A Novel Mining Outfit.

Henry Spencer, Colorado miner,
Is fitting ont a small naphtha launch
for novel prospecting tour. He in
tends to work the bottom of the Sa-
sramento River above Redding, and
ae is confident that his venture will
jroye successful. The launch is forty
feeYc q md nrapellcsa with an eight
Horsepower engine. In the bow Of
the boat he has placed peculiar
pump which was constructed from his
own lesign. The pump will be oper-
Gtcl by the engine, and it is calcula-
ted to tuck up the mud from the bot
tom Of the river and throw it on a
sluice which runs the full length of
the boat above the cabin and extends
far enough over the stern to throw all
he refuse back into the river. The
pump is powerful enough to suck up a
good many cubic yards a day, just
aow many the inventor could not say,
but he expected that by running at
full speed it should be somewhere
aear thousand. If the new mining
apparatus saved half the gold from
half that amount of earth from the
bed Of the river near Redding 1t
should be a paying venture, say sew,
eral miners who know the country,
md they are watching Mr.. Spencer's
mining enterprise very closely.-San

Cows MIXED While You Walt.

To take COW from door to door and
milk her in presence of each customer,
is the very newest departure in the
London milk business. 1t is one that
is not lacking in boldness and origin
atty, and it deserves more success
than it is likely, we fear, to meet with.
The practice is common enough in
Egypt, where householders appreciate
the advantage of being able to judge
for themselves whether the animal
from which they draw their supply
looks healthy or the reverse.
But then the average Egyptian is
not the slave of the British urban SUI
perstition which demands that milk
should look thick and yellow in order
to be genuine. 1t is all in vain to as :
sure most people in English towns
that pure milk is not of rich yellow
hue, and that as matter of fact it
ought to be white. They know better
than the COW and the milkmaid com
bined, and as they demand yellowness
they are supplied with it to their
hearts content. All that has to be
done, and is done, is to mix various
coloring matters with the fluid, and
these pigments usually are inocuous,
though not always SO. London Tele-

A Southern Terrapin Farm.

"Upon the coast of the Gulfof Mex
leo, about ten miles south of Mobile,
is situated Dorlane's terrapin farm. 1t
is one of two in the United States, the
other being located on the coast of
MARYLAND, and belongs to Senator
Stewart. | was once the guest of
Dorlane, said L. E. Dougherty, at the
Emery, "and was much interested in
watching the development upon that
place. l found that the terrapins,
which are usually advertised for sale
in the restaurants at from 25 cents to 81,
sold at from 81 to Sc dozen.
Perhaps 10000 terrapin are turned
into the Dorlanes terrapin farm at one
time. They will average all the way
from one month to twelve months; all
terrapin over that are not received at
all, because they can be sold direct at
more than would pay to raise them IN
the farm. The farm is not unlike q
rice farm; it is composed of strips of
narrow land and of narrow water, and
the terrapin are fed three times day,
being called by a peculiar chuckle,
upon which they come and receive
their food. When arrived at the age
of one year they sell readily in New
York for $4 so per dozen. There are
perhaps ten thousand of them on the
Dorlanes farm below that age. They
are marketed when they are one year
old. ."-Cincinnatti Enquirer.

Good-By to the Woods.

upon metaphysical and theological
subjects, but he was first a man and
afterwaid philosopher. twill sur
prise many who knew him only
through his books to be told that he
had not only a genial relish for
homely human companionship but a
profound enjoyment OF nature. DIR.
j. II. Twi:hell describes him as GO
ing into the Adlrondacks year after
year, and carrying with him, even ia
old age, all the enthusiasm OF youth.
His genial nature expanded in the
atmosphere OF seclusion amid wild
surroundings Every party going
with him into the woods felt the
spiritual sunshine of it, He made
the camp seem like home The
guides all loved him, ana coveted his
service, thinking more of his COM
pany than Of his wages The Keene
Valley folks came to look eagerly for
his annual appearance among them.

say, he was on terms OF the tenderest

which his conscience OF declining
strength had warned him would
probably be his last in the Adiron-
dacks He had gone with Trumbull
TO the lake to pass two or three days
there in camp, and have one more
look at place so dear.
On the morning when he was to re-
turn to the Valley when everything
was made ready to start he bade
Trumbull leave the baggage where it
was for while and row him out into
the lake. Midway between the shores
he caused the boat TO stop
A long time he sat there, turning
this way and that, bending his eyes
earnestly, steadfastly, but without
speaking, on the views around-the
Gothic Range, the cone Of Haystaek,
the encircling forest. Then he di4
rected the guide to take him near

Limits Of Electricity.

The principal hindrance to the de-
velopment of electrical engineering,
says Alexander Siemens, must be look
ed for in the exaggerated expectations
that were raised, either by ignorance
or by design, when the general public
first seriously thought of regarding
electricity as commodity for every
day use. In its first stage the devel-
opment of the electrical industry was
closely connected with telegraphy
the second step might be said to have
been taken when electric lighting was
introduced; and now it seems that
transmission of power is to be the
problem which electrical engineers
will have to grapple with in the near
future.
The success of electric tram lines
has undoubtedly contributed to direct
general attention to the transmission
of power by electricity, but great
care will have to be exercised so as not
to start in direction that can lead to
no practical results. Many schemes
have been started to introduce electro
city, as the motive power on the main
lines Of railway, and to accelerate at
the same time the speed of the trains,
even up to 200 miles an hour. 1t
would be rash to say that such a speed
would not be attained some day, but
none of these schemes can bo carried
out on a commercial basis with the
means at present at disposal. Power.

A strange occurrence, ILLUSTRATING
the force Of storms, has been report.
ed. The Peoria Ill.) Transcript con.
tanned the following: Last night
during the heavy storm two hogs,
each weighing about seventy-two
pounds, and fat goose belonging 10
Sam Wainscott were blown from his
barnyard and they have not been
heard from since. However unlikely
or remarkable it may appear, these
very pigs and the identical goose
blown away from Peoria, H., are now
in excellent condition and living on
the farm Of 7. J. Hancock, west Of
this city. They we're dropped there
by the storia which picked them up
from the barnyard of Samuel VAIN
scott. They arrived in an exhausted
condition about two o'clock that night,
having been hurled through the air
200 miles at lightning speed almost,
and when the storms fury had been
expended they alighted without injury
and none the worse for their strange
adventure. 1t was two o'clock at
night when Mr.. Hancock, who was out
in the lot attending to some stock,
getting it out Of the storm, when the
three animals dropped down on the
ground from the roaring blackness OF
the clouds, surprising him beyond
measure. He made inquiry of all his
neighbors, but could not find where
they came from. Finally the item in
the Transcript caught his notice, and
he wrote at once to Mr.. Wainscott,
asking for description of the missing
stock. It came and was the descrip-
ton Of the strange animals in his lot.
So thoroughly is he convinced that
they are the property of Mr.. VAIN
scott that he has written that gentle
man to come and get his stock. The
distance from Peoria to where they
were dropped is over 200 miles, and
the occurrence is little short of mira
culous. ~ Chicago Times.

An English journal maintains that it is
the tune which is now welded to the
words; "We won't go home till

it in the shadow of the pyramids in
l799 and the Bedouins who heard it
wept fol- Joy. 1t was found among the

this was the first time he had ever
made an assault on an American, or g
"white man, as the Americans were
then called to distinguish them from
the native Mexicans.
Sergeant Forbes was very popular
with his troop and also with the peo-
pie Of Albuquerque, and his comrades
and friends were wild with anger, and
at once began search of the town for
the assassin who, it is needless 10 say,
was not found
Euly the next morning a sheep
hesder came into Albuquerque with
the Information that he had seen
Miguel Larado on horseback over on
the Rio Puerco, about eight miles west
Of town.
Getting the consent of Captain Rob
binf, Lietenant Manning and twenty
men, with as many more Mexican
horsemen, were soon riding at a fast
gallop in the direction of the place
where the assassin was reported as
having been seen.
The herder had made no mistake.
After a two hours ride, the pursuers
surprised Laralo while some distance
from his horse, which was grazing
lower down on the bank of the river.
The puerco is broad. shallow stream,
noted for its quicksands. Seeing that
he could not reach his horse, and that
the only chance of escape was to cross
the river, the outlaw, who knew its
dangerous character, hesitated for a
moment, then, urged to desperation
By the shouts of the oncoming horse
men, he plunged over the bank. In
some way he struggled to the middle
of the river, and his strength failed
him just as the foremost horseman dis
mounted and shouted to him to come
back.
But Miguel Larado could neither go
back nor forward. As he stood there,
he sank inch by inch. The men quickly
took off their hitching halters, and
threw them to him, but he cast them
aside, for he knew full well that if he
once got into their hands rescue from
the quicksands would mean death at
one of those same halters.
Lower and lower he sank, till the
water reached his armpits. Then, by
a desperate effort, he succeeded in
reaching down and drawing revolver
from his belt. Kissing an oath, he
leveled the weapon at the men on the
bank, and fired. Fortunately, the
shot missed, and before he could fire
second time the quicksand had
reached his throat and the water was
dashing over his head.
Within five minutes of tho time the
troopers under Lieutenant Manning
reached the bank of the Puerco, Mig
uel Larado had vanished forever il
the quicksands that we're no more
cruel than himself.
The next day we began our march
westward, and when we reached Fort
Whipple, some two months afterward
we were delighted to learn that Ser.
geant Forbes had not only recovered
but had welded the idol of his heart
the beautiful Nina Seyana.
