Improved Apparatus For Ex-
amining Ores.

An apparatus for examining rocks,
TO determine whether they contain me
talllc ores, has been patented by Messrs.
John X. Williamson, of Seattle. Wash.
ington Ty., and William w. Hickies.
OF Oakland, California. One pole OF n
battery Is connected with one terminal
Of u telephone receiver by means of a
wire In the usual way, the remaining
pole Of the battery being connected BY
a conductor with brush provided
with a suitable handle. while the re-
naming terminal Of the telephone re.
ceiver Is connected by conductor with
a similar brush having a like handle.
In examining rocks In place, the two
brushes forming the terminals Of the
conductors connected with the tele-
phone and battery are drawn along the
face OF the rock, while the telephone is
held to the ear of the operator. IL the
rocks contain metals they conduct the
current. aud the movement OF the
brushes along the rough face OF the
rock causes variations therein. which
are audible through the telephone
there being no sounds produced when
the rock contains no minerals. In ex'
amining detached portions OF rock, The
latter are placed upon conducting
plate connected with the telephone
through the battery, and the brush al
the other terminal is touched to the
rock. which, IL IL contains metal or me
talhc ores, will cause sounds to b,
heard In the telephone. Instead OF
using the conducting plate. the frag
ments of rock may be examined by be
ing placed upon Insulating material

Armenian Women.

II would appear that nowhere is the
patriarchal system carried to a greater
extent than among the Armenians.
During the lifetime of the father, all
the SONS and their descendants live to
Rether In one common dwelling; and
thus houses may be found which. from
the number Of their inhabitants, re-
semble bee-hives, often comprising
three or four generations. All the pro-
perty is held in common by the descend
ants of the head Of the house. Brothers
and sisters inherit equally, but until
the death Of the head no one can
possess anything separate from all 9th.

Fort Worth Aug. 6.-About mid.
night several gentlemen who were
coming along East Third street were
astonished to see a man clad very
scantly and carrying some extra attire
in his hand speeding along toward the
Santa Fe trestle, painting turiously as
if he had run some distance. Not
far behind him came the form of a
woman, carrying something IN her
hand that looked, one of the men says.
very much like pistol. The woman
was vowing vengeance and seemed to
be in a towering passion. The Off

MRS. Langtry NoS tho rsss..

Evidence continues to pour in showing
that whoever made the statement that
Mrs. Langtry was the first alien woman to
become a citizen of this country was quite
far from the facts. Judge Thomas
Moran, of Chicago, the associate judge
of the appellate court, says that his
mother, native of Ireland and subject
of Great Britain, took out papers and be-
came naturalized citizen of New York
state as far back as 1886 or 1887. He
says that prior to the adoption of the re-
vised statutes, about 1880, an alien could
not inherit or hold title to land in New
York. o''My mother" he said, ''came
here as a child, and her father acquired
property in New York. 1t was probably
to enable her to retain her right and title
on this that she became naturalized.
Very likely many other ladies in SINH
lar position in the original states and
colonies did the very same thing; so
imagine the occurrence is much less rare
than the papers think. Until the legisla-
lures of the different states changed the
law it had to be done. New York Sun.
