NEW METHoDo TUNNELING.
Inventor Says 1t VIII Cut Twenty Feet

An cntcrprising inventor in Calaveras

proposes to revolutionize the present meth

being at the rate of twenty-three feet a
day. The apparatus is described as being
twelve feet long, four feet wide and six
feet high, and, with the fourteen-horse
power engine which runs it, weighs som'
6.300 pounds.
The principle is that of circular saw.
Sixty drill points attached to each of the
two wheels, four feet in diameter ard
eight inches wide, make 600 revolutions
per minute. The points are oDe-half an
Inch apart, every revolution feeding one
eighth of an inch, and the enthusiastic
inventor declares that it will cut twenty
feet of q six-by-eight tunnel in day in the
hardest rock. The latter being crushed
as fine as wheat grains, is carried to the
rear and dumped iu7a car. The drill points
weigh one-fourth of a pound each, last
four days. and are kept cool by means or
a steady stream of water. Three men
are required to run the machine.

Uses of Pine Wood.

Though it is generally assumed that
oak is the wood capable Of being put TO
the greatest variety of uses, it is Known,
as matter of fact, that the pine is really
the most used, on account of its great album
dance; nevertheless, the timber OF the oak
combines in itself the essential elements
OF strength and durability, hardness and
elasticity in a degree which no o'her tree
can boast-unrivaIed as material for
shipbuilding, also superior in architecture,
cabinet making, carving, mill work, coop
erage and ndinnumerable other purposes; while
the bark is Of great value as furnishing
tan and yielding a bitter extract in con-
tiDual demand for medicinal purposes. But
OF uses for the pine, details would lie
well nigh endless. The timber Is inval-
liable in house and ship carpentry; coinmon
turpeDtine is extracted from 1T in vast
quantities, and immense supplies of tar,
pitch, rosin and lampblack; in the manufac-
turc Of lucifer matches, and, above all.
paper pulp, thousa nds and tens OF thousands
Of acres of pine forests are cut down every
year, and, briefly, the timber OF this tree,
constituting as 1t does the chief material of
English and American builders, may be
said to be more used than all other kinds
Of wood put together.

buddhism In Thibet.

Buddhism as practiced in Thibet is differ
ent from the creed as il is found in other
parts of the world. The people Of Thibet do
not believe in only one Buddha, but they are
taught by their lamas, or priests, to worship
several lesser BIddhas, the creed having
been mixed up with the old Hindu gods.
The people are priest-ridden to an extent
that is difficult of credit. Nothing can be
done in Thibet without a lama, from the
plowing of q field to the betrothal of a
couple, for if the lama, to whom references
must be made, pronounces them unsuited to
each other, the marriage cannot take place.

NEW YORK. Jan. So.-Prot. A W.

perimental physic at Yale University,
and Is in charge OF the Sloan physical
laboratory, has, according to theEVen-
Ing Posts New Haven correspondence,
made successful experiments. recently.
in photographlng objects behind opa-
que bodies by the agency OF cathode
rays, in which Prof. W. c. Roentgen, OF
WurBtburg, Germany, hns been report
ed 70 have achieved remarkable results.
Prot. Wright made use In his expert
mcntA q tube in which the exhaustion
Is carried to 80 high q point that the
tension OF the gas left in the tube is
measured by few milliOnthB OF ordi-
nary atmospheric pressure, the so-call-
ed Crokes tube-nnd connected TO the
poles OF an induction coll in action The
discharge from the negative eleotrode
OF such tube gives the cathode rays
which, II must be emphasized, are al
most non-luninous.
Prof. WrIghts experiments were
made with a great variety OF sub
stances. and II was found that strong
Impressions were obtained upon pho-
tographic plate even when It was en-
closed in an opaque wrapping or black
paper and covered with pine board
half an inch thick. 1t was evident ut
the outset that the order OF transper-
eney OF different subjects for the light
rays was very different from that
which Is found in the cathode rays.
Thus pieces OF glass were more OPAQUE
to these rays than some OF the metals
or than ebonite, which Is perfectly
opaque to luminous rays, but trans
mits the cathode rays with great free
dom. Among the metals aluminium Is
especially distinguished and in one Of
the experiments OF Prof. Wright an
aluminium metal left Its Impress on the
plate so clearly rs to show both the de-
sign and lettering. In this latter case
the layer between the metal and the
sensitive plate was absolutely opaque
ebunite. which is the substance used by
photographers to darken completely

YARKERsBuRG, W. Va, jan. 3d.
Attorneys for the defense in the big
find suit Of King vs.. Mullens in the
United states court, before Judge Con,
this morning. sprung an interesting
question when they asked the court for
verdict claiming that the land in
question has been forfeited TO this
court by being not entered upon the
land books, state provision being that
land not entered for taxes for Ave sue
cessIve years shall be forfeited 10 the
state.
To counteract this move, the plain
tins counsel nrSued that the statute Is
contrary TO the fourteenth amendment
TO the United States constitution, which
says that no man shall be deprived of
hts life, liberty or property without due
process OF law. The state law says TINT
land not entered for taxation for 1--WE
successive years should so by default
without due process OF law.
The point was hotly contested. as 1t
was highly important TO both sides.
Judge Con. upon n request for bind
ing instruction to the jury, heard nr-
Euments OF counsel and decided that
thc COuaklluIlOtl anu lLWb VI " thL II
ginia relating to the forfeiture OF land
for failure to have the same entered
upon the land book and charged with
taxcs, is not In violation OF any pro-
vision Of The constitution OF tho United
States and that It was proved in this
state that the plaintiffs title had been
forfeited under the West Virginia laws,
and he instructed the jury TO find YER
diet accordingly, which the jury did.
The abrupt ending Of this famous
case was n great surprise TO the coun-
sci for the defendants as well as the
plaintiffs attorneys The title to one
and one-half million acres was involv-
ed In this suit, which has been in liti-
cation for years.
The case win probably so up to the
United States appellate court. About
one hundred squatteTs on the land In
dispute, who We're here AZ witnesses
for the defense, are Jubllant, as the
verdict allows them to retain the land
they live on. The costs in this case
have been enormous This is the sec
ond trial OF this famous case, 1t having
been tried last year before United
States Judge Jackson, and the jury dis
agreed.
