MINERS DYED GREEN.

The Territorial Enterprise, a Ne
vada paper says A queer phenome-
non is connected with the working
of the Martin white ore. The ore is
very base, and it is necessary to
roast the whole oft. During the
roasting process no deleterious or
disagreeable fumes are observable,
yet the hair and the boards of all
the men engaged about the works
are soon died a bright and rerman-
ent green. Even the eyebrows of
the workmen are as green as grass.
In scores of Nevada mines ores of
various kinds are smelted and roas-
ted, but at none of them is either
the hair or boards of the work
men charged from their natural hue.
1t is said there is less arsenic in the
ore of the Martin white than in that
of many other mines. Old smelters
say arsenic has no such effect on
the hair, and all declare that the
emerald hue impaired to the hair is
due to the presence of some I'M
known and mysterious metal or
mineral. White, light and sandy
boards and hair take a grass green.
The hair is not injured by its change
of color. 1t retains its original soft
ness and strength.

According to a Chicago wagon
maker, white oak requires eighty

from thirty to fifty years, white sh

more years, and red or Norway pine

Long ago wise men learned to
weigh their words, but an Italian
scientist has invented machine for
weighing ones thoughts. He can
tell whether afriend is reading Ital-
ian or Greek, the greater effort OF
latter affecting the flow of blood to

The fact that the satellites Of
Mars were not discovered until 1877
is considered very remarkable by
Mons. E. Dubois. He suggests that
they may have not long held tn cir
present places, but that they may be
bodies drawn-only recently-from
the zone of little plaenets being be-
tween Mars and Jupiter.

watched for with 80 much terror, occurred
shortly before two O'Clock this morning Tho
tank vomited its flames and contents and huge
islands Of burning oil, some OF them hundred
feet in diameter, foated down the creek.
Boofns proved useless. and the fierce mass Of
fire swept on, burning several dwellings, and
the Western, New York and Pennsylvania
railroad bridge, two miles below, and large
barrel factory The loss is estimated at $780,
900. There was very little sleep in the city last
night, as it was feared the town would be de-
str1yed. Al night mothers with babes in
their arms young girls with shawls thrown
over their heads; frightened children and
grave men, silently watched the onward march
Of The flames. Little was said, but much was
feared.
