Goldfield Grieves.
Goldiield. a mining town of Nevada
¡, in mourning. Its sack clo'.li and ashes
are not due to any falling off in product,
failure of the oil veins or the usual lines
of business incident to mining camps
Thesaloons still flourish, there is an
abundant How of bail beer and "bug
juice, 'and the dance halls still afford a
nocturnal nightmare of howling femin
¡.lit/. Tne warning sign is still up:
■ Gentlemen, please don’t shoot the
pianist, she is doing the best she can.”
It is pissible to get into a "little game of
draw," or "old sledge,” or the vestive
crape without danger of arrest, and, in
fact, everything is .-mining just as it did
in the palmy days of Bert Harte and
• The Outcasts of Poker Flat." Still
Goldfield is inconsolable and weeping,
like Rocliel for her children, because
they are not. Goldfield has lost its most
valued possession and refuses to be com
forted. The population had plenty to
drink, but what it wanted most it could
not get, It did not hunger like the
Israelites, for the fleehpots of Egypt, but
it yearned for the milk pans in the old
springhouses of the eastern homes. As
babies, they cried for milk, but milk
seemed the very thing these Nevada
mountains were destitute of. There
being no grass and dry feed having to be
imported at a ruinous price, no ctitle
were numbered among the possessions
of this isolated community.
But Goldfield bad a " widder worn
an,'' and she was of an inventive as
well as speculative turn of mind. It
occurred to her fertile brain that a
fresh cow would be an excellent in
vestment for a denizen of this milk
dry mining camp, and a fortune loomed
up in her imagination as a result of
the happy conception.
Forthwith,
she sent 'way off somewhere and bought
a cow at a stiff price, which she had
transported at another stiff price and
bought hay to feed it at a still stiffer
price (|tUUa ton), but at last she had her
cow and proceeded to set up in business.
She did not have to advertise her pre
cious possession in the local newspaper,
as the population did that for Ler in its
uoisiest way, by escorting the cow to the
music of a sheepskin band, the floating
of tattered banners and a promiscuous
shooting up of the town. The whole
camp was wild with joy and smacked
their lips over anticipated buttermilk
and something in the way of butter
better than oleo axlegrease. In a day
or two a gigantic sign stretched acres
the main street bearing the legend :
"Icecream from Mrs. Rice’s cow.’’ It
drew like a mustard plaster.
The
whole town assembled and crowded,
begging for a taste of the long-lost
fl lid. Of course there was not enough
to go around, not half enough, but the
enterprising " widder” was selling milk
at wartime prices in Confederate mon.
ey and ice cream so high tin t only the
mine owners could indulge. Every
thing went swimmingly for a while,
and Widow Rice confidently expected
to soon join Mrs. Mackey, Madame
Fair and the rest of the millionairesses
who began as cooks and la'indresses
and wound up as swell leaders of the
swell in “Yurrup.” Alas for human ex
pectations. Just at this juncture the
supply of milk stopped short, and this
is why Goldfield went in mourning.
Just what caused the cow to act in
this unladylike way, whether killed
with kindness or bad hay, is not re.
corded any more than it was in the old
song that pretended to tell " What the
Old Cow Died Of.” But die she did.
and the moral seems to be that a com.
nmnity can do without anything else
but a cow.

Kuouiflk-—Some Danger of
Vrlotion Maid to Kalat.
The general board of the navy, of
which Admiral Dewey is president, ha«
I wen discutaing the plana of coast of
fense and defense to be maintained by
the navy in conjunction with the land
fortifications, and Rear Admiral P. H.
Cooper, who is now on waiting orders
at Morristown, N. J., has been desig
nated as the officer who will prepare
the coast line from Chatham light,
(ape Cod, to Barnegat light, in New
Jersey. This new duty will require a
good deal of travel along thecoast line
embraced in the district, and he is au
thorized to incur all neceaaary ex
penses on such trip.
It is not the intention of the naval
general board to interfere with the
plans of defense contemplated by the
army coast fortifications, but the plan
of t he naval board probably will arouse
the artillery officers of the army to
some objection against what they may
regard as an interference with the
legitimate duties of the army.
There has always been more or less
rivalry between the two services in the
matter of defending the coast, but Ad
miral Dewey and his associates on the
general board believe that the coast
forts do not provide all the defense
which is neceasary.
In Chesapeake
bay. for instance, there are no fortifi
cations which would serve to keep out
an enemy’s vessel, and much the same
condition prevails in Delaware bay and
Long Island sound.
The board has made a report to the
secretary of the navy suggesting in
general terms that the department
possess itself of a plan of offense and
defense which shall contemplate the
movement of naval vessels of ail
clasaes. from the smallest torpedo boat
to the largest battleships, taking into
consideration as well the use of the
submarine torpedo vessels. It is with
the idea of preparing a plan in detail
along the coast frbm (’hatham light
to Barnegat light that Rear Admiral
Cooper has been designated. His let
ter of instructions will be regarded as
confidential matter, but it is known
,
that in general terms he is specially
cautioned not to overstep the line
which divides the naval from the shore
system of defense. Nevertheless the
artillery officer
*
are likely to regard
the incident of Rear Admiral Cooper’s
detail as an encroachment on the func
tion of their arm.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY,
There are in Paris 1,31# factories.
The world's output of coal in 1900
was 767.630.000 tons.
A large factory in Jena, Germany,
utilizes its surplus hot water in such
& way as to afford the laborers nearly
a thousand baths per week.
In some German cities it is custom
ary to fee street car conductors, who
are thus enabled to add from four to
six dollars a month to their income.
The richest farm in the world is an
acre worth $288.000 in the heart of New
York’s ultra-fashionable district, be
tween West End avenue and River
side drive. It i« tilled regularly and
the produce is sold at the nearest mar
ket.
During the civil war the site
was covered by a government recruit
ing station.
A research steamer belonging to the
Norwegian government recently car
ried on the North sea some experi
ment«! fishings which yielded impor
tant results. In three days 117 halibut
and 300 large cod were caught at a
depth of 200 fathoms, thus proving
the existence of large quantities of
these fishes at a time of the year when
they are not to be found on the coast
of Norway.
Many people imagine that the in
candescent electric light gives out little
or no heat, but it is found that of the
energy consumed only six per cent,
is converted into light, while 95 per
cent, goes into heat. A lamp immersed
in water will bring the water to a
boil, and many cases of fire have been
caused by carelessness in letting in
flammable substance« rest in contact
with the lamp.
Prof. James Dewar, president of the
annual meeting of the British Asso
ciation for the Advancement of Sci
ence at Belfast, has pointed out in the
boldest language that while English
men have repeatedly discovered scien
tific principles and laws of great im
portance. the Germans and Americans
have been making the practical appli
cations of them leaving England be
hind in reaping the advantages.
COMPLAIN OF STAMPS.
Lee Hecemtlr Sent (lit by Post Offive
Tha« Steck
Two Well.
Many complaints have been made
to the post office authorities that the
«tamps sold in books of 24 and 48 have
had a way of sticking to the paraffin
paper that was supposed to protect
the mucilage on them. An investiga
tion was made, with the result that a
circular was issued authorizing the re
demption of stamps so glued to the
sheets in books.
It was explained that "by mistake”
the contractor who made the books
had used a poor quality of paraffin pa
per. Postmasters were instructed to
return to the department at Washing
ton all books of stamps made with this
inferior quality of paraffin fly leaves
which they had on hand. lender this
order about $12.000 worth of damaged
books have heen turned in. and it is
thought that there will be little more
trouble of the kind.
This is not the only stamp trouble of
the post office. Particularly from the
south and along the Atlantic coast
there came many complaints that the
ordinary one »nd two-cent stamp«
stuck to everything they touched. A
»beet of 50 or more was turned in at
the New York post office this week.
They had been sent loose in a letter
from the south and were hopelessly
glued to the paper.
Whether the trouble is due to some
thing wrong with the mucilage or the
abnormally wet season in the south
and along the coast ha« not been de
termined. There is no provision for
the redemption by postmasters of
damaged individual stamps.
