The claim for sindircct damages" at
the Geneva Conference made more dis
cussion than anything else when En-
gland was trying 10 settle with the United

Miohigan's Mineral Wealth.

Michigan is rapidly coming to the
front as a me tai producing State. Its
copper mines probably now rival thosS
81 Chill and their output during the past
year is said to be in excess of any of the
other copper districts of the world. The
yield Of all the copper mines in 1881 is
placed at about $4,000 tons Of mineral,
possessing a value of about $40. 900, 900.
In this connection, it is worthy of re-
mark that all Of the Lake Superior cop
per is not an ore, but a pure metal,
which is ready for the market us soon as
it is taken from the mine. This copper
is especially noted for its tenacity, and,
for uses where this quality is particular
ly desirable. it commands a high price.
As an iron-yielding State, Michigan has
ranked for several years rs second only
TO Pennsylvania in the quality OF its ore,
while being first in h value Of its pro-
duct. 1t is now thought, however, that
last year this State was in reality the
largest ore producing commonwealth in
the country. The product of its mines
in that year was a total of 1921, 3l5 tons,
while in 1880 the output of the Penn
sylvania mines was but 2 ,1S5,675 tons Of
ore. The mining papers of this State
are now rejoicing oyer the fact that the
mines of Michigan have already pro-
duced over $50. 900 tons of ingot copper,
and over 1900, 900 tons of ingot iron
ore, representing q value of over $780,
DOC, 900, and hat the net earnings OF
| these mines in 1881 exceeded those Of all
the gold, silver. lead and other metal
| mines in the United States combined.
| Certainly, the mineral wealth Of the two
States OF Michigan and Pennsylvania,
| added to the ~undeveloped mineral re
| sources, which are doubtless contained
| elsewhere in our broad cxpanse of ter.
ritory, is a promise of prosperity such
as nothing else could furnish.-InduG-

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Compiled for the Cheyenne Leader.
DIR. VIM. A.. Hammond finds over
heated apartments to be q potent cause
of nervous irritabillty. If we would
preserve our amiability and our tran
quillity of mind we should live in well
ventilated rooms kept at a temperature
of about sIxty-aye degrees.
Ofthe sense Of taste, Prof. McKen'
drick states that the base Of the tongue
is most sensitive to bitters, and the tiT
to sweets. A substance must be solu'

taste, but no definite relation has been
found between the chemical condition
Of bodies and their taste.
Modern improvements have increased
the power of the microscope 80 greatly
that it is now made to magnify about
100. 900 diameters. The best unaided
human vision can see no objects much
smaller than the threehundredth Of an
inch in diameter; but the most skillful
microscopes, with their best instru-
ments, are able to examine monads a
hundred-thousandth of an inch in
diameter. Beyond this minuteness is
obscurity. 1t has been estimated that
the ultimate particles or atoms compos-
ing all matter can be no more than one
twenty-millionth of an inch in diameter,
so that it seems hardly probable that
they will ever be revealed to human
eyes.
DR.. T. Sterry Hunt has calculated
that the amount of carbonic acid stored
in the limestones of the earth would
form not less than two hundred atmo-
spheres equal in weight to u own.
This, together with the carbon Of the
coal-beds must have been drawn from
the air, which he believes gradually
receives its supply of the gas from inter-
stellar space.
II the astronomical view that the
moon was once a part of the earth's
a be true, the moon in its early age
must have revolved much nearer to the
earth than now and must have caused
p%rodigious tides upon its parent planet
as recently shown by Prof. Ball. Prof.
J. S. Newberry finds in geological evil
dence a refutation of this theory-to
the extent, at least, of proving conclu-
sively that no such tides could have ex-
listed since the commencement of the
geological record. he does not hesi-
tate to assert therefore that the %astrono-
mers are in error in regard to the moons
genesis, or that If 1t. was once a portion
of the earth, the separation took place
at a period so remote that it had reced-
ed to nearly its present distance before
the dawn of life on the earth.
Explorations by a Russian party

valuable in cases OF burns.
