Some idea of the wealth of the mines
on this coast may be obtained from the
fact that in 1877 there was S76,0OO,0OO
on deposit in the savings banks OF Call
fornia. This is the largest amount OF
money ever held by the banks OF the

The Providence Journal objects to the
admission of Dakota, and the Chicago
Tribune says this protest comes with
a very poor grace from Rhode Island
whose population, after 245 years OF
settlement, is only one-half larger than
that of Dakota, after an organized ex-
istence of but twenty years. The vote
of Dakota in 1880 was S,424, while
that of Rhode Island was only 29,235.

most serious draw backs to tho general
use Of tho electric light. Zinc, 1t Is
known, may be burnt in air--that is,
oxidizcd; 1t may also be burnt or oxl-
died In acidulated water, but 1t has to
displace the oxygen from the kyrdro-
gen for this to occur, and four-lifLhs of
the heat Is used up in this process.

Of the burning makes no difference
