The Question About the County Funds
Settled.-The movement to change the county
deposits, which was started last week, seems to
have excited great deal of interest throughout
the county and when the County Commission
ers met on Tuesday last number Of promi-
nent citizens were present to enter their protest
against it. 1t was proposed to make the Tow
son National Bank the sole depository of the
county's funds. taking the line from the
Manufacturers National Bank of Baltimore.
County Treasurer Yellott went before the
Board on Tuesday to answer a question pro-
pounded by Commissioner Smith as to wheth-
er he was satisfied with the present arrange
ment until the conclusion of the investigation
of the books in his office. Mr.. Yellott said !:
"As matters now stand regarding the deposits
of money collected by me, l feel sufficiently
protected against all future losses, and the pass
ing of the order now before the Board will not
make me more secure than / now am"
Mr.. Smith then moved that tie resolution
lay over until the investigation is concluded.
To this Messrs. Todd and Magruder readily as
sented. and thus the matter ended. 1t is said
that this is final disposition Of the subject.
Mr.. Todd, the author of the resolution, said
that the action taken practically disposes

luton, he said, was the protection of the Coun-
tV Treasurer.

The Montezuma well, near Camp Verde, hich has been the wonder of all visitors to it for years, and 1t has been visited by thousands, has been located as water right, by A. L. Me Kesson, The well is depression in the earth, covering quite large area, with an easy slope from tho surround ing mesa to q depth of about eigh' y feet, 10 the water line. Soundings of the water have been made, it is said, to q depth of $50 feet without finding any bottom. A short distance below this natural wonder is forty acres of as fine tillable lana as can be found anywhere. The ground has natural slope from Che top of the well to this land, and it was found that the land was only about ten feet higher than the water line in the well. \ large volume of water flows from she well through . creyicc ip the rocks, and Mr. McKesson soon conceived the idea of obstructing this outlet ny dam, and by thus raising the water in the well expects to be able 10 gel it on the land for irrigating pur- poses. He went to york with this in view, and succeeded in building a dam that raised tue water eight feet, and encouraged by his success he will con- tinuc lie dam up to height of sixteen feet, at which point, owing to the slope Of the natural walls, it will make quite t respectable lake of water In addi- ton to using the water for irrigation. he tlIpal proposes to stock the bottom less l4so oitb fish, and 10 put pleas ure boat on i for the accommodation of sightseers, thus increasing it's inter est as natural curiosity.

A cave has been discovered between Normandy and Tullahoma, Tonn.. be- lieved to be larger than the Mammoth cave in Kentucky. A landslide exposed an entrance. A correspondent of the Globe-Democrat says an exploring par " walked in what seemed 10 be direct line all night, but found no end. There was small creek running through the cave from northeast to southwest. The walls were very high and seemed to be smooth, except here and there stalac- tites hung from the roof to the floor, The distance travelled could not have been short of twenty miles. Retraeing their steps they arrived at the mouth al 4 o'clock in the afternoon. They say there seemed to be no end to the cave. In some places the passage is hundreds of feet wide. As the mouth of this cave lies at the foot of what is known as the table lands or barrens, if is be lieyed it extends under the whole table land.

If this thing of inYenting new fire arms don't stop, it will soon be dan gerous business to go to var. The whole German army has been re-armed with new and deadly rife warrdnted to kill at 5000 yards, with neatness and dispatch. The French army will be better fitted for killing purposes. however, than tbe German, if the Gif- fard gun is what Is claimed fer fl.

Moreover, the Gquefi6d gas does not evaporiZe instantaneously, but ey- pands gradually, so that the projectile acquires its greatest velocity only at the moment of leaving the mouth of the weapon.

The manufacture of the liquor has been carried on for hundreds of years and all over Arizona can be found re-
 mains of huge pits in which this plant was cooked prior to the iuice being extracted. The crude methods of ex- tracting the juice and distillirg if have given way ill most parts of Sonora to modern facilities for is manufacture.

 and costly. At Nogales, Sonora is q distillery on large scale, which is do- ing large business and covers half acre of ground. A visit to this place n short time since furnished food for re- fiection on one branch of the industry which will be revelation to most Ari- zolians It is, that Cochise county fur nishes the bulb or plant from which the juice is extracted The mescal plant grows to perfection in the slope along the Whetstone mountains and is gath. cred and shipped on the N, M.

Tkc Manufacture Of AIu,sisun,.
The Pittsburgh Reduction Compan,

The Pittsburgh Reduction Company, ! the only manufacturer of aluminium for commercial purposes in the United States, is, according to the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, preparing plans for the erection of an immense new plant. It is proposed to erect plant with 10, 600 horse power, and to give employment to large additional force of men.
 Since the company began working under its process it has increased its capacity skiold. These works have a capacity of between 300 and 400 pounds of aluminium day, but are now infde- quate to supply the demand The price has been reduced to $2 pound. At present the Pittsburgh company i'm ports ,frop Germany the clay from which the metal is extracted. It is the intention, however, to make use of the raw material to be obtained in this country when the new works are con structed. Pittsburgh hug supplied alum mum for the ornamental work, former ly made of nickel, in the cabins of the latest ocean steamers, and it has been adapted to the manufacture of table cutlery with success. The general use of the metal has only come into prom thence since the visit of the Pan Amer ican deputation to Pittsburgh, on which occasion q special exhibit was made.
 There are but six aluminium plants in the world, one in Pittsburgh and five in Europe. One of the latter, located near Manchester, England, began ops erations last month under the Pitts burgh eompany's patents. IL has a capacity of about one ton of metal per week, and Pittsburgh and Allegheny City capitalists own half interest in it. Negotiations are now in progress to sell the rights ir four European countries The consumption of the metal abroad has now reached such proportions as to justify the establishment of extensive works, and this will be done as soon as negotiations now pending in Pittsburgh are concluded.

Electric Currents Amperes and v.I,s.

In speaking of the electric current it should be borne in mind that its dan gerous qualities, it's power to give shocks more or less severe, come not from the quantity which may be delivered, but from the intensity; not from the volume, but from the force at which it IS driven. An electric current has the dual quality of volume and intensity which enters into it's pow CT of doing work, or rather goes to make up its electro-motive force. For convenience, electricians measure the volume of the current by ''amperes and its intensity by volts" In se- curing certain amount of electro mo- tive force both factors ore therefore considered, and the preponderance of the one over the other determines the strength or dangerous quality of the current If, for instance, current of l 1,000 amperes and two volts is gener- atod an electro-motive force of 2,000 is produced The same result is reached by using current of 300 amperes and four volts or one of one ampere and 2, 000 volts. but in the latter case the current is one of great intensity and little volume, while in the first named it Is one of great volume but little in- tensity. It is the current of great intensity and small volume which is generally used in arc lighting, and of small intensity and great volume which is used in incandescent lighting and in electric street railway work It is the high powered current which is danger ous to huran life and the low powered one which can be taken with little fear of serious injury - Financial and Min ing Record.

Irrigation Methods In Colorado.
(Youth's Companion. !

The State of Colorado supplies m example of the methods and laws which are likely to be generally employed in governing irrigation. In that State there are more than 5000 miles of irri- gating canals and ditehes, which repre- sent investments of over Sl2. .000, GOO of private capital, and water 3 000, 900 acres of land.
 All streams of water in that State are public property. Responsible canal companies may take water from the streams, and supply t 10 farmers at fixed water rates, subject to the power of State Water Commissioner to lower the rates if they are found exorbitant. The customary charge in Colorado is $l.50 to $2.50 per acre per annuln.
 The water companies use of the streams, and their methods of supply to purchasers, are rigidly regulated by State authority, the State being divided into water divisions" and these into districts, which are under the charge of superintendents of irrigation and water commissioners.
 There is also in operation in Cobra do Il system by means of which the  farmers buy perpetual rights" to the use of the water by paying larger sum per acre, and in this way acquire all the rights of the corporation. The canal is then owned and operated by the farmers themselves as a stock com pnny. The farmers thus become inde- pendent of the State, and operate tue water right to shit themselyes.
