Growth of /. Nevada City.

Less than two years ago prospector
lost his way in the desert near the Cali
fornia line, in Nye County, Nevada,
and died of thirst. On the spot where
that mans body was found is now the
town of Bullfrog. A water works plant
costing $4,000 supplies an abundance
of water. There are hotels with baths
in many rooms and residences equip
ped with all the modern paraphernaiia
that make for comfort Electric lights
illumine the streets where only the
stars of heaven looked down on the
death of the lonely miner and within
the radius of a very few miles there
are now about 5000 people.

The Last Run.

There was a vacancy in the ministry
Of a West Highland parish, for which
three candidates preached in the church
on three successive Sundays. The first
was diminutive in stature, the second
smaller still, and the third the smallest
of all.
A lady in the congregation spoke
with a member. of the church commit
tee, and demanded to know why such
small candidates had been selected.
The explanation, as writer in the
London Telegraph gives it, was this:
"Weel, mum, We see the steepends
haze become very small, and they're no
bringing DOT such big ministers as they
used to do"

POWER OF TIE NAVY.
Nsnprofersional Mind Finds 1t Hard
to Realize Strength.

Figures seem essential to convey to
the nonprofessional mind an adequate
conception of the stupendous power snr
aggression or for resistance concen-
trated In twelve battle ships, four ar
mored cruisers, four protected cru.s-
ers, four monitors and dozen torpedo
boats and torpedosboat destroyers, be-
sides submarines and auxiliary craft,
says Harper's Weekly. 1t must here
suffice to say that the twelve battle
ships alone which were massed off Oys-
ter Bay represented a combined dis
placement of nearly $4,000 tons: the
armored cruisers, almost $4,000 tons ;
the monitors and protected cruisers,
more than $4,000 tons, and the whole
fighting fleet, including the torpedo
boats and submarines, but excluding
auxiliaries, an aggregate displacement
of upward of 244,000.
Relatively powerless and Insignificant
as the torpedo boats may have looked,
the truth is that if one of them, the
Wilkes, could get near enough to such
a floating fort as the battle ship West
Virginia and spit torpedo out of her
tube in the right direction, 100000
would go up in the air and 500 men
would be food for fishes. We may add,
in order to refute some groundless ac-
cusations, that the cost of the naval re-
view, imposing as the pageant looked,
was negligible. The cost was comput-
ed by Rear Admiral Evans at $500 all
told; for, as he pointed out, SO long as
a ship is in commission, it is just as
cheap for her to be at anchor off Oyster
Bay as to be steaming across the ocean.

Here's fish story: A sportsman
! fishing for salmon In one of the streams
/ that run into the Gulf of st. Law
renee discovered a spot where he was
convinced that a salmon ought to be
| lying. As he made his way through the
| bushes a cast which he had wound
around his hat became loosened. As
the sportsman peered over the bank a
fly on the loose cast gently touched the
water. Immediately a salmon seized it
and rushed away upstream, carrying
both hook and hat.

gether too much, and it is silly and

that the animals attention Is kept II

what his master wishes done.
There is, according to an explorer,
large and fierce South American spider

India's hunting leopard, the cheetah,
has a reputation as one Of the most
gentlemanly of beasts. Three Calcutta
visitors to northern India were out on
tramp when they were overtaken by
thunderstorm. They espied a cave
in the side of a hill and into it they
rushed. When the rain stopped they
came out and found cheetah sitting
licking the u6dNS wet Oh LIS HdLSb-
coat and his paws. 1t was his cave
but rather than deprive his visitors of
their shelter the polite creature had
sat outside in the driving tempest.
With friendly new and gracefully
wagging his TAIL the cheetah babe
adieu to his guests and walked with
dignity into his house.

than ten years OF age in the country
at the taking of the last census more
than 20 per cent, or 5,3I9,397, were en-
gagged In "gainful occupations" This
means that one and a quarter millions
of women In excess of the number In
1890 were working at various trades
and occupations During the decade the
number of women had increased from
100000 in 1890 to 2S, 246,0 0o in 1900.
One of the most notable increases In
the number of workers In any single
occupation is found in that of the STEM
ographer. In 1890 there were 21,210
women thus employed. In 1900 there
were SO, 11S, or a 200 per cent increase
in a decade If the increase has been
maintained at the same ratio there
must be now about $4,000 women stem
ographers in the country or, IL only
the annual average increase has been
maintained, there are now about 49,
900 women playing on the keys of type
writer's in various offices In the United
States.
As has been shown by the census
figures, women are pushing ahead into
almost every "gainful occupation" even
into those trades and occupations which
it had been believed were exclusively
mans heritage There never was so
vain a dream, it appears, as that which
pictured any 'gainful occupation" In
which women may not enter. For In
stance, In 1900 there were two women
''motormen," and there probably will
be more when the next census is taken.
Women In general do not succeed In
manly occupations any better than men
do, but the percentage of success may
be said to be greater in certain fields.
One reason for the triumph of the mod
ern woman in the field of mans work
is to be found in the care she usually
takes to fit herself for her chosen occu-
patton, and the seriousness with which
she takes herself leads to a determine
ton to succeed that simply eompels
success.

! There was never a time In the his
| tory Of the earth when the door of OPP
! portunity to the technical branches of
/ the worlds work was so invitingly held
open to women as it is to-day. That
the gentler sex In the United States Is
taking advantage Of this enlarged
sphere of her activity is very plainly
shown In the. figures of the last census.
Census reports are generally regard
ed as a useful but uninteresting aceu-
mutation of facts, but while this Is
true, they render no slight service in
estimating the value Of important
movements. According to the census
Of 1900 there are 305 ''galnful occupa-
tons In this country, and of that
number women were found in 297,
leaving only eight in which, at the time
the census was taken, they were not
engaged.
To enumerate these occupations In
which woman is not found is to argue
that she has succeeded In getting into
nearly ali. There are, for instance, no
women soldiers, sailors or marines.
Perhaps If the law was not explicit
women might be found navigating a
battleship or fighting submarine. But
the law she had no hand In framing

right to vote there may be another

nor apprentices and helpers to roofers
