From Scientific American
and Farm

FROM scientific American.
The Dutch government has or
dered II 900 tons of American steel
rails for use in the Dutch colonies
of India and Java.
The penetration in the Simplon
tunnel at the end Of June had reach
ed 1886 feet, and the entirely
completed portion was 10, eco feet
long. The temprature of the rock
at distance of 71o4 feet from the
southern end was o2 degrees F.,
while 10, AGA feet from the northern
end it was SO degrees. 1t is calcu-
lated that at the center of the tun-
rel the heat due to the thickness of
the superintendent rock will be 100
degrees, which would be insuffer-
able to the workmen but for abun-
dant ventilation with cooler air.
AT the end of August the aggregate
penetration was 2o,23I feet. The
number of workmen employed is
700 on the Swiss side and ? SOC
on the Italian side.
A new rail rolling process is in
use at the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works, at Braddock, Pa. The rails
are rolled at a lower temperature
than has usually been employed
Formerly the blooms were sent to
the rail mill and rolled at a white
heat. Almost as soon as they were
placed on the hot beds they were
sent to the presses, and Strengthened
While at high temperature. As
they were rolled and Strengthened
while very hot, the rails expanded
again before cooling off, and much
OF the toughness of the fiber, which,
they should have possessed, was

process the tensiblc strength of cacl,
piece was much greater than under
the old system. The new process
is very simple and consists il,

Preston Porter, the negro who
outraged and murdered little Louise
Frost at Limon, Colo, was burned
at the stake last Friday evening at
the place where he committed his
crime. In face of this event is the
case at Patterson, n. j., where four
white men take woman to saloon,
drug her and after satisfying their
lust, find her dead. Is there any
thing in their favorl They were
educated and supposedly refined,
Porter was ignorant and supposedly
a brute, and in comparing the two
crimes that of the white men is the
most atrocious. Yet they will be
given a trial and wealth will be ex-
pended to keep them from the death
penalty and from any penalty at all,
if possible. Civilization teaches
men to avoid crimes of all kinds,
but there is something wrong with
the civilization under which such
crimes exist. II does not reach far
enough. II does not go into the
homes of the poor and teach them
the good and warn them against
the wrong; but it does go into the
homes of the rich and gives them
money to cover up their crimes and,
if caught, it endeavors to bride JUS
tice to excuse them and burn the
uneducated brute at the stake.
Perhaps such summary vengence is
none too much, but it should be
meted out to white as we'll as black.
Let no mans color excuse his guilt,
but make the laws provide adequate
punishment for all crimes and then
let it take its course. Let the bar
barity of the savages take back
seat and with a civilization that
ciyilizes, let justice prevail.

Scientific American: Atthe first
indication Of diphtheria in the throat
OF "a child, make the room close,
then take tin cup and pour into it
quantity of tar and turpentine,
equal parts. Hold the cup over the
fire, so as to fill the room with its
fumes, and the child will cough
out all membraneous matter, and
the diphtheria will pass out. The
fumes of the tar and turpentine
loosen the matter in the throat, and
thus afford the relief which has

Stock Growing.

The Montezuma valley, embrac-
ing thousands of acres, which has
more than doubled in population
since 90, offers all that the stock
grower can ask for or expect. Lands
that grow three crops of alfalfa,
lands that grow all grades Of grains
and grasses, lands that are tribu-
tary to the mountain ranges for
summer grazing, lands that are
cheap and exceptionally fertile.
The valley ranges in altitude from
1850 to $500 feet and within the
area of this magnificent sweep of
fertile lands is grown the hardy and
semi-tropical products of the soil,
grains, grasses, fruit, corn, melons,
about everything from a peanut to
turnip; within this broad area you
can get the cool and the hot nights,
and you have large yield, a certain
yield and profitable market for all
you can grow. Rio Crande rail
road will extend you cheap rates to
inspect and enmigrant rates to 10.
cate. Lands are cheap, building
material and fuel abundant. 1t is
paradise for the energetic and in.
dustrious. Durango Democrat.

MINING TAXATION DISCUSSION.
Idaho Mining Man Says They viii Have
to Go Into Politics.

Yesterday afternoon one Of the best
known and shrewdest mining men OF the
state was talking In the rotunda Of the
CVpitol hotel, the theme Of his conversa-
ton being the recent decision Of the Su.
preme court regarding the taxation Of
patented mining claims.
"Patented mining property should be
taxed" said he, "but whether or not this
decision Is too far reaching Is a question
to be decided. | think It Is. For In.
stance, Is It right for an assessor. who In
nine out Of ten cases, knows nothing Of
mining, to come to my property and make
an arbitrary assessment and compel US
to pay. What basis will he 20 ona VIII

or will he take what some one says the

mine will be practically impossible, be.

In the world. This year the Never Miss
mine may make profit Of 5000, while
the Never Hit may operate at as much OF
loss; and yet next year these conditions
may be exactly reversed. As this is true,
the question to be decided Is, how will
they tax these propertiesi
"The mining men Of Idaho must get
together for the purpose Of influencing
legislation Of nature to do justice to the
owners Of patented mining property.
Mines are patented for two spaeifc pur.
poses. The first and most important Is
to prevent any possibility Of question IS
to ownership; the other to avoid the Sioo
per year assessment work required by
law. The first cause is the influence be.
hind the patentlng Of properties by the
large operators they don't consider the
