First Woman inventor.

A thousand years ago the race
dwelt to the east of the River Jordan
Men lived in caves, aud these caves
had doors, and these doors were
hung on hinges Years before that
alyoung girl with bloom on her
cheek, lived with her parents in one
of these caves, and one Sunday
night came young man from over
the hills to see the girls father, the
first time. The next day she said,
now father, why couldn't this family
have two caves, one for home folks
and one for company? And the
next Saturday night the young man
came over to see the girls mother,
perhaps, and after that the young
girl said, Father, we ought to have a
door between the two caves, so that
it can be shut And she wanted a
door hinge, SO she set her wits to
work to invent door hinge. And
she made one of the first inventions
man ever saw. No, she didn't in
vent at all-she copied it. Here is
model Of all the hinges in the
world-the hinge to the elbow. The
other day man was digging in the
sand to the east of the Jordan, and
came upon tablet on which was
the image of young girl. In her
left hand she had little chisel, and
in her right hand she has large
hammer. In front of her is a door
hinge, and over at this end is the
outline of little elbow. That has
been preserved for five thousand
years, to tell us how this young girl
invented the first tool that the world
ever saw.-Rev. DIR. N. d. Hills.

INSTALLING ELECTRIC POWER

Electric power is rapidly suppIant
ing the use Of steam at the various
mines, wherever it is now in use it
is giving satisfaction At nearly all
the mines on the lode the saws and
machine shops are operated by
motors, and those in charge say that
the new power is in every way sup
erior to the old for purposes men
toned.
At the yellow Jacket the hoist is
in regular operation with one cage
and in the course of asfew days an
other cage will be placed in position
clamp for that purpose having
arrived from San Francisco. At the
Belcher the old steam hoist is being
rapidly dismantled, and it is ex-
pected that the new one will be in
position in short time.
The machinery for the Union and
the G. & G. shafts has arrived and is
on the former shaft the new hoist
will be placed on the foundation
formerly occupied by the big en-
gine that was removed to Butte last
year. The small engine and the
gallows frame beneath the large one
will be removed, and the latter used
with the new hoist.
Much speculation has been in
dulged in as to the method of in
stalling the hoist at the @. q G. shaft
but it has been learned that the
large one now in use will not
be removed, but that the new one
will be placed behind it and outside
the present building. OF course a
structure will be erected over it later
on. 1t will thus be seen that there
will be no loss of time in the opera
tions in the mine while the work is
going on, and at the same time the
steam hoist will always be available
in case of accidents to the electric
plant.
All the hoists mentioned are to be
operated or the trilrope system,
which is giving great satisfaction at
the Jacket, and the hoists are all
built from the designs of Leon Hall,
consulting engineer for the Pump
ing Association. The hoist at the
Union is to be operated by To-
horsepower induction motor, and
the one at the G. & 9. will be oper-
ated by one of 250-horsepower.-

Mirrors that one can see through
according to the Philadelphia Post,
are the last invention which is be-
coming the rage. Looked at from
one side they are perfect mirrors.
Looked at from the other, person
can see through them the same as
though window. They are great
convenience in such institutions as
a drug store, where a prescription
clerk can stand behind one and put
up prescription unseen, and at the
same time look through the mirror
and see that the lady or gentleman
who is waiting for a prescription
does not steal the drug store. They
are called "the platinized glass,
being backed by compound made
of 95 per cent silver and s per cent

A Missouri woman recently was
the victim of most peculiar acci-
accident, and as it did not result in
any permanent injury we can afford
to laugh at it. She was a very stout
woman aud was standing on a bar
rel training some vines when the top
of the barrel caved in. The hus-
band tried in vein to extricate her,
and was finally compelled to roll
her to blacksmith shop a quarter
of mile away. There the iron
hoops were removed and the woman
regained her freedom.

Less than an hour is usually required
after the reflector has been brought into
rGr ge to catch the SUMS rays, ere the
water receptacle appears to be literally
glowing with heat and the steam guage,
such as is attached to the ordinary steam
engine, shows pressure of 40 20 200
rounds on every square inch of surface
AS is obviously necessary in any struc-
ture which presents so large a surface to
the wind, the construction of the solar
motor is of the staunchest character. All
the principal parts are of steel of the
greatest strength. The whole apparatus
Weighs, perhaps, six tons and yet pom
derous and apparently unwieldly as it is
it can be moved with ease. Naturally
this is an important requisite since the
reflector must be turned to face the sun
exactly. No lenses are used, the heat be-
ing centered from the plain mirrors upon
the boiler which, as has been explained,
is located at the central or focal point.
In order to facilitate the speedy hand
ling of the reflector. it is mounted much
after the fashion of a large telescope and
is as easily regulated.
What will this solar motor and its sue
cessors do. is a natural question. This
pioneer engine in the Golden Gate State
has already demonstrated its ability to
raise water from well of ordinary depth
al the rate of fourteen hundred gallons
per minute. Granted, as has been claimed
that it can develop fifteen horse power,
1t will be seen that il would not require
a great number of solar motors 20 oper-
ate a manufacturing plant of ordinary
size. To the resident of the country where
this initial motor has been erected, how
ever, a land where sunshine is plenty
and water is exceedingly scarce. this
power so esiy developed has suggested

MINDER DID NOT ESCAPE.
Sawed Out of Cell in Bibb Jail With
Ten others, but Were Caught in
Adjoining Cage,

Macon April Al Minder, under SEN
teTce of death. and ten other prisoners
in the white department of Bibb countys
jail. sawed out of their cage Saturday
night. thinking they could escape, as Tom
Allen and q number Of other prisoners
did six years ago.
But when they got out of their own
cage, they found themselves in another
of the same kind. They dropped a piece
of iron in their esgerness to get through
the hole they had sawed and the noise
attracted the attention of Jailer Stephen,
who put a stop to their scheme.
The prisoners had surmised that the
cage into which they cut their way was
unlocked. s 1t had not been occupied for
some time, and was often allowed to re-
main unlocked. This time, however, they
were mistaken.
1t is thought that somebody furnished
TO Minder the saw that was used, and
that it reached him in a loaf of bread.

tailoring establishment here, and pleaded
insanity as his only excuse.

And now in the birth year of the new

in Los Angeles, Cal, a practical sun
motor is making the orb Of day do a
satisfactory amount of labor in pumping
water. This sun-motor is built on the
principle Of concentrating the power Of
the suns heat rays. The principle is an
old one. Experiments have been conducted
in various parts of Europe for years
with burning mirrors" Of one kind or
another but nothing on the scale of the
machine just erected in California has
heretofore been attempted The capital
lists who have constructed this ingenious
sun-engine are not claiming that it en-
bodies in its construction any ideas that
are radically new indeed one of their
strongest claims for its ultimate success
is based on the fact that 1t simply ap-
plies, on a large scale, principles that
have had acknowledgement in the scien-
tific world for a long time.
The whole plan of operation is simple
in the extreme, although to the ordinary
spectator the machine looks rather COM
piicated. Primarily the motor consists of
a great concave mirror which form a
distance looks like a giant windmill of
sparkling silver. This huge looking glass
