NEVADA AT NEW ORLEANS.
Interview With Nevada's Commits
sioner, Col. q. c. Thomas.
fvirginis Chronicle.l


| A Chronicle reporter had short inter
view with Col. c.. c.. Thomas, Nevada
Commissioner, who returned recent,
from the New Orleans Exposition. H,
deputized W. NJ. Havenor to look afte
the Nevada exhibit during the day, anG
Mr.. Charles Turrill, agent of the South
ern Pacific Railroad, to take charge Of il
at night. He also appointed several po'
licemen to assist them in guarding the
exhibit. California, Colorado, Arizona
and New Mexico all have fine mineral
exhibits, but Nevada far exceeds them
in value, variety and compactness.
The genealogical, agriculture and hor-
ticultural exhibit of California is splen-
did.
The Smithsonian and United States
Museum have about two.thirds Of their
exhibits in place, and they will form a
grand feature Of the Exposition, which is
said to far exceed that held at Louisville.
The various States are well represented.
The Mexican Government is taking
great interest in the success of the Expo
sition, and have appropriated $3.50, 900
for their department and are constructing
a large iron building to be exclusively
devoted to their exhibits. They have
company of picked soldiers and band of
seventy pieces on the ground. Cincin-
natl, Ohio, also sends large band, but
the Colonel says it is conceded by all
parties that the Mexican band is by far
superior, and that he never heard music
until he listened to that of the Mexican
band.
Colonel Thomas took sample of cot.
ton with him, raised in Lincoln county,
Nevada, which attracted great deal of
attention among planters, who pro.
nounced it equal if not superior to that
raised in the South.
Nevada takes the palm for large pota.
toes and fine apples, and the Colonel says
that as she produces everything else he
brought young alligator out with him,
and thinks that by placing him in the
hot water at the Sutro Tunnel, he will
thrive as other Southern products.
The gator has now been several days
without eating anything, but they will
live month without food. This gator
has over three weeks to 60 on.

SCIENTIFIC.

Experiments with the electric light in
forcing plant growth, are Disappointing
The interesting fact has been demon.
strated by Arthur Searle, that the Milky
Way is about two magntudes brighter
than the mean brightness of the sky, and
a square degree of the Milky Way must
give between five and six times as much
light as an average square degree of the
rest of the sky.
The Importance of the public laboratory
in Paris is now so well appreciated that
it requires staff of forty persons to test
the samples of food, liquors, ETC., for
audulterations or impurities, while SIM
liar institutions have been established in
other French cities, under the central ad-
ministration of Paris.
From recent researches it appears that
chlorophyl, the remarkable substance to
which the vegeteble world owes the color
OF its foliage, is made up of two coloring
matters, green and a yellow; the rela.
tive proportions being one hundred of
the former to one of the latter. Both
have been lately attained in the crystal
line state
An interesting experiment to ascertain
the effect of artificial heat on vegetation
has been made by Barthelemy. He ar.
ranged number of hyacinths in glasses
in circle around the pipe Of stove, and
after some time he found that the roots
assumed nearly horizontal position, OF
a direction at almost right angles to the
pipe.
The migration of birds in North Amer.
lea is to be studied systematically by
nearly 1000 persons, who have engaged
to act as observers, according to plan
proposed by the Ornithologsts' Union.
About 300 of these persons are the keep.
ers of lighthouses and lightships in the
| United States and Canada, and the other
British possessions on this Continent.
English physicians have adopted a new
course in treating consumptives. In
stead of sending such patients to mild
moist climates, like the south of France
where the effects are palliative but no
remedial, they have come to the conclu
sion that dryness Of the atmosphere i
the grand requisite, and Switzerland i
now selected as the sanitarium, and,
is said, with surprising results. Il Bosto

The Grants were undoubtedly badly
swindled by Ferdinand Ward, but it does
not raise them very greatly in public
opinion that they were so easily duped.
In an interview with Ulysses Grant, Jr.,
he said, "Mr. Ward was very particular
with regard to my financial relations with
the firm. If had $1,000 or $40, 600 to
my credit he would ask me where l got
it and then borrow it from me-"

A WISE BIRD. In barn belonging to
AL. Nichols, in Sierra Valley, Cal, lives
a big, snowy owl, magnificent specimen
of the family. One day last week Nichols
happened to go out into the barn, and in

stock Of grub laid up by his owlship. 1t
consisted Of eighty big mice, several
large rats, chipmuncks, etc., without
number. When owls lay in such an i'm.

A Washington special to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, referring to the efforts
of Representative Cassidy, in passing the
bill appropriating 100000 to erect a
postoffice and other public buildings in
Carson City, says it will be remembered
tina. Cassidy was on the floor when the
last session expired. Consequently when
the same order Of business came up on
Monday he was first to be recognized.
He got his bill through with scarcely any
opposition, substituting for the House
bill the Senate bill which passed the last
session. All that it needs now is that it
shall be signed by the President. The
Secretary of the Treasury will then have
the site selected, and plans for the build
ing prepared. Mr., Cassidy thinks the
building can be occupied and completed
in less than two years. This is the first
public building bill that has passed the
House this session. Speaking of the re-
port that he was to be appointed Director
Of the Mint, he said he was in no sense
candidate, but that if he was made Direc-
tor of the Mint he would accept it,
though he thought it was too early to
talk about such matters.

CONKLING AND CHOATE.

Lawyer Choate, who is good deal of
a wag in quiet way, wants no better
fun than chance to bait ex-senator
Conkling in court, writes New York
correspondent. He often gets the chance,
too, for he and Conkling frequently ap-
pear in the same case, though on oppo.
site sides, of course. He knows by ex.
perience how easy it is to "rile" the ex.
Senator, especially if he suspects he is
being triAed with, and seems to take a
sort of malicious delight in rufaing him
whenever he can. In the Huntington
case, just closed, he had several oppor.
tunities for this sort of play, and he did
not miss turning them to account.
Everybody expects a "circus" when
Choate and Conkling encounter each
other in court room, and the perform.
ance that ensues is generally as well en-.
joyed by the Judges as by the lawyers
and miscellaneous spectators. The ex.
Senator usually gives as good as he gets,
but in a manner wholly different from
Choate. He is either caustically polite
or positively angry, while Choate is al.
ways buoyant and somewhat genial, and
it can always be seen that he means to
have some fun. Both are masters of sar.
casm, but while Conkling is sharp and
naughty, Choat is pungent and droll,
and he gets most of the laughter-as the
comedian always does in the play. Conk.
ling often encounters Choate's partner,
the wordy and willy Evarts, and good
deal of Intellectual sparring takes plac,
on these occasions, too. But it is wher
Choate has the case that the exercise j,
really lively, and other lawyers who ar,
not busy just then drop in to see it
They might go to pretty good play ant
not be as well pleased. And the happ,
clients pay for the whole of it, of course

Mr.. Buckner, chairman of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency, is
reported to have received information
that both France and Germany are about
to negotiate with the United States to
secure an international understanding on
the silver question, without reference to
Great Britain. There is reason to believe
that such negotiations would have been
entered into year or two ago if the
American administration had been
heartily in favor of the double standard
But New York, which is as deeply in
terested as England in the increase to
the purchasing power of money, which
would result from the establishment of
the single gold standard, has dictated the
policy Of the Arthur administration.

Southern Arizona might well be termed
the " Land of Big Discoveries" During
the past four years reports sent forth
from that country Of the discovery of
lodges hundreds of feet in width and from
ten to thirty miles in length, the ore be-
ing covered with either horn silver or
free gold, though not common, have been
frequent. In a week or so the reports
of these discoveries of fabulous mineral
wealth die out and nothing more is
heard of them. The latest big discovery
is at Quijotoa Hill The dispatch sent
out heralding the news of the discovery,
will be swallowed by the miners with
due allowance. The ledge is said to be
from 100 to $50 feet in height, and exists
for distance of thirty miles. 1t is Of
bastard quartz, extremely rich in horn
and malleable silver. A few months age
it was offered for $1,000 but found nc
purchaser. To-day its value can hardly
be computed.
