MINING WITH HOME COMFORT

The hanging gardens of Babylon
may soon have to give way to the
underground truck farms of Mexi-
co if an experiment recently made
by a Chihuahua miner become gen.
orally prevalent in the mining dis
trict of that country. We are told
that an Almoloya miner las found
out that he can save great deal
of time over the putting together
of lettuce-leaf sandwich for his
lunch. or the occasional part aking
of lucious raw tomato, without
having to go to the surface to sat-
isfy fis taste. All he has to do,
and he has done it, SO he says, is
to bring down some good top soil
in to the mine plan the seeds and
Nature will do the rest, due to the
even temperature which revals in
the mine. AS a result of this ex-
pertinent, the progressive miners
have fine truck farm growing
down in one Of the old levels of
his mine, and so far has produced
a dimInutive, but at the same time,
satisfactory crop of pota toes, on
ions, lettuce and Tomatoes. All
that is necessary is to take down
some planks and on these spread a
few inches Of good earth, place
large potatoes in this without COW
ering and at good distance apart.
They will soon sprout and all the
work necessary is to keep the suck
ers and leaves cut off. The DO
tatoes grow to good size and have
been grown in the dark, have
practically no skin nor eyes, are
dry and mealy and of excellent flaw

NIGHT WATCHMAN IN BOTTLE

To bank cashier with a taste
for chemistry is due the credit of
a simple yet highly efficient cash
protector and cracksman tanner.
Several years ago Cashier Clark of
the Corona State hank, South
Dakota. hit upon the idea that if
he could place bottle of some
strong chemical between the outer
and inner doors of the vaults its
fumes might retard the work of
the safe breakers or perhaps
brighten them away. A quart
bottle of formaldehyde was i'm.
mediately given a position as a
silent Waterman between the
doors of the vault.
For about five years the "yegg
doctor" kept unobstrusive guard.
Finally early in November, 1910,
the test came. A couple of pro-
fessOnal cracksmen entered the
town. Two charges of nitro
glycerine were used on Cashier
Clark's safe that night. The first
one did little damage, but the
second wrecked both the outer
and inner doors, the latter from
their hinges and threw them out
into the vault and against the
small safe and safety deposit boxes.
The "yeggmen" did not wait to
wreck the inner safe, however, for
at the same moment The "yeg2
doctor" responded to a hurry call
and the fumes of full quart OF
formaldehyde filed the roum.
Choking and gasping, with tears
streaming from their eyes, the
criminals scrambled out the way
they had come in and left tracks
down the peaceful country high
way that fairly sizzled. For days
after the explosion the fumes of
formaldehyde were so strong tina,
person could not breathe in the
vault .-Technical World Magazine.

ENGINES As DELICATE
AS WATCHES

One .of the most emphatic
features of the machinist's strike
on the Hartman lines is the
development that these monster
locomotives that have become the
fad in the last ten years require as
careful and as sedulous nursing
as the veriest pulling babe of the
domestic nursery. They call for a
daily bath. scrubing and securing
with the same particularly as
though they were pieces of deli
cate mechanism that could not be
trusted outside of a glass case.
They are subject to whims and
spells which count for evil when
the shop doctor fails to prescribe
for their necessities. These mega
therium of the rails are so deli
cately constructed that any failure
on the part of the hostler and the
master mechanic to give them their
usual mothering at evening or
morning when they retire from
their race up and down the steel
rails implies a. soreness that will
soon result in a stubbornness equal
to the obstinacy of the wilful
child. They must have their
stomacbs filled with nutritious
supplies to call forth fresh
energy. and then their faces must
be polished to shine with gladncss
that marks the snail like pace of
the small boy on the opening day
of school. These two hundred ton
monsters of the engineering world
are as delicate in their interior as
the most precious product of the
jewelers. BENCH, and they require,
the same coddiing. This fact isl
forcibly brought to mind by the
dispatches which recount the con-
ditions of rolling stock, which, to
the lay mind. appears impervious
to the inroad of time and whose
titanic proportions would suggest
an invulnerable composition. How
ever, it begins to appear that
there is no shorhtage of employees
in the mechanical department and
that there is ample material to
draw from in filing the places of
men who deserted their places.
In this connection it is well to
remember that every western line
has miles of idle locomotives
which may be requisitioned for
service. This surplusage of
power motive is an element that
must be counted upon in an
endurance race now in progress. -

Mr.. WICKBERG JOHNSON

Saturday =. evening Wickberg
johnson, an old resident of Elko
passed away at the county hopi.
tai. He was . native of Sweden
and came to this country in 1878.
In 1888. he came to Elko and has
resided here the most of the time
since. He had been in failing
health for some time and about
two weeks ago he was taken to the
county hospital. The cause of
death was a spinal affection.
Mr.. johnson raised a family in
Elko, but several years ago he
became estranged from his family.
A divorced wife, three daughters
and one son survive him.
There are worse men in the
world than Wick Johnson was, He
was his own worst enemy. Now
that he has passed away let us
not remember his frailties, but the
good that was in him. Before we
criticise him. let us think of these
lines:
"Ah, blame me not if | have
been shipwrecked man;
Thou canst not tell how high
the tide and current ram"
The funeral took place from
the family residence at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon. Rev. George H.
Greenfield. officiating.
The remains were laid away in
the cemetery on the hill. May his
tired spirit find sweet rest in the
land beyond the stars.
