The Greatest Smokers.

Caricaturists in depicting n German
are in the habit of putting n big pipe
in his mouth. The pipe IS national,
indeed, but the Germans as nation are
far from icing the greatest smokers.
They do not smoke more than French
men, Russians, Swedes or Hungarians.
The men of the United States and the
men of Switzerland are the most in
vcterate smokers on earth. In these
two countries the consumption of to-
bacco per capita is three times greater
than in Germany. At the same time,
we also raise more tobacco than any
other country on the globe. British
India comes next, producing nearly as
much as we do.

A Bank Commission.

Would it not be well for the next
Legislature to pass law looking to
the better protection Of bank deposit
ors? AS the laws now stand there ls
absolutely no protection to people do
ing business with banks. beyond the
officers say SO. Every State in the
Union has laws looking out. for. the
public interest but Nevada, and why
should this State be left at the mercy
Of dishonest bank officers, if any
there be? There are nine or ten
banks dong business in this State be-
sides Sc veral private institutions do
ing banking business and the gen
eral public has no protection what
ever beyond the mere statement Of
the bank officials themselves, regard
ing their. standing. The people of a
commonwealth have rs much right
to know with whom they are doing
business as the banks, and the Ga
zette thinks that the next Legislature
should see to it that some kind /of a
law is passed looking to the better
protection Of the public. The com
mission could also look after the var
ious county treasures of the State
and save the work and expense of a
Grand jury committee investigating
county officers. We shall have more
to say regarding this important sub
ject from time to time until the gavel
falls on the Presidents desk of the
next Lcgislature.--Ren Gazette.

about 900 feet long. ON Il reel, having
one-end fastened to Il thin, sector
shaped piece of wood. called log.
The arc Of the log is loaded to make
it stay vertical when tossed into the
sea: it then remains i'll the same
place lis supposed toy in the water
while the line is winding from we
reel. The line is divided into equal
parts of fifty feet each called knots or
1-120th Of ii nautical mile. Since half
a minute has the same ratio to ali
hour that knot has to a nautical
mile, the ships run at the rate of as
many Dautical miles an hour as it runs
knots in half minute. If, say,
nineteen knots pass in half minute,
the vessel is then running at the rate
of nineteen miles an hour.
