Made to Float
Get an ordinary tumbIer filled 70 the
brin wish water and on il pace a sheet
OF p2pe. SO that the surface Of the water
mag be completely covered. Now place
one hand On the paper and with the
other invert the glass. Then remove
your hand from the paper and the va
ter will not fall out, owing 20 the up
ward pressure of the atmosphere.
Again, take a piece OF thick brown
paper about q foot sqUare and hca; il al
the fire. When hot place it on the ;a-
BILE and rub il with Z clo:hes brush for
about half a minute. Then hold the
brown paper over some small light bod
ies-li;tle pieces Of blott!ng paper will
do-and the light bodies wall Jump
about in n most exc!ted manner.
l. she brown paper be held over some
bcdy's head, several hairs will immedi-
ately stand on their ends, greatly 20 the
amusement OF the spectators.
Another even more striking expert
menS and not so generally known. is
performed as follows: Get any piece Of
wood, o too thick. about a foot long,
and lay 1t on the table in such q position
that half OF it projects oye- the edge Of
the table. Place a broad book on that
part OF it which is on tho table. Strike
the projecting part Of the wood sharply
with 4 strong stick or a poker. and tho
piece OF wood will smash in two. You
should strike very sharply and without
hesitation ,r the experiment may fail,
and your book and WOOD be hurled to
the other side OF the room.
Ono moro experiment IS, perhaps, n
little harder to perform than the pre-
ceding, but ! have seen several persons
succeed with ease. Get ! glass OF water
and . needle and try to make the needle
float. All that is required is q little
skill. In the same 4 ordinary nibs
can be iioated in water. II you have a
magnet-a penny one will do-and rub
it on the needle before the latter Is
placed in the water, It will point like n
compass to the magnetic pole when
floating, no matter what way il may
point when first placed in the liquid.

of the situation at the Bay with the
following summary:
The city is cut oil from rail com
m~unication north, east and south.
No trains are running on The South
Pacific Coast road. The three lines
To Sacramento, via Bonita, Martinez
and Niles, are closei. No trains are
running from Vallejo TO Calistosa and
Santa Rosa. On the Northern Di-
vision VI the Southern Poetic trains
are only running as far south as Men
10 Park. The Placerville and lone
branches are closed. The road from
Davisville 10 Tehama is wrecked.
The Oregon line is open from Sacra-
mento to Red Bluff. On the San
Francisco and North Pacific road no
trains are running beyond Heads
burg. From to-day until further no.
tire the Southern Pacific Company
will carry on its business by running
two boats between here and Sacra-
mento, which will give San Francisco
connection with Los Angeles and
New Orleans, and with tne Eastern
cities over the Atlantic and Pacific

FUTURE.

Notwithstanding the severe Winter
and consequent heavy losses sustained
by stockm.n, the outlook for the fd-
ture is more promising than it would
have been had the Winter been u dry,
open one, for another dry season fo,-
lowing the past two would have been
a death blow to every industry in the
State. The Silver State takes a hope
full view OF the situation as follows:
"The unusual amount of moisture
precipitated during the past two
months will doubtless stimulate our
placer mining 20 perhaps a greater
degree OF activity than has heretofore
been known. the stock ranges will
be bs!ter supplied with feed and
water than during many previous
years
Nevada, although seemingly less
favored by nature thar many other
States, has passed through three con
secutive years OF drought and mining
depression unprecedented in her his
toy, and yet her people haven't lost
their business standing, homes nor

Dakota Tin Mines.

We have expected it over since tin
mines were discovered in Dakota. Tin
has always been on the free list on the
ground that there was none OF it in
this country. The American owners
OF the Dakota tin mines have now
formally fled their claim for protec-
ton. We say the American owners
advisedly for these mines have been
sold in England and whilc the owner
ship is nominally in American COM
panies it is really in English capital
lists. The object of the duty will he
to raise the price of block tin and we
have no doubt that this object will be
attained, so that the immediate re-
suit of the discovery OF a new metal
in this country will be that it will
cost us more than it did when we had
to bring il from the other side of the
world. We are Of course informed
that the Dakota tin miners get g 80
