told him there was a man on the train
by the name of Hood and pointed him
out 10 the officer, Rev. John Hood, a
prominent U. p. minister Of Boston.
Wilkinson approached the Rev. Hood
and without more ado clapped a pair 90
handouts on him.
MIR. Hood demanded an explanation,
but the constable shook his head and
told him that explanations would be in
order when lie reached the lookup. The
reverend gentleman tried TO explain,
but to no avail. Prominent citizens
then expostulated with the officer, and

TO END NAVAL WARFARE.
An Electric Submarine Torpedo to Destroy
the Staunchest Vessels.


Oakland. Cal, August 13.-Charles
McDermOtt is perfecting an electric sub
marine torpedo, the invention OF DR..
Cross. of Chicago, which he says Will
ultimately put an end to the marine wor-
fare. With his torpedo, he says, few
men could keep Off the combined nayies
of the world. The torpedo will be COM
pleted within a week. 1t will then be
taken to Goat Island, where a secret eX-
pertinent will be made. An old iron
hulk is TO be floated and the torpedo VIII
be sent down below the surface oil the
water on its errand of destruction. MI.
McDermOtt is confident that the new IN
vention viii instantly scatter and sink
the hulk. He says that no warship, how
ever strong, and formidable, can sur
Vive a shock from his torpedo.
About the first Of September pubic
exhibition will be given. BY the use
Of electricity with combinations OF pow
erful explosives, Mr.. McDermOtt says he
can destroy the stanchest vessels.
Dr.. Cross. the inventor, recently man
ufactured and patented new explosive
more powerful than dynamite. He made
ARRANGEMENTS to sell it to China, to be
used IN the war with Japan. With his
explosive ne crossed the Pacific. but his
secret had been divulged, and the Japa-
nese government notified the federal au-
thorities at Washington, who enjoined
with him from making further negotia-
tiOns with the Chinese government. The

You can tell live business man by
his advertisement in the paper. People
should patronize those who show will
ingness to patronize other industries in
town. A man who does not advertise
is like boy who went to town with a
sack OF fish to sell. When he returned
home in the evening his father asked
him how he had done. "Did'nt sell a
darned fish," said he nobody asked
me what was in, the sack. Another
boz, a much brighter one went to town
the next day. He took a big horn along,
and first he would blow deafening
blast and then he would yell "Fish, fish
for sale" and soon he had sold them all
and went home with an empty sack and
a pocket full of money. A live mer-
chant always toots his horn and yells.-

Nevada boasts of a remarkable phen

Nevada boasts of a remarkable phen-
'omenon in the shape of a musical noun
sain which gives free concerts every
evening after dark. This mountain is
silent in the day time, but as soon rs
the air is quiet, sweet bell-like tinklings
may be heard proceeding from its face
and continuing Internationally until day
break. After considerable investigation
it has been decided by scientists that
these sounds are produced by the shift
ing of thin flakes of crystalized rock
which cover the sides Of the mountain
and are moving slowly toward the base.
The musical mountain is situated on the
Truckee river near Pyramid Lake, and
was first discovered in 1893 by a party OF
mining prospectors.

SATURDAY, -. MARCH %, 1895.

To the tourists or capitalist who is in
quest of investment, scenery and pleas
ure-pleasure that will develop brain
and strengthen muscle-we say--stop In
Nevada, visit our mines, quartz mills and
mountain scenery, investigate the fertil-
ity Of our hills and valleys, go fishing In
our mountain streams and lakes. To the
immigrant or home seeker with small
capital we say--now is the time for you
to build up home and surround YOUR
self with the requisites to comfortable
old age, and the place TO obtain this is
Nevada. There are no greater induces
ments offered than here. The people OF
this State are generous, peaceable and
law-abiding; the climate is the most
propitious; the resources immense, and
there are comparatively no paupers.
There are but few States in the Union
that hold out better inducements to in
vestors of small means than Nevada,
and when this fact is fully appreciated
her present dormant condition will be
changed to one of activity and hustle.
The East and the West recognizes the
fact that we produce the very best OF po-
tatoes, the latest and juiciest of meats,
the clearest money, an nnexcelled quail
ity OF flour, and, in fact, thst anything
bearing the Nevada stamp is of excep-
tional worth, and are calling upon us
daily to furnish them with the necessi-
ties for a comfortable existence Gazette
