II Is a Very Great Improvement Over
Old Methods.

Miners who have returned from the
Klondike say that in that region. as
in others where the winter temperature
runs down 10 well below zero. the bug
bear of the miner is the frozen soil In
which he has 60 work Under the in
fiuence OF frost the ground turns as
hard as a rock for several feet down.
and until this obdurate stratum Is cut
through, mining operations are at a
standstill. The way in which the soil
is softened has. so far, been TO build
a bonfire. and simply thaw things out.
This. however besides being tedious, Is
great waste of heat. 81 per cent Of
which is lost In the atmosphere.
A patent for thawing the ground
electrically has been sold for large
~lm. The invention Is intended to be
used for winter mining In countries
where the cold is severe. Specially
constructed dynamos and electrodes
are placed against the walls of the
shaft, with space of from five to six
feet of ground intervening; so that
when the current is turned on ii has TO
cross the face of this space to COM
plete the circuit. AS the ground con-
tanned therein forms a resistance to the
motion of the electricity, heat Is gem
Grated. and the ground is thawed. The
heat thus generated can be SO con-
trolled that it can be applied in any
manner that will utilize it's full force
and effect BY the old bonfire system
it took "a hours to freeze out "A foot Of
soil: by the electrical system it is
claimed that it is possible to thaw out
the same depth of frozen earth in one
hour, or "a feet per day.-St Louis
Globe Democrat

the Treatment Of Con-
sumption.

In two Australian towns away up in
the mountains there are now institu-
tons for the treatment of consumption
by the "new method" which calls for
little beside fresh air and food. The
"sun box" which the Australian doc
tors consider essential, is described by
the Melbourne Argus as frame struc-
ture. open at the top, about six by ten
feet in size.
"Why. lived in a sun box for years
when | first came 10 the country, but
we used 10 call il hut in those daysl"
some readers win be ready 10 exclaim.
There is this difference, however, be-
tween a hut and sun box, that the
former is a fixture, unless bush fire
or a hurricane comes along, whereas a
sun box should be constructed on a
pivot, or, failing that, on wheels, so
that its front may be readily turned
away from the wind. The reason is
that while fresh, pure air and sunlight
mean renewed health to the consump-
tive patient, the wind is injurious.
If you have no sun boxes, the patient
must be taken indoors whenever the
wind blows, but, given your sun box to
present its back to the wind, no matter
what quarter it comes from, and the
patient may remain in it all day.
In each of these boxes two or three
patients are placed on mattresses, and
there they lie all day long and drink in
the pure mountain air. If they are weak
their food is taken TO them, otherwise
they get it in the home.
Photographs show the treatment be-
ing carried out right among the gleam-
ing mountain snows-with the con-
valescent patients engaged in snow
balling!

FIRST DAILY WAS WRITTEN.
LOndOn's Earliest Newspaper Was in
the Manuscript of It's Cor
respondents.

1t has been discovered that what may
be called the first daily newspaper was
a manuscript letter written by salaried
correspondents and forwarded to them
every "a hours from London to the prov
inces. That was in the days of the early
Stuarts.
During the commonwealth these Lon
don letters were printed in type and
circulated in large numbers. Even so
long ago as 1850 the law of libel was
such as TO be characterized by Judge
, Scroggs as making any newspaper pub
hcation illegal and tending to provoke
a breach of the peace.
Defoe, the author of "Robinson
Crusoe," was one of the early journal
lists, his paper being called the Review.
Then there was Tutchin, whose weekly
publication, the Observer, cost, accord
ing to evidence he gave in a court of
justice, half a guinea to print, though
the typesetter evidently raised his price
to 20 shillings. The Observer had GER
titled circulation of 266 copies.
Afterward there came the Grants,
Steele, Addison and Johnson, who
might have lived in the vicinity of
Grubb street, but were court favorites
for all that.
The Times employed the first foreign
correspondent in the person of Henry
Crabb Robinson, and succeeded in
"scooping" the government itself iii the
news of the battle of Waterloo.

AN UNCUT DIAMOND.
As large as "A Hickory Nut and worth
Nearly One Hundred Thos-
sand Dollars.

A New York jeweler the other day
brought out small package no larger
than hens egg which was wrapped up
in a common piece of white paper.
Undoing it he showed what appeared to
be yellowish white pebbles about the
size of large hickory nut, says the Sun
of that city.
"a mere trifie," he said, ''but worth
nearly 100000"
The onlooker was amazed and took 1t
in his hand. "You mean $780," he sug-
gested.
mo, 100000. 1t is a South African
diamond that is still uncut, and there
are about $50 carats in it. At the rate
of $50 carat this would make more
than 1000, but, of course, the larger
stones are more valuable. / suppose
this is the largest diamond ever brought
to this country. The name of the i'm
porter? That's a secret which we are
not allowed to divulge."
Now that uncut diamonds are free of
duty the importations are on a much
larger scale than heretofore. The one
in question has been considerably
ground down, but had no polish or
sparkle to suggest that it was dia-
mond at all.

Dreams of Inventors.

at is wonderful how many persons
got their first ideas of what afterward
proved to be valuable inventions while
asleep or dreaming" observed patent
examiner to a Star reporter. Others,
after working for weeks or months on
an invention during their waking
hours, have had the whole thing come
clear TO them during a dream. On
the other hand, | have known of In
ventors to see in their dreams the Inn
practicability of their inventions on
which they had obtained patents and
TO change them so that they would be
practicable. In withdrawing their ap-
plications for amendment or improve
ment there are numbers Of instances
where inventors admit that they got
the better idea during "a dream. Some
Of the most successful money-making
patents were in this way dreamed
rather than worked out. Ii may be
that the ordinary inventor Is more OF
a dreamer than anything else. Ger
tain il is that nine-tenths of the pat
ents issued do not pay enough to pay
even their own expenses. and there is
not one in a thousand that pays any
thing like big money TO the inventor
or any one else There are very
large number of instances where in
ventors have been granted all the way
from five to forty patents. not one of
which has paid its expenses or is ever
likely TO do so. Like everything else,
there seems TO be less necessity or
opportunity for inventions as time
passes along, though there is as much
room and sale for good things, in this
line as there ever was. Capital is al
ways ready TO pick up and advance a
valuable invention, though it takes but
little stock in any invention unless
there is something more solid about IT
than a dream. The mere fact that the
dream is indorsed by the official pat
ent plays no part with 1t unless the
patent itself is of value. Capital
doesn't invest much in dreams of any
kind. d."-Washington Star.

Reynard Paia with Hss Life for HISS
Attempt to Get n Feast 0s
Young Lamb.

Sheep do not often go fox-hunting,
but when the fox comes TO them. events
may take the course they did on the
Denton farm at East Somerset, New
York. The owner of the farm brought
large dead fox 10 town, says the
World, and offered TO treat" if anyone
could tell in 20 guesses how the fox
had met his death.
OF course, everybody gave il up, and
then Mr.. Denton reminded them that
he is a sheep-raiser, and has large
flock of Dorsets, of which he is espe-
cially proud. With their large horns
these sheep make formidable show
ing, and they are so cross that il is
as much as a strangers life is worth to
venture across field in which they are
pastured Last summer a tramp was
overtaken by Dorset, and would have
been killed but for Mr.. Denton's inter-
vention.
OF late a score of lambs have been
born, and the bucks are more bellig-
erent than ever. One night Denton was
about retiring when he heard loud
bleating in the fold near the house,
and believing that dogs were around
and perhaps attacking the lambs, has
tened outdoors to investigate.
For a time the bucks refused to al
low him to enter the fold, but pres
emily they calmed down, and he went
in. There lay a fox, recently killed
and bleeding from numerous wounds.
A horn of one of the sheep had entered
reynard's body back of the shoulder
blade, and then his life had been tram
pied out. The fox's hide showed more
than 40 holes made by the sharp hoofs
and horns.
