ELECTRICITY FOR BINGHAM.
Power and Light For the "oId Re-
LIABLE" BY Dynamo.

LIABLE" BY Dynamo.
Yesterday an important transaction
took place in this city, whereby o. B.
Hardy, who held the electrical fran
chise for the camp of Bingham, turned
the same over to the Salt Lake City
and Ogden Electric Light company,
who will begin at once the construction
of line between this city and Bling
ham, whereby the latter place will be
supplied with electricity for power
and lighting purposes. The company
has promised to furnish Bingham
mining companies with power at rate
that is 25 per cent. cheaper than they
can generate it by coal and steam, and
| it is believed that the use of electrical
power will become general with them.
The town of Bingham will also be
lighted by electricity, and the camp
will take another step in its march of
progression.
This will be a great thing for Bing-
ham, and The Herald hastens to con-
graduate her people over the consul
nation of this important enterprise.

BINGHAM COPPER COMPANY.
Extensive Surveys of the StarIus
Tunnel, Just Completed.

A. B. Hardy, manager of the Bing-
ham Copper company has just had
some extensive surveys made of the
StarluS tunnel and the entire surface
Groupings of the mountain. The result
of the surveys shows the line of the
tunnel to be at almost right angles to
the line of the groupings, and it is Mr..
Hardy's belief that the vein that he
has been taking ore out of is a lateral
and that the tunnel will shortly cross
cut the main gold belt The face of
the tunnel is now in iron stained
quartz carrying gold.

For many years most of the emery
has been brought from Turkey and the
Greek islands. Its value for cutting and
polishing has been known since the be-
ginning of history. Very crude methods
are in use for obtaining this substance
for market. Enormous fires are built
on or against the rocks, which are then
broken or cracked by throwing jets of
cold water against them. Emery has
many uses, among which are its en-
ployment in polishing and cutting. Be-
ing so unmanagable, it for long time
defied the efforts of man to put it into
available shape, but at length it was
cemented into disable forms, and it was
nodded into wheels. Emery millstones
are later-day improvement. They are
the most practical of all stones, because
they are not affected by heat, and the
face is always sharp. As cutting and
polishing powder, emery is of great
value, and emery sandpaper is an i'm
portant article of manufacture.-N. Y.

Great Power for High Speed.

The large amount of fuel required for
very high speed racing boats has been
the subject of thorough investigation
by experts, in order, if possible, to re-
duce the quantity of coal necessary for
this purpose. Some of the British tor
pedo boat chasers are thought to be the
most perfect vessels of their class in ex-
istence, but in order to attain 3O-knot
speed, they must carry 60 tons of coal.
This is fully one-quarter of their entire
sea-going displacement. Under high
spee5. they consume between three and
a half and four tons of coal an hour. To
propel vessel with a speed of 20 knots
an hour, the consumption of fuel is ire
mendous. Twenty-seven knots an hour
is the best speed of the ordinary torpedo
boat. In order to reach the 3O-knot line
fully so per cent. more fuel is required.

A SCENE IN ANCIENT GREECE.
The Great Annual Gathering at the
OIympian Games.

Olympian Games.
About the first of the Olympic month
war and battle sound ceased through
out the length and breadth of Hcllas.
The distant roads which led to Olympia
were thronged with pilgrims bound on
Il iDurney almost as sacred as that of
the pilgrimage to Mecca by the devout
Mahommedan. AS the distance les
sened and the time neared, the travellers
became more numerous, audit seemed
ar If Greece dispatched all her bravest
and strongest and noblest sons into these
cpnterging currents. On horseback
and muleback, on foot and in litter,
some carrying their simple luggage
upon their backs, some with elaborate
wagons containing splendid camp
equipage and the richest wines and
foods guarded by retinue of servants,
they choked each route with an army of
teeming life. The five festival days were
a great national picnic, where almost
everything was enjoyed in the open air
under a glorious midsummer sky. a
Few of the distinguished visitors were
cared for in the temples; but ma or-
ity, even of the wealthy, chose the free
life of their own tents.
The daily scene, one can fancy, was
b with life and pictorial effect. One
OF the fairest of Greek valleys, with
snow-crowned heights in the back
ground, its own bosom crowned with
the white-pillared beauty of a hundred
temples and public edifces, is filled
with thousands of tents of every color,
like gigantic flowers. During the hours
when the visitors do not resort to the
stadium to thrill with the terrible
struggles of the runners or wrestlers
or boxers, or to watch the smoking
horses in the hippodrome, they amuse
themselves at the booths of the traders
and chapmen. For from all parts of
the civilized world merchants have
gathered to sell their wares, ranging
from the rarest jewels and most Ella b.
crate goldsmith work to simple ar
ticles of daily use.
Olympia was indeed the arena of the
greatest public games of antiquity, for
we can scarcely call by this name the
cruelties of the Roman amphitheater;
but it was also the site of one of its
busy and active fairs, national ex-
position under canvas, every four
years.
Mental enjoyment of the higher sort
was not missing from the entertain
ment. The leading tragedies were rep
resented in one of the finest theaters of
Greece. Poets and historians came
here also to recite their new works,
and so to publish their fame to the
world. 1t is said that many of the
stirring odes of Pindar were made pub
lie in this way, and that Herodotus, the
father of history, first read his delight
full story before the audience at an
Olympian festival.-G. T. Ferris, in
ST. Nicholas.

downtrodden, patient male worm found
in street cars. He turned the other
day on the Madison avenue line. He
was a sickly looking man, of middle
age, who entered and gaZed about anX-
iously for a seat. About the middle
of the car he detected signs of hope
where a bird of gaudy plumage had
preempted a 15-cent reservation with
her balloon sleeves. Even a half way
civil shrinkage on her part would have
made him happy, but her royal
thoughts were full of Easter, and she
never budged as he stood before her

Her neighbours heart surrendered
few inches of space, and he used that

winner. 1t was the furious heart OF
the gaudy creature that broke under
the mass of determined plebeian flesh
at her side. She turned red, white and
blue, bit her lips at the spectacle of
crushed wings, and darted javelins of
wrath toward the platform. The audi

BALLAST FROM DUCKS.
Scientific Discovery That Elucidated q
PuZZling Mystery.

Few people credit a duck with the
sense he really possesses said Fred
OZenne, a disciple of Nimrod. For
years had been wondering what had
caused the presence of good-sized peb-
BILE bank on the shore of the lake in the
Grandivola section of the Louisiana
marsh. Had it been a sand bank could
have understood it, but it was composed
of pebbles, all very much alike, rounded
and smooth almost to a size, and appar-
emily differing from the small stones
found in the gravel beds of the south.
Several of the hunters in that section
had seen the pebble beach and, like my
self, they could not understand it. All
winter long it seemed fresher than at
other times, and during the summer
the grass would kinder cover its upper
portion and the mud from the fresh
water dim the luster of the stones near
the edge. There was not another beach
like it in the marsh.
Zone winter, in fact, it was just when
the first cold spell had struck US. 1 was
hunting with a friend in the lake |
spoke Of. 1t was one Of the finest duck
ing spots in the state. This was before
they had begun to make glue from the
eggs in Canada. When we reached the
lake there was not duck to be seen.
The next morning l was hiding in the
grass near the pebble beach when |
heard sound of wings and large flock
of mallard settled near me. Before 1
could raise my gun the entire lot walked
cut on the pebble bank. and to my aston
ishment, began to disgorge a lot Of
small stones like the ones already there.
This occupied but short time, and the
flock began quacking and sailed into the
lake, and l shot several. This settled
the mystery of the pebble beach. In
the spring | was again hunting in the
lake. When the first warm weather came
the ducks began to go home. They
would come to the beach, and after a
few preliminaries swallow lot of peb-
bles, then fly around for a minute in
order to see if their balance was all
right. If they were too heavy they
would disgorge few stones, or, if too
light swallow half-dozen more.
Il found by observation that in order
for the ducks to make long flights it
was necessary for them to fill up with
certain number of stones to secure a
proper equilibrium for the return trip.
After l found this out l always had
plenty of game to show my friends."-
