Edison has turned from astronomy to min
ing After suggesting to the astronomers that
they might, by means of his tasimeter, dis
cover invisible stars through the effects of
their heat ON that sensitive instrument, he
now gives the miners hint. He suggests that
the size, character and point of groupings of a
mineral lode may be determined by the differ
ence of the cOnductiyity of electricity, pro-
yided that the walls Of the lodges are lined
with clay or decOmpOsed rock. If, after ex-
pertinent, this scheme be found practicable,
much labor in digging tunnels and sinking
shafts will be saved and, where the conditions
are favorable, the miner may detect immedi-
ately, by the use of an electric apparatus. the
quantity of ore in a mine and its direction.
Experiments with possible results of such
value in view are we'll worth the making, and
the theory will soon be put to test in the Com
stock lode

The citizens of the district of county be
tween the Nueces river and the Rio Grande,
in Texas, have sent an address to the Secretary
OF Sta'e, appealing for protection from raiders
crossing from the Mexican side. A lively pic
ture of their diStreSSes is draw n and alfiiavits
of eye-witneSSeS of recent incursion are
given. together with list of the killed and
wounded and map of the country traverSed
by the raiders. They add:
I'VE call upon You, therefore, as a states
man OF great and Just nation, to ayenge our
dead To punish the criminals and insure our
protection In the future. We know there are
malcOntents who seek to stir up strife. We
are not of these. Were We such our bitter
burning wrongs are sufficient to drive us TO
desperation now. We know, too, that fiOrid
language and intense expression are used for
political purposes and partisan ends, but We
cannot emphasize our language or intensity
our expressions with the force they require.
Our cry Is for Justice
Simultaneously with this address and like
an answer TO it comes the news of another
raid by Col. Mackenzie int Mexico. Every
man in his force has 40 rounds of ammunition
and ten days ratiOns. They followed fresh
trail. The Mexicans are said to have organ
lied for the purpose of attacking our forces
when they appear. The next news from the
border may be of bloOdshed ON the other side.
The 18th OF August has come and gone and
yet the lamp posts do not bear fruit, nor does
the smoke OF burning houses rise ON the air.
The weary capitalist is still permitted to go
unmOlested TO the scene of his daily labors,
while the labor -reformer revels in the excite
ment of raising the voice of the people" at
outdoor meetings, or in listening to the elo-
quence OF Kearney. The compromise plan is
ending the few scattered strikes that remain !;
and in spite OF the hard times, which affect
hath
the working on of the country will be spared
that extreme distress which alone could in
duce them to conntenance in the least the
plans OF lawlessness with which they are
tempted by the vicious element of our popu.
