ELECTRIC DANGERS.
The Treatment For Injury Received
From Live Wires.


From Live Wires.
Most of the injuries resulting from
electric shocks are suffered by line
men, by workers In power houses or
by brakemen on electric railways who
happen to touch the third rail, but
with the multiplication Of trolley lines
in city and country and with the ex-
tension of the system Of transmission
of currents of enormous voltage over
long lines by bare wires strung on
poles the danger to the general pub
lie is constantly increasing.
Most Of the accidents are produced
by alternating currents. This is not
because such currents are more dan
gerous than the direct current, but
because they are usually Of higher
voltage. 1t Is not known how high
the voltage must be to cause DEATH
Much depends upon the mode of con-
tact, whether the current passes
through only q small part Of the body,
as when the two points Of contact
are in the same arm or leg, or wheth-
er it passes from one arm to the other
or from the hand to the foot.
4 partial degree Of insulation may
also prevent serious consequences, as
when one is standing on perfectly dry
ground or when the contact is made
through the clothes. An English wri-
ter on medical electricity says that 1t
has been proved that a man with dry
clothing can sit on third rail which
carries a direct current Of $50 volts
and grasp the outer rail without re-
ceiving any shock whatever; but the
experiment is not recommended to
the curious.
When one has received a severe
electric shock which has not been i'm
mediately fatal he presents signs of
greatly lowered vitality. He is un-
conscious or semi-conscious with al
most imperceptible pulse, irregular
and feeble inspiration, cold, clammy
skin, relaxed muscles and dilated pu-
pills.
If he is still in contact with the live
wire the muscles may be strongly
contracted, and 1t may be difficult to
release him. Any one who attempts
to drag him away should have his
hands protected by rubber gloves or
by dry coat folded several times, and
he must see that the place where he
stands is dry and that his foot Is not
in contact with a rail.
The treatment consists mainly In
stimulation of the heart and respira-
ton. Aromatic spirits of ammonia or
some other stimulant should be given
if the man can swallow, and artificial
respiration should be practised. This
may be done by placing the person
fiat on the ground and COMPRISING
the chest firmly but gently for g. few
seconds and repeating sixteen or eigh-
teen times a minute. The legs should
be raised and the arms and legs rub
bed in the direction toward the body
At the same time hot bottles may be
applied to the body.-Youth's Com
panion.

POSTAGE Stamn Cheats.

You would be surprised" said a
postoffice clerk, lat the efforts people
make to avoid the payment Of post
age. And quite often it is not the
" Work of children either. The most
common trick Is to take the stamp
that has been Cancelled by hand and
the impression just touches the edge
of the stamp. After pricking the
marked edge with a pin or cutting it
with a pair of shears to resemble the
punctured edge of the stamp or tear.
ing away that part the stamp is put
on an envelope for another voyage
All these are placed in the hands OF
postal inspectors for investigation.
"Others try to give the impression
that a stamp had been put on an en-
velope and became loose and lost in
transit by sticking a stamp on the en-
velope and then pulling it with part
Of the envelope sticking to 1t off
again. These as well as underpaid
letters, unless they have foreign des-
tination, where postage is then col
lected are marked Returned for pos
tag, and sent ba:k to ,he sender
Second class matter, as a roll Of news
papers, is often sealed against inspec-
the cover. Whether foreign or not II
is returned for postage. When II
again shows up, the mistake rectified
upon inspection it is usually found to
contain written letters, photographs
(unmounted), jewelry, merchandise
of all kinds, making the package un-
derpaid; hence it is again returned.
But the limit Of foolishness comes
when a person tries to efface the inde-
lible ink from the stamp and with
half the features of the stamp missing
or rubbed away and some of the ink
still remaining affiXes it to an envel-
ope, with the address of the sender
upon the back to facilitate investiga-
ton.
This, though, is stretching it lit
tie too much: A postcard that had
been put through a canceling ma
chine and delivered to the addressee
had the canceling impression and the
address scratched off with the aid of
sharp knife and a new address sub
stituted and a written message pasted
on the reverse side. New York Sun.

At Yer ington, we find the diorite and lime formation. with strong capping of iron gossan. though at Yerington this iron capping is not so wide as you have in this section. At Yerington the sul- phide zone was reached at a depth of from 150 to 200 feet, and I should judge that here you will reach the sul- phides in a considerably lesser depth The Ludwig mine at Yerington has taken out several million dollars in ore and I see no reason why some of the mines in this section should not equal it's record, for they have everything in their favor.
 The copper values of this camp seem to have been most largely in the minds of the people. but have seen some sdmples of gold ore from prop critics which I have personally exam ined, which, if shown in Nevada. would have caused a stampede to the point of discovery. and not a horse. wagon or automobile would have been left in town within an hour after the speci- men was exhibited. l have seen rhyo- lite and phonolite here which is iden- tical with ore which has made Gold field and Tonopah famous Develop ment is all that it needs to show up very rich ore"
