A Prospecfor's Kick.

John Ellis, of Olive Camp, Is in the
city, having returned from Harqus Hala
mining district. where be has been doing
assessment work upon some gold claims
in the vicinity of Golden. Mr.. Ellis is
not altogether pleased with the charges
along the road for feed for animals and
other etceteras. At Florence the livery
bill for one team over night was $40,
and the party owning the team must
furnish their own grain. At Mesa bacon
costs more than turkey, being quoted at
fifteen cents per pound. The Mesa
people charge 80 cents a small bale for
bay, and yet the ranchers haul it to
Phoenix, distance of fifteen miles, and
sell it at the rate OF i've bales for
dollar. At Harrisburg grain sells at
$3.50 per hundred, and hay costs s1.25
per bale. At Smiths Mills hay sells
81 per bale, while water is charged for at
the rate of 1919 cents for every head OF
stock able to drink. Mr.. Ellis expresses
az opinion that the merchants at the
places named did not come to Arizona
in search Of climate and health.

Death of Blanchard.

The following account of the killing
OF Engineer Charley Van Gorder Blan.
chsrd, who was killed in the recent rail-
road accident near FL Paso is taken from
the Ell Paso Times.
There was fatal wreck on the South
ern Pacific railroad Fine miles west OF
FL Paso yesterday morning at about Oils
o'clock. Early yesterday morning q
heavy double deck freight left this city
going west. At Rogers Station the
double decker had fifty minutes to make
the top of the hill and Engineer E. Love
on the front engine believed he could
make the climb in that time and so in
formed the conductor. The freight crew
had no idea that there was construc-
ton train just ahead. The construction
train was also going west, but the en-
CINE, with Engineer Blhndchsrd and
Fireman Connerdy in charge, was on
the east end pushing the train.
A heavy fig prevented the trainmen
from seeing far ahead and the freight
was plunging along at q good speed
when suddenly Engineer Love SAW the
construction trains flsgman right under
his engine. He turned on the air brakes
reversed bis engine and commenced CIV
ing her sand. But the f1sgman was
only a short distance behind bis train
and in a minute the front freight en-
CINE smashed into the construction
engine. Engineer Love and Fireman
johnson saved their lives by jumping
as did also Engineer Shanshsn and Fire
man Sslter, who were on the rear freight
engine. Engineer Love had one wrist
and his right leg broker. Fireman
Connerdy, on the construction train,
saved himself by jumping but Engineer
Blanchard was not quick enough and
was killed. His head was crushed to
jelly aud ne was mangled and burned by
the escaping steam.
The three engines were complete
wrecks and fourteen freight cars were
thrown II the ditch and the track torn
up for some distance.
Charley Van Gorder Blanchard, the
engineer killed on the 8. p, was born
in Virginia City, Nevada, in 1868, his
father, Hank G. Blanchard, being one
Of the pioneers of the Comstock, as we'll
az of Bodie, near where he now lives.
Van Blanchard, as he was generally
known, WAS formerly engineer and
machinlst for his uncle, John W. Shaw,
at the Santa EulaIis mine, near Chihua-
hua, and then went on the Mexican
Central until few months ago. He has
a younger brother, Bill Leet Blanchard,
who IS a traInmen on the M, q. out of
Juarez. The parents OF the deceased
live at Bodie, Cal.

WHY FROST EXPANDS WATER.
Scientists Are Still Puzzled Over the Well
Phenomenon

Known Phenomenon.
One of the most curious natural phe-
nomena, and one which has never yet
been explained by the philosophers,
is that in reference to the expansion
of freezing water. The case of water,
says the st. Louis Republic, is a singu-
lar exception to all natural laws of
expansion by heat and contraction by
cold, which apply in cases of all other
known liquids. When water is freez-
ing it contracts in bulk down to the
point where the mercury reaches the
reading of 1914 degrees, or ~ de-
grees above freezing, from which point
it slowly expands according to the
intensity of cold. No other liquid is
known to possess this remarkable prop
erty, except that certain metals expand
slightly in passing from liquid to a
solid state. But if heat be applied to
water after it has cooled down to 4
temperature of 1914 degrees 1.-THE point
where it is ready to begin expanding
should greater degree of cold be ap-
plied) it will Immediately expond by
the universal law. But should we low
er the temperature to 80 degrees it will
expand by its own special law. An
other curious point to be noted here is
this: That the amount of expansion
is as great in water lowered from 39%
degrees down to 80 degrees as it is in
water that has been heated so that the
temperature runs up from 391s to AZ
degrees. These points are certainly
odd and curious and worthy Of atten-
ton and experiment.

A MYSTERIOUS LEAK.
1t Was . Worm Hole In the Keel of the
Sailboat.


There was a man had a Connecticut
river boat built, which cost him S235,
and she was a beauty. She could 90
quite nicely and the man was pleased
with her till he found she leaked. "Oh,
WE'LL" said he, that's easilyremedied."
So he looked her all over for the leak.
He couldn't find a crevice. He filled
up several places that he thought might
have let in little water, but it didn't
do the least bit of good. He gave it up
finally and sold the boat for S35, and
thought he had the best of il at that.
The fellow who bought the craft,
says the New York Herald, knew she
was a fast sailor and he had an idea
that he was smart enough to find that
leak, but it wasn't long before he began
to think maybe he wasn't such sue
cess as he might be. She leaked just
the same regular amount all the time.
One Sunday he made up his mind he
would find that hole if he never came
back. He took her out and, after she
had shown that she was in good leak
ing form, he beached her. After the
tide went down he went all around her,
listening as a doctor listens for lung
trouble. lie heard sucking noise
about her keel. He got down on the
under side and in the timber of the
keel was worm hole in the wood. 1t
had been there when the beam was
shaped. 1t probably wound around
like a letter and to look for it on the
inside would be something like hunt
ing a needle in haystack. He stuck
q match in the hole to see how big it
was. 1t just fitted. The match broke
off and he let it go at that. She has
never leaked a drop from that day TO

PARIS USES LOTS OF ICE.
The Germ sharps Say Natural Ice Con
tains Bacilli.

The Germ sharps Say Natural Ice Con-
tains Bacilli.
Among the first of the many curious
things that impress the American sum-
mer visitor to Paris is the way the
French have of doing out ice as if it
were diamonds, and the horror which
Parisians profess for the American
custom of icing their drinks and there
by impairing their digestions, says the
New York World. Notwithstanding
all this the consumption of ice in Paris,
especially for domestic uses, has in.
creased rapidly during the last few
years. and if it continues at the same
rate it will not be long before it sur
passes that of New York. The last
twelve months show a total consump-
ton of over 10000, 900 pounds.
Most of the natural ice used in Paris
is taken from the lakes in the environs
at Chaville, in the woods about Yer
sailles and ST. Cloud, and even from
sheets of water in the Bois de Boulogne
and Vincennes. Ice is made artifi-
cially in large quantities, however. and
is sold at a much higher price than the
natural article. Natural ice, indeed.
the Academy of Medicine says. is full
OF bacilli in a state of suspended ANNA
ton. and the doctors recommend that
only artificial ice be used for domestic
purposes.
The highest-priced ice comes from
Norway and from Switzerland, where
il is gathered from the glaciers and
from the mountain tops. This costs
from % to 30 francs a ton. Artificial
ice costs but trifie less, but that which
is gathered in and about Paris is sold
from nine to ten francs ton. The
city of Paris harvests the ice in the
lakes in the Bots de Boulogne and
Vincennes, and sells the crop, safely
packed in the municipal ice houses, for
$4,000 francs, or about 81 900, annually.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1884,

''Going into Decline" How often do
We hear this expression. What does il
mean? 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact food does more harm than
good because it fermeDts and putrefies
in the stomach, developing poisonous
substances which when absorbed cause
various disorders.
What is required is that the stomach
be made to perform it's duties. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial ia q food al
ready dlgested and a digester of foods as
we'll. 1t will make the stomach healthy.

Bicycle Fire Engine.

In Paris is to be seen fire engine
propelled by cycling firemen. The ma
chine has the appearance of two tandem
bicycles coupled with a single steering
post. Hanging between the two bicycle
frames are the hose reel and rotary
pump. The whole outfit weighs less
than 140 pounds, and four experienced
wheelmen can push this along faster
than any other FIRE engine ever went.
The foot power of the four men propels
the machine to the scene Of action, and
when once there the same power pumps
the water. After the arrival at the scene
each man is assigned to some part of
the duty Of making the change. One
raises the back of the machine Oh leg,
allowing the rear wheels to revolve
freely. He also throws the pump into
working order, and the others have un-
reeled the hose and made the coupling
connections. Then, jumping into the
saddles again, the energies of the men
are directed to pumping About 4,500
gallons of water per hour can be thrown
between rs and 100 feet in the air. The
rapidity with which the machine can
be propelled to a fire and also with
which it can be put into action are its
two great advantages. In two or three
minutes after its arrival all necessary
changes can be made and the machine
is pumping stream over the roof.
