Cynophobia.
New York Times.1

There is no such word as cynophobia
but there seems to be such thing, and
the word is..needed. Every summer dur
ing the cheated term" we have tales of
mad dogs and hydrohpobia scares, where
the dogs may be angry or in fit, but
are not rabid, and where no hydropho-
bia exists. Hydrophobia is very rare
malady, so rare that some sceptical peo-
pie doubt if it ever occurs, though there
are cases authenticated beyond question.
There is no doubt that the canine species
is subject to rabies, when the saliva be-
comes viruliferous and liable to inocu-
late the. animals, including man, with
an analogous disease. But there are
many decisions about rabies, and more

DEVELOPMENT OF GAS.
Tho Centenary of It's Discovery II Corn
wall Del G Celebrated This Year.

Tho Centenary of It's Discovery II Corn
wall Lei G Celebrated This Year.
Among the many anniversaries which
are being celebrated this year is the
centenary of the invention of gas as an
illuminant. 1t was in 1902 that Will
liam Murdoch first lighted up his
humble hcme at Rcdruth, in duchy
of Cornwall, by means of coal gas
made in an iron kettle, into which he
inserted q rough iron tube. 1t was not
until six years later that the invention
was developed on q large scale, when
Murdoch was employed to establish
gas lighting apparatus at the great
Soho foundry at birmingham. In 1903
the Lyccurl thcatcr in London was FIRST
lighted by gas, and in 1916 the gas
lamps which had been used to illuni-
nate Piecadilly since 1907 became COM
mon throughout London. 1t wa, at
this time, too, that David Melville, of
Newport L. l., first adapted gas, for
the manufacture of which he had Sc
cured patent in 1906, to the Beaver
Tail lighthouse, and it has since be-
come one of the principal illuminants
used in those watch towers which, in
imitation of the ancient Pharos, arc
now scattered all over the globe for
the guidance and protection of ships
and mariners.
1t is doubtful, in the opinion of tho
New York Tribune, whether hundred
years hence, on the occasion of the BIZ
centenary of the invention of gas, the
latter will still retain the commanding
position which it now occupies as an IL
luminant. On every side signs increase
which prcsagc that the age of electric
ity is at hand-that age which is
far more likely to rcvolutioni2c the civ
ili2ation Of the world than any of it's
predecessors. Gas will probably be
gradually forced into back seat, and
its use confined to stoves and ircplaccs,
which find such favor among the small
households of crowded cities. 1t will
be entitled, however, to the grateful
remembrance of man as q powerful
factor in the development Of his civili-
cation and progress during the past
hundred years

A Suit for Beneficiary Money.

Suit has beeen brought in San
Francisco by William Brady against
Jennie Brophy and the Supreme
Counceil of the Order of Chosen
Friends, to recover So, 900 insurance
on the life of John IT, Brady. On
July 1,19S1, John 7. Brady joined
the Comstock Council of Virginia
City, which entitled his assigns to
81. 900 at his death. Jennie Brophy
was named in the certificate as ben
eticiary when it was first issued, but
on FEBRUARY %, 1892, the insured
had the certificate changed, substitut-
ing his brother William Brady as
beneficiary in place of Jennie Brophy.
The insured died in Virginia city
on March 3, 1892. Miss Brophy still
claims the insurance, however, hence
the suit. 1t is alleged that Miss
Brophy, not being a member OF the
Brady family has no legal right to
any part of the money.
The suit brought by William Brady
&c IN determine to which of the two
claimants the money shall be paid

Attempted Burglary.

Dave Graham fired shot at bur
glar last Friday night. \ few min
uteS after he had closed his saloon
and gone to bed, Dave heard some one
trying to open the front door. H
got up and saw a man TRYING to I'M
lock the door. Tne moon was sain.
ing brightly, but the interior OF tha
saloon was dark, so Dave had the ai-
vantage. Presently the burglar was
frightened by the approach of
passer-by. After a few minutes he
returned, and began work again, and
Dave was waiting patiently for him
TO get in, but he was frightened off
again. 1t was not long, however
before Dave heard him at the back
door. Here Dave could not see him.
and getting tired of waiting he shout,
ed, What the devil do you want?'
AS the thief ran through the back
yard Dave fired shot at him
through a window, but the curtain
prevented accurate aim. The bur-
glar got away, and struck out for
Bodie. He is young man, sandy
complexion long coat, blu, overalls
turned up on bottom.

the Mt. Diab.o.

Following is Superintendent Shock
ley weekly report of operations at
the Mt. Diablo
The ore in the drift on the north of
the hanging stope on the sixth east
shows only six inches wide and as
says $50. The hanging stope has
been worked through to the interme-
date between the fifth and sixth
levels in the highest part of the
stope, but there is still considerable
ore showing here. The foot stope on
the sixth shows short bunch of Sl0
ore. The intermediate between the
fifth and sixth east is giving a small
quantity of $40 ore. The stopc above
the third west shows some improve
ment, and will yield more ore than
we had counted on. The east inter
mediate between the second and
third levels is turning out little $50
ore. We are getting some $50 ore
from the intermediate between the
first and second west. The first east
is giving a small amount of $50 ore.
The mill is running very well and
is doing good work.

Eavages of Squirrels.

The general impression that squirrels
live altogether on grains, acorns and
nuts is not altogether correct. Squir-
rcls will suck eggs and kill young
chickens and small birds with as much
fcrocity us weasel These peculiari-
ties are not often noticed in the SPUR
rel, because the animal is not bold
enough to venture on extensive dcpre-
dations in the daytime, but farmers
wives who find eggshells in the nest in
stead of eggs or discover half dozen
young chickens with their heads bitten
off should not always lay the crime at
the door of the weasels.
