a xew Electric Appliance.


in the equipment of an expedition
recently sent out to the Mozambique
coast by the Portuguese government
to search for coal beds ard other
mineral deposits, there are some
curious and novel instruments for ex-
amining geological strata far below
the earth's surface. The apparatus
is an electric appliance which was de-
vised By Mr.. NJ. G. Trouvs, of France,
and it is designed for use in connec-
ton with the boring tool. The ap-
paratus consists of powerful incan-
descent lamp inclosed in cylinder,
one of the hemi-cylindrical surfaces
Of which is reflector, the other side
being made of thick glass through
which the luminous rays may pass
and light up the strata penetrated by
the bore hole. At the base of the in
strumsnt is an elliptical mirror, while
the top IS open, SO as to enable an
observer armed with suitable glasses
and stationed at the top of the oor-
ing to see the reflected image of the
stratum Illuminated BY the lamp.
This apparatus has been used with
excellent results boring down to 600
feet, and with more powerful lamp
it could be used at still greater depths.

Chas. A. Dana, editor of the New
York Sun, while visiting in Atlanta,
Georgia, recently, unloaded bis views
as follows in regard to the free coin
age of silver:
ave have almost reached free
coinage already. The coinage OF
100000 ounces of SILVER month al
most amounts to that. The effects of
free coinage will be to give US sill
yer currency. We are now on gold
basis, and gold is the standard. The
substitution of silver currency will
raise the value of gold to small
premium 1t was SO in France few
years ago. 1t was mere trife-onIy
one-Gf,h of per cent, l believe
but it was there. We are now on
that road and we have got to travel
it. This will make gold worth a
small premium over silver, and when
American importers buy goods abroad
they will have to pay the price, not
in silver, but in gold That is, they
will pay premium which will be that
much added to the import duties.
Free coinage, with our mint open to
the world, would increase this pre-
MUM. a better way would be TO
have free coinage of American silver
only. Otherwise all the old teapots
of the world will be brought here to
be turned into dollars"

HARRY LAKE came down from the
Washington mine last Tuesday. He
says workmen are now cutting out
the station on the SCOTT level, which
will be completed in day or two,
and then work will begin on the
sump. The silver vein still continues
good and the end OF the chute has
not been reached. The silver ore on
this, the 200-ft level, is the best ever
discovered in the mine. Twelve tons,
assorted, taken out since the chute
was struck on this level, is high grade.
The company, 1t is said, will add
machinery to the mill this summer
for working silver ore.

THE ELECTRIC SPARK.
The Marvel OF the WorId-A Mys-
terry at the Start, IL is one To-day.
Mining AID Scientific Press.

A---Ak @AA 1~-NAA.-@ Z Aess-
The electric spark has kindled a
FIRE Of enterprise which burns with a
most steady and increasing force. 1t
was a mystery at Its start and it con-
times a mystery to-day. 1t was first
discovered by our Franklin, as it
sprang from its lair in the clouds.
The studies and suggestions of that
great philosot her soon taught men
how to cause it 10 curb its violent
course and to run peaceably along
an artificial highway to its quiet
home in the earth.
The possibility of capturing and
tanning this hitherto violent agent
soon suggested itself to inquirlng
minds, and we next find it disciplined,
directed and controlled, and made
perfectly subservient TO the will Of
men-a peaceful and quiet laborer in
the fields OF industry.
Until 10 or Is years ago the only
use made Of it was in feeble currents
running along slender wire simply
carrying the thoughts of its captors
by telegraph or telephone.
Since then what change has ia
ken place! At the bidding of science
this wonderful and mysterious agent,
so terrible in nature, so tame and
obedient to its new-found master, is
now as completely under control as
is the ponderous steam hammer which
will SIMPLY crack a nut or weld into
shape the heaviest mass of iron which
is employed to propel the most pow
erful ocean steamer Even in its
most powerful manifestation of pow
er il can be localized or at will sent
quietly along Tiny rod OF metal to
exert Its tremendous power miles
away wherever it is directed. It's
light is employed to illumine "my
ladys boudoir" with the mildest rays
which should fall upon the face OF
beauty, or burn with the most vivid
brightness from our hesdlsnds aud
capes to warn the storm tossed mari
ner of dangerous coast.
1t annihilatss both time and space
or stands a quiet sentinel at the street
corner. Every morning It brings to
the "autocrat OF the breskfas-tsble'
the news of the world as collected
aud condensed by hundreds of busy
minds in every part of the globe. In
its speedy work it spans continents
and trsyerses ocean depths as hougt
they were bereft of space and con
tinuity. Its home is in the heaven.
and upon the earth. 1t comes ant
goes at our bidding with the mighty
force OF the elements or like the gen
tie tanning of zephyr. Its workshop
is the universe Its entity is as un
known as the secret of the Sphinx
The story Of its installment as an in
dustrisl force is one Of the romance
