"vIcARIoUs GYMNASTICS"

The opening of the baseball sea-

news that record-breaking crowds
have been in attendance, suggests
that the exercise gained in sitting

head off does not really develop the
muscles. This sort of thing has been
well termed "vicarious gymnastics"

'necked youth, who should be walk

AN EXAMPLE FOR NEVADA

The will of the late Samuel d.
Nicholson, chairman of the national
silver commission, provides for the
erection Of a monument in Denver
to the pioneer miners Of Colorado.
That's not the Nevada way. When
a man who makes a million in this
state dies the public is invited to
build him a monument.
1t remained for the Colorado
millionaire prospector to think of
the humble heroes who blazed the
way through the Rockies and who
made it possible for the building of
a vast railroad system over the
burro trails left by the early adven-
turers who dug into the bowles of
the earth and brought forth the
hidden treasures of precious metals
who are forgotten in the weak
memories of the present generation.
In Colorado it took a pioneer miner
himself to think of them, and re-
member what they did for the Cen
tennial state, think Of them to such
a degree that he could immortalize
them in a memorial monument

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS

What will be the condition of
silver after the death of the Pitt
man act? This is the question that
is confronting practically every min
ing camp in this state. There is
no use lodging the problem; it is
either going to make permanent
conditions or it will shut down some
properties that operate on a narrow
margin.
Silver price to the American pro-
Queer has been on guaranteed
basis, practically a bonus, as the
price per ounce has ranged far
above the foreign market since the
enactment of the Pittman act.
Declarations are made that silver
will maintain a high level by some
who follow the business of mining;
others openly confess doubt as to
the future, even going so far as to
see some of the camps curtailing ex-
penses and probably closing down.
There is so much doubt that many
of the mining promoters are re-
framing from taking over proper
ties pending the adjustment that
will have to come this summer.
1t is well to hold a stiff lip and
say that silver will never be on a
lower ratio, but the fact is that
many of the big producers are hurry
ing work and making record pro-
auctions before the close of the

Science

Many forms Of scientific study and

It is difficult for him TO see anything
practical in the study of an insect or

scientific study has practical results
even from the viewpoint of business.
Science invented the spectroscope.
With this instrument science could
study the stars. The result was the
discovery Of helium gas in the sun.
Twenty five years later it was recog.
nized upon the earth. 1t is now be-
ing taken from the ground In ever
increasing quantities, and it soon will
be one of the necessities OF com
merce. Helium can not be burned
and is, therefore, immensely valuable
for use In airships.
At the time the world war ended a
consignment Of $50. 900 cubic feet Of
helium was ready for shipment from
New York to the front, where it was
to be used for observation balloons
and for airships Of the Zeppelin type.
Helium in airships does away with
the danger of their burning in mid.
