Heuey's Big Deposit.

The Reno Gazette has the following
regarding the Mint examinations:
CARSON, April 30.--The Mint in.
vestigation is dragging it's weary
length along before United States
Commissioner Il. J. Edwards. II. r.
llofcr, :he superintendent OF the
Mint and Chief Clerk during the
Wright administration, was on the
stand yesterday. He testified that
the spurious melt Of which so much
has been written, was OF full weight
and value when he turned the Mint
over te his successor. Mr.. Adams, and
If it had not been he is certain it
would have been so discovered. Mr..
IfOfcr is Cashier OF the Bullion and
Exchange Bank, and stated that some
time before June, 1892, prior TO which
date expert testimony shows no short
age could have existed, Jones had to
his credit i'll tho bank something like
S2l, 900, made up Of checks, money
and stocks.
Hi. Beck was also called to the
witness stand, and testified rs to the
bullion, etc, brought to him at the
Reno Reduction Works by IIcncy,
tho first of which was on August IA,
1893. lIc had disposed OF s12,177
worth for lIeney, but the latter took
some OF the bullion away with him
and personally disposed of it.
On August %, 1893. Hency sold to
tho Reno Reduction Works granulat.
ed gold. for which Mr.. Beck paid him.
just how much was involved in the
August 2Sth transaction has not been
brought ont, but on that day Hcncy
deposited with the First National
Bank OF Reno. for which he took GER
tiiicatcs of deposit. s5,3l7 81, in live
different certificates, ono for S1,3l7 81
and the other four for $1,000 each.
Tho certificates OF deposit all bear
date Of August 90. 1S93 and are num-.
bercd consecutivcly 1925 2G-2T-2S-
20.
Mr.. Beck testified yesterday That
llcncy told tho Reduction Works pco.
pic, that the gold came from mine
which he WINS operating near Silver
City, and no did not caro- TO huvo the
owners of the mine know how valu
able il wns, hs they would want to
work il themselves.
Shortly after that IIcncy severed
his connections with the Mint, he
moved to San francisco. where he
loaned money and led lifc Of COM
parativc ease. llc also took several
mortgages on property in Wnshoe
and Ormsby counties from which
no clipped his interest bearing cou.
pOna.
g. II. Bender, Cashier of tho First
National Bank Mt Reno. was put upon
tho stand this morning and testified
as To IIcncy's transactions with his
bank.

Mondays Election.

The returns from Weiland, La.
moillc, Sprucemont and Tecoma, re-
ceived last night and to-day. will be
found in the table. The vote, so far
rs reported, stands 332 for to 100
against, a majority of BOB for the high
school.
South Fork, Mound Valley, Hunt
ington, North and South Ruby, in the
Southern district, and Island Mount.
ain, Mardis, North Fork and Colum-
bia, i'll the Northern district, are still
to hear from.
South Fork, Mound Valley and
Huntington will return n majority
in favor OF the high school and moro
than offset the majority in North and
South Ruby and Fort Halleck against
it.
This leaves over 200 majority for
the high school to be overcome in
Island Mountain, North Fork, Mar
dis, Mountain City, Columbia and
White Rock. The combined vote of
these precincts will not be over ninc.
ty and if all should be against the
high school it would still have ma
jority Of over one hundord. 1t is
safe to say that the majority for the
high school will be at least $50 when
all the returns arc in.
LArER:-Since the above was put in
type tho returns from Mound Valley
and Huntington we're received.
Mound gives 2l votes for tho high
school ard none against, and Hunt
ington gives IL for and 4 against.
The vote now stands 3G7 for TO 133

Hearing with the Fingers,

There is said to be in Indiana boy
who hears with his fingers. When
he was nine years old he had very
serious illness, which left him prac
tically deaf. For long time the poor
little fellow led most unhappy life
because he could not hear what was
said by others; but one day, several
months ago, while his mother was
conye=sing with a visitor, he hap
pened to place his hand ON her throat,
and observed that while his hand
rested there he could hear perfectly.
Later on he tried the experiment with
others and discovered that, by MAX
ing use Of the sense OF touch in the
ball OF the fingers he could mako up
for all that which he had lost by the
trouble which had befallen his cars.
The result is that he is much hap.
pier lad than he ever expected to be
again, although he finds it awkward
in some cases to have TO put his fing-
ers OH the throat OF his friends who
happen to be talking with him.

FOUR HUNDRED BELOW ZERO.
Curious Eject of such Temperature on
Iron and Colors.

Curious Eject of Such Temperature
Iron and Colors-
Four hundred and twenty-four de-
grees Fahrenheit below zero! Just
what this means It is almost impossible
to imagine, and yet, says Casters Mag
azine, it is one of the temperatures
which have been reached and used in
laboratory research, and has been made
the subject of some highly interesting
experiments and explanations by Prof.
Dewar before the British Royal institu-
ton. Four hundred degrees below
zero is not an everyday temperature,
nor can IL be reached by more every
day means than the expansion of liquid
air, which latter Prof. Dewar has sue
ceedcd in producing in comparatively
large quantities, and in storing by
novel and ingenious methods, to be
used as required in the study of
matter at abnormally low tempera-
ture, exactly Us n spirit lamp or Bun
sen burner is used in studying the prop
critics of different bodies ut the higher
temperatures. The tensile strength of
iron at four hundred degrees below zero
is just twice what it is Mt sixty degrees
above. 1t will take strain of sixty
instead of thirty tons to the square
inch, and equally curious results have
come out us to the elongation of metals
under these conditions. 1t was an idea
OF Faraday that the magnetism in n
permanent magnet would be in
creased Mt very low temperatures,
and experiments with comparatively
low temperatures had rather mega
tived Faraday's suggestion, but Prof.
Dewar has completely verified the
opinion of the famous savant, having
shown that n magnet Mt the extremely
low temperature made possible by the
liquid air had its power increased by
about fifty per cent. Very low temper
ature was shown also to have remark
able effect upon the color of many
bodies. For example, the brilliant
scarlet or vermillion and mcrcuric
iodidc is reduced under its influence to
pale orange, the original color return
ing with the rise of the temperature.

THAT'S WHAT UNCLE SANS COLLEGE

Good, This Year Better Yet.
The United States Naval War college al
Newport Is great institution, and IL is ex.
pected by those in charge and the officers
who are this year stationed there that the
work done in 1896 will be more important
In every way than that of any previous
year. The college was practically founded
In 1881, when Admiral Luce took formal
possession in the name of the United States
of Coasters lIarbor island, till then within
the corporate limits of Newport and still
with that beautiful pleasure city
by short wooden bridge. Before that
time this island had been used as a refuge
for the city's poor, but IL was then ceded
to the national government by the state of
Rhode Island that training school might
there be established for naval apprentices.
The training school still exists, but 1t
has been developed into one of the most
important places Of naval instruction In
the world The youngsters learn how to
