OLD, BUT NEW.
The Story or the Flood at Phe-
 nix Told by the Chrc cnicle.

To the eastern papers which arrived today we are indebted for the first news of the flood at Phenix and vicin- ity. The news was telegraphed to that enterprising newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle. and wired eas, and sent by mail around this way. This flood happened week ago to- morrow, and the heaviest rains occur red on Monday. Probably hy next week we will get additional news.
 The Chronicles special from Tenn pc, Arizona, says the Salt River valley has just been visited by the greatest flood on record Thursday morning early Salt river had risen seventeen feet above the ordinary level at apoint twenty eight miles above Phenix. At Tempe the railroad bridge was swept away. A little south of Phenix the river left the channel and overfiowed s number of farms, cutting out the tracks. Many farm houscs built of adobes crumbled away and others of frame fioated of to the northern edge of the flood, which was a mile wide and about three feet deep. The river entered the city of Phenix, flooding out many of the poorer families. The Territorial Insane Asylum had s mar row escape, the water being banked of. The electric works were fiooded and the town left in darkness. About 100 adobe houses fell in and large amount of personal property was lost. The water did not penetrate to the busi- ness part of the town, which is built on high land
 Measures for the relief of the needy have been taken. Churches and pub lie buildings have been thrown open to the sbelteriess and subscription has been started for their benefit, but many families a e still without prOtec- tiOn. The river began tn fall Friday and has nearly reached is normal point. Tine loss i- not less than Sl23, 000. of which one-third fell to the railroad company. About five miles of track was washed out and a bridge destroyed They will be at orce re placed. The first boat crossed the river to Tempe this morning. The telegraph wre is aOw being stretched across the river and will be working to morrow The damages 10 canals in the valley is no; great and they will be soon working again.

 rie-Li. .ht Plant.
 l.. 4. Dixon, of Sodus, N. Y., says a letter from Syracuse, has made the dis covery of a wonderful ore called ''elcu- tric rock" which contains hidden force that puzzles and astonishes ali who see it. and expert electricians in particular. l he rock is of dark slate color and somewhat lighter in weight than sand stone. It is composed of iron, alumi- nium, calcium and other minerals, and particles of gold are found sometimes. MT. Dixon says it will generate un- limited power and give any desired amount of incandescent light. :. For Illuminating business places and resi- dences it would be considerably cheaper than kerosene; in fact, after the build ing had been wired and the batteries prepared the cost would be merely nomi- nal. and the light would be equal, if not superior. to that produced by manu- factured electricity. The making of the battery is very simple. Tho rock, in any quantity that is desired, is placed in jars containing a solution the chief ingredients of which are salt and water. The circuit is then completed and the battery is ready for active business. The inventor claims that one charge of four hundred pounds of rock will last and proiacc liyh. and power for at least a year before losing its force, and that 1t is perfectly harmless, making insula- tion entirely unnecessary. In Mir. Dixon's oin;o nine-pound piece of rock has been ringing ben since last November. A piece weighing half pound was placed in a pint tumbler and wires attached to the cail-bell which it caused to ring aS loud as an alarm clock.

A thought flashed across his mind and he dived into the other pocket The roll was gone He had been to all that trouble to pick up his own money. -

COUNTING OUST.MOTES.
Science Can Now Number the Particles
 Floating In the Air.

Counting the dancing notes in bar of sunlight sounds like one of those hopeless, never-ending tasks with which the spiteful fairies delighted to break the spirits of little heroines in German folk stories Something more than this, however, has been achieved by modern science, which is now able to count the particles floating in any given portion of the atmosphere ard determine what proportion of these are dangerous germs and what are mere dust.
 Dr. Franklin's curious experiments have shown us how to count the micro organisms, and now John Aitken, of Falkirk, England, by totally different method lone wholly invented by him. self, has been able to enumerate the stock of the more harmless but hardly less interesting dust-motes. Thirty thousand such particles have been de- tected by him in the one-thousandth of a cubic inch of the air of room. In the outside atmosphere, in dry weather, the same measurement of air yielded 2,l19; whereas, after heavy rainfall, the number of such floating atoms was only 52l. That this power of pryirg into at mospheric secrets will eventually yield important results must be obvious to all Among the most curious discoveries al- ready made, is the direct relations be- tween dust particles and fog, mist ard rain.
 Cost of an ocean sreamer.
 More than 300 different industries enter into the building of every ocean steamship. To build ? 2,5O0-ton steam ship requires 600 men in direct and con stant employment, averaging $500 per man. The sum of S30,000 is thus dis tibuted to the trades. To run such a vessel costs about so. .0O0 outside of the salary list. which is over $40, 900. From the steward of an English steamer learned that the supplies for such a vessel in trip across the ocean and re- turn are about as follows: Twelve thousand five hundred pounds of fresh beef, 5.93O pounds of fresh mutton, so pounds of veal. 50 pounds of pork, 1000 poardS of fresh fish, 100 ducks, 50 geese, so turkeys, I5 tons of potatoes, % ham, pers of vegetables, 220 pints Of ice-cream, 1000 quarts of milk, 1l,500 eggs, canned goods. coaI and incsdensals.

JUDITH VALLEY LOCALS.

"And the green grass grew all around
This appropriately applies to the Judith
valley at the present time.
James Shelton returned last week from a
protracted stay in Utah and Nevada. Mrs.
Shelton and little girl will remain in Great
Falls indefinitely.
John Rooney, who recently came down
from the mountains, reports that a and
OF 10 or 90 head of elk wintsred on the
Middle Fork Of the Judith.
A good many people, here and there, have
gotten into their heads favorable notions
concerning the Flathead country. A good
many OF the same people will experience no
great difficulty in proving that their heads
are peaked on top.
Lee Paine is back from Iowa, where he
spent the winter. 1t is a fact pretty gener-
ally understood among the little birds that
Mr.. Paine will, upon some not far distant
day, lead to the hymenial altar one OF the
Judith's most estimable young ladies.
Breathitt Gray, ''mine host" OF Utica,
last week moved out Of the building SO long
used at that place as an hotel. He is now
occupying his own building on Main street,
next to Chas. lehman & Co.'s store, where
he will conduct his hestlery in the future.
The non-cOmmunicative badger and his
cousin, the small gray gopher, are once
more upon deck. After so long a hiberna-
ton the clipper little gopher fiirts his tail
in the gladstone sunlight as eoquettishly as
OF yore. The gopher is like the mortgage
on tine ;.rm-he has come to stay.
As regards amateur fddlers the Judith
valley thinks she can successfully challenge
the whole world. In point of number of
producers and the shockingly bad quality
of music produced we think she can safely
take her place at the head. In comparison
'.Fiddlsrs' Green" is Nowhere. Up to date
there is but one community known OF that
can lay us in the shade. and that is the
fddlers' department of hadss.
The ranch OF Jakey Hoover, on the South
Fork of the ] Judith, is one OF great resources.
Besides the culture OF the bay steer" Jake
takes great interest in his beaver dams,
where are quartsred about seventy-five
abls-bodied beaver. These Jakey guards
as the apple of his eye. At the end Of three
years the law protecting these animals will
ha We expired. and then Jakey expects to
clean up a handsome fortune. With the
price of pelts at SO he will certainly do it.
Dougal McGregor, the resident superin-
tendent of the Corwip & McGregor coal
mine on Sage creek, suffered a great shock
to his nervous system a couple of weeks
ago. In consequence of the shutting down
OF work in the mine fer several days the
mouth of the shaft was pretty well packed
in with snow. McGregor, finding it neces-
sary to get into the mine, cleared away the
snow. You can we'll imagine his great sur
prise to see five ~strapping steers come up
one by one from the depths below. They

the tail in grateful recognition. Dougal
was SO overcome that it was as long as
fifteen minutes before he could make his
way to his house TO get his dinner.
