An ingenious improvement on the

forty magnets about half an inch long.
made fat and thin and set on edge an
eighth Of an inch apart. As the like
poles Of these magnets face one way, and
severally point north aud south, the bars
across which they are set points east and
west. When there is no local attraction
this bar aud the common needle are
exactly at right angles; any disturbing
mass attracts both. and their indications
can be read on circle. Compensation
is effected by using the repellent pole Of
q cylindrical magnet until ninety degreel

The recent rains in California and
Oregon have been unprecedented in ex-
tent OF country drenched and the amount
Of rainfall. From the Columbia River
TO the Gull of California there was
steady down pour, fifteen and one-half
inches having fallen in four days. What
q heavy rain really means in avoirdupois
weight is we'll illustrated by some statis-
tics given by Mr.. Symons in his recent
report on "The Rainfall of Great Britain
for the year 1874" The rain Of Octo-
Der 9th was the most important during
the year. At about 80 stations the fall
exceeded two inches; at 20, 3 inches; at
4, A inches; at 2, 6 inches. The heaviest
rain, from inches to 8 inches and more.
was pretty we'll confined to the western
part of England; parts of Cumberland,
Westm orelaud and North Wales having
had falls Of inches. In connection
with this widely distributed and in some
places heavy fall. Mr.. Symons has given
an interesting calculation Of the whole
weight of water precipitated on this day.
which he reckons at 3,797 900. 600 tons.
He adds:
It rather curious. although purely
fortuitous circumstance that this grand
total OF nearly 900, DOC. 900 tons should
be almost exactly equal to a uniform foil
OF l inch over the whole Of England and
| Wales. There is another aspect Of the
question which has not yet received AIDE
| auate study: How much air has beer
deprived OF its vapor to provide this uni
form deposit Of 1 inch Of rain? cubic
| inch of water contains 252 grains. TAX
| ing the temperature OF the air at 30 deg.
a cubic foot can contain only five grains
and as the air was certainly not deprived
| OF half il moisture, even allowing 10
change of temperature, each cubic foo
could have yielded at the most onl
three grains. But there are ,728 cubi
inches in a cubic foot, and therefore eacl
cubic inch could have given only l.b7
J (say 1-600) OF a grain. Az the inch q
rain requires 252 grains, we have the r.
suit, 252 X 600 - 1862. 200 vertical inches
or 13, 600 feet, or rather more than tw
miles high OF air must have been Dire
to have yielded the water deposited.

Yesterday about noon report reached
town that terrible accident had occurred
at the Eureka Consolidated mine, on
Ruby Hill. As is usual in such cases
there were many conflicting stories rela.
tive to the cause and extent Of the disas.
ter, and finding it impossible to gather
any reliable information here in town,
the Sentinel dispatched reporter to the
scene Of the accident, where he learned
the following particulars:
About II o'clock yesterday forenoon,
at the Lawton shaft. John McGinnis, the
shift boss. started with some mining tim
bers in the safety cage to go down into
the mine. The cage was being lowered
by the engine. and when between the
seventh and eighth levels from some I'M
known cause the wrought iron shaft
which holds the reel broke, freeing the
latter and causing the cage to descend
with the velocity of bullet down into
the space below. The engineer sprang
for the brake, but the cage had gained
such Roadway that it could not be
checked, and it fell distance OF perhaps
70 or 80 feet to the platform at the 9Th
level. McGinnis was instantly killed by
the fall, and when the cage brought up
upon the platform the timbers
with which it was loaded were
forced through the bottom and they
fell into the shaft, which had been sunk
eighty feet below the eighth level. at the
bottom of which three men-Thomas
McConaghy, Hugh Holmes and James
McNeil-were working. McConaghy re-
ceived injuries which will in all proba-
bility, prove fatal; and both Of Holmes
/ legs were badly broken. Mcneil hap

partment of the shaft, and consequently
escaped unframed. The wounded men
$ were hoisted to the eighth level. where

they were raised to the surface. McGin

and crushed. there being scarcely a whole
bone in his body. He was, we believe

J. years. He bore an excellent charater
:, was exceedingly popular among his fel

his recovery. DR.. Bishop is attending

Senator Morton still affects TO believe
that the next Presidential contest must
be fought ont on war issues. The bloody
shirt is the only standard under which
he will rally. 10 an interview with re-
porter of the indianapolis Journal. the
other day, he said: II entertain but
little apprehension about the result OF
the next Presidential election. The
Democratic party is under the control of
the old anti-war politicians, who sympa-
tbized with the rebellion. and although
these men are trying to talk loyalty. yet
the people have not forgotten their rec
ord. and will not trust them; and / be-
lieye that the Union soldiers and the peo-
pie Of the North who took part in putting
down the rebellion will be better united
against the Democracy than they have
been since 1866. The presence OF
between eighty and ninety Confederate
officers in the next Congress is fact
the Significance Of which is not to be
mistaken. The recent demonstration
throughout the South in favor of JEFF
Davis and the heroes and principles O
the rebellion have not escaped the atten
ton and consideration of the people o
the North. In short am satisfied tina
the people of the United States are no
prepared to trust the administration Q
the government, its finances, its honor
and its prosperity in the hands of II
late enemies, who have for twenty veal
shown their incapacity for everythin
but crimes and blunders."
