A French physician has proved to
certainty that the contagious period in
whooping cough comes previous to the
appearance of the "whoop." Now the
question arises, how are children to be
guarded against the contagion and OF
what use is it to quarantine them
against going to school after the
'whoop" has made it evident that they
have the distase. Physicians are now
studying these new problems.
With an apparatus called the myo-
phone M. DArsonval has proved that
the nerves may, contrary to the old be-
lief, live many hours after the death of
the body. This cannot long be made per-
ceptible through the eXcitability of the
muscles, but the sound in the instrument
shows that a nerve may act on a muscle,
in a state of electric excitability with
out producing more than simple molecu-
lar vibration.

SET TYPE BY WIRE
An Australian Invents a Device by
Which Matter Is Set by telegraph

Donald Murray, a newspaper man OF
Sydney, New South Wales, has invented
device by means of which an operator
in New York, with keyboard before
him like that of an ordinary typewriter
not only can produce typewriter copy
in New Orleans, but it is claimed that he
can operate typesetting machine there
and deliver his matter there in lead
ready for the forms. Not only that, but
the same operator by using a number
of telegraph lines. can put up the same
copy simultaneously in dozen different
places In this operation only ordinary
currents are used, and are subject to all
conditions of ordinary telegraphy The
work can be done with the same speed
as an ordinary typewriter Is operated,
and dispenses with clock-work mechan-
ism, synchronously moving type wheels
and other cumbrous devices. 1t is said
to be capable of manipulating eighty
characters.-Press and Printer

PERRIS

PERRIS, Oct. 25.-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) Never before in the history
of the Perris mining camp has there
been such an era of prosperity dawning
for the region adjacent to Perris. The
Gavilan syndicate has ordered a 10
stamp mill from the Union Iron works,
San Francisco, ordering it by wire. They
have struck a great deal better quality
of ore in the bottom of the shaft, some
400 feet deep, than they had yet uncov-
cred, and as the value of the ordinary
rock was over $40 per ton the new load
must be bonanza. Richmond Walker
was in town Saturday night celebrating
the procpscts.
The Hillside mine, owned by Bud
Waller and Q. e. Reynolds, is sinking
slowly at the rate of foot per day. The
ground is extremely hard. They are
down 81 feet and the ore is good, both
in quality and quantity. They will prob
ably have a test run in a short time at
the Virginia mill.
The Virginia people will finish the
erection of their 10-stamp mill one day
this week. They have a large quantity
of very high-grade ore lying on the
ouIup, dllu Tie HILL Will De started on
that as soon as it is in working condi-
ton. Their power amounts to some
thing over 75 horsepower, and they use
| Elsinore coal.
The Union Iron works, which fur
nished the 10-stamp mill for the Gavilan
people, will erect the mill and furnish
months run before a dollar is paid
on the plant. The mill, it is reported,
will be in actual operation on Christmas
day, and might be considered a gift to
the company.
| This district now contains, or will con-
tain by December 25th, as soon as the
Gavilan is finished, eighty stamps and
one Huntington mill.
The Good Hope cyanide plant is run

SOLDIERS HOME, Oct. 25.-(Regu-

]. Smith, our governor, arrived at the

The governor was accompanied by
Colonel Brown, inspector of the national
homes, and was received by spontan-
eous outpouring of the members of the
home. At least 700 must have gathered
to receive him and greet him with loud
cheers. He was evidently deeply moved
at the warmth of his greeting, and in
reply to the cheering and the remarks of
some of the old boys of willie, we have
missed you,' made a short and telling
speech, stating he was as glad to be
with them as they seemed to be to have
him, and would not again, if he could
help it, absent himself.

Whereas, God, in His infinite wisdom

upright official life, high character and
genial sunny disposition he won the
respect and confidence of the entire
community in which he lived and en-
deared himself to the hearts of all with
in the circle of his acquaintance.

tendance. The Womans auxiliary will
commence to hold their meetings for the
season on Monday afternoon, Nov. 1.
AS a sample of the subjects handled
by the Redlands clergy on a Sunday,
the following We're presented yesterday:
DR.. Miller at the Presbyterian, "Some
Things not to be Given up" Rev. ]. II
Williams at the Congregational, BE

1t may seem strange that with all its
electrical advantages Redlands has to
pay much higher for street lighting than
other cities, and that while they are
preparing to send a stream of 5000
volts to Los Angeles, it's own street cars
are dragged slowly and antiquely along
by the aid of weary mules. After sup
plying all outside demands, if the
company have any electric fluid left,
and can get price large enough, it is
possible that Redlands will revel in
electric cars.
The great mystery" is finally unrav-
eled. A carpenter came to Redlands,
and securing work, faithfully applied
himself to his trade for two weeks,
when young man took him to one side
and whispered to him for a moment,
when the workman quietly packed up
his tools and left without waiting for
his pay. He is an escape from High
lands and has been taken back to his
| prison.

TONED TO SEA BY A FISH.

W. l.. Kennedy went fishing near Will mington, N. O., the other day. He threw his line, very large, strong cord, over board and made the end fast to tho painter of the boat. In a few moments the boat gave sudden lurch and immediately shot forward for the open sea as though pro- pelled by steam. The seas were rolling high, Kennedy says, and he expected every minute to be his last. Kennedy soon realized that he was being lowed by some big fish, and, despite his tireless efforts to keep the boat straight and pull against his rushing tug, the chopping seas soon swamped his little craft
 For more than three hours Kennedy and his waterlogged boat were lowed to sea and would have been lost had not the line chafed and parted near the fish's month. The boats painter was chain fastened with staples under the cap of the boat, and the fishing line was made fast to the end of the chain, so that Kennedy was pre- vented from using his knife to sever the twine
 He thinks it was shark that gave him his free ride.

 St. Louis Aug. S.-A special from Dal- las. Tex. to the Republic says The lightest vote at general election every oplled in Texas was probably cast today on thA three constitutional amendments. Returns up to Il D. m. tonight indicate that not to exceed three-ffths of the voters of the state took the pains to go to the polls, This apathy was especially pronounced throughout Northern TSxas.
 Th+ irrigation amendment and the amendment to validate the public issue of bonds of certain new counties, and which the state bought with the perma- ncDt school fund to the amount of S3,- o00,000, appearto have been adopt4d but the anaendmerf to permit certain coun- ties to issue bonds to subsidize new rail- roads is probably defeated. The strong est opposition to th= irrigation amend ment is said to have been found in the vote of East Texas. The fate of all the amendments will probably turn on the extent of the vote in Western Texas, where the principal irrigation interest is ceutered. as they are operative there.
