MINING JOU RNAL.
saturday Morning, May 80, 1885.

CUMBERLAND became excited one
day last week over the appearance
in the Potomac of a Northern Diver
COLUMBUS graciaHs)-a bird large as
an ordinary turkey. The sara@s of
the water department were so much
imbued with desire to capture it
that the craftsmanship of the &C.
casion was more than usually inef-
fective, the bird occupying a position
slantindicular to the line between
the gunners and the place where tbs
bullets struck. We have unreliable
authority for stating fowl with the
same sirname was seen here some
DAYS before the firing began in Cum
berland. One Of our own ornithol-
ogists put it down as a mugwump;
another as segwap; another as a
hogwip another as snagpap; and
still another as migfunk-all
aquatic except the first named. The
JOURNALS opinion, which Is always
conclusive, and the result confirms
our view, classes it among the feath-
cred semi-amphiblous inspectors OF
the Holly system.

The members of the English Luther

for their pastor and his wife on the
fifth anniversary of their wedding, but
owing to the usual Wednesday even

an opinion to the Secretary of the
Treasury on the question whether the
head-money tax of fifty cents levied
by the act Of August 3, 1882, entitled
an act to regulate immigration, is de-
mandable for passengers coming into
our ports not as emiprants, but tran
silently as tourists. He holds to the
opinion that the word passengers used
in the act should have its ordinary
sense of comprehending all itinerant
persons not citizens Of the United
States coming to our ports in steam
or sail vessels.

GENERAL ITEMS.

In the June number of the Popu-
lar Science Monthly the English
scientist, Mr.. W. Mattieu Willoms,
gives the results of his experiments tO
determine the dietetic value ofmalted
food. The practical conclusion he
reaches is that matted wheat, matted
oats or corn, after grinding and sift-
ing, may de mixed with ordinary flour
or meal and heated slowly up to one
hundred and forty degrees,the NIX
ture proving most valuable food for
both strong people and invalids. 1t
is we'll known that by mailing gram
its diastase is made to act upon its
insoIuhle starch, converting it into
soluble dextrlne, thus relieving the
digestive organs of work which is
Indispensable to the completion of the
digestive process. The addition of a
little malt -four or malt extract to our
common vegetable foods would there
fore make them 60 much further in
supporting life and maintaining bod
lily vlgor. Mr.. Williams experiments
will help to solve one of the grayest
problems of human life by adding to
the worlds food supply many veg
etable substances, which without the
chemical treatment he proposes would
be unfit for food. Mr.. Williams de-
clines to patent his Inventions and
has taken steps to prevent would-be
patentees from interfering with their
free use in the improvement and
cheapening of our food supplies,
STEAM ON TRAMwAYs.-Italy is
testlngan experiment which, it is sur
prising, has not been tried in this
country. In and near the large cities
steam is used OH ordinary street roads
to convey freight as well as pas
sengers. OF course, they are light,
slight and cheap affairs, but do good
service in the absence of regular rail-
roads. There are nearly 1900 miles
of such steam tramways in Italy.
They are operated mainly in the
suburbs Of cities. Should electricity
finally be used for moving cars, I'M
doubtedly numbers of these kinds of
roads would de built IN the United
States. Their effect would be to dis
tribute population over wider areas,
and thus help to prevent overcrowd-
ing in centers of popula tion.-Dem-
