CYANIDE WON'T
KILL TARANTULA

Something apparently new has
been learned about tarantul as.
Cyanide is supposed to produce
almost instant death in any thing
that has life to lose. The other
day a big tarantula was captured
by some-of the men at the Nevada
Wonder mill. and it was determ-
ined to kill him scientifically. A
a partially filled with the
ordinary cyanide solution was
procured. and his bugship sub
merged in it for half an hour.
When the solut on was poured off
of him no further effect seemed
TO have been produced than to
rifle up" his by no means amiable
disposition
Shorty" Brambell remarked
that he would fix MIN, so, procur-
ing some more cyanide. he made
a solution strong enough TO kill all
the men in town. The tarantula
was put in this mixture. and merely
crawled out. A weight was put
on him, forcing him under the
water. and he lived there three
hours under the surface. and
finally drowned. The truth of the
above is vouched for by 'Shorty,"
and his reputation for truth and
veracty is ~good,-Wonder News.

HAMILTON GUN FIGHTERS
ARE HEAVILY FINED

August Munter and Nick La
polla, who INDUCED in an old-time
shooting match at Hamilton about
two weeks ago. we're arraigned
before Justice Cartwright yester-
day, and were fined $500 each, or
six months in the county Jail. Both
men plead guilty to carrying
concealed weapons.
Justice Cartwright did not enter
into the particulars of the cause
leading up to trouble between the
men which reulted in many shots
being fired in the business portion
of Hamilton, and it was not neces-
airy to do so as the men plead
guilty to the charge of carrying
concealed weapons and were given
a sentence which will go far TO-
wards putt ng down gun plays in
White Pine county.
In sentencing the men Justice
Cartwright stated that it was his

These decision are in line with
public sentiment in this county.

THE DICTAPHONE

This is an age of new things
and new conveniences for the
transaction of business and carry
ing on the ordinary affairs of life.
One hundred years ago there were
no electric lights and no telephones
in existence. The wonders of
electricity revealed ty Edison and
Marconi lay dormant, but ready to
spring forth at the command of
their maigc wand. Now the ap-
~plication of electricity to the affairs
of life is no longer a dream, but a
reality.
The latest application of this
wonderful agent to reach Elko is
the Dictaphone in Attorney Gaines
office. This machine is composed
in reality of three machines, the
receiver, the re-producer and the
shaving machine.
The receiver records the dicta-
ton of the party and preserves it
on a roll. This roll is put in the
re-producer and gives up its secret
to the n who is to copy them.
The shaving machine is used to
shave the rolls after they have
been used and make them ready to
be used again.
The machine is a wonderful piece
Of mechanism ard is a great saver
Of time. Instead Of debating to
his stenorgapher, Mr.. Game talks
into the receiver and the roll re-
cords his words. The roll is the n

GOES 4 WEEK WITHOUT FOOD

To be lost in the mountains for
q week without food was what
befell a Frenchman named Antoine
Fournier 4 short time ago. Along
about the frs of the tn he left
here with a carload Of bucks and
was going to James Corbeil's
sheep camp at New York canyon
in the Pine Forest range. Two
weeks ago, when somewhere be-
tween the Sod House station and
Quinn River Crossing. for some
unknown reason he got on a trail
that led Inn and the sheep into the
mountains. away from TIE right
road. Fournier is about 73 years
of age and his eyesight is poor,
and he probably got bewIldered
for he was lost for six days be ore
he was found by a searching
party, who tracked him into the
mountains. He was found about
eighty miles from his destination.
During the time that he was lost
he was without food and he was in
a precaipus condition when found,
but it is believed that the old man
will fully recover from the ordeal.

TAXATION BY TARIFF

John Arbuckle, the millionaire
sugar refiner and coffee packer,
left the other day for a vacation in
Europe where he expects to recu-
perate his strength and powers to
carry on his fight to have the tariff
removed from raw sugar.
He don't term the tariff tax a
mere economical error but de-
nounces il as a positive wicked
ness. His o%besrvtions are indeed
interesting.

their needs, reversing an elemental

A specific instance of great en-
phasis and undoubted point. but it
can be applied with equal force to
the whole high tariff system, which
is an I'M Istice throughout.

which he possesses or on the income

sense, is just what the tariff does.

STRIKE SITUATION

GATHERING RUBBER

The industry of collecting and
preparing rubber is carried on
extensively in the valley If the
Amazon. There are districts OF
many square miles owned and ope-
rated By one person. The rubber
trees are scattered more or less
plentifully among other trees that
yield no profit az yet.
When one has secured a large
tract,of forest land for the industry
he puts up a rough shelter upon
it.and engageslndian natives % the
neighborhood to aid him in the
work. Early in the morning they
start out TO make the rounds Of
the estate, for they must get back
TO the riverside before the heat OF
the day becomes too great. They
! tap the trees, attach little tin cups
to catch the sap and take home
whatever sap may be collected.
The sap of the rubber tree is a
white liquid Of the consistency of
goats milk. Ii is necessary that
il be cnoverted into a solid. This
is effected by the action of a pung.
en- smoke that cOagnlates or curdles
the milky fluid. For this use the
seeds Of two different kinds OF
palm are employed. The seeds are
put in an earthen jar which has a
narrow neck, the bottom of which
is perforated with a number OF
square holes. In this the palm
nuts are burned. The holes in the
bottom of the jar admit a draft
and causes a dense smoke to issue
from the neck.
The operator takes q paddle
similar to that with which ht
paddles his canoe and holds tn,
blade Of it .Uyer the jar. Upon y
he pours the milky juice, cup by
cup, all the time turning the blade
so as to bring all parts of il int
the smoke. The fluid is Instant!
fixed and adheres to the wood Of
to the rubber already formed
This process is continued until
solid lump is formed that viii
perhaps weigh sixteen pounds
When the lump has grown larg,
enough for handling a slit is Gu
in it and the blade is drawn out
a mass of rubber is left ready 70

in cOaguIating the sap that give!

Natives who collect rubbe.
have, curiously enough, little US,
for the article. They do. however
devise playthings for their child

mOulds of birds, fishes, etc, ant
then crushing the clay and remov
ing it.-New York Press.
