the Electrician Nikola fasla.
Mr.. T. g. Martin, editor Of The EIeo-
trical Engineer, writing on the work Of
the Servian-American electrician, Mix
ola Tesla, says;
Mr.. Tesla has advanced the opinion
and sustained It by brilliant expert
ments Of startling beauty and grandeur
that light and heat arc produced by
electrostatio forces acting between
charged molecules OF atoms. Perfect
ing a generator that would give him
currents Of several thousand alterna-
tions per second and ~inventing his dis
ruptive discharge coil, be has created
e~lectrostatic conditions that have al
ready modified not a few Of the accepted
notions about electricity.
II has been supposed that ordinary
currents Of 1000 or 2 1000 volts poten@
tial would surely kill, but Mr.. Tesla
has been seen receiving through his
hands currents at a potential Of more
than 200, 600 volts, vibrating a million
times per second and manifesting them
selves In dazzling streams Of light. This
Is not q mere tour de force, bat illus
trates the principle that while currents
Of lower frequency destroy life these
are harmless. After such a striking
test, which, by tho way, no one has
displayed q hurried inclination to re-
peat, Mr.. Tesla's body and clothing
have continued for some time TO emit
fine glimmers, or halos, OF spiintered
light. In fact, an actual fame 10 pro-
duced by this agitation Of electrostat-
ically charged molecules, and the Curl
Gus spectacle can be seen of puissant,
white, ethereal flames that do not con-
sumo anything, bursting from the ends
Of an induction coil as though Il were
the bush on holy ground.
With such vibrations as can be main
tanned by a potential Of 5000, 900 volts
Mr.. Tesla expects some day to envelop
himself in a complete sheet Of lambert
ere that will leave him quite uninjur-
ed. Such currents as he nov uses would,
he says, keep a naked man warm at the
north pole, and their use In therapeutics
Is but one Of the practical possibilities
that has been taken up.-Century.

Actors are curious folks, " observed
the calcium light maDipulator Of one Of
the up town theaters to a reporter the
other night. He was breathing upon
the reflector and then polishing Il care
fully with a wooden rag.
Curious in what respectl" asked the
reporter.
"Oh, they're queer creatures IN ev-
cry way" returned the other. fought
not l to knowl I've been everything
connected with q theater from usher to
scene shifter, but Lord preserve me from
being an actori They get more money
than most folks, but they never have a
cent. on the stage they're the biggest
cranks in the world, and on the stage
they're cranky enough, Lord knows.
Now, look at me and my profession, for
instance. Any one would think that
I'D be in solid with the actors, seeing
that / light 'em up in pretty poses anS
bring out the effective parts Of the
scenes. But, would you believe II, IL

fore the footlights kicks at me from the
chorus to the star and from the second
comedian TO the supe
There's zoo gray hairs In my head,
for which these s~erpentine dancers are
responsible. They're kickers with a
vengeance, on and of the boards. Now,
l guess l know more about the effects
Of lighting than they do, but whenever
they coine hopping on the stage I never
catch Fem soon enough 10 their notions.
When they swing around In the butter

for the eighth Of a second they're wild
with rage. It's their conceit, you know.
They want to look sweet 100 seconds to
the minute. Then they complain that

whereas it's the continual changing Of
their regulation poses that rattles me.
Then, when II comes to the chorus,
oh. myi II they had things their way,
the leading lady wouldn't be illumi-
mated at all. There isn't one Of 'em that
doesn't want me to show 'em up for q

It is a great mistake FOR people who
can at all afford to spend literally TO
practice economy in bard times. On
n occasion during the second empire,
when there was a great financial de-
preston, Louis Napoleon commanded
his ministers to open their houses and
entertain ~profusely, and the court cir
eles, taking the hint, began such .
round Of gayety that trade revived,
while the manufacturers, plueking mp
courage, opened their mills, and a crisis
was averted. Spending IS as much q
duty with the rich as saving Is with the
poor, and II takes both attributes to
make a prosperous oommunity.-New

Ar,.,l.n won, 10 south pnlot..

Mr.. Duncan McFarlano Of South Da-
kota was talking Of the great artesian
wells fed, It Is supposed, by snow from
the Rockies, following the porous sand
stone at q depth Of from 800 to 1900
feet below the surface Of the ground, and
told many interesting stories. He in
stanced one case Of a towns having
bored for water, and after hard work
having secured a we'll from which the
water would hardly rise to the surface.
One Sunday, though, the we'll broke
loose, and as the water flowed away I'M
der the snow Its course could be marked
by the steam rising into the air. The
water made its way to a farm a few
miles from town and there settled. The
owner came post haste to town, and
consulting a lawyer was told that he
had q first rate basis for damages.
The suit was instituted. The snow
disappeared, the water had been con-
trolled finally by the town, and the
farm remained q great mudbank. The
farmer was almost In despair, but final
ly decided to put In a crop anyhow.
Hot weather came. and the country suf-
fered for rain. That mudbank contain
ed a sufficient deposit Of moisture, and
the crop was In hne condition. The
farmer made his way again to town.
Say, JIM" he remarked to his at
torney, "how Is that suit getting
along"
"Oh, It Is coming along ell right, E"
was the reply, but l believe he court
will deduct the amount OF the damages
from the price Of your crop and award
the rest Of your profits to the town. -

TIE b~itterest opponents of New
Mexican statehood in Washington
have been the republican members
Of congress. The infamous re-
publican minority report Of the
house committee on territories of
a few year ago is still wildly re-
membered here. No vilero on more
outrageous SANDER was ever utter
ed on a people than this ropubli-
can official report. which was inten-
ded 10 prevent our admission
TO statehood. This antagonism Of
tho natioal rep ublican party to
New Mexico and her people
was again shown last Monday
week when the fibustering tacticl
Of the republicans in congress
again defeated the bill for the ad.
mission Of this Territory.

THE old law which requires the
payment to the sheriff of each
county Of Zoe. a day for feeding
prisoners has been one of the
heaviest financial drains which
New Mexican counties are having
to endure during the present hard
times. The amount was totally
out Of proportion to the cost, and
the LIST Legislature conse-
quenSly amended the law as follow
For FIVE prisoners Soc. per day
each; for all over ten prisoners Csc.
per day for each prisoner for every
day fed. This law will come into
effect only on the 1st of next Jan
nary. Great as will be the saving
from this change the price should
be put lower yet At the peniten-
tiary at Santa Fe the cost Of feed
ing prisoners amounts to only tic.
per day-considerable less than
half what 1t will cost this County.
The feeding Of the prisoners
shorii be put down to actually
what it costs and should not be a
source OF profit to the sheriff.
The counties are overburdened
with Unnecessary expense, and this
is one of the ways in which our
next Legislature can aid us.

The great prize In the Spanish Ma
tional lottery was won by a butcher at
Saragossa, who seems to have borne his
stroke of fortune in a very proper spirit.
His total gain would have amounted to
about $3.50, 900 had he taken the whole
risk himself, but be had split up his
ticket among a couple Of hundred part
ners in varying proportions, 5 that his
own share Is not so considerable. How
ever, he generously gave e400 TO the
Official who paid the money, and $500
to a blind man who shouted out the
lucky number at the door Of the Office,
his next care being to distribute meat
gratis to everybody living in his quar-
ter OF the town. Not a few stories are
told in the Spanish papers as to the ef-
feet on different individuals Of this sud
den bit Of luck. One of the benehciAriea
was a nurse in the family Of a poverty
stricken infantry captain who rarely
paid her wages. On the receipt Of the
$40, 600 that fell 10 her share she at
once handed the amount over to her
master, exclaiming, You shall not
know want after. today. We can all OF
us live on the money. Paris Herald.

The editor of the Silver City
Enterprise confidently informs
his friends that ne is going to
print an article showing that the
present board county Commission
ers have expended more money
than any board hat has ever had
charge of the affairs of Grant
county.-Liberal
We do not know where the Lib
eral got its information or what
grounds it has for making the
statement but asamattur Of fact the
statement that the present board
of county commissioners has ex-
pended more money than any pre-
vious board is wholly false. In
1891 the board spent $81,845. SO,
in 1892 the board then managing
Grant Couuty's affairs spent $50
1883. whilei the present board
spent S73, 1880 last year. Sc
that not only has the present
board not spent more than previ-
Gus boards but has spent less by
$1,000 than was spent in 1891, and
less by nearly So 00.t than the board
of 1892 spent. Phe present board
therefore deserves the thanks Of
the taxpayers for the economy dis.
played by it instead Of the abuse
and misrepresentation which it il
receiving.

curlDr Cobra nits with s.ryehnlns

Some alleged instances Of cures Of
cobra bite are reported from India, but
there Is always the doubt that In the
''recoveries" reported there was really
no poison injected, for the cobra does
not inject poison every time It bites. II
Is stated that some cases Of cobra bite
have been cured by the hypodermic in
lection Of stTychnine, and full details
will be awaited with interest, for It is
possible that s~tryohnine may be antag-

IL is discarded in the United

The power of the Court to pun
ish for contempt is sum mary and
without appeal, and therefore very
dangerous. 1t is granted only to
protect the Court from such acts of
insult and disobedience as would,
If persisted in, make the discharge
of its functions impossible. 1t
should not be exercised for any
other purpose, aud when it is it be-
comes tyrannical and oppressive, a
thing against which the manhood
and self-respect Of Anglo-Saxons
cry out. Will any sane man
claim that the publication in the
case above referred to was of kind
which must be suppressed at all
hazards if Courts are to be main
tanned and justice administered? |
On the contrary no one but law
yer would ever imagine it to be an
offence at all. The average man
is at loss to understand what is
complained of. tits to be hoped
that the ruling of the Court will
not be upheld in any future case
which may arise. If unfortunately
he Courts should establish the
doctrine that publications of this
nature are punishable by summary

axe the matter up aid pass laws
which shall suppress the tyranny
