A PARIS EXPOSITION NOVELTY
The Imitation Voyage Which May be
 Taken on the Grounds.


 Taken on the Grounds.
 Possibly the most striking of the many novelties which will be offered to the visitors at the coming Paris ex- position will be the "Mareorama." aa it is called. This is q great mock ocean steamer. It is arranged pre- eisely like ene Of the transatlantic yes sels, has a crew and captain, and even the motion of a ship speeding through the waves. It does not move from the spot on which it is erected, but to those on board the illusion promises to be perfect. The passengers are SUD- posed to be on journey from Mar seilles to Constantinople, and as the last bell sounds "all ashore the harbor of MarseilIes seems to recede from the vision, the vessel passes out to sea, and all of the scenery of the coast passes in view. This is done by a large number of paintings which unroll in panorama fashion, and are so re- alistic that the observers, if not over critical, may really imagine that they are taking the sail. The vessel rocks and throbs as if 1t were really on the ocean, and this is brought about by the machinery which gives the vessel the required motion. Meals are served and if you are not careful you viii find your soup in your lap. Genuine sea sickness will be the portion of all pre- disposed to that ailment, an6 it will be almost as if the actual voyage were taken, except that it will last but a short time. The coast of Algiers, Tunis, and much of the Mediterranean sea will pass before the eyes of the passengers, and at last, the Golden Horn. the por1 ef eonstantinopie will be entered. The paintfng of the pan orama has been entrusted to Hugo d'Alexis, a graphic artist who has de- picted the scenes in all their natural beauty. It will be a cheap and speedy method of making the journey. not to mention the novelty of experiencing all of the pleasures and some of the qualms of a long sea voyage. without the least danger of shipwreek.

WATERS OF DEATH.

Spring" in the Rabbit Hole Noun
tains. again brings into prominence
this terror Of Nevada stockmen.
The spring is situated in Humboldt
county, New. It's waters are so i'm
pregnated with arsenic that death
results to most creatures that drink
it. Running from the spring is a
tiny stream, clear as crystal, which
sinks into the ground about 100 yards
from the spring. Along the banks
of this stream are to be found the
bones OF hundreds Of small animals,
and even of deer, sheep and cattle
that have drank of the water and
died.
Stockmen have built high fence
about the spring and, SO far as pos
sible. have enclosed the stream. It
seems impossible. however, to keep
stock from drinking the water. Sit
uated many miles from any other
water supply, cattle will get to it
no matter what precautions are taken
to prevent them. Hundreds Of head
of stock are lost each year on account

STEWART DENIES.

The Carson Appeal publishes the
following regarding the report that
Senator Stewart has gone into the
Republican camp.
Now that the Presidential cam
paign is approaching the gold press
is ut its old tactics reporting the
changing of prominent Silver men to
the ranks Of the gold standard. SEN
ator Stewart has been reported as
having deserted the cause Of silver.
A few days ago Surveyor General
Kelley wrote him of the reports in
this State regarding his alleged
change to the Republican ranks. and
yesterday the following dispatch came
from the Senator:
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2, 1900.
Hon. E. d. Kelley:-Letter ie-
ceived. Report that I have aband-
oned silver or changed any Of my
principles is another canard of pre-
cisely the same character and prob
ably invented for the same purpose
as the one that appeared year and q
half ago in the New York Times.
That paper published statement
purporting to be an interview in
which it made me say that l had
turned gold-bug, when in fact 1 had
no interview at all. The present
story is one of the same fabrication.

PROPOSED LEASING PLAN.

Senator Wolcott of Colorado has
introduced a bill which outlines q
plan for leasing the arid lands of the
West. II is probable that the bill
will be considered by the National
Livestock Convention which meets
at Fort Worth. Texas, this month,
and that recommendations regarding
it will be made by that body. In
brief the provisions OF the bill are as
follows:
That the lands be leased by the
public land Offices at not less than
per centum per annum on the ap-
praised value of the lands, the ap-
praisement to be made by the Boards
of County Commissioners in the
different counties, lease to be not
less than Eve or more than twenty
years, and only for agricultural or
grazing purposes. The first years 8
rent goes to the Government, and
after the first year the money is
turned over to the different States
and Territories wherein the lands are
located, to be placed in a public
land development fund" to be ap-
piled to the development, diversion,
storage and distribution of water for
irrigation. livestock and domestic
purposes, under rules and regula-
tions to be made by State and Terri
torial Legislatures. Those owning
land under the homestead or desert
land laws are granted the preferred
right TO lease at the minimum any
lands they desire at the rate of ten
acres for each one they hold by fee
or title. At the expiration of lease,
holder has preference in releasing,
or If leased to some one else, the new
lessee pays for all improvements
made; all developments, water stor-
age or bitches, trees, etc., being re
garded as improvements. The bill
provides that lands leased shall be
withdrawn from entry under home
stead and desert land laws.

ANTITRUST CONFERENCE.

We have received from Hon. M.
l.. Lockwood the declaration and
call for the meeting of the National
Antitrust Conference. The call is
signed and approved by long list OF
prominent, strong and honorable
men from every part Of the country.
The declaration is, in part, as fol-
lows:
1--WE believe the criminal con-
spiracies in restraint Of trade COM
monty known as Trusts, which SO
alarmingly characterize the present
times, are a menace to liberty. They
close the doors OF business oppor-
tunity to all but the rich and power
ful. They impoverish the producer
and consumer. They degrade labor.
They have seized upon the avenues
Of transportation and poisoned the
fountains OF public information.
They debauch the elective franchise.
They are public enemies. Unless
they are overthrown there will be
established in free America monied
oligarchy on the one hand and a serf'
dom of the masses of the people on
the other. They must be destroyed
or free government is lost. The only
power capable Of successfully COM
batting the tyranny Of these gigantic
capitalistic monopolies is the aroused
and organized hosts OF the people to
whom the government and the coun-
try rightfully belong and in whom
all power OF right inheres.
"Our republic was born Of the
love OF liberty which in 1776 im-
pelled the fathers to rebel against the
tyranny of the English monarch and
the special privileges Of the British
sristocracy, and which inspired them
W pitukc w tho Nbuoo Va hos"h
freedom their lives. their fortunes
and their sacred honor"
The call sets February IL as the
date and Chicago the place Of meet
ing, and continues:
Patriotic citizens from all States
and Territories, duly accredited and
in full sympathy with the objects
above named, and representatives of
known Anti Trust organizations, are
invited to meet together in said con-
ference.
Application for admission to said
conference should be made to the
Secretary. Unity Building. Chicago,
at an early date. as credentials OF
delegates must be countersigned by
the chairman of the Executive Com
mittee,"

CAUSES OF APPENDICITIS.

DIR. George M. Edebohls has an
interesting article on appendicitis
in late number of the Medical Rec
ord. He says that probably the first
reference to the disease dates from
1912, but as late as 1888 the know
ledge Of its existence was by no
means general. In 1916 cases began
to be reported. The first recorded
operation was performed in 1888, and
the first successful operation in 1886.
Since that time the number of sue
cessful operations has greatly increas
ed until, while now it is regarded as
a serious, it is by no means q fatal
operation. There is much popular
misconception as to the origin Of
appendicitis, and DIR. Edebohls gives
interesting accounts of some things
which have been found in the vermi-
form appendix, from which it will
be seen that the grape seed is by no
means the commonest cause of injury
Coproliths have been found by eve
body who has had much to do with
post mortem Investigations or with
operations on the appendix. Next
to them pins have been the foreign
bodies most frequently met with.
Other things found are grape
seeds, melon seeds, a chocolate nut,
grain of oat, cherry stones, rasp-
berry seeds. prune seeds, orange
seeds, date seeds, tomato seeds,
fruit stones, huckleberry seeds,
blackberry seeds. hazelnut shell, a
piece of chestnut, peanuts. hair,
bristle, GLACIERS point of zinc, a
globule of solder, gelatine capsule,
piece of bone. a piece Of screw nail.
rifle cartridge and the fin of fish.
This paper also shows that four per
cent of all women have appendicitis,
and they are very little more liable
to the disease than men.

Every Congress Has Its Carpet.

The new carpet on the floor of the
House Of Representatives is pretty to

very fine carpet it is too. There are

varied from that year from st per cent. TO 50
per.a~nt in 1897 Mr.. Dodd one of the solicit
tors for the Standard Company, speaking of
tbe methods that have made it success, said;
"They have obtained and utilized the best
scientific skill in investigation and expert
menting upon the obtaining of new and use
ful products from petroleum, and have cheap
aned illuminating oil and otherwise benefited
mankind by the utilization of these bi-pro-
ducts. They have used their united capital in
opening up the markets of the world for Amer
lean petroleum, and have held those markets
against the fiercest foreign competition. This
was rendered possible only by the employment
of millions of capital in the cheapening OF
RECONSIDERATION at home, across the ocean and
in foreign lands, and by the best and cheapest
methods of manufacture"
