curious electrical phenomenon has existed for
several days past at Valley View Station,
about twelve miles from Carson, on the Bodie

= litter and received such severe electric
shock that he dropped the litter and staggered
back with an exclamation of surprise HIS

A CURIOUS SCRER.

About this time the hired hands came in to
get dinner, but it was found impos IDLE to
take anything off the stove. Charley Palmer,
the stage driver, attempted to manipulate !.
coffee pot fro n the stove, and sprang two feet
in the air with q yell of pain. Con Denise
thought it would be the easiest thing in the
world to move pot of cabbage, when he was
landed in the corner of the room and made no
further attempts. The stew pans, pots, etc. :,
were finally removed from the stove by Mr..
Curtis, who encased his hands in sheep skin
gloves, the material being non cond actor
of electricity. Next morning there was con-
siderable of it in the stove, but at noon
it was scarcely observable. Many theories
were of course advanced to account for the
presence of so much electricity.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1879-12-24
THE EXPLANATION.

Mr. Curtis finally observed that the cur
rent was strongest during the prevalence of
high winds, and this led hun to discover that
the electricity WAS generated from a wind
mill, vi oh was about Fifty feet from the house.
The fcit reaches the stove pipe by the
means OF a wire which is fastened to the wind
mill to guy the pipe. When the wind mill
stops there is no electricity in the stove, but
after it makes half dozen revolutions it is
not safe to handle utensils on the range By
disconn.cting the wire the supply is cut off.

TIE TURF.

The TnrBUSE has heretofore called attention to
the mistakes made by the ST. Louis Jockey Club,
some Of which were 1ndicrous. and nearly all se-
rious. The latest one H. however, OF such grave
character that It deserves more than passing no
tice, especially the position taken by the Club
secms to meet the Ticws Of other associations
which are apparently anxious to place themselves
on record as expone1lts OF the oft~attempted but
nere1-accomplished feat sf riding at the came
time two horses going in opposite directions. The
facts IN the matter 60 plain and simple that it
is wonder that anybody could have for q moment
been deceived into ignoring them. When the
St. Louis Club advertised the stakes that are to
be run at the summer meeting It stated specifically
that the rules Of the Louisville Jockey Club would
govern. One Of these s as follows: The name,
color age, pedigree, sire ana dam Of horse, mare,
or geldfng entered must be siyen."
There is nistak!nR the provisions Of this rule.
but nevertheless number Of entries we're made at
St Louis in which they were disrecarded. The
same thing occurred ut Chicago, where the same
rules OBTAIN. Public attention was drawn to the
matter by a writer for IN Eastern paper, who very
naturally remarked that in case any Of the horses
improperly entered won the event In which they
we're named the owner Of the horse running Sec
ond would be entitled to claim and obtain the
stakes. As the matter Affected large num-
Der OF horses, tume excitement WAS created
by the discovery. The Chicago Club raid nothing,
but that at ST. Louis. BY one OF Its officers urompt
~ came ont with card, stating that notwithstand~
ing the in making entries 10 the stakes the
borse thut won would receive the money. This
WAS made in the authoritative and
Dom bast,c style peculiar to Persons who write on
concerning which their knowledge Is e1-
tremcly limited, and had such tone OF assurance
that many persons we're deceived into regarding it
Is possessing some weight. II may seem strange
that men who have spent the major portion of their
lircs among horsemen and horses should allo"
their sober Judgment to be overthroFu or
the simple say-eo Of somebody In ST.
Louis. but such = is the case.
No less than four racing associations. and one
turfman, have written to the Chicago
Jockey and Trottin2 Club asking it, in the Ian,
guage OF one letter, to ''take decided stand "
on this matter: TO these appeals tue Club has
but one reply: That the judges for It's running
