price for threshing grain in which the
thu esher furnished everything, that from
eight to ten cents a bushel was proper
price. DR.. Bigelow stated that from two
to three cents bushel was paid i'll Kan
sas. where the thresher did not furnish
ANYTHING, and from six to eight cents
bushel where he furnished everything
The average number of bushels, he stated
tn, eshed in a day of oats was about 1000
of other crops, from 200 to 800 bushels.
The club was of the opinion that white
corn was the best adapted to poor

Nevada Coal.

For many years the opinion has
prevailed that there are no coal mines
in Nevada 1t appears that mon pro-
Tossing to be biologists gave it as
their opinion that the formation pre-
cluded the possibility of coal mines
being found in this State. Now
practical miners are refutinp
the theories of the scientists. At
present the Nevada Central Railway
Company has eight men at work on a
coal mine in Crum Canyon, near
Battle Mountain, and the prospects
are favorable for the development of
extensive coal beds. In Esmeralda
county, not far from Columbus. coal
mines have been discovered and the
coal is being used at Columbus and
Candelaria for domestic purposes.
A lump Of coal, which experts say
is of good quality from the Esmeralda
mines, was brought to this office some
time ago, and can be seen here. 1t is

Decimal Clocks,

The latest i'll clocks and watches is
distinctly original. 1t comes from
France, says the Westminster Ga
zette. The suggestion is that the dec
imal system should be adopted for
clocks and watches, bidding gooc-oy
to our old :1enGs II and - O'CLOCK
entirely and to divide the face of the
clock into ten instead of twelve sec
tons. This system is now used by
the geographical bureau of the
French army and it is urged that it
dlmlnishes the labor of calculation by
6Wo-thlrds and lessons The chances of
mathematical error from four to one.
The following is an outline of the
rules OF the decimal system as applied
to timepieces:
The day, from midnight to the mid
night following, is to be divided into
100 equal parts, known as Sees.
The subdivisions, according to the
decimal plan, are adecices," or tenths,
-cenuces, or hunGfeo.ths, smillices.
or thousandGhs.
One of the main divisions. the sees"
is equal to fourteen minutes and
twenty-four seconds, or almost a
quarter of an hour.
This, say the SCIENTISTS, is the easiest
possible system, but the
poor lay mind. we are afraid
will not quite agree with such con
conclusion, and 6 a. M. sounds as vet
Tar more acceptable than % ces, its
equivalent.
