wi OF STARS.


tOr THIS week.
Last night there was and tonight and
tomorrow night, there will be a display
OF celestial fireworks that never fail in
their exhibition. The earth then plunges
through the domains of an cratic men,
Der of the system known as the August
meteor zone. 1t is mysteriously associa-
ted with the second comet OF 1852, or has
been gradually formed from its substance.
The meteors are now distributed through
every portion Of the vast ring, though
somewhat unequally. Therefore, every
year, when about the 10th of August the
earth crosses this zone, there is a shower
of meteors more or less abundant. Some
times the showers are very brilliant. At
ordinary times, an observer may be reason
ably sure of counting several hundreds on
the nights mentioned. These meteors
are usually yellow, and leave behind trails
OF vapor that often last several seconds.
The meteroic downfall may be easily ex-
planned. The earth travels with a velocity
of eighteen miles q second, plunged into
a mass of cosmical atoms, whose velocity
is increased by her attraction to thirty
miles a second. The meteors impinge
upon the atmosphere with this tremendous
velocity, become vaporized by the concus-
sion, and leave a train Of luminous vapor
behind them when they fall. This ring
of meteors is calculated to be nearly eleven
thousand million miles in diameter, and
four million miles in breadth. The fiery
tears of ST.. Lawrence is the name given
to the August meteors by the poetry and
superstition of the past, because they fall
on the day made memorable by the mar
tyrdom of the famous saint.

The Lumber Yard.

The Eureka and California Lumber Com
pany has become fairly established in its
new quarters below the Eureka Con. Stag
dump, from which point lumber is now
shipped according to orders. The yard IL
connected by telephone with the Office O
Reinhart & Co., at the grain mill, wher e
J. Fl. Mundy will take orders for luul-
Der that will receive prompt attention..
Mr.. Mundy is also authorized by the coin
pany to receive moneys and receipt for t.hs
same. This is q great convenience to the
public, and obviates many long and drIsty
trips to the yard. Lumber will be- dtliv-
cred from the present quarters on the i anne
terms as from the old.

The Language of Flowers.

A woman with a market basket on her

was waiting at the ferry dock, when a man
of pleasant address approached her and
said.

Extensive Improvements.

Not at all discouraged by the temporary
lull in business and the reported shutting
down of the Richmond, Joe Mendes has
undertaken some considerable improve.
ments in his saloon, which will be cal
culated to render 1t e more popular resort
than ever. The raised back floor he pro-
poses to bring down to o level of only
three stepa of the first floor and, also. to
extend it quite a distance to the front.
The result will be space enough below and a
room above 10 feet long by Is feet wide.
He proposes to make 1t lively up there
with all sorts of games. He has already
ordered cartridge-loAding rifles, and will
have a shooting gallery. Joe is enterpris-
ing and deserves the success he enjoys.

A patent for the town-site OF Cherry

Outside coal men were notified yesterday
that they need not deliver any more Goa

The gross product Of the Ontario Silver
Mining Company of Utah for the month
of July was S260,54 46, all silver.
The highest point reached by the mer.

the same temperature as the day previous.
Several parties left last evening by pri-
vate conveyance, to attend the races, which
commence to-day and continue for three
days.
1t was reported here last evening thai
Hamilton was visited yesterday afternoon
with q terrific rain storm that lasted two
hours.
Should the Richmond Company shut
down their furnaces, as it is reported they
intend doing, it will be a great detriment
to the town.
Some very fine currants, as fine as any
currants from anywhere else, have been
brought to Eureka from ranches near by
within the last week.
We have received the first number of

Dave Rosenberg yesterday purchased
the stock and fixtures of the Oriental
saloon. Dave understands the business,
and has hosts of friends who will stand by
him.
The only marked feature in the stock

Gates a 5O-cent "divy" for the present
month.
The wind came down in a hurricane last

simply a bundle of flesh worms under the

get there or for what purpose, but their
presence turns the sportsman's stomach
and he throws the game away.
The report was current on the streets yes
terday that the Richmond Company would
shut down the smelling works during the
next ten days if they did not find a body
of ore in tho meantime. We do not put
much confidence in the report, believing
they have ore, and we think they have an
abundance of it.

NEyADA'S MUNIFICENCE,
How the M~ethOdists are Aided by
Contributions of Mining stock,

of Mining stock.
Col. Comins of W~innemucca, Nevada,
has delivered to the President of Middle
bury College, Vermont, the title deeds to
the Rose Creek Silver Mine,' in the
Sierra Mining District, Humboldt County.
The value, as estimated by the giver, is
100000. The condition Of the gift is that
it shall go toward the building of a Hall
of Science, " which shall bear the name of
the giver. We suppose the generous donor
Of this valuable endowment is in earnest,
but nevertheless there is always q grim
Francisco Daily Exchange. We well re-
member the celebrated endowment of the
Wesleyan University of Tennessee by the
renowned Col. II. G. Bixby of Arizona.
The Colonel was placing" the stock of
the Isabella Mill and Mining Company of
Globe District at the East. By an inspira-
ton of genius it occurred to him that it
would be a noble deed to endow some in
stitution of learning with some of the
prospective wealth in the bowels of the
Isabella. So he scanned the list of uni
versities, and, being an ardent Methodist,
chose the Wesleyan University as the re-
cipient Of his bounty. He named 500, 900
as the amount of his charity-10,0 900 shares
of Isabella stock at $40 a share. The
Trustees were to sell the stock at that
price and realize the 500, 900. The joy of
the Reverend Faculty at this sublime gift
was so great that they could not do enough
to evince their gratitude and admiration
for their noble benefactor. In the first
gush of enthusiasm they even proposed to
l~.-- H. II Ias- l. H.
"Bixby University" but this the modest
Colonel would not listen to. The 10000
shares of stock were at once placed on sale,
and one or two thousand were worked off
in short order. All the Bishops and the
clergy, the Methodist journals and high
officials of the Church sailed in to market
the stock and realize the endowment. But
after the first flush Of excitement the en-
dowment stock was found to be slow Of
sale, though the brethren all seemed to
take great interest in Isabella, and Col.
Bixby was a bower among the faithful.
Then it leaked out that while the Bishops
and the clergy and the faculty of the uni
versity were "whooping up" the stock,
and hunting for purchasers at $40 a share,
the willy Colonel was secretly supplying
the brethren with shares from his own
sack at S.. At one time it was said that
Bixby worked off on the Methodist Church
over 40, 900 shares Of stock at from SO to
SIS a share. Of course the stock was not
worth ten cents, the mine never paid a
dollar, and a five-stamp mill erected by
the faculty of the university, we believe,
stands idle to this day as monument to
Methodist cupidity and folly. We hope
the Middlebury College of Vermont will
have better luck with their generous en-
dowment.

Text for TODera,

An e%x-liquor dealer, in an interview
with a reporter of the New York Times,
said: elm most of the gin sold there will
be found oil of %vitriol, oil of turpentine,
oil of almonds, sulphuric ether, and ex-
tract of grains of paradise. 1t is in the
manufacture of whisky, however, that the
adulterators do their finest work. You can
purchase oils and essence from which
"whisky of any age can be produced.
This style of whisky when tested will show
sulphuric acid ,caustic potassa, benzine, and
u vomica and other poisons. This is
the sort of stuff that bores into the coat
ings of the stomach and creates ulcers.
Pure whisky, in my opinion, will hurt no
one when taken in reasonable quantities,
but this adulterated stuff is murderous.
In Porter you will find opium, henbane,
capsicum, cocculus indicus, copperas, to-
bacco and sulphuric acid. In beer, alum,
opium, nux vomica, green copperas, %yitriol,
sub.carbonate of potash and jalap are
used"

Burdette OH Halls,

Robert ]. Burdette, the Burlington
Hawkeye jester, who has been going up
and down this helpless country lecturins
for six years past, has been giving his
opinion Of the public halls. One of the
best, he says, is fremont Temple in Bos-
ton. Association Hall, in New York, he
found easy to speak in, but ''the best hall
for lyceum purposes in all America" he
says, is the Academy of Music in Philadel-
phia. "You can't make an echo in that
building when it is empty, with a bass
drum. The worst and most expensive
hall l ever spoke in is the Courthouse in
Carlinville, Macoupin County, Ill. If you
hit a bass drum once in the building you
can hear it for ten years"

Concert and Ball Tonight.

1t must not be forgotten that our neigh
bors on Ruby Hill have prepared for the
public this evening q fine concert, to be
followed by a dance to first-rate music.
The occasion is the benefit of Richard Kis-
sell, an unfortunate miner who has been
bedridden for many months and has been
reduced to de~stitution. The object is a
most worthy one, and charity could not be
better bestowed. But you are not asked
for anything for which you will not get
your money back. The concert will surely
be fine. There is good musical talent on
the Hill, and they will be sure to entertain
their audience. Then the privileges of the
dance afterwards, and all for 81.

Quarantine was invented in Venice in
the year 1927, all merchants and others
from the Levant of Eastern ports being
obliged to remain in the house of st. Laza-
rus or the Lazaretto forty days before
iouss southern states copied the example
of Venice; the habit was soon spread into
every European country, and was intro
duced by the Venetians into Syria and
Egypt. At GAIA or Beyrout the guardian
who formerly with a long pole, freely ex-
ercised, kept one denizen Of the Lazar-
etto from communication with another,
was a Venetian, while the sick were attend
ed by an idiot of a medico Mailing from
some part of Italy, who looked at them from
a safe distance through assaf@tida smoke.

AT / { o'clock Sunday afternoon the pris-
oners at the Nevada State Prison were
treated with a concert, says the Carson
Bee, which was gotten up by Rev. W. @.
Gray, pastor of the Methodist Church in
this city. The participants were mostly
from the NJ. E. Sunday School, and were,
with a few invited friends, driven to the
Prison in a stage, which was hired by Mr..
Gray. The principal part of the concert
was a select reading by Mrs. Fl. H. Howe,
and declamations by Miss Blanche Ather-
ton and little Stella Latta. The prisoners
were well pleased with the concert, and no
doubt will long remember the generous
act Of the Methodist pastor.

Welding. Steel.

A Belgian engineer is said to have inven-
ted a process by which he can weld steel
at a red heat. He keeps an essential por-
ton of his method a secret. 1t seems,
however, that he carefully polishes the
surface to be united, smears them over
with some kind Of liquid, raises the tenn
perature of the metal to redness, and thea
joins the pieces. After severe tests bars
welded in this way were in no instance
broken at the point Of juncture.

Detected by a water Lily.

An Atlanta woman eloped from her hus'
band. No trace was obtained Of her for
two months, although detectives were sent
in all directions. 1t happened that the
wife had been cultivating a water lily, and
when she left she carried it with her. A

Atlanta saw a water lily in the window.
When he entered the house he was not

absent from Atlanta. While her husband
was searching elsewhere for her, she re-
NAMED quiet under his very eyes.
