The Mining pebrin Commission,

In accordance with the Act of Congress,
recently passed and approved, the Seere-
tary of War has detailed Major Benyaurd
Major HeEer and Maje- Hanbury as q
Commission 70 investigate the mining de-
bris question in this State. The first two
mentioned are now stationed at San Fran
cisco, and the latter is at Portland, Or. Az
these gentlemen are officers Of the engineer
corps of the United States Army. Major
Hanbury was formerly a resident of this
State, but has been for some years sta
toned at West Point.
From the nature of their profession,
these gentlemen are highly skilled en-
gineers. Those graduates of West Point
who show the highest efficiency ere usl-
ally destined for the engineer corps. The
Engineer Department of the army IS, as a
result, composed Oh officers of special at
tainments.
The appointment of this Commission is
most important step IN the conclusive set
tlement of the much discussed mining
debris controversy. We have now three
disinterested experts in engineering mat
tiers, who will study up the whole matter
and give the people an unbiased report.
Their positions are not dependent on po-
litical favor of any kind and they have
nothing to lose or gain one way or an
other.
We may therefore confidently expect an
intelligent report that will deal with the
subject from an engineering, and therefore
practical, point of view. Naturally the
principal feature of the Commission to
study viii be the navigability of the rivers
of the State, and how they are affected by
debris If the rivers can ha uavaS AL
land can. s,hen it will be their duty 70
point out the proper means TO be taken to
prevent further damage. If they think
the mines can be worked without detri-
ment 70 other Interests, they must show
how TO dispose of TIE debris. If they can
zee no way to accomplish this, they must
conclude that hydraulic mining must be
stopped forever. Bat Il 2 way out Of the |

Effect of Srrayinc.

Last year (says the El Dorado Repabli-
ca1) two of our horticulturists tried the
experiment of fruit-spraying with most
satisfactory result. L. NJ. Davis sprayed
500 or 900 Bartlett pear trees with a solu-
tion of one pound of Paris green in 16O
gallons of water. He found that this solu-
tion killed the pear slug and produced no
visible effect upon the fruit foliage, and
although he only sprayed the trees once,
he found it very beneficial to the fruit
Spraying with this solution costs about
three mills to the tree besides the labor
and expense for pump. Earl Norton and
his sister, Mrs. Delaney, sprayed last yea1
about 1000 pear and apple trees, using a
solution of Paris green-one pound to l0C
gallons of water. Although they only
sprayed the trees once, yet the results
were very satisfactory. An apple orchard
that was sprayed yielded $50 boxes, and
the year before, without spraying, only 2G
boxes

Tough Fruit Skius.

The skin of plums is wonderfully strong
compared with its thickness, and resists
the action of water and many solvents in a
remarkable manner. If not thoroughly
masticated before taken into the stomach
this skin is rarely, if ever, dissolved by the
gastric juice. In some cases pieces of il
| adhere to the coats of the stomach as wet
paper clings to bodies, causing more OF
less disturbance or inconvenience Raisins
and dried currantsare particularly trouble
some in this way, and if not chopped W
before cooking, should be thoroughly
chewed before swallowing. If dried cur.

Is it the friction of the air outside :?
Hardly, because after a five-minute stop,
fresh paper will stick just as effectually.
Is it due to the heat of the finger in ap-

Refrigeration vitbout To-

A refrigerator car, in which no ice is
used, was exhibited to invited guests in
Chicago, October Both. The refrigerating
substance was anhydrous ammonia, which,
IN Its rapid expansion from the liquid to
the gaseous condition, absorbs heat with
great rapidity. 1t is the active agent
used in making artificial ice, for cooling
large rooms in breweries. storage ware
houses, etc. As ordinarily conducted, the
process requires heavy and expensive ma
chinery, but in that used by the company
giving the exhibition above mentioned
the necessary compression of the am
monia is produced by the gas itself, and
almost no machinery is required. As ap-
piled TO refrigerator cars, six steel tanks,
holding about twenty gallons each, are
placed across one END of the car in a mar
row apartment which is separated by a
partition from the main part of the car.
The anhydrous ammonia in these tanks is
upder about sixty pounds pressure. This
pressure is sufficient to force it up through
supply pipes running under the car roof to
upright expansion pipes in each end of the
car. The expansion of the liquid
into the gaseous condition in the
large pipes absorbs heat with great ra-
pidlty, and the surface of these pipes is
covered in a few minutes with a thick
coating of frost crystals. As this frozen
vapor all comes from the air in the car the
air itself becomes comparatively dry, a
condition valuable in preserving meat, ETC.,
from decay. A thermostat with electric
connections keeps the temperature within
the limit Gt is claimed) of a two-degree
variation. If the apparatus in the car is
designed to maintain a temperature of $50,
rise to 80 will shut off the flow of am
monia, and fall to $50 will open the
valve and start it again. 1t is claimed
that in ordinary weather Il temperature Of
400 degrees can be maintained in Il re-
frlgerator car from Chicago to New York
with six tanks of ammonia, while in very
warm weather one or two more tanks may
be required. The ammonia, which after
expansion is absorbed by water in reser-
voir under the car to which it is con-
Quoted, is redistilled at small cost, and
used again indeinitely.-Raiiray Rerie,r.

Yesterday the case of the State VS..
Andrew Pucio, arrested for drawing a
deadly weapon on b. Paoletti, came up
for trial in Justice Jobs court. The de.
fendant demanded jury trial. and twenty
persons were subp9naed to serve as jurors.
At the last moment the prosecuting wit.

ant, and said through an interpreter that
he knew nothing about the matter. The
case was then dismissed, on motion of the
District Attorney, as there was no evi
dence against the accused.
