Parisians have been engaged in
a controversy as to whether Rava-
chol intended to shout give la
Republic" or 'la revolution" or
ola revolte," when the blade of the
guillotine cut him off at give la
Re" Persons who were close
to the guillotine have declared
that they distinctly heard the syl-
tables "-publique" issue from the
lips Of the severed head as it rolled
into the basket; and this declara-
ton has led to much additional
discussion as to whether it could
possibly be true. An eminent
physician has read a paper before
the Academy of Medicine in which
he holds that no sounds could pos
sibly emanate from a severed head,
and makes this grewsome explain
alton of what might have been
heard by the bystanders: eff a
criminal go to the scaffold, as Ra-
vachol did, with his wits about him
he instinctively contracts all his
muscles when placed under the
knife On the severance of the
spine the muscles suddenly distend
and the air which has been con-
fined in the chest may, in passing
through the vocal organs, produce
a sound which could be mistaken
for the syllable 'ique' -.

Yale has a new psychological
laboratory. One of the instru-
ments to be used will measure the
diversity of time to one-hundredth
part of a second. The standard of
normal muscular reaction is eigh-
teen one-hundredths Of a second,
and anything beyond this exhibits
fatigue. Sensory reaction is for
sound twenty-three one-hundred-
this of a second, approximately, and
for light about twenty-nine one
hundredths of a second. If, by
using this apparatus, it is found
that in the case of muscular reac-
ton it runs to twenty-five one-hun-
dredths of a second, the fatigue is
very great. Another test for ia
tigue is to measure with a delicate
instrument the time of a glance
when fatigued and when in a nor
NAL condition. For instrnce, it
takes longer to pick one out from
a pile of letters when fatigued than
when in a normal condition.

The canal voriously known as
st. Mary's Fall, the Sault Ste.
Marie and the $780," Is the most
important in the world, estimat-
ing it's value by the amount of
commerce passing through it. 1t
forms the water connection be-
tween the rich, productive and
growing northwest and and the
eastern portion of the United
States and Canada. Three times
as many vessels pass through it as
the Suez Canal. 1t was built tc
avoid the obstruction in St
Mary's River. 1t was begun in
1853, the cost of construction be.
ing betrayed by a grant of public
lands amounting to 10000 acres
made to the State of Michigan
Two years later it was navigated
from Lake Huron to Lake Superb
or, steamers passing through 6
lock having two cells, each 800 by
70 feet, with a depth of IL feet {
inches. After some years it be.
came evident that these locks were
insufficient to meet the demands
upon the canal, and in 1870, un'
der United States Government
contracts, an enlargement was be-
gun. The new lock cells admitted
vessels drawing Is feet 6 inches OF
water, and had a capacity of about
ninety-six vessels a day, for ship
ping, ranging from eight hundred
to twelve hundred tons. The
locks speedily became incapable Of
answering the demands of CON-
merce, so rapidly did the north
west grow. The result has been
the building of a new lock, which
will permit the passage of vessels
drawing nineteen feet of water.

Current indications point to a

Gen. Cleaves, in comparison with
one of $4,000 on the republican
side of the state election four
years ago. If Maine had clenched
the Vermont decrease of 5000 with
a diminution as considerable as
5000, it must be held hat the
republican party has not a very
promising outlook in New Eng
land.-Boston Herald.
Extraordinary effort has been
made to bring out a full vote. But
the people do not enthuse. This
has been a noticeable feature of
the campaign to date all over this
country. Rarely has so little in
terest been shown in a National
canvass. And the general apathy
seems to promise worse things for
the party in power than the other.

The abominable smell noticed
about very cheaply bound books
is caused by the carbolic acid
which is put in the paste to pre-
serve it and keepit free from cock
reaches, which viii scent pure
paste a block away and come to it
in shoals. Under ordinary cirCum-
stances cloves will do as we'll as
carbolic acid, but in bookbinderies,
where there is always a good sup
ply of paste and where the other
attractions for cockroaches are nu-
merous, carbolic acid is really the
only eifectual preventive. In the
case Of better bound books very
little paste is used, and the leather
has generally sufficient perfume
about il to counteract a little un-
pleasantness.

The commercial importance of
the Amazon River is shown by
Fanny b. Ward, in a late syndi-
cate letter. With its afAuents this
river furnishes more than $4,000
miles of navigable water. Its
eight principal tributaries are
each over 1000 miles long and
over $50 other branches unite to
form its main stream. The larg-
est ship that ever was built could
sail straight up from its mouth
1000 miles, while for hundreds
and hundreds of miles along its
lower course are lateral chan
nels, technically called igaripes
(%canoe paths), in which boats may
travel without even entering the
main stream-the bayous of the
lower Mississippi Valley duplicat-
ed on a greatly increased scale.
The Amazon basin is more
than three times as large as that
of the Mississippi, including a
vast untrodden forest fully 1900
miles long by 1000 miles broad,
whose edges only have been ex-
plored by a few adventurous rub
Der hunters and seekers after tor
toise shell, wood, mahoganyandoth
er valuable timbers. At it's mouth
the river is $50 miles from shore
to shore and 800 feet deep; at San
taren, the most important interior
city of Brazil, it is ten miles wide;
away off on the Brazilian frontier
it is 20 feet deep, and 1890 miles
above the sea it is almost a mile
across.

him that which he should do.
80. And they all spake and
said: Verify, verify, Benjamin, thou
mnst straightway send thy heralds
unto the plumed knight, and say
unto him that he should haste un-
to us that we might not be over
come by Grover the Wise.
81. Now the plumed knight
yet lingereth in his own tent; and
he spake not but saweth wood for
his own household.
80. And Grover the Wise, with
his mighty army Of horny handed
warriors, drew nigh unto the gates
of the city Of Washington, where
Benjamin dwelt in the house that
is white.
80. And all the eunuchs Of the
House of Benjamin fed through
the inner gates in blocks Of FIVE.
40. Now Grover the Wise, blew
a mighty blast from his trumpet
of war, and many cymbals sound
ed among his men of battle; for
his mighty hosts were swelled by
all the good and wise men Of the
the land.
Al. And it came to pass that
they fell upon Benjamin and his
high priests and his chief counsel
ors; and Whitelaw, of York; and
they smote them with long swords
and short swords, and with broad
swords and lances; and with stones
thrown from mighty sings, and
those that were slain of the house
of Benjamin we're more than those
that lived.
AZ. Wherefore, Benjamin
reigned no more in the land OF
Columbia and the plumed knight
saweth wood for his own house
hold, and spake not to the end OF
his days.
43. Benjamin wept.
A. Now, Grover the Wise, be-
gan to reign over the land of Col
umbia; and Frances, whom Grover
had taken to wife, was the fairest
woman in all the land.
40. And the reign of Grover
was of much wisdom; and the
people prospered and the widows.
tears were dried, and there were
beautiful harvests in the land, and
there yer no more plaques, and
there was not any man, nor wo-
man, nor child, nor man servant,
nor maid servant who had not di.
vers shekels of silver and gold.
and there was much rejoicing in
the land.

reign of Grover the Wise, he cast
out devils more than has ever been
cast out since the first coming OF

MINES BOOMING.
RICH SPECIMENS FROM THE
NEEDLES REGION.
A Big Find At the Hidden Hill Mine.
Massive Wire GOld-Experts Pre-
dict Great Prosperity.

Ex-Conductor Monahan, now of the
firm of Monahan & Murphy, merchants,
of The Needles, passed through San
Bernardino yesterday, on his way to
visit his family at Santa Ana, and was
met by representative of the HERALD,
to whom he impaired some very inter-
esting facts about the mineral develop
ments in the neighborhood of The
Needles.
Mr.. Monahan had in his possession
some very interesting specimens of gold
quartz. One of these was decomposed
surface quartz, interviewer with massive
wire gold. The other was a clear white,
light quartz, held together by filaments
Of gold. Such ore would be immensely
rich, going several hundred thousand
dollars to the ton. These interesting
specimens were taken from what is
called Hidden Hill mine, in the Old
Woman's range, between Needles and
Barstow. These specimens were of
course taken from pockets, but
these pockets are frequently en-
countered in the highly min
eralized quartz Of that section.
The owner of the mine has been doing
assessment work only for some years
past; his claim is marked by immense
quantities of quartz highly mineralized.
He recently collected a very trihing
quantity of the ore, which was 30 rich
that the Messrs. Monahan & Murphy
obtained $500 for him. There is no
question but that developments of ex-
ceptional richness will characterize this
portion of the Mojave desert.
Mining is looking up all over this Sec
ton. The other day within seventy-five
miles of the Needles, an enterprising
prospector received $4,000 for a gold
discovery, which is especially rich on
the surface, and which gives promise Of
great things.
Near Kingman. A. T., great silver
discovery has been made; twenty-five
tons OF this ore, averaging 301 ounces of
silver to the ton, were lately sold at the
mills at So cents an ounce, making very
handsome profit for the hardy prospector.
All over this section the mining inter-
ests are looking up. Prospectors are
greatly encouraged, and valuable mines
of both gold and silver are being ex-
plotted by intelligent prospectors on all
hands. The outlook for tremendous
output of both gold and silver within q
radius of 100 miles of the Needles is of
the most gratifying description. Min
hesitation in saying that in the territory
included in this radius will be developed
one of the most productive and remun-
erative mining regions on the face of the
American continent.
