SCIENTIFIC AND MECHANICAL.

In digging wells or sink holes great care
should be exercised that the drainage from
the latter does not affect the former MANY
wells are poisoned in this way. The water
tastes unpIeasantly which is proof that
it is unhealthy. Seek out the cause-sus-
pect that it is the sink hole, and you will be
on the right track Some families suffer
from wells affected BY siuks.
The fall of large mass Of rocks situated
between Heidelberg and Weislooh, caused
by the recent earthquakes in Germany, has
revealed the works Of an ancient silver mine
which was worked by the Romans. Very
little silver ore was left in the mines, but an
abundance Of rich zine ore has been found
which had remained untouched by the an
Gent workers.

From the White Pine News, July IL


The people inhabiting the northwestern
part Of Nevada are at present in an intense
state Of excitement over tie supposed dis
covery of the traces and habitation of lost
or wild white man. Rumor had located it
upon high and denscly wooded mountain,
near the Utah line, and after gathering all
the information that we could we armed and
equipped ourselves for trip to the loca-
ton described, about fifty miles from our
camp, at the sink of Deep Creek. After a
tlresome ride Of two days over the noun
tains, and through one of the widest and
roug hest regions Of this wild and rough
country, We cane in sight Of and encamped
near the eastern slope Of the mountain. All
were now upon the qui rire for some sign
OF the strange inhabitant. We had just
picketed our animals, and sat by the fire
telling strange experiences of frontier life,
when we were aroused by crashing sound,
caused by the swift approach of some strange
looking body, coming toward camp. Just
at this moment the moon shone through
the clouds almost as brilliant as the sun at
MONDAY. We had splendid view of the
object. 1t is undoubtedly a white man,
about forty years old, nearly covered by a
coat Of fine long hair, and in appearance
otherwise not at all startling. He carried
in his right hand huge club; and in his
left, a rabbit or some other small animal.
He caught sight of us almost instantane
ously, as the moon shone out, and with a
scream like tho rear Of lion, and bran
1ishing his club, dashed past the camp and
attacked the horses in perfect frenzy of

demon. Occasionally, through

Death Of a Living Skeleton. I"

Nathaniel Wilson, the renowned ''living
skeleton, " died on Friday last, in Boston at
tho age Of thirty years. Wilson seems to
have inherited from his mother the extraor-
binary pecularities which marked bis physi-
cal condition. During childhood be was
rugged and healthy, but in his sixteenth
year, signs Of wasting away" and loss Of
flesh commenced to appear. He resided with
his mother at the time at Harndcn, Maine.
Doctors examined him then. They were
bafled. With an extraordinary powerful
voice, energetic mind, and no apparent traces
Of consumption, they advised him to 70 to
sea, which be did. His voyages were made
to the West Indies and in southerly dircc-
ton. To one Of his voyages to the" Indies"
be was attacked with fever and ague, and it
is supposed that by reason of them he suffer
ed continually from chills ever afervards
Ho subsequently removed TO Boston with
his mother, where bis weight finally dwind-
led down to about seventy pounds. For
six years he has been in this condition,
battling all the medical profession, and APP
parently living in skeletonic form. 1t
was this remarkable condition that caused
him to be exhibited as wonder Of the age
Before be was confined to bis bed be had
great difficulty in walking up any rising
ground, and often in bis walking he has been
compelled to seek assistance to reach his
home. His right leg failed him, and when
he was confined to bed he required his at
Itendants to straighten it for him. Severe
pains running from his right shoulder also
troubled him, but these have since been ex-
planned to be caused by bis right lung, which
was entirely gone and eating up by abscess-
es.
The face Of the dead man up to Saturday
night was not discolored !; the flesh was plas-
tered, as it were, on to the bones, and the
whole appearance Of the body was "skele-
tonic" The eyes were deeply sunken,
while a placid and serene look dwelt upon
his countcnance. He is very intelligent in
appearance his features are delicate his
nose exceedingly handsome, and his fore
head high and not at all contracted His
arms are two and half inches around, and
his legs hardly exceed them in size.

- In 1916, the United States and Russ i
both emerged from the NapOleOnic wars, 10
which Russia had taken part with Englans
and the United States against her. Duri E
our war Of 1925, the suspension Of COZ j.
merce with England had built up numerous
manufactures, and the condition Of the coun-
try, apart from the trials of war, was pros
porous. The commerce Of Russia had been
open with England during the same perit |,
and her domestic industries had suffered
more severely than ours With the peace,
British manufactures swept freely into both
countries for eight years, prostrating the
previously growing manufactures Of the
United States, in a manner, that in 1919,
( was thus described by General Andrew
Jackson

Adams was elected in 1924, and prOtcc-

on the election of jackson himself, in 1872,
at the same time, Russia abandoned sharply
her free trade policy, and adopted rigidly

ever since. At that time the prospects of
the United States for rapid Advancement,

She Works for a Living.

Commend us to the girl Of when ia is
sneeringly said, "sbe works for a living. :"
In her we are always sure Of true woman
real lady. True We are not prepared to
sec mincing step, naughty lip fashion
able dress, or splendid string Of nonsense
about bills and young men, or the new or
next party-no, no, but we are prepared to
hear words of good sense language becoming
a woman O neat Dress, a mild brow and to
witness movements that would not disgrace
an angel.
You are looking for wives and compan-
ions, true from the ia ,honable naughty girls,
and select one Of those who work for living,
and ncver-our word for twill you repent
your choice. You want substantial friend
and not help cat-a counsellor and not a
piano into your house, but you can bny a
sewing machine or 4 set of knitting needles
If you cannot buy ticket for ball, you
can visit some afflicted neighbor.
Be careful then, when you look for com
psnions, and when you chose. We know
many foolish man who, instead Of selecting
an Industrious and prudent woman for a
wife, took one from fashionable stock, and
is now lamenting bis folly in dust and ash
es. lie ran into the fire with his eyes wide
open, and who but himself is to blame.
The time was when ladies visited and
took work with them. This is the reason
why we bad snch excellent mothers. How
singular would..a gay woman look in fash.
ionablc circle darning her fathers stockings.
Would not her companions laugh at her
And yet such a woman would be prize to
somebody. Blessed is the man who choose
for bis wife one from the despised girls "wbo
work for living"
