The Parthenon.

The destruction OF that famous
building the Parthenon took place In
1887 during the siege Of Athens by
the Venetlans. The Turks held the
city. and the Parthenon was used for
a powder magazine One day during
the conflict Venetian bombshell drop
ped into the building. and the explo-
sion followed which badly shattered
the structure. From that date the re-
nowned building has stood roofiess and
exposed 20 all the inclemencIes OF the
weather. For more than 1000 years
the temple stood entire. and In its
ruins Is the architectural wonder Of
the world.-New York American

TUNGSTEN IS A
REMARKABLE METAL

The use of tungsten as an alloy
for fine tool steel and as a filament
for incandescent electric lamps, has
made possible on the one hand the
production of steel tools possessing
an efficiency never dreamed of by
the most expert steel forgers of a
generation or so ago, and again, has
brought to civilization an artificial
illuminant rivaling in purity and
brilliancy the rays of the sun. In
an illustrated article in the May
number of Popular Mechanics by
Elliott Mitchell describes this re-
markable metal. Among other
things he says: while the use
of tungsten as an alloy for tool
steel creates market for extensive
mining of the metal, it is in electric
lighting thatI it holds the field a.
gainst all rivals. It's great resis-
lance to heat makes it unsurpassed
for use as a filament in incandes-
cent electric lamps, and such lamps
are rapidly coming into common use.
1t is the most perfect of artificial
lights. The one great drawback to
the use of the lamps that the
A,
filament is brittle and the loss in
shipment is large. The life of the
tungsten-filament lamp is, however,
fully twice that of carbon lamp,
and it can be used on either alter
mating or direct current. AS thous-
ands Of filaments can be. made from
pound of tungsten, the market for
tungsten ores for this use is very
small and the supply can never be
exhaushted." ..r

Ryan AND ECGERS MUST
A CT ALONE ON CHARGES

The charges against Supt. Gibson
Of the Nevada Insane Asylum, pub
lished in The Appeal of last evening,
called forth the statement from two
members of the Board of Commits
sioners for the Asylum, State Treas
urer Ryan and State Controller Eg-
gers, in this mornings issue of the
Carson City News. Both of these
gentlemen state that Governor Dick
erson has failed to call a meeting of
the Board to consider these charges
and for that reason they have not
been acted upon. The facts in the
case are that accompanying the
charges was letter from the Gov
ernor stating that they, Ryan and
Eggers, could do as they saw fit with
the charges, being that they were
. in the majority and that he had
stated previously that he. would have
nothing whatever TODD with.the con-
duct of the Asylum so long as Glib
son was in control.
Governor Dickerson was seen, by
representative of this paper this
afternoon regarding the Statement
of Ryan and Eggers and made the
following statement: 'The pur-
ported statement of Mr.. Ryan and
Mr.. Eggers is labored effort to
avoid responsibility for the con-
duct of the Nevada Hospital for
Mental Diseases, which they will be
forced to assume. During the past
year numerous meetings of the
Board have been held for the purpose
of Investigations were simply a
waste of time of the members of
the Board and the money of the state
to pay the expenses of the members
to and from Reno and resulted in
nothing.
On March 9th the Board went
to Reno for the purpose of investi-
eating charge of insubordination
against Mr.. Driscoll, perferred by
the Superintendent. These charges,
strange to say, in the light of the
attitude of Mr.. Ryan and Mr.. Egg
gers at this time, were not sworn
to, and no copy so far as am aware,
was served on Mr.. Driscoll, nor was
the nature of the insubordination
complained of stated in the letter,
yet the Board saw fit to go to Reno
and investigate these charges and,
by the way, the charges were not
substantiated by Doctor Gibson at
the hearing, as the minutes of the
Board will show. The Nevada
Hospital for Mental Diseases has
been in turmoil for the past year

Of DR.. Gibson and after Mr.. Dris-
