Scientists predict the day wheo tele
vision. or seeing bv radio, will allow a
* person to sit at home and 3ee around
the world. Things that happen about
the earth will be seen the minute they
happen on a screen above the receiving
set. Light will be turned into sound
so that a person can watch tho happen
ings at the antipodes. In place of tho
microphone to pick up sound waves,
another will take the picture and
transform the light waves into Hertzian
waves to be flashed to tho school rooms
throughout the world.
The elephant logger is said to be
more efficient than the donkey engine
and modern machinery in Siam. In
many ways elephants show wonderful
power of thought when placed in cer
tain situations. Especially so in tho
matter of breaking log jams in rivers.
A -trained elephant carefully studies
the cause of the holdup, then deliber
ately proceeds to select the- key log,
4 which he invariably extracts without
assistance. Native lumbermen dislike
the use of machinery because of the
. necessary repairs aod constant oiline.
Motion pictures of projectiles in
flight can be taken at the rate of 25© a
second with a camera developed at. the
bureau of standards. It; has- been
found very useful in studying the effect
of the blast on the flight of projectiles.
This blast is formed by gases in the
gun, wbieh are ejected with great ve
locity after the projectile, and envelop
the projectile during the first few feet

The largest boiler in the world, 28
feet long, 40 feet high, and with a
heating surface of six miles of four
inch steel tubing, has been put in op
eration in a steam-heating plant in
Pittsburgh, Pa. The boiler, designed
to use pulverized fuel, is capable of
evaporating into steam 2,500 tons of
water an hour. It is housed in a build
ing seven stories high, and is so large
that a six-room house could be placed
within it.
A scientist of the Smithsonian insti
tution has devised an electric ther
mometer that will detect a difference
of less than one hundred-millionth of a
degree. This instrument would show
clearly the rise in the temperature of a
room produced by lighting a match in
it. The electric part of the apparatus
is so delicate that a street car going
by miles away may upset its proper
working.
After a study of ten years, Professor
Edward R. Berry, in Ryum Mass., has
discovered a light which is usually
thought of as traveling in straight
lines, which can be made to turn cor

Resembling a button book, a new
twine cutter has been invented with a
blade inside the hook, where it cannot

A Dredging or Hydraulicing
Pronosi tion, Yankee Greek
it
I am the principal owner of a block ot ’ground
on Yankee creek, about seven nines long.'Jextend
jng from No. 1 Be)< w Discovery u ok a to theiinoutk
ofjthe creek
Pay has been located all along for a distanceof
about three miles from’the upper end, and pretty
well prospected anJ.cross-cut.
The average uepth of the ground lis fromlseven
to twenty feet. The top is all black muck, that can
be moved freely. No rock bigger than one’s list.
The width of the pay, for a distance of about
three miles, is from 100 to 200 feet. Crosscuting
work indicates that the ground will go from 15
cents tO'81 per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is that the pay will average 50 cents per foot.
I have a ditch on the ground, three miles long,
together with water rights. The ground is prettv
well cleared. Thsra is also a drain, three miles
long* with the water right. I also have a water
right on Ready B illion creek, from which water
can be brought to Yankee creek with a ditch less
than a mile long >;4,900 feet), which will give four
sluiceheads of water,-with a pressure or fall of 120
feet, being 1000 feet to the work from the diteh.i
After doing away with the muck, there will be
I
I
frum four to sis feat of dirt to handle. The pay ,j
runs mostly iu the bedrock of porphyry aud slate.
The "round is virgin only about 811.000 having
been taken out by windlass in prospecting.
Prospecting work during the present winter has
resulted in finding values that run up to 81 per
square foot of bedrock.
The Flume Dredge Company has a dredge above
this ground, which has b. .a opera ion for the
'ast three seasons.
The Government road crosses. Yankee creek. I
also have a road down the creek that connects with
the Government road.
I am also the agent for owners of ground other
than that held bv tnyself.
The ground can be worked either with dredge,
drag-line scraper, or by hydranlicing.
I will either sell the ground or give a lease on
it. If the prospect is satisfactory to the buyer, a
cash payment will be expected. A good bargain
will be given to the right party.
For further information, terms, etc., eall oc
ground, or write or telegraph me.
