LARGEST IN THE World.

The trio of Mallet articulated COM
pound locomotives, recently ordered
by the Erie railroad, will be used rs
pushers on the grade east of Susque-
hama, Pa, and they will form the
three largest railroad engines ever
constructed in the world.
Locomotives of this type are still
a novelty but the few that have been
built, though many tons lighter than
the Erie ones, have given such
good service as to practically place
them at the top as heavy grade help
ers.
The American Locomotive COM
pany, which has the TASK OF building
them, gives the following dimen-
sions, puzzling perhaps to the lay
nan but eye-openers to the rail-
roader:
There viii be 16 drive wheels,
four cylinders, two ahead and two
midway. of the boiler, which will be
oNSl NlHhA rect III uldlltLtI at It's
largest part and will contain two and
o%ne-fourth inch tubes to the number
Of 40s, each y feet long or more
than a mile and three-quarters If
Joined together.
The driving wheels bear all the
weight of the engine and thereby
will be secured the advantage OF
every pound of the 10000 pounds
weight. The tender is no parlor
playhouse Of itself. 1t will carry
$500 gallons of water and 16 tons Of
anthracite coal.
In other words, the complete loco
motive will be just about twice as
big as those seen every day in usual
service.

THE SAN JOAQUIN ARTEsIAN
BELT.

The photographic branch of the
United States Geological Survey has
under way an investigation of the
ground waters of the San Joaqin val
ley, and although the field work /
not complete, enough has been don
to indicate that results of great valu
to the residents of the region will b
obtained. The $4,000 square mile
of this valley constitute about two
thirds of the wide interior plain
known as the great valley of Califor
mia, and is the granary of the entire
Southwest, the quantity of staple
food products raised within its Dor
ders exceeding that produced in any
similar area south of the Oregon lin
and west of the Colorado river.
In the past irrigation within thi
area has depended almost entirely
upon waters brought to the valley
border by the great streams that ris
in the Sierra and flow down its west
orn slopes, except in a few locations
yet the work of the survey indicates
that n Of the largest artesian ba-
sins in the Southwest lies along the
axis of this valley and that about it's
borders are zones in which ground
waters are available with but mod
crate pumping. The utilization of
these ground waters will benefit the
valley not only directly through the
irrigation affected by them, but indi-
rectly by draining lands which have
become alkaline through excessive
use of the surface waters. 1t is
hoped that by calling attention to the
wide distribution and great accessi.
bility of the ~artesian waters an i'm
pulse will be given to the COLOMBIA.
ton of lands 10Y un%cultivated be-

this character would result in very

wealth of the State.
In certain areas the artesian we'll
yield waters so highly charged with
salts of various kinds that they are
unfit for use either for domestic sup
plies or for irrigation. Such area
will be outlined so that those who
contemplate the development of the
agricultural possibilities of the valley
may be warned away from them.
Other ground waters occur be

BOSTON-TONOPAH
MAY BE SOLD
NEGOTIATIONS FOR PROPERTY
UNDER WAY, ACCORDING
TO REPORT

1t is reported upon competent au-
thority that negotiations are pend
ing for the sale Of the controlling in
terest of the Boston-Tonopah to the
Tonopah and Greenwater Copper
Company. The copper company, it
is said, desire to acquire this valua-
BILE property as an asset. The Bos-
ton-Toaopah is owned and controlled
by Senator Nixon and George Wing
field. 1t has been shut down for a
long time, owing to the fact that
Nixon and Wingield have been so
busy making millions in Goldfield
that they could not devote the neces-
sary time to its development. The
property should develop into one Of
the best in the Tonopah district. 1t
has, so it is reported, been examined
by a competent mining engineer with
the most favorable results. The shaft
at present is down about 500 feet,
and II the deal goes through it is
said that active and systematic work
will DE commenced at once. 1t is
likewise stated that the surface
showings appear to be as good as the
famous Mizpah lode. The price to
be paid is said to be very favorable.

BOOM AT
Los Angeles People Are After the
Building Lots.

1870
1t is beginning to look like there
is a building and real estate boom on
in earnest in Rhyolite. The real es
tate activity has eve been equalled
in camp and new buildings by the
score are going up on every street.
While the interest in Rhyolite lots
outside of town is widespread, Los
Angeles, which turns to transactions
of this nature as a fish does to its
native element, is perhaps leading
in the purchases.
One prominent real estate firm
here has just received a wire to Sc
cure forty lots for Los Angeles peo-
pie at once, San Francisco and
Oakland people are also investing
very heavily. The general statement
from the real estate offices in Rhyo-
lite is that lots are going like hot
cakes and that outsiders are secur-
ing lots in all parts Of the town very
rapidly. Referring to the situation,
a prominent dealer said:
Nothing like the present real es-
tate boom has aver been experienced
in camp. The demand is something
phenomenal. The general report of
the Bullfrog has gone abroad, and it
is a favorable report. The wonder
full activity of the camp and the
great amount of development work
at the mines have convinced people
that Rhyolite is to become a perma-
nent place, a great mining center,
and those who perhaps would sniff
at a mining Investment are ready to
part with their cash for town lots
when things look as good as they
do here. "-Bullfrog Miner.

BROKE THE WRONG BANK.

Through a misunderstanding the
Bonanza announced that the roulette
bank at the Cabinet saloon was brok-
en- on one turn of the wheel. AS a
matter Of fact, the incident, we un-
derstand, did not take place at the
Cabinet. The Cabinet saloon has
ceased to exist and in its place has
risen the Hoffman, a most popular
resorc. Mr.. J.. H. Hoffman acquired
the place some time ago, since which
he has completed very extensive i'm
provements, which makes the place
one OF the most attractive in Tono-
pah. We are sorry for the error and
trust that no harm has been done.

The fiber saturation point Of a
number of species of wood varies
with conditions and the species and
designates the percentage Of water
which will saturate the ibers of the
wood. 1t has been found that, UNI
der normal conditions, wood fiber
will absorb a definite amount of
moisture; additional water simply
fills the pores of the wood, Only
that water which permeates the
wood fiber has an influence upon
strength. For the following species
the saturation point occurs at the
given percentage of moisture based
on the dry weight of the wood:
Longleaf pine, 25; red spruce, 81;
chestnut, %; loblolly pine sapwood,
"a; red gum, %; red fir, 20; white
ash, EOS; Norway pine, 80; western
tamarack, 80 per cent. Prolonged
soaking in cold water does not re-
duce the strength of green wood be-
low that at its fiber saturation point
provided it remains in perfect con-
dition. When wood has been driee
and is resoaked, it becomes slightly
weaker than when green, Wood
soake din heated water absorbs
more moisture. This causes a re-
duction in strength and stiffness, as
is seen in wood steamed for bend
ing.

1t is suggested that blue prints
may be photographed by first bleach
ing the print in a dilute solution of
ammonia and then immersing it in
a weak solution of fannie acid. A
few drops, or say half a t%easpoonful
of ammonia in a glass of water is
enough for the first solution, and a
heaping teaspoonful of dry fannie
acid powder in a glass of water for
the second. This treatment will
bring out the drawing in non-actinic
red. and a photograph of it will give
a negative having black lines on
clear glass. This can be backed with
white paper and used for copy in
the photoengraying process.

DARNING BY MACHINE.
More Easily Done and Neater Than Most
Hand Work.

The housewife who was wont TO groan in spirit
over her mending basket piled high with all sorts
of wearing apparel. from stockings to table
linen' is rarity in these progressive days. Her
burden has at last been nghtened through the
medium of machine darning
Most women know that patches can be neatly
and firmly put with the aid of the sewing
machine. but few are aware that exquisite darn
ing can also be done on the machine. Table
linen. bed linen, towels and even underwear
can be darned in this fashion. To darn by hand
a rent in table linen is difficult task If prop
erly done, and the superiority of machine darn
ing over it lies in the greater speed with which
it may be done and in its neater appearance.
For machine darn. do not trim the edges Of
the hole if the material IS cotton, linen under
wear or knit goods; the machine stitching viii
weave over and under the frayed threads Have
the right side upward when placing the work
under the needle of the machine in order to see
that the torn ends are neatly caught and held in
Piace. II Is soo1 PI4h 10 nave an emproldefy
ring to hold the fabric securely. Otherwise hold
1t firmly with both hands to prevent the tension
OF the threads from drawing and puckering the
work. For this darning use a fine needle, and
for table linen SO TO 100 cotton. The finer the
cotton the more perfect the work No. 120 cot
ton is said to be not too fine 1t IS a good plan
for a beginner TO practise upon small odd pieces
of coarse linen until the knack of darning in this
way is acquired. Begin to work from the upper
left hand corner. a tTifle above the hole to be
darned, hold the material firmly and guide it
from YOU so that the needle SeWS straight across
the hole to trife beyond it's lower edge. The
pressure on the presser foot should be very light
TO do this loosen the thumbscreW at the top OF
the presser foot rod. Test its Iightness and
loosen the screw until there is only enough
pressure TO hold the foot down on the goods and
not enough TO cause resistance when the mate
rial is drawn back and forth under il. The ono
puZZling thing in this kind OF darning is learn
how to draw the work back and forth under the
needle. Have both the upper and lower ten
sionS very light and very even. A tight tension
OF the thread will draw the work out of shape
Do not take out the work turn it around TO
put in a second OF stitching, but without
stopping the machine draw the work toward you
so that the machine sews backward. The second
row of stitching should be close against the
first row. Continue sewing until the warp
threads all put in.
When ready TO weave in the woof thread lift
the presser foot and turn the work so that the
