BIG VESSEL LONG OVERDUE
Steamer Rio do Janeiro Missing. With
100 Persons ON Board.

Steamer Rio do Janeiro Missing. With
$50 Persons ON Board.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-The Pa.
cific Mail Steamship company's big
liner. the City of Rio de Janeiro, which
left this port for the Orient, heavily
laden, on Feb. +, should have arrived
at Yokohama on Feb. %, yet not a
word has been heard Of her. The New
York office of the company has been
wired necessarily by the local agents,
but the reply comes regularly and mo-
notonously" that as yet nothing has
reached them by cable concerning the
vessel.
The Rio left here with 156 people on
board, all told. OF these were cabin
passengers and there were in the steer
age 10 Europeans, 10 Japanese and ~
Chinese. The crew consisted Of 80
white people and 70 Chinese.
still Hope for Her Safety.
The one theory upon which the COM,
panies agree in basing their greatest
hopes is that the Rio, by force of bad
weather or other circumstances, was
compelled to pass Yokohama without
making her usual stop there. This
would not be considered an altogether
unusual occurrence. It has happened
several times during the past IL years
to other steamers in the service Of the
company. Should this be the case
there will be . still longer period Of
anxiety for nothing can possibly be
heard from her in that event until she
reaches Hong Kong. Many shipping
men feel hopeful that she will shortly
be reported from the Chinese port.

AMONG THE MINES.

We clip the following from the Key
stone Miner, relative to the mines in
and about that camp.
HOLY TERROR.
The Holy Terror mill Is still in the
hands OF the millrights, who are placing
the new machinery. The new slime
table ls q unique looking affair, resem-
bling huge toad stool more than any
thing else. 1t is circular convex table
in two parts the inner part about
eight feet IN diameter, revolving sepa-
rately from the outer rim. The whole
affair 10 about 18 feet in diameter.
the pulp is fed on the center or axle.
The machine 10 q new departure IN con-
centrating machinery in the camp, the
operation OF which can be better de-
scribed after it is seen in motion. A
double compartment jig will be used
in connection with the table.
KEYSTONE.
The sound OF the dropping OF twenty
stamps has been heard from the Key
stone mill since last Saturday night.
The tramway from the Bullion mine
was finished that evening and the deliv-
cry OF ore was Immediately begun, and
ten stamps employed in crushing it,
with ten others working On Keystone
ore. Twenty additional stamps will be
placed in position in q short time,
portion of which will probably be en-
ployed on ore from the Bismark mine,
which will soon be opened at a much
lower depth than the former workings,
from the new tunnel now being driven.
Tests are now being made in the mill to
learn the comparative adaptability OF
the new cyanide process for the treat
ment OF the ores of this district, the
tests have not as yet proceeded far
enough to warrant the management IN
giving an opinion for publication.
BULLION.
The output Of the Bullion is rs to
80 tons per day. The custom MILL ten
stamps, and as many more OF the Key
stone mill are kept busy day and night.
To mine this ore is the work OF two
men, to mine and deliver at the custom
mill costs 39 cents per ton, that deliv-
cred at keystone costs 16 cents per ton
for mining and delivery. Allowing the
full charge OF $1.5O per ton for milling,
this cost leaves a very comfortable
margin for profit on ore that never
yields az low as SO and often runs SIS
IN free gold with the concentrates to
fall back on. There are many other
mines in this district equally as good as
this, il developed to like extent.
We also learn flom the same source
that Dave Swanev and VIM. Gerard
have about completed deal on the
Big Hltand quite an amount OF develop
ing is to be done at once, We would be
pleased to hear OF our old friend Swan
w making raise. No more faithful
and hardworking prospector can be
found in the country. Dave never

honestly believes he has struck it

DR.. G. ". Ingraham says: A rise OF
temperature of from one ha.f to ono
degree at some period OF greater or
less duration every twenty-four hours,
may be regarded as the first symptoms
Of pulmonary tuberculosis; occurring
previous to every other symptom, and
before the general health Of the indi-
v;dusl is Influenced to a noticeable
degree. The temperature will be most
elevated following bodily fatigue. Ex-
Gliding other morbid conditions that
would cause similar elevation OF tenn
peratare, it is safe to diagnose the
case as one OF pulmonary Tor larygeal)
tuberculosis when this temperature
has persisted for period of two
weeks, and is associated with loss OF
weight aud vitality, even though there
has. been no accompanying cough or
expectoration, and though physical

It should be said OF the man whose
boyhood has been outlined above and
whose success has been so great that,
although his inventions have yielded
him q great deal of money, he has
spent it in making new Investigations
about as fast as he has received it, and
that he regards tho benefit to human
ity that scientific progress will insure
as of far greater Importance than mere
money making. Once Nikola Tesla
declared that he believed the mission
of applied electricity to be the prao.
tical reiuvenation of the world, by les.
soning the amount OF labor that must
be performed by human hands, and
that he hoped to live to see the day
when all alike, both rich and poor
should share equally in the advan-
tGges Of all scientific discoveries.

abolition of poverty and riches" tho
writer ventured TO SOY.

the most civilized men in the extreme
east. They still, however, affect the
savage dress, except in the most pop
ulous districts, little clothing being
worn beyond a loin cloth by the men
and o short skirt by the women. They
live in huts OF pine branches and till
the land. Very few OF the ancient race
survive, and they alone are unamen-
able to civilization. These, who num-
Der less than 10000, are called No.
gritoes. or little negroes.
But the other G,0O0. 900 natives who
furnished the pirate captains with
their crews were the most powerful
savages IN the world. They are phys
icalIy brave and fear no consequences,
when in battle fighting like the all
conGuer;nS Arabs who fought under
the standard OF lIahomet. They need
only good officers, in the opinion OF
military experts, to make Them excel
lent troops. Their proves was proved
in the Tonquin war, when q contingent
OF Philippine troops rendered valuable
service to the French. The necessary
officers will &c supplied ny the eau
casians, who live in Manila. These
are of Spanish, German and Mexican
descent, with shrinking Of English
and Spaniards.
Manila has 100000 population, Of
which one.third are Europeans. Very
few of these are Spaniards or bound
by any tie to the mother country.
That they are ready to lead the no
tives has been sho ~n by the fact that
one Of the first town TO rebel was Ma
nilla. This city is strongly fortified
town on the Island OF Luzon, inclosed
by line o. ramparts. and because Of
it's strategetical importance was for
mer]y regarded as the bulwnrk OF
Spanish power in the Eastern seas.
The Governor. General. who is the
ruler of the island, lives there, and
receives reports from the forty-three
governors and alcaldes who rule the
other provinces. The town is divided
by river into two parts, on one side
of which live the oilicinls and on the
other the merchants, between whom
there is little friendship.

The Secret OF E!avNa! Yout!

The philosophers Of old spent their
lives in it's quest, and did not find it.
Simple enough is the answer, accord.
ing TO ''Sister Frances" in tho New
Budget. ''For man" she says, cit
is to love one woman we'll" An old
man need never become older than his
sou in dcmeanor, If he preserves for
his old wife all the first tenderness
and first enthusiasm Of his early love.
Such an affections very different from
that with which old men regard their
old wives, q feeling that springs most
ly from duty aud partly from force of
habit. 1t is the love Of M old pater-
familias, and very different from the
love of q lover that in some finely con.
stituted natures lasts through helf
lifetime Of welded life. And when the
husband remains q lover all his life. it
follows that the wife remains young
also. AS for the children, they find
their most congenial companions in
such father and such o mother, so
that the advantage to every member
OF the family is virtually priceless.
Frances" gives several instances of
such homes of happiness. One Of
these was that Of friend who was en-
Enthusiastically proud of his father, and
the reason was apparent when she had
met the family. The sisters were
charming, the brothers were pleasant
and full of fun, and the mother was a
sweet, bright old lady, who, though q
chronic invalid, seemed perfectly con
tented with the world, and with her
share in it. Then, when the father
came home, it WAS plain why the old
lady was so pretty and the children So
nice. The fathor, though white haired,
was still young man, and delight;
ful one. To both tho girls and boys
he was the best and most sympathetic
companion and friend, and what could
better conduce to the perfect happi-,
ness OF such household? "That
would depend greatly on the woman"
many people would say. Not in
"Frances's" opinion, at all events,
for she says that "the women in these
cases were just ordinary, pleasant old
ladies, no whit different from many We
see neglected by their husbands, or.
loved in perfunctory way" An Or
binary man would have loved them in
an ordinary way, and would have
grown into IN old foey. These men
had the Gift Of loving, and found it to
DO the gift Of perpetual youth-no
less. New York Ledger.

How High Can Man Go?

Professor Ugolino Mosso, of Turin,
has made some interesting experiments
on the effects experienced in ascend
ing to high attitudes. All climbers Of
lofty mountains are aware that at great
heights, such as the summit of Mount
Blanc, respiration becomes more or
less troublesome, the heart beats rap
idly and some time irregularly, and a.
feeling Of exhaustion, often accom-
panied by nausea, is experienced.
These effects arise largely from the
rarity Of the Dir, and since the atmos...
phere becomes less dense the higher
one goes, it is evident that o limit
must soon be reached above which man
cannot ascend. Professor Mosso made
his first experiments on Monte Rosa,
next to Mont Blanc the highest peak
of the Alps, where he assembled to AM
elevation exceeding $4,000 feet with,
out serious inconvenience. Returning
to Turin he made his next ascent, so to,
speak, without ascending at all. In
other words, he produced an imitation
of the rare atmosphere of very lofty
mountain top by partially exhaustingl
the air from large pneumatic cham
Der in which he had shut himself.
When the Dir in the chamber CORE
sponded in density with that which
would be found at height of M,272'
feet above sea level, be suffered such
i'll effects that he could not carry the
experiment further. The height to
which Professor Mosso thus simulated
m ascent is almost mile less than
that OF Mount Everest, so that it seems
improbable that man will ever be able
to set his foot on the loftiest peak OF
the earth.

head Like Rat, Tail Like Ecar
and Claws Like Lobster.

Dame Nature has devised many
curious forms Of mammalian life, but
she surpassed herself when she dc.
signed the strange creature which has
lately found homo in the London
Geological Gardens. It is unlike any
other animal to be found at the Zoo,
yet 1t has parts which remind one of
several. Its general shape is that of a
cross between an armadillo and a SER
pent. 1t has q head like rat, claws
like bear. a tail not unlike that of q
lobster and o general resemblance to q
gigantic woodlouse.
The name of this new arrival is tha
panGolin, and it belongs to the family
OF casypodidae, which includes, also,
those other remarkable animals, the
armad1l!o and the platypus. This is the
first specimen which has been brought
to tie Geological Gardens, and it's
treatment is therefore at present in the
experimental stage. It is coveredsswith
bony plates, each having keen edge.
and this coat of mail serves not only
Tor purposes Of defense, but for Of
Tense rs well. For the animal eau
bring up It's tail with ferocious jerk,
and Us this part Of its anatomy is
studded, like the rest Of It's body, WITH
razor edged plates, it constitutes 3
weapon by no means to be despise3.
The pangolin's claws are large and
powerful, and are designed to tear
Gown the great nests of the termites,
or white ants. for let it be known thai
the popular nnme OF this freak Of ma.
ture is tie ScalY Aut Eater. Sir. En-
erson Tenant found the animal in
Ceyion, where it represents the only
example Of edentates, or too!hless
mammal, in the island. But if it lacks
teeth it has long. glntinous tongue,
with which it can Stay its thousands.
The creature is seldom still, but occu-
pies its time in moving forward and
back ward-that is, literally tail fore
most and its scales are so horny that
they rustic and crack!e against each
other with o noise that can be heard
many yards away from the cage.
Sir Emerson Tenant says that the
word pangolin is Indicative of the
faculty which the creature has ''for
rolling itself up into compact ball,
by bending its head toward it's stom-
ach, arching it's back into q circle, and
