Burning Common Water.

The vbry latest thing in the fuel line Is made of water, “that useful element which tfuipcrs the excess of solar, artificial and tjniuial heat.” The above statement may appear to be “an nil-' probable paradox,” but it is a fact nevertheless, that a gas is now made ot pure water*, and that that same gas is a splendid fuel. The pnQciple of the manufacture of these water gases is Ic pass aqua pura over red-hot- irons, thereby resolving it into the two inflamable substances known as hydrogen and carbonic oxide gas.

MINING WITH FIRE.

Queer Method Employed in theTukon Country in Alaska. J. O. Hestwood, who 4s well knomi In this city, returned from Alaska on the last trip of the Alaska Commercial Company’s steamer, tb San Francisco. Mr. Hestwood has some mining claims bn the upper Yukon, near Forty-Mile City. He left that p6int in the early part of September, and it took him over a month to get home. He came 2,000 miles down the Yukon to St Michaels* on the coast, then down to Unalaska, and from there across to San Francisco. “About 700 people went Into the upper Yukon country last season,” said Mr. Hestwood, “by way of Juneau, making their way over the mountains at Ghilfeat pass, then on the ice over the great lakes for 300 miles; from there they' had to go 400 miles further by boat, when they reached Forty-Mile [City. There lias been a great deal of activity In the mines at FortyMHe. It waa demonstrated last winter that these mines can be worked as profitably in the winter as in summer; in fact, at much less expense. This js done by the use of Are. A hole is sunk uy fire down to the pay streak, the earth being thawed out by the heat. Tbe Gift is then hoisted by windlass and left on ipp of the ground andTs washed out in ttie spring. I opened up quite a rich claim this season on Glacier creek, and have men employed this winter burning. ’ F expect to take in prospecting machinery next spring, wlifeh will enable mo to locate the pny streak in the gulch in a comparatively short time. By using this machinery a hole twenty-five feet deep can be sunk In a day, when eighteen inches a day by burning is a pretty good day’s work.” Speaking of the Alaska boundary dispute Mr. Hestwood “In my opinion, if the United States fail to hold ttheir rightful title to the territory which is in dispute they might as well give up ail claim to Alaska. If this country should have no coast line up there except above the 141st meridian, entrance to the upper Yukon would he Impossible by way of an American port, except during the summer months, because the mouth of the Yukon, which is about sixty miles wide, is filled with ice from Behring sea until late in June. You can easdly see what this would mean—England would absolutely control the trade of that country. It Is universally claimed by experienced miners who have been in Alaska fiat It is one of the greatest gold beat ngcountries in tbe world. There are 5,(»00 miles of waterway in which gold can bo found.”—Seattle Posblntelligeucer.

NAPOLEON AND THE SOLDIER.

The Watei'raelou Didn’t Count, but the Wounds Hid. The memoirs of Gen. Marbot upon ibe flrsl: French empire relate that, on the occasion of a very formal distribution of rewards made by Napoleon before ltatisbon, an old grenadier came forward and demanded, somewhat sharply, to the astonishment of fill, & cross the legion of honor. “But What have you done?" said Napoleon. “Why, sire,” said the soldier, “it was 1 who. In the Desert of Jaffa, when it was terribly hot, and you were parched with thirst, brought you a Watermelon.” “Thank you,” said Napoleon; “but a watermelon for a general is not worth a cross of legion of honor.” The grenadier flew into a violent rage. “Well, then,” he shouted, “I suppose that the seven wounds that I got at Areola and at Lodi and at Austerlitz and at Frledland go for nothing, eh? My eleven campaigns In Italy, in Egypt, in Austria, In Prussia, and in Poland you don't count, I suppose?” “Tut, tut, tut,” exclaimed the Emperor. “How you do get excited when you come to the essential point of the whole matter! 1 make you now a chevalier of the legion of honor for your wounds nnd your campaigns; but don’t tell me any more about your watermelon.”

An Extraordinary Lake.

Bridger lake, in Northern Wyoming, lias a queer characteristic, anil one which cannot be claimed for any other oody of water in America, as 'far ns tve have been Informed. It has this peculiarity: It discharges its waters into both _tlie Pacific ocean and The 3ulf of Mexico., During the average leasons the waters of Bridger lake flow >ut through a snuill river which is a Iributary to the Yellowstone, and tin water thus discharged finally reaches ;he gulf by wvy of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. During rainy seasons the level, of the lake becomes so nigh that the waters empty through another opening also. Tlife waters which are discharged through this second chasm flow Into Snake river, and thence to the Pacific ocean through the Columbia.

Vandals Destroying Wild Game.

The vandals seem determined to destroy the last vestige %f wild game, l’he laws of Oregon nnd Washington were enacted to protect the- nesting ground of wild ducks nnd geese upon the Columbia and tributary waters, but the Spokesman-Review says it is “the last of the goose; its roosting grounds along the Columbia have been Invaded. It is a peculiar fowl and when Its nest is disturbed tlie bird abandons it.” Such vandals should be •'.c-alt wit)i severely; but as a rule they are out of reach of the’law.

Life of Dogs.

Dogs, as a rule, live for about fifteen years, though there have been some instances qf collies living over twenty years.

Paper- Horseshoes.

, A practical invention by a veterinary surgeon Is now successfully applied at Berlin. He manufactures horseshoes of paper iinpregnated with.oil or turpentine to make it waterproof. After. being saturated, It is, glided together in thin layers with a cement winch does not become brittle when drying and consists of a mixture bf Venetian turpentine, powdered linseed oil and lacquer. These horseshoes are made in Various thicknesses. The holes, admitting thenaile by which the shoe is fastened to the hoof, are stamped through the paper when moist; it S is then subjected to a very strong pressure, under a hydraulic prossT'vnd, when dry, can be filed and planed to fit the hoof snugly. The Inventor has already attempted to make these horseshoes of paper pulp, adding chalk, sand, turpentine and linseed oil in such quantities that the material is Impermeable to moisture. This composition possesses the necessary and toughness for the purpose; it can be pressM ifi lliblds and dried afterwards, or cut out of blocks of the mass and placed under strong pressure. The shoes made by pasting together paper sheets are preferable, as they are stronger than those made of the compressed material. These shoes can be fastened to the horse’s hoof either by nails, as usual, or be cemented with glue, consisting of gum of ammonia one part and gutta-percha two parts. -Paper World, ,

Eggs.

The Persians and Romans exchanged eggs at New Year. The Egyptians made the egg a symbol of human renovation after the Deluge. The Ehsts still believe that “luck eggs” have little birds lu them/'The Franks under the Capet dynasty exchanged eggs at the vernal equinox. In Suffolk, eggs laid on Good Friday never become bad, and are a sure preventive of colic. In Germany/eggs laid on Good Friday can extinguish fire, especially if thrown in backward. The Romans made ft a means of divination for ascertaining the sex of creatures still unborn. All Homan repasts were begun with eggs,. Hence the expression of “ab 000,” now signifying the beginning. The Jews made an egg the type of their new life and departure from slavery in Egypt to the better Land of 'Promise. In Westphalia, eggs laid on Maundy Thursday produce birds that change color every year.

He Was Used to It.

A blind man got on % trolley car the other day dnd took a, seat near the door. Soon afterward a drunken man got aboard* When the conduc-toir tried to collect the drunk’s fare he refused to pay, and the conductor undertook to put him off. The drunk was, a big man and full of fight,’’and matters began to be pretty lively. The conductor and the obstreperous passenger wrestled for a few minutes and finally both went dpwn together on top of the blind man. Then several other passengers -went to the conductor's assistance, kicked the drunk off, picked up tne blind man and put him on Rie seat again. “Are you hurt?” asked one, sympathetically. “Oh, no,” replied tbe blind man, “I’m -used to riding on trolley cars, you know. But, Say, don’t you think that jolt was unnecessarily hard? I always expect to be thrown off my feet every time the car stops, if I ajn standing. %iit I never was thrown out of my seat before.” Being blind, he had not realized what had caused his mi3hap and supposed ft was« due merely to the ordinary tumbling about of passengers that the patrons of the Buffalo care have become accustomed to whenever the brake is applied.—Buffalo Express.
