A t'oiiiparlson of a Fen- of the ISarI-
eit Known iuerals.
Of the articles of jade shown by
the New Zealand court at the Col
onial Exhibition, England. Prof
essor Siinnionds says: "Evidenc
ing the skill of the Maoris in fork
ing this hard material, the second
iutliis respect to the diamoud, al-
tmnirh nitifh more fraaile' etc.
This would leave one to infer that
the material possesses great hard
ness when, in fact, the hardaess of
jade is 0.5, less even than that of
rock crystal, and it can be worked
with sand, bv which labor ou?
means,undoubtedlv,a!l ot the ahoii
ginai oruainents or the Maori were
made, bo tav as its tniguitv is
concerned, it is the toughest of a
known minerals, and this is the
reason whv it is so difficult to work
It would r quire less tune to polish
twenty surfaces ot agatj, which is
haidrr th: n jade, than it would to
oolish one of jade on the same
wheel, Krantz, tfte miueral dealer
of Bonn, having a tifty-pund
piece of jade which he wishes brok
n into small Irsnd specimens, a
irieud kifidiy offered him the use
of a large half ton trip-hammer to
ItMR it witfi. At the first blow
the haninws" was dcmolilied and
'In jule ws only rractured iy r!

Vi frouerdy hear minerals t

() theMohs scale of har.iness the

fhe-scles is only 1, there is room
foi"B':veral substances between the
9 -diamond an1 tlx sapphire: and as
we 'have no such siiiistauce in
nature we place diamond on 10.
In lvaiity. so great is the difference
between tliese two substances that,
if "the hardness of the sapphire is
li,'1,hat of the diamond would be
full? 100, relatively to the rest of
t.v;t srai. lTor. rnimouos siso

A word in closinir, about the

Sax I'r-xncisco, Jan. 4. This
cilvwas almost entirely cut off
from the East yesterday, as far as
nut-grapiiic communication is con
cerned. A fierce storm raged in
the Sierra Nevada mountains Mon
day iiiht, completely leveling,
nearly thiee miles of telegraph
poles and wires between Truckee
and Boca. A construction train
left Sacramento early in the day
to repair the damages. The south
ern wires were also down until
toward evening when one wire
began to work. The storm also
caused a breaki.'.s in telegraph
communication between ban Fran
cisco and Portland. A fierce storm
is raging in the Klamath and Sis
kiyou ranges, and the north-bound
passenger train has been delayed
at Ashland, having been unable to
proceed north from that point by
reason of a storm. At 0 o'cIock
vesterday evening the Western
Union lost all wires to the East.
810KHS AT SEA
Several Vessels Di-iven 4liore Willi
I'atal IC'-Miils.
Sax Feaxcisco, Jan. 4. The
steamer Arago, which arrived to
day from Coos bay, brought the
Ibst news of the wreck of thxs
steamer John Hancock, off Mendo
cino coast. The wreck was occa-
1 sioned bv the kf;e storm.whicti was
ivpurtevl to be the most, severe that
has visited the coast for vears.
The Hancock left Humbolt" bay
with a cargo of lumber n Dec. 3i,
bound for Livene
,1
The b;:r was
breaking badly and a heavy wind
was rapidly increasing, but no ap
prehension existed in the minds of
the captain or crew at that timo.
The gale increased and t he vessel
was much strained. She tossed
from one side to another until
shortly after midnight, when it was
discovered that she had sprung a
leak forward her bows. She grad
ually settled and the captain and
his wife an. 1 crew were compelled
t j leave the vessel hastily in small
boats. The weather was so thick
that it was impossible to find land,
and the boats drifted around for
twelve hours, when the occupants
were picked up by the steamer Ar
ago and brought to this citv-. Ke
norts at the Slercfiants Exchange
to-day tell of the fatal wreck at
Bowen's landing last night of the
schooner California, of this port.
The crew were all saved. Anxiety
is also expressed for the schooner
Julia G. Slarks, which sailed from
San Pedro on December 7th for
Humboldt, and has not arrived
yet.
The Los Angeles Fire.
Los Angeles, Jan. 4. The prin
cipal losers by the fire yesterday
was the Los Angeles Furniture
Co., of which H. H. Slarkham is
resident. The concern had a
large stock on hand, and the total
loss is estimated at from $125,000'
to $150,000, w hile the insurance is
estimated at-$70,000.
The Larzc or the Small Cow.
Farm and Garden.
Whether the large or small cow
is the most profitable on small
farms is a disputed queston. For
our part we like a good cow,
whether she is large or small, and
are better suited by quality than
size. The large animal consumes
more and should yield an increase
of milk and butter to compensate
for the extra feed We saw, not
long since, a statement in which
the extra cost and possible profit
and loss were very nicely calcula
ted, and the balance seemed to be
in favor" of the smalier cow. We
do not believe there is much dif
ference in profit yielded, by an in
dividual cow of either class, if they
are good specimens of their kint .
We believe good keep makes the
profit in all cases, be the breed
what it may. It requires a certain
amount of feed to sustain life and
keep up animal waste; whatever
additional proper nutritious food
is supplied well,in a good cow,goea
into profit in milk and butter.
The advocates of the large cow
urge that there is an increased
value in such stok when it comes
to the butcher; but this is not of
much consequence, for such beef
does not have a high market value.
Select whatever Kind we may for
the dairy, if we consult our profit
we must look for the one that
makes the best returns for her keep
all others consideration of size ami
weight are only of minor impor
tance. The best caw at the milk
pail will be the best breed for the
owner.
The most a rascal will do for a
living is to
do" other people.
