Mr.. McIntyre,s Death.

Recently the HERALD gave brief ac-
count of the death of David B. Mcintyre
OF this city, who fell from or ain, and
was inst antly killed. The Belle Fourche
Times gives the particulars in detail, as
follows:
"The last sad rites over the remains of
Mr.. David Mcintyre were held a: the
M. E. church, Rev. L. r. Bailey, pastor,
inst, and the remains were laid to rest
in Belle Fourche cemetery.
"The particulars of the accident are
about as follows: Mrs Hill vas in tt he
chair car with her father, and soon after
the train passed 9assett about 1 p. m >,
the lady fell asleep. The old gentleman
sat beside her and was reading. Accord
ing to the story of other passengers, he
arose and went to the toilet room; tina-
| ing the door locked he returned to his
seat, but in a few minutes made another
| trip and still being unable to gain en-
| trance, he passed on out of the car
! This was the last seen of him alive and
| the direct cause of his fall from the NOV
| ing train can only be surmised Mrs.
Hill was unconscious OF his move nents,
| until after the train had passed the di-
vision station of Lorg Pine, when the
new conductor called for her ticket.
She noted the absence of her father, and
! and near by passengers told her that he
must have gone to the next car. The
train men failed to find him, and the
worst then being feared, kilograms were
sent hack to Long Pine and Bassett, and
a special train was sent out to search
the track. The dead body was found a
few miles west of Bassett, at which
place the inquest was held and YER
dict given in accordance with the above
| facts"

materials, that through its attraction for
gold leads the happy possessor to the
most desired of all metals.
Mr., Thomas claims tn be able to locate
not only gold, if in any considerable
quantity, but silver, copper, lead, coal,
and even water, by means of his divining
rod. And Mr.. Thomas is not the only one
who believes he has at last solved the
mysteries of the bowels of the earth, for
one Alameda man, particular friend of
the inventor, is soon to be the proud
possessor of one of the rods, which is now
in course of construction.
Mr.. Thomas is miner, and for many
years past has journeyed to the noun.
tains every spring to search for the rich
ledge which every miner hopes some day
to strike. When the prospecting season
is over he returns to his home and during
the winter months works on the invention,
which is now all but complete and through
which he hopes to become wealthy.
Mr. Thomas does not desire to sell the
rod to those who are looking for gold-far
from it. In fact, he refuses to go into the
manufacture OF them except for particular
friends, because he believes that he can
reach the pile he has set his heart on
far more quickly by locating rich bodies
of ore and working them.
The nature of his discovery is secret
for the present, but he does not hesitate 10
show the rod to any one who cares to re-
quest an exhibition. 1t resem hles nothing
so much as a plumbers tongs with elon-
gated and elastic steel handles, which are
seen to be wound with fine copper wire.
Held between the jaws of the tongs is an
oblong cylinder, pointed at one end and
resembling cartridge. This cylinder con-
tains the discovery. A different one is re-
quire for each mineral that is being
searched for, the tongs being so arranged
that they can be opened and the cylinders
changed. Mr.. Thomas says that three
miles of wire thread are wound on the
handles, and that the entire machine i.
insulated. 1t is held above the head, one
handle in each hand, and is claimed
by those who have seen it work to at once
indicate the presence OF the metal fol-
which it is prepared on approaching it.
AT recent private exhibition the ROD
indicated accurately the presence of
quantity of gold coin buried by one of tn,
skeptics in the party before the operator
who was not the inventor and who knew
nothing of the location of the buried
money, had reached the scene.
The inventor is said to be working ricI
mine in one of the northern counties a
the present time that he discovered
through this rod.
He did not strike ore when he first be-
gan operations at ths point indicated b,
the rod, but so great was his confidence il
his continuance that he continued to sinh
his shaft until ore was reached at sixty
feet. Subsequent Developments have
proved the ledge to be very rich.
The Alamedan for whom the rod is be
ing built is also miner and will start fol
his favorite prospecting ground in North
ern California as soon as his contrivanct
is complete.

feet" or whatever the height of the fame
shooting up through the cylinder may be-.
This serves as a guide to the feeder, who
either increases or diminishes the supply
of fuel.
To keep up a regular supply of heat is
the mystery of the trade. and it requires
considerable practice to maintain it. If
too much is fed to the surface there is
danger that the balloon will catch fire,
and if too little is fed there is danger that
the hot air already in the sphere will cool,
and a collapse will be the result. The
feeding and the calling out goes on
until the balloon is filled to its capacity,
and the order is given "All ready" Then
it becomes the duty of the watch to place
a cover provided for the purpose over the
top of the cylinder to prevent any more
fire from ascending, and alter that is done
the order Every body let go" is given,
and the inflated bag rises, carrying with
it parachute and aerouaut, while along
side of the cylinder stands the watch, who
during his Imprisonment has become as
black as negro by the smoke that has
settled on his features and hands.

HUMAN BEINGS Who
RARELY SEE DAYLIGHT.
They Live in Dark Caverns and
Raise Mushrooms.
Curious Subterranean Excavations
Near Paris, Some Extending Under
the Streets of the City.

The cultivation of mushrooms (cham-
pignons decoucbe) is really a matter OF
ancient history" in France. The people
are so fond of them, and find them SO nu-
tritious as well as profitable, that very few
Frenchman are so poor as to be obliged to
do without their beloved vegetable.
Notwithstanding the antiquity of the
mushroom 1t is, even in these days OF en-
lightenment, mystery. Nobody, save
few savants, knows much about it. but
everybody in France knows that it can be
made to grow in almost any quantity de-
sired.
The MUSHROOM loves place that's cool,
damp and dark, and it is for this reason
that the mushroom is almost invariably
cultivated in subterranean excavations
throughout France.
In the department of the Seine there are
over 1000 of these caves, and in them live
about 300 acknowledgements" who
rarely see the daylight. The descent into
these caves is by way of rope ladders.
One of the most interesting sights
around Paris is the subterranean excava-
tons where this vegetable is raised; some
Of the caves are nothing more nor less
tudu LuQuelb, Willie ObucIS dlC CAholsotCo
stone quarries quite number of them ex-
tending under the streets of the city.
These caves have to be specially prepared
for their growth, and great care and atten-
ton is given to their keeping and perfect
preservation. The temperature varies but
little In summer. and only climatic intlu-
ences, that is, very wet or very dry sea-
son, more than one of heat or cold, tends
to affect the daily production of the beds.
| As nearly as possible temperature of AZ
degrees Fahrenheit is maintained. 1t is also
considered of great importance that the
air currents move invaria bly, in the same
direction. This should be from north to
south and never more than slightly appre-
ciable. The mushroom beds are prepared
by sprinkling quantity of dried and pull
verified wild mushrooms over a. layer of
earth heavily enriched; then. in alternate
layers, the mushroom powder and earth
are put together until height of about
three feet is attained. In about three
months from the time the bed is prepared
they begin to bear and when once started
continuously bring forth large quantities
each day, regulated more or less
according to the atmosphere of the caves.
