The First Iron Ship.

The first iron ship has more reputed
birthplaces than Homer. Both the Clyde
and the Mersey claim pre-eminence in
this respect. Sir E. J. Robson, of Edin-
brrsh, designed an iron vessel in 1916,
which was not launched till three years
later: and it is said that an iron boat
was worked on the Severn even as far
back as 1877. Steel was not used in the

NOTES ABOUT WEATHER vANEs.
Carved Wooden E4nc< Went Out with
iisureheads in Ships.

Carved Wooden E4ncs Went Out with
iisurehead= in ships.
When the PhPnician sailor stuck a
needle through the stem Of feather and
held It out in the wind. be invente the
first weather vane, or feather vane. He
was nearly eq1aled By the Indian bOv,
who was taught to mOiaten his finger in
! his mouth and to hold that finger aloft
i'll the air. When that finger grew cold
on a certain side the Indian child knew
that the wind came from that particular
direction. The Phpnicians. however.
were probably the first of all civilized
peoples to PIT the vane Of feather into
practical use.
Since those early days weather vanes
have been used in every form and by all
races. Modern vanes in their present
shapes were first made Of wood by
travelling carvers and later Of copper
by tinkers and smiths. They We're used
on poles, churches, public buildings,
ships and were placed on rocky points Of
land along the seashore. They are now
made in every conceivable design and
pattern. Horses, COWS, deer, eagles,
ships. roo5ter5 and even pigs are ham
mered out in copper and used to register
the direction Of the wind
The newer vanes have rain cups at
tached for catching water during Il
storm. The amount of water that fails
is measured by the square inch in tube
under the vanc. Wind gauges also are
attached. These indicate the speed Of
the wind. The gauges are small cups
hung sideways to the vane. The wind
blows them around in a circle and the
revolutions are registered by electricity
Nearly all the large weather, vanes in
town are connected with dials in the
buildings below
The dial is round, like the face Of a
clock, lettered like a compass, and re-
vOlving hand shows the action of the
wind on the vane overhead. Vanes are
no longer set in sockets, as it is nearly
impossible to keep them properly oiled
They are hung loosely, like a cap on a
pivot, and the hollow stem of the vane
hangs over the head of the pivot, cover
ing it from rain and rust
One Of the largest vanes ever seen in
New York was placed on the postoffice
about fifteen years ago 1t was SO large
that it was considered unsafe and was
taken down. A good drawing of it is
still in existence. The arrow, scroll and
banneret seem to be the fayorite shapes
in yanes at present. The fence jumping
horse and the plow are yet found on the
grounds where country fairs are held, |
out they are not in great demand. The
tobacco leaf vane is found largely in the
south and i'll Connecticut. The spread
eagle and running deer are wind signs
in the western states, the deer more par !
ticularly in Canada. Malt barrels in
copper are placed on breweries through !
out the country.-New York Recorder.

Eaualiration Is 10 be desired. We have
no prejudice against any law on method
that will reach this end. The great mAss
Of taxpayers were opposed to the present
innovation, because the Central Pseihc
Railroad was chiefly instrumental IN Sc
curing its enactment BY the Legislature.
Then the state Board muddlsd things
from the start and rendered the law still
more obnoxious II IL not unfair to say
that the Board in the beginning went on
9 guessing tour and raised everybody ex-
eept the railroads. Some Of its errors
were in part corrected before the close Of
its lAbors. We have been disposed to

THE THREE GREATEST PREvAR.
ICATORS.

Colonel Thomas P. Ochiltree Of Texas
is in England at work in the interest Of
the Worlds Fair to be held at Chicago.
II is to be hoped for the sake OF the Fair
that the Colonel's reputation as q relator
Of fairy tales has not preceded him.
New Orleans Delta.
Tom Ochiltree was elected TO Congress
from Texas in 1882 as 3 Republican, not.
withstanding he had been a fre-eating
Confederate. A Republican Of any type
or style from Texas was a curiosity, and
Tom soon gained considerable notoriety
in Washington and New York. His
strongest hold to prominence. however,
was his glowing genius for prevarication.
Bat il may be said that his fAbIications
we're generally as harmless as they were
colossal. Since going out Of Congress he
has lived mainly by tickling the weak
nessss and fancies Of rich men-not ex-
actly by toadying, but by q species of
self-assurance and audaoious geniAlity.
John w. Maokay, the Bonanza King.
has long been one Of his most liberal pa.
irons. 1t ia related that he once gave
Mackay q big dinner at Delmonico's and
then borrowed fifteen hundred dollars
from him to pay for it. But the above
paragraph from the Delta recalls to our
mind another good story. with 8 local
bearing. that was once current among
the public men at Washington. General
Pleasanton. the great cavalry officer Of
the Union army during the war. was at
that time living at the Capitol. Of which
city, by the way. he is . native son, and
making an effort to have Congress place
him on the retired list. This naturally
brought him in contact with Senators
and Representatives. and with members
Of the committees of both houses to which
his bill had been referred. Quite natu-
rally also the General met with many
delays and disappointmepts. 1t was af-
ter one Of these postponements or set
backs that he approached q friend in the
lobby of Wizards Hotel, and with an
air Of deep disgust said: do you know
the THREE greatest liars in the United
States Of America ?" His friend gave up
the connundrum. We'll" said the Gen.
eral. ~ will tell you. Thomas P. Oehil-
tree, Of Texas, is one." and then after .
reflective pause, added, John P. Jones,
Of Nevada, is the OTHER Two."

moRE RAILROAD TALK.

There is renewed talk of . railroad west
from Salt Lake through Nevada to the
Coast. One OF the very latest rumors 10
that the bonds have been placed In the

we confess to having grown skeptical on

has q special dispatch from Danver which
furnishes the following concerning ano-
Their proposed road still further south
than any of the lines hitherto projected:
"W. II. Workman. of Los Angeles, and
]. s. Mills, of Pasadena CAL. were in
consultation with D. c. Dodge. Of the
Rio Grande Western. looking to an ar
ranaement for the continuation Of the
Rio Grande Western to Marysvale, Utah.
there to meet . line from Los Angeles to
form . through line to the Coast. The
California gentlemen left tor Salt Lake
this evening"
And more important than ell Of these
things, we take it, is the united move Of
the merchants and business men Of San
Francisco in favor of . competing line to
that city from the East. Such 9 line
can hardly skip Nevada. All Of this agi.
tation will probably bring results in time,
but how soon no man knoweth. Let rs
hope that it will come within the life Of
the present generation.

NEVADA AND THE WORLDS


Is Nevada 10 be represented at the
Worlds FART This is . question that
should strike home 10 the pride Of every
man living in the State. II we fail to
exhibit our capabilities. we viii be The
only State in the American Union 10 go
without . proper showing Of our resour-
ees. Such . failure would bring humil-
iation 10 our citizens and disgrace to the
State. The last Legislature refused to
appropriate $4,000 for the purposes Of
an exhibit. Nevada lie rich in both min.
ersl and agricultural resources. Nevads-
raised wheat took the premium 1t the
Worlds exposition held at New Orleans.
Our fruits. especially apples. are the fin
est grown on the sentiment. In the rich.
ness and variety Of our minerals we excel
the whole civilized world. That the
opportunity should be lost to make these
shings known 10 the great concourse Of
people that ls certain TO visit the Colum-
bisn Exposition at Chicago, would fall
little short Of . calamity 10 the State.
And besides there is . patriotic side to
the question. This grea. exposition 10
gotten up not alone 10 display the mar
velous and progress OF the Uni.
ted States. but also to commemorate the
discovery Of America and the attendant
blessings resulting from the planting and
raising up Of q mighty free government
in the New World.
The Reno Journal, after an interview
between its editor, Mr.. Kelly, and the
Hon. George Russell, one Of Nevada's
Worlds Fair Commissioners. who has
recently returned from Chicago, submits
the following timely suggestions, to which
the SENTINEL gives q most cordial en-
dorsement:
"As there are several millionaires who
claim to be citizens Of Nevada, ct least
for political purposes, there ought to be
no difficulty in raising the required
amount. Senator Jones, John W. Mac
kay, ex-senator Fair and Francis G.
Newlands will doubtless contribute So
900 each for so patriotic q purpose, and
others whose wealth cannot be estimated
with less than six figures ought to sub
scribe ten or twenty thousand more.
IAN exhibit Of the agricultural and
products of Nevada, at an expo
sitiUn which will be attended by millions
of people, may attract attention to the
esources Of the State and result in di-
recting capital in this direction. At any
rate ii is worth q trial, and as our rich
men will not miss the money required
from their congested bank accounts, the
Commissioners should present the matter
to them for consideration. II the mill.
i~onaires fail TO respond, let 9 popular
subscription be opened in every town and
county and see what the people will do.
A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which
has produced many millionsires, cannot
afford to be unrepreseuted at an exposi.
ton to celebrate the q~uartenary anniver.
sary Of the discovery Of America"

THE FALL

len States, as follows, will hold cleo
tions one week from next Tuesday: Mas.
sachusetts will elect a Governor, other
State officers and a Legislature. Ohio
will elect q Governor, other State officers
and a Legislature, and will vote upon .
proposed amendment to the constitution
providing for the uniformity Of taxation.
Iowa will elect q Governor and Legisla.
ture. New York will elect q Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Secretary Of State,
Controller. Treasurer, Attorney General.
Engineer and Surveyor, Senate and As
sembly, ten Justices Of the Supreme
Court and q representative to Congress
from the Fourth District. New Jersey
will elect part Of the Senate and Assem-
bly,. Pennsylvania will elect a Treasu-
rer and Auditor General, and decide
whether 9 constitutional convention
shall be held and elect delegates to the
same. Nebraska will elect an Associate
Justice to the Supreme Court, and two
Regents to the State University. vir.
giniA will elect one-hAlf the Senate and
House of Delegates. Mississippi will
elect three Railroad Commissioners and
a Legislature. Maryland will elect .
Governor and other State officers and .
Legislature. and will vote upon six pro-
posed amendments to the constitution Of
the State.
The greatest interest centsrs in the
elections in New York, Ohio, Iowa and
Massachusetts,. In these States in par.
tioular the canvass is being made on ma
tional lines and as they 90 this Fall so
they are likely to 60 in the Presidential
election next year. The hardest strug.
gle il seems is being made in Ohio. That
State is 9 sort Of "last ditch" with the
Republicans. To lose there now, together
with New York, would about settle the
Presidential race a year in advance. And
it must be q decisive victory with an old
time majority to be Of national benefit.
A small majority of only $4,000 or $4,000
would be almost IS disastrous as q Dem.
ocratic sweep. In like manner the DEM
ocrats cannot afford to lose New York by
8 signal majority and leave much hope Of
success in the Presidential battle. In
most Of the States the issues are substan.
TALLY the same, the Democrats standing
for a modification Of the tariff and the
free coinage Of silver, while the Repub-
licans adhere to the Mckinley bill and
the bullion purchase commodity law. In
no State have the Republicans failed to
denounce free coinage. In New York
and Massachusetts the Democrats did not
resolve for free coinage. but they did de-
nounce the bullion commodity act and
claim to be for bimetallism on some pro-
per basis. The worst that can be said
against the Democrats in those States is
that they "~straddled" the question.
while the Republicans in both OF them
cAme out squarely against US. A world
Of interest has been developed in the re
suit of these November elections, because
the will Of the people is to be re-
corded as affecting the most vital ques-
lions before the nation. One week from
next Tuesday promises to be . memoir.
