HARRY HAD :\'J'MILHTY PULL il Bat the Jugs Bvidevdl" Wera Equal to the Ocsasion. —t DISCOVERY OF ANCENT CORKSCREWS Ry Muge Implements Hoggestive of Ex- hilaration and Engryation Found In Nebraska—~A Collgption of Con- siderable Seientitio Value. Among the arrivals at San Francisco from Lineoln, Neb., n day or two ago was Prof. T. H. '\lt\rvlhnul of the Ne- braska State university, who had just comploted two remarkable scientific ex- peditions in quest of rare fossils, One was to Pine Ridge, the famous scene of the recent Sioux Indian outbreak, where he and others discovered myriads of astrangely curious fossil, callea by them devil's corkscrews. The other was to Phillips county, Kansas, where Prof. Marslund discovered a wealth of rhinoceros, clephant and mastodon re- mains, of whose existence nobody hith- orto dreamed. The professor, who is a young man and full of the enthusiasm of the discov- erer, was seen by a San Francisco Chronicle reporter. He was deeply bronzed by the prairie breezesand burn- ing sun. He said he had come to Cali- fornia to study marine fossils for the Nebraska university, which is very en- terprising in sending out expeditions, and would act as instructor in science at the Reed school. It wus a singular story that he told in roference to the finding of the phenome- nal devil's corkscrews, about wh most of the interest of the expeditions is hinged. The corkserews are as much as eight feet long, actual corkscrews in shape, and are often eight inches through, Ho estimates that there are 400 square miles of them, yet strange to say, not- withstanding the vast number of scien- tific expeditions hitherto, none of vthem have been discovered before. The cork- screws are silicate, and they are found in a gilicious sandstone. In many places they stick through the sandrock of the hills, the stone being worn off by the elements and the silicate spiral being harder, has remained. It is no trouble, the professor says, to strip the sand away from them. = It is rather soft, and the men can work fast. Some of the strange silicate spirals aro coiled about a central spirve, like a grapevine about a tree. Then at the bottom or root of the spire are curious protuberances each way, and rising toward the surfuce of the ground at something like thirtysone degrces. They are often quito as long as the corkserew spiral. Prof. Marsland has a very valu- able_ collection of photographs of the fossils, taken by himself on the grouad. he expedition to Pine Ridge and other regions of the 400 squave miles where the corkscrews wero found, and which Prof. Marsland accompanied, was in charge of Bi“H. Barbour, pro: fossor of geology in“the Nebraska un versity. The other expedition Prof. Marsland - commandéd himself. They Were both known as Morrill expeditions, a wealthy man of théname of Morrill having furnished the means for them. The formations in both instances are tertiary, the latter either miocene or nlu:c\-nu “Thedo devil’s corkicrews whioh stick out over Pine Ridge and bordér on the Bad Lands,” said Prof. Marsland, “are most singular things. Nobody krmows what ley are or how they were made. ‘When Prof. Barbour found the first one he sent a minute description of it to one of the most eminent scientists of Yale. The Yale scientist thought it was purely accidental, that it did not amount to much and that no more would be found. Strangely enough, too, the people we met on' the Cheyenne river and in various parts of the 400 square miles saia we would never find any more. They had never seen any, s0 they said. Yet as wo hunted we found myriads sticking out very thickly in places over this stupendous area. **As first it was thought by some that the spirals were caused by some sort of a burrowing, the theory being that some animal had burrowed, rabbit-like, and that the hole had filled with silicious sand and hardened. But this theory wouldn't do, becauso it appeared that whatever the spirals were they were of marine formation, and whether animal or vegetavle, had grown under the sea. ““From all we could gather we are in- clined to believe the devil's corkscrews are a curious form of the sponge, yet even that is by no means certain. If they are sponges they would, under_the spectrum, show ceriain specks which mark the sponge, and once Prof. Bar- bour thought he did see one or two, but RH[LWHY TIME GARD ‘x CHIGAGO, BURLINGTON & Q.| Arrivos Depot 10th and Mason Sts. iciuzo FXpross. 0 & Towa Loca Caivis [ BURCINGTON & MO RIVER. | Depot 10th anid Mason Sts, Deadwood Express. ..

Other re- markable things were what we found im- bedded in them and forming a part. Once we found the skeloton of a little animal like a rat, and at another time we found the skeleton of a snake.” The corksorow region extends from the Niobrara river to Pine Ridge and almost to the Hat Creek basin. The corkscrews are almost as true as if made by a lathe, and are right-handed and loft-handed indiseriminately. The great transverse pieces, called rhizomes or un- derground stems, project in all direc- tions out of the banks and bluffs like logs. Some are as large as ordinary barrels, others as large as hogsheads. When half disclosed in the bluffs they look like large sawlogs. Pof. Marsland is lost in the problem as to what the colossal corkscrows are. " he said, “that these great ‘twisters,’ instead of being snonges grow- ing from below upwards, are roots, bor- ing their way from above downward, and becoming so complotely modifiod a8 to lose their ulnn!n.\‘ as roots?” A singular thing was found by the use of the plumb line. A corkscrow over eight feet efght inches long was tested by the line, and it was found that from top to bottom the whirls of the screw va- ried but one-eighth of aninch in the case of one coil, in othersstill less. Generally speaking, the corkscrews are of marvel- ous perfection, and thoy are so great as regards sizo as to utterly dwarf a man standing beside them. The family and fin spocies are all new,” said Prof. Marsland. ‘“The fam- ily name bestowed is daimonelicidme, which is very appropriate, and the genns daimonelix, Nothing like the devil's corkserew has ever before been known. It is not only new to science, but strange and puzziing almost beyond belief. All we know is that it is some singular form of animal or vegetable lifo now extinet, “Besides the bare existence of the giant corkscrew is tho extraordinary fact that they never attracted the atten- tion of any scientist till this expedition camo in with specimens. “*We have brought in a large number and placed them in the museum of the university. I think thoy are destined to attract immense attention. What will be finally concluded in regard to them is hard to tell.” Prof. Marsland brought with him from Phillips county, Kansas,several fine specimens of elephants’ tusks, which he now has at Belmont. His theory is from the large deposits found in the tertiary formation there, that not only a few, but vast herds of elephants swarmed over that section of country in ages past. It was then very hot there, with an immenso_tropical growth. The speci- mens he has with him are remarkably perfect. S THE THING BE HANGED. A Bit of Decorative Life Common Among Householders. The man who is keeping house, on however small a scale, finds a great many pleasant little chores to do which keop him oceupied in the evenings, and which give a great zest to life. Perhaps the most exhilarating of these is the task of hanging a picture. In the course of human events it frequently becomes necessary to hang the hanged old pictures which disfigure the house. A gentleman friend of the Wash- ington News attempted to accom- plish this feat last evening. Ho wheeled the refrigerator into the front room, where the picture was to be put up, and then he stationed himself upon it and tried to drive a nail into the wall, The nail wouldn’t go in more than half an inch, on account of a brick, and while he was fussing away the refrigerator rolled from under him and he fell all over the room, hitting every separate InoLu of furniture a clip with his head before he finally subsided in a corner, with his brow jammed under a bookcase. Then he got up and said some frightful things, and his wife told him tolet the old picture go: she could hire a man, sho said, who would put it up for 10 cents, and not disgrace the entire neighbor- hood; but he replied that he would hang that thundering picture or break his back trying, and if she didn't like it she could go around and stay at the police station until he got through. So he got the refrigerator in position again, and finally succeeded in driving in the nail; then he had the picture handed up, and he was just putting it in place when tne refrigerator tcok another trip and he sat down by the wall with painful energy, the chromo around his neck, his hair full of broken glass, and three yards of plaster down his back. He was just going to explain what he thought about the circus when twelve neighbors came in a body, and said that if he didn't leave that locality they would; that thoy were patient and long- suffering, but they drew the line at liv- ing near a boiler foundry, and a good deal more to the same effect. And he said—but you wouldn't read it if it were printed. e In view of what Hood’s Sarsaparilla ha done for others, is it not reasonable to be ieve that 1t will also be of benefit to you. B Hends to the Norch, The old time superstitious belief that human beings should sleep with their heads toward the north is now believed to be based upon a scientitic principle. Some French savants have made ex- periments upon the body of a eriminai who had suffered death, and these tests go to prove that cach human body is in itself an elect battery, one electrode being represented by the head and the other by the feet. The body of the sub- ject upon which the queer experiments mentioned above were made was taken immediately after death and placed upon a pivotal board, free to move in any di- ection, After sowe little vaccilation the head portion turned toward tHe north and then remained stationary. One of the experimenters took hold of the pivot and turned it s0 that the head pointed-south, but upon being freed it almost immediately resumed the first named position—turned until the head pointed north, To prove that this was neither accident or coincident upon mus- cular twitching, as some had suggested the board was repeatedly turned hal around and then freed, but always with similar results, - Ciste Amoug Nhiners, The idea of caste and class extend even to the bootblacking fraternity This is illustrated by a recent oceur rence in Bond street, says the New York Herald. An Ivish shoe polisher has a stand in front of Delmonico’s old restaurant. Not long since he eatered a broker's office to render professional services. In his absence a dandy young negro seated him- self in the chair and awaited his return When the bootblack again appeared on the scene he was horritied. As he approached his stand the negro said, “Shine ‘em up, please, and be quick about it."” “NotifI know myself,” replied the bootblack with an oath* “Get out of that chair,” he continued. “It's bad enough for me to be shining boots all me life, but I've got this to say, I never shined shoes but for one of my own color,” - No Anti-Pyrine in Bromo-Seltzer.

A disgusted-looking commeroial trav- eler sat in a chair on the Southern hotel sidewalk and told his taleof woe to Globe-Demoerat reportor. ‘I have al- ways,” said he, “had a liking for gold coin, and am nover happy unless [ have in my pocket one or more bright golden eagles, but hereafter 1 will be content with one for a pocknt pies During a recent trip through this section of the country, whenever I saw a gold $20 piece in the hands of & merchant, I would ask him to let me have it for currency. In this way I had accumulated ton of the shiners. A sudden demand for some money from my household sent me into a bank today to purchuse a sight draft, and, desiving to send $100, T handed out five of my eagles, as the weight of the ten was boginning to annoy me. TNe clerk with whom I transacted my busi- ness put the coins into asortof a slot machine, and, to my surprise, they all camo outto one side, and the clork, looking at me keenly and in what I knew to bo @ suspicious manner, said: ‘My friend, those coins ure all light.! “YLight? T replied. “““Yes, light. * Wait & minute and I will tell you how much.’ “‘Ho stopped back to a delicato looking scale, noted the dial, did some figuring and then said: *Your $100 in gold is just $8.75 short of being $100. These coins have been sweated.” I expressed my surprise, but it did me no good, and [ gave him the difforence and got my draft, he explaining that he would have to send the coin with an accumulation of others to the subtreasury, where the bank would be paid their bullion value for them.” The reporter, with the commercial man's experience in mind, called at the United States subtreasury in the custom house, and listened” intently to one of the “counts,” as they call all sub- treasury clerks, tell all about the an- cient and modern “‘sweating” of gold coing. “‘Swesating” is a form of fraund that was once 80 common in England that to put astop to it it was declared tobe a capital offense, and many n sharper paid with his life for his desire to gain riches withoutadequate labor for the same “‘Sweating” is the time-honored police term for the filching from a gold or silver ooin a portion of its value, gener- ally 0 small as to escape observation. T'he Jews of London would put 100 golden sovereigns into a leather bag, which would be attached to a wheel for the the purpose of shaking it. The friction of the coins would wear off small particles of gold dust From the 100 sovereigns no more would be worn off than the value y of two of the coins. When the iob was done the coins would be taken out and the leather bag thrown into a fur- nace. The result of the sweating would appear in a little nugget of refined gold. The modern process, which is simplo but profitable, requires some expevtness and a knowledgo of electro plating. A small tank is filled with a solution of cyanide of potash, A coper wire con- nected with an electric battery is so ar- ranged that its two ends are immersed in the solution. To the end which is the positive pole is- attached a small lump of nlnlmum of zine, while to the other end or negative pole is attached a $20 gold piece. The current is turned on. The chomical solution bogins to absorb gold from the coin. When it has taken up all it can hold the surplus of the latter begins to deposit upon the lump of platinum or zine. This process might be continued until all the gold in the coin had gone to the other end of the wire. This the swindlers do not desire. They are careful to remove the coin from its bath before it has been depleted enough to invite suspicion. They rarely take off more than 75 cents worth of goid. Such coins bear no_altered appearance to the inexperionced eye. An expert, how- ever, detects an unnatural smoothness, the chemical bath having smoothed down the sharp lines of the die. This is different from the effect produced by the abrasion incidental to ordinavy wear. The method of the swindlers of London, while slower and more laborious, was loss likely to lead to detection than the Flan pursued in this electric age. The sweated coin by the electric pro- cess is more dangerous, however, than when reduced by the old methods, as the very qualities that reveal its delinquency 10 the expert are calculated to deccive the ordinary person. The sweated coin with its outside coat removed comes out as bright and shiny as if just fresh from the mint. This very brightness excites the distrust of the bank cashier. Comparatively few of these coins reach the subtreasury here. Very few banks have the delicate apparatus made with which to detect this infinitesimal light- ness of coins. You know that when any gold coin comes to our counter it is sub- mitted to the test and the scale shows its lightness il it be but a fraction of a grain: it is indicated by the dial. There is, of course, a very slight allowance made for wear and tear on a coin, but where the shortage is appreciable, I won't say how many conts, but it is very few, the coin is stamped “light” and the person who presents it i3 given its bullion value in eurrency, aftor a pro- cess that 1s more or less irvitating to persons who are averse to red taps, I elt sorry for a gentleman,”said the “count,” *'who came up here one day, actuated by purely patriotic motives, to help the government out in the matter of the shrinkage ef the gold reserve. He had twenty $20 gold pieces hoarded away. He passed them out ontothe counter with a benevolent smile and said: “I understand that Uncle Sam is a little short of gold coin, and as every little helps, you may just take that $400 and give me currency for it. Uncle Sam’s notes are good enough for me,) I took his taoney, putitin the scale, and sixteen of his twenty coins weve light, and I had to stamp them so. 'he patriot fumed aud threatened when I told him his $400 was worth in Uncle Sam's currency just $380.40, but the coins had passed from his hands, the government had condemned them, and he went out a madder, wiser and poorer man, with his faith in gold badly shaken,” s 1 sald, comparatively few of these coins reach us. They are purposely cir- culated in portions of the country far away from Washington and the sub- treasuries of the Unmited States. ‘Sweated’ coins that do not reach the subtreasury experts may vemain in cir- culation. & long time. There is no means of knowing how much of this ‘shaved’ coin is in circulation. Not as much, I should think, as one would sup- pose, owing to the simplicity and cheap- ness of the process, judging, as I do, only from the limited amount that falls into our hands “The materials for the fraud cos vory littlo, and one ordinary. olectrio light wire furnishes the ReovssAry ours rent. “The same process can be applied te silver if the swindler's capital is limited and his desires modest. It wonld oer: tainly be a more discrate and safe fraud than the pestiferous plan of punching a dime's worth of sily out of a dollar and making it valueless. “The groat point with the ‘swoater’ is to cheek his natural desire to be greedy. He must have the patience and modgsty of the Chinamen of the Pacific slope, who, with morvelous ingenuity, split & golden coin, seoop out'n littla' of the _\'(‘.“"W metal. fill the hole with base motal and then stick the two halves of the coin together with such neatness as to defy detection. I have no doubt that in the west, where the bulk of the money in circulation is gold and silver com, tho presence of sweatod coin is quite genoral.” R — AMERICA LEADS, Surpass All Other Nations In Electeloal Advancement. The way in which Americans have a knack of ‘“gotting thero” is well illus- trated in various branches of clectrical engineering. The I ish have earned the reputation of laggards in electrical applications, notwithstanding the dis- tinetion thoy have attained in electries; but what they do may in nearly every case be relied on as well and thoroughly done. Their experience in the trans- mission of lighting currents athigh volt- age has, however, formed an oxception to this rule. When, a fow years ago, Mr. Ferranti boldly stated that he would supply current from the Deptford sta- tion at 10,000 volts his auda- cious scheme was iooked upon by the majority of electricians as quix- otic and impossible. The plant installed for this purpose has not hitherto proved a commercial success, and the normal potential is restricted toH,000 volts, with the possibility of using 10,000 in emer- genei Electrical engineers on this side were not slow to profit by the les- sons taught by the history of the Gros- venor station, and have now achieved the dual distinction of installing the first commercial plant to use 10,000 as the normal potential, and the longest commercial transmission in the world, Such is the plant of the San Antonio Light and Powor company of PPomona, Cal. teen miies north of Pomona, in a picturesque gorge, is an abundant stream of wator which flows rapidly to the river in a comparatively short” dis- tanco. Pomona and San Bernardino, twelve miles furthor away, wanted cheap electric light, and out of the waste water of the San Antonia river Califor- nian nerve and enterpriso hay provided a means of illuminating the streets of those cities. The first operation was the building of a tunnel 1,324 feet long, and then, by constructing 2,010 feet of pipe line,a head of 385 feet was ob- tained. All the vest was simply a matter of suitable machinery, and now the line is in working order and, as has been already stated, transmits current under a pressure of 10,000 volts a dis- tance of twenty-eight miles. Though supplying eurrent for lighting purposes only at present, the company {s about to engage in power transmission and pro- poses soon to extend its line in various directions. A recent test of the systom showed the actual efficiency of the eclec- trical systom to be 73.3 per cent. The total fall of water is givenat 400 feet, which, deducting 1% per cent loss in friction, ete., give an available head of 305 feet. The minimum flow of water per minute is 1,260 cubic feot. After making very llbox'ul estimatoes of losses tho total efficioncy of water power is put at 83.5 per cent; of the electric sys- tom 63 per cent and of the entire system 52.2 per cent. ERE S Machine Beits of Paper. Paper belting for the purpose of trans- mitting power is the next thing which is going to astonish the manufacturing fraternity, says the Boston Commercial Bulletin. The inventor was for five years assistant to the superintendent of power of one of the great factories in Lowell, Mas: It was while in this posi- tion, in which he had much to do with lacing and tightening belts, that he con- ceived the idea that belting made of paper could bo made to do botter work than either leather, rubber or cotton. He argued that, as a thick piece of paste hoard can be made to take on a very firm, smooth and durable surface by holding the same against anothor mov- ing surface for several minutes, thata larger plece of paper made in the form of & belt and permitted to run upon the surface of a pulley day after day would s00n create upon itssurface a firm, hardt shining coating that would last ‘a long time. In making the belts links made from paper pulp are used. As soon as the belt is put into working order a hurd, shin- ing coating appears upon tho surface next the pulleys and this becomes harder as the months slip by, It becomes so hard finally that only the cold chisel can cut into it. Such a surf; works well on the pulleys. e .
