NEVADA STATE ITEMS,

ABOUT THOSE POISONED MEN.-In our
issue of yesterday morning, in speaking
OF the strange poisoning of the miners
working in the Utah mine, we stated
that they were afflicted by a dimness of
vision. We now learn that their blind
ness is not of that character, but is
caused by swelling of the eyelids and q
closing up of the eyes. The poison does
not seem to affect the vision except in
this external manner. Two of the work.
men are so far recovered that they will
probobly be able to go to work again in
day or two. The question arises will
the eyes of these men again be closed
up. or will they, by this first attack, have
become Injured to the poison, whatever it
may be. 1t would seem, by the fierce
manner In which the water everywhere
spurts out of the rock, that the main
drift running west is now near the lead
or, at least, that it is on the point of
tapping large subterranean reservoir of
water. That the water should be SO
strongly impregnated with minerals as
to prove poisonous to the workmen, is
considered good sign, as it is said that
the same poisonous vapor of water was
encountered in the Savage and Yellow
Jacket mines some years ago previous to
the striking of large bodies of rich ore. -

THs Popular Science Monthly finds
almost as effsctual and continuous an
Intervention of heredity in the trans
mission of passions and sentiments of
very different order-those which incline
to vice. The liking for strong drink,
habits of debauch, passion for gam.
bling, acquire in some persons degree
of force which can be accounted for only
by some fatal organic predisposition de-
rived from their ancestors. "A lady with
whom | was acquainted" says CANA
Machado, land who possessed large
fortune, was possessed Of passion for
gambling, and passed whole nights at
play; she died young, of a pulmonary
complaint. Her eldest son, who was in
appearance the image of his mother, had
the same passion for play. He died of
consumption, like his mother, and about
the same age. His daughter, who resem.
bled, him inherited the same tastes, and
died young" The heredity OF dispo-
stion for theft, rape, murder and suicide
has been proved in several instances.
