ABOUT SUBMARINE MINES
HOW THEY ARE CONTROLLED BY
ELECTRICITY.
Important Part Played by the Mys-
terious Fluid i'm Modern Warfare
Contrvances Used.

From Electricity: Electricity as Il
means of controlling the engines of
war plays an important part This
is especially the case with submarine
mines and torpedoes, which are kept
under perfect control and made to act
at the proper time through the inf1u-
ence of the electric current. Suhma-
rine mines have been extensively used
in modern warfare, notably during
the civil war in the United States and
during the Franco-Prussian conflict
The last decade however has seen ex-
tensive Improvements i'm the method
of firing mines due to the rapid de-
velopmcnt of electricity.
Probably the simplest form of mine
and the one most extensively used ur-
til electricity came into general use,
was that known as the contact mine.
which consisted of an iron case con-
tanning an explosive attached to CT
bic, the latter having its lower ex-
tremty fastened to an anchor of some
sort. The iron case was provided with
a number of firing pins, any one of
which being brought into contact
with the hull of a ship fired a pre-
cusson cap and exploded the charge.
AS will be readily seen these contact
mines are not in any way under the
b an ~ of
dangerous to friend and foe. With
view to remedying this evil what is
known as the electro-contact mine was
invented. In this device the firing pins
on the case containing the explosive.
instead of exploding a PERCUSSION cap
when brought into contact with an
object. act as a switch by closing one
opening in an electric circuit. Anoth-
er switch is located in this same cir
! suit at station on shore, so that in
order to fire the mine it is necessary
to close the land switch at the same
! time that one of the pins has been
| driven in by the hull of a vessel II
| this is not done no explosion takes
! place, which enables friendly vessels
to pass in and out without fear of ac.
cidentally running afoul of a mine
and being blown up. as would be the
case with the ordinary form of CON
tact mine
, Numerous electrical inventions are
trolling and firing submarine mines.

This is the sentiment of quite number in

GEMS In CALIFORNIA.
A MAN WHO KNOWS OF A
DIAMOND FIELD.
A Secret for Fifty Years-History Re-
called of a Company Which Fleeced
tne People of That State Out of An
6normoas Amount of Money.

Californian soil will soon yield up to
the deliver in its depths something
more than the corn, wine and oil'
maj annually recur and increase. At
least that is what Col. A. Andrews says
In the San Francisco Chronicle, and he
claims to know what he is talking
ABOUT. Somewhere in the state, the
exact locality being known only to the
colonel n one or two others, he says,
diamonds are lying around promiscu-
ously; not lusterless yellow stones OF
doubtful value, but sparklers glisten-
ing In a beautiful c%oruscation of blue
and white-gems that open up visions

sonaDie assurance of all the meals in

andrews states his announcement her
aus no new discovery. The existence
Oh diamonds in California has been
known to him for the last forty-five
years. He says that at the time gold
was found here the precious stones
were also unearthed in a certain To-
callty that, for obvious reasons, he
does not care to divulge. Col. An
crews, instead of investigating the
matter at the time, has waited for
nearly half a century before deciding
10 take all-important step Of visiting
the place himself. Business reasons
nave been principally responsible for
thls delay, but now he has made up
MIS- MIND IN 1covo for tho n1oo M IN nom
pany with a party of prospectors to
learn whether his hopes, made roseate
by the receipt of occasional specimens
from the locality, are to be borne out
by rich discoveries. The colonel,
speaking of the proposed trip, said
that several times in early days people
brought rough diamonds into his store
to be valued, all the gems coming from
the same neighborhood. Most of
them" he says, were fully equal to
Brazilian stones. Thirteen years ago a
friend of George Acker, my clerk,
brought in a stone that looked like a
pebble. 1t weighed two and one-half
carats. l saw that it was a diamond
and had 1t cut and polished, the opera
tion revealing a beautiful gem full of
fire. 81 offered the man $500 for it,
but he would not accept. Since then
l have received similar stones, all of
them coming from the same locality.
Only three weeks ago l got another OF
these brilliants from a customer, who
has promised to return in a few days
and accompany me to the spot where
he found It," The announcement OF
this discovery recalls the history of the
"San Francisco and New York Mining
company" an organization that fieeced
the residents of San Francisco out OF
an enormous sum Of money by means
of a diamond mine that had been ju.
diciously sailed and found. That in

The Price of Kisses.

In Berlin a young German kissed
his sweetheart $3.50 times in two hours
and forty-eight minutes, and it didn't
cost him a cent.
Over in New Jersey a susceptible in
stalment collector stole a kiss from a
Mrs. Dias and was Enthusiastically
mulcted-in the sum of $3.50.
If that young German had had to pay
at the rate charged the New Jersey
collector he would have been out $780,
925. 1t would have been cheaper for
the Jerseyman to have bought a kiss in
a confectionery, where the best kisses
cost only thirty cents a pound. The
~Jerseyman's sad experience is not an
isolated case. Not long ago a man in
Brooklyn was fined 800 for kissing a
woman After a while, if this fool
ishness is kept up, the m who
wants a kiss will have to give an in
demnity bond or make a deposit be-
fore she gets what a Boston young
lady describes as a paroxysmal contact
between the labial appendages attached
to the superior and inferior maxil-
laries, respectively, of a man and a
woman, or two women.

payments are to be made. The whole
matter of paying is left entirely with
the head of each department, subject

and this is governed by custom rather
than by direct or expressed law. Thus.
in some of the branches of the treasury

notably in the redemption division,
while in others there are semi-monthly
pay days. In most of the branches of
the other departments there are semi
monthly pay days, though to the clerks

army paymaster, there is but one pay

always have been, advocates of fire.

Suddenly she developed a most severe
attack of asthma, finding great diff
Guilty in breathing. Another instance
is that of a young lady who was stung
on the back of the head by an ordinary
honey bee. In less than five minutes
her face began to swell and very
marked red and white spots appeared
all over the surface of the body. The
swelling extended over the entire per-
son, accompanied by severe pain, burn
ing and giddiness. The eyes were al
most closed and the countenance was
so distorted as to be unrecognizable.
Very free bathing in soda water, with
a little soda taken internally, and hot
applications to the feet and thorough
massage finally afforded relief, but it
was some hours before the patient re-
covered from what was truly an alarm
ing condition. Violent attacks OF
nervousness accompanied the trouble,
and the sense of s%uffocation was almost
intolerable. The young woman had
been stung a number Of times before
without any apparent unpleasant re-
suit. The physicians were Of the opin-
ion that the bee had been feeding upon
some extremely poisonous plant, which
became concentrated in the venom OF
the sting. Be that as it may, the con-
dition was such as to excite grave ap-
,p~rehension, the more so as it was sew
eral days before recovery was COM
plete.
