PERIOD or P0G0NIP
BREAKS PAST RECORDS

The pogonip which has hung
over Tonopah during the past
ten days has covered a longer
period than was ever known in
the history Of the camp, PogonlP
is the Indian name for fog and
is considered bad omen among
the Piutes. In former years the
belief was general that much
sickness would prevail and that
this sickness would develop into
consumption, thus bringing an
early death to the afflicted. 1t
is stated by autoists that on
several occasions during the
night while travelling between To-
nopah and Goldfield that the
pogonip has been so dense that
it has been impossible to follow
the road. Just how long the
atmospheric conditions will con
tinuc is matter of conjecture.

FINE Showing
REPORTED FROM
SILVER KING
CrOssCut From Lower Tunnel Is
Mineralized Formation 40
Feet from Vein

Solid rock has replaced the
loose, caying formation in the
lower tunnel at the Homestake
mine Of the Silver King Divide
and better progress is being
made. Gust Hanson, mine man
ager, was at the seat of opera
tions from TonOpah last week to
inspect the work and says sec
ond drift will be put on and the
crosscut, which is in mineralized
andesite, should reach the hang
ing wall vein in about 40 feet.
There is a good showing Of
shipping ore in the workings
reached through the upper tun-
mel, which the company expects
to find in the crosScut that is
being driven at a point oppo-
site the showing above Slopes
of goodly size on and above
the No. 2 tunnel level indicate
that an ore body of five to 10
feet in width was mined and four
feet of ore is exposed in a Wine
sunk about 80 feet on an incline
below the adit. Hanson expects
the crosscut to reach the ore
body in about two weeks. 1t
will open 140 feet of stopping
ground if the ore extends to
this depth
A new boarding house and
bunkhouse have been built a
short distance below the tunnel
and a road constructed which
gives an easier grade to the
new camp, which will be used
as an ore road.

NELSON NOT WANTED
BY OFFICERS HERE

Nye county officials do not
want D. W. Nelson who is held
in the White Pine county jail,
according to Sheriff W. H.
Thomas. Nelson was the mon
who reported to the sheriff's of
flee late in October that o. c.
jacobson, with whom he had
been travelling from Bakersfield,
had left his car near Warm
Springs and probably was wan
dering about the desert. Inves-
tigatiOn at that time convinced
Sheriff Thomas that Nelson had
nothing to do with the disap-
pearance Of jacobson, who was
later seen riding on a truck to-
wards Ely. However, the coun-
try was searched for a radius of
80 miles from the point where
jacobson left his ear and not a
trace of the man could be found.
Later Nelson left TOnopah for
McGill where he has. since re-
sided. His arrest by Sheriff
Nicholson was caused as a result
of his peculiar action, and yes
terday Sheriff Thomas was mott
fled that the man was in jail
at Ely and he was awaiting in
structions. Sheriff Thomas an.
Swered that Nelson could in nc
way be connected with the dis
appearance of jacobson and that
he WAS not wanted here.

securities are prohibited, was
predicted by H. C. Mckenzie tax
alton director of the American
Farm Bureau federation, in an
address before the annual con

The dwindling revenue from

TO errors in the 1921 tax law,

Guard Your Smoke

0NE Of the saddest things about smokers
~ is that they will scatter their ashes
about. The untidiness might be forgiven.
but the danger Of fire.is more serious.
Hence the vaiue OF, an FASH protector
invented by a New Yorker, Richard A.
Hoffman,. 1t. is a small cylindrical frame
Of aluminium, of skeleton form, thai fits
over the end of the cigar or cigarette, being
held lightly but firmly in place by3,a wire
spring. The frame holds a little sheet OF
transparent film, likewise cylindrical. which
enables the smoker to take a look now and
then at the end of his cigar or cigarette, to
see if it is burning properly. At the front
end of the contrivance is a hole to admit air.
When the ash falls OF the end Of the cigar
cite or cigar it drops inside Of the cylinder.
The front end Of the cylinder carries a
thin steel blade. which may be, used as n
cutter to chop off the ash. When the cigar
or cigarette has burned an inch or SO. the
device may be shifted back toward the butt
end by spinching a pair Of wire loops that
control the spring.

A Machine to
Hang Paper

A MONG the wanted" inventions has
"A Tong been numbered an efficient wall
p%apering machine. Stanly Pytlak,. of Nc
Mechen, w. Va, claims to have produced
it. A metal cylinder holds the roll of paper,
one end of it being removable to permit in
sertion of the roll. Through the cylinder
and supported by the heads of the latter
runs a rod, which is passed .l%engthwise
through the roll as a preliminary. At one
end of the rod is a square socket, adapted
to receive the squared end of a crank handle.
When the crank handle is turned the sheet
OF wall paper energies through a slot that
runs lengthwise of the cylinder and is pressed
against a rotary brush carrying paste, the
paste being automatically supplied from a
small tank. An auxiliary rotary brush,
which is dry, presses the paper upon the
wall, and metal runners bear upon the
wall in advance of the paper. The machine
is light in weight and the operator moves
it downward along the wall by hand, slowly
turning the crank, which, while delivering
the paper sheet, causes the brushes to re-

Foot Defects

THE Board of Health of New York City
has recently made a special study Of the
feet of the children in one of the public
schools with a vitw to obtaining some idea
of the prevalence of pedal defects among
young boys and girls.
y The examinations, made by orthopedic
surgeons, appeared to show that such dc.
fects are much commoncr than has been
supposed. The number of children examined
was 356. Seven per cent of the boys and
6 per cent Of the girls were found to have
deformed toes. Six per cent of the boys
and Ii per cent Of the girls had Fiat FOOT
Forty seven per cent of the boys and "a
per cent of the girls had weak feet Ten
per cent of the boys and II per cent of the
girls had ingrowing t~oenails. The feet Of
80 per cent of the boys and 20 per cent of
the girls revealed corns or other excres-
cences. Twenty one per cent of the boys
and 2 per cent of the girls walked with
their toes turned in.
Most of these troubles were of d character
admitting of correction and cure, with
proper treatment. If neglected, said the
surgeons, some of them might cripple and
impair the efficiency Of the children affected.
The surgeons recommended that all grow.
ing children be examined for such defects
and that those affected be watched and
treated, in order that later in life they mag
be foot sound ~

Feather Paintings

"A WOMAN, Ida Helen Jarvis, of Brook
A line, Mass, has hit upon the novel idea
of painting landscapes with feathers. For
a background she uses a cardboard mat, upon
which the sky may be represented by actual
painting with water c%olors. Apart from this
the picture is made wholly with bird feath-
ers, which are glued on or stitched together
in such fashion as to depict any desired
scene in nature-as, for example, a water
fall, rocks lin the stream, trees along the
watercourse, plant underground, etc.
To represent a waterfall the. inventor
takes a length of feather and splits the
shaft for the crest of the fall, allowing the
barbs to spread in a flowing manner in
imitation of the falling water. Rocks placed
at suitable intervals are pictured by smaller
feathers sand wherever the water encounters
the rocks the foam is represented by down.
Trees and underground are represented by
using feathers Of various sizes, shapes and
colors, and the ground, whereverit appears,
is similarly indicated. The inventor says
that by employing rather gaudy colors for
the foliage, etc., along the waterfall, with
white feathers and down for the falling
water, ''a very pleasing and artistic effect
is produced and one which at a little dis
lance cannot easily be distinguished from
an elaborate oil painting"
The feather landscape, when finished, is
framed, with a glass to hold the feathers
securely against the mat, though not SO
tightly as to f1atten them, the result being
much more lifelike if the barbs and bar
bules of the feathers are allowed to flow in
a graceful manner.

An albino skunk

universe; Bellatrix, in the constellation OF
Orion; Mira, in the constellation of the
Whale, and the huge sun known to astrono-
mers as Alpha, in the constellation of the
Bull.
The super-stars are bright red stars.
They are red because they are young; i. e.,
in an early stage of their development.
They are masses of burning gas so diffuse
as to have little weight, it is supposed, in
proportion to their vast bulk. Presumably
our own sun went through such a stage
, countless ages ago.
The work of measuring the giant stars
is to 60 on at the Mount Wilson observa-
tory. Professor Nicholson went out there
to start it.
The interfcrometer is an instrument for
measuring exceedingly minute angles. Take
the case of An,arcs. Despite it's enormous
size, its diameter as viewed from the earth
subtends an engie almost lnconceivably
small, because OF its great distance from us.
But we know the approximate distance of
that star, and when we have found out the
angle it's diameter subtends it will be easy
to calculate the length of that diameter, or,
in other words, to determine the size of
Antares.
How is it possible to determine the dis
lance Of a stal? That is a question easily
answered.
Suppose that today, with a telescope, the
exact direction of Beilatrix Qet us say,
as seen from thu: Mount Wilson observatory,
be determined. Then, six months from now,
let the direction of that star be again ex-
actly determined. In those six months the
earth will have Travelled to an opposite point
of it's track around the sun. The distance
between the two opposite points furnishes
a base line. The two lines represented by
the two directions (six months apart) form
an angle erected upon the base line. The
distance from the apex of the angle to the
base line (readi!y calculated) is the distance
of Bellatrix from the earth.
The Government Bureau of Standards has
newly finished some observations at Flag
staff. Ariz.. where, at the Lowell Observa-
