Mhr Called a "Jnck knife. .,

Only the other day a Scottish acquain- ;ance was enhghtening me upon this very subject of the Jack knife" My trouserless lrienu went on to tell that for centures past, in Scotland, the artI- cie m question has been known as a "jock-to-leg," winch barbarism IS neither more nor less than a corruption of "Jac- ques de Leige," the name of Flemish cutler whose knives were once highly es- teemed m North Britain, and always bore their makers name. No doubt Jac0ues lie Leige sent cutlery to Eng land as well as to Scotland, and from Jacques knife to ''jack-knife is a very short step.

Every corpse that is taken to the Paris morGUe Is now quickly converted into a block almost as hard as stone. This re- sult Is obtained by Cares cEemIcal re- iricerator, which is capable of reducing 'he temperature of the conserS atory, where each body Is laid out on some thing closely resembling a camp bei- stead in stone, to r. degrees below zero centierade. Al the back of this room IS a TOW of stOye-lIke compartments m which the corpses are boxed up and frozen hard before being exposed to pubilc view. As an illustration Of the intense cold thus artifcially secured, a Paris journalist, in describing a recent visit to the mOrgue, says that in open iug one of the compartments the attend ant took the precauti1n to wear a glove lest "hIs hand should be burnt by con- tact with the cold iron" The corpse which WAS taken out of tLe receptacle had been there nine hours. The doctor who accompanied the visitor struck the dead man on the breast with a stick. and the sound was just as if he had struck a Stcne.-Scicntitic American.

WE think Colorado is fortunate in its railroad facilities, reaching into nearly every mining camp of prominence ID the State. So 1t is, but their narrow gauge railroad charges as much for hauling ore 170 miles as the Southern Pacific does for hauling from this city to San Francesca, distance of nearly one thousand miles. And yet some say that the Southern Pacific is strang- ling the industries of this Territory

 4 BILL has been introduced in Con- gress making the time during which it Is necessary to perform assessment work upon mining claims end when the final payment is made and the Receivers re- celpt k given instead of when the pat ent issued. This amendment is not in- tended to make any change but simply Co prevent ambiguity. The Courts have long since decided that the payment of the purchase money and the receivers final receipt passes the title from the Government to the purchaser. That the department holds that it is unnecessary to perform assessment work after mining claim has been paid for IS shown by the following letter from the commissioner:

PENSION FRAUDS.
How the GOVernment and Ex-SOIdiers
EsPinss AMinHIea.

WASHINGTON, November 5.-Judge Fer
ris, Second Auditor of the Treasury, in
his annual report, exposes the methods by
which soldiers in the late war and the
government are being swindled by un-
principled attorneys and agents. He says
not one in ten applicants for arrears of pay
and bounty possesses any merit, and not
one in twenty of all these claims is filed
upon the suggestion or by the voluntary
action of the claimant. The attorney seeks
his client, and represents to the unin-
formed more generally colored, soldiers
or their heirs that they have not been
paid all that is justly due them that some
new law, or new construction of the ex-
isting law, entities them to more bounty
or further pay. y small fee in advance is
required, generally - or So, sometimes
more, in fact, all that can be got, with the
promise that no more will be demanded
unless the claim be allowed. The fee is
allowed, the application filed, and
in the end rejected. The attorney
rarely looks after the claims; it
does not pay. lie has received his
little advance fee and it pays better to
hunt more victims. The soldiers are
swindled, and after their claims are re-
jected, frequently denounce the govern
ment and its officers, who simply admins
ter the law as they find it. Another class
of claims are constantly increasing
namely, claims for bounties already paid
In many of these cases denials of former
payments are made under oath, when the
records OF this office, authenticated in the
highest manner known to law and the
courts, show conclusively that the pay
ments were made years ago. To perjury
is sometimes added forgery the time since
the war increases the chances of success
| to periurers and forgers. Should thes,
records be destroyed, and such calamit!
is not beyond the pale OF possibility, th'
| government certainly will be defraudeC
| out of millions of dollars,
