The forked switch OF witch hazel must
retire into desuetude. Electrical science
has entered the field Of divination and It
promises to beat the old augurs at their
own game with natural means and with
out the pretended aid OF divine
affiatus. What might be called a
divining rod. though it isn't a
rod at all. has been perfected In
England, ana there IS no doubt about the
fact that il will point out the hiding place
Of concealed treasures provided they are
in metal and the instrument gets near
enough to them to bring them within
the magnetic field
The invention is technically known as
the McEvoy deteotor. 1t Is based on the
principle Of Dr. Hughes Induction bal
snce. II consists of an electrical ar
rangement in sman mahogany box. A
telephone Is attached to the coils IN the
box. When the trailer" approaches "A
mass Of metal-steel. iron silver. gold.
OF any other metal-the equilibrium OF in
duction is destroyed and sound becomes
audible In the telephone AS the trailer
approaches or recedes from the metal
mass. the sounds become more or less
audible as the case may be- The principle
of the sound is the same as the hotter
colder" warning in the child's game OF
hide the switch" Anybody can operate
the thing. and even layman can I'M
derstand that its divlnations are more
reliable than were those of any hazel
switch ever cut
The apparatus is a present employed in
submarine work, and one wreck that
had treasure on board-that Of the Rus
sian steamer Rusalka which went down
in the Gulf Of Finland a year ago-has
been located and divers have taken all
the valuables out of the hulk. Tor sub
marine work a metal snker on a long line
takes the place Of the trailer that is used
for land work. From the brief descrip-
ton given. it can be seen that the appa-
ratus is one of great value, and that it is
likely TO play an important part in con-
nection with future disasters at sea. And
indeed, it may add interesting chapters
to the history of past disasters. For in
stance, that famous wrecked English war
vessel in New York harbor with its mill
lions in gold in the hold, may be located
and the gold added to our rapidly decreas-
ing stock through the good offices of this
new magicians wand. Again, the Nc
Evoy detector may discover the secrets
of those famous buried treasures of Capt
Kidd and John A. Murren

Cigars are not now passed around among
the men after dinner in the New York
swell set. Word has arrived from Sand
bingham palace that II. r. H., the Prince
of Wales, passes pipes and tobacco at
that point in the dinner, when heretofore
cigars have been the rule-because the
prince likes pipe better-hence the New
of George Nanderbilts dinners recently
meerschaums were distributed. AS the pipe
becomes the property of the guest. this
newest English fad will be a bit expensive
to the host; but the dealers in pipes will
never kick. At any rate the more money
that is paid out for pipes. the more of it
there win be put into circulation.

A Foolish Experiment.
From the Phnadelphia Leager nnd.

BY bitter experience the people of Idaho
have discovered that they cannot accom-

the legislature of that state thought to

all obligations should be payable in either
gold or silver no matter how the contract
might read. But the effect was not as in
foisting on them a deprecated metal in

Here is an object lesson for misguided
people who fancy that standards of value
can be made and unmade~bX legislation.
Two years ago the young state of Idaho
passed an act giving its citizens the right
making void all stipulations for payment
in gold alone. What was the result? The
silver men derived no. benefit capitalists
withdrew their money from the state,
its citizens found their credit gone, and
legislature has now been compelled to re-
peal the foolish law. A nation is only

The Brooklyn strike has done some good
to persons not connected with it, at any
rate. The Union Elevated and the Kings
County Elevated roads have, since the in
auguration of the strike, increased the
wages Of their employees twice, the first
increase being 25 cents a day, and the
second one 10 per cent of the daily rate.
The increase in the travel necessitated
extra work on the lines mentioned, and
the companies made the advance in pay
by way of compensation. 1t is said the
advanced rates viii be maintained by the
companies even after the settlement of
the trolley strike if the roads business
warrants it.

The presentation at Helena by Buff
falo Coat, Cree Indian, OF his daclar3-
tion of intention papers ii worthy OF
some comment. They were issued iii
this county several years ago upon an
opinion by e. ID. Weed, then United
States district attorney, that IL was
proper they should issue. Subsequently
he changed his opinion and since then
nothing has been heard Of the matter.
The idea was that he was foreign-bcrn
but resident on United States soil and
did not come within the regulations by
which the native Indian is governed
and consequently, like other Foreigners,
had right to apply for citizenship. OF
course the declaration Of Intention does
not give Buffalo Coat any uf the rights
Of citizenship, but it does seem that
they should not have been granted The
Immigration lawe Of the United States
were then in force, and they provide not
only against the landing Of pauper emf
grants but also for returning them TO
their native land. These Creea, claiming
to be refugees, are simply 4 band of pau
per, vagrant vagabonds. No one of them
has done any work for "a living since
they crossed the border, and they have
only existed upon what they can borrow
or steal during their migratory journeys
through Montana. How to get rid of
them has been perplexing question to
the state and federal authorities, and it
is yet undetermined. Why not spnly
tho alien pauper law to them and drive
them back to Canada, where they be-
long?
