The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1895-12-04

Travellers in Peru and countries whera
cocoa grows chew the leaves Of this
plant for the purpose Of allaying the
sense OF hunger and the feeling of ez-
haustion that accompanies it. AT first
the leaves were thought to possess food
elements, but now 1t is known that the
cocaine they contain merely allays tbs
irritability Of the nerves that produce
the sense Of hunger.
Cocaine is All alkaloid made from
the cocoa leaf, which has the effect Of
completely destroying the sensibility Of
nerves. The discovery of this active
principle OF the cocoa leaf explained
fully aud satisfactorily the effect pro-
duced by chewing the leaves An infu-
sion OF tho leaf might be used with
good results in allaying the gnawing
appetite that follows some forms of fe-
yer, or in cases where the sense of hunger
ia due to a diseased condition Of the
stomach.
Cocaine should never be used except
on the prescription Of trustworthy
physician, because it is dangerous The
cocaines habit is more readily formed
than either the morphine or the liquor
habit and is far more rapid in it's work
Of destruction. -Pittsburg Commercial

Could Not Mako Tibet.

Mr.. Wilson relates an amusing story
Of an officer who determined to enter
Chinese Tibet by stratagem. This off,
Ger managed to cross the frontier at
night, and SO escaped the frontier guard.
Next day, however, while he was jour-
neying deeper into Tibet the Tibetan
soldiers overlook him and informed him
that as the country was unsafe, because
of robbers, they would go with him in
order to protect him, to which arrange
ment the traveller was compelled to
agree. In a few hours they came to a
river, which was crossed by a rope
bridge The Tibetans passed over first,
in order to show that the bridge was
safe, and then the officer got into the
basket and was pulled along by the lib
etans. Suddenly, however, they ceased
pulling and left the nglishman hang
ing in midair above the rushing torrent
In vain the traveller shouted to the
Tibetans to pull They merely smoked
and nodded their heads. The hours pass
ed, and still the officer hung above the
torrent. At last the Tibetans agreed to
pull him back if he would promise to
leave Tibet Immediately. This Of
course he was compelled to do and took
his departure from the forbidden land.

Color and Emotion.

It was not by accident that violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning, and by us also for
half mourning. Painters suffering from
hysteria and neurasthenia will be in
clined to cover their pictures uniformly
with the color most in accordance with
their condition of lassitude and exhaus~
ton. Thus originate the violet pictures
of Manet and his school. which spring
from no actually observable aspect Of
nature, but from subjective view due
to conditions of the nerves. When the
entire surface Of walls in salons and art
exhibitions of the day appears yelled in
uniform half mourning, this prediction
for violet is simply an expression Of the
nervous debility Of the painter. Con

Derivation Of Fad.

The derivation of this word is posi-
bly, traceable in the Welsh language. By
the law Of mutation of initial conso-
nants peculiar to that tongue the root
words ffedd and medd are convertible
terms. Their essential meaning is pos
session; transitive or intransitive, pos
session of something, or the act of being
possessed or engrossed by some occupa-
tion Or vice. Welsh medd, and Irish,
Sanskrit, and English mad, have SINH
lar meanings and are probably kindred
words.
The word mad is not common in
Teutonic idioms, SO that the Anglo-Sax-
ons probably borrowed it from the
Welsh. Fad is therefore equally deriva-
BILE from ffedd. Fortunately, of course,
it comes from the midland dialects and
ultimately from some root word COM
mon to many members Of the Aryan
family of speech. 1t would be strange
If the two words, mad and fad, having
q similar meaning, should be traceable
to the same root Notes and Queries.

Doctors Bills.

The Chicago Tribune publishes an &C.
count Of an interview with a member of
q firm in that city whose business con-
sists chiefly in the collection of doctors
bills. He was asked if the majority of
patients paid their accounts and said
shat they did not. From this it would
Be inferred that in Chicago over one
half Of the patients failed to pay their
doctors fees, a statement that is extraor-
binary and improbable. We believe
that in most American cities from 20 to
80 per cent Of the fees charged are paid
and collected. and probably larger per-
centage would be obtained if doctors
rendered better service or managed the
business side of their profession in a
more rational manner. Medical Rec

In her article on THE Myth Of the
400," in Cosmopolitan, Mrs Burton
Harrison tells Of an American calling
upon lady in London and finding her
seated in big chair by the window en-
gagged in some sort of needlework. A
young man came in and paid his re-
kpecrS, IS it was her day at home, and
then bowed himself out. Three years
later the American was again in LON
don, and again he called upon the lady.
It was her day at home, and there she
sat in the same chair by the same win
dow with the same needlework, or some
very like it, in her hand, and, more re-
markable still, the Same young man
called and made the same remarks he

Will Venture Their All on q Horse Race

tan Indian horse race is the greatest
and most important event of the year tc
the tribes who participate in it," said
Ramon Thornton Of Cheyenne to re.
porter. ut is totally unlike our equine
contests, for, to begin with, there is
only one race, for which it takes months
and weeks to arrange the details, and ]
must tell you that the average Indian is
remarkably good matchmaker. do
not think I ever saw race that was not
productive Of close, exciting finish.
"As soon as the day is set for the
great contest every man, woman and
papoose of both tribes assemble at the
appointed place, bringing all their
worldly wealth to support their cham
pion. When the day of the race arrives,
several large pa1ticolored blankets are
spread upon the ground, at either side
of which the warriors and chiefs Of the
opposing tribes range themselves, while
behind are the chattering squaws, each
bearing the treasures of her liege lord
The head chief of one side generally
makes the first bet. Silently and with
stolid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket, often even going so far as
to add his much priced rifle to the
whole. The leader Of the other side then
places articles of similar value beside
the first heap. A grunt or nod. and it
is bet. So it goes down the line, wa
gering being conducted with a gravity
that BELTS the occasion, for each tribe
knows that its opponents will bet all
they have got. Even little groups of
ponies are led off to one side and bunch
ed together, and that means that the
loser will walk many weary mile
through binding alkali dust before he
sees the tepees Of his people. But there
is no haggling, no disputes, no excla
nations of surprise or chagrin at the re-
suit. 1t is impossible, as far as any out
ward demonstration is concerned, to
distinguish the victor from the van
quished, and in that respect think the
American Indian stands alone among
the nations of the world. Atlanta

The tallest chimney was built at

highest chimney in the world (45i
feet, and one of the loftiest masonry
structures in existence. 1t il, indie.

specimens of substantial, well-made
brickwork in existence. In Europe
there are only two church steeples
that exceed this structure in height
namely, that OF the Cologne Cathedral
$40 feet), and that of the Strasburg
| Cathedral (46S feet. The great Pyra-
mid Of Tizeh was originally $50 feet,
although not go high at present. The
United States outtOps them all with
high, and the tower Of the Philadel-
phia public buildings, which is So
feet high.
The Eiffel Tower, at Paris, France,
surpasses all other terrestrial metal
structures with its altitude of nearly
1000 feet. The "Great Tower" for
London, England, in course of con-
struction from designs OF Mr.. Henry
Davey, G.. F., will Outtop all metal
structures, being built Of steel, and its
extreme height will be / ,25O feet when
finished.
The highest and most remarkable
metal chimney in the world is erected
at the imperial foundry at Halsbrucke,
near Frieberg, in SaxOny. The height
OF this structure is 1926 feet, and l5.74
feet in internal diameter, and is stu
ated on the right bank Of Nude, at an
elevation Of 2l9 feet above that of the
foundry works, so that its total height

left bank Of the river, and the furnace
gases are conveyed across the river to
the chimney on bridge through q
pipe 1927 l-2 feet in length.
The highest artificial structure in
America Is the water-works tower at
Eden Park, Cincinnati, Ohio. The
floor of the tower, reached by elevat-
Ors, is 522 feet above the Ohio river.
The base is 4O4 feet above the stream.
If the height of the elevator shaft be
added to the observation floor, the
grand total height is $50 feet.
The highest official building in the
world is the Manhattan Life Insur-
ance Company of New York city; its
height above the sidewalk is 3i7 feet,
and its foundations go down 50 feet
below tidewater level, making a total
of 400 feet. The foundations consist
of fifteen masonry piers, and are car
ried by the same number Of steel cais-

cantilever system was used for the
foundations.-Exch
