A POPULAR MOVEMENT.

We direct the attention of the board of supervisors to the following from the Tucson Star which attests to the popularity of the movement in which the board is expected to take paPt:
 The business men of Phoen.x are showing a most laudable spirit in pro- viding the means for properly adver- tising the valley of Sait river and the capital city. They have raised about thres thousand dollars and will add one or two thousand dollars more for this purpose, and the county superv.s- ors TiH appoint a commissionsr of immigration to carry out the purposes of the progressive people Of Maricopa county Phoenix has received much benefit from advertising her resources. A large part of the capital invested in Phoenix and the valley was the result Of capital being informed of the re- sources of that section of the terri tory by tud;cious advertising What Phoenix has done other localities should also do- What Phoenix is now doing cher settlements in the terri tory should do; advertise their re- sources. It pays to do so and it is money and labor well invested. Tue son can learn 9 valuable lesson from the business courage and push now be- ing shown by our capital city"

TO MAKE ARTIFICIAL COTTON.

Artificial silk appeared strange. bu: there seemed to be a reasonable expec- taion Of obtaining a margin of profit in it's manufacture. but artificial cot ton, to an American at least, would hardly suggest itself According to our consul at Reichenberg. in North Bohemia, however, a process has been devised for the production of artificial cotton from the wood of the fir tree, immense forests of which abound in the district. The wood is first reduced to thin shaVings. then placed n q washing apparatus and exposed to the influence Of steam for ten hours. They are then subjected to a strong solution of sodium lye, and are hea ed under great pressure for thirty-six hours. The wood is thus changed to pure eel lulose, and to give this gre ateT resist ing power some castor oil, caffeine and gelat.ne are added. Tiis mixture x then reeIed off in threads. much after the manner of producing artificial silk. Reichenberg is the center of a large cloth manufacturing industry, and as all the cotton used has to be imported from America and India, ard the fir ab0unds here. there is some possibl- ity of the artificial product being m9da 2s cheaply as the natural one In this case the artificial product iS not sub stitute, as it has identically tho Same composition as na,5ural cOtt0n-Phil- adelphia Record.

AN EARTHQUAKE T0 ORDER.
The Fourth Of July Celebration That
 Was Seen by 10000 People.

Victor, COlo.-An artificial earth quake was successfully produced here July 4 by the explosion of a great
 charge Of dynamite The experiment
 was witnessed by 10000 persons. The
 whole city, mountains nolr by and 1 those miles away were made to trem- ble in no uncertain degree.
 Tns mines of dynamite were pre- 1 pared on the summit of Big Bull noun | tain about mile east of the town. Big | Bulls altitude above the sea level is
 nearly 12,O00 feet. Its apex r-ses quite | 2,0O0 feet above the city. General | Frank M. Reardon, chairman of the
 celebration committee, and late briga-
 dier general comm nding the Colorado
 national guard, planned the earth quake for the purpose of drawing v.s- | itoIs here from the different towns in | the Cripple Creek district
 Some people regarded the pan as hazardous, but it proved to be 3 great attraction. In order to demonstrate what would result from the firing Of dynamite on the surface of the noun tain, 100 pounds Of the explosive were set off some days ago at a point mid way between the base and the top of Big Bull This test was convincing It caused an earthquake and the town
 was SLdrA0S1 SIOISul4S, DuL JlO CInGSS was done. Then it was decided to util- ize five tons of dynamite on the sum mt. The recurrent vfbrs tions pecu- liar to earthquakes were realized. From beginning to end tha experiment was entirely satisfactory. Huge bodies of smoke gathered over the mountain as the mines were regularly exploded and heavy masses of granite were lifted high in the air. The earth trem- bied at each blast. Small rocks were thrown in all directions for many miles, One notable reS1is was that the sound waves wsre sent through the deep canyons and gulches for distances estimated at seventy-five to 10o miles, The reports were duplicated several times after each explosion. Instanta- neous photographs were attempted from 3 number of elevated points in the vicinity.
 Reports from places up to eighty miles distant say that the explosions were plainly heard.-New York Sun.

SPANKING BY MACHINERY.

The penologists of the country have adoption in Colorado prisons of an in genious device which does credit to the inventive faculty of the mind which contr;ved it. whatever the con census of opinion shall be as to its adaptabilfty to state institutions This is 2 spanking machine which is used whenever prisoners get so obstinate or unruly as to be TO longer affected by moral suas:on The machines are of two kinds, one for men and one f0r women. The men are strapped 10 a wooden horse for the punishment, while the women, cl0eheI in light suits arc made to sit in chair that has no bottom. The paddles are tirsn operated This use of male and fe~ male spanking machines, 50 to speak, must be a great boon to the modest warden whose stern duty compe.s him to deal with refractory lady board CTS. The inventors forethought has enabled him 10 seat the lady gallantly in a chair, provide her with a bottle of smelling salts and supply of hand kerchiefs, and then go out on the back steps and smoke while the machine does it's unpleasant work.
