CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

virgins Writes More About the Fair
A'H2 News Notes.
The secretary Of the chamber of COM
merce has received d letter from Mr..
Frank Wig9ins. the superintendent of
the Los Angeles county exhibit at the
worlds fair. Chicago. Mr.. Virgins
always writes what he sees and what he
thinks. His present communication is
none the less marked in these respects.
Much OF the letter is of personal ma
ture, but the following will perhaps be
OF some interest to the public:
s'The crowds so far have been very
small and the unfinished condition OF
every feature on the grounds will have
the effect to keep the people away at
least for another month. Southern CAL
ifornia is keeping up ner end of the show
in the horticultural building very credit
ably and is visited by from 1000 TO 5000
people daily. We have made the best
citrus exhibit in our power with the
material sent to us. All the counties of
Southern California have a representa-
tive feature of some kind and the state
at large ia being advertised by them, as
Fresno and Placer counties are the only
localities outside of our district that have
attempted to assist us in making the dis
play and they are only occupying about
Is square feet each.
''Several Of the Los Angeles people
have called during the past week and
have ell complimented us ON the work
we have done in this department. The
California building is gradually getting
into shape. The San Diego palm was
placed in position yesterday but think
it has been a mistake in placing it in
the building instead of on the lawn in
front. This has been one of the hardest
features to install that the exposition
people have undertaken; way ahead OF
the Krupp gun. Our trees and plants
are being distributed throughout the
grounds and when placed in position
will add greatly to the attractive fea-
lures Of the California exhibits"
The chamber Of commerce excursion
on the new steamer Rosalie. will be on
next Thursday. Tickets will not be
issued, however, before Tuesday.
The rou az selected and already
given in the HERALD is from this city to
San Pedro by the morning Terminal
train and there embarking upon the
steamer, which will then take the party
around to Redondo Beach, giving every
one sufficient time to take the afterfoon
train for home, over either the Santa Fe
or the Redondo Beach narrow-gauge
roads.

THAT TUG OF WAR.
THE PRoGRAMME ARRANGED FOR
THE FIRST NIGHTS EVENT.
something About the Betting-A Revised
List of the Personnel of the Teams
Entered-An Exciting Com
test Promised.

The programme for the first night of
the tug-of-war tournament was arranged
last night, and it was decided to have
the Electric Road team pull against the
Pacific team, the Lightweight American
against the Spanish team, and the Sew
enth Regiment team against the East
Los Angeles team. All of the above
teams are pretty evenly matched, and
some good sport may be expected.
The advance sale OF reserved seats yes
terday was very large, and the manage
ment have taken every precaution
against ticket speculators, 30 that those
who 80 desire will be able to secure good
seats. The betting on the contest for
the state championship yesterday be-
tween the Canadian team of San Fran
cisco and the Los Angeles American
team was even, although one bet OF 500
against 500 in favor of the Canucks was
maze at the Nsdeau yesterday after
noon. The indications are that the tug
of-war will be largely attended, not only
by Los Angeles people. but also By dele
gations from the neighboring towns.

A NEW ENTERPRISE.
A Plant for Testing Gro by the New
Cyanide PROCESS.


A Plant for Testing Gro by the New
Cyanide Process.
An enterprise of no small magnitude
hae just been started which will be of
vaet Importance to the mines and min
ers of Southern California in particular.
Mesars. L. f. Aubury, w. II. Aubury
and Wade Brcs. have now in operation
testing plant for the treatment of refrac-
tory gold ores and tailings by the I'm
proved McArthur Forrest Cyanide pro-
cess.
The Aubury brothers have had full
and practical experience with the same
and have worked it from it's first intro
duction into the United States, and
hrve fully demonstrated on the ores of
Arizona what could be done with the
process. They make no claim to sue
cessfully treat any and every ore, but
maintain that on most of the gold ores
common to California, to extract much
higher percentage OF the precious metals
than is accomplished by present milling
methods, extracting in many instances
as high as 90 per cent, at compare
lively small cost as compared with other
methods now in vogue. The purposes
OF this testing plant are to first take a
100-pound sample OF ore or tailings, or
less, and make a practical working test,
and, if results are satisfactory, they are
prepared to put in works OF any magni-
tude and make terms for treatment with
mine or mill owners.
This industry, when once in operation,
will open up hundreds of mines which
arenoW idle orwant of proper method
OF treatment OF their ores. The present
method of mill smslgsmation fails to
extract the fine or -four gold, which
goes off in suspension in the water. 1t
also fails in the extraction of gold from
iron pyrites, sulphides and other bases.
With this improved method of treat
ment all the above difficulties are fully
overcome. The process requires to be
handled with intelligence, and in the
proper hands can be made a positive

THE CH1MPU.
Peruvian and Bolivian Indians Use
Queer Counting Device.

Peruvian and Bolivian Indians Use o
Queer Counting Device.
The chimpu is a reckoning device
still employed in some remote parts OF
Peru and Bolivia. It consists es-
sentially of certain number of cords
tied together at one of their extremi-
ties and along which slide small per-
forated balls. The cords are of differ
ent colors and the balls are made of
the shells of various fruits. These
balls can be strung all at the same
time upon all the cords or upon a
certain number only.
The Indian, says the New York
journal, thus has means of creating
for himself categories of juxtaposed
numbers corresponding in our proc
esses to as many columns as there are
cords in the apparatus. If, as it hap
pens, moreover, the native calculator
decides that the balls strung a single
time shall represent units, that those
through which two cords pass shall
equal tens, ETC., he will be able to rep
resent any numbers whatever. He
will figure, for example, the figure A.
456 by stringing balls on one cord,
s on two cords, 4 on three cords and 4
on four cords. The little instrument
once tied at the lower extremity, as it
was previously at the upper, will in
definitely preserve the quadruple num-
Der which will have thus been con-
Aded TO it.
We see in this curious reckoning de-
vice of the present Indians survival
and a simplified adaptation of the old
quipus or cords with knots of vari-
Gus colors that took the place of writ
ing and enumeration among the an
cient Peruvians. It is true that the
rhimpu is at present decimal or nearly
so (the cen is easily exceeded on the
first cord), but we do not know what
it was of old. It would be interesting
to know what tribes they are that have
preserved the use of the chimpu, and
what are the amplitude and variety of
the operations that the Indians are
capable of executing upon this little
apparatus.

ONE OF THE LOST TRIBES.
a Strange Com muntty I'm India and Their
Strange Beliefs

a Strange Com muntty I'm India ond Their
Strange Beliefs
Scattered over the breezy downs Of
the Nilgherries,. in little villages Of
wicker houses, that look at little dis
Eance like nothing In the world so much
as a colony of beehives, lives q com
munity of six or seven hundred people,
who are variously believed to be the
descendants of one of the lost tribes Of
Israel, the aborigines of southern India
and community of Manichasens.
They believe in q strange trinity and
q hell, q dismal stream full of leecheS,
and this they must cross by means of q
single thread. The soul burdened with
sin is too heavy for this slender sup
port and the sinner falls into the
stream, but the thread sustains easily
the souls of the good. The funeral of
q Toda, for that is the name of the
singular tribe, is as odd in its way as
its religious belief. His body is
wrapped in new cloth, and his toes
tied together with red thread; grain,
sugar, tobacco and money are wrapped
in his funeral toga TO provide him for
his journey across the Styx and the
dark plain beyond.
Two buffaloes are slain beside the
corpse and the dead mans hands are
placed upon their horns; piece of his
skull, his hair and his fnger-nails are
removed, to be used later on at the
great celebration of the death of oil
those who, during the twelve months,
have ''talzen the leap over the great
precipice into the bottomless abyss. Z"
When these tokens are removed, clari-
fed butter is smeared ON the fragrant
wood of the funeral pyre, and the body
is burned to ashes and the ashes seat
tered to the four winds

LIVING LANTERNS IN TIE SEA.

The "Midshipnlte" and Its Rows OF Shin
ing Phosphorescent Buttons.
Away down in the dark depths Of the
ocean there are living lanterns that
are borne about lighting up the dark
ness. A queer fish called the mid
shipmite" carries the brightest and
most striking of all these sea torches.
Along it's back, under 1t and at the
base of it's fins there are small disks
that glow with clear phosphorescent
light like rows of shining buttons on
the young middy's uniform. In this
way 1t gets the name of ''midshipmite,"
by which young sailors in the navy
ere often called. These disks are ex-
actly like small bull's-eye lanterns,
with regular lenses and refectors.
The lenses gather the rays and the re-
Electors throw them out again. There
is q layer of phosphOrescent cells be-
tween the two and the entire effect is as
perfect as If made by some skillful OPP
tician. Many other fish have ''rehec-
tors" many have lenses" but the
Stmidshipmite" is the only kind that
has such splendid specimens of beth.
The fish is so constructed that when it
IS frightened by some devouring sea
monster it can close it's lenses and hide
itself In the darkness. It can turn its
lantern on and off at will. It is al
ways filled" and ready when wanted.
Another marine animal has luminous
bulb that hangs from it's chin and thus
throws light before it to warn it of
the approach of enemies. Still an
other upholds big light from the ex-
tremity of the dorsal fin. Others
again, have supplies of luminous oil
that runs down its sides from the fins,
making bright and constant light all
Ground it. Most of the jelly fish are
phosphorescent. These live far down
on the floor of the ocean where it is al
ways dark and gloomy. The jewellers
in these waters are provided with
lights of their own shining bodies and
fins, which illuminate their home with
O strange glare.
