American Mining Congress.

Irwin Mahon, secretary of the
American mining congress, has left
New York for Deadwood and Lead,
S. D., where he will enter immedi
ately into the work of arousing gen
eral interest and enthusiasm through
out the west in the coming session of
the congress, which is to be held in
the Black Hills in September. The
various officers and committees Of
the congress are working in unison,
with the promise of making the ses-
slou an eventful one in the history of
the mining industry. The mining
men of the Black Hills country are
taking their share of the arrange
ments. Excursions to the workings
of the various mining companies are
being planned, and plans are being
made to profitably employ every hour
of the time spent by men who are
interested in the great industry. AS
surauces have been received by Sec
retary Mahon that Idaho, Montana,
Colorado, Wyoming, Missouri, Cali
fornia, Michigan and other states in
which the mining industry fourishes
will be well represented. In connec-
tion with the gathering there will be
a large and comprehensive exhibit of
ore specimens, mining machinery and
equipment.

Zeckeuderf, New York and A. Stein
field and ]. N. Curtis, Tucson The
mines are located thirty miles west
of Tucson, and twenty miles south of
Red Rock, the nearest Southern Pa
ciiic station. Orders were issued
for the erection of a 500-ton
plant. Five hundred miners will be
put to work as fast they can be en-
gagged. This is the largest single
sale ever recorded in Arizona.

1t is reported that there are about
800 men employed on the Comstock
in various mines. The pay roll foots
up to about 100000 each month.
There are eighteen men working on
the Union ground. All the mines
now use electricity not only for light
ing but for power purposes.

Miners in the drainage tunnel of
the Great Wes tern mines, operated
by the J. W. Hopkins company at
Steamboat, ran into cavity cont tain
ing heavy pressure of steam. The
miners had to get on a 24O clip, but
none of them were scalded. Steam
is now issuing in clouds from the
mouth of the tunnel This working
was run in order to tap these cavities
containing steam and boiling water
so that work in the main shaft would
not be hampered by striking them
there. 1t is believed that this boiler
down in natures workshop will soon
blow itself off.

Fort Evans. a short distance from Camp
Ordway, will be supposed to be held by an
, imaginary force. rationed for about ten
days and equipped with four field pieces
The object of the brigade will be to ad-
vance on Leesburg and take possession of
the railroad. the principal source of the en-
emys supplies. in spite Of the barrier in
the form Of Fort Evans strongly garri-
soned.
The proposition to be faced by the brigade
will be difficult one. for the reason that
the umpires will naturally conclude that
the imaginary enemy would act in man
enemy was on the field he would quite like
ly make mistakes.
The guardsmen will be paid Saturday
morning. on the pay rolls, under the pro-
visions of the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill, for the six months period Of
service ended June 30 last. Payment under
the new militia law for services rendered
during the present encampment will not be
made until after the brigade returns to
Washington. for the reason that the pay
rolls cannot readily be completed while In
camp. and also because of the existence Of
several doubtful points that must be passed
upon by the controller of the treasury.
The brigade will break camp at noon Sat
the troops will entrain. They will disem-
bark at the intersection OF 9th street and
Maryland avenue. Washington. about 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The plan at
present is to hold the customary dress
parade on the White Lot before proceeding
to the several armortes for dismissal.

EYES TREATED BY ELECTRICITY
Useful in Cases Of Inflammation
Remedy for Iritis and Cornetis

From the Scientific American.
Treatment Of diseases of the eye by cleo
tricity has been tried as long as electricity
was first scientifically employed in thera-
peutics. Nevertheless. the advantages Of
this treatment are very little known. DR..
Won Reuss deserves credit for referring to
Prof. Mendellsohns monthly Die Kran-
kenpflege in a detailed article on partly
successful experience In electrical treat
ment Of diseases Of the eye. made by him
self. which he strongly recommends to
his colleagues. Without entering into spe-
cial information chiefly intended for ply.
sicians. one point from the experience OF
the author has to be set forth. According
to his statement, there Is no doubt az to
the sedative effects Of electricity upon q
diseased eye. particularly In cases Of In.
hammation. At first electricity was used
In diseases of the ophthalmio nerves and
muscles Of the eye. but In these cases Dr..
7on Rsuss could not secure positive results.

In a hot summer nature takes matters
into her own hands. Humanity perspires
in spite Of itself. In this way an tncal-
culable amount Of waste Is thrown out

You cannot perspire too freely so long
as it Is natural perspiration. one not
caused by disease" said the surgeon al

the less work for the Kidneys
1t follows then that in a cool summer 1t
is advisable to induce perspiration through

that 1t Is vastly more comfortable to lounge

MOST remarkable, however are the I'M
proFements observed IN treatment of in
nammatory diseases Of the eye by electric
lty A great advantage Is offered by the
orea,ment being simple and not at all dis
agreeable AS almost every physician with
large practice owns an induction-coil, he
need purchase no new instruments. In
order not to make the patient afraid of the
action OF the electrical current, the ply
sician uses the faradiac hand named after
Michael Faraday).
For this purpose the physician touches
with one of his hands the diseased eye
while the other hand holds one electrode
and the patient the other one of the ap-
paratus. Except a prickling feeling in the
hand which clasps the electrode the pa
t1ent does not feel anything; nevertheless
the action OF the electrical current is SO
annoying for the physician that he cannot
than three to five minutes. The electrical
current can in case of necessity be brought
In direct contact with the eye by a com
press tied upon the same. The patient
can also in this way regulate the current
according to his liking to prevent its be-
coming disagreeable. The whole affair, in
Guiding the fixing of the electrode (com-
press) upon the eye. offers no difficulty
so that the patient may treat his eyes at
nome without the presence Of the physi-
of Inflammation OF the eyes where violent
pains set In during the night. In nearly
all cases pain disappears almost instanta-

SMILING BY MEASURE.
Grin Statistics That May Be Put to
Some Practical Use.
From the Housckeeper.

From the Housckeeper.
This is the age of statistics. Proceeding
on the assumption that figures cannot lie.
statisticians are trying to prove almost
everything by the arithmetical method. and
sometimes their efforts quite entertain
Ing The latest example is afforded by an
Englishman of scientific tastes who has de-
voted considerable time to the measuring
of smiles and has produced an array OF
figures sufficient to astonish the average
layman. On an average, says this dealer
in statistics, a woman's mouth stretches
half an inch. temporarily. each time she
smiles. Allowing her only thirty-six smiles
day her smile capacity for twenty-four
hours would amount to half a yard, or in
the course of year her face would have
been wreathed in 1s2 yards Of sunny smiles.
A woman of decided optimistic tendencies.
or a girl with a new spring hat, or a man
with a set of new teeth, smiles at the rate
of a yard a day, or over a mile OF smiles in
five years.
But the compiling of statistics. however
interesting they may be, is an idle waste of
time unless they teach some lesson or can
be put to practical use. These smile sta
tistics, II would seem, may not be without
value. Psychologists say that II We want
to be happy we have only to look cheerful.
Once the habit of cheerfulness Is formed
the blues are gone forever. More than one
physician has effected cures by prescribing
laughter, especially In nervous diseases.
Now the doctors will be able to write their

to do with an incident which occurred dur
ing a previous encampment. The major.
as Is well known to every one acquainted
with him. Is strictly opposed to indulgence
in Intoxicating liquors at any and all times,
but something occurred that aroused some
doubt in that direction. 1t was early one
morning when screams and shouts Of an
agonizing character were heard from the
direction of battalion headquarters. The
screams were described having been
loud. intense and long drawn out. The
greater part OF the battalion was instantly
aroused. and the officer of the guard in
stituted an investigation. It was found
that the blood-curdling sounds issued from
Major Brooks tent. but when the officer
OF the guard looked In he was met with

Major Brooks next day made the follow
