Louis Globe Democrat with sketches Of
noted people resident on the Pacific
coast, says Of Senator Jones: The
unluckiest man on the Pacific slope,
in point of wealth, is Senator Jones,
of Nevada. There has perhaps never
been so vast a fortune so quickly
scattered as that of Jones'. In spite
of popular belief, Senator Jones to-
day is poor, comparatively speaking.
When he was elected to the Senate in
1878 he was worth at least 100000.
To-day he is not worth $4,000 above
his debts, and his congressional salary
is no longer despised as a source of in
come. 1t would be hard to tell wNhre
Jones fortune has gone, or more cor
rectly speaking, hard to tell where It
hasn't gone. No man ever sunk so
much money in chimerical schemes,
invested so much in bogus friendships.
or became so easy prey to financial
sharks as Jones. lie sunk $4,000
600 hard money in mines
in Pauamint, California, which
never yielded a dollar. He sunk
another million in the Sumner mine in
Southern California. He built rail-
road in Southern California twelve
miles long, and it cost enough to have
had every tie of mahogany and every
rail of silver. The Central Pacific
afterward bought it for about $1,000
mile. He bought every ranch ever
offered him-indeed, he bought one in
Nevada which has never been located
to this day. Jones agents could never
lind 1T. He started an ice factory in
New Orleans. He never saw the fac
tory, and never but once or twice the
man who got him into it. He opened
the st. James hotel in New York, and
of course it never paid. The last
cruel wipe that fate had in store for
Jones was the "Sierra Nevada DEAL"
as Californians call it, of four years
ago. On mere prospect the stock
was jumped from So share to $275.
Jones got in at aoout 5000, on the
drop. The stock is selling now for
less than S. share. The Bank of
Nevada is believed to be CARRYING
Jones stock for him yet.

Washington In 1s4s.

EX-Congressman Wentworth, of
Chicago, in some interesting reminis-
cences of life in Washington forty
years ago, says: Washington was, in
1913, the greatest slave mart in the
United States. Within sight of the
capitol, not far from the lower gate,
and near, if not upon, the land where
the public garden now is, was build
ing with a large yard around it, in
closed with a high fence. Thither
slaves were brought from all the slave
holding region, like cattle to the
Chicago stock yards, and locked up
until sold. There were regular auction
days for those not disposed of at
private sale. The Chicago fire de-
stroyed hard cracker which l had
preserved as a specimen by which pur-
chasers tested the age of slaves And
to this day, if there is anything
that the average Southern negro
does not know, it is his own age
The slaves were placed upon block
and when question rose as to age,
the auctioneer requested them to bite
from cracker, which all slave auc-
tioneers keep for such occasions. The
theory was that while q slave could
masticate well he could work. Nearly
all the labor of Washington was per-
formed by slaves many of whom were
hired from the neighboring States.
The slaves were expected to collect
their. wages monthly, and take them
-lhtpe; on some Saturday night. One
lloFnfng 1 missed my boots, and when
.TWent for the bootblack, he was MISS
ing also. After a few days 1 saw a
procession of captured slaves, who had
sought their liberty in a Potomac
schooner, chained two-and-two, con-
Quoted toward the slave-pen; and there
L noticed my bootblack trudging
along in my boots. had made a sue.
cessful canvass for Congress in those
boots, but they failed the slave in his
canvass for freedom. He was sold for
the Southern market, as was custom
airy with captured fugitives, and my
boots went with him. But whether
they were worn out by him upon
some sugar, rice or cotton plantation,
or by his new master, it was useless
for me to inquire.

Pollution Of the Air.

Arecent writer in Nature called at
tention to the pollution of the air by
the burning Of coal, and calculated
that in the year 1900 all animal life
would cease on the globe, from Che
amount of carbonic dioxide thus pro-
duced. But another correspondent
points out that most of this gas is
washed out of the air by rain. Thefe
were, however, some products of COM
bustion, or rather of incomplete COM
bustion, as hydrogen and the hydro
carbons, which are not removed by the
rain. OF these unbuIned gases it is
estimated that 100,000,000 tons have
escaped into the air during the last
thirty years. What will be the result
of this accumulation According to
Professor Tyndalrs researches, hydro
gen, marsh gas and ethylene have the
property in a very high degree of alb
sorbing and radiating heat, and so
much so that very small proportion.
of only say one-thousandth part. had
very great effect. From this we may
Conclude that the increasing pollution
'of the atmosphere will have laaEked
influence on the climate of the .iW0rId.
The mountainous regions will be
colder, the Arctic regions will be
colder, the tropics will be warmer, and
throughout the world the nights will
be colder and the days warmer. In
the temperate zone winter win be

Many strange stories are told of how
cats and dogs, taken long distance
from home, have found their way
back. This one is all the more singu-
lar because the little dog found a place
to which he had never been at ali. A
man living in Maine village got
ready to move to another village some
thirty miles away. The household
goods and the family, together with
all the pets except one little dog, were
transported by water to the new place
of residence. The little dog was for
gotten, and to everybody's surprise
made his way to his masters new
home the very next day. AS the dog
could not follow the trail of the boat
the wonder is by what means he made
the journey.

Among the various uses to which
lectricity may be put there is one
very practical nature, which prom
ises to effect great saving of prop
rty and life. 1t consists of an ar
rangement for the immediate stoppage
of a steam engine by merely pressing
a button similar to those by which
electric bells or fire alarms are sounded.
This button may be placed at any dis
tancc fronl the engine upon which it
acts; and Mr.. Tate, the inventor, pro-
poses that "a number of such buttons
should be dispersed throughout the
factory or elsewhere where the appa-
ratus is in use. In factories accidents
occur almost daily through the impos-
sibility of stopping machinery on the

Found Floating ON the Flood Tide in Ell
Litde Bed Toward the Great Father
or Waters, winds Up at
West Point.

(Couricr-Journail
The news OF rather singular incident OF
the flood reached the city last night from
| West Point, a little town on the river-bank
| n number of miles below Louisville. The
| front OF the place, like nearly everything
else, was badly flooded and considerable
destruction done, number OF houses being
swept away and several families left home
| less.
| Just above the town the river makes
short bend, and the current runs very
swift. During the whole time OF the flood
boats were plying around in the water In
front Of the town, catching any floating
valuable that might come into view. Seve-
! raj houses were swept by, probably coming
! from this city, but as they appeared TO be
empty no attention was paid to them.
This morning, otter the fearful deluge oc-
Cured sat the Cutoff, a man named John
Glazer was rowing around in light boat
picking up what had floated from the
homes OF the unfortunates, when his atten-
ton was attracted to strengthening OBJ
ject bobbiug up and down on the waves
some distance out, and having the appear
ance OF miniature house. Impelled more
by sense OF curiosity than anything else
he rowed across TO head the object of, and
TO his astonishsnent discovered that 1t WIS
an oid-fsshioned baby. cradle setting upright
in the water. A few vigorous strokes OF
the oar drew him alongside OF the floater,
and, catching 1t by the edge, he pulled 1t
In toward she boat. Great as his surprise
had been, IL was doubly so when his eyes
fell upon the form OF an infant, apparently
several weeks old, cuddled up among the
blankets, from which it pecped out with
ewes dilated by establishment and fear. The
little stranger was carefully lifted from his
uncertain bed and placed in the skif, the
cradle which had sheltered 1t being for
gotten in thc excitement, and left to pur-
sue its lonely journey toward the Father OF
Waters.
The child was comfortably dressed in
swaddiing clothes, having a long flannel
gown wrapped about his little shape. 1t
had evidently been born of "poor but re-
spectacle" parents, but as to who they
were or where they lived not the slightest
clue could be found. The baby was taken
home 10y Mr.. Glazer and comfortably pro-
vided for, where 1t will be kept till its pa-
rents claim it.
The supposition is that the little stranger
flOatcd down from this city, its home being
swept away by the breaking of the dam at
the Cutoff. IL will be remembered that q
cradle containing an infant was seen to
float past Clay street early in the evening OF
the day following, and although efforts
were made to capture it they proved fruit
less. Meanwhile the little Moses will re-
main a his Dew-found home until the pro-
per owners claim him.
