The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1893-04-27

With millions of coined dollars in
the treasury vaults of this nation
dollars which are the property OF the
government-why should the secre-
tary of the treasury and the president
of the United States authorize a new
bond issue? Bonds, as stated by the
retiring president of the trans-Miss-
issippi congress, are evidence of in
debtedness. Why should the public
debt of the United States be increased,
in time of profound peace, when the
Golfers OF the government are over
flowing with money? 1t should not
be increased, and any administration
which shall attempt to increase the
public debt in that manner will be
doomed. Coin means either gold or
silver. Had the secretaries of the
treasury during the past sixteen years
SO interpreted the meaning of the
word, instead OF arbitrarily deciding
that coin meant gold, our stock of
gold on hand would now be consider
ably larger than it is. The ruling of
the treasury department on that point
has resulted in making said depart
ment mere transfer Office for
European gold buyers. Secretary
Carlisle is believed to be an honest
and patriotic man. He can prove
that he is both honest and patriotic
by proceeding to pay all coin obliga-
tions in silver instead Of gold, where
there is no specific contract calling
forp paymentin gold.- ogden Standard.

Another remarkable feat is to skate

BATRACHIAN MUSICIANS.
An Invalid's Wonderful Work with
Pet Frogs.
A New York Correspondent Tells About
the Astonishing Tricks Performed
by the Queer Little Crsa-
lures.

Since the publication of Mr.. Jewell's
experience with frogs a good many
stories Of their wonderful adaptability
to human training have been told.
Horace Horton, of Buffalo, has reached
the height of success in the way OF
bringing frogs under his persuasive
control.
He is wealthy invalid and derives
great pleasure from teaching his pets.
1t will be remembered that Mr.: jew
ellis frogs would come ut the sound of
bell to get their dinner from their
masters hand All this is wonderful.
but Mr. Horizons triumph has been
greater. A Philadelphia Times corre-
spondcnt visited him the other day and
witnessed his unique frog circus. Gaz-
ing down into the little artificial lake
he saw ocean shells scattered over the
bottom and wondered what they were
for.
Mr. Horton gave shrill whistle, and
simultaneously from every shell
hoped out n big frog; who kicked IL
self to the surface of the water. All
jumped to the smooth bank and sat
staring at their master.
and every leg was drawn close to the
body and the action was taken.
Form in line," came next, and the
wcll-trained amphibians formed in
four lines with an old giant at their
head, who, Mr.. Horton said. weighed
| six pounds and seven ounces. He was
enormous, and looked as though he
had dined on his weaker brethren for
generations of tadpoles.
At the word of command they per-
formed all kinds Of cvolutions. every
Veg kicking in perfect unison. Their
movements were astonishing in num-
Der and variety, and one might well
believe Mr.. Horizons statement that it
took him over ten years to get this Sc
lect company into such perfect disci-
pline. Races were held after the drill.
and then followed a jumping contest.
At a given signal each frog in turn
leapcd into the water and disappeared.
''What you have seen my frogs do So
far is very wonderful" said Mr.. IIor-
ton, "but their chief accomplishment
you have not seen, or heard, | should
say. 1t is the wonder Of everyone.
and people have come miles to witness
it. Wait till dusk and then will hav,.
them perform
At last dusk came and Mr.. Horton
took the reporter out to the waters
edge and gave him a seat. lie then
brought out miniature mnsician's :
stand and placed it near the edge of
the little lake. At HSsigAA note the
frogs came to the surface 81 t!,c-water
and jumped into the stand. They
| formed circle, and at the word Of
command began to sing tune. Encl,
| frog had been selected because of its
fine croalz, and there was n perfec,
scale among the voices The largcs,
frog sang the deepest bass. and little
fellow, almost tadpole, sang shril}
soprano. 1t was wonderful. Mr.. IIor
ton said that during the warm months
their voices were clearer and sweeter
than at this time of year. When the
frogs began to show signs Of WEAKNESS
their master gave them the signal to
stop, and all sought their homes at the
bottom of the lake. Mr.. Horton tells
many stories Of the intelligence Of his
| pets.

A Civilized Gorilla,

At the aquarium in. berlin there is q
big gorilla whose habits are about as
correct as those Of the most of his dis

soap without hesitation. When his
toilet is completed he takes cup Of

OF bread with Frankfurt sausages and
smoked Hamburg beef, all of which he
moistens with q glass of weiss beer.
AT one p. m. he takes bowl of soup.

Of the gentlemen in the front row put

While talking to his friend he felt n
slight pinch OH the arm. On looking
around he saw that the lady behind
him had turned to look up to the bal
cony, and in SO doing had placed her
hand on his arm. Realizing that she
had done SO unconsciously, he did not
move his arm, says the Rochester
Union-Advertiser.
Soon, however, he felt hard pinch
Thinking that the best way to call the
lady's attention to what she was doing
would be to ask if anything was
wanted, the gentleman turned and
asked:
''What is it, MADAME"
''Sir?" said the lady, and immediate.
1y the husband blnzed up.
What 90 you mean by speaking to
my wife?" he demanded.
Don't mean anything was the re-
ply, "but l would like to know what
your wife means by pinching my arm?
Then both men looked at the lady's
hand, which still rested on the arm.
Both smiled, became little nervous
and apologized. During the rest OF
the performance the lady kept her
hand in her muff.

A BULLET.PRoOF BREAsTPLATE
The Invention OF German Tailor to
Protect soldiers.

Projectilc makers in recent years
have expended much money. TING and
ingenuity in increasing the efficiency
Of the various missiles that come with
in scope Of their endcavors. and they
have undoubtedly achieved some Won
derful results. But of what use is it
all? No sooner is the projcctilc inn
proved to the extent of dcmolishing
the iliclicst object of its attack than
some counter improvement is made to
defeat the improved projcctile. ArmGr
plate is made too strong to be pcne-
trated by missiles of the greatest
known penetration, and then missile,
are made to penetrate the armor. and
stronger armor has to be made. So th"
inventors in the two lines keep playina,
seesaw with one another, now one up
and now the other, until it seems as ii
their rival efforts must produce about
the same result as if neither had ever
begun. and as if the best way to end il
all was to mutually agree to do moth
ing.
Here is a German tailor in Mann
holm, for instance, says the London
News. who had apparently defeated
the lately gained and much lauded in
creased penetrating power of the Gc"-
man rifle ball. He has invented or dis
covered some substance which rc@ists
bullet, in way that greatly a,tonishes
military men, and the army magnates
are after his secret. Military commits
sionS have made numerous tests and
declared the results most satisfactory.
The inventor has made the material
into Il sort of cuirass or brc;lstplate in
tended to be fastened to the uniform nt
, the shoulders and the thighs and
weighing only six pounds. The sur
ace of the breastplate is of ordinary
military cloth, and the resisting sub
stance is put underneath. OF course it
leaves the head, arms and legs cx-
posed. At one of the tests life size
dummy figure of a soldier was dressed
up with enc of the shields and set up
to be fired at, Not one of the bullets
that struck the figure went through
the material. They were found i'm
beddcd in the coat, all of them fiat
fened by the resistance offered. In or
der to find the probable effect Of the
bullets upon human body the dummy
was covered with soft material under
| the brcastp1ate, and the effect upon it
was but IL slight depression, less than
Il tenth of an inch beneath where the
| bullet struck. 1t seems likely. there
fore. that Il soldier wearing the armor
would suffer some pain on being struck
by bullet, and at short distance
might even be rendered insensible, but

THE BED or THE ATLANTIC.
A Wondrous Region OF Steep Mountains

wondrous Region Of Steep Mountains

Proceeding westward from the Irish
coast the 0eean bed ieepcns very grad

fact, for thesfrst $50 miles the gradient
is but six feet to the mile. In the next
twenty miles, however, the fall is over
5000 feet, and SO precipitous is the sud
den descent that in many places depths
of 1, 200 to 1000 fnthoms are encoun-
tered in very close proximity to the
10O-fathom line. With the depth Of
1900 to 1900 fathoms the sea bed in
this part Of the Atlantic becomes
slightly undulating plain, whose
gradients are SO light that they show
hut little alteration Of depth for 1900
miles. The extraordinary fatness Of
these submarine prairies renders the
familiar sipilc Of basin rather inap-
propriatc. The hollow Of the Atlantic
is not strictly a basin whose depth in
creases regularly toward the center; it
is rather . sapcer or dish-like one, SO
even is the contourof its bed.,*
The greatest depth in the Atlantic
has been found some 100 miles to the
northward Of the island Of st. Thomas,
where soundings Of 3,s75 fathoms were
obtained. The saas round Great Britain
can hardly be regarded as forming
part Of the Atlantic hollow. They are
rather part OF the platform banks of
the European continent which the
ocean has sverfowed. An elevation Of
the sea bed 100 fathoms would suffice
TO lay bare the greatest Rart OF the
North sea and join England to Den
mark, Holland, Belgium and France. A
deep channel of water would run down
the west coast Of Norway, and with
this the majority of the fords would
be connected. A great part Of the Bay
Of Biscay would disappear, but Spain
and Portugal are: but little removed
from the Atlantic depression. The
100-fathom line approaches very near
the west coast, and soundings of 1000
fathoms can be made within twenty
miles Of Cape St. Vincent, and much
greater depths have been sounded at
distances but little greater. than this
from the western shores Of the Iberian
peninsula,
