Society in Carson.

Social affairs promise to be some
thing fairly lively at the capitol this
winter. There will be three events
which will certainly be of the festive
order. First will come the guberna-
toral reception, given the citizens of
Nevada by the incoming governor
and family. This will be followed by
grand inaugural ball, given by the
citizens of Carson to Governor
Sparks and the members of the legis-
lature and the next in order will be
the senatorial banquet given by Sena-
tor Newlands to the legislature, -
Appeal.

Thomas A Edison, the great Ia.

Of 1909, along the line Of invention
and science, says

Electricity will be the motive power

hying machines. Nineteen hundred
and three will bring great advances
in the knowledge of the causes and
prevention of disease. Medicine is
played out. Every new discovery OF
bacteria shows us all that we have
been wrong and that the million tons
of stuff we have taken was all use
less. They may discover the germ OF
old age, The newspapers will grow
better during 1903. They are the
great school The man who does
not read the newspapers might as
well be dead. There will be fewer
wars in the future.

Chamberlain and Make, of San
Pedro, Mexico, broke the world
record in the double handed miners
granite rock drilling contest at El
Paso, Texas, Jan. 18th, for a purse
of $1,000 by making score of 43i
inches in fourteen minutes. The
worlds record was II 1882 inches,
made at Bisbee in 1902 in fifteen min
utes. In the single handed contest
Fred Yockey of Boulder county, Col
orado, broke the worlds record by
drilling a hole in the granite 23i
inches in fifteen minutes. The
worlds record, made at Leadville in
1899 by Richard Conley, was 2l3

BY the report of Superintendent
Kilburn it appears that the savings
banks deposits in New York have for
two years increased at the rate of
about 500, 900, 900 a year. In July

of 81. 1861 900, 900 nearly half the

States. The mere excess over one

states combined.

The American Association for the
Advancement of Science has adopted
resolutions asking Congress to make
pational park Of the famous petri-
fed forest near Flagstaff, Arizona,
aud to Divide guards TO guarantee
its preservation from vandals, This
leads the Arizona Republican to re-
mark +" 1t is an excellent sugges-
ton, of course, that the petritied
forest should be reserved as ma
tlonal park. 1t is one of the great
wonders of the world, and merits
this care from the government But
there is vast amount Of misinfor-
nation concerning the forest and
the danger of its destruction by van
dals. A commissioner of the general
land office not very long ago eau
toned the forest rangers to see that
none of the standing trees in the
forest were molestcd. The forest of
logs cannot be removed under exist
ing laws, and since shipments of the
petrifed wood were stopped there
has been little opportunity for the
vandaI to do any damage. y
The members of the legislature of
California have provided for them
selves with extra help that will cost
the state $12 per day for each mem

of men who keep the corporations in
formed of what is going on, and pre-
sumably they will keep the members
to whom they are attached informed
as to what the corporations want to

own information as to what is going
on.

Of tho great rivers. The Amazon from
Manaos, the great rubber market.
about 1900 miles from the sea, is a
vast, ugly volume of water without
any beauty whatever. The Orinoco
from Cuidad Bolivar is a small edition

jungles which line its banks are mys.

supposed to conceal all sorts Of wild

than any Of tho others except that
it lacks the bold cliffs and charming
towns and villages that overlook the
Father Of Waters. The Magdalena Of
Colombia, the fourth largest river in
South America, is a turbid stream
that is either very low or very high,
according as you travel in the rainy
or dry season Of the year. It's banks
are lined with tropical forests, often

the higher education for which he
thirsted; we are led to believe that
thirst is a necessary element in the
aforesaid higher education, at least in
the German kulturfests. Aside from
the thirst which he seemed to have in
herited along with his dislike of bath
tubs and other appurtenances of civil
ization, Alfred took to the culture prop
osition about as kindly as a Governor
of Kentucky to undiluted spring water
BY degrees, however, ne came to see
the value of education. When the gen.
tleman who presided over his intellec-
tual destinies and made out the bills
pointed out TO him that true greatness
was obtained only at the cost of much
cerebral perspiration; that no man could
wear a dress suit properly unless he
had a college diploma or was a waiter
in a German restaurant; that even the
President of the United States, the
chairman Of the executive committee
of the steel trust, the gentleman who
moved the lawn and shoveled the fam
lily jewelry into the furnace, and other
pillars of society were college gradu-
ates; when the chief culture JuggIer
indicated these things to him Alfred
gathered himself together and decided
that he would take a small portion of
the higher education on the half shell
even If it did do violence to all the ira
ditions Of his ancestors.
After sojourn of four or 1--WE years
at the institution presided oyer by the
gentleman with the black tie and the
monopoly of the alphabet Alfred was
