A New York professor, afflicted, or
blessed. with a glass eye, has devised
a striking mode Of converting this little
accessory to uses other than mere or
nament. Theoretically sealed within
the shell Of the glass eye is q minute
one-candle power electric glow lamp.
OF the kind used by surgeons. This
ocular lamp is operated from a small
storage battery, conveyed in the pro-
fessor's pocket. The luminous eye acts
like a dark lantern, whenever desired,
simply by the natural closure of the
eyelid over it. For reading in bed, or
in the train, or conducting any phys
ical research, it proves an admirable
convenience. At first sight, to q casual
observer, the luminous orb wears a
fearsome, or at least startling. aspect.
In fact, it would be ill-advised TO min
gle in general society with the eye in
use.

The following item in reference to
this State is floating about the journal
istic sea, says the Idaho News Miner:
cages ago a vast river Of fire poured
down the centre of the State of Idaho.
This river consisted of moulten lava,
was 400 miles long, 100 miles wide,
and 300 to 900 feet thick. Across the
course Of this mighty river Of fire a
river Of water has slowly cut a channel
in several places. Born in the melting
SNOW Of the majestic Tetons, this river
has cut its way for hundreds OF miles
through lava beds, in it's course tum-
bling over e precipices until
the great climax is reached at Sho-
shone falls, where this mighty river
makes an awful leap of 210 feet, a mag
nificent spectacle, in marked contrast
to the desolate country on either SIDE"

srsipg Coins For Advertising.

Kalamazoo and Muskegon mer-
chants are using silver dollars for adj
vertising purposes. They are not Civ
ing away the dollars, but are using
them as billboards. They paste labels
on the big silver cart wheels reading /:
"Take me back to Blanks store and
get one dollar and five cents worth Of
groceries for me-" Citizens are COM
planning that the labels come off and
stick to their pockets and that the gum
makes the money unpleasant to handle.
The United States District Attorney
was appealed to, but he says it is not
against the law to use coins, but he
thought from experience and from all
he heard, that public opinion would
indorse a law making such a use Of the
national coinage a crime.-New York

BILE. The newspapers are a-quiver
with it, and ii is the talk Of the town.
Young ears are sharp and newspapers
are accessible, parents or no parents.
The blazoning OF the b~eastiality of the
North Beach brutes by the Mothers
Of San Francisco" the exposure OF
Price, and the Brown story have
served to give forbidden knowledge to
thousands and thousands Of girls and
boys who else would have remained in
innocent ignorance. "Confound these
parsons and reforming women" a man
said to me-a good man, too. Why
are they forever stirring up the dirt OF
life? When nothing else, nothing new,
attracts them, they pitch into the So
cial evil, without the least expectation
OF extirpsting it. Now they have some
scandals OF their own to keep them
busy. By Jove, what with the par
sons, the women and the newspapers,
the world is not a fit place to bring up
ones daughter in"

NEVADA GOLD,


Dan De guile, in the Engineering
and Mining Journal, says: An aston
ishing amount OF gold is now being
found in this State, heretofore looked
upon as being almost wholly silver
producing. Our production Of gold is
now several hundred thousand dollars
greater than our production OF silver.
Next season Nevada will be heard
from in gold production. Even at this
time some good discoveries are being
made. Some Of these discoveries-in
the UNEMPLOYED southern parts Of the
State-are being kept secret, but must
loon become known through their yield
OF gold. From one " the secret "fnds,"
gold to the value OF nearly 10000 was
sold in Salt Lake three Or four days
ago. The men who brought in the
gold said they had extracted 1t by a
crude method and claimed to have dis
covered a region rivaling Cripple Creek,
but refused to give particulars until
after January LIST. Through men work.
ing about Disaster Peak, we have had
rumors for two or three months Of men
at work in secret mines in Southern
Nevada in the direction Of Death VAL
ley. One Of these mines is reported to
be in the mountains 100 miles west Of
Hike. Doubtless all these new dis
coveries will be shown up next Spring
or before. There are still thousands
Of square miles in Nevada about which
little is known. l think the tide of
mining development and speculation
will turn N~evadaward next Summer.

A curious story comes from Douglas
county and is vouched for by Herman
Springmyer, says the Carson Appeal.
On Sunday evening last he heard a
strange noise in his barn and on going
out he found a COW suffering from bloat,
caused by gas on the stomach. II had
eaten some alfalfa hay which had been
put up before being perfectly cured,
and was in great distress. He set down
the lantern he vas carrying and rushed
into the house to get a knife and stick
the COW as is the usual custom in sDch
cases. On his return he heard a tre-
mendous explosion and on reaching
the barn found il in darkness. He
procured another light and was aston
ished to find the COW dead, with its
stomach ruptured in several places and
the entrails and liver scattered over
the barn. II was a clear case OF gas
explosion. The COW had evidently
gotten loose and upset the lantern and
the gas from her stomach coming in
contact with the fame OF the candle
had resulted disastrously to the COW.
The mouth and throat Of the animal
was burned black. Never before in
this State has there been a similar
ase of gas explosion, although the gas
from alfalfa bloat is known to be high
ly explosive under certain conditions.
