The BuIlfrog District.

Malcolm Macdonald passed through
Reno Wednesday on his way from San
Francisco to New York. While in the
bay city the noted mining man was in
terviewed by the Journal of Commerce
man, to whom he made the following
statement.
1--WE are pushing the work of de-
velopment on the Bullfrog Mining
Company's property as rapidly as pos
sible, said Mr.. Macdonald this morn
ing. II have been busy examining
some of the claims Of the company, but
it was impossible for me to get around
to all Of them. There are n claims in
all, and there is a possibility of cutting
them up into separate companies, as
was done with the holdings of the Man
haitian Dexter Company. We may
form three companies out of the parent
company and declare stock dividends.
1t was suggested to Mr.. Macdonald
that he was becoming pretty deeply in
terested in the Bullfrog country of
late, to which he replied:
II control now ten different com
panies in that district, and propose to
develop the properties as quickly as
possible. We are putting up a hoist on
the Amethyst, in which we are down
100 feet, and we are prosecuting both
ways at that level. The last suit
against the Bullfrog Mining Company
that of Johnson, was settled a week or
ten days ago and the company is now
free from litigation.
at is a settled fact that we will have
three railroads into Bullfrog in the Fall.
l met Borax Smith and his party in
Beatty and Mr.. Smith told me that he
has the steel, ties and spikes for 100
miles of rail. The rails have been laid
to within seventy miles of Beatty, where
all arrangements for terminal shops,
round houses, ETC., have been made. 1t
is pretty well assured that this road
will go through to Tonopah, and my i'm
preston is that it will be continued to
Manhattan. The Clark road, it is ex-
pected, will be in operation into Bull
frog before the end of next month.
The Goldfeld and Tonopah road has let
the contract for the extension of its
line from Goldfeld to Bullfrog, so you
can see that the future of the Bullfrog
country is assured"

Important Divorce Decision.

A dispatch from Chicago says:-It is
estimated by lawyers in this city, that
the decision of the supreme court of the
United States holding illegal, divorces,
except where both parties to the suit
resided within the same jurisdiction,
will make illegal 500 divorces that have
been granted in this city alone, and
pave the way for all manner of com
plications in the next generation over
inheritance and the right to property.
Several attorneys declared that the de-
cision simply means chaos in regard to
the title of personal property as in case
where a man who was, in the sight of
the decision illegally divorced and re-
married, his property must of necessity
go to his legal heirs and cannot be held
by any children of any woman he may
have married subsequent to his divorce.

BODY WIRELESS VEHICLE.
The Human Anatomy Used as a Transmitter of Electrical
 Waves.

The body as a wireless telegraph transmitter and receiver was recently displayed by Prof. Ovington, of Bos- ton. He performed number Of ex- periments with high potential and high frequency currents, substituting his as sistant's body for the usual vertical conductor. The current from the ma chine passed through the body, whence the energy was raGiated as waves in the ether. The potential and ire uuency of the oscillations were much in excess of those employed conner cially, and hence the waves radiatec were exceedingly short. It was Prof. Tcmmasini, of Geneva, who first dem- onstrated that the human body could be substituted successfully for an aerial of the same length and ca pacitiy. It is not so good a cor ductor as are the metals, but this is offset by the fact that current oi high frequency penetrates the skin by a small fraction of millimeter. M Emile Guarini, of Brussels, actually sent messages through space by con- nection of one human body to the positive side of spark gap, and an other human body to one terminal ol the coherer.

4 REAL SKYSCRAPER.
ONE HUNDRED-sToRY BUILDING
 A FUTURE CERTAINTY.
So Says a New York Architect Who Has Planned for the Gigantic Structure-A City in
 Itself.


 Twenty years ago Edward Bellamy described in his Looking Backward" a mammoth structure covering several city blocks, towering into the clouds. and containing within it's walls the do- mestic, commercial and industrial ac- tivities of great city. Bellamy was a harmless dreamer. His picture of the perfected modern building was a toy for the imagination-nothing more then. Now 1t is swiftly approaching a reality.
 Architects in New York are to-day developing on blue prints substantially the same style of structure Bellamy told about in his fanciful story. In a quiet room that looks down into the area of the tablets in lower Broadway draftsmen for more than six months, under the direction of two architects, have been working out the plans for New York's first great modern struc- ture

X REMARKABLE CHILD
CzAR0wITz OF RUSSIA DEvEL-
 oPINa spLENDIDLY.
Contrary to Stories Circulated Some Time Ago That He Was Defsc- tive, He Manifests Great
 Precocity.


 A short time ago the story gained wide circulation that the czarawitz. the only son of the czar of Russia and heir to the throne, and over whose advent such rejoicing took place in Russia two years ago, was deficient mentally and physically; the story going on to say that the child, al. though now over two years old, had not talked or walked and seemed not only to be dumb, but deaf as we'll
 At the time this report was going the rounds of the newspapers. pic, ture of the child was printed which told another story, and made 1t hard to believe that so bright and beautiful looking baby could actually be lack, ing in physique and mentality. As far as one could judge from the pho. tograph, which was said to be one H the latest taken of the young heir and from which the splendid line draw. ing herewith produced was made, the son of the Russian ruler possessed a well-molded body. pretty head. poised gracefully on sturdy shoulders and a face on which was stamped intelli. gence and amiability.
 ! And now in harmony with the ap pearance of the picture another story Is being told of the precocity of the little czarawitz. At the age, of IA months. it is said, he could already distinguish his nurses by name, and now begins to spout Muscovite nouns of 25 'consonants, koks preferred, Near the battlefield of Lobovitz. in Bohemia, they have brook that flows along for couple of yards without any vowels at all The Brotlenka, or something worse, but the heir of all the Russias would probably manage to pronounce 1t.

CHAMPION PIE EATERS.
New Workers Consume Immense Quantities of Pastry and
 Bread,

One hundred thousand pies are eat en every day In New York. Roughly speaking, that means 36,50O.OO0 pies a year. More than twice as many apple pies as any other kind are eaten, says the World.
 Great as is the consumption of pie. it is exceeded by that of bread; 125.- 900 loaves Is the lowest estimate placed on the number baked daily in New York. Bakers who have tried to estimate the amount say there arc hundreds of small bakers, each baking from 50 to 100 loaves daily, who are not included in this estimate. There are more than TOO bakers in Manhat- tan alone and nearly as many more in the other boroughs.
 While by far the greatest amount of bread eaten in New York Is the plain white wheat bread. many other kinds are eaten extensively, rye. whole wheat and graham bread being the principal.

THE FLE[CY FLY
STORY OF AN ANGLER WHICH
 POINTS A MORAL.
Downfall of the Disciple of Izaak Walton Came When He Let Su- perstition Run Away with
 Good Judgment.

This story of the angler and the sheep is really very curious one. and points . moral for those who would let superstitious notions control their actions. It was the ''big" fish that had defied the skill and most tempting flies of the angler which led up to the incident.
 On the great day that the great fish came at length to the landing-net, the angler began to cast over him with the skill and care that were the ineV- itable result of long habit, but at the same time with despair at his heart, so often had hope been deferred of in ducing this particular fish to be his victim; and as he sent back his fly to cast for the third time, and began the forward stroke, he was aware of a slight tug and resistance at the end or the line. He was not one of the tiro kind and lets his fly go to grass; neither was he so unfamiliar with his surroundings as not to know that there were no bushes behind him.. Heretofore he turned round with an exclamation of astonishment and be- held a sheep regarding him with rath- CT doubtful benevolence, and a thoughtful expression on it's face that looked as if 1t might indicate a design to butt him into the river. But even as these possible intentions of the sheep passed through his mind, and he realized that what had arrested his fly for a moment was its catching the l fleece of the animal, the fly itself had < gone forward and out on the water very little affected by the momentary check. The angler was on the point 1 of saying something to the sheep about its folly in getting where 1t might be i hooked, and where it had spoiled a i beautiful cast, when his hand, In the ] very act of drawing up the fly to make another throw, was arrested, yet again, by an unexpected tug; but this ! time the tug came from the water. not the land, and there was no man. ner of doubt about the cause of it. A fish had taken the fly. and good fish too. The reel went with scream, as the fish rushed down the river, and the usual kind of fight began that has been retailed in all fishing stories since the first. All good stories, of course end only in one pleasantly. This ] had (from the fsherman's point oi view) the extremely pleasant ending of fine fish-this notorious and very sophisticated fish, finding its way al length into the landing-net.
 And when the fisherman came tc take the fly from its mouth and ex- anime the fly he found 1t adorned with small fleecy feather, as he frs, thought, but then saw to his surprise
 that 1t was really tiny piece o

MADE ONE LAST ATTEMPT.
Venerable Frenchman's Efforts Were Finally Crowned with
 Success.

A young northern woman once went out to visit the famous old chapel and cemetery of St. Koch, near New Or leans. The eccentric old Frenchman in charge was delighted, says Every body's Magazine, to show her about. and when she came to one of the sta tions" where hung painting of the Cruciixion, wishing to make sure of . firm foundation for her appreciation of the subject. he inquired.

 The old man was visibly disappoint- cd, but taking new courage, he tried again: c
 Madame has travelled much. Per chance to Paris.
 "No," replied the lady, with proper regret, T have never been to Paris. 2.

 Madame Is a good Catholic?"
 "No," sadly replied the unfortunate woman. a trifie uncomfortable, al- though amused.

HOW SHE BECAME A STAR.

Some of the very pleasantest rec ollections I have are of my engage ment with Sir Henry Irving's com pany," said Miss Ethel Barrymore in an interview with Gertrudge Vivian in Success Magazine That was splendid! Then, when ne produced his son Laurence Irving's play, Peter the Great played Euphrosyne, and 1 remember that, after the first per- formance. Sir Henry came to me, as was going of the stage. and patted me gently on the back, and said Lit tie girl, you've done well. very we'll No praise have ever received, noth ing that has since happened to me, has given me quite so much encour agement as those few words did.
 "I came back to America after Pc ter the Great" and appeared with An- nie Russell In Katherine. and then in The Liars Both were only small parts, but Stella, in His Excellency the Governor, gave me good chance. After that came Mme Ire toni. in Captain links. and 1t was that play, you know, that brought success, and made me a star.
 "As matter of fact. had never even thought of such a thing. l liked the part, and played it just as we'll as could. Mir Frohman has told me since that he found out that the peo- pie were going to the theater. not so much to see the play as 10 see me. He said was made star by the pub lie. not by the manager. He never said a word to me about it at the time. but one evening. when I was going to the theater with my maid. we turned the corner just before we reached the theater, and there. over the entrance. in electric lights. was my name just can't tell how I felt.

Prof. Hertwig holds that the wunderkind's ('wondei Kids") chances for domination are nil The Russian empire. he predicts. will be split up into wilderness of repub lies. with a great probability that. the work of disintegration will begin with . contagious revolt.
 Somewhere in Finland, Poland or the Caucasus an insurrection will make headway. and world of nal contents will fly to arms. Often smothered sparks will rise in irrepres sible flames and the throne of the Ro manoffs will come down with a crash
 And even more solemn warning comes from France Col Maurice Gas car, "the pious Pagan" as his com. rades call him, has no doubt that the days of czardom are numbered.
 But the prediction of learned null lah of Erivan. a sort of Mohammedan divine. who had. 1t Is said. foretold the fall of Port Arthur. has caused the czar the greatest unrest When the former had looked upon the picture of the czarovitz he said: He is a Jen. net-al.Rhas. a doomed child.

The souvenirs to be distributed at the matinee tomorrow afternoon at the Jacques will be photographs of one of the most popular 1T not the most popular members of the stock company, Miss Louise Le Blanc, the little ingenue who is now playing her second summer engagement at the theater. Miss Le Blanc, with the exception of Miss Crolius and Willard Dashiell, Is the only member of the present organization who was at tached to the company season ago and the host of friends she made during her first engagement has grown to remarkable proportions. IL is safe to say that her photographs will be in great demand and in view of that fact an unusually large order was placed. Miss Le Blanc's work is always delightful, clean cut, abso- lutely unaffected, winsome ant sprightly and the reflex of per sonality that is as charming as 1t is uncommon. She possesses the inval- uable gift of making the most inn possible characters human and at tractive and in addition has sense of comedy that is childish in its piquancy and altogether uniquely naive. "The Little Minister" which the company Is presenting this week is proving to be what was expected of it, the most popular offering of the season, and 1t may be marked as one of the best things seen here this year.
