Among the arrivals at San Francisco
from Lincoln , Nob. , a day or two ago
was Prof. T. U. Marsland of the Ne
braska Stnto university , who had just
completed two remarkable scientific ex
peditions in quest of rare fossils. Ono
was to Pine Kldgo , the famous scone of
the recent Sioux Indian outbreak ,
where ho and others discovered myriads
of a strangely curious fossil , culled by
them devil's corkscrews. The other
was to Phillips county , Kansas , whore
Prof. Marsland discovered a wealth of
rhinoceros , elephant and mastodon re
mains , of whoso existence nobody hith
erto dreamed.
The professor , who is a young man
and full o ( the enthusiasm of the discov
erer , was seen by a San Francisco
Chronicle reporter. Ho was deeply
bronzed by the pralrlo breezes and burn
ing HUH. Ho said ho had como to Cali
fornia to study marine fossils for the
Nebraska University , which Is very un-
terprislng in sending out expeditions ,
nnd would act as Instructor in.scicuco at
the Reed tehool.
It was a singular story that ho told In
reference to the finding of the phenome
nal devil's ' corkscrews , about which most
of the interest of the expeditions is
hinged. The corkscrews are as much as
eight feet long , actual corkscrews in
shape , and are often eight inches
through.
Ho estimates that there are 400 square
miles of them , yet strange to say , not
withstanding the vast number of scien
tific expeditions hitherto , none of them
have been discovered boforo. The cork
screws are silicate , and they are found
in a silicious sandstone. In many places
they stick through the sandrock of the
hills , the stone belnij worn oif by the
elements and the silicate spiral being
harder , has remained. It is no trouble ,
the professor says , to strip the sand
away from th'em. It is rather soft , and
the men can work fast.
Some of the strange silicate spirals
are coiled about a central spire , like a
grapevine about a tree. Then at the
bottom or root of the spire are curious
protuberances each way , and rising
toward the surface of the ground at
something like thirtju-ono degrees. They
nro often quite as Ions'as the corkscrew
spiral. Prof. Marsland has a very valu
able collection of photographs of the
fossils , taken by himself on the ground.
The expedition to1 Pine Ridge and
other regions of the' 400 square miles
whore the corkscrews' were found , and
which Prof. Mursldnd accompanied ,
was in charge of Ei 'H. ' Barbour , pro1
fossor of geology iii'-Jtlio Nebraska uni
versity. The other * expedition Prof.
Marslandcommanded himself. They
were both known as Merrill expeditions ,
a wealthy man of tmi'namo ' of Merrill
having furnished the -means for them.
The formations in both instances are
tertiary , the latter 'cither miocene or
pliocene. > } i <
"Thoib devil's 'corkscrews which stick
out over Pino' Ridgc.'dnd ' bord6r on the
Bad Lands , " said Prof. Marslund. "uro
most singular things. Nobody knows
what they are or "how they wore made.
When Prof. Barbour found the first ono
ho sent a minute description of it to ono
of the most eminent , scientists of Yale.
The Yale scientist thought It was
purely accidental , that it did not amount
to much and that no moro would bo
found. Strangely enough , too , the
people wo mot on the Cheyenne river
and in various parts of the 400 square
miles said wo would never find any
moro. They had never seen any , so
they said. Yet as wo hunted wo found
myriads sticking out very thickly in
places over this stupendous area.
"As first it was thought by some that
the spirals were cauted by some sort of a
burrowing , the theory being that some
animal had burrowed , rabbit-liko , and
that the hole had filled with silicious
sand and hardened. But this theory
wouldn't do , because it appeared that
whatever the spirals were they wore of
marine formation , and whether animal
or vegetable , had grown under the sea.
"From all wo could gather wo are in
clined to believe the devil's corkscrews
are a curious form of the sponge , yet
oven that is by no moans certain. If
they are sponges they would , under the
spectrum , show certain specks which
murk the sponge , and once Prof. Bar
bour thought ho did see ono or two , but
ho coilltln't bemire of tills. Otlior ro-
innrkablo things were whnt wo found lm-
botltloil In tJiom nnil forming ft pnrt. Once
wo round tbo f1 < oloton of n llitlo nnhnnl
like n rnt. nnd nt unothor thnovo found
the 'skeleton of n snako. "
The corkscrew rojjlcm extends from
the Nlohrnra rlvor to Pine Uldpo nnd
nltnoftl to the Unt Crook basin , The
corkscrewsnro almost as tmo as if nmdo
by a lathe , nnd nro rlght-hnnilud nnd
loft-banded Indiscriminatey. ! The proat
transverse pieces , called rhizomes or un
derground stems , project In all direc
tions out of Iho banks and bluff * like
logs. Some nro an largo ns ordinary
barrels , others as largo as hogshuads. .
When half disclosed in the bluffs they
look like ' largo sawlogs.
Pot' Maralund is lost in the problem
ns to wlmt the colossal corkscrews aro.
"Can it bo , " ho said , "that thcso great
'twisters ' , ' instead of bolnesuongos grow
ing from below upwards , are roots , bor
ing their way from above downward ,
and becoming so completely modified as
to lose their identity as routs ? "
A singular thing was found by Iho use
of the plumb lino. A corkscrew over
eight foot eight inches long was tested
by the line , and it was found that from
top to bottom the whirls of the sorow va
ried butono-oighth of an Inch in thocaso
of OMO cell , in others still loss. Generally
speaking , the corkscrews are of marvel-
0113 perfection , and they are BO great as
regards size as to utterly dwarf a man
standing beside them.
"The family and fin spoclos nro nil
now , " said Prof. Marslaud. "The fam
ily immo bestowed is dalmonolicld ; ,
which la very npproprlato , and the
genus daitnouclix. Nothing like the
devil's corkscrew lias over before been
known. Itisnotoulv now to science ,
but strniigo and puzzling almost beyond
belief. All wo know is that it is Bomo
singular form of animal or vegetable life
now extinct.
"Besides the bare existence of the
giant corkscrew Is the extraordinary
fact that they never attracted the atten
tion of any scientist till this expedition
came In with specimens.
"Wo have brought in a largo number
and placed them in the museum of the
university. I think they are destined
to attract immense attention. What
will bo tlnally concluded in regard to
them is hard to toll. "
Prof. Maryland brought with him
from Phillips conntyKmiBasseveral fine
specimens of elephants' tusks , which ho
now has at Bolmont. His theory is
from the largo deposits found in the
tertiary formation there , that not only
a few , but vast herds of elephants
swarmed over that section of country in
ages past.
It was then very hot there , with an
immense tropical growth. The speci
mens ho has with him are remarkably
perfect.
THE THING BE HANGED.
A Hit oT Decorative 1.1 fo Common Among
Huusoholilori.
The man who is keeping house , on
however small a ecalo , finds a great
many pleasant little chores to do which
keep him occupied in the evenings , and
which give a great zest to life. Perhaps
the most exhilarating of these is the
task of hanging a picture. In the course
of human events it frequently becomes
necessary to hang the hanged old
pictures which disfigure the house.
A gentleman friend of the Wash
ington News attempted to accom
plish this feat last evening. Ho
wheeled the refrigerator into the front
room , whom iho picture was to bo put
up , and then ho stationed himself upon
it and tried to drive u nail into the wall.
The nail w&uldn't go in more than half
an inch , on account of a brick , and while
lie was fussing away the refrigerator
rolled from under him and ho fell all
over the room , hitting every separate
piece of furniture a clip" with his head
before ho finally subsided in a corner ,
with Ills brow jammed under u bookcase.
Then ho got up and said some frightful
things , and his wife told him to lot the
old picture go : she could hire a man , she
said , who would put it up for 10 cents ,
and not disgrace the entire neighbor
hood ; but ho replied that ho would hang
that thundering picture or break
his back trving , and if she didn't
like it she could go around and stay at
the police station until he got through.
So ho got the refrigerator in position
again , and finally succeeded in driving
in the nail ; then ho had the picture
handed up , and ho was just putting it in
place when tno refrigerator took another
trip and ho sat down by the wall with
painful energy , the chromo around his
neck , his hair full of broken glass , and
three yards of plaster down his back.
Ho was just going to explain what ho
thought about the circus when twelve
neighbors came in a body , and said that
if ho didn't leave that locality they
would ; that tjioy were patient and long-
Buffering , but they drew the line nt liv
ing near a holler foundry , nnd a good
deal moro to the same effect. And ho
said but you wouldn't read it if it were
printed.

llendi to the North.
The old tirno superstitious belief that t
human beings should sleep with their
heads toward the north is now believed L
to bo bnfeod upon a scientific principle.
Some French savants have nmdo ex
periments upon the body of a criminal
who had Buffered death , and those tests
go to provo that each human body is in
itself an electric battery , ono olcctrodo
being represented by the head and the
other by the foot. The body of the sub
ject upon which the queer experiments
mentioned above were inutlo was taken
immediately after death and placed upon
it pivotal board , free to move' in any di
rection. After some llttlb vuccilatlon
the head portion turned toward tHe
north and then remained stationary.
Ono of the experimenters took hold of f
the pivot and turned it BO that tlio head 1
pointed-flouth , but upon being freed It
almost immediately resumed the first
named position turned until the head 1
pointed north. To provo that this was
neither accident or coincident upon mus
cular twitching , as some had suggested
the board was repeatedly turned 1ml
around and then freed , but always with
similar results.

A dlBgustcd-looking commorclal trav
eler sat iu a chair on the Southern hotel
sidewalk and told his tale of woo to a
Globo-Domocrat reporter. "I have al
ways , " said ho , "had n liking for gold
coin , and am never happy unless I have
in my pocket ono or moro bright golden
eagles , but hereafter 1 will bo content
with ono for a pocket ploco. During a
recent trip through this section of the
country , whenever 1 saw a gold $20 piece
in the hands of u merchant , I would ask
him to lot mo have it for currency. In
this way I had accumulated ton of the
shiners. A Hiiddon demand for some
money from my household soul mo into
a bank today to'purohiiHo a sight draft ,
and , desiring to send $100 , I handed out
live of my eagles , as the weight of the
ten was beginning to annoy mo. TBo
clerk with whom I transacted my busi
ness put the coins into a sort of a slot
machine , and , to my surprise , they all
came out to ono side , and the dork ,
looking at mo keenly and in what I know
to bo a suspicious 'manner , said : 'My
friend , those coins are all light. ! "
" 'Light ; " I replied.
" 'Yes. light. Wait a minute and I
will loll you how much. '
"Ho stepped back to a delicate looking
scale , noted the dial , did some figuring
ami then said : 'Your 9100 in gold is just
$8.75 short of being $100. These coins
have boon sweated. ' I expressed my
surprise , but it did inn no good , and I
gave him the difference and got my
draft , ho explaining that he would have
to send the coin with an accumulation
of others to the subtroasury , whore the
bank would bo paid their bullion value
for them. "
The reporter , with the commercial
man's experience in mind , called at the
United States subtreasury in the custom
house , and listened intently to
ono of the "counts , " as they call all sub-
treasury clerks , toll all about the tw-
cient and modern "sweating" of gold
coins. "S wonting" ia a form of fraud
that was once so common in England
that to put a stop to it it was declared
to bo a capital ofTcnso , and many a
sharper paid with his life for his desire
to gain riches without adequate labor for
the same.
" " is the time-honored
"Sweating" - police
term for the filching from a gold or
silver coin a portion of its value , gener
ally so small as to escape observation.
The Jews of London would put 100 golden
sovereigns into a leather bag , which
would bo attached to a wheel for the
the purpose of shaking it. The friction of
the coins would wear on" small particles of
gold dust From the 100 sovereigns no
more would bo worn oil than the value
say of two of the coins. When the iob
was done the coins would bo taken out
and the leather bag thrown into a fur
nace. The result of the sweating would
appear in a little nugget of rcllncd gold.
The modern process , which is simple
but profitable , requires some oxportncss
and a knowlcdgo of electro plating. A
small tank is filled with a solution of
cyanide of potash , A coper wire con
nected with an electric batter ] is so ar
ranged that its two ends are inimerHod
in the solution. To the end which is
the positive polo is * attached a small
lump of platinum of y.ine , while to the
other end or negative pole is attached a
$20 gold pioco. The current is turned
on. The chemical solution begins to
absorb gold from the coin. When it has
taken up all it can hold the surplus of
the latter begins to deposit upon the
lump of platinum orinc. . This process
might bo continued until all the gold in
the coin had gone to the other end of the
wire.
This the swindlers do not desire. They
are careful to remove tno coin from its
bath before it has been depleted enough
to invite suspicion. They rarely take off
moro than 75 cents worth of gold. Such
coins bear no altered appearance to the
inexperienced eye. An export , how
ever , detects an unnatural smoothness ,
the chemical bath having smootlied
down the sharp linns of the die. This is
different from the effect produced by the
abrasion incidental to ordinary wear.
The method of the swindlers of London ,
while slower and moro laborious , was
leas likely to lead to detection than the
plan pursued in this electric ago.
The sweated coin by the electric pro
cess is moro dangerous , however , than
when reduced by the old methods , as the
very qualities that reveal its delinquency
to the export are calculated to deceive
the ordinary person. The sweated coin
with its outside coat removed comes out
as bright and shiny as if just fresh from
the mint. This very brightness excites
the distrust of the bank cashier.
Comparatively few of those coins reach
the subtroasiiry hero. Very few banks
have the delicate apparatus made with
which to detect thiri intinitosimal light
ness of coins. You know that when any
gold coin comes to our counter it is sub
mitted to the test and the scrtlo shows
its lightness if it be but a fraction of a
grain : it is indicated by the dial. There
Is , of course , a very slight allowance
made for wear and tear on a coin , but
whore the shortage in appreciable , I
won't say how many cents , but it is very
few , the coin IB stamped "light" and the
person who presents It is given Its
bullion value in currency , after a pro-
cess that is more or less irritating to
persons who are averse to red tape. "I
felt sorry for a gentleman , " said the
"count , " "who came up hero one day ,
actuated by purely patriotic motives , to
hoi ) ) the government out in the matter
of the shrinkage of the gold rcaorvo. Ho
had twenty $20 gold pieces hoarded
away. Ho passed them out onto the
counter with a benevolent HiniU' and
said : "I understand that Uncle Sam is
a little short of gold coin , and as every
little helps , you may just take that $400
and give mo currency for it. Undo
Sam's notes are good enough for mo.1 I
took his money , put it in the scale , and
sixteen of his twenty coins were light ,
and I had to stamp them HO.
"The patriot fumed and threatened
when I told him his $100 wai worth in
Uncle Sam'a ourronoy just WStMO , but
the coins had passed from his hands , the
government had condemned thorn , and
ho wont out a madder , wiser and poorer
man , with his faith In gold badly
shaken , "
"As I said , comparatively few of these
coins reach us. They are purposely cir
culated in portions of the' country far
away from Washington and the sub-
treasuries of the United States.
'Sweated1 coins that do not roach the
BiibtroasUry exports may romaln in clr-
culatiorwa long time. There is no
moans of knowing how n uch of thia
'shaved1 coin is in circulation. Not aa
much , I should think , a ? ono would sup-
pu.so , owing to the simplicity and cheapness -
ness of the process , judging , as I do ,
only from the limited amount that falls
into our hand * .
"Tho materials for the fraud cos
very Httlo , nnd ono ordinary oloctrlo
light wire furnishes the necessary clu'-
rent.
"The same process can bo applied to
silver If the swindler's capital Is limited
nnd his desires modest. It would cer
tainly IMS a moro discrete and snfo fraud
than the pestiferous plan of punching
u dime's worth of silver out of a dollar
and making U valueless.
' 'The great point with the 'sweater1 la
lo cheek his natural desiree bo greedy.
Ho must have the patience and modesty
of the Chinamen of the Pacific slope ,
who , with murvolous Ingenuity , split a
golden coin , scoop out'a lllllo 'of thu
yellow metal , till the hole with baao
metal nnd then stick the two halves of
thu coin together with such noatncm as
to defy detection. I have no doubt thut
in the west , whore the hulk of the
money in circulation la gold and silver
coin , the presence of sweated coin Is
qulto general. "
AMERICA LEAJJ3.
Oilier Nntluni In Hindi-lent
Arirnncnmrnt.
The way in which Americans have a
cnack of "getting there" is well illus
trated in various branches of electrical
engineering. The Knglish have earned
the reputation of laggnnh in electrical
applications , notwithstanding the dis
tinction they have attained in electrics ;
but what they do may In nearly every
ease bo rolled on as well and thoroughly
clone. Their experience in tlio trans
mission of lighting currents athlgh volt
age lias , however , formed an oxooptlon
to this rule. When , a few years ago ,
Mr. Forrnntl boldly ntatud that ho would
supply current from tlio Doptford sta
tion at 10,000 volts his auda
cious scheme wns iooked upon
by the majority of oloctrU.ians as quix
otic and impossible. The plant installed
for this purpose has not hitherto proved
a commercial success , and tlio normal
potential is restricted to5,000 volts , with
the possibility of using 10,000 in omor-
g'enolos. Klectrlcal engineers on this
side were not slow to profit by the Ics-
sons taught by the history of the Oros-
vonor station , and have now achieved
the dual distinction of installing the
ilt'st commercial plant to use 10,000 ns
the normal potential , and the longest
commercial transmission in the world.
Such Is the plant of the S.in Antonio
Light and Power company of Pomona ,
Cal. Sixteen miles north of Pomona , in
a picturesque gorge , is an abundant
stream of water which ilows rapidly to
the river in a comparatively short dis-
tanco. Pomona and San ilnrnardlno ,
twelve miles further away , wanted uhcap
electric light , and out of the waste
water of the San Antonia river Calitor-
nian nerve and enterprise has provided
a moans of illuminating the streets of
these cities. Tlio Hrst operation was
the building' of a tunnel 1U2I foot long ,
and then , by constructing 2,010 feet of
pijo ) line , 'a head of 'M5 feet was ob
tained. All the rest was simply n
matter of suitable machinery , and now
the line is in working order and , as has
boon already stated , transmits current
under a pressure of 10,000 , volts a dis
tance of twenty-eight miles. Though
supplying current for lighting purposes
only at present , the company is about to
engage in power transmission and pro
poses soon to extend its line in various
directions. A recent test of the .system

Muoliiiio Iolt of Paper.
Paper bolting for thopurpospof trans-
mitting'powor is the next thing which
is going to astonish tlio manufacturing
fraternity , says the Boston Commercial
Bulletin. Tlio inventor was for live
years assistant to the superintendent of
power of ono of the gront factories in
Lowell , Mass. It was while In this posi
tion , in which ho had much to do with
lacing and tightening bolts , that ho con
ceived the idea that bolting made of
paper could bo made to do better work
than either leather , rubber or cotton.
Ho argued that , as a thick piece of paste
board can bo nmdo to take on a very
firm , smooth and durable surface by
holding the same against another mov
ing surface for several minutes , that a
larger pleco of paper made in the form
of a belt and permitted to run upon the
surface of a pulley day after day would
soon create upon itssurlace a firm , hard *
shining coating that would last 'a long
time.
In making the bells links made from
paper pulp are used. As soon as the belt
Is put iiito working order a hurt ] , shin
ing coating appears upon the surfaoo
next the pulleys and this becomes harder
as the months slip by. It becomes BO
hard finally that only the cold oliinol
can cut into it. Such a surface worka
well on the pulleys.
