Invented the explosive, and his claim was that
with it vessel could be destroyed from the
outside Just as well as from the inside. 1t has
been held that high explosives lose their force
unless more or less confined. 1t was known to
be the rule that the effect of the explosion
generally went upward and outward away from
he object against which 1t discharged.
Mr.. Isham believed that charge Of his ammu-
milton against the side of vessel would open
the armor and would not expend its force in
the air.
The monitor Puritan chosen for the
pertinent charge of 200 pounds of the
plosive was placed in an unconfned condition

HAVE YOU SEEN FOWLER?

The last report we have from
Fowler is that he is still waiting
for repairs for his machine II
those have reached him and there
are no further delays, he expects
to hit the air tomorrow. But
there have been so many false
reports sent out that it is only the
most credulous that can believe
anything that comes in the future.
IL he starts tomorrow morning, a
dispatch says, he expects to reach
Elko tomorrow night. Our opinion
is that he will be in EIko when he
gets here. OF course you may
have different opinion, which is
your blessed privilege.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
MULTIPLICATION OF FLIES

A female house fly which has
hibernated in a dwelling-house or
elsewhere may produce in the
spring, at the lowest estimate, l20
eggs. Assuming that one-half of
these hatch as females. and allowing
that the breeding goes on without
check for four months we have as
the descendants of a singel hi
bernatibg individual 2l4,557.s44,-
800. 600. 900, 900, 900 flies. Now,
house fly measures exactly one.
fourth of an inch in length; the
distance around the earth at the
equstor is sail to be 24.SOO miles.
1t would take, therefore. 1858,
$4,000 flies placed end to end to
90 around the world once. Using
this number as a denomination,
and the number of flies produced
in four months from one mother
as numerator, we find she will
give rise, in the course of q
summer, to nearly enough flies to
encirclc the globe at the equator
5000 times and have plenty of
progeny to spare.

Phileas Fogg was called a great
traveller when he went around the
earth. Mr.. Taft's distance total
would reach around the world at
our latitude a dozen times and
more. 1t would take a city man
$50 years going daily to and fl ON

president could have gone 600

RUSH WORK Of FENCING
RAILROADS SHOP GROUNDS

Though railroads officials claim
that the fencing of the local shops
and roundhouse grounds has been
contemplated for many years. the
work Of erecting the barrier has
been pursued for the past two
days with more expedition than
has ever been noticeable in any
other railroad work in the vicinity.
Many carloads # lumber arrived
early in the week and Thursday
five bridge crews began the work
OF construction.
And considerable of an en-
closure il will be. The total
length of the fence will be con-
siderably over mile, the area to
be enclosed being approximately
1860 feet in length and $50 feet
wide. with some angles. The
height is eight feet. capped with
outward slipping arms carrying
three strands of barbed wire to
make scaling difficult.
Inside the enclosure will be the
main shop house. power house,
master mechanics office building,
the roundhouse and accessory
buildings in fact, all of the local
mechanical departments including
large area of vacant ground for
future expansion.
The shop men are inclined 10
look upon the building of the
fence as preparation for the
threatened strike, and although it
is but regulation fence. such as
are usual about premises of this
nature Of recent years, it is
probable that its construction may
have been somewhat fastened by
the impending prospect of q walk
out. In any event, a continuation
Of the present speed of coonstruc-
tion will see the enclosure COM
pleted in very few days.
At this writing Friday even
ing) the strike situation is still
uncertain 1t is stated that the
local union voted unanimously in
favor of strike Thursday night
this as checking up of the pre-
vious vote Of the various local
unions.
From other sources comes the
statement that the federation is
not prepared for a strike at this
time and will probably recede
from its position. All sorts of
statements as to the date of strik-
ing are made from day to day, nut
no definite information is obtain
able. The opinion that the strike
will not occur is still prevalent
among more conservative labor
men everywhere.-Las Vegas

THE BACKWARD
FLOW OF IMMIGRATION

We hear much of the inflow of
foreign immigration and the
problems it brings with it and the
probable mena e it is to our
institutions. Less frequently do
we hear Of the backward flow of
this population to the countries
from which it came.
AS matter of fact such a sniff
Of currents is an unusual happen
ing and it takes place now for the
first time in three years. The
number of streerage passengers
embarked from New York up to
the middle of September was
1000 more than the total number
of 1910.
Thi, ebb tide of immigration is
described by The Outlook as
follows: 1.-The volume of immi-
grafton for the calendar year up
to August l was Apr Ultimately 80
per cent below that of tn, cores
ponding period last year, while the
eastward movement was one.third
greater. For the seven months
the eastward bound third class
travel averaged one-half that of
the west bound, and IN July the
movement in the two directions
practically balanced. With the
exception of l308 no year of which
there is record of the easter y
flow shows as large number of
passengers in the immigration
quarter of the steamships bound
for Europe in proportion to the
number going in the other
direction"
The year 1908 was a time of
financial depression and the con-
sequent hating Of Industry and
the resulting lessening demand for
laborers, and similarly other times
when the outward flow of immi-
grantion has been great, have been
times of industrial stagnation.
The present year, however, is
anything but such a period. Com
merce, industry and agriculture
are flourishing as never before.
No satisfactory explanation has
yet been given for the outEo, tho
it is known the number of immi-
grants from foeign countries rises
and falls in direct relation with
the condition Of labor, demand here.
The Outlook thinks that this
falling off Of the demand for labor
may be credited to the more con.
sentative attitude Of capital since
1907 and more centralized con-
troll Of manufacturing"
Whatever the explanation may
be, it is clear that our labor de-
mand is adjusting itself to the
home supply without making extra
bids for the cheap labor Of
Europe. Atlanta Georgia.

Union Pacifics decline at the low price

The depression in several railroad stocks
