BILL NYS.

The death Of Bill Nye removes from
his sphere Of usefulness the greatest
mirth maker the United States has
ever prOduc91.
While not as fine a writer as Twain
or as happy in descriptive effect, or
with the same command Of English,
he was deep in homply philosophy,
unerring in his Judgment Of public
men and had a splendid knack of
puncturing shams and humbngs.
He has beer before tha public for
years and his success never tagged.
Most of the humorists write them
selves out, but Nye made the world
laugh up to the time of his death.
While he made as high as $4,000 a
year with his fun and his lectures, he
really despised the whole business,
with a contempt that was genuine and
hearty.
He once expressed himself to the
writer in Laramie City.
II wish the mar who first prompted
me to be a humorist was dead and
buried a thousand feet deep. 1t has
been the error of my life. I have
tried hard to convince the world that
I can write good poetry, but they wont
have it hat way, and so having once
put on the cap and bells I am not al
lowed to take them off
He showed the writer a collection Of
his serious poems and they were 50
good that had he written hui OF
they would have given him a nation
al reputation. As it was they never
got beyond Laramie, and the fact that
the poetical side Of his nature was
never recognized Was always a source
of deep humiliation to him
He passes to his grave with the sin.

The News Of last evening calls at
teDtion to the war of words now going
on between the Enterprise and Silver
State and the Gazette and Journal.
The APPEAL c@ncurs n the idea that
the wal has gone far enough. These
papers would be better employed
booming the section Of the country
where they are published than in
dulging in wOrdy personal abuse.
All hands are charging each other
guilty Of. They are all pretty good
fellows and life is too short, especially
in a get-up-and-hustle sort Of country
like Nevada, to get down to a class Of
Billingsgate that reminds one of San
Francisco journalism in its worst
stage.
1t is an error to suppose that Fitz
simmons is the champion Of the world.
In his challenge he barred Peter
Jackson. Jackson came to the United
States as champion Of Australia. He
fought Corbett to a draw, and Corbett
would never give him a return match.
He then went to England and de-
feated Slavin. This made him cham
pion Of Australia and England. Fitz-
simmons must thrash Jackson before
he can be champion Of the world. The
giving of the belt to Maher by Corbett
is only looked upon with derision by
sporting men. Fitzsimmons has a
perfect right to ignore Corbett-who
oplv wants to advertise his show-and
go straight to England and meet
Jackson.
There is a pretty bit Of symbolism

Tempering Steel.

Many an amateur blacksmith, and,
indeed, not few professionals, are IN
able to temper steel properly. espec-
tally for such implements as mill-picks
and rocl-drills. To do this IL easy
enough provided one knows how.
The most important point Is not to
overhead. "If cast steel is made white
hot. 1t is spoiled; yet il person takes
a chiscl, mill-pick or other poin5ed
tool to be repaired. the smith pushes II
into the fire. The point Is white-hot
They will now push it in and ont Of
the fire q few times, and at last bring
it out rcd-hot and work it. OF course,
it is already spoiled, and no matter how
low u is tempered, 1t is next to use
less. Take one TO the smith, and see
that he puts the body of the tool In the
fire, leaving the two thin ends uncov-
cred till the middle is red-hot. As
soon as the middle is red-hot, pull
back, and let the thin end just get a
dull-red heat. 1t must now be ham,
mered edgeways first, and railways last
OF all. 1t is best to hammer 1t on the
nat part Oh the ANVIL, as uIdWlub SltVi
on the edge OF the anvil, although a
great deal quicker, makes 1t short In
the grain and always causes the tool
to break in the thinnest place. Serve
the other ends the same. only repeat as
soon as IL loses it's dull-red color. The
lighter the blows in working steel the
tougher 1t is. The point should be
quite as thin as a filters chipping
chisel, only a little longer: then IL will
not require doing up so often. When
the ends are drawn out the middle will
have lost its red heat. The ends can
now be filed a little. Now to temper
them. Heat them in the flame Of the
fire. using great care. When a very
dull red heat, cool in rain water with
the chill taken of. about three-quarters
of an inch from the end, and let down
TO blue; IL 1t should be too brittle, a
little lower. Serve the other end the
same. Cool all over. Grind the edge
rather blunt. and for the first few
blows hit as light as possible. The
secret Is in working IL as at low heat
as possible, only keep on repeating
very often. and to hit IL edgeways as
little as possible. but railways as much
as you like.

Something About Filters.

Every year there are numbers OF fill
ters put on the market, each one set
ting forth some special claim to excel
lence. AS a matter of fact, half n
dozen thicknesses of fine soft cloth are
exactly as good as any filters in the
market. The cloth will not remove
disease germs from the water, neither
will any of the ordinary filters. The
cloth will take out organic matter and
objects largo enough to be seen. Dis
ease germs that must be magnified a
thousand times in order to be visible,
will go through any OF the substances
used for filters, with as much ease as
mice will get through a stone pile.
There Is more fallacy to the square
inch in filter theories than in almost
anything else with which the general
public has to do. 1t is a great mistake
to suppose that the ordinary filter is a
protection against disease. IL not only
is not that, but 1t soon becomes a most
prolific disease breeder, Is in fact hot
house for microbes. and infinitely more
dangerous than unfiltered water. 1t is
a popular error that organic matter,
especially that which produces green
scum, is so injurious. An uncontami-
mated pool covered with a green blan-
ket is much more likely to be health
full than spring running perfectly
clear with its headwaters near some
old dwelling. and possibly receiving the
drainage of ccsspools or other danger

Ice Made as Wanted.

The accompanying cut shows a hand
ice-making machine. The machine is
constructed on the well-known princl-
pie that water will freeze when rapidly
evaporated by means of a vacuum
pump and powerful absorbent, and the
machine therefore consists mainly OF a
powerful vacuum pump, a vessel called
the absorber, which contains sulphuric
acid of the common comercial descrip-
ton, and a vessel to contain whatever
is required to be frozen or cooled.
Naturally, the pump is the most i'm
portant part of the whole machine,
and care has been taken to so design
it that it will produce practically per-
feet vacuum when worked at q slow
