CONDUCIVE TO INSOMNIA
Complaints Against Both the Early
 and Late Birds.

The time of the year is approachin in this climate when people take more notice of the causes which keep them awake. Those who sleep in the busl- ness part of the town are already com plaining loudly of those citizens who get up at unearthly hours in the morn ing to begin the operations for the day and also of those who do not have to get up early but stay up late at night that they may get the more sleepy.
 The principal complainants are the occupants of the National Bank of Ari- zona building and of the Commercial hotel. who find sleeping on the porches more pleasant. It happens that they are in close proximity to big meat market and big bakery. Both of these enterprises require that a great deal of their work must be done at 2n -ly hour in the morning. The attaches gather in large numbers and before getting to work engage in discussion on the sidewalk opposite the National Bank of Arizona building regarding meat Is more life hrdlu hrdlu ?-w luu The butchers take the ground that meat Is more life-sustainlng than bread. while the bakers insist that meat is made up largely of water. This contro- versy has never been settled to the satisfaction Of all parties. and it is ] likely to run on through the summer l Those who are trying to sleep some | times think that 1t is much more ami mated and vociferous than it need be. l It is always followed by a loud voiced review of the proceedings of the pre- vious day throughout the world in the course of which great many questions or territorial national and internatIOn- al interest are settled
 The would be sleepers could survive this discussion if they could only get to sleep earlier in the evening, but they are kept awake until after midnight by bands of the sleepless who parade the 1 town, trying to sing themselves to sleeI and thereby singing everybody elst awake.

ELECTRIC PLACER MACHINE.

Prof. A. 1T. Perry. man of consider able scientific attainments and an in- ventor of note. is a recent arrival in Prescott from St. Louis. He comes with the most fiattering testimonials from prominent men of that city, says the Courier. He is here to introduce an electric machine. his own invention. designed to separate gold from dry sands and gravels, which is done with out the use of water or chemicals, by applied electricity generated independ- ently by the machine itself The ma chine can be run by hand. The cleo tricity by which the machine is run is known as static" being the same as that used for X-ray and electric medi- cal appliances. A current of 6o,0O0 volts is said to be generated by Prof Perry's machine. The gold bearing gravel is put on an inclined vibrating copper plate or receptacle. Directly in front of this copper plate is an upright ebonite plate. The electricity js con veyed to these two plates from the generator through a zinc plate. The copper plate, when charged. repels the gold. the ebOnite plate, when charged. attracts the gold. the finer particles of gold clinging to the face of the ebonite plate, while the larger fall into a small trough below. The invention is certainly a marvel Of ingenuity and all who have seen it have faith in its practica bility. The professor has what he calls an eleCtroscope. which is de- signed to test when the plates are charged. The reporter saw him make this test. A metal ball, about the size of small marble. suspended from the end of a string fastened to a small crane was placed about eighteen inches from the ebonite plate.
 When the electric current was turned on this metal ball slowly rose. passed through the air and attached itself to the surface of the ebonite plate. where it remained even after the current was turned off
