NEW IMPLEMENT OF WARFARE.

Invention by a Pole Which HendeFS
Destructive Weapons Useless. L."
The greatest benefactor of modern
times may be found in a poor Polish
chemist named Simon Pavlowski, Of
Warsaw. This obscure chemist has in-'
vented a new gas, which, if used in the
battles of the future, will put an end
to the horrible mutilations and terrible
deaths, on the battle field, says the New
York World. ..,.. sc. 49,,
The battles of the future will be the
harmless burstingEof Pavlowski shells,
filed with n gas which, as soon as fired
from its gelatine cage, will permeate the
atmosphere breathed by the enemy and
lull them into 15-hours' sleep, from
which they will not awaken until their
standards have been seized by the op-
posing army and their sleeping bodies
removed to place of safety.
The gas invented by Pavlowski is an
anasthetic which is forced into shell
made of geletine. When the latter
bursts in the ranks Of the enemy this
gas escapes, rendering every soldier in
the immediate vicinity soothingly un-
conscious for long time, but with no
other injury than to incapacitate him
for the time from, working against the
I opposing army.

School Statistics.

Or the 10000, 600 inhabitants Of the
United States almost one-fourth are
pupils in schools of some kind. U.s.
ually the proportion of school chill
dren to the. WHOLE population Of Il
civilized country is about one-fifth.
But we go Beyond this, showing what
young, strong, rich nation we are
We are nat ton OF young people be-
cause 30 many among us arc pupils of
school age; we are a rich nation be-
cause we can afford to let our chill
dren go to school instead of taking
them out to earn living while still
iii their tender years. 1t is to be
hoped the education tie young ones
are getting is of a quality worthy of
them, fitted to MAKE them patriots
and useful gentlemen and ladies.
In the rate of increase of our
school population there is signif-
cant fact. The whole country over
the school enrolment increases an
nually at the rate Of 81 per cent. In
city schools the increase OF the an
nual enrolment is 5.9 per cent, show
ing that our American cities are
growing in population nearly three
times as fast as the country. The
last census showed that the popula-
ton of some rural counties in the
older States had actually fallen off IN
ten years. The American seems to
be developing the tendency to be-
come city dweler. Nearly one
fourth Of our entire school popula-
ton is IN cities Of over 5000 inhab-
itants.
There are 494 colleges and univer-
sites in the United States, and 1G2
of these are for women students
alone. Twenty-Five years ago Al per
cent of the teachers in the American
public schools were men. Now the
men teachers are only 32.06 per cent,
the rest being women. 1t is note
worthy that Of the students studying
for professions in the United States
there are 212 times as many in the
department of medicine as in law.
For the higher education of color ed
students throughout the country
there are 179 schools, and of these
lOl are in seven southern States

Reports From the Sunbeam.

Reports from the Sunbeam of late
have been very flattering, and the man
agement is satisfied that this old wealth
producer will begin the duplication Of
its past record before the summer is
over.
So far. in the drift into the Wood
mansee ground from the Sunbeam
shaft, the vein has been stripped for
a distance of 50 feet, the extent of the
pocket, on the strike of the vein, hav-
ing been reached, and now the drift is
being pushed on again into virgin ter
ritory, it being the expectation that
another pine or chimney win soon be
encountered.
- .ou-- as the company can get
around to it, the ore body uncovered a
few days ago will be thoroughly inVes-
tigated, and it's extent and value fully
determined. This ore chute, as exposed
by cross-cuts from the drift, is a foot
wide on top, and two and a half feet
wide ct the bottom of the drift, the
average assay value being Sc per cent
lead, Sc ounces silver and so cents in
gold TO the ton, and the indications are
that with depth it will gain in size as
it is sunk upon.
The showing is certainly very en-
couraging, and this, probably, accounts
for the advance in the stock of the
company during the past two or three
days.

Grand Encampment.- A French Syndi-
cate purchases all copper ore in which
the occurrence of cobalt is shown, and
pays the market for both minerals,
delivered freight on board, at Wolcott.
This arrangement saves the mines not
only freight charges beyond Woicott,
but the cost of treatment as well. This
ore finds its ready market because of
the rarity of the cobalt.
In the northwestern part of the dis
trict, a, number of lead and silver pros
poets, some of them very promising, are
being developed. 1t is believed that
manganese will be found in this section
of the camp. If it is discovered it will
give Grand Encampment's silver and
lead ores the same favorable market
that cobalt gives to Grand Encamp
ment copper. So far, copper, cobalt and
gold have made the camp its reputa-
ton There is every prospect, however,
that steady shipments of lead and sill
Yer will be made this summer. If
manganese is found there will be no
doubt that silver and lead mines here
will rank in Importance with the eX-
traction of the other ores.
There is one mica mine in the camp
from which shipments were made last
year, and on which work is soon to be
resumed. The shipments were sent to
Chicago. They brought returns of from
Is cents TO SO per pound, according to
the size of the sheets. Blocks of from
two to ten inches square were taken
out
Asbestos has been opened up by
Noah Siever, the well known Deadwood
mineralogist, located in two distinct
leads. 1t is associated with pipe cop
per. Each of the leads can be traced
for more than 1000 feet. With sinking
on the veins width is gained rapidly
and the asbestos becomes almost free
from association with foreign sub
stances.
Nickel is another rare mineral, which
it is more than likely exists in the
Grand Encampment district. Fifty
pounds of cobalt ore have been sent
to Chicago to he tested for nickel, and
the result viii be known in a few
days. The cobalt occurs in black oxide
of copper. as far as has been shown by
the little development accomplished, it
comes in between so and 100 feet be-
low bedrock. An average of it's grade
in the properties where is has been
found indicates that cobalt constitutes
between 4 and per cent of the black
oxide. .e

works Case.
SAYS HE PNCHED HER
FOR MRS. BARHYDT'S
APPLICATION FOR DIVORCE.
Trial of the Morris Bribery Case Con-
tinued For the Term On Applica-
ton of the Defendants Counsel
Young Joseph Burroughs Has Re
formed-Miscellane Notes.

Yesterday was an uninteresting day in
the trial of the Ogden water case. The
defendants called and examined C. j.
Carey and H. T. Snyder. both members
of the city council at the time the con-
tract to lease and transfer the water
works to Boutwell, was entered into.
They testified that the water supply in
1889 and 1890 was insufficient for the de-
mands of thu city and that under the new
system the supply was ample in all cases.
They were of the opinion, however. that
the city could have so repaired and i'm
proved the old system that it would have
served for time at least. Under cross
examination they said that a few months
prior to the making of the Boutwell, con-
tract they reported to the city council
recommending that the city borrow 100
or $4,000 to be used in extending the old
system During the Loan & Trust COM
pany building fire the water gave out.
]. e. Coolidge, street supervisor, said
the old pipes were fairly good, but the
supply of water was insufficient, the old
reservoir was foul and leaky.
Colonel Stephenson. the hydraulic and
mining engineer, said that in the summer
of 1889 he was engaged by Ogden City to
make expert examinations respecting its
proposed change from one water system
to another. Witness at that timeefOund
the city derived its water supply from
Ogden river, Strong's canyon and Water
Falls canyon. The amount derived from
the first named source was 636, Al gallons
per "A hours.
The defense offered certain minutes of
the city council of Ogden of June %,
1883, but it was objected TO and the OBJ
lection sustained.
f. H. Anderson. city recorder of Og-
den, identified certain records of the city
council and testified to the correctness
of a resolution of the council ordering
the waterworks company to put in Il new
hydrantS, and recommending that the
pressure be maintained at about 100
pounds TO the square inch. The council,
prior TO the construction of the new sys-
tenn, made an order directing that when
a fire occurred the water be shut of from
other places in order to give enough pres
sure TO eXtinguish the fire. The council
also passed a resolution directing that
the cost of building a new system be as
certained.
In 1892 the assessed valuation of the
system was S16S. 900.
F. Higginbotham. jr., deputy recorder,
testified that in 1892 the system was as
sessed at s16S 900; in 1893 al S175, 900; in 1894
at 1851, 800; in 1885 at s157, 800; and in 1896
at 100000.
NJ. J. Hewett testified that in 1898 the
pressure averaged from 10 to 100 pounds
to the square inch.

Renewal of Activity In This Promis-

Grand Encampment, Wyo., April "a
During the past winter work has been
greatly delayed in all parts of the dis
trict. 1t was impracticable to haul
machinery and in many instances even
supplies, up the mountains. In num-
her of cases, winter came before ade-
ouate places of shelter for the work
men had been built, and in consequence
development had to be delayed until
spring.
These difficulties will not occur again
and from now on Grand Encampment
will be a twelve months district. Some
machinery has arrived here in the past
few weeks. a great deal more has
been ordered and will reach here about
May 1, when it is expected that very
little snow will remain on the Sierra
Madres.
Only. one mill is in operation. 1t is
working ten stamps. During the COM
ing summer ten stamps more will be
added to the equipment. This plant
is being worked to its full capacity.

ant, David EdmOnds, during the severe
electrical storm of last Wednesday
night, fell into a 50-foot shaft on Gold
en- Gate ground, about 2:30 o'clock on
Thursday morning, and he was not dis
covered and rescued from his perilous
position until 1880 Saturday night, al
though he cried for help until he was
hoarse, and during all this time he
was without food or water.

temporary injury to his arms, Mr.. Ed
mupds was not seriously injured, and
will soon be around again as well as
ever.
