1t has been suggested that as ice at
only twelve degrees below freezing
has specific insulation of over one
thousand megohms, it might be possi-
BILE to have hollow conductors which
could be placed in trench filled with
water and used to carry brine for pur-
poses of ice making and refrigeration.
The frozen water would act as the in
sulator, and calculations have been
made showing that the arrangements is
feasible on commercial scale.
The consensus of opinion regarding
the origin of the migration of birds is
that it began during the glacial period.
The earth being then covered at
either end with cap of ice, all life
was confined to belt in the centre;
but thu ice receded a little at certain
seasons, leaving an uninhabited space
that afforded the quiet and seclusion
that all the higher animals seek dur
ing.the breeding period. The birds
went there accordingly to rear their
young, and, as the ice receded fur
ther and further, they migrated fur
tber and further.

The battleships ofmodern times are
a necessity to any great nation which
intends to maintain its rights and pro-
tect its interests, believes the Atlanta
Journal, but their cost is heavy. An
outlay of something like $1,000, 900 is
required to construct and equip ship
which would take high rank in any
modern navy. After such ship is
complete the expense Of maintaining
it is very heavy. This item for each
of our big battleships is now about
$500 day even when they do no fir.
ing. The daily expenses of our navy
are now over $50, 900 day. The total
annual expenses of first-class battle
ship are estimated at $547, 900, divided
as follows:

The cost of ammunition used dur.
ing an engagement is immense, but it
is of course impossible to estimate
this in calculating the expense of q

is large, but after every engagement
it is necessarily immense, even for the
victor. War on a modern basis is

MoNARCHICAL TENDENCIES.

LIME FOR THE SOIL.

One form of lime, gypsum, has been
shown to be 4 most effective corrective
of black alkali, found in some parts of
the Ur+:ed States.
It is impossible to state definitely
for all loca ions and conditions what
form of lime is cheapest to use. Caus-
tic, or qu:cklime, is the most concen-
trated form and consequently the
most economical to handle.
Lime in the form of carbonate. of
lime, as in mari, wood ashes, ETC., can
usually be applied with safety in the
spring or at any other season of the
year. but autumn is always the safest
time to apply caustic or Stacked lime.
The use of lime as soil improver is
very ancient, and it's value for this
purpose is generally recognized. Its
.ction as Il fertilizer is both direct and
indirect. There are many soils in
which lime is deficient, notably in
soils derived from granite, mica schist
and sandstone formations. On such
soils lime is of direct value in supply.
ing necessary element of plant food.
The frequency with which lining
should be practiced depends, among
other things, upon the character Of
the soil and the rate Of application
the number of years involved in the ro.
tation practiced, the plants grown anG
their order of succession. AS gener.
al rule, it may be stated that from one
half to one and one-half tons of lime
per acre every five or six years is suffi.

THE OFFICIAL CANVASS.

Who the next Governor Of Nevada
will be will probably remain in doubt
until the Supreme Court canvasses
the vote. According TO section OF
Article 5 OF the nstitutIou this will
not be done until the ,lIird Monday OF
December. The article provides as
follows:
@The returns Of every election for
Governor and other state officers
voted for at the general election, shall
be sealed up and transmitted to the
ssat OF government, directed to the
Secretary of State: and on the third
Monday OF December succeeding such
election, the Chief Justice OF the Su-
preme Court, AMI the 4 associate Justi-
oes, or a majority thereof, shall meet
at the office of the Secretary of State.
and open and canvass the election
returns for Governor, and all other
state officers. and forth with declare
the result and publish the names of
eAo pStoohc CLOSOSus LILO pSIbOuS
having the highest number of votes
for the respective Offices shall be de-
clared elected; but in case any two or
more have an equal number of votes
for the same Office, the legislature
shall by joint vote of both houses,
elect one Of said persons to fill said
office"
Between now and the third Monday
of Dece Der the people can speculate
upon who The next Governor of the
State will be as the contest is so close
between Mcmillan and SadIer that it
will require the official canvass to d.s-
eide it.
This decision may not he final as
the statutes provide "that any quail
fled elector Of the state may contest
the election OF any person declared
duly elected to any state office within
this state by filing specification of
the grounds of the contest with the
Clerk of the Supreme Court, which
specification shall be verified by oath
