REVOLVING HOUSES

A Partisan inventor has conceived
the idea of having small houses
which will turn on their axes built
in country districts for invalids,
thus furnishing a change of scene
of light and of air. There is, he
thinks no reason why some rooms
should always get sunlight and the
remainder be always damp and I'M
healthy. The idea is not entirely
new. Some years ago a revolving
house was built in Normandy. The
door was constructed of thin boards
which glided over each other as
the house was turned. On one &C.
casion these boards spread out like
an open fan, closing the exit. The
inmate terrified by his experience
had the house pulled down.

FIRST WIRELESS MESSAGE

The first wireless message sent
from ship at sea was dispatched
from the American liner st. Paul
to The Needles Nov. Is, 1899. The
vessel was then sixty-six miles fir rom
the land station.
The wireless was first used in
saving lives early in 1909, when
Jack Binns sent out his memorable
call for help from the stricken
White Star liner Republic, after her
collision with the Florida off Nam
tucket.
Later in the same year help sum-
Lmoned by wireless resulted in the
rescue of $50 people from the
steamer Ohio off the coast of
Alaska. Afer that hardly u month
passed without a demonstration of
the utility of the wireless in the
saving of lives.
The Canadian government steam
err Stanley was warned of the pres
ence of icebergs by message from
the Grenfell station on the Labra-
dor coast, and had been barely
brought to when berg was sight
ed9in the fog.
The Canadian cruiser Niobe,
which went on the rocks of Cape
Sable in 1911 also, summoned help
by wireless.

SHIPPING CHALCEDONY TO
THE MILLS OF TONOPAH

The test run of pebbles of Man
haitian chalcedony at the Belmont
mill in Tonopah is in progress,
with very satisfactory results. The
use of the native rock has been on
no for three weeks at the. same
rate of feed that was employed in
the case of the imported stock,
and no difference can yet be noted
either in the consumption of peb-
hles or in grinding power. More
accurate data will be available
when the mill is opened at the end
of the month.
The West end management has
also made arrangement for partial
or possibly entire use of the Maris
pebbles, putting on 5-ton motor
truck between the chalcedony dixie
and the mill. The consumption of
pebbles at this mill amounts ia
about Is tons a month.
Manhattan mills are finding the
use of the new material Is a great
saving over that of the imported
pebbles. -Tonopah Miner.
