 Considerable attention is being paid in this state to the prevention of adul- iteration of foods. which is a most commendable idea. At the same time a person can buy liquid combinations from irresponsible dealers that are more detrimental to the health than hofic acid. but no one seems to care.

THOMAS BENTON,
JUST FOR THE BOYS SAKE. Father Begins Study of Science to
 Keep Pace with Sons " Lessons.

A sedate merchant residing in West Philadelphia has purchased First Lesson in Electricity" and reads it so constantly that until he recently ex- plained his friends were wondering whether he was thinking of giving up commerce and going in for a scientific career, or what, says the Philadelphia Record.
 "No, it's my boy" he said when asked this question. q had a fairly good education in the rudiments of all the sciences that figured when I went to school. and I've been able generally to meet the boys questions with fair success. When he went in for saw. hammer and nails I was able to show him a few things about the grain of wood, right angles, beyels and other points in carpentry; then when he be- came interested in steam engines l managed to face his conundrums about condensation, expansion and what not. It was the same through his studies Of windmills. the properties of liquids and similar interesting fields, and he came to think that was a pretty good sort of an assistant.
 About a month ago, however. he struck electricity-or, rather, cleo tricity struck him-and he is rapidly losing faith in me as his guide, philo- sopher and friend. My school studies in electricity concerned only the basic principles of the mysterious force so far as they were known. but the boy wants to know now how to make arm atures, induction coils. buzzers. relays and a lot of more things I can't even remember the name of. And when he gets 'em he wants to know how and why they operate as they do-a curl osity I have always encouraged and helped him to find out how to satisfy | But I'm up against it now and that's why you see me boring over First Les sons in Electricity

A MuDDLEp UP MESS.
Two Recorders and Two Mining Dis
tricts--Whieh is Which7

From the Greenwater Times
Greenwater has the grace of being
favored with two mining recorders in
as many mining districts covering the
same territory.
A mining district and recorder was
elected twenty years or more ago and
the books and records OF the office
have been kept at the Furnace Creek
ranch from that day to this. A re-
corder is there today and he is doing
business at the same old stand.
About two mnoths ago meeting OF
the miners was held In Greenwater on
Sunday, July 29th. and they organ
lied what they thought was a mining
district and everyone believed they
were doing the proper thing No one
believed for a minute that they had
recorder or they would have taken
other steps than desecrating the Sab
bath, but then the boys perhaps be-
lieved Sunday was the same along the
lines. They did not know they were
jumping the job of recorder located
by the Furnace Creek man, and this
the kind of mess the whole game
has resolved itself into right now.
Some of the prospectors are not
satisfied with this farce comedy and
they want this thing fixed 50 as to
know where they are at. Even as mat
ters stand the acting recorder Is cer-
tainly doing favor to the people by

who really 'grasps an opportunity. is
