The Situation

THE Appeal believes that there Is
a decidedly wrong impression eNtant
regarding typhoid fever in this city.
1t has been cited and stated and A
general impression given out that
the disease is epidemic at this time IL
Carson.
During a period covering three
months or more. since the hrst case
was reported. there have been but
tour cases all told. two OF these have
recovered and two more, although
the patients are very sick. are dong
remarkably we'll and thus far their
condition are in no way alarming,
1t does not seem that this could
il any way rightfully be termed All
epidemic and everything considered
nothing unusual about it in a city OF
three thousand inhabitants. Ii there
were many more cases at this time,
ii should not be considered an a6-
normal condition, as where three
thousand persons are Congregated IN
one small area there is always bound
to be more or less sickness amongst
them. and we do lot believe that the
present condition is in any way
alarming. although the disease is a
most dreaded one, there is some
cause for it. either in food oil drink
and all precautions should be most
vigorously taken; the cause determine
ed and wherever the contamination
exists it should at once be determine
ed and eradicated by any means nee
essary.
1t is a tact that Carson has been
unusually fortunate i'll the way OF
fevers or other diseases. We have
a few cases occasionally, but the
history OF them has been that they
are almost always of a very light
form, and for tins reason when
a condition out OF the ordinary hap
pens to exist. the residents are prone
to become unnecessarily alarmed.
But the unpleasant fact remain,
that a cause for the present cases en-
lists, ii not determined and eradicated
there may be an epidemic of thi,
dreaded and t~reacherous disease and
it boohoves all to use their efforts to
find the cause and do away with 1t
as soon as possible.

Bumper Crop

\ MILLION dollar crop is report
ed in the Lovelock Valley. in Hum
boldt County, this state. 1t is prob
ably underestimated, as there is pas
turagc to follow the cutting of the
hay and grains. 1t is we'll WORTH,
chrOnicljng.
What is done and is proven in this
wonderful Nevada Valley, can be du-
pllcatcd on a smaller scale in many
places. The great Lovelock Valley
Is one OF the most prolific on earth,
as it is filled with decayed vegetable
matter and the thousands OF years 81
silt accumulation has added to its en-
rlchment.
There is many a valley in Nevada
that could be raising bumper crops
had the money that has drifted from
Nevada been invested in the reclama-
ton of the lands. The trouble with
Nevada has been that she has created
millionaircs than any other
state III proportion to population. but
the men who make the money take it
elsewhere for investment. The result
is idle fields and other sections en-
riched by the bullion from this state.
The matter OF reclamation and
placing land, in bearing. such as
chronicled i'll Lovelock, is not the
poor mans game. \ poor man has
no more bushes with a reclamation
project than he has on the curb OF
New York, The money must be
available to do things. to plant and
develop, to build and to pay for it.
To hire when necessary and to cs-
tablish wells and bring in bis poWer
plant. The earth. responds to his Ell
forts. but he must have the capital
to start and and stay right.
There are thousands of acres OF
land open III Nevada that could be
made to bear bumper crops, but it
must be done by either Government
assistance, or by men who dig the
money from the treasure vaults OF
the state. Nevada has the soil and
the climate; she needs assistance
from the men who take the treasure
and leave the state.

Air Resistance.

The effects Of air resistance are well
shown In the twelve and one-half mile
Simplon tunnel, where an exceptionally
high amount of energy is required for
running the electric trains. The tun-
nel-which is fifteen feet wide and
eighteen high, with a sectional area
OF $50 square feet-has a ventilating
current Of $3.50 cubic feet of air per
second, maintained by two large blast
fans at the Brigue end and two ex-
haust fans at 1selle. B. Kilchenmann,
Swiss engineer, finds that trains going
with this current encounter less re.
sistance than In open air up to fifteen
aud one-half miles an hour, but at
higher speeds or in the opposite direc
tion the resistance is much greater
than outside. Coasting by gravity
down the seven per 1000 maximum
gradient, a train. even though going
with the current, cannot exceed thirty
five miles an hour on account of the
braking by the air.

THE MAXIM SILENCER.

Whirlpool Suggested the Idea Of Nut.
fling Explosive Noises.
In a very interesting contribution to
the American Machinist on the Maxim
silencer q. A. Suverkrop traces this
important invention to the automobile
industry.
MI. Maxim had been working on the
development Of automobile engine muf-
ders for some time before he thought
Of a silencer in connection with a gun,
In addition to this was the inventors
desire to enjoy target practice with
out creating a disturbance. Expert
ments ensued, covering a couple of
years and all kinds Of valves, vents,
bypasses, expansion chambers, etc.,
but without success.
One morning after his bath the in
ventor noticed the small whirlpool over
the drain hole, the action Of which re-
tards the egress Of the water. 1t does
not silence it, as this phenomenon is
usually accompanied by a more or less
pronounced sucking sound. but in a
gun the noise of firing is caused by the
sudden egress of the gases, and If
these could in the same way be SLOW
ed down the noise would in proportion
be decreased. Acting on this sugges-
ton. a little tube was then made, con-
structed so as to induce a whirlpool in
the escaping gases from the gun. This,
when tried, was a success.
In use the silencer has revealed de-
sirable features not anticipated by the
inventor. Not only does 1t mask the
position Of its user when smokeless
cartridges are used, but it has a bene-
acial effect on the nerves Of the men,
endowing them with a sense of secur-
tty so that they will take more time to
aim carefully. Further, the officers or
ders car be readily heard. which is diff.
fcult under ordinary circumstances
with a scattered skirmishing line.
