Fortunes Made In Electricity.

No immediate fear of the poor house
need haunt the slumbers of the leading
electricians of this country. Most Of
them, it is said, were telegraph opera
tors and began their careers in poverty;
but Prof. Bell. of telephone fame, is
now credited with the possession of
upwards of slo,oOo,OOO, Mr.. Edison is
not far behind him, and Charles T..
Brush and Elihu Thomson are near
enough for easy sociability. Frank j..
Spraguc, Franklin l.. Pope, and MANY
others are also estimate well up in the
hundred thousands. The American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers is said
TO include more millionaires in its mem
bership than any other scientific body
in this country

Bacteria and Plant Disease.

In many diseases OF plants bacteria,
as small heterogeneous are called,
are so often found and seem so closely
allied to the disease that many close
students have come to regard them as
the sole cause of disease. Though the
general tendency of scientific thought
has been in this direction, the fact
has by no means been demon
strated. The best that can be said of
this belief is that there is great prob
ability that it is correct. But oc-
casionally there are facts which bear
on the other side. DR.. Woolford is
quoted as saying that between the
sound portion of teeth and that in
which bacteria are found is always a
portion softcning in which no bacteria
are found. These organisms follow
and do not cause decay in the teeth,
though DR.. w. believes they hasten de-
cay and should be zealously combated
by those who would preserve their
teeth. If this is good science in
dentistry, it may be equally good in re-
gard to bacterial phenomena every
wherein plants as well as in animals.
1t may be that they hasten disease in
plants, though not directly cngendcring

THE PAMA SNAKE.

first Strong teeth stand behind the
venom-hoolis, which on the outward
curved side show n plain narrow de-
preston and at the root depression,
all rather small in comparison to the
size of the animal.
Tho Pama, or Bungarum Pama, of
which we give an engraving. is the
largest of the group, six feet in length,
and covered with yellow bands on
black or darl-bluc ground. The head
is blue-blacll; light yellow band ex-
tends behind the upper shield of the
head and extends around at both sides,
forming a kind of collar; the body
shows at almost even distances twenty
four to thirtythree blue-blacl and vel
low bands. This snake is common in
the East Indies, Siam, China and Java
and the neighboring islands, while the
Paraguda, another variety, prefers the
continent, especially Bengal and the
coast Of Malabar. Both select dry
region as their abode and hunt there
for their food, consisting of small NAM
malaria and creeping animals; of small
or snakes and frogs they seem especial
ly fond; a depression in the soil or an
opening among the roots of trees forms
the hiding place. In inhabited regions
these snakes are not common, but
sometimes they find their way into the
huts of the natives. If not irritated
they fly at the approach of human be-
ing, but if attacked they get very an
CRY and are then as dangerous rs any
other venomous snake of the same size.
In such cases they try to leave their
hiding place and the usual slow motions
change to restless lively mobility. Be-
fore attacking they bend the head far
backward, throw half the body slant
ingly forward and strike at the enemy.
The natives insist that the bite is abso-
lutely fatal and they dread this snake
accordingly.

but it is undoubtedly mistaken. London
transactions have, in fact, controlled the
movement OF silver absolutely for a month
past, and have been the prepondcratlng
cause of decline for still longer period.
here in New York, trading in silver has
virtually become limited to the sales
OF producers 10 exporters usually
conducted for the storage facilities
through stock exchange certificates.
In the past month sales OF
silver on the exchange have aggregated
less than 5000 ounces, whereas a wear
ago the transactions OF the same period
were eight times as large. 1t is moi proba-
bic that stock exchange operators in gen.
eral have dabbled lately to any serious
extent in the certificates. A month or
more ago when the shrewd producers
forced their entire surplus upon the
market and demoralized prices, tn 6 specu.

WHERE WATERS SING.
Prolific Growth in the Orchards and
Vineyards About Eddy Some
Readable Facts.

Correspondence New Mexican
EDDY, N. NJ, March 2G.-We receive
inquiries from the east, in nearly ever,
mail, aa to prices of improved farms un.
der our canals, and to all of these We are
compelled to answer that there is not a
single improved farm for sale, under our
canals, in Eddy county. A few large
tracts have been cultivated, and are now
being sold off in forty acre tracts, merely
as sPeculation-but these have been
planted only to farm crops, and there is
not an acre Of fruit trees or vines on any
ofthis land. These lands are all being
sold at handsome figure.
Every orchard, and every VINEYARD
that has been planted in this valley and
properly cared for, has been eminenty
successful. The growth of fruit trees and
vines, during the summer OF 80 and 81,
were simply phenomenal. As instance
OF this, | may state that on the farm of
Witt Bros, raisn grapevine grew 16
feet and 8 inches, last summer q plum
tree, feet 81 inches. On Mr.. BIanken-
ohiP . iai III, hCul l1uuS All apricot Tree
grew B feet inches, and mulberry
tree 7 feet s inches, and even
on James Hogg's farm, near Seven
Rivers, a peach tree grew feet inches
on Mr.. Gilbert's farm, plum tree grew s
feet inch. Farm crops have been
equally sncces, ,ful. Wheat, rye and
barley, in '0l, produced 80 to 40 bushels
to the acre. oats 80 to 80 bushels corn 90
to 60; alfalfa 5 to tons to the acre; and
not an acre or a spear of grain, of any
kind, was injured in the least by Pecos
river water, as has been alleged by some. |
On the contrary, oil these Yields are at.
tributable largely to the well known fer |
tiIizing qualities of this water. When |
you come here, | shall be glad to show |
you the trees and vines referred to, and |
| shall also be glad to show them to all |
doubling "Tomases".

ernor Princes address before the terrific

he admonishes all citizens of New Mex

that whatever is for the good of any por

whole territory; and that Whatever is det

A ScandaIOus Affair.

DETROIT, Mich, March 3O.--The ex
animation of "Prince" Michael, his
spiritual wife" Eliza Court, and a num-
ber of his followers who were arrested
yesterday, reveals horrible state of
affairs.
The startling disclosures made to the
assistant prosecuting attorney dlssolves
the halo of religious fanaticism which has
hung about Prince Micbael's head and
in measure protected him, and shows
him to be vicious and utterly immoral
brute, guilty of crimes that are little short
of fiendish. The case of Bernice Bechel,
very pretty girl of Is, is one of the hat-
rowing crimes for which Prince Michael
will have to answer. With the assistance
of Eliza Court, it is said, this innocent
child was deliberately debauched by
Prince Michael. Wives OF the deluded
followers of this cunning scoundrel have
likewise been debauched, and young
women have submitted to ruin under
Prince Mlchae's teaching of spiritual
marriage.
