HUMPBACKED MEN IN DEMAND
Af1iction Proved Qualification Where
Strange and Successful Expert
ment Was Tried In Factory.

An unusual advertisement appeared
In a Chicago paper recently, desiring
the services of five humpbacked men.
The explanation of this strange want
Is even more interesting than the an
nouncement, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
1t seems that a large envelope fac
tory, unable to fill its orders, decided
to work nights as well as days. Long
experience had demonstrated that in
the use of certain machines women
were better operators than men by
reason of their hands being more deli
cate and nimble.
The owner does not believe in fac
tory work at night for women, and the
men proved clumsy and slow. 1t was
then he set about to seek men who
were well but physically incapable Of
heavy work. He decided that hump
backs had the necessary qualifications
of more agile and sensitive touch, and
an actual est proved such to be the
fact. Hence the advertisement.

Rubber In India.

In southern India a factory at which
high-grade rubber is made resembles a
dairy, the milklike appearance of the
latex adding to this illusion, as well
as the precautions taken to insure alb
solute cleanliness, says the Family
Herald. One of two methods of manu-
facture is generally adopted. If the
estate is young and only a few trees
are being tapped the rubber is made
in the form of biscuits or sheets. The
latex is put into shallow, round dishes
or oblong pans and a certain quantity
of acetic acid added to it. This is
the cOagulating agent most generally
used. After standing for some hours
the rubber is found floating on the top
of the dish in a white, spougy clot.
This is removed and washed and rolled
by hand and through a mangle until
clean. The biscuits are placed or racks
in a warm room or an artificial dryer
and allowed to remain there until dry.
The finished biscuits are pale amber
colored and transparent, and for this
reason are popular on the market,
for their purity and freedom from dirt
can be judged by holding them to the
light and looking through them.

ACCOUNTS FOR GHOST C0L0Rs
Eye 10 Especially Sensitive to Two
Kinds Of Perceptions, Light and
Color Predominatin0.

In reply to an inquiry why are
ghosts always seer clothed in white, a
scientist states:
This is easily accounted for. AS
there have been no ghosts during his
torical times, we must assume that in
all cases where ghosts have been act
ually seer we have to do with mere
Authorizations caused by fever or some
other disorders of the observer, where,
therefore, the organ of sense, and par
ticularly the eyes, registered impress
sions of objects that had no corre-
spending external existence. Accord
ing to the minute descriptions of such
apparitions given by patients to their
physicians, the ghosts. with rare ex-
ceptions, we're "clad in white" Now.
our eye Is sensitive to two kinds OF
perceptions, viz, light and color. In
this case, where no definite color was
perceived, the hallucination, in which
only the organs of the eye sensitive
to light are affected, is declared to be
white.
Still, there are also cOlOred appari-
lions of ghosts nay, we can Introduce
into the body substances calculated to
impair our sense of color. Thus, the
immoderate use Of hashish produces
violent visions; of alcohol. blue ones ;
Of atropin and skOpolamin, red ones.
Ouinine and too much tobacco like
wise produce red visions, while sail
cylic acid, digitalin and p~henacetin
cause light yellow sensations. The in
halation of carbonic oxide, and snake
bite, too, are said to be followed by
light yellow sensations Of sight.

Held For Murder

Justice C. T. Lawrence of Man
haitian has held Henry F. Kruger
to answer on a charge of murder.
Kruger is suspected of the murder
of John McWilliams, a Round
Mountain mining man who on Feb.
4 was found dead on his mining
claim near Shoshone. Kruger has
q 15-year-old son who is supposed
tc know a great deal concerning
the movements of his father on the
day the murder was committed.
The boy refuses to discuss the sub
ject and is being detained at Tono-
pah. At the time McWilliams was
killed he is supposed to have had
on his person between $1,400 and
$500, but although a thorough
search has been made, no trace of
the money has been found.

NOTHING WASTED BY CHINESE
Flowery kinodom's Farmers Even vi.
lie the Prolific Weeds for Fer.
tilizer and Fuel.

Nothing goes to waste on the Chi
nese farm-not even the weeds. Ac-
cording to the farmers ideas, there
are good weeds and bad weeds, states
q writer. The good weeds are put
into compost heaps and return fertili-
zation to the soil. The coarse weeds
with woody stems which will not cas-
lily rot are cut down and allowed to
dry until the son of the family has
time to rake them up for use as winter
fuel.
Nowhere as in China do the dead
rob the living. Millions Of graves are
scattered over the fields, their loca-
ton directed by the complicated rules
of feng shut. In some sections of the
country more than one-sixth of the til
liable area is covered with graves of
estimable but now useless ancestors,
and sometimes when a young man
falls heir to a farm he finds that 1t Is
a farm full of graves, and his biggest
crop is a crop of duty to dead and
half-forgotten ancestors.
Chinese women didn't wait for the
outbreak of war to put on trousers
and volunteer for work in the fields.
They have been wearing trousers for
many centuries and for many more
they have been helping the beans and
potatoes to do their bit for their
country. The Chinese sages have had
a great deal to say about the Inferior

German Silver.

German silver is manufactured in
three general ways, according to Pop
ular Science Monthly. 1t is composed
of nickel, copper and zinc in varying
proportions. The German method Is
to melt all the copper to be used in
the mixture, and two-thirds of the
nickel alol zinc in a graphite crucible
and then add the rest of the nickel
and zinc. In the English method the
copper, nickel and zinc are melted
all at one time, then more copper and
zinc are added. Should the metal APP
pear porous, a fireclay pipe contain
ing pitch is pushed into the metal mix
ture to deexidize it. There are sew
eral American methods. One is to melt
a copper-nickel alloy and then grad
ually add the preheated zinc. In an
other method monel metal Is used as
q base.

GOOD RESULTS in Deep WORK6

Further news of Importance

today, where the east cross-cut on
the $500 level has picked up the
vein at a point 100 feet north OF
the $500 level raise, and the same

as on the levels above. Superin-
tendent symmes states that the ore
is also very strong in the floor OF
the $500 level at this point, which
is a most encouraging feature OF
the situation in the mine.
The picking up of the vein at
this %northerly point on the zooo

here. At the time the Booth apex
surveys were made several experts
OF international reputation were
here and all were interviewed on
this subject. Without exception
they expressed the belief that pay
ore would be found at depth and
that the future of the district de-
pended in large measure upon the
prosecution of deep mining.
1t was held by these men, and
their opinion is shared today ny
mine managers and engineers here.
that while deep development may
not result in exposing bonanza ore
of the character found in the Red
Hill Florence and in earlier oper-
ations of the Consolidated, Flor
ence, Jumbo Extension and other
rich mines, it is likely that the
ore will be of a grade that here
tofore has been classed here as
medium quality, but that it will be
found in such volume as to permit
of cheap extraction and large-scale
treatment, giving a new impetus to
deep mining here.
The work now in progress at this
point in the Atlanta mine is the
deepest yet undertaken in southern
Nevada and for this reason, as we'll
as because of the character of the
big ore-channel on the 175O-foot
level, the outcome is being watch
ed with the most intense interest
by mining men here and elsewhere.
IL this work meets with the degree
of success confidently predicted, 1t
will afford the greatest stimulus of
recent years to development work
i'm the Goldfield district and will
at once prove the soundness OF
theories held by Manager Darcy
and other authorities on the geo.
logy of the district.
1t is the plan of the management
to continue the cross-cut through
the big vein, which is about 20
feet wide at the 1850 level, and to
then explore the vein by means of
raises and drifts, wherever there
is promise of opening o%rebodies.
A raise will be driven on the hang
ing wall side of the big vein to
connect with the 1750-foot Level,
in order to provide the best of VEN
tilation and to explore the hang
ing wall, where ore of excellent
grade has been exposed on the
175O-foot level.
