BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS.

rThe Ohio Experiment station has issued a bulletin on bovine tuberculosis. Its con- clusions are summarized as foHows:l
 The disease is caused by the growth within the animal tissues of a vegetable organism, bacillus tuberculosis.
 Tuberculosis is produced in the lower animals by inoculation with tubercu- lous material from human subjects.
 Tuberculosis has been produced in man by inoculations with the tubercu- lous material from human subjects.
 The bacterium of bovine tuberculosis has not been specifically differentiated from that producing tuberculosis in the human subject.
 The development of tuberculosis in human subjects has followed in so many cases upon the use of the meat or milk of tuberculous cattle that there is no room to doubt that the disease is trans mitted from cattle to man in this man. ner.
 In view of the experience of other states it would seem that the rational method of extirpating bovine tubercu- losis lies not in the wholesale and imme- diate testing of all the cattle in the state and the slaughter of all reacting ami mals, but in such municipal action as will control the sale of both milk and meat within municipal limits.
 That tuberculosis is a germ disease, caused as surely by infection or con- tagion as are smallpox and measles, is confirmed not only by the innumerable cases in which it has spread through herds from single infected animals, but also by the fact that many herds of cat tie remain exempt from it, and this fact demonstrates the possibility of entire eradication of the disease

JOHN RUsKIN.

In the death of John Ruskin, the celebrated author and scholar, the world lost one of its greatest phil anthropists. MT. Ruskih was worth a million and a half dollars the min ute he was born, and before the zenith of his life was reached he was practically penniless. He had either given this money away or had expended it in scientific re- search. No one ever came to Mir. Ruskin in need or otherwise and asked for money who was turned away. As long as he had money it was the money of the world; the common exchequer for all. Even after all his extensive competence was sowed broadcast to the world and he was reduced to the slender income growing out of his books, he was still depriving himself for others.
 Probably the most striking ex- ample of his utter usefulness was in the case of his untimely marriage. When MT. Ruskin found that his marriage was an unhappy one and that both were unsuited he submit ted unmurmuringly, and when he found that his wife loved his friend he at once set about to free himself, and was ever after their frmest friend.
 MT. Ruskin died without means and for the few years preceding his death his mind was unbalanced. Few live who are more pathetic, and few have ever left an example of the pure unselfshness as that of Ruskin.

The first people to live in the twen- tieth century will be the Friendly is flanders, for the date line, as it may be called, lies in the Pacific ocean just to the east of their group. At that time, al though it will be already Tuesday to them, all the rest of the world will be enjoying some phase of Monday, the last day of the nineteenth century (De- cember 31, 19OO). At Melbourne the people will be going to bed, for it will be nearly ten o'clock; at Manila it will be two hours earlier in the evening; at Calcutta the English residents will be sitting at their Monday afternoon din ner, for 1t will be about six o'clock; and in London Big Ben" in the tower of the house of commons will be striking the hour of noon. In Boston, New York and Washington half the people will be eating breakfast on Monday morning, while Chicago will be barely conscious of the dawn. At the same moment San Francisco will be in the deepest sleep of what is popularly called Saturday night, though really the early, dark hours of Monday morning, and half the Pacific will be wrapped in the darkness of the same morning hours, which be come earlier to the west, until at mid way or Brooks island it will be but a few minutes past midnight of Sunday night@John Ritchie, Jr., in Ladies' Home Journal

EDUCATION.

In his message to the state legis- lature of Iowa, Governor Leslie M. Shaw addresses himself principally to education. He shows the splen- did progress in this department If his state and points out wherein this institution is the handspring of all advancement.
 The governor urges upon the leg islature he prime necessity of laws fostering the district and public schools; of making appropriation for normal schools, to be placed upon each of the trunk railroads of that state; to encourage the greater development of the several colleges, by public and private contributions. and to make the university uni versltY in all its several depart ments.
 What Mir. Shaw says of the schools Of Iowa is applicable every where. What We need is greater energy directed to school work, not only hy one body of law makers but by private assistance that has at heart the territory's welfare.
 What We particularly need for the advancement of the school system is educated teachers, and the better the preparation the farther reaching the result. To obtain this end greater opportunities must be given us in the vav of more and stronger institu:i-- and 6 secure these energy aLd money must be e1- pended.
 No greater need eyer visited the American people than the need of beng re7dy to meet and dispose of intelIigen,lY the monumental prob lens that confront us today. To meet them in a masteIful manner we must understand them, and to understand them We must study them.
 What people have greater ques- tions daily claiming their attention than the people of the great south west, where new conditions are con- tinually arising peculiar to this sec tion? Our development is little less than marvellous, and the rapid strides that we have made in our various pursuits have seldom, if ever, been exceeded.

Some of our territorial democratic papers are making desperate efforts to make it appear that there is big split in the republican party in the territory over the question of send ing delegates to the next national convention. If such were the fact, republicans would certainly know something of it. As it is, nothing is heard in regard to delegates to the next convention except what is seen in the democratic papers of popo- cratic tendencies.

THE ENGLISH AS INDUSTRIAL
 PROMOTERS.

One of the results of the war in South Africa, whether the British triumph or not, will be the aband- onment of that section as a gold mining ceDter 10 ope ate III, espe- cially by English capital. Tele- grams received sInce hostilities opened state that in the aggregate forty-seven claims, on which were as many quartz mills, dropping on all average fifty stamps to the mill, and owned exclusively by Englis capital, were idle and in many instances ruined. Another startling disclos- ure Is that all the bullion of these combined plants, aggregating in value nearly S3O0,OO, which was stored away, has been simply con- fscated by the Boer government and receipt rendered in payment therefor at some future time. With all these vexatiuus and uncertain conditions to face an industry, in a country which must of necessity be unsettled for years to come as a re suit of the conflict now going on, the intimation of English capital today to keep away from that coun- try under all conditions, is certainly a judicious one.
 Aside from Africa, or any other country, where in the past British capital has been in evidence In min ing operations. no one will deny the assertion that English money is far more desirable than any other in opening up the resources of rev mining country, or for that matter any section established in its hid den wealth. It seems to be a char acteristie of those people to specu- late frantically and at times ey' n stubboInlY on mining.
 In Arizona in the past, or for that matter at tine present, English cap ital is doing more to show up the country and materially develop it than can be accredited to any other foreign financial channel. The
 famed Kimberly diamond mines and gold veldt of South Africa owe their enormous production and develop ment to the Briton. solely. In the west the same industrial features are face to lace with us in hundreds
 of instances. With such forlorn
 state of affairs to confront English capital, such as the TIausvaal and other South African countries offer
 for the future on one hand, and on the other the stability and fairness of American laws in fostering and protecting aliens, and especially to those engaged in the mining iu-
 dustry, the future certainly offers a
 greater inducement for capital oi this nature to all who come along Especially so must the Arizona field be rightfully considered in this
 regard. Aside from the delicacy oi the great coDfict, in an industria sense, in the long run the most bit . ter hater of English principles of a traditional or other character must
 agree, nevertheless, that English promoters are liberal and steadfast and in mining especially is this un controveItible.

PICKPoCKETS' GAINS.
According to This Account It Is ( Fairly Remunerative Calling
 in the Aggregate.

The amount of money which pick pockets take in annually is probably greater than that of any other special ists in crime. It would be idle to say how large it is, but it is well-known fact that thousands of dollars are stolen by them at big public gatherings to which they have access. It was report ed, for instance, that at the recent con- federate soldiers reunion in the south $5O,OoO was stolen by pickpockets, and almost every day in the year one reads in the newspapers of a big "touch" reaching into the thousands. I think it is a conservative statement to say that in lifetime the expert pickpocket steals s2O,oO0. Multiply this figure by 1,50O, which I have given as the number of first-class grafters in the country, and the result reaches high up into the millions. Like other professional thieves, the pickpocket throws away his money like water and very seldom thinks of saving for old age, but prac- tically all successful mobs have fall money" tan expense fund for paying lawyers, etc, when they get arrested) of from S3,OO0 to S5,OOO each carefully banked, and I know of oue pickpocket who is the owner of some very valuable real estate. A good illustration of the rapidity with which they recoup them selves financially after period of rest or term in prison is the story told about one of them who returned to this country penniless after pleasure trip to Europe. The man related the in cident to a friend of mine. Didn't have red" he said. 'Itackled saloon keeper knew for couple of thousand. How long do you think was paying him back? Three weeks"
 If the pickpocket knew how to save his money and could invest it well his children might some day be our mil ionaires.-Isaiah Flynt, in Independ- | ent

McWill- Hams have filed notice in the record CTS office that, under the laws of Arizona, they have appropriated 1000 miners inches of the surplus and food waters of the stream known as Oak creek, iR, Coconino county, for delivery to consumers, rental, mill ing, irrigation, mechanical, stock and other beneficial purposes. They also give notice of intention to construct and maintain dam at a point on Oak creek just below the mouth of the west fork Of that creek and near the ranch of J. L. V. Thomas, which shall be the point of diversion, and that they intend to construct and maintain a system of canals, fumes or aqueducts from that point down the west side oT Oak creek canyon to a point whence the appropriated waters can be conducted by gravity from the western side of the canyon to Q point about two miles from Je- rome, which point shall temporarily be the terminal point. The purpose of the promoters Is to float timber and stulls through the Hume for use of the mines at JerOme.-Coconino Sun.

GENERAL WARREN

In speaking of the defeat of Gen. Warren, MT. w. F. Hull referred to his acquaintance with that gentle man as being among his most pleas ant. Gen. Sir Charles Warren spent some time in the west rusticating and making pleasure trips through out the territory. MT. Hull accom- panied him, hunting, fishing and camping out, and saw the true side of the distinguished Briton, who is modest, genial and companionable. Few would know by Gen. Warren's own statement that he was one of the foremost men of his country.
 The disaster that has befallen that gallant general comes with peculiar sorrow to those of Arizona who know him to be man who fights for Eng land because he believes it right,
 There is much surprise expressed that Warren would be entrapped as it seems that he has been, as he was the man of all men who seemed far seeing and especially careful. That he advanced to the crucial point with open eyes is evidenced by the dispatches that have come during the progress of his operations, but that he underestimated the strength of the Boers or overrated his own Is pretty certain by the result.

The smallest coin now current in Flu rope, and at one time having the least value, is the Greek lepton. The lepton is, according to the decimal monetary system, current in all countries belong ing to the Latin union. Some idea of this valueless little disc may be gath cred from the fact that the lepton is the one-hundredth part of drachma. The Greek drachma usually passes for the same value that franc piece does, that is, it is about equal to about 20 cents of our money.-Boston Globe.

The Clifford's have leased the Compromise stamp mill, located at Richenbar, and will operate it upon the ore of the Eighty-Eight mine that recently passed under MT. Clifford's control.
 The Compromise mill is a splendid affair. It is run by water power and is as complete as a mill can be made. The Hurst estate ran the mill for a year on the Richenbar ore. The Cliffords will haul the Eighty-Eight ore down the mesa and concentrate and amalgamate the output of the mine.
