THE Humane Society Of Pittsburg has its
hands full of business. In looking about for
something to reform one of the members made
the appalling discovery that it is the custom in
certain classes of society to pierce the ears of in
fants of the feminine persuasion. The mothers
do this for the ostensibe reason that it is bene-
fetal to the female infants eyes, but really it is
suspected, for the purpose of decorating them
with jewelry at a tender age. The humane socie-
ty, on being informed of this prevalent cruelty to
children resolved with one voice that it must
cease. The babies will of course have their
ears pierced when they grow to maturity, if
the Operation has not been performed in child
hood. but the society has nothing to Go with the
future The perforation hurts the helpless crea
lures now, and they must be protected against
the nhumanity of their mothers at all hazards.
AS yet the association has not decided on
method of circumventing the heartless women,
but by putting their minds to it a rescue of the
suffering nnocents will doubtless be effected

A REMARKABLE SPRING.
10 Rises and Falls with the Tide and
Abomnds with sea shells.

The Eureka Sentinel tells this: "A
friend tells US OF q curious warm spring
in Newark Valley, White Pine county.
1t pours out of the mountain and af-
fords about so inches of water. The
water is almost tepid when it first
reaches the surface. Along with the
rushing torrent OF water there is con-
tinuous flow of small sea shells OF all
hues and descriptions. The flow of
water is never affected by the seasons
the same as other springs in all parts OF
Nevada are known to be. Whether
the seasons be wet or dry there is no
change in this particular spring 1t is
Interchangeable Winter or Summer.
There is also another curious feature
about it. 1t rises and falls as regularly
as the ocean tide. These variations
average about four inches, and are as
regular as the sun itself. Can it be
that there is deep subterranean con-
nection between this spring and the
Pacific Ocean? 1t certainly behaves
that way, and those who have watched
it for years have come to the conclusion
that there is.

tention. | muss say that from what

pecially Humboldt county, | am forced
to believe he is more than half right.
But whose fault is it? Is there a dis
crepancy in the law, or is it the fault of
the officials whose duty it is to enforce
the law? That's the rub. There is cer-
tainly screw loose somewhere.
Again there seems to be something
just little loose in regard to the di-
vorce laws OF this State. For instance

and starts ostensibly on visit to her
mother; three days thereafter Deputy
Sheriff, pro tenn. serves summons on
the Aforesaid husband to attend District

10 make twenty ounces Of the best
gunpowder, mix fifteen ounces saltpeter,
three ounces powdered charcoal and
two ounces powdered sulphur. This
proportion is not always followed,
but it is standard mixture, and it is
the one used in the royal gunpowder
factory of England. Ali over the plains
of China and India saltpeter is found in
abundance. 1t is easy to suppose that
people made fires upon ground strongly
impregnated with saltpeter. Suppose
fire extinguished, leaving many small
pieces of charcoal and charred wood.
The tread of the passers.by or the
tramp of cattle could grind that salt
peter and that charcoal into crude,
rudimental gunpowder. Then imagine
another party making fire upon the
same spot. In this way probably oc-

The Chinese themselves say, and the
Imperial records at Picking attest, that
they have used gunpowder in fireworks,
for about two thousand years. To this
day, the chief materials used by the
maker OF fireworks are saltpeter, char
coal and sulphur mixed in many colnbi-
nations with filings of various metals,
chiefly iron. steel, copper. and zinc.
These filings have the same property of
instantaneous combustion as charcoal.
Iron filings produce brilliant red and
white sparks, which give such splendor
to wheels and rockets. copper filings
impart greenish tint, zinc fine blue
color. The combustion of amber affords
yellow flame, while lamp-black yields
an intense red.
