Wheat has gone up to SO cents at
railway points in Northern Idaho and
Eastern Washington. Shortage of
crops in Europe and Asia has caused
this advance but the goldbugs are
using the incident for all it is worth
and more too, to prove that the price
of commodities is not governed by the
price of silver.

AN ELEVATOR THAT
TURNS THE CORNER.
Two Tracks in the Well and a
String of Cars.
The Lift Takes You Upstairs and
Then Down the Hal ways.
A New York Device.

Something entirely new in the construc-
ton of elevators was recently patented
by John r. Hamilton of New York. 1t
comprises a system whereby there Is a
constant string of elevator cars up and
down the same well, if needs be, each one
working entirely in harmony with the
others. The inventor, in describing his
elevator. says:
"My improvement, while OF very gem
eral application, relates more especially
to an organization of passenger lifts for
lofty and capacious structures. l pro-
vide a pair of vertical trackways, each
furnished with pair of guide-rails and
with two pairs of racks. OF these
trackways one is used exclusively for
up and the other for down travel. The
trackways communicate with each other at
the top and the bottom, and the arrange
ment is such that a series of cars ascend
ing in procession along the up track
will be turned as they reach the Top OF
the up track and shunted over to
the upper part of the down track,
while, when they successively reach
the bottom, they are returned to the
first track. Each car carries its own motor
(electric), the gearing of which meshes
with the racks in the elevator shafts. The
cars are also so arranged and connected
that they cannot approach each other near
enough for collision, as upon such near
approach they are autom atically stopped
by the making of an electric circuit, and
only move again when the interval be-
tween them IS increased.

absolute cost to them can be quickly esti-
mated. From these figures can be acquired
an intelligent idea of the immensity of
such job, and an examination of these
results, which are called the units of the
Oregon" will prove interesting reading.
First of all is the cost of labor, and a
close computation shows that there were
3,2SS, 600 hours spent in building the great
ship, and that 32S, 800 days of ten hours
each were consumed in her construction.
No less an amount than 10, Ia, ,562 pounds
of construction steel was 1sed, aud in ad-
ditiOn COZ, 100 pounds of brass, 916,96O
pounds of wrought-iron and S12 7l2 pounds
OF castiron was used. 1t took 534, 500
pounds of rivets to fasten all her plates to-
gether and 81 600 pounds of copper pipe
was used for her steam conductors. The
Oregon is an ironclad, but the large guam
tity of $50, 900 feet Of lumber had to be used
TO finish her flooring and cabins, and Incl
dentally 100000 feet of common lumber
was consumed for scaffolding, blocking,
staging, etc.
The sides of the Oregon are additionally
protected by coffer-dams filled with cellu-
lose, and of this material 1866 pounds
were used. If all of her big guns were
fired at one time the shots would weigh,
all together, $500 pounds. Her engines, of
which there are 106. develop a power of
11,000 horse, and to rush her through the
water at seventeen knots the propeller
must make 130 revolutions each minute.
The Oregon will have four great search
lights, which will make everything visible
within a radius of five miles, and each will
project glare equal to 10000 candle
power. Her keel was laid in November,
1891, but owing to the delay in furnishing
the plates the constructors trial did not
take place until August, 1894. The final
trial trip occurred in May, 1896, She will
be turned over to the Government fully
equipped for war on the 9th of July next.

A Wave Power Prophecy.

1t would be safe to make stupendous
prophecy for the people of 1850 to realize.
1t is that the tides of the ocean on both
sides of this continent viii be used to
transform power into electricity and send
it half over the country to be utilized in
manufacturing. Mechanicians have many
a time remarked that if the power pro-
duced by the rise and fall of the tides and
the currents of rivers could only be util-
lied there would be enough TO run all
the factories in North America, with
enough to spare to send a balloon to
Mars if there was any way of steering tt
there Now scientific men have seri-
ously set about experimenting with a
view to getting hold of that power. Ger
tainly machinery can be invented in
this age of mechanics that will turn wheels
alike when the water of the tides rises and
when it falls. 1t is only a question of
time, and not 50 very long time either,
when this will be done.

THE DISCOVERY OF
A SAN FRANCISCAN,
Frederick H. Johnson the
First to Make Nickel
Hold Mercury.
The Story of the Building of
the Oregon Told in
Numbers.
Over Three Million Hours of Labor
Expended in Completing the
Big Battle-Ship.

For many wears it has bee n the belief
that nickel was a metal that would not
hold quicksilver, and when Frederick H.
Johnson OF % Stevenson street visited a
prominent platter in this City ana asked,
"Cau nickel be coated with quicksilver"
hew at once informed that it could not,
and that experiment after experiment had
failed to bring about such a result.
Mr.. johnson is a mining engineer, who
in his spare time makes experiments with
rebellious ores. He took from his pocket
a scent nickel, and laying it before the
individual he had questioned asked,
''What would you call that?"
The man to whom it was presented ex
amined it carefully, held 1t to the light
and continued to examine it for many
minutes and at last said: "Why, that's
plated with mercury, but if l had not
seen it with my own eyes 1 would not
have believed it." as he returned it.
'It was a pure accident" said Mr.. John
son, when asked in regard to the process
by which he accomplishes that which it
was oelieyei could not be done. "a pure
accident. I was making an experiment
with a coin in two different solutions, and
had dipped It in each without effecting
the result anticipated. As l was taking
it from the last one in which had placed
it. it slipped and fall into a solution of
mercury. When picked it out OF that, to
my great astonishmeut l discovered that
it was plated with mercury, or in other
words, that had stumbled on the process
OF making nickel hold mercury. Expert
ments with other pieces of nickel produced
the same result as was produced on the
coin.
Being engaged in mining [ can only
say as to what advantage this discovery
can have in mining, and that is in con-
nection with batteries in mills. In each
mill there Is at the bottom of the battery
large sheet Of copper, silver-plated for the
purpose of holding the mercury, that is
used to catch the gold that comes from
the ore that is crushed. In five-stamp
such a plate will cover a space a little
more than sixty feet square, and these
silvered copper plates have been the 0aiy
ones that could be used for the purpose
a nickel plate that viii hold mercury just
as well as the plates now in use can be
produced at half the cost, and in mills
where there are a number of batteries
it will make quite g difference in the cost
OF construction, seeing that the silvered
copper plates cannot be procured under
81 a square foot.
"As 1 told you, contine myself to my
specially, and for that reason at this time
am unable TO say if my discovery will be
OF value in other branches. That l will
leave for others TO determine"

The Oregon In Units.

Generally speaking all that the public

the United States war vessel Oregon is that
she is 348 feet in length and weighs-coal,
armament, crew and everything else includ-
ed-a total of TO- $50 tons, and that the con-
tract price to the Government was SO, 228,-
900, but few stop to consider the enormous
totals that are involved in the construc-
tivn OF such monster. The contractors,
who have to closely figure on the cost of
such a vessel, keep account of every item,
however small, and from this data the
