A Natural Soap Mine.

On Smiths Crock in Elko county
Nevada, there Is most remarkable
stratum of steatlte resting horizontally
In steep bluff of volcanic matter
which aanks the eastern side Of Smiths
Creek Valley. The stratum of stcatite
is from three to ten feet in diameter.
1t is easily worked and Is II veritable
soap mine. In fact, tho farmers, cattle
mon, and sheep herders III that region
all use the natural article for washing
purposes. Chemically considered this
this peculiar clay is a hydrated sylicate
OF alumina, magnesia, potash snd lime.
When the steatite Is first dug from the
stratum 1t looks precisely like immense
masses Of mottled Castillo soap, the mot
tling element being small pcrce ntage
of Iron oxide.- Professor Stewart re-
ceived a sample of this natural SOAP
prepared by firm in Elko who have
undertaken to introduce 1t into the
market. 1t is similar in appearance to
the CASTLE soap soil in large bars.
Nothing Is added to the mineral but a
trlfle moro of alkali and some scenting
extracts. Its detersivc qualities are as
powerful as those Of any manufactured
iOan.

In; above thc.roofIs Il lookout balcony.
The only entrance Is a small doorway
above tho stone snbatructure, ap-
preached either by ladder or single
piece OF rope, which, when the tower
is occupied, ls drawn up. Tho huts,
surrounded generally by low earthen
walls, resemble those all over upper

covered roofs some twenty feet long,
ton or twelve broad, and six high.
Sometimes they are longer and divided
into apartments, in one Of which the
COWS and buffalocs arc housed, though
quito as often they occupy tho same
apartment as their owners. Their por-
tionis generally anything but clean {;
the portion occupied by the familG is
swept out daily by tho women, who, as
a rule, do not only all domestic work,
but good portion of outside duty also.
The only furniture consists of two or
three small bedsteads covered with
string, Oh which lie tumblcd some
dirty quilts and blankets; In ono cor.
ner some sced-cases, covered with q
coating Of mud, con tanning the grain for
daily use and for tho next sowing sea-
son; a small stool or two, and some
spinningwheels, at which the women
sit when at leisure, which Is seldom; a
few ghnrras, earthen vessels, holding
water or buttcrmilk, and used as cook

done, tho smoke Of which, having no
outlets, blackens walls and rafters, on
which hang the warllko implements of

Patents for Protcctiny the Dead.-In
consequence Of the increasing number
of graveyard dissertations, the genius
CT the inventor has been melted to de-
wise means for their defeat. Among
the most recent patents Is one for Il cof-
fin torpedo, which consists of Il canis-
ter containing powder, balls and Il
firing trigger, so arranged that on
placing the torpedo within the coffin,
and finally closing the lid, should any
attempt be made to open the coffin the
torpedo will be instantly exploded, a
noise like thunder ensue and deadly
balls will fly In MI directions. Had
tho remains of tho late millionaire, Mr..
Stewart, been protected by means OF
this invention the neighhorhood In

rested would have been alarmed. while
the robbers themselves would doubt
less have suffered sudden death rs the
penalty Of their rash and sacrllegious
attempt.

Usefal Hlnts to Millers.

In the course of Professor Peck's re.
port On tho Minneapolis Touring mill
explosion, the following among other
suggestions arc made to millers: First
Never use an open light in any part
Of the mill. Second-Never light a
lantern or strike q match for any pur-
pose, In any part Of the mill where
there Is any dust at all. Third--Never
use an ordinary lantern in a spout or
bin whore there Is a draught Of air car
rying dust with it. One end of suoh
spout or bin should be closed before
the lantern Is introduced. A lantern
should not be placed in such a locality
1t can be possibly avoided, and, If abso-
lntely necessary, a light covered with
a fine wiro gauze would be much safer.

Anothcr Application Of ElcctricHy.-A
new and useful application of electric
ity has been made by an American in
ventor to the apparatus for rceling sill k
from the cocoon. The delicate fla
mcnts Of silk are carried over wire
arms, which arc so nicely balanced
that trcy do not press against the silk
strongly enough to break 1t, and, in
this relation, Il current is kept open.
but II the tllament breaks the arm falls,
the circuit Is closed, and an electro
magnet instantly stops the reel until
the break is repaired. AS the work is
now done, the detection Of broken
tllamcnt depends entirely upon the
skill Of the workmcn, and the work
must be carried OH slowly that tho eye
can note any break, while with this
automatic stop 1t is said the labor will
be much more rapidly done, and Il
more uniform thread produced. The
Invention Is being introduced into
France aud ltaly, tho two great silk
producing countries Of Europe.

Uo,o Scdentary Life Affects Women.
The Popular Science Monthly remarks
that all of the Ills and diseases prevalent
among women In our day, arc no doubt
traceablc to the scdcntary mode of life
so common among them. The progress
of the industrial arts has done away
with much Of the household drudgcry TO
which women were formerly subjected,
and the result Is in too many cases,
want Of sufficient occupation for
needed bodily exercise. 1t says, the
fruits Of this state Of things arc strik-
ing exhibited In certain observations
made by the late DR.. Robertson, IL
Manchester surgeon, who in his prac-
ticc rs a specialist for women's diseases
found that In women who themselves
performed all their household work,
there was no trace OF certain COM
plants; that these complaints begin to
mako their appearance In women who
have ono servant, become moro pro-
nounced In women who have two SER
wants, or still worse with those who
haVc three servants, and so on. He
statistically showed that tho deaths
from childbirth were four times rs
great In cases Of women with four SER
wants, rs those with none. On the
other hand we observed Il statement the
other day, that since suspension Of la-
Dor in the mills OF New England on
account OF the panic many Of the female
operatives have sought employment as
d0mcstics, and as Il consequence there
Is much more sickness among them
than previously. This would seem to
show that housGwork is not rs healthy
as labor In cotton Or woolcn mills.
