 FIfty Millions in Silver.

The huge vault at the mint known as vault c, in which has been sealed up for nearly four years $50, ,O0O, ,OO0 Of standard silver dollars, was opened recently and the long and laborious task of counting this big amount of money was begun. As the occasion was deemed one of importance, says the Philadelphia Times, there was observed some little formality. Dr. Caleb Whitehead had come on from Washington to represent the mint bureau, Frank Satori represented Superintendent Townsend, and w. l.. Bosbyshell, Col. Bosbyshell's son, represented the former Superintend- ent. William F.. Morgan, United States Treasury examiner. was also present. United States Treasurer Daniel N. Morgan, who, with his son, happened to be in the city, and ac- eompanied by Maj. Norman, wit messed the breaking of the seal and afterward made tour of inspection of the mint.
 Maj. c. H. Towsend, Cashier of the mint, having been given the combi- nation of the vault, proceeded to open the door. This was easily ac- cOmplished, but when the inner door was reached some difficulty was ex- perieneed, as even after the combina- ton lock was manipulated the door refused to open, the bolts from long disnse sticking fast.
 This was soon overcome. however, entrance was finally effected and the assembled officials stepped within the inclosHre where lay piled up mil- lions. On the inside door, fastened by sealing wax, was q sheet of fools cap paper containing the statement that $33 ,000, ,000had been placed there on February I, 1890, with Maj. Moline, of the Treasury; E. r. Butler, of the Mint Bureau, and James C. Eyster, eI the mint, present, and that fur ther, $17, ,0OO, ,000 more had been sealed up on May 26, 1891.
 The vault emitte q damp mnsty odor when opened: Under the glare of the electric light the great wealth of stored silver was visible. There il lay in bags just as il had been placed. There were 50.000 bags, each coh- taining $1 .0G0 in shining coin These bags were piled up one 0n top of the other, the topmost almost reaching the arehed ceiling of the vault nearly nine feet high. The whole mass had been arranged in different stacks. The first stack was thirteen bags high and eight across. Just in the rear of this was a second stack, whi 2 still fnrt her back loomed up third This, though, represents only one section of the vault. Altogether there are nine. The weight of this great amount of silver is 2.S30, GOO pounds avoirtlupOise, and the tre- mend0us pressure of the upper bags upon the lower had caused | aum- Der of the latter to burst, causing their glistening contents to spread out upon the floor

The vote by which it wai passod-a proportion of about to B. shows how the people over there feoI about it.
 When we say free silver we mean s variety of things There was the free silver law that we had up to 1873. Then there was the Bland law, which con tinued in operation after q lapse oi years, until 1890. Then VIC had the Sherman law, which existed from tha time until 1893. There is free silver coinage measure which allows man tc take the metal to the mint and reeeiv, his dollars therefor, less tho amount o the seigniorage. Another silver law al lowed a man to deposit gold or silver with the government and receive in re turn sort of warehouse receipt for it Still third law gave man certihcatei for tho metal So you see that free sil yer may mean any one of several sys tems. none of which is specified by thu resolution of the Ohio Democratic con vention.
 ''The resolution will in no way altel or affect my attitude in the senate. candidly believe that If two-thirds of th' house and senate was elected on silver planks, 80 called, it would not affect the country at all, except to create an ap- prehension on the part of the people, AS to what would be the result of their leg islation. 1 am in favor of free silver under certain conditions, but there Is a kind of free silver which, if continued in operation, will bankrupt nation in time."

Utilization of the Earth,s Heat

In his address to the Chambr e Syndicate des Produits Chimiquas, Mir. Berthelon, the illustrons chemist, suggested as a subject for the atten- ton of the next generation of engi- neers the substitution of the heat of the sun, OF the central heat, as a source of energy, for that derived from coal. The sinking of. a shaft three or four kilometers deep is not beyond the power q modern and especially of future engineering. At such depth water would be found with a temperature of 160 degrees to POO degrees en.,z-whieh would de- velop enough power for any number of machines. This power would be available in any part of the globe, and many thousands of years would pass away before this store of energy would suffer an appreciable diminu- tion.-Scientitic American.

 DENVER. Sept 29.-Lieutenant Ed ward H. Plnnmer has been- relieved at his own request from duty as acting agent at the Navajo Indian agency. In the report to the Indian department Hummer states that half of the $6O ,O0O appropriated by congress to build irri- gating ditches on the Navajo'a reserva- tion in accordance with General Nc Cooks recommsndatioR has been frtt- tered away and that there is nothing to show for it only 135 yards of ditch as useless AS if it were in the middle of Si- erra. It is understood that Hummer recommends that the man now in charge of the ditches be removed. He says the appropriation has been wasted in high salaries and useless formalities. With the drouth, cramped reglations, low prices for wool and humbuggery at the hands of an alleged useless irrigating committee, the Navajos are on the verge of starvation, according to Plum mer

lEMEN BRos.s SHOWS.
Successors to ". ". Cole.

As circus day approaches interest in the coming exhibition of the Great l4emen Bros. Shows which will ex- hibit here this season increases, and the excitement iii young and old American circles expands. The re- ports of the big shows success this year has been SD general, and the leading features have produced so great q sensation elsewhere, that public interest has been aroused to a greater extent than usual, and the big show is certain to coin money. Ii must always be a source of satis- faction to an audience when it feels il is getting an equivalent for it's money. but when the features-b0th in the menagerie and ring-arc out of the established "rut" of the aver age circus, and develop into series which would constitute a feature strong enough to draw the public, ,an audience must become enthusiastic in its pleasures. This seems to be the effect wherever the Lemen Bros. have been this season, and that no doubt will be the effect here. Among the new features the most prominent will be Rajah, the largest elephant that walks the earth. The free exhibition on the show grounds after the parade is said to be the best ever given.
