ers of Goldfeld, is in Tonopah ar
ranging with Manager Chandler of
the West End mill for the treatment
Of a batch of ore from his property

The Chair Of Torture.

The most prominent building in the
ancient city of Nuremberg is the cas-
tie. One Of its two towers was used
for torture; the other served as a prison.
The castle also contained a museum of
horrors until it was purchased by the
Earl Of Shrewsbury and Talbot, in
whose possession these relics now lie
One of these was the chair Of torture
It was very heavily made and studded
over the seat and at the elbows with
blunt topped spikes. To it the victim
was tightly bound, and in short time
discomfort began to manifest itself and
in time became unbearabie During

THE HOUSE OF THREES.
Curious Architecture Of England's
Most Peculiar Buildino,

Curious Architecture Of Enaiand's
Most Peculiar Building.
The most peculiar house in the Unit
ed Kingdom is probably the triangular
one at Rushton, in Northamptonshire.
It's design is supposed to typtfy the
trinity.
This singular building has three sto-
ries, and each story has three win
dows on each of the three sides, while
each of the windows in two of the
three stories Is in the shape of a tre-
foil-the three leaved shamrock. In
each Of the other windows there are
twelve panes, arranged in three tours,
and the panes throughout are TRAN
gular.
Three gables rise on each side and
from the center, where their roofs
meet, three sided chimney surmount.
ed by triangular pyramid terminates
in large trefoil. The smoke issues
from three round holes on each of the
three sides Of the chimney.
Three Latin inscriptions. one on each
side of the house. have each thirty
letters. while over the door there is
another Latin inscription of three
words. the English Of which is. 'There
are three that bear record" and on
each side are the carved figures of
three angels bearing shields.
Inside the house each floor contains
three threshold apartments. The

L0ND0N'S sLUM BABIES.
Gutter Children That Thrive Where
.. They Court Death.

They Court Death.
London gutter babies are immune to
ordinary diseases and thrive under con-
ditions that would be death to other
children, said DR.. Thomas, health Of
ficer of the Finsbury district. DR..
Thomas works in the most congested
of the London boroughs. where 5000
families live and sleep in 5000 rooms.
"Some of these babies" be says. las
boon or even before they are able to
crawl. are placed on the sidewalks
early in the day. to be watched or
nursed by girl of four or five years.
They are true gutter children. Some
times the immature nurse falls asleep.
wearied by her task, and the baby
crawls to the other side of the road,
needless of traffic. Both are filthy
and gutter stained. but they seem to
live. In fact, the stock from which
they have sprung rises superior to the
ordinary diseases of childhood" Among
the cases reported are these:
A baby four months old was given a
piece Of raw fat and bacon to chew.
because the grandmother said bacon
was good for babies and canaries.
One baby was dosed with stout and
aniseed by the mother as a cure for
collie
Another baby of nine weeks was fed
chiefly on weak tea.
DR.. Thomas complains of the Sal
reg Camps, who act as nurses in the
district, undoing the work of the doc
tors in many cases. He says their ar
rogance is equaled only by their ig-
nOrance.-New York Tribune,

FLOATING ISLANDS.
Japan Has Lake Of Them, and They
Sometimes Capsize

!
.... Sometimes Capsize.
In Yamagata, Japan, is small lake
called the Lake Of the Floating Is
lands. discovered about the year 1910.
which has from that time attracted
the attention of many poets and liter
airy men. A report on the mysterious
movements of these islands, drawn up
by party under Professor S. Kusa-
kabe, is published in the science re-
ports of the Tohoku Imperial univer-
sity.
The floating islands. which at times
number no fewer than sixty, are found
to be continually changing their posi-
tons, moving first one way and then
the other. In the first series of Obser-
vations wooden floats were placed in
the lake, showing the distribution of
the various currents. Subsequently
model of the lake was constructed, and
it was found possible closely to repro
duce the various movements of the
surface. When both water and wind
currents were taken into account the
actual behavior of the islands was
found to be quite in accordance with
theory and experiment
The islands originate from masses of
vegetable debris, which are first car
ried to the surface by bubbles of gas;
then reeds commence to grow from
seed on them. Sometimes the mass
becomes topheavy and overturns, and
reeds grow on the other side. until the
island has grown sufficiently large in
extent to secure stability.

"The Importance Of a correct diagnosis,

Hoskins, OF the Minnesota experiment

some other disease, usually means time
and effort wasted, and, if the treated hogs

either a positive or negative diagnosis of
cholera can be made, If there is oppor-
tunity for a post-moffem examination. In
doubtful cases a poet-mortem is always
proper.
"Just as soon as it is noticed that a hog
is sick, it should be separated from the
herd aud kept isolated until the exact ma
ture OF the trouble can be determined.
"Diseases which are most frequently
mistaken for hog cholera are intestinal
