If you wont to find any mineral substance
used in tbo industilos of the country , all jou
have to do is to look for it. Every iear
sotnn new andvnluablo find Is mado. Last
year the lire clay deposits began to attract
the attention of capitalists , and today thcio
is a J'JS.OOO factory built and ready to com-
mencooperatlons in manufacturing lire brick ,
paving brick , tiles , dri-.in pipes , etc. , thus
keeping thousands of dollars in the west em
ploying labor Instead of building up the In
dustries of ether parts of the country It
was nrcdlctud at the time that it was moro
than likely that some enterprising pros
pector would yet discover a good cement
rock In tills part of the country , as the 'con
ditions vvcio favorable to Us existence.
All this U now liUely to bo verified as a
pleco cf rock was brought in the other day
which has every appearance of being a gen
uine cement rock. It wjis found by ono of
Iho 'vorkmen employed by the company , who
was doing a llttlo prospecting not far fiom
Great Falls , Mont. Thinking from its nw-
ne.iraneo that It might bo cement rock ho
had a piece of it calcined and reaueed to
powder , nnd then made a test of Its quali
ties along w itU some Imported Portland co-
mcnt Ho was delighted to ilnd that it set
us quickly and as hard as the Portland co-
mcnt nnd being satlslled that ho had made a
valuable discovery ho secured the claim.
Yesterday ho brought some of the rock into
the city and left It for trial It is pro
nounced bearing every appearance of being
true cement rock , but bo has not finished Ilia
experiments with it , and does not dcsiro tc
uxpress a final opinion until they are completed -

When yew Mw.ilcor even think of spring
medicine , how quickly Hood's Sarsap.irllla
comes Into your mind Taku It now
The Illinois senate , by an almost unani
mous vote , has n.issed a bill iietmlttlni ;
cities , towns and \ Illumes to establish electric-
plants to furnish light and power to their
rltt/.ens.
financial obstacles have been removed In
the way of the building of the electric air
line betw ecu Chicago and St Ixiuls , and the
apuedj construction of the road now seems
to IK ) assured
A long tunnel near ParU has been lighted
inn novel u n > Uellcctors throw the light
from many electric lamps eighteen feet above
the rails to the sides of the tutmolhoro It
Is again lellected burnished . tin. covered
with glass , into the coaches , making a soft
and agreeable Ilk-lit The trains auto
matically turn the current on and off when
entering and lo.ulng the tunnel
An ingenious form of electric safety l.imp
Is now made for u o in dangerous mines ,
powder magazines and all places where an
accidental breakage of the glass bulb might
lead to an explosion In order to eliminate
the chances of siuh danger , the inventor has
Inilosed the lamp proper iu an tibioliitel }
atrproof lantern , the peculiarity of his do-
vlco being the means of switching the lighten
on and off.
The General Klcctrlc compan.is to build
a l.iuro clcctric.il vuuks < i short dlstanco
from the city limits of Akron , O This will
bi ing them much iieirct their base of sup
plies , and M 111 bo a great saving in freight.
Options have been secured on ground , and a
bolt line railroad will bo built to connect the
plant with the neighboring railroads It is
understood that nearly 700 men \\illboem-
plo\ed in the works.
As part of the beautiful display of electric
lighting and tlicuorksvith which Admiral
Hopkins f mulshed New York fiom his
squadron there was some elect ! Ic signaling
quite out of .sight. With a scinch light of
U."i,000 candle power a telegraph operator ,
using the Morse code , on the cruiser Austra
lian pierced the heavens with electtlc Hashes
that could have been read foi ty miles away ,
that Is , by a friomlH ship many miles below
the hori/on
An Inquiry directed to twentv-nine small
cities fiom Maine to Texas , having their
electiic stiout Limps piovided and main
tained by pihatc coi poratlous , shows that
the average annual cost per lamp to the
cities is JKHi 01 A similar iuquiri directed
to twenty three small titles that own and
run their own electric stieet lamps shows
that the average annual cost per lamp to
those cities is ? ( UOI In the latter case
several of the cities obtain eonsiderablo in
come from lamps supplied to pi i\ato persons.
The lusthetic and decorative possioilltles
of the Incandescent lamp are enl > just bo-
glnnlng lobe appreciated One of the most
sucessful efforts In this direction , lin a small
way , Is the lighting of the f/ng Island
Sound steamer Puritan , In which tlio
wreathing of the pillars with n spirally dis
posed mid graceful \ ino of hammered metal ,
of which the lamps form the blossoms , pro
duces a peculiar ! ) unique and pleasing effect
The most successful achievement thus far in
this direction , however , is generally consid
ered to bo the Interior of the Church of St.
Francis Xavier , iu Now York city , in which
the Intricate lenaiss.ince decoration /oims a
most harmonious and admirable groundwork
for the handiwork of the electrical artist , and
one of which ho lias availed himself with the
most plctuiebquo and pleasing results.
Onoof the latest developments in Fiance
is an electric locomotive which not only car-
i les its generators , but a batters of storage
cells as well The Idea is that the engine
can bo small -in fact , only large enouch to
develop the average power , instead of the
maximum likely to be needed This engine
is built for the Northern Itailwav , and is de
signed for urban w oik , in which it is in
tended to run at fairli uniform spued up and
down gradients The batteries will give out
newer In ascending and w ill take it up when
the train is going down hill or stopping
Whether these advantages will compensate
for the extra weight of the accumulators re
mains to bo seen The locomotive does not
carry a eparato engine and geneiators , but
lias the armatures of the dj n.imof mounted
direct on the shaft Trials of the engine are
now in progi ess
A plant for tiansmitting power by electric
ity has been in opeiatiou for Hvo months in
California and Is of more thar oidlnary in
terest The generating plant is placed at a
point on the ban Antonio river fourteen miles
from Pomona and twenty-eight miles from
San Bernardino Hero water shoots down
a line of pipe under a head of over 400 feet
and is discharged against the blades of a
Pcltou water wheel with a piessuro of about
200 pounds per square Inch. The power thus
obtained is used to drive the dynamos at a
speed of 000 revolutions per minute , furnish
ing an alternating current of 1,0 H ) volts to a
sot of transformers which increase the
pressuio to 10000 volts , the highest used in
any commercial plant At this piessuro the
current is transmitted over two bare copper
who ciicults to Pomona and San Hoinardino ,
where icdiiciug transformers let down the
voltage ton picssuto which may bo safely
distributed in an inhabited district This
Dlnnt has been running for Hvo months with
but ono accident , which was not duo to

Don't Scold
about washing powders. If you
feel like it , it's because you haven't
got the right kind. Get Pearline ,
and sec the difference. Pearline
has been imitated but
never been equalled.
There are all kinds of imi
tations ; powders that save
work , but ruin clothes ;
powders that don't hurt ,
and don't help you ; pow
ders that are cheap to begin
"
with , but dear enough in "the end.
Try them all for yourself , if you
won't take our word for it. But don't get them mixed up in
