MINING.

Ex-Congressman "Lafe" Pence, of Colorado. knows something about min ing sharps and flats, and when he spoke at the gold-r,liners' banquet in New York last week he told some truth which those who are tempted to invest ii. the new mining craze would do well to bear in mind. He said he had no stock to sell and and proved his asser- ton by saying: I wish to tell you eastern people some things you ought to know. When you buy railroad, you get a practical railroad man to run it. When you buy factory your get the most expert man in that line. When you start a bank you get the finest and most experienced banker in the world to operate it. Now what do you do when you go into a mining enterprise? Why, the first thing you do is to go to the list Of your relatives and look through it. Then you pick out broken dude neohew. who has been expelled from society, and send him out west as superintendent ot the mine, and you look for dividends and kick. If he ever sees the property at all he goes to a livery stable and wants bobtailed ped igrced horse to ride over Colorado mountain.
 There is great deal more truth than poetry in this, though it may not seem so to those who have started or are about to start for Cripple Creek. Min ing is a business that needs experience. judgment, care and economy in order to be successful. It is better to be little

Garland had possibly the most com plete outfit of these tubes in America, the apparatus costing several thousand dollars, with the so-called Geisler tubes. The tubes were of glass of various shapes and sizes, in which a so-called vacuum was produced to the millionth part of one atmosphere. He also exhib- tied the resistance that various forms of ether, gases and metals offered to the rays. He predicted that these experi- ments and this new ethereal medium would revolutionize our theories of light, and also that these rays would be used in photography at some future date"

 From the Chicago ReeordJ
 To the average observer a freight car is a very commonplace affair, and receives but g, small share of his atten- ton; but notwithstanding, it is, as P T. Barnum would say, "one of the greatest things on earth" It can move at the rate of sixty miles an hour, but is equally adapted to remain sta tionary on a siding for weeks at a time; fifteen thousand miles a year is common record for a freight car to travel, and instances occur where cars make as high mileage as fifty thou sand or sixty thousand miles a year. The average mileage, however is prob ably not over ten thousand miles a year, or about twenty-five miles a day. This is because the car stands idle about five days for every one day it is in motion.
 The average life of freight car, with ordinary wear and tear and occasional trips to the main shop for the renewal fective, is in the neighborheod of eight cen or twenty years, but there is the possibility of the car being converted

EJTZ AND ,Ty1r

If Fitzsimmons and Corbett ever fight as fiercely with their fists as they are now fighting with their mouths and pens the sight will be worth seeing. A message from one or the other, or both, is printed every day and read with quite as much interest as is be- slowed upon the reading of presidents
 governors or mayors messages. The newspapers print the prize-fighters' messages just as they do the messages of presidents, governors and mayors, or the messages of football, baseball and rowing managers. Of course the newspapers would rather not print the messages of prizefighters. Every ora- tor who speaks for the press at ban quet says so But they know that their readers want to read them and they can't really afford to leave out any thing that their readers want to read
 So in they go, in spite of the silent protests of the sensitive souls who don't want to print them. but who feel that they must conform to 'the spirit of the age" if they would prosper. In reluc- tant conformity with that spirit we have kept our readers posted concern ing what "F'itz" and "Jim' think about themselves and each other, and though it will continue to pain us we shall con- tinue to print their messages as long as they continue to be as interesting to our readers as the other messages are.
 The latest is that "Fitz' and "Jim" have been or will be invited to fight in England, that noble country which stands to-day as the exponent of all that is highest and best in Christian and Anglo-Saxon civilization. The English don't seem to be squeamish or hypocritical about prizefighting. They like it and they say so. Perhaps if our two greatest fighters and takers go over there and have it out the English may be impressed with the talk and the spectacle and conclude that we amount to something after all The Venezuelan affair seems to be prosper ing, and big prize-fight in London in which the two great Christian nations of the world could and would be inter- ested might still further encourage the prevailing cordial intent

COMING.

Ii Hung ChaW, the Bismarck of Chi na, is going to visit this country next summer. He appears to be entirely re- stored to royal favor, as he has been appointed to represent his emperor at the coronation of the czar and czarina of Russia. There will be much curios- ity here to see the great man, who has contrived during the recent ups and downs in Chinese affairs to finally locate himself with the ups. We don't know how he will dress when he comes to see us, but he will be somewhat disappoint- ing unless he wears the famous yellow jacket and the equally famous pea cocks feather which figured so conspic- uously and fantastically in connection with his name last year. He must have been d gloomy object in China when he had to go around without that jack ct and that feather, and he will be less interesting here than he might be if he does not wear them.

end of a switch track into underbrush, where 1t lies forgotten until the brush becomes so thick as to completely hide it, The numbers and initials of cars occasionally become so blurred and in distinct that the road on whose line they are finds itself unable to tell who their proper owners are.
 On Michigan road a short time ago a car had been lost track of completely and the most diligent search failed to reveal it's whereabouts A farmer finally volunteered the information to the lost-car agent that the car he was looking for was about seven miles from the track back in the woods. :" The agent, on Investigating the matter, found this to be the case.
 The previous winter temporary track seven miles long had been laid back in the woods from the main line to q lumber camp. Some of the con- tractors at the camp being in need of a comfortable kitchen, had appropriated a car for the purpose, removing the body from the trucks, which were then showed in a ditch and covered with brush.
 In the spring, when the temporary track was taken up, this car was over looked, with the result that it was left stranded in the woods seven miles from the place where it should have been.
