Home Moving Pictures.

In being adapted for the home nov ing pictures have entered new and very promising stage. A simple ap- paratus recently patented is described as only three feet long by one foot deep. It is provided with a ground glass at one end, on which picture Sx10 inches in size can be thrown, but if a larger view is required, the ground glass can be removed, when the image will be projected upon a white sheet or other surface provided, and will be enlarged more or less, according to the distance from the machine of this new screen. Any convenient light, such as an acetylene bicycle lamp-will serve for an illu. imitation. It is expected that the ap- paratus will be made in variety of styles, from a cost of dollar or two to quite expensive outfits, and the spools of film, lasting two to three minutes, are to be furnished at prices comparable to those of photograph records Freedom from risk of fire is claimed, as the film is heated much less than by the powerful lights nee essary for the larger machines.

Steel Supersedinq Wood.

The substitution of steel for wood goes steadily on. Beginning with January 1, or whereabouts, the Ma tional Lead Company will pack it's white lead in steel kegs, having de- cided to abandon the use of wooden kegs. This innovation Is made be- cause the company has concluded that steel kegs will have many advantages over the wooden kegs. In the first place, the steel package does not ab- sorb the oil from the lead as porous wooden packages do, and there is, therefore, no drying and caking of the lead around the edges, making it possible to remove every particle of white lead easily from the steel keg. The new steel kegs also will be much lighter as well as being stronger thau the wooden ones, and this will effect a saving in freight charges. Taking up less room than the wooden kegs, the new steel package also will save storage space.

HOW DAVIS IS ADVERTISING
 ARKANSAS.

It will have to be admitted that this glorious land of ours it the only one that can produce Jeff Davis. Ills type of statesmanship is not discover able anywhere else under the sun.
 Of course there are demagogues Tn other countries, and very cheap ones. But they have not Jeff's quality, his peculiar eloquence, his awful combin- ation of the tragic and the comic, hls appalling noise and appalling ignor- ance.
 It is consolng to think, however, that most Americans are ashamed of Jeff. And it is to be hoped that by this time most of the people of his own dear state are ashamed of him. It IS to be hoped that they realize how great is their responsibility for send ing him to the most dignified leglsla- tive body on earth.
 Fortunately the senate itself cannot be accused of taking pride in him: In this regard, at least, 1t is blaneless, no matter how many hard things may be said about it's members. But 1t should be too august to laugh at his antics. It may blush over them or weep over them, but laughing is out of place. It is unforgivable even though a speech by Jeff should always result, as it did recently, in general chorus against him and a single loud roar in his favor when a vote was de- manded Editorial in Chicago Rec ord Herald.

MOSTLY MADE IN TEN YEARS
lutely Without Parallel in History of Self-Made Men.

The final appraisal of the late E. H. Hartman places 1t at value of $149,000,000 This is more than $50,- 100000 over the most liberal estimate made when it was a matter of specu- lation AS rule, when an appraisal of an estate of great wealth, which is much talked of, is made, the public estimate is found to be greater than the fact. Estates shrink under care full examination. But in the present case the contrary has been the fact It is much larger than even his inti- mates supposed.
 The wonder of it is that such a great estate should have been accum ulated in the time it was. MT. Rocke- feller's great wealth was built up in a period covering 40 years; that of MT Carnegie in about the same time It took three generations to build up the Astor and Vanderbilt fortunes to their present mammoth proportions. The Morgan estate was erected on ac- cumulations made in prior genera tion and the time in which the great Hill, Kennedy and Strathcona fortunes were made was not less than 30 years. Yet Mr Harriman's great accumula- tions were made within period of ten years. It is without parallel in the history of selfmade fortunes of huge amounts-Brooklyn Eagle.

LITTLE WILLlE'S BRIGHT IDEA
He Caught Santa, All Right, But Prob ably Santa Had His Innings
 AfterWard.

A. B. Walkley, the dramatic critic of the London Times, refused, at din her at the Union club, to criticise adversely the New theater of New York.
 ITO criticise you adversely, at mo- ment when you are giving a feast in my honor, would surely be impolitic on my part" MT. Walkley said. "I should be putting my foot in it, like the Santa Claus of Chelsea.
 "A Chelsea artist-you know all London artists live in Chelsea-rose in the middle of the night on Christ mas eve, and, in pajamas and bare feet, proceeded to the coal black room of his little sons. He had in his arms toys, sweets and picture books, and his wife with glad heart watched him depart
 But minute after he entered the boys room he muttered a terrible cry.
 John, John, what's the matter?' cried his wife.
 "'Oh, he groaned i've caught my foot in a rat trap. "A nice place. he added, responsibility, for a rat trap, must say!'
 There, if I didn't forget!' the wife exclaimed. Willie told me he was going to set it to catch Santa.' /"

TOOK HIS OWN PHOTOGRA, ..
Clever Method by Which British Hunter Got Good Snapshot of
 Lion in Jungle.

Penetrating the wilds of British East Africa with a camera and cine matograph, MT Cherry Kearton, the skilled nature photographer" has brought back to England some amaz- ing pictures of strange beasts. MT. Kearton had one great disappoint- ment. The lion eluded him so far as the cinematograph was concerned. For a week on end, night and day, the pho tographer fixed his apparatus in a tree and waited for a lion. But he found the lions extraordinarily wary. The nearest he ever got to one with the cinematograph camera in daylight, was 150 yards. Then the lion, not the photographer, bolted. At this dis tance the lion appeared so small upon the photographic films that the pie ture was useless.
 But MT. Kearton had his revenge. He left camera shielded in leather case near the lion drinking pool. Above it, in a tree, was f1ashlight apparatus. From this a thread passed across the path the lion was known to tread. In the middle of the night down came the lion to drink. He broke the thread, ignited the rfagne- sium, and took an instantaneous pho tograph of himself before the brilliant flash sent him crashing away in alarm through the forest.

StanIey's Estimate of Leaders.

In his recent published autobiog- raphy Sir Henry M. Stanley says: The civil war only developed two frst-rank men, and those were Grant and Lee, but in the second rank there were many who might possibly, with opportunities, have rivaled the first two believe if it were put to the vote of the military class as to which was the greater of the two greatest captains of the war the vote would be cast for Robert E. Lee. Nevertheless there was something in Grant which, though not so showy as the strategy and dash of Lee, makes me cast my vote for Grant"

Death ofPioneer

William Lockwood, who will be
by all of the old timers
in the district, recently died at his
home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
The deceased came to Nevada in 1863
and located at Eureka, where he en-
barked In the harness business and
later became interested In the char
coal teaming in that section, which at
that time was one of the principal in
dustries of that camp. In the early
SOS Mr.. Lockwood came TO White
Pine county and went into the land
and sheep business and for several
terms was the treasurer of the coun-
ty. He was also interested in the
Georgetown tract near East Ely and
several years later sold his holdings
to the Mormon church and number
of the followers of that institution
came from Utah and made their
homes there until the Gunn-Thomp-
son interests bought the ground dur
ing the boom in this district few
years ago. The deceased was born
at Tyrone, New York, "a years ago
and is survived by widow and four
brothers-Frank, Tepheniah, Ulysses
and Jonathan. The funeral was un-
der the auspices of the Masonic or
der, Mr.. Lockwood having been one
of the charter members of the Eu-
reka Lodge No. 16 F. and A. NJ.

NEW ENGINES
ARRIVE At PIT
THREE DINKEYS THAT WE'RE
EXPECTED LONG AGO HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED BY THE Ne
VADA CONSOLIDATED.

There is no cessation in the work
going on at the steam shovel pit of
the Nevada Consolidated at Copper
Flat, and apparently there is no in
tention of cutting down the output
so long as the good weather lasts.
During the week the three new din
keys which have so long been ex-
pected, arrived and are now at the
pit. This will be great aid in the
work of getting out the overburden
and the ore. but at that they are
sending down the high line eight and
nine trainloads of ore day.
This means a tremendous rate of
speed in the work which Is going on
in the pit, for 1t represents an out
put of in the neighborhood of TO-
900 tons of ore a day. The noise of
the blast is constant, and the six
steam shovels are marvels o. energy.
AS usual, two of these are kept busy
in the ore and four are employed in
the overburden. And with all this
great work going on the change in
the pit is hardly noticeable. 1t would
seem like the brook, that the ore of
the pit must flow forever.
In the Liberty pit they are still
working one steam shovel and will
continue to do so until the spring,
when 1t is expected that they will be
ready to ship ore. 1t is possible that
one of the new dinkey engines will
be put over there to aid in the carry
ing away of the overburden.
At the coneentrator and smelter al
McGill things are rushing to handle
the ore which is being sent down
from Copper Flat. The reserves oi
concentrates are growing larger, and
from present indication, it does moi
look as If the winter could be severe
enough to create shortage of ore.
