In the whole State Of Colorado there
are probably 5000 miners who are not
earning wages, wholly because they can
not get them, says the Denver Mining
Industry. Some of our mining friends
estimate the number at 5000. Our esti-
mate of 1000 less is conservative. These
idle men should be earning $l2, 500 a
day, $75, 1000 per week, or So, 900, 900 per
year. Their labor, too, should be adding
that much to the value of our product,
which is not produced now. The wealth
of the people should be increased this
much yearly, but is not, owing to these
idle miners. The butcher, baker, shoe.
maker, grocer, mechanic, and all the men
who rely upon the trade of these 5000
miners, are sufferers.

The straight Republican and Demo-

Did you ever carefully examine one
Of the so-called "glass spongesW The
most delicate and beautiful of these,
perhaps, is the "Vcnus Flower Bas-
kct," which is found only in the deep
sea near the PHILIPPINE Islands. 1t
looks for all the world like spun glass
woven into an intricate pattern, and is
SO delicate and exquisite that one can
hardly believe it 10 be nothing but the
skeleton of sponge This particular
species of sponge is composed of
bands Of spiculcs running lcngthwisc
from end to end, with cross bands
intcrsccting at right angles.
Before they are thoroughly skclc-
tonizcd the corners of tie squares
formed by the crossbands are filled
with brown jcllylikc substance,
which reduces the spaces to little tube
like holes. The edges of these little
holes project slightly above the gem
cral surface of the sponge and give it
the appearance of being dotted with
miniature volcanic cratcrs. The
ridges, instead of having their surface
made up of Il continuous CLASSY skele-
ton. have their soft substances sup
ported by whole muItitudcs Of deli
cate microscopic, siX-raycd spicules.
In some instances these fragile spi-
cules seem to be supported, or at least
held in place, by little hooked stars
and roscttes. In its natural state the
whole of the "Nenus Flower Basket
is covered with fine hairs, tho mouth
being kept closed by net of fine
glass like needles. Captain Simmons
men found the flower basket fastened
TO II rock by handle carefully at
tachcd to the basket in four different
places, and the divers of the Exile
brought up one specimen that rested
on the top Of a marble pedestal which
at some time had been lost in the har-
Dor at Nainja.-[St. Louis Republic.

The only two methods of tiger
hunting that are practical really here
arc "nct'in@,' and sitting up al! night
in tree by a "ktl' waiting for the
tiger to return for his food. Almost
all sportsmcn lave tried this latter,
and generally been disappointed, rs
was in another part of India, and
always solemnly vowed that each oc-
casOn should be their very last, only
to be found at it again OIL the very
next opportunity. Some really like
this solitary watching, but it has very
many drawbacks to its enjoyment.
Several Indian spOrtsmcn, who have
killed their forty for fifty tigers, have
told me they had been nearly always
unsuccessful with it.
1t is very wcarsomc work sitting
from about four O'clock in the after
noon until daybrcak next day, always
on the alert 10 sec something that
does not come; and with the darkness
mosquitoes come in quaint les, and
perhaps scorpion will ferret you
out, or, worse than all, you may be
visited by the red ant. 1t is very un-
certain when tiger will return to the
"kill." lie may do 70 as early as
three or four in the AFTERNOON, or just
before daybreak, or not at all, often
being frightened away, perhaps by
some unforeseen circumstance.
The slightest rustic will make him
stop, and once his suspicons are
aroused, he will not venture near. To
shoot him on foot by stalking is an
impossbiity. The sportsmcn will
occasionally come upon tiger when
after other game, and may then have
chance of shot. If there are n
few men who keep together, tiger,
even if wounded, will think twice be-
fore charging into the middle of them,
and will always shirk the last ten or
fifteen feet.
None but the most foolhardy or ut
tcrly ignorant would venture to follow
wounded ger into long grass or very
close cover, where il has every advau-
tagc, and the hunter may be seized
before he has time to raise his rifle.
One of the tigers greatest aids in his
attacks is his voice, the sudden cough
ing roar of which is parayziug to the
coolest, and of course for certain
shot the nerves must be perfectly
steady, with ''no flinching. g.'-[Har-

A training school system for hrG-
men is one of the interesting features
of the lirc-lightng department Of Chi
cagO.
New flremen are initiated and old
ones skilled in the dangers and neces-
stiles of their calling at the engine
houses where hook and ladder compa-
mics are stationed. AT these places
what is known as the "pompicr drip
is gone through, and here. too, the
various devicoS designed to insure the
safety of humtA life are tested. And
at these places, also, the nerve Of q
new man is given a thorough trial.
To the lay observer the pompier
drill is thrilling sight. 1t stirs one
to see 2O0-pouud man run up tho
wall of 4 four-story building by no
other means than skeleton ladder
twelve feet long-a device that ap.
pears to be unable to bear the weight
of an average youth. Yet this is done,
and done so quickly as TO take ones
breath away.
Attached to each engine house is a
thrce-story tower with window lodges
on the sides. The pompier ladder Is
curved at one end, and tho new fire.
man is taught how to rest this end Oh
the tirst-story ledge so that il will not
slip while he is climbing. After lie
has reached the first ledge he draws
up the ladder and hangs it from the
ledge above. Then he climbs again,
repeating the process until the roof is
reached. The ladder, having no safe
grasp on the ledge, is likely to slip I'M
less skilfully managed. The fire.
mans weight must hold the ladder
securely in place. A slight shifting
of the weight to one side would raise
one of the curved prongs resting OH
the ledge, and, this slipping, ladder
and fireman would fall. 1t was by an
accident Of this kind that fireman
lost his life a few days ago at the cn.
ginc-house Oh Pacific avenue.
The object of perfecting tiremen In
this drill is to make them skill full in
scaling buildings to the roof where
time isa valuable consideration. An
expert fireman can go TO The top of a
building long before a truck lader is
in place. -[Chicago Tribune.

Time No Object.

Probably the most accommodating
railway line in the world is the little
narrow-gaugc Bridgton and Saco
River Railroad. A Chicago couple
who took trip TO Brldgton recently
were much surprised at the moderate
pace made by the train, but their sur
prise was increased when the train
WAS brought to full stop and the en-
gincer, fireman, conductor and brake
man walked back along the track to
look at brindle COW that had been
unwise enough to cross just ahead of
the engine and was toppled over a
small ombankment. The shock was
not enough to kill her, and the train
men squandercd several minutes de-
batting whether it would be best TO
knock her in the head and end her
suilerings. But the animal got on her
feet without assistance and convinced
them that she was good for another
long lease of life. Finally the train
resumed its journey. The next day,
when the Chicago visitors were max
ing the return trip, as they approached
tie scene ef the mislap of the previ-
Gus day, one of them laughingly re-
marked: 81 wonder if they will stop
The train to make inquiries about that
old cow" Tho words were hardly
spoken when the brakes were applied
and the train stopped long enough for
the engineer to exchange greetings
with Il farmer in cornfield, who inn
parted the valuable information that
the COW was still alive and, aside from
u broken horn, didn't appear to be in
jurcd much. - Lewiston (Me.)
