IMPROVEMENTS IN GLIDING.
Modern Methods Insure Better and
Less Dangerous Work.

In nothing has the superiority of
modern over former methods been made
more manifest than in the various pro-
cesses employed for gliding, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Now the
greater portion of gilded articles are
gold-covered by means of the electrical
bath. Formerly gliding was done by
laborious and troublesome processes,
in certain stages very detrimental to
the health Of the workmen. The old
time gliderused an amalgam Of gold and
mercury, causing it TO adhere to the
bronze article by means Of nitrate of
mercury, the nitrous and mercurial
fumes being poisonous, always en-
dangering the health Of the workman,
and sometimes inducing iacurable dis
ehsc. Now the article to be gilded is
placed in an electric bath. the current
is turned on, and in short time the
piece is ready for the burnisher. Gid
ing by means Of gold leaf and gold pow
der is still practiced, the work being
mostly done by hand, but it's delicacy
is such as to require long practice and
great experience. An amateur glider
has no earthly chance of success---his
work will always show the inexperienced
Of the workman.

SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL,
A Smokeless Fuel That Seems to BE
Gaining In Popularity.

In the future we may be exporting
masut instead of exporting coal, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Masut is n
by-product in the distillation of raw
petroleum. It is also manufactured
from a cheap brown coal found in Sax
only. There has been, until recently,
great trouble in finding furnace suit
able for burning it. It is now blown
by steam into n special furnace, on the
principle of the Lucigen light, and used
without difficulty. 1t is 40 or so per
cent. cheaper than coal, and is 90 per
cent. better as heat raiser. Steam can
he got up quicker and kept at higher
pressure, and more work can be done
by the machinery. From a naval point
of view these are vitality important
facts. No sign of ship under full
steam will be shown in the sky, for ma
suit is smokeless fuel. Russia and
Italy are using it in their navies, and
Germany has lately made some valuable
experiments. At Kiel, Wilhclmshaven
and Danzig are tanks from which it
can be pumped into ships. It's specific
gravity being so much less than that
of coal, ships buoyancy is greatly in
creased when the bunkers are filled
with it. Heavier armor or cargoes can
be carried. The heating capacity be-
ing greater, the ship can travel faster or
farther. 1t is yet to be learned what
Improvements the Germans have intrto-
duced into their furnaces, and what
are the disadvantages of masut.

AN AFRICAN POISON STORY.

Strange Phenomenon witnessed An
the Northeast OF the Dark Continent.
Charles II. Stern, of Chicago, who
lately returned from a journey through
Northeast Africa, told of q curious me-
neurological phenomenon which he OBJ
served in the district called Gwallah,
reports the New York Mail and Elk
press. "The vegetation in that. region
is very luxuriant," said he, land t'le
plant life must give off IN unusually
large quantity of carbonic acid gas. At
least, that was the conclusion reached
after seeing three natives die nnd four
or five dogs. 1861. ....
1.-The moment the animals put their
noses close to the ground they would
fall over and gasp, and die in about five
minutes. The natives who died slept on
the ground instead of in hammocks, as
others did. My theory is that n stratum
of the deadly gas covered the ground
for depth of three or four inches, and
any living thing breathing in that area
was asplyNiated.
"I could not understand, however,
how the :c1s was not distributed in a
thinner layer, and what kept it in one
place for a whole day. Nothing like it
had ever been known there before. The
deaths of the men and the dogs all &C.
CURED within "a hours. Then the gas,
if it was really gas, seemed to be dissi-
pated. 1t was a very strange occur
renee and might have been induced to
make a more exhaustive investigation
if my presence had not excited distrust.
got away as quickly as possible rather
than be accused of being the cause Of
the sudden deaths. The natives are SUI
perstitious, and attribute most of their
misfortunes to witchcraft, so thought
it the part of wisdom to get away"

A BIG SUIT.

Messrs. Wren, Wheeler md JUL an
have commenced an action in the
District Court of this county in favor
of II. q. Irland and against j. G. Tay-
Tor that will attract general and wide
spread attention amongst shee pmen
cattle men and ranchers, in Eiko
county especially and throughout the
State generally.
The action is for 5000 damages,
alleged to have been suffered by r.
lend in consequence of the herding
OF i'aylor's sheep ON Trail creek, the
waters of which. it is alleged. Inland
appropriated for the purpose of irri-
eating his ranch in 1887.
1t is alleged that the herding OF the
sheep en- the creek and it's tributaries
has diminished the flow of the water
and polluted it so that it is unfit for
domestic purposes and for the
watering of Irlaud's cattle and
horses.
In addition to damages, Irland asks
for perpetual injunction restraining
TaI lor from herding his sheep on the
creek and it's tributaries.
This suit will settle one way or the
other the right winch the sheepme IL
claim to herd their sheep on streams
of water that have been ap ,ropriated
and are owned by ranchers and
others.

Cabbage Llce-A Preventive Meas
ure.
Newspaper B IlleI In No. 96.)

Newspaper B llleItn No. 96)
During the present season cabba-
ges throughout the Truckee valley
have been very seriously injured by
plant Ire, one species Of winch in
tests oabbages and allied plants very
generally throughout the United
States.
Several other insects, also, prey
upon the cabbage in this locality, but
none seem to do the crop such per-
manent injury as the lice. These APP
pear very early in the season and ow-
my to their very rapid multiplication
they are able to keep all but the
strongest plants nearly covered by
them throughout the season. The
result Is the plants are stunted, the
leaves curl and finally wither. The
youngest and tenderest leaves are
usually worst affected. often wholly
preventing the formation OF the
head.
II is too late ia the season to at
tempt any well defined efforts to-
wards the benefit Of the present crop.
Such course will be outlined at the
beginning o, another season when the
need Of such information will make it
more acceptable and useful than if
given now.
The purpose of the present bulISE
tin however, is to call the attention Of
those interested to the importance Of
removing from the field at the close
OF the present season every trace of
cabbage whether if be leaf, head or
root. Many OF the lice will live over
winter if they can find bit of cab
bage plant upon which to subsist.
They are then ready iur the first
young plants set in the spring.
If the same ground is to be reset
following year sucha course is most
important. If adjacent ground is to
be used it is still important because
many Of the lice have wings, permit
ting their spread to adjoining fields
at least 1t is due to this fact that
we are not to expect to wholly pre-
vent the attack of the future crop by
the insects. Yet such u course can
not fail to be of great benefit, par.
ticularly i'll delaying the appearance
of the pest the following year, until
the plants have become sufficiently
strong to resist them.
Furthermore. it is not always sufi.
Client to remove refuse cabbapes
alone. These insects, while pests OF
the cabbage preferably, yet feed also
upon it's near allies, caulihower, ruta-
baga, turnip and radish, also upon

You would not want saloon near your

as a man. but in the saloon business
there are too macy temptations to even
the best of men,"
Rev. A. w. Rider Of the Memorial
Baptist church, referred to the fact that
there had formerly been two saloons in
that neighborhood and that one was
closed because of a murder having been
committed in 1t. There remains one sa-
loon there, and he urged the commission
not to make possible another. j. E. Sis
son, George Coulson and Robert Hotch-
kiss placed themselves on record as op-
posing the granting of the license.
Councilman Toll also appeared for the
protestants. He said he knew nothing
of the applicant but opposed, the licerse
on the general proposition that saloons
in a residence district were to be avoid
ed if possible. He referred to the small
police force of the city and the admitted
n ecessity of having at least two police
men in any district that contained, sa-
loon.
