The mineral exhibit at the World's
Fair promises to be Incomparsbly finer
than any ever before made, either in
this country or abroad. California and
Colorado each is striving to surpsss all
other states. and claims that it will sure
ly do so. Michigan, Montana and Mis-.
-souri, too. are making specially Of the
exhibition OF their remarkable rich and
varied mineral resources, and are not
without hope Of winning the highest
award Almost every state possesses
mineral resources Of especial merit in
one or more particulars, and will display
iss best. From all together q wonder
fully complete and valuable exhibit is a
certainty. Then, too, many foreign ma
tions, notably England, will make min-
sral exhibits OF the most complete de-
scription. Canada will occupy 1000
square fee. for its mineral display. Hail
of it is desired by Ontario province,
which intends to make an extensive ex-
hibit. including lead, copper, iron, gold,
graphite. mica, asbestos. phosphate oi
iime. gypsum, mari, petroleum, salt,
terra Gotta clay, nickel, silver, and many
Yari,ies Of marble, granite and other

k,nms Lev Grade sdvsr Ores in cuAt
County.

From J. w. Hamilton, the efficient
superintendent OF tho violA mine at
Pyramid, the Enterprise gets the follow
ing information in regard to the manner
In which the ore is handled The main
shaft is 800 feet in depth but the ore 10
being extracted from the 100 and 15J
foot levels. On the 100 foot level the ore
body has been opened for a vistance Of
100 feet and averages 10 feet in width.
On the $50 foot level drift has been
run so feet showing an ore body OF the
ssme size. In one par. Of the workings
there 10 an ore body to s feet In width
that will average l6 ounces in silver per
ION but the mass Of the ore averages on
ly nine ounces ia silver. The ore IL
worked in 20 stamp mill which has
been crushing 22 tons per day on the
average and the saving has been about
rs per cent. Of the assay value or about
ounces Of silver to the ton. The ca
pacity of the mill 10 being increased by
the addition OF new Blake crusher
which is being put 10 place. Four Frue
vanners are used to concentrate the
tailings, q concentrate being obtained
that rams about 100 ounces per ton which
is shipped to Pueblo. The water is sup
piled from well which is bored to
depth OF 500 feet but the water rises to
within 40 feet Of the surface. The COM
pany employs only cheap labor except
the foreman Of the mine and mill. They
keep company store where their en-
ployees are furnished with anything
they need and all the business is run on
the close corporation system. The mine
10 paying small margin over and above
all expenses and yet good rate OF in
terest on the money invested. II is
probably the lowest grade silver mine
being worked in the southwest, and to
say that il is paying speaks well for the
management. There are many such
properties in Grant county that with
proper management would pay hand
somely. The Enterprise know Of more
than one such property with an abund-
snce Of ore in sight that would pay well
with mill on the ground, having wood
and water at hand all that is needed
being the machinery TO work the ore on
the ground and save cost Of transporta-
tion. Silver City Enterprise.

How the Apostles Died.


From history and tradition we learn that
all the apostles, excepting John, died un-
natural and cruel deaths as follows:
Peter was crucifed in Rome, with his
head down, OF a cross similar to that used
in the execution of Jesus.
andrew was bound to cross, and left
to die from exhaustion.
james the Great was beheaded by order
of Herod at Jerusalem.
James the Less was thrown from high
pinnacle, then stoned, and finally killed
with fuller's club.
Philip was bound and hanged against
pillar.
Bartholomew was fayed to death by
command Of barbarous king.
Matthew was killed with a halberd.
Thomas was shot by shower of arrows
while at prayer, and afterwards run through
the body with lance.
Simon was crucifed after the manner of
Jesus.
Mark was dragged through the streets
of Alexandria until he expired.
Luke was hanged ON an olive tree in
Greece.
John died natural death.
Paul was beheaded by the command of
Nero.
Judas hanged himself and "fell and his
bowels gushed out. y
Barnahas was stoned to death by Jews.

Ancient Lighthouses.
Richmond, Va, Times.

The first lighthouse built ON this conti-
nent was at st. Augustine, Fla. Its chief
use was as a lookout, whence the Spanish
people of the town could see vessels ap-
preaching from Spain or get notice of the
coming of foes in time to run away. The
tower attracted the attention of Francis
Drake as he was sailing along the coast with
his feet of high-pooped ships on his way
home from pillaging the cities of the Span
ish Main. So he stopped long enough to
loot the town and destroy what he could
not take away. In 1880 the ancient struct-
ure of coquina rock, which the United
States had adopted for lighthouse, fell
down, but before that happened another
one had been constructed. Fire towers at
the entrance to ports were established in
the earliest historic times. Bonfres were
built on top of them at night. The most
famous lighthouse of antiquity stood on
the Isle of Pharos, off the city of Alexan-
dria, in Egypt 1t was one of the seven
wonders of the world, and was put up dur
ing the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus.
After standing for 1000 years it was de-
stroyed by an earthquake. 1t is under
stood to have been over 500 feet high.

Ideas from Nature.

Most of the skillful devices invented by
men for doing fine work rapidly can be
traced to nature, where for countless ages
they have been operating. The discoyerer
of each new appliance of mechanism might
be shown that his idea was old as the hills.
1t is suggested that the inventors of the
future will be those who carefully study
the natural world. The stones Of the hills
are another style of the molar teeth, which
grind all the grist that feed men and beasts.
The hoofs of horses are made of parallel
plates like carriage springs. The finest
file of human manufacture is rough affair
compared with the Dutch rush, used by
cabinet makers.
The jaws of the tortoise and turtle are
natural scissors. The squirrel carries chisels
in his mouth, and the hippopotamus is pro-
vided with adzes, which are constantly
sharpened as they are worn. The carpen-
ters plane is found in the jaws of the bee.
The woodpecker has powerful little trip
hammer. The diving bell initiates the
water spider, which constructs small cell
under the water, clasps bubble of air be-
tween its hind legs and dives down to its
submarine chamber with the bubble, dis
placing the water gradually, until its abode
with fishes constructs large, airy room
surrounded by water. In leaving its eggs
on the water the gnat fastens them into
into the shape of lifeboat, which it is i'm
possible to sink without tearing it to pieces.
The iron mast of a modern ship is strength
ened by deep ribs running along its interior.
A porcupines quill is strengthened by simi-
lar ribs. When engineers found that hol-
low pillars were stronger than solid ones
they only discovered principle that is
very commonly seen in nature. A wheat
straw, if solid, could not support its head
of grain. The bones of higher animals
are porous; those of birds, where lightness
and strength are most beautifully combined,
are hollow. The frame work of ship
resembles the skeleton of herring. Aer-
onauts try to copy the structure and move
ments of birds The ship worm is an ad
mirable tunneler, boring his way through
any submerged timber and lining the round
passage with hard casing. The engineer
Brunei took hint from this animal anC
was the first to succeed in tunneling undeI
water

Lifting an Elephant.

hafpeE = iohhB hSoPic'
London has been entertained lately by
feats Of strength that are certainly remark
able and probably unsurpassed in modern
times. First there was man named San
dow, who was an enormously powerful man;
he was succeeded by Sampson, and he in
turn by an Irish-American named Sullivan.
Curiously the three names begin with the
letter S, which is also the initial of
strength" and of the Greek word for
strength (sthenos). Sullivan, the latest
conner, is thirty years ofage, stands 3 feet,
81 inches in height, and weighs 16S pounds.
His appearance presents little that is un-
usual in the way Of muscular development,
and his biceps are neither very large nor
wonderfully rigid. 1t is in his neck and
jaw that his strength chiefly lies, and the
majority of his feats are such as to bring
this popularity into special prominence.
At an exhibition given in London, he
fastened chain to 56-pound weight, and
the other end being gripped between his
teeth, swung himself round and round
until the twirling chain assumed nearly
horizontal line. The feat was repeated
with the weight doubled, and as the per-
former, with both hands to his hips, and
using every sinew in his frame, swirled
round and round, the audience wondered
with anxiety what would happen if one of
the links should fly asunder. The most
remarkable feat, however, which Sullivan
performed, was the lifting of an elephant
by his teeth. 1t was "baby," It's true,
but it weighed about 1900 pounds, and
was lifted clear three inches from the
ground, its whole weight pendent from the
Jaw of the man above. Sullivan was not
successful in an attempt to break chain
with his arm, having injured this limb on
the previous night. He succeeded, how
ever, in proving that his prowess was not
entirely confined to feats with his teeth, by
lifting barrel of water, weighing $50
pounds, with the middle finger of his right
hand

HIDDEN THINGS.

BY MARGARET f. o'BRIEN.
There's land near the brink of the river of pain
The land ofthe might have BEEN"
And unto its gates comes the beggar and king,
Spotless women and sinful thing,
Hearts that bleed and lips that sing,
As they stand the joy-Stars wane.
There's rough bridge spanning the chasm of
doubt
The bridge of the past and gone,
And over the stones pass once in awhile,
Feet that know many weary mile
Hearts that are pure and hearts that are vile,
And the guide-lamp of hope burns out
There's page turned down in the books of years
The page of regretted things.
And over its lines, with sobbing sigh
Glance eyes that are wet and eyes that are dry,
And jealous hands hide it, they know not why,
For It's blotted and blistered with tears.
There's blaekened urn on broken shaft
Holding ashes of shattered gods,
And hearts that bitter and hearts that forget,
And mem'ries dead-dreams living yet,
And stray CLEANS from suns forever set.
Come and weep where of old they laughed.
There's court that is held in the temple of love
The court of the hidden pain;
And we that are meek, and we that are proud,
Drop our voice and whisper, lest speaking aloud,
Our tunes draw thither curious crowd
Judge us, Thou who art Ruler above.

History of a Phrase.

The phrase, "Robbing Peter to pay
Paul, is supposed to have originated in an
incident which occurred in London during
the sixteenth century. About the year
1910 the Abbey of st. Peter in Westmin-
ster was elevated to the dignity of a cathe-
dral, but ten years later was again Joined
to the diocese of London and its property
appropriated to pay the expenses of some
necessary repairs to the Cathedral of St.
Paul. 1t was evident that TO do honor to
st. Paul the estate of Peter had to suffer,
and hence the expression which has become
proverbial

Krupp gun works, Essen, Germany, weighs
100000 pounds and is of the finest quality
of steel. The calibre of this monster engine
of death is 19l inches, and the barrel is A
feet long. The greatest diameter of this
gun is 81 feet, and its range is about II
miles. Guns of the above size can be fired
twice per minute, each shot costing $500.
The projectile is 4 feet long, weighs 200
pounds, and is fred by charge of powder
weighing 700 pounds. This gun will
''carry up for nine miles and penetrate 20
inches of solid steel armor

1t is not new fact, but yet remark
able one, that if fruit tree, apple, pear or

Water Velocipede.
New York sun.


What was at first regarded as simple
amateur venture in the way of experiment.
the French velocipedes for service on land
and water as wells now treated by the
Marseilles papers as a practical and availa-
bic mechanism Instead of skeleton wheels
the wheels are made hollow, so that when
the machine enters the water they support
the device with its rider; they are also
grooved on their circumference with rubber
tires for land use. At the sides of the
wheels are small copper paddles, and when
the machine is run from the land into the
water these serve to propel it, SO that, while
the machine can make very good speed on
land, it is able to make about three miles
an hour in water, with the same exertion
that is needed for its propulsion on good
road 1t is stated that it does not easily
tip over when in the water, and that, when
some special features have been still further
perfected, its efficiency and usefulness will
be largely enhanced. The points mentioned
in which improvements are desirable are
the addition of air-tight compartments,
enlargement of the paddles, aud a reduc-
tion of the weight of the entire machine

Sugar in Mortar.

C. E. Spalding writes to the Scientific
american about using sugar in making
mortar, as follows:
eve use the cheapest grade Of beet
sugar, costing here in Virginia four cents
a pound, and all Jumps must be mashed up
before putting in the mortar. The mortar
must be dry or "stiff when the sugar is
put in, as it makes it very soft when mixed
thoroughly. We put the sugar in when
We temper it for putting on the walls, and
put it in the hair mortar onl y, or first coat,
and use about forty pounds of sugar to the
hundred yards. 1t is a little harder to
put on than without sugar. But the re-
suit is we have wall that cannot be easily
damaged We can draw trowel corner
over it, and bearing on hard can merely
mark it. 1t does not crack by pounding
on it, nor can the clinches be easily broken
off. 1t does not color the white coat any,
and we can find no fault with it, while on
the other hand it is far superior to the un-
sweetened. We figure the extra cost at
four cents per yard. Our sand here is
very poor and loamy"
