Pleasing Prospects Respecting the 'Dol-
lars Of our Dsddies-"

A Boston Journal contains the following,
taken from one of the New York dailies:
sIn noting the departure for Europe OF
Mr.. John w. Mackay, the California mil
honaire, our New York contemporary pre-
sents the following interesting particulars
relating to the famous Comstock Lode, the
camping ground, as it were. of more than
one of the Pacific coast millionaires. There
has been, no doubt, considerable OF the
wild cal business in mining in one way or
another, but with the following results and
figures, which are unquestionably true,
staring one in the face, il will readily be
seen why the most far sighted and knowing
ones continue to pin their faith to and pan
their profits from the above celebrated
section The north end of the ledge is now
attracting especial attention, and from
latest Developments, those made in the
Original Keystone mine-the latter running
1,S00 feet on the main ledge, and accord
ing to the recent investigation and report
OF the English expert, John ID. Barry, A.
|. c. E., one of the most promising mines
on the entire ledge-are particularly inter-
esting and all the indications point to
highly gratifying results.
s'The celebrated Comstock vein or lode
is situated in Story County, in the State Of
Nevada, on chain of mountains called
the Washoe Range, east Of the Sierra
Nevada, having mean elevation Of 6, 900
feet above the level of the sea. Mount
Davidson, the highest peak, reaching an
elevation of 2, 800 feet.
The range begins near Carson City, run
ming with general direction Of % deg.
west of north for $50 miles.
'.The whole region represents a great
barren wilderness, where nature has denied
all agricultural prosperity, but in her equity
has stored probably the greatest amount of
mineral wealth to be found in one locality
in the world.
"During the last twenty years the Com
stock vein has given sixteen bonanzas,
from which 6, 800, 600 tons of ore have beer
extracted.
''The average assay value of this large
mass was $50 per ton; it yielded in the
mill S4l.S0, and from the treatment of
sluices, $5-total $40. so per ton.
THUS the total value of the ore ex-
tracted was 1868, 1.6O5, yielding a net
sum from mills and sluices of 1928, ,671.-

GLYCERINE.-Glycer is the sweet
principle o. oils, the base of compounds
found In animal fats and also in some
vegetable substances. IL is product of
a process OF sapOnihcation. As pre-
pared by the pharmaceutists, it is
taken up with boiling water from lis
mixture in Il Tree state with the plum
biferous soap called lead plaster. The
plaster is made by boiling together
ntharage (oxide OF lead), olive oil and
wafer. The oil is decomposed by the
lead taking its acids, and the glycerine
is thus liberated. The lead Is got rid
of by filtering, and the water is re-
moved by evaporation, at temper
ture below 2l2 aeg., leaving the glycer-

A Rain Totcer.-Mr. Bells rain tower
is charming little structure of stone,
one hundred feet in diameter at the
base, and tapering to sixty feet diane
ter at a height of one thousand feet.
Above this rises a tubular tower OF
wood or iron, say I've hundredfeet. Ii
would not often be necessary to go
above one thousand five hundred feet,
Mr.. Bell thinks, though that altitude
might be exceeded il necessary. OF
course there would be no risk of such
a tower being blown down or crush
ing its foundation by its own weight.
The interior hollow of the tower would
have diameter of twenty feet; and
through it vast volume of saturated
air could be blown in the upper atmos-
phere by means OF proper machinery
at the base OF the tower. In case that
might not suffice TO secure the desired
precipitation of rain an additional up
rush of air around the tower is obtain
ed by means of numerous tubes lead
ing upward and outward from the In
terror OF the tower at an angle, say, OF
As deg. Similar tubes descending
from the inside to the outside
of the tower serve as inlets, the

ed in by the ascending current within
the tower; then, after it has received
''the upward impetus of the inside

in the words OF the inventor, Through
every stratum of air pierced by this
mammoth rouunda, the air surround
ing the outside walls will be agitated
by an upward influence" making the
exterior ascension indefinitely exceed
the interior. The inventor adds:
"While these tubes, discreetly located
at meteorological csnters. would
doubtless become reliable agencies for
the formation of clouds, it should be
their faculty also to prevent rain; for
by reversing the motion OF the fan or
blower, descensional flow of air
would begin. which might annihilate
the clouds overhanging, by bringing
them to earth in aeriform and holding
them here [securely bottled OF course y

He couldn't account for it until he

stuck up through the board. Some men
