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. | OUR COAST DEFENSE. Mavy Board Makes Plans for Rso- ■ dering It Mors Effective. Brilev. That I. Parttealaes th. Army Fortification* Ar * Mot 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.

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. DwelleC h" Switserlaal.
