A DEADLY OCCUPATION.

Bringing Out Borax From the Riffs
in Death Valley.
The deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields
Of Death Valley Of the Great American
Desert. There the longest teams in
the world are employed. Scientists de-
clare that the fierce heat In this mar
earth is not eQualled elsewhere In the
registers 40 degrees of heat, unre-
men sleep at night in shallow bitches
filled with water in order to avoid
dying from collapse, the necessity for
horses ever harnessed to draw the
great borax-laden wagons is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
among the horses is greater than that
calling. Forty to sixty horses are often
cles in which the borax is slowly drag
ged across the sun-baked alkali plains.

for in this length of time they either
become broken-winded. consumptive
from inhaling the deadly dust Of the
desert or are driven crazy by the
frightful heat.
A man there, though protected by
the wagon awnings from the suns
rays, cannot 60 an hour without wa
ter without danger of death. When q
team breaks down and the water sup
ply becomes depleted the men ride on
at top speed for the nearest source of
supply, and often when they return
they find that the remaining horses,
made mad by thirst, have broken from
the harness and dashed off only to find
death in the desert
The borax wagons weigh 5000
pounds and carry 10000 pounds at a
load. Behind each wagon Is tank
containing hundreds Of gallons Of wa
ter. The horses are harnessed In pairs,
the trained ones in the lead, and the
next in intelligence just ahead of the
tongue, while the unruly and the
youngsters are hitched between. The
nigh leader has a bride with the strap
from the left jaw shorter than the
other. and from this bride runs .

Electric Currents and Mine-Survey.
g.. ING Instruments.
Nlectsacity Is being used so much In
'Aining that 1t is very important that
every mining engineer and surveyor
should be made acquainted with the
result OF some recent experiments on
the effect Of electric currents on DELI
cate Instruments. In the Westphaliau
coal fields electric railways are rapidly
on the increase, and tie question arose
whether the electric currents exercised
any detrimental action upon the mag
letic surveying instruments which are
used so largely in the German mines
In order to determine this, Prof. LEM
selected point underground at hort.
zontal distance of about 100 yards
from the rails of an electric railway,
and 1,42O feet below it. There. by
means of magnetometer with quartz
hDer suspension, q series Of obserya-
tons OF variations were made, based
on fixed line. The day curve was
very irregular, while the night results
showed perfect regularity, and were 1
quite in accord with the magnetic rec
ords. This showed that magnetic OBJ
servations can, under such conditions;
be only satisfactorily conducted during
the night in the absence of the mag
netic current. Another source Of error i
is the safety lamp, Composed Of vari-'
GUS metals, the lamp in a hot condition
sets up the therE o-electric currents,
which act on the magnetic needle. In
ORDER to obtain information. on this |
point, six mine-surveyors' safety
lamps, free from iron, were placed,
one at time, first in a cold condition !
and then heated, at the pole Of sensi- !
tive magnetometer. OF the six lamps, !
two, when cold, had no action on the |
needle. while acted on it while hot.
The deviations observed amounted to
rom 30 to 100 seconds. A new ben
line lamp that had not been previous
y used, caused deviation of as much
creased with the temperature of the
amp A new aluminium safety lamp
'aused the same deviation when cold
Is when hot. From these results it
olloWs that the mine surveyor, before
making magnetic observa tons with
lelicate instruments, should carefully
est his lamp. The influence of slight
magnetic properties may be lessened
" holding the light in the ,prolonga-
ion Of the magnetic axis. With side
lighting great care is necessary. 1t is
hus demonstrated that the mining en-
ineer and surveyor should make their
observations at night. If they carry
ut that operation during the datime
n the neighborhood Of an electric ,
liant, etc., the results are almost GER
ain to be wrong, and trouble will en-

These gather themselves into pools and

Is little longer than the team, which
stretches out several hundred feet in
front of the wagon. During the busy
season the borax wagons make an al
most continuous train, and the horses
