CHEMICALLY CONSIDERED
Cotton is Concentrated Sunshine and
Closely Akin to Sugar.
From the New York Times

rom lnt new OTk Times.
But cotton is of greater interest chem
ically than in any other way, because
few people have studied it in this way
1t has been called concentrated sunshine
And this is the exact truth, however
fancifui it may appear 1t consists of
carb0n-in almost its purest state-and
water This carbon is all derived from
the air, only during and by the sole
effect of the sunlight. So that the some
what pOetical figure is really a material
fact. 1t is equally true that it may
very easily return TO its pristine con-
dition of diffusion as heat by a very
simple process. Every person knows
of gun cotton and how it is one of the
most powerful of all explosives, and
when a mass of it is exploded one may as
well try to gather it again as to collect
the unbeams and make solid substance
of them. 1t is, in fact, exactly similar
to the supposed lunatit attempt of Swift's
old gentleman who asked for patent on
a process for extracting sunbeams from
cucumbers, and if that versatile story
teller did not actually know of what he
was writing, and the actual fact that the
cucumb er cool as it is, had a quantity of
concentrated sunlight in it and warmth,
he only builded better than he knew
In the fact of explosion, the cotton aC-
tually returns into the air again just the
exact quantity Of heat it had gathered
from the sun in its production in the
plant, under the genial sun Of the sunny
south, where it luXuriates and comes to
perfection.
But, more curiously still, cotton is so
closely akin to sugar that the chemist
needs only to perform a very simple pro
cess to change it into sugar That is
done by simply adding a. little water to
it, and causing the water to enter into
combination with the cotton. This is
done by heat and the action Of sulphuric
acid. Cotton is almost pure cellulosc.
This is made up of twelve parts of carbon
and ten OF water. chemically combined,
and exists in the form of long. thick
walled cells, like tubes twisted into ibers
of a silky, almost translucent substance,
as is seen in the drawing of a fiber Of
cotton.
1t is TO this peculiar structure that this
material is so useful for clothing These
long cells contain air in the hollow cen
tiers, and when twisted into threads and
woven into cloth more air is collected in
the interstices Of the cloth, and thus
forms very elective non-tOnductor Of
heat But this clothing does not warm a
person, IL simply protects the body from
contact with the outer, always moving
air, and thus prevents the loss of heat by
radiation. The heat Of the body is pro-
duced within ii by the actual combustion
Of food, and as sugar is a highly carbona-
ceOus substance, and the almost sole
source of the heat Of the body, so it turns
out that the internal heat Of a person S
body may be produced and protected
from loss by this one substance-cotton
For it may, in fact, be used for food by
its transformation into sugar, and thus
be converted into heat in the system, and
1t may be used as clothing, and thus pre-
serve the heat it makes from waste.

Feuds Over, He Became Town MAR
shall Only to Be Shot Down by Tom
Tato, a "Bootlegger."
From the Chicago Herald.
Last Saturday night Tom Tate, Ken
lucky bootlegger, shot One-Eyed Andy
Johnson between the eyes and instantly
killed him. 1t occurred in Pineville, Bell
county, which is in that section Of the
country that was first travelled by Daniel
Boone, and which is more familiarity
known to the present generation as the
Cumberland Gap country
There was a dance, whose participants
were principally miners and their sweet
hearts. Pineville is one of the reform
towns in that section. The law and or
der league, of which One-Eyed Andy
Johnson was president, had sluelched
whisky in the town Consequently when
the dance was arranged Tom Tate was

BECK'S HOT SPRINGS.
A Company Incorporated With a
Capital OF $25O,OOO.

John Beck and those interested with
him in the Hot Springs property have
been figuring for some time on max
ing the springs into a firSt-claSs mod
ern sanitarium. Things have worked
round their way so that the project is
about to become an accomplished fact,
and very extensive improvements will
be commenced almost Immediately.
These will include the erection of a
flrst-class hotel, with all modern con-
veniences, the renovation and extern
sion of the bathing facilities, etc. For
this end a company has been formed
and articles of incorporation will be
filed today. The capital stock is $780,
900, divided into $500 shares of a par
value of 500 per share. John Beck is
president of the company, Gus Holmes
president, Frank Knox treasurer,
Walter L.. Beattie treasurer, who, with
Simon Bamberger, constitute the
board Of directors. The objects of the
company are stated as being to oper-
ate the springs as a. bathing resort, to
bottle the mineral waters and to utilize
the heat from the water for horticul-
tural purposes, and all such business
incident to the operation of a SAM
tarium, and to erect and operate a
hotel.
Car lines will be extended to the
springs and the bicycle track now I'M
der way will be completed at as early
date as possible. Work on these i'm
provements will he commenced right
away and will be pushed to completion
with all possible speed.

STILL SHORT ON FITTINGS.
Pump ut the Mammoth Not Yet Fore
ing Water.


Contrary to all expectations the
pump at the Cherry Creek station of
the Mammoth Mining company's new
water system is not yet forcing water
over the divide, the cause being the
lack of several fittings whose loss was
only discovered when the tests of the
machine were made. 1t is thought,
however, that within the next few
days everything will be in operating
shape.
F. E. Goodhart, representative of
the English stockholders of the com
pany, is still in the city and will prob
ably remain here until some time after
the first of the new year. The gentle
man is al authority on politics and
finances in England and yesterday
stated that sitter has no hope in Eng
land, for some years to come, at least.
The one great reason for this is the
lack of organiza ton and failure of
either of the great parties to take up
the question and incorporate a. favor
able clause in its platform. There is
steadily growing sentiment in favor
of the metal among the masses, now
ever, he says and a number of the
influential men of the nation have re-
Gently aligned themselves with the adj
vocates of bimetallism. There can be
no favorable legislation, however, I'M
til one or the other of the political
parties assumes an initiative. That
party will more than likely be the
Tory.

THE BARK GERMANIA.
She Arrives in San Frnnciscc-No
News of the Others.


San Francisco. Dec. 20.-The coal laden
bark Gern1ania, one of the eight sailing
vessels which was overdue between San
Francisco and northern ports, came into
rort this afternoon. When the German1a
came to anchor in the harbor she was
quickly boarded by several persons eager
for any information of the other missing
and overdue vessels. Captain Pearson
could give them no consolation: He had
seen nothing OF the missing coillers Mont
s,srrat and Keweenaw, nor had he sighted
any Of the seven sailing vessels which are
Considered to be overdue between San
Francisco and oregon. Washington and
British Columbia ports. None OF these
seven vessels however, have been longer
out than the Germania, which was eigh-
teen days from Seattle, ana IL is but reas-
enable to suppose that they have met
with no mere serious mlshaps than beteM

renort states that on December 8 in 45

tain Hooper reports that he went seward
twenty miles out of his course and though
he kent n man continually at the mast
head during the entire voyage, from
Neah Bay, the Rush saw no signs of any
vessels or yreckage. Were the Mont
Rush would undoubtedly have sighted
them. That the Rush sighted none OF the
missing vessels is not regarded as partic-
ularlv strange, inasmuch as they would
naturally stand far out TO sea in stormy

Hon. David Evans. Of Ogden, and E.
e. Loose, two of the former owners of
the Almo property in the Tintic district,
directly adjoining the group of the
Bullion-Beck and Champion Mining
company, and recently purchased by
the latter company for $150,000 were
in the city yesterday and during the
afternoon received a check from the
Bulion-Beck people for the neat little
sum of s22S42.76. This was the second
payment on the purchase price of the
Alnlo and makes 500, 442.76 received by
Mr.. Evans and his associates.l There
is now in the bank to the credit of the
Beck-Alnlo fund the further sum of
5000, which by the arrival of the
Goth day of January, the regular dis
tribution day, will more than likely
increased to at least $4,000. One half
of the amount now in the fund added
to that already received would more
than reimburse the Almo people for
their investment in the property. They
paid $4,000 to the original owners and
under the terms of the contract they
will make a. clear $115,000.
These payments are made out of the
monthly net earnings of the property.
which is worked by the Buliion-Beck
people, they receiving one half of the
earnings and applying the other half
on the purchase price of $150,000. just
at present the output of the mine Is
heavier than ever before and at the
present rate it will not require many
more months to clear off the obligation.
The property Is looking extremely well,
the ore bodies increasing in both size
and richness with almost every foot of
development work done. The Beck is
also in splendid shape with its produc-
ton also being increased.

GREAT Is THE DALTON.
New Ore Bodies Being ContiruaIIy
Opened Up.

Superintendent F. w. Schreiner, of
the Dalton Gold Mining and Millins
company, is in the city after an alb
sence Of five months. These months
he has spent at the mine and as a re-
suit of his good work the property is
now in admirable shape. A number of
new ore bodies have just been opened
up and during the entire winter a
large force of men will be kept to work
developing them. The rock-being taken
out shows well in both gold and silver
and the assays give rich returns in
these metals. The property is being
developed in a systematic manner
somewhat of a departure from the
methods in vogue under the former
| management.
The professor brings up good reports
of the Marysvale district and as is the
case with all who have visited it, holds
to the opinion that within a year a
greatly increased amount of gold will
be coming out of the camp. A number
Of properties are now being thoroughly
developed and new claims receiving
attention at the hands Of people whose
faith in the district is boundless. But
one of the three mills is now in opera
ton, but arrangements are said to be
making whereby the others will probab-
ably do something in the early spring.

it will serve the same purpose against

DOCKET FEES NOT PAID.
Status OF Twelve Cases AnDcaIe1
From the Police Court.

Status OF Twelve Gases Appealed
From the Police Court.
The clerk OF the district court yester-
day served notice on the city attorney
that the transcripts on appeal from the
police court in the following cases were
received by him, on the dates indicated,
and that the time for perfecting said
appeals had 1apsed by reason of the
appellants falling TO pay the docket
fees as required by law. The twelve
cases thus affected are those. wherein
Salt Lake city is the plaintiff and re-
spondent, and the defendants were con-
victed in the lower court for violations
of the ordinances, as follows:
William H. Waterman disturbing the
peace: July 5. 1890.
Aggie Gray. petit larceny; July Is,
1891
Joseph W. simons. assault and bat
terry; May 3. 1893
C. F. Bowen, vagrancy; May 8, 1893.
John Bvran. erecting building with

James, gambling; August 81, 1882
Rose Miller and Elsie Anderson, pros
tuition; August is, 1888.
All Lock ard Lee Ting, pedcling with
in restricted limits; August 81 1894. :
Robert Gardner, cruelty to animals
August 81. 1894.
J. E. Mulloy, keeping a dance house
September q, 1894.
The question: of how to proceed next
is one that the attorney has not yet
determined upon. One way would be
to enforce the judgements Of the police
court and the other would require the
payment of the docket fee in each case
amounting to 500 for all the cases. and
then the city could proceed against the
sureties on each bond to recover all
costs and penalties. One thing. how
ever, is certain and that is continued
dereliction in the city's legal depart
ment will result in the municipal
judicial mill being buncoed' and the
cheating of justice by, reason of the
fact that many of the defendants and
their bondsmen are now beyond the
reach of the officers Of the court.

WANT TO BUY SHIPS.
The Chinese After the Nictheroy and
the Audria.

New York. Dec. 20--A Chinese agent IS
in Washington negotiating with Senior
oIendonca, minister for Brazil, for the
purchase of the Nictheroy and the Aud
ria These vessels were fitted out IN New
YDlk under Mendonca's supervisory 70
aid the Brizilian government TO put down
MeEo's irsurgent navy. Peace now reign
ing IN Brazil, the ships are. lying idle az
Rio, or in some harbor to the south, ana
II is considered that President Moraes
would be glad to dispose of them, ms
present naval force being sufficient With
out this emergency squadron OF two. An
officer CT the Nictheroy has been APP
preached by the Chinese agent and asked
10 name the terms under which he would
navigate the vessel to Wei Hal Wei and
serve three months thereafter in the war
against the Japanese. He demandes $1,000
for the former and 5000 for the latter
service. The purchase of either or both
of the vessels would depend upon the en-
listment of several officers and part Of
their crews. This is why the Chinese
agent treats with Mendonca instead of
with the authorities at Rio.
The Zalanski dynamite gun on the
Nictheroy is the main reason why China
wants the vessel 1t served its purpose
in the Brazilian war by inspiring terror
among the insurgents rather than by any
real service. The Chinese agent thinks
