NOVEL SCHEME.

The following item was received at
this Office yesterday from the Los An
geles Chamber Of mines, and should
be of interest to the many people in
the southern district.
The Los Angeles Chamber Of
Mines plans to give during the year

without charge for admission, the
chamber assuming all expense Incl
dent to the preparation of slides, pro-
viding the stereoptican, hall, lecturer,
etc. These lectures will be devoted
entirely to an exploitation Of the min
ing industry of the southwest, illus
trating the various districts, principal
towns, producing properties, and
such other features as may be deem
ed of interest to mining men and the
general public. There will be no
charge made by the cooperation of
all mining companies and public
spirited citizens of the southwest is
required to the end that the lectures
may prove instructive and valuable.
The chamber desires to secure at
once series of photographs Cor neg
atives If they can be furnished), from
which selections can be made for the
first lecture, which will be general
in character. These photographs can
cover a wide range of subjects, viz:

The Death Watch"

The patient, after suffering long,
had fallen into deep sleep, and the
nurse, iii the still hours of the night,
was. with anxious forebodings, criti-
caHy watching her charge. IntentIy
she listened 10 his weak and irregular
breathing, and while she listened a
weird ticking commenced. Five gem
tie but distinct taps-a pause-fve
more taps. hut this time from d differ
Ont direction: then "A dead silence.
The old and superstitious nurse hone
lessly raised her hands and shook her
head. All now was of avail 1t
was warming. She had heard the
death watch
Two hours later the patient died .
enough III the pages of novels not very
many years ago.
In earlier days the death watch was
heard much more frequently than now:
indeed. Was quite popular terror
among the superstitious and ignorant,
who believed in 'omens," warnings
and such presages OF future events
However. like most of the superstitious
fancies Of bygone days. this supposed
prophetic and mysterious .augury.'
when investigated with ordinary scien-
titc methods of observation, proves to
be entirely fallacious ana a delusiop.
The death watch that produces
the weird tickinSs formerly so much
feared Is nothing more or less than a
mischieyous and destructive little bee
lie madly in love and very DESTROYS of
finding its mate. Thus is the fallacy
~ our ancestors regarding this lnys-
terry dispelled.

Tie Future of the Steam Locomotive

II. Keith TRASH. In tho Engineering Magazine
The past decade has indeed witnessed a
radical development in the American loco
motive. Some OF the most far-rcaching
improvements in design have occurred
during the past five years. Had any man
We should have locomotives running on
our roads W TN sixteen wheels connected
ne would have been a target for ridicule
and. probably. his sanity would have been
a matter of investigation. Today II would
be bold man who would venture a con-
lecture as 10 where lie increase is to
stop.
That the Maliet type Of engine is to be
the freight locomotive of the future seems
reasonably certain. In passenger service
there are several lines of development
poss Bile. That some form of balanced
engine Will be required for high speed
seems probable. Whether this balanced
engine shall be q four-cylinder compound
a three or four cylinder simple en-
CINE using superheated steam, time alone
can show.
One thing is certain: in spite OF the pre-
dictions of those who would have us be-
, lieye electricity 10 be the power OF the
future, the steam locomotive must re-
main the principal factor in long distance
land transportation for many years to
come. The introduction of the large Mai
let engine has robbed the electrical advo-
Gates of one OF their stock arguments,
that we have arrived at the limit of size
and capacity In the steam locomotive.

Simple Electro. Chemical Experimen,

E. Z. Carey, in the Engineering Magazine.
An interesting experiment illustrating
electro chemical action can be tried by
any one. Pour a few ounces of mercury
into a fiat glass or porcelain dish; pour
over the mercury half an inch of water
containing pinch of salt or a few drops
of acid; immense the negative wire from
a dry battery in the mercury. Now
touch the water only with the positive
wire and note the activity that al once
is manifest. Try this experiment with
dirty mercury and note the instantaneous
Frightening and cleaning of the mercury.
Place the positive pole i'm the mercury
and the negative in the water. and the
mercury soon becomes foul Restore the
wires to their original position and note
that the mercury clears at once. Grind
the mercury In small mortar with some
sulphur or oil and 1t becomes foul. Now
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-12-09

return the fouled mercury TO the dish
and apply the current at first. Note
the clearing of the mercury and see how
quickly the detached globules coalesce
Then remove the mercury and add 4.
pinch of bichloride of mercury to the
water: immense both wires and note how
quickly there is deposition of mercury
on the cathode or negative wire. In this
simple experiment Is the germ of the
electrolytic system for the recovery OF
precious metals While the theory Of
electro-chemical action has been known
for many decades. 1t is only within the
last few years that methods and ma
chimes for making a practical use of the
theoretical knowledge have been devised.

A Clever Coin Trick.
From the Strand Magazine.

ASK friend TO put quarter In one
pocket and dime in the opposite pocket
Tell him that the quarter represents 20
and the dime >. Now ask him to triple
the coin that is in his right pocket and
double that which is in his left pocket
and then add these two products to-
gether. simply telling you whether the
result is odd or even. II it is even, then
the quarter is in his right pocket and
the dime in the left; il it be odd. then
the quarter is In his left pocket and the
dime in his right You may give any
values to the coins other than 20 and !.
provided that one number is odd and the
other even. the even number being given
to the quarter. And YOU can, OF course
use any other coins. so long as you give
them odd and even values.

DRY FARMING CONVERTS ARID
WASTES INTO FERTILE FARMS

The Dry Farming Congress is now
organized, with some persistency and
determination to be heard from in the
matter of urging its claims upon the
attention of the public. The faith
that the promoters and operators of
this association have in their claims
of dry farming methods, well carried
out, cannot be questioned, says the
editor of the Twentieth Century Farm
er. The experiences and results Of
careful and persistent work in crop
growing efforts are the evidence that
is offered in testimony of the feast
bility of dry farming methods and dry
farming as an industry.
The Fourth Dry Farming Congress
will hold it's meeting at Billings, Mon
tana, October 26, 81 and %, 1909. This
will not only be an institute for dry
farming farmers and dry farming in
structors and teachers, but it will be
an exposition of dry farming products
such as this or no other country has
ever witnessed.
The Dry Farming Congress will be
good place to visit next October, in
view of getting dry farming informa-
ton and dry farms on which to put in
into practice. The Dry Farming Con-
gress announces that there are 200,
100000 acres of arabic land awaiting
development by the dry farming meth
