Civet is an aromatic substance of
the consistence of honey and is OBJ
tanned from a pouch on the civet cat,
an animal from two to three feet long
and about ten or twelve inches high.
The best known of animal odors is
musk, which is obtained from the
musk deer. China furnishes the best
quality. Twenty-Five pods or sacks
are packed in oblong boxes composed
of plates of lead inclosed in a caddy
made of pasteboard. Musk is obtain
ed from Assam, Siberia, the Altai
mountains and other parts of northern
Asia. Ambergris is another animal
odor. 1t is secreted in the intestines
of the spermaceti whale. A very curl

MICROSCOPIC MESSAGES.
How a Single Pigeon Might Carry a
Whole Library.

WhoIe Library.
For more than 1000 years carrier
pigeons have been used to carry mes
sages when no other means sufficed,
and during the siege of Paris, when
1863 birds were sent out from the doom
ed city, one of the birds performed the
almost incredible feat of carrying to
the outside world on one trip no less
than 10000 messages averaging twenty
words each. This was 100000 words,
or the equivalent of five or six average
novels.
This marvel was accomplished by
means of microscopic photography, the
messages being first printed with ordi-
nary type and then photographed and
photographed until they had been
reduced several hundred diameters.
The final photographs were taken on
films or pellicles Of collodon. each of
which, about two inches square, con-
tanned 10000 words. A dozen of these
films. rolled up in quill. weighed but
one twenty eighth of an ounce. The
messages could. of course, be read
with microscope without the neces-
sity Of rephotographing and charging.
Under favorable conditions and for
comparatively short distances pigeons
have carried as much as three-quar-
tiers of an ounce. Using the photo re-
duction method, 1t would therefore be
possible for a single bird to carry
messages equal in words to no fewer
than 120 ordinary volumes.-Harper's
Weekly.

SEEING THE FAR EAST.

The best books on the east, as every
one knows. are the Bible and the Ara
bian Nights" and yet | found most
travellers were saturating themselves
with simplify descriptions of monu-
ments and places, with tabloids Of his
tory, with technical paragraphs on ar
chitecture and the ethnic religions,
with figures about the height of this

statistics Of exports and imports and
the tonnage through the Suez canal
and dates about the Pharaohs and the
Mughals. No wonder they see nothing,
know nothing. enjoy nothing and come
home bringing few explosives, adjec-
tiyes and photographs which can be
had for small price in either New
York or London.
The first thing to do in going to the
east is to turn your education out on
your desk so that you can get at the
bottom of it. and there you will find

and the odyssey" aud "Iliad" and

Earth, Astronomers Assert.
The powerful reflection mirror of the
Mount Wilson sixty inch telescope.
near Los Angeles has found and pho
tographed a swirling mass Of gases
100000. 100000 miles in diameter in the
act of throwing off new world.
The photograph shows a spiral nebu-
la, apparently disproving the nebular
hypothesis of the famous French as
tronomer La Place/and substantiating
the more recent nebu r hypothesis of
Professor Chamberlain of Chicago uni
versity.
This photograph is by far the most
distinct photograph of a spiral nebula
ever taken. 1t was taken by Professor
G. W. Ritchey of the observatory staff.
Chamberlain and his colleagues recent
ly evolved the theory of spiral nebu-
la whipping from its gaseous masses
matter to become it's satellites. These,
cooling, will become planets and may
become inhabitable like the earth.
The spiral nebula in the Mount Will
son photograph is known to scientists
as Messier 81, according to the chart
of the French scientist Messier.
Invisible to Naked Eye.
Using the lower limit or most con-
sentative base of figures, 1t is calculat-
ed to be 5,S65, COG, 100000 miles from
earth. Not even the faintest glimmer
of its light can be seen from earth by
the naked eye. To the smaller tele-
scopes it seems a blur-hazy, without
form or shape.

miles from the central luminous area
of the larger nebula. 1t may itself
become an Independent nebula and

occupied by the spiral nebula from
which it sprang.
More probably. say scientists, the
larger body will hold it In attraction

But we find many more of the spiral
nebulae than of the other variety.
1.-The nebula we have photographed
is one of the comparatively few of

and is really remarkable. This neb-

Tolstoy's Intensity.

Everything in Tolstoy's character,
says Russian writer attains titanic
proportions. "As drinker he absorbed
fantastic quantities Of liquor. AS a
gambler he terrified his partners by
the holiness of his play. AS a soldier
he advanced gayly to bastion four, the
bastion of death at Sevastopol. and
there he made dying men laugh at his
witty sayings. He surpassed every
one by his prodigious activity in sport

Mining Camp is
 Destroyed by CIoudburst.

c. J. McNulty arrived yesterday from his mining camp in Hassayampa district and reports the destruction of all surface ground improvements at the R. A. NJ. mine, with damaging of un- der ground workings by heavy cloud burst on the head of Little Copper Creek, early in the week. Mir. McNul- ty states that the water came down the gulch in such volume and with such force as to wash away the shaft house and it's contents, the blacksmith shop and 300 ton of good milling ore on the dump with other property, making in the aggregate loss of several hund- reds of dollars in accommodations, and several thousands in ore values. The water reached the l20 foot level pack ing up h the face for many feet boul- ders and debris, and filling that open Ing with water from the face to the mouth. It will require considerable expense to remove the Instructions.

and giving satisfaction. The mine en- zine now being equipped for the new system is the High Ore and this will complete all the mines 10 be operated under the new system at time, but it seems to be generally understood that in the course of a few months arrange ments will be made for applying the same system to all the other mines in the district, as it is being clearly dem- onstrated that the system is a most feasible one and that electricity is in the vicinity of 50 per cent cheaper than steam.
 The Anaconda Co. is gradually intro ducing electricity in the place of steam. Two big pumps have been in- stalled in the High Ore and these, operated by steam, are to be held in reserve. In the course of a short time the underground haulage of ore will all be done by electrically operated cars instead of by those drawn by mules as at present.

Greene Cananea.

A late report from Cananea states that the May results at Greene Can anea were the most satisfactory thus far obtained by the company. The cost of production for that month in cluding construction was not in excess of nine cents per pound. This low cost is regarded as a very important indication of what Greene Cananea can do. Although it had been pre- dicted by the management that a cost of nine cents CT pound would be at- tained, this figure was hardly expected at the present tune.
 Greene Cananea's construction is rapidly heinz completed, and was less than 2O,OOOS for the month of May. Thls should be still further reduced until the normal amount is reached, which should probably not exceed 1O,- OOOS.-Copper Era.
