A meeting Of the various principals
Of the Nevada public schools was held
ut the Office of State Superintendent
otPublic Schools, Orvis Ring, Thurs
day TO discuss and recommend Ger
tain legislation beneficial to the pub
lie school system to the Incoming leg
islatuIs.
General r. M. Clarke is out in a
letter to the Rono Gazette claiming
that the incoming Legislature is an
illegal body. He claims that the ap-
7ertionment made by the last Legis-
lature was not IN accordance with the
Constitution. He quotes numerous
authorities to sustain his position.
How the Lucifer Match Was In.
vented. -
tits not generally known that it is
to Isaac Holden, NJ. p, that we owe
the invention Of the luciter match.
The discovery was, he has told US
himself, the result of u happy thought.
1nthe morning I used to get up Mt
fotr o'clock in order to pursue my
sAdies, and 1 used at that time the
fht and steel, in the use of which I
fund very great Inconvenience. Or
purse L knew, as other chemists did,
fIe explosive material that was neces-
bry in order to produce instantan-
hous light, but it was very difficult to
produce a light IN wood by that OK
~plosive material, and the idea occurred
TO me to put sulphur under the ex-
'plosive mixture. 1 did that and
showed it in my next lecture on chem
lstry, 4 course of which I wal deliver
ing at a large academy. There was,
said Mr. Holden, a young man in the
room, whose father was a chemist in
London, and he Immediately wrote to
his father about it, and shortly after
ward lucifer matches were issued to
the world. I believe that was the first
occasion that we had the lucifer
match. 1 was urged to go and take
out q patent Immediately. but 1
thought it was 80 small q matter and
it cost mo 30 little labor that / did not
think it proper to 90 and get u patent,
otherwise / have no doubt 1t would
have been very profitable .-[Psll Mall

WAVES WITHOUT WIND.

Mysterious Causes.


Immense UpheavsIs of the Ocean from
Mysterious Causes.
Occasionally there appears q great
wave sweeping across the calm surface
Of the ocean in the fairest weather, and
when no wind is blowing. There are
few perils OF the sea, says the Philadcl-
phia Times, more to be dreaded than
such q wave. Fortunately they are
very rare. yet more than once ship
has encountered ono. Only q short
time ago the Etruria was met by a wave
of this kind. which rolled upon her like
q wall of water. and breaking against
her sides. swept the deck with irrcsissi
bic force. killing one sailor and serious
ly injuring others
A smaller and less stannch vessel
might have been overwhelmed and
sent to the bottom by the blow.
The cause of these singular waves 10
believed 70 be some disturbance Of .
volcanic nature at the bottom of the
sea. Volcanoes exist In the ocean as
well as on land; In fact. nearly all the
volcanoes known arc on or near thu
-cacoast. IL is easy TO see that an up
heavai at the sea bottom may start o
billov a. the surface of the water when
We remember that huge waves have
been sent clear across the Pacific ocean
TO san Francisco by volcanic shalsings
of the earth on the borders Of Asia.
The world under water Is not only
three times az extensive as that which
L. covered only with air. but II possesscs
many Of the same great natural phe-
nonens on a scale that j. perhsp. pro
portionately vast, but Of whoss ex
istence we are made aware only by
such Indications a. the volcanic ocesa
waves that ships occasionally sacoan.

A Phalanx.

A phalanx in the military affairs of
Greece was a square battalion or body
of soldiers formed in ranks and files
compact and deep with their shields
Joined and pixies crossing each other so
as to render it almost impossible to
break it. At first the phalanx consisted
of 1000 men, but this number was after.
ward doubled by Philip of Macedon,
and the double phalanx is hence often
called the Macedonian phalanx. Poly
bus describes it thus:
"It was a square Of pikemen, consist
ing of sixteen in flank and 500 in front.
The soldiers stood so close together that
the pixies of the fifth rank extended
three feet beyond the front. The rest,
whose pixies were not serviceable owing
to their distance from the front, couched
them upon the shoulders of those who
stood before them, and so locking them
together in file pressed forward to sup
port and push on the former rank, by
which means the assault was rendered
more violent and irresistible" The
spears of those behind also stopped the
missiles of the enemy. Each mans pike
was twenty three feet long. The word
phalanx is also used for any combina-
ton of people distinguished for solidity
and firmness. A grand phalanx consist
ed of 1884 men.-Brooklyn Eagle.

"A machine has been invented which
separates ashes from boiler fires into
three portions. Unburned fuel, called
breeze or cinders, which can be mixed
with coal and burned over again, or for
blacksnths' fires, being the finest ma

builders in place of sand; clinkers. use

The machine consists of tank or COM
partment kept full of water. The ashes

copper plate. a free passage of water
is allowed, and Mt the same time the
breeze or fuel is prevented from falling.
The separation is effected by an agi-
tator worked by crank shaft AT each
downward plunge of the agitator the
water is forced upward through the per
forated copper bottom, causing the ma
terial to rise. The rubbish, owing TO its
greater specific gravity, is precipitated
to the bottom on the return stroke; at
the same time the breeze, or unburned
fuel, being lighter, works to the surface.
