Ingenuity OF Boys.

In physics and natural history there
are opportunities 20 direct and control
the out of soheol activities of young
people of which the enthusiastic teach
er of science is net slow to avail him
self, says ID. S. Sanford in The Allan
tic. One of the most astonishing faots
of the time is the ingenuity of boys in
coastrtxrting electrical apparatus, with
Eut few hints and oHt of the most
meagcr materials. i know boys who
have belt lines of electric tFamways cir
culatirg in their garrets, and a boy
who last year was the despair of his
teachers won deserved recognition in
the manual training exhibit Us the clev-
er inventor of most ingenious electric
al beat An invitation to boys TO bring
TO school products Of their own ingenu-
ity, or the natural history specimens
that they have collected, will result in
an exhibition which IN variety and quail
itS viii be revelation to one who is
not used to following them in these in
tereSts
So general and so wholesome n tend
ency is tso significant TO be ignored,
and yet one almost hesitates to NEEDLE
with it lest official recognition may rob
it of its Independence and spontaneity.
With sympathy from the school, how
ever, it may be directed and made more
intelligent. Interest in nature, for in
stance, may help TO fill profitably the
long summer vacations

The California Queen

1t is reported, says the Ashland Tidings,
that Messrs Roberts, Mcintosh. Jillson &
Co.. who are operating the California
Queen property near Henley. in the Coton-
wood district, Siskiyou county, cleaned
up $4,000 a few days ago after two weeks
run of their five stamp mill, and specimens
of the rich ore that is being opened up in
this ledge are enough to excite the eXpec-
tations Of a prospective Klondiker. The
California Queen, which is located In
Rocky gulch, about two miles from Hen
lev, was first discovered about thirty years
done on the property for fifteen years until
the present company took hold of 1t a
few months ago and put on it a five stamp
mill, which has a capacity of ten tons per
day; water power is used at the mill and
stamps drop 10 times to the minute. A
tunnel which is now in a distance of
go feet, strikes the ledge at depth Of
about $50 feet, where it is found to be seven
feet between walls, with the ore gradually
improving. The same company owns a
number of contiguous claims, including
the Sound Money, Norfolk, Henley, Chico
and Fairview, all of which show gold
quartz in paying quantities. Two shifts
are employed in mill and mine, and the
quarters are being added to. The company
also contemplates putting in an eight
horse power gasoline engine at once and
other improvements.

First avenue, with three false teeth which
he swallowed while asleep. When he re-
tired on Friday night he was suffering
from severe cold, and at o'clock in the
morning. when he awoke with severe pains
In his chest he thought he had swallowed
his teeth, but his wife said the idea was
nonsensical. She said the pain in his chest
was due to his cold. and she applied mus
tard plaster. When it did not relieve the
pain, Elliott jumped up to look for his
teeth, and found them missing.
Mrs. Elliott then called out of the win
dow to q policeman, who rang for an am
bulance. Meantime she gave her husband
an emetic without result When the ambu-
lance surgeon arrived he administered a
stronger emetic, which was equally USE
less, and then he decided to take Elliott to
the hospital.
The jolting of the ambulance was the
balm that saved Elliott, for just before he
arrived at the Presbyterian hospital he
had fit of coughing and dropped the teeth
on the ambulance floor. When he got to
the hospital he was put to bed suffering
from laceration caused by the teeth. the
shock from the accident, his cold and the
pain caused by the mustard plaster.-New

IRON BUILDINGS UNDER FIRE
A Practical Answer Given in Chicago
to a Much-Disputed Question

1t has long been a matter of speculation
how steel and iron buildings would with
stand the effect of a serious fire. At the
recent burning of the Shoeneman building
in Chicago, a new steel frame building,
having iron wrought pillars and steel grid
ers and beams. a practical test of the ques-
ton was afforded. The building was seven
stories in height and adjoined the Old
Colony building, seventeen stories high, on
the north, and the Manhattan building, of
sixteen stories, on the south. The wall be-
tween the Shoeneman and the Manhattan
buildings was party structure
When the burned building collapsed Il
pulled the party wall one inch and a half
out of plumb where the greatest strain was
exerted; but otherwise the Manhattan
building suffered no injury from heat OF
fire, except that some windows were
broken. The effect on the Old Colony
building was even less, according to the
report. The Manhattan building was
erected in 1890 at an expense of 100000. The
Old Colony building on the other side of the
burned structure was erected in 1891 at a
cost of $500 900 and was the tallest build
ing put up that year. The same architect
did not plan the two structures. and there
Is no claim. therefore. that the test made
by the recent fire should be construed as;
favorable to any class of architecture or to
the plan of any individual architect. The
report of the condition of the Old Colony
building limits the exterior damage to two
| terra Gotta Intel coverings, several will
dow sills and plate glass. The supporting
steel columns in the south wall were pro-
tected by heavy brick wall and by ho-
low tiles. like report is made of the
Manhattan building.-New York Sun.

Leon Promises Well

The new mill at the Leon mine will soon
begin extracting gold from the big pile OF
ore accumulated on the dump in developing
the mine 1t is the opinion of experts that
the Leon gives promise of being one of the
best mines in Southern California. &.
Smith, who has been engaged amcng the
rich mines of Amador county for the last
forty years, has been engaged as general
manager of the mill.
Mr.. Smith has inspected the mine, and
says that the formation and other indica>
tions are favorable, and that he expects
the Leon to become better mine than the
Good Hope.
There are 1000 tons of ore on the dump,
which is enough to keep the mill busy foc
almost q year, without taking any more
from the NINE 1t is the opinion of M,
smith that the mill will crush between six
and seven tons of ore every "a hours. Tho
Leon ore Is very hard, and milling is in
consequence somewhat tslow.-Winchester
Recorder,
