BIRTHDAY.
The FOrtieth Anniversary of Her
Admission to the Union.

ADMISSION To N Union.
When the state Of Nevada was ad
mitted to the union the air was
fraught with danger to the Republic,
for the baser passions Of humanity
struggled on the battlefield for mas
terry; but the blood of the heroic dead
had not been sacrificed in vain, for
slavery, the bar sinister ON the
escutcheon OF the nation, was effaced
by the great man to whom the peo-
pie had entrusted the destiny OF the
Republic, although political dema-
gogues claimed the sanction of divine
authority for its continuance.
Amidst these universal ~dissensions
the birth OF Nevada was ushered in
by the rude shock of fratricidal
strife, Graded midst the surging bill
lows of civil war; hence she was
called the Battle Born. Her spon.
sor was the iIlustrious Lincoln, whose
nobility Of soul and unselfish patriot
ism placed him on a higher plane
than any of earth's mightiest mon
archs.
Like the goddess of Morn who pre-
cedes the fiery courses of the sun
god, scattering her favors over earth,
Nevada has scattered with a lavish
hand the wealth wrung from the hid
den recesses OF her mountains. This
wealth found its way into the busy
marts of commerce; it infused new
life into all the arteries of trade and
paved the way for specie payments,
while materially developing the re-
sources of our country.
The prospector was the advance
guard of western civilization. We
are indebted to these rugged Titans
for the discovery OF the Comstock
lode which has added untold millions
to the wealth of the nation. The
mining industry of Nevada became a
potent factor in the formation of a
state government based on liberty
and equality, for the miners love Of
freedom was intensified by the hor-
rors OF civil war which menaced the
existence Of the Republic. 1t is a
well established fact that the people
OF the state of Nevada never swerved
from the lofty ideals OF her illustrious
sponsor. During the darkest hours
OF the rebellion, when the microbes of
secession poisoned the atmosphere OF
California, their loyalty to the Union
was W. doubted. Judging from
the promptness with which the young
men OF our day answered the nation S
call to arms during the Spanish war,
the sons have inherited the patriot
ism Of their sires.
Like the eagle in his eyrie some were graded
midst the storm,
saw nature IN her sterner moods met with
dangers face to face,
Amidst the mountains solitude beheld that
radiant form,
That lends dignity to manhood. and inherent
pride to race.
Saw the snowslide block the canyon, heard the
ayalanches crash,
When their rifles sang the death kneu NJ the
mountain sheep or deer:
lmpetuous as the torrents down their rugged
mountains dash,
Men like these will light for freedom with their
souls devoid OF fear.
The patriotism of Nevada's sons
like the beauty OF her daughters
meets with universal recognition.
May these noble qualities blend and
harmonic the units of society until
Nevada becomes what nature in.
tended she should be, one of the
brightest starsin the national galaxy.

An Early Numer., sx...m.

In paper read before the Philologi.
cal Society Of the University Of Michi
gan. recently. Professor George HempI
commented upon the forerunners of
our present system of enumeration
Some two years ago. in seeking the
origin Of the Runic letters (the first
letters used by the Germanic races,
rrufeysof|ra>ss ,aas-,:.s.sc.,vs~s:. ia ;.s.s
tive Germanic numeral notations
This threw new light upon the early
Germanic numerical system. as we'll as
upon the primitive Indo- European nu.
merical system. and upon the devel.
opment Of the Greek alphabet. and the
Greek numerical notation.
The primitive Indo- European numer.
ical system was a mixture Of the deci.
NAL and the sexagesimal. The first
large number was the "hund," or "hun
dred." that is 100. Between sixty ana
100 there were no numbers like oui
seventy, etc. seventy being "a SHOCK
and ten." and eighty being "a SHOCK
and twenty" The introduction of our
present numbers between sixty ano
40 arose out Of the introduction Of the
decimal hund or hundred. that is. 100
in distinction from which the old 1O(
12O was called the duodecimal hun
dred. or the great hundred" which IL
still used in Iceland and parts Of Eng
land.-New York Tribune.

Satisfaction In Work.

President Charles w. Eliot in the
Worlds Work says that any occupa
ton that combines avoidable risks
with uncertain productiveness has IL
1t two large elements OF interest. and
therefore. Of possible satisfaction
Thus. the miners occupation. in which
1t Is uncertain how much coal or ore
a given expenditure of labor in drill
ing and blasting will produce. has
these two elements Of satisfaction
Every trading operation has in ii the
interest Of adventure. Finally. those
occupations which. like the buildin:
trades. present from day to day, or
from year to year. new materials, pro-
cesses. designs and products-and. in
these days, what occupation does not

Is an element Of danger about It. but
that is one Of the reasons like II. 1
suppose. I have been injured many
times. but so far escaped with my
life. Once my horse stepped OH me
and cut my leg open. had to have
TWENTY-FIVE stitches taken i'm IL. but
was idle only short time.
II have always been fond OF horses
and have liked to be around them.
When 1 was a girl my father had
many horses. and 1 was never afraid
OF them. I loved to be around them
and was never happier than when
was riding fast one. I was appren-
ticed to circus rider early i'm life. and
have been in the business ever since.
"My husband. who was an acrobat.
was killed while he was with the
Campbell circus. He was passing
from one car to the other one night
while train was In motion and feli
between them and was crushed to
death. 1t seems very strange that u
man should be I'm the circus business
so long. when 1t is so dangerous. and
then be killed on a railroad train. but
such Is life."-Chicago Chronicle.

New Lamp FIIamens

A new lamp filament of special com.
position has been brought out by DIR.
Just OF Vienna. who lately presented
q number Of lamps before the Electro
chemical society. Of that city. 1t seems
tnat the new hlament contains boron
ana Is made by new process, the
details OF which have not as yet been
made public. 1t is claimed that II
can be turned out as easily as the car
bon flament. One point in favor of
the new lamp is that it works at a
much higher efficiency than the car.
Don hia-ient. A lamp was shown
which burned on ITO volts and gave
80 candle power. 1t takes but Ii
watts per candle. which makes its
emciency about twice that Of the car
bon filament.
