4 Distinguished Arizonan.

Judge Stanford of Kingman, A T., is
 in the city. A few years ago Judge
 Stanford was a resident of this city, and
 he expresses himself AS surprised and
 delighted with the remarkable meta.
 morphosis that has taken place in the
 city.
 Judge Stanford is magnificent speci
 man of manhood, standing over six feet high and with a military bearing and dignifed mien. Juige Stanford has come to Los Angeles not for pleasure,
 but for surgical assistance m order that his life might bs spared. He is suffering from an aneurism of the suSclayian artery, and the pain is most intense The sffiction is also dangerous one and frequently is attended with serious and fatal consequence. But Judge Stanford bears up under his sufferings heroically, and to see him sitting down at the desk in the reading room at the Nadeau Hotel, one would not imagine that he was sui- fering excrucisting tortures.
 Judge Stanford has host of friends in this city, and they are doing their best to assist him in his illness. He is ao optimist of the most decided character and hopes for the best.
 Judge Stanford has watched the de. velopment of the territory and has great hope in her future prosperity. He said is no use talking but Arizona is bound to become one of the leading sec tions of the country. Her resources have been bu; merely scratched IL has min. eral and metallic possibilities beyond any idea or conception that generally obtains it. Look at the growth of KingDan and the other towns. They are phenomenal. In ten years from nov they will be slmost miraculous. The in Arizona is strongly for sil yer, and as silver and gold are the two great products of ihe state, it can be easily understood that the people are conversant with the question. The poi icy of the Express meets with the ap proval of every Arizonan, and no Los Angeles newspaper meets with such a cordial reception as the Express. In nearly every msn reads 1t. The people of Arizona are progressive and enterprlslng and realize the possi bilities oi the country"
 Judge Sanford is literary man and nas written some very interesting things about Arizjna. He has in preparation \ book on the territory which will be ex interesting, AS it de ils with the people and country as seen by one of them. A good desl of meaningless rot has been written about the territory Jndge Stanford is getting along we'll and his physicians hope there will be no need of heroic remsdies.--L. A. Express.

Preparations are under way for the ere. ation in Cincinnati of stupsndous engi. neering novelty. It is intended to carry passengers from Ssdsmsville, directly over the Ohio river, to Lagoon Park, and the startling feature of the scheme IS that the transport cars are to be lifted l20 fee, in the air and then swung across the river by the overhead pulleys. Extraordinary as the scheme may seem, it is one which is in common and successful use--thongh not now as means of passenger traffic and the plans and specifications for the proposed structure are in the hands ot the contractors. rns scheme was devised as the result of investigations m .de last summer, with q view to arranging some practical method of direct communic ,tion between the western pirt of Cincinnati and the Kentucky pleasure resorts.
 Briefly, the plan Ia as follows: Two steel towers, each 152 feet high and 50 feet spare At the base, are to be erected one on the river bank m Sedsmsyille, and the other I781 feat distant, on the edge of the Lagoon grounds, in Bromley. The towers are to oe connected with four pat ent steel carrying cables of 50 tons tensile strength. Beneath each tower there is to be waiting room, and at the side of each tower will bs the landing, to which the
  car dsscends Toe hoisting and pr)psll ing machinery, weighing 50 tons. will os located in the tower. 6J feet above the ground The span of the cables will ex tend 1760 fest, being l5J feet from the groand at the ends, and having asag at the center of from 6) to 90 feet, according to the load suspended to them. The car will weigh 10 tons empty, and will carry 50 people. When the car is loaded it will be hoisted vertically from the landing until, by a series of autom atic clutches, it is suspended to the pulleys on the four carrying cables I. will then be propelled by a system of tug cables and pulleys across to the opposite tower. travelling at the rate of l2)O feet a minute. At the opposite end it will be lowered to land ing, and the passengers will dsem bark, either in the Lagoon grounds or Sedans vile, ss the case may be. Some idea of the immensity of the undertaking may be gained when it is known that the whole plan involves an outlay of over 1,00J,00)s It will require two miles of two inch cable and eight miles of run. ming cable. The plans have been sent to the secretary of war for his inspection, as his permission is required for the erection of any structure crossing a nsvigsble stream. Mining and Scientific Press.

Many electric power stations are great ly exercised over the fact that not few of the business houses and manufsctur. ing places p their immediate vicinity obtain their electricity for light and pow
 CT purposes without paying for it. The free discussion of the way Tn which the pipes running under many city streets have been honeycombed and destroyed by the electro lytic action ot the stray currents from trolley lines has taught the public that where electric roads are op
 ersted there is plenty of current. as it were, lying loose, and the next idea that naturally presents itself is to turn it to account. Any electrician can, for few dollars, make the required connection, and the electric companies have no case against the man who does it. It is not like tapping gas main, for the cleo. tricity is taken from the ground, and not from the company's wires. All along the line of electric roads in large cities are numberless pipes, which, being good conductors, are sought by the stray cleo. tricity. Water pipes are particularly sus. ceptible, as water itself is good con- ductor. To utilize the current 1t is only necessary to attach wires to a motor, and very efficient power is obtained without expense. It Is also said that a great deal of private lighting is never paid for. and owes its existence to this defected electricity scientific American
