POISONOUS GASES
FOLLOW EARTHQUAKE

The night of the earthquake about
dozen men and one woman employ
ed at the salt marsh near Salt Wells
had a strange experience. according
to c. w. Kinney. who was there at
the time. Following the heavy shock
there WAS strong odor OF sulphurio
gas, evidently emanating from the hof
springs nearby II was so strong In
the house that the people We're forced
TO seek fresh air In the open.
similar experience il reported in
Elko county. A slide occurred near
ranch house following the quake.
and the man and his wife and the
hired man went out TO see IT, The
husband was cautious, but the other
two ventured so near that they were
overcome by the gas and rendered un-
conscious. The husband. however. was
able TO assist them to a safe distance.

KUoWATT FORMULA

Here is what kilowatt is and the
formula for computing ii:
First. multiply the current by the
conscience of the proprietor of the
electric light plant: divide this by the
meter on the wall and add whatever
you can't multiply. The answer will
come In dollars and cents Just di-
vide these by the price you pay per
kilowatt and multiply again to find
out what a kilowatt is. 1t is some-
thing you can feel but can't see;
something that you pay for according
TO what some one tells you who does
not know what he is talking about.
and he proves IL by the meter that
runs by guess and by thunder and is
attached to wall by a hired man
with machine grease on his nose. You
know just how many kilowatts you
have had, just what they cost you
apiece, but you don't know what they
are, what they look like, who made
them or what shape they are.-St
Louis Post-Dispatch.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE HERE
LAST WEEK IN OCTOBER

Deputy Superintendent Geo e. Nc

Winnemueca October 26th 10 29th in
elusive.
A splendid program has been pre-
pared, as may be seen from the fol-
lowing list OF Instructors President
A. w. Hendrick, University of Neva-
da; DIR. Geo. Francis James, dean de-
partment of education; Prof Chas A.
Norcross. director Smith-Lever fund /:

as well as principals and teachers.
These Institutes are held alternate
ly In Fallon, Lovelock and Winnie

Killing an Exact Science.

Said a man who knows mechanics
as an open book: The acme of pre-
ciseness and the perfection OF all
mechanism known to the human race
is devoted to the art of killing men"
He was talking to me about the ex-
treme exactness of range-f1nders for
big guns-of which he has been asked
to construct 100. Il know of no other
thing in the wide domain of mechan-
ics.' said he, /" that is worked out
with so great care as these range
finders
He told me that with that instru-
ment II is possible TO plant shot
within one yard of the desired target
ten miles away. When / remarked
that that required unusual delicacy.
this scientist replied: No, not deli
cate. because one OF these finders
weighs one hundred pounds. but they
must be mechanically exact ana per
feet.
One might almost be tempted TO
say that killing men in war has be-
come an exact science.-Philadelphia
Ledger.

NO EARTHQUAKES
SOON, SAYS JONES

The party that went out to Kenne-
dy Saturday morning. to investigate
the cause of the earthquake. returned
Sunday afternoon, In time for Pro-
fessors Jones and Boardman to take
No. l9 for Reno. In speaking of the
visit, Attorney l.. G.. Campbell says.
From our examination we found
no evidence Of the great fault or slil
being the reopening of an old one
the conclusion being that the sliL
which caused the earthquakes was q
new one. However. there were indi-
cations Of old faulting above the new
break, the old fault searp showing
quite plainly
Professor Jones, speaking of the
probability of other earthquakes. with
this section as the center of disturb
anee, gave II as his opinion that there
Is no danger and that II will prob
ably be years before another similar
drop VIII occur on this fault plane
like those of the afternoon and night
OF October End He said that for two
or three weeks. however. light lars
would probably occur. the result OF
the settling of the great mass of seq
ments. which have to adjust them
selves after the great movement
which occurred. To this settling is
due the light shocks which have oe-
CURED since the big one eight days
ago
II Is probable that Professor Jones
Awlli come 10 Winnemucca at an early
date and deliver q public lecture OF,
earthquakes, when no will fully and
plainly explain what caused the great
shake-up Of October End. which he
said was great enough Ia violence To
be felt in New York CITY. He also said
that faults of the extent OF the new
one al Mount Tobin usually are about
five miles in depth

Mining
STATION FOR RENO

The Bureau of Mines has made re-
terror Lane for a federal mining sta
ton at Reno. Nevada. The law of the
last Congress authorized the estab-
lishment of three additional mine ex-
pertinent stations. and also for three
additional rescue cars 1t Is deter
mined that Reno shall have either a
rescue car or the experiment station.
and probably 1t will be a station. but
Secretary Lane will have the say as
to that
The object of the mine experiment
stations Is to conduct scientific In
quiries into mining. very likely what
the agricultural experiment stations
do for farming. The idea of DIR.
Holmes, the late director of the Bu-
reau of Mines. was that this work
should be on a cooperative basis with
states
After Secretary Lane decides where
the stations shall be located, Congress
must appropriate the money. 1t re-
quires about 5000 for the mainte-
nance of a mine experiment station In
cooperation with a state.
The Bureau of Mines expects in the
course of a few months an exhaustive
report from Charles Janney at San
Francisco about the possibilities Of
reviving placer mining
Janney. an expert. has been going
into the subject thoroughly In Alaska
and other placer mining regions.

LESS RIGOROUS TREATMENT
FOR REFORM SCHOOL BOYS

Governor Boyle was seen this after
noon by an Appeal representative on
his return from trip to Elko, at
which place a meeting of the board of
commissioners of the Nevada Indus
trial School was held yesterday and a
full investigation of the conditions of
the school was entered into. 1t was
found that Superintendent Kyle had
complied with instructions sent him
by the governor. which urged him to
reduce expenses to the lowest mini
mum.
The governor found that he had a
superintendent. boys manager and
disciplinarian, cook and teacher on
the pay roll. The board turned down
the proposition of putting cells in the
school, but instructed the superintend-
ent to put heavy wire scr cen on all
the basement windows that furnished
easy avenues of escape. 1t was also
found that the discipline of the school
considered in the light of the func-
tions of a reform school. was too Sc
we're and the superintendent was given
discretionary power TO relax the same
and give the boys more recreation and
less work. The boys were not treated
nearly as well as the convicts at the
state prison here in Carson. All their
time was occupied in work from a.
m. until p. M. with an hour for
meals and two hours in the evening
in the recreation room. This will be
changed.
The two boys remaining in the
school were brought in before the
board and stated that they were well
treated and satisfied with the school.
The governor also said that one of the
inmates by the name of Clingman had
caused most of the trouble and was an
old offender. and instead of being g
years of age. as he stated. he was 23.
The result of the investigation
should prove beneficial and better
things are hoped for in the manage
ment of the school in the future
Carson Appeal.

TONS OF METAL FOUND
UNDER OLD FURNACE

On the site OF the first silver-lead
smelter of the United Stats, near
Oreana, which smelted the ores of the
old Arabia district in the Trinity
range in 1863, several tons of metal
believed TO have seeped from the old
furnaces was recently dug from be-
meath the foundations of the old
building.
Considerable excitement was at first
caused as the discoverers reported
their find was pure silver. With the
assay returns il was found that the
metal was merely lead-antimony.
with a very small percentage of sive,
and valued at about $50 ton.-Re-

Brains and Colds.

II is believed that by the discovery of
causes of catching cold" which has
just been made by DR. c. M Richter.
IL has been determined that the quick.
witted and those who use their brains
a good deal catch cold much more
easily than those who do little BRAIN
work and are mentally slow Wher-
ever a case was found of someone
who was extremely susceptible TO in
fiuenza or even simple cold. either
that person was engaged in some pro-
fessional work, or there was consider.
able tax upon him in factory or in of
fee, or else his work required some
especially keen exercise of the mind.
The mentally heavy, slow-going kind
OF person very rarely has a cold. In
working out this problem 1t was
found that resistance to cold is not
so much a matter of what one wears
as of what one is. 1t is those people
who suffer most keenly when II is
very cold or very hot, who have a
headache when they face high wind,
whose hair crackles with electricity
when they comb tin a word, II is
those who are nervous and highly or
ganized who most readily fall victims
to the insidious colds in the head"

IMPROVED BY MORE SLEEP
london Schoolchildren Recently Made
the Subject Of Some Interest
Ing Experiments.

There are some interesting conclu-
sions in the first report of the re-
Gently appointed official psychologist
to the London county council-a post
which is, believe, unique in this
country. Mr. Cyril Burt's chief work
is In applying tests to backward chill
dren in the schools to ascertain wheth-
er or not they are suitable for tuition
In the special classes for the mentally
defective Mr.. Burt has examined over
1000 children-400 subnormal chill
dren, 200 certified mental detectives
and about 1,400 normal children. The
great majority of the 400 children who
were presented by the teachers on the
ground OF mental insufficiency were
found to suffer from mere dullness,
backwardness or special and limited
defects rather than from mental de-.
ficiency. Only "a passed the medical
examination for admission to a men,

is that there is no one definite or con-

ried out an interesting investigation
to show the influence of loss of sleep
children were divided into two groups.
One group were allowed to sleep for
two hours daily in school, the other
group worked in the ordinary way. 1t
was found that among the children
who were allowed to sleep those
who suffered most from lack of sleep
at home gained greatly in general abil-
ity. In the worst cases the gain more
than made up for the loss of time.
Experiments of the same kind are
going on, which Mr.. Burt says may
show that lack OF sleep may be as
damaging to school work as lack OF
