The Old Pesthouse.

a cw weeks ago we noticed tba,
the Old pesthouse had disappeared,
ahd' after making inquiries In regard
to 1t, learned that Commissioner
Rigsby had sold it for $40 and paid
the money into the county treasury.
As there has been considerable talk
about the sale and the authority of
the Commissioners to sell propertv
belonging to the county, we publish
the following clause OF Section 1919
oil the General Statutes OF Nevada:
~Ienth-To soil ut public auction

ticc lin the same manner ms reon;rod
by law for the sale OF like PROPERTY
on cxecution), and cause to be con.
veyed any property belonging to The
county, .appropriating the proceeds of
such sale To the use OF the same"
The records OF the Board are silent
rs to this transaction. No order was
made authorizing the sale OF the pest,
house and no public notice OF the sale
was given. Had the sale been adver.
tized' us the law requires, the public
would not now be asking ugly CUES.
tons about it and the proceeds might
have been more than ten dollars.
The amount received may have been
all the old building was worth. but
whether it was or not, the Commits.
sioners violated the law in selling it
at private sale.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SOLDIERS.
Discoveries That Have Lately Been Made

Discoveries That Have Lately Been Made
in the Tomb OF Assiut.
Mention was recently made in for
eign exchange ofuthe discovery of the
tomb of Assiut fifth dynasty of wood
en- models of two companies of Egypt
ian soldiers. Each company consists
of forty figures about thirteen inches
high, fixed to wooden board in squads
of four. The figures are colored and
have the loin cloth. They are equipped
with spear and shield. The spears are
as long as the men and the butts car
ried on level with the knee. The
bronze heads are about one-siXth the
total length Of the spear, and are
shaped like those Of the Baggara Arabs
of to-day. The shields have square
base and come to point, and are
eight inches long. Across the narrow
portion is batten, through which the
hand passes. The second squad are
biack-skinned, smaller men, and wear
scanty loin cloth. Their arms are
bows and arrows, and the arrows
tipped with flint, with edges chisel-
shaped and the tips not sharp. The
Egyptian contingent marches in reg
ular order, ''locked up;" the negro sol
diers- -straggle. The latter must have
been the irregulars, because to use the
bow and arrow must have required a
loose formation.

WHERE DIALECT RUNS WILD.

Specimen of the Argot In Use Among Aus
tralIan sheep shearers.
If the specimen of Australian dialect
which Gilbert Parker gives in the Idler
is fair sample of what we may expect
when dialect writer's begin to work up
that country, we have not yet seen
the worst. Here is a little story which
reads like missing word puzzle
or cipher telegram: ''Tell We 'ow it
was. I toddles off to the shed, pulls
down me tongs, 'auls out bloomin'
papillion, and was goin' down the
whippin' side, both blades 'eavily load
ed, wen the boss drops and shot me
dead. I takes 'op skip an jump
back to the 'ut, put two folds in the old
shirallee, sings the 'og ide on the tall
crocodile, goes up the river like frog,
sits down along sleepy Jim's muster
and strips hundred and forty by four
o'clock next" And here is the inter
probation which Mr.. Parker is kind
enough to furnish us:
''This is how it happened: walked
off to the shearing shed, took down my
shears, hauled out sheep, and was
clipping down the right-hand side with
all my might, when the manager came
and discharged me. went back to the
hut, folded up my blanketspu the sad
die on my horse, galloped up the river,
stopped at Sleepy Jim's sheep pen and
shore hundred and forty by four
o'clock next day."

What Ouerns Are.

The quern is among the oldest and
most primitive of mechanisms for the
grinding of grain. There is a fixed
stone and above it rotating one.
There is a hole in the middle of the
upper, or movable stone, into which the
grain is dropped. A stick fixed into
the upper stone permits of it being
moved around. A wooden spindle runs
through both stones 1t is good ma
chine, but useless to-day. Neverthe-
less, the quern. with but very little va
riations, precisely as it was used in pre-
historic times, is made and sold and
grinds its grain to-day in the Orkney
and Hebridian islands, What patent
four~making mill of the present day
would cost we do not know, but a few
years ago good quern could be made
in Shetland for about one dollar.

Correction of Wrong Impressions About
tho White Mountains of the Ocean.

CofrectiOn OF wrong Impressions About
tho White Mountains Of the Ocean.
The only two varieties that are worthy
OF consideration, owing to their impor-
tance, are icebergs and ice foes, says
Home and Country.
The icebergs are originally simple in
form-just huge hunks of ice. They
are entitled to the name of 'berg," or
mountain, only because they appear as
such when floating on the fat surface
of the open sea. When seen close to
the mountainous, rock-bound coast of
Greenland, close to where they have
been thrown off by the glaciers, they
look remarkably small and insignifi-
can't. Roughly speaking, they are
about as large as house, and vary in
size about as much as houses do. To
be more accurate, few are over one
hundred and fifty to two hundred feet
in height, and icebergs reaching a
height of three hundred feet are ex-
ceptions.
The bergs of northern seas are not so
broad and long as these of the Antarctic
ocean, the latter not infrequently COW
erl.ing surface of over a square mile.
The former therefore look like huge
blocks, rather than the huge fragments
of ice plateaus of the southern polar
seas. furthermore, the southern ice
bergs appear to be composed of two or
more strata or layers of ice, and are far
clearer than their northern sisters, on
account of their freedom from foreign
matter and the purity of the ice which
composes them. These distinctive fea-
lures are not SO prominent in the old
bergs which have been partly melted
and broken away by the water.
The porous glacial ice of the bergs is
about one-seventh lighter than sea-
water, and only one-seventh of its bulk
juts above the surface of the water. 1t
must not be imagined, however, that
an iceberg one hundred feet high
reaches six hundred feet below the sur
face. This would be the case if the
berg were an exact geometrical figure,
which it is not. 1t is one-seventh
of its bulk that appears above the sur.
face, and not Of its height. The part
under the water-the remaining six.
sevenths-may be made up in width
and breadth, rather than depth, as in.
| deed is generally the case.
