MINES AND WATER POWER.
Objects Of the Thought aud Effort Of
Men in the West.

San Francisco, July 29.-The Chronicle
says there is revival of mining in all the
Pacific coast states and territories, and
particularly in California. Reports of
increased activity come from all the min
ing centers, which are of character to
indicate that the improvements in the
great industry are of a permanent char
acter. Investments of eastern and foreign
capital are noted, and an increase of con-
tidence is shown en- all sides. Gold mines
are being sold, new ore being developed
and old workings being reopened. 1t is
not alone in the mining of precious metals
that activity is seen, but in the working
of the abundant valuable mineral deposits
throughout the state. The utilizing of
water power to generate electric force is
a new factor which is bound to play an
important part in the development of the
mining industries of the coast.

The Scotch Golf Caddie.

With the development of golf
comes tho development of the cad
die, who is one of its principal adj
juncts. In America he is still the
small boy with no special peculiari-
ties to distinguish him from others.
In Scotland he is as much Of an in
stitution as the player himself. He
has grown up on the links and is the
guide, counselor and friend of the
player whose clubs he carries. One
of his principal qualifications there
is that he should be able to conceal
his contempt for your game. He is
ready with advice, reproof, criticism
and sympathy, always interested,
ready at critical times with the ap-
propriate club, and if need be with
the appropriate comment. He is as
anxious for the success of his side
as if he were one of the players. His
caustic remarks are borne with
equanimity and his contemptuous
criticisms with the submission they
deserve. - Henry E. Rowland in
Scribner's.

Common Errors In Speech.

The verb to get is one of our much
misused words. It means to acquire,
win, obtain, and primarily it signi-
fies the putting forth Of effort to at
tain something. Consequently it is
not only super6uous, but incorrect,
to speak of a man as getting drown
ed or getting sick, and you may,
unfortunately, "have a cold" but it
is impossible that you "have got a
oold." At this moment no excep-
lions occur to the writer to the rule
that got should never be used in
connection with have, which alone
sufficiently expresses possession. Say
II have the picture" not II have
got the pictures" "The dog has a
broken leg" not 1.-THE dog has got
a broken leg" The irregular verbs
lay and lie arc frequently confound-
ed. Lay is an active or transitive
verb, and lie is passive Or intransi-
tive. We lay things down Or have
laid them down, but we and things
lie at rest. You lie down, have lain
down, will lie down or are lying
down; she lay down yesterday and
is going to lie down this afternoon.
A frequent error is to confound the
past lenses of these verbs. One
should say, MARY laid the book on
the table and lay down herself, but
the book lies on the able.-Demo-
rests Magazine.

The Largest Derrick.

In the Tayntor granite quarry at
Barre, VT, is what is said to be the
largest derrick in tho world. The
dimensions given show q mast of 80
feet height, hold by ten guys, each
running out about 200 feet to heavy
anchorages, and the boom can swing
around circle 142 feet in diameter,
being built, like the mast, of phe-
nix columns, such as arc used in
structural iron work in buildings.
The loads arc hoisted by means of a
steel wire rope / ia inches in dame
ter, tho boom itself being handled
with o similar rope Of three-quarters
of an inch diameter.
Over mile of steel ropo is said to
have been used in rigging the dor
rick, its weight, exclusive of the
ropo, reaching about so, 1000 pounds.
It is operated by means of hosting
engine, and so skillfully are all the
parts designed and adjusted that a
pull of 100000 pounds at the end OF
the boom will revolye the whole ap.
pliance when the boom is horizontal
and loaded with 81 1-2 tons. The
derrick is said to have been tested
with q load Of 81 IL tons, although
designed for tho carrying of only 40,
and in case of the ropes being heavy

ratus has sufficient strength, it is

Natural History Logio.'

A celebrated trainer says, Ami
mails are never forced to execute at
the command and will of the trainer
any movements which are not nat
ural to them in the free state :"
Monkeys love to swing in the trop-
ical creepers; therefore they are
placed ON trapeze. Goats seek
pointed rocks; hence they are nat
ural equilibrists. Dogs instinctively
rise on their hind legs, SO they are
taught to maintain themselves in
that position. A trainer is guided
by the forces Of fesr, devotion, hun
ger and habit. There is one fact
which no one would suspect-that it
is easier to train an adult lion taken
in a snare than an animal born in q
menagerie. The civilized lion would
soon be spoiled Tor work, and the
Inherent deviltry would break forth
with awful disaster.

A Fable of the Springtime.

Once upon a time tho sun and the
wind disputed as to which was the
stronger.
Presently a wayfarer approached,
and to settle their differences they
agreed that superiority should be
conceded to that one who could pro-
duce the most marked effect upon
the man.
"Oh, won't do thing to him, ="
remarked the wind and blew vio-
lently.
But the wayfarer drew his coat
more closely about him and tossed a
ball or two of Medford.
"Now watch me-, said the sun
and shone fervidly, whereat the
wayfaror thought it was spring and
changed his fannels.
Whenever thereafter the wind be-
came boastful, the sun had but tc
point to q little mound in the church
ward. -Dotroit Tribune.

ALEXANDRIA LA, WEDNESDAY MAY 80 1895.
PEACH TREE DISEASES.

A Simple Expcdient Which Is Claimed to
he Wholly Effective.
Some years ago gentleman resid-
ing near Cincinnati created sensa-
tion by what he regarded a new
method Of keeping peach trees
healthy All that he did was to pile
up earth about the trees, the mound
reaching up to the branches. It took
several carloads of earth to make
these mounds, and the little orchard
had tho appearance of bushes grow
ing out of the top of the conc CT
earth. Every one used to look on
and laugh at the thought Of burying
up the trunk of tree in order to
make it healthy, but there were the
trees and undoubtedly models of
health. Those who saw simply stated
their belief that it was only coin
cidence, and that the trees would
probably have been as healthy with
out the mound of earth as with it.
Since it has come to be we'll recog-
nized that many of the diseases of
plants, not merely of the peach trees,
but of other trees, are caused by tho
mycelium of minute fungus at
lacking the roots it is not at all un-
likely that this mound of earth opor-
ated beneticially by preventing the
growth of the fungus which preys
on the roots Of trees. It is now we'll
understood that all plants of lower
order of vegetation which wo know
as fungi will only grow under Pc
culiar combination of circumstances.
Among other things they must be
very near the surface of the earth,
and if buried to tho depth they
would be under mound it is unlike
ly that fungi would find q satisfac-
tory homo.
Some will say right here that they
thought burying up tho trunks of
trees and covering the surface roots
with earth was destructive to health,
but the burying by itself is not the
reason trees die when earth is piled
over them to q considerable depth,
but from tho fact that tho young
growing roots do not got air. These
young growing roots arc almost all
at the extromities, and tho mound
of earth around tho trunk would not
in the slightest degree injure these
outer roots. Whenever valued tree
is somewhat buried, it is customary
to leave a space around tho trunk,
perhaps building dry wall, to keep
theearth from getting near the trunk,
but this is not that the earth is in.
furious, but to give chance for wa
tor to flow freely down into the soil,
and tho flow of water always leads
to q flow of air following the water.
These remarks arc suggested by
an article in an agricultural paper
stating that the apple borer and
peach borcr havo boon kept out Of
the trunks of trees by making a
mound of earth around the trunks.
