may easily be, because Mr.. Earle Sa-
lambo is the son of an electrician and
chemist, and it is quite possible he has
discovered something in chemistry
which takes the place of sulphur and
alum for that purpose. But it is gaso-

in spite of the fact of a very vigorous
denial on the part of his sister.

closes his mouth the fire is quenched in
the blazing ball, and all there is about
that is the disagreeable taste OF the
oakum ball and little warmth, which
may not be pleasant but can be borne
for fifty dollars week.
There is a companion performer to-
the "Human Lamp" known sometimes
as Natural Cas-" or the "Human Gas
Well" He gets more money than the
man who drinks water for oil, and de-
serves too. What he does is precisely
the basis of all the work done by the
Salambos.
Instead of eating cotton and pitch and
wax when heated he coats his mouth
with his own private solution and unseen
stoops down and picks up a round
worsted ball saturated with gasoline.
Now gasoline is very volatile, and when
mixed with air forms vapor that is
easily ignited and gives very fierce
ami blue flame. A gasoline ball held in
the mouth and blown steadily through;
the vapor goes through the gas tube and
is ignited, and that's all there is to the
"Human Gas Well"
The SalamDOS, VINO 90 so many won
derful things in this line, are trick
sters, just like the rest of the profession,
but they are entitled to credit because
they have combined in their act all the
Improvements known, and taken advan-
tage of electricity, and withal made
very effective and picturesque and en-
tertaining exhibition. The way they
produce sparks from each other and ig-
mite the gas flame is as simple as A B c.
Behind the scenes there is battery,
and to Miss Ollie's body is attached
very thin silk-woven wire, and to her
brothers similar wire. It's easy
enough to understand then that with
considerable current on when they
touch each other spark is generated,
and whether they place flower, piece
of see, metal point or silk handker.
chief, or the tip Of your finger or any
thing, in fact, which is conductor of
electricity, the spark is bound to come.
And naturally if the gasoline vapor is
in its vicinity it ignites. They coat
their mouths with the solution the same
as the rest do, but claim they do not use

KrxGaAx, Jan. 18th, 1891.

| KISGAAS, Jan. 18th, 1891.
EDroRs MINER The former editor OF
the MINER, in an article in the issue Of
January Sd, made the statement that the
expenses Of running the county Of Mohaye
for the year 1890, was $4,000, without
stating what this amount was expended
for, giving the impression to outsiders
that the affairs OF our county we're wee
fully mismanaged. Now the fact 10 that
the real expenses was about $4,000, or
about the same as the previous year.
The sum OF IS 10000 was appropriated
for the purpose Of building courthouse
] and sinking well, and Of shissurn 81 600
yet remains in the warrant book, draw
ing no interest and TO be used when nee
essary, although entered up in the ex-
pence Of the year. The completion Of
the courthouse and well will represent a
saving TO the county Of ~ ,4S0 in water
and rent. On petitions Of nearly every
taxpayer in the county, the sum Of 81 900
was allowed W. G. Blakely, who was
elected to the Office OF County Judge in
1856. The petitions called for the sum
OF 5000, but the Board compromised
the matter for the sum OF one thousand
dollars as stated. Again, the toll road
over the mountain, west of Beal Springs,
WAS made free, and the sum Of 81 ,75O had
TO be paid Rf;hard Taggart for bis i'm
provement on same. This was also done
on petition Of the taxpayers Of the county.
The past wear being an election year run
the expenses up about three thousand
dollars more than in an off year. Adding
together these items of courthouse and
well 5000, toll road $3.50, election ex-
pences So coo, and back salary Of County
Judge 81 900, We have the sum Of sl4,050I
W hich must not be added TO the ordinary
running expense OF the county. During
the last two years Of the existence Of the
salary bill the actual running expenses
was s3S, 900 per year, while that Of 1889
was only little over s14 900, reduction
Of $4,000 over that Of the previous year,
an ex cellent commendation Of the man
agenent OF county affairs by the Board of
Supervisors. Very Respectfully,
DANIEL SMITH.
