The Dfvinfng Rod.

Now let the divining rod men take

front with a divining rod to locate met

IL operates on the principal Of the
compass. The needle is attracted, and
not only the presence but the character
and extent Of the magnetic ore below
the surface are indicated. By the aid
OF the ore finder Mr.. Edison located
the deposits of ore in the New Jersey
mountains and bought miles and miles
of the wild land for very little.
When Edison was on the Comstock
years ago the writer asked him what
he thought Of the proposition Of locat-
ing ore bodies with an instrument.

his reply. EVERY atom in nature has
it's affinity. The needle is drawn to-
ward the pole by some secret attrac-
ton. That is the principle, and | will

under ground. A man who laughs at
the diyining rod is simply a d

THE SALE OFF.

j. A. Yerington informed a Reno
Gazette reporter that the sale Of the
group Of mines in Silver Star district,
which he had about concluded with
Senator Walcott of Colorado, is off.
Seator Wolcott wanted to pay $780,
600 and the balence when he worked
it out Of the mines.
While Mr.. Yerington is q little dis
gusted over the outcome Of a trade
that he had every reason to believe
was based on sound business princi-
Piles with business men and has done
much work to bring capital into the
district, he is by no means discouraged
and the Wolcott iuke will rebound in
advantage to the men who own the
property. Very valuable discoveries
are being made daily and instead OF
the group which comprised the sup
posed sale being worth $500, 900, the
syndicate who buys it will have to pay
81, 200, 900 for it now. Mr.. Yerington
has other strings to his bow and will
succeed in bringing in a million or
more fresh capital to the district be-
yond a doubt, for Jim is too good q
rustler to be sat upon by Wolcott or
anyone else.

Do Flies TaIkf

An ingenious inquirer, armed with q
microphone, or a sound m~agnifer, has
been listening patiently through long
hours to the curious noises made by
house flies, and reports his belief that
they have a language of their own.
The language does not consist of the
buzzing sound we ordinarily hear,
which is made by the rapid vibration
of their wings in the air, but of a
smaller, finer and more widely modu-
lated series OF sounds, audible to the
ear only by the aid Of the microphone.
Probably this fly conversation is per-
fectly audible to the fly ears, which, as
every schoolboy knows who has tried
to move his hand slowly Dol them,
are very acute. The hope is expressed
that, since the heretofore inaudible
whispers Of flies have been detected
and recorded, some inventor may con-
struct a microphone which will enable
us to make out the language of the
microbes. and 30 surprise them in
the horrible secret of their mode OF
operation .-London Public Opinion.

Bonaparte's Last visit TO Corsica

Bonapsrte's Last visit TO Corsica.
Prof. Sloane, in his Lille OF Napo-
leon," writing Of the return from
Egypt, says:
"At last a favoring wind began to
blow. With lights extinguished and
at night, they passed the strait which
separates Africa from Sicily, escaping
the observation of the English cruisers
sent from Nelson's fleet to patrol those
waters. Sinking Sardinia, the iotilla
reached Corsica early in October.
Though, as he declared, he was deeply
moved by the sight of his native
town." no remnant Of his early en-
thusiasm could sweeten for Bonaparte
the enforced delay Of several days in
the harbor OF Ajaccio. He had left
far behind the emotion Of that primi-
tive society, and was Indifferent to the
Astounding caIesses Of all the friends
who crowded the decks TO see him,
evidently fretting to be gone. One
fact alone has been recorded to his
credit his features relaxed with evil
dent Joy as he tenderly returned the
greeting OF the old woman who had
been his earliest attendant. It was
his last visit to the island of his birth,
but not the last time the accents Of its
dialect fell on his ears, for it was a
Corsican who soothed his last hours at
st. Helena. Century.

Terrific storms.

Severe storms prevailed in the west.
ern country on the 9th and 9th ms.
Some places were swept by tornadoes
and others were deluged by rain. The
loss Of life is great and the destruc-
ton of property almost incalculable.
Buildings and fences were blown
down and scattered by the wind and
in some places swept away by the
floods. The town OF Winona, on the
Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis
road, was destroyed and a dozen lives
were lost. The rain fell in torrents,
flooded the streets and houses top
pied oyer, the scene resembling q
shipwreck on the ocean.
Baxter Springs was also laid In
ruins, more by wind, however, than
by water. though heavy rains, resem-
bling a coudburst, followed the tor
nsdo. Five persons were killed in the
village and a number Of persons seri'
ously injured. Great damage to crops
by the wind and rain Is reported from
various places in Missouri. Arkansas,
Indian Territory and Kansas. Build
ings and fences were blown down
trees uprooted and crops destroyed
and their owners in many instances
killed or crippled.

in question. One Of them, seeing
that he was losing the race, when

On the other hand they were surprised
at the magnitude and excellence of
the programme. Beginning at sun
rise with the booming cannon at the
Preside, the air resounded throughout
the day and evening with the explo-
sion OF giant ~irecrackers and the sput-
tering of rockets. The parade which
took place in the morning was the
greatest event OF its kind that ever
was seen in that city. Two hours and
a quarter were required for the pro-
cession to pass a given point. The
display Of fire works in the evening
was interfered with to some extent by
a dense fog, but the exhibition was
nevertheless sufficient to attract an

Rohert Cnrnox. formerlv Of Nev

Robert Curnow. formerly Of Nevads
county, California, but recently en-
gagged at the Treadwell mine, Alaska,
has received a favorable offer to 20 10
South Africa. He said 10 a San Jose
reporter: "Some time ago | received
an offer from the same people l have
been working for, to take charge Of a
mine near Johannesburg, South
Africa. IL is a long distance and a
very severe change OF climate from
Alaska to Africa, but the inducements
held forth were so tempting that / de-

which | am to take charge OF there is
a very different kind from the one /
have been managing. The African
mine is underground, and the ore will
run about s45 a ton." The induce
ment held out to Mr.. Curnow to take
the management Of the African mines
is a salary of $1,000, about 10000 a
year with house, board, servants,
horses and almost everything else that
would tempt a man to spend money.
The company also promised to pay his
passage both ways if he should desire
to return to Alaska within two years.

HoRsELEss vEHICLEs.

The week has witnessed a very in
teresting race between horseless We
hicles. The actual starting place was
Versailles, though the course was
nominally from Paris to Bordeaux and
back-a distance of about $50 miles.
The only conditions were that the COM
peting vehicles must be propelled by
some sort OF mechanism, j. e., not by
horses or by human action. Bicycles,
that is to say, we're only admitted il
driven by petroleum or electricity. The
stakes were e1, 400 for the first prize,
e600 for the second aud e3O0 for the
third, f12 for each Of the four next.
The start, in Indian file, was made on
Tuesday at II o'clock, about thirty
carriages competing, and two minutes
being allowed between each. 1t was
not expected that any carriage would
get back to Paris before Saturday, but
one OF them actually reached the win
ming post on Thursday afternoon at l
o'clock. The distance was thus ac-
complished in a little owe ~ffty-eight
hours, the rate Of travelling about if
teen miles an hour. This is an as
tonishing performance, and promises
great things, though of course fifteen
miles an hour could never be allowed
on public roads under ordinary condi-
tons. The victor carriage, which ar
ries two people, was propelled by pc
troleum, which seems, for all light
work, TO afford the best motive power.
One can hardly doubt that the horse
less carriage has very great future
before it.-London Spectator, June 10,
