THE LUMP CITY s NER: LUMP CITY, MONTANA. POINTS OF SCIENCE. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN MANY FIELDS. 'rite Pros; rear of the World as Indicated by Inventions rod Discoveries ' In Litter - rot lands -- Chemical and Electrical Wroidera. HE GREEK word, pygme, from which we get our word pygmy, means a measure from the elbow to the hand. The pygmies were a fabulous race of dwarfs about whom many interesting stories have been told. According to Horner, they were so very small that they were attacked every year by the cranes on the coast of Oceanus and were unable to defend themselves. Writers of a later date locate the pyg- mies at the mouth of the Nile. We also read of northern pygmies, inhabiting the region of Thule, and of others that lived in subterranean dwellings on the eastern side of the Ganges. It is said that once, when Hercules visited the country inhabited by these little crea- tures, two whole pygmy armies at- tacked him while he was asleep; one army fell upon his right and the other upon his left, but the hero easily and quickly rolled them up in his lion's skin. They were not, it seems, at all afraid of Hercules, for by the help of a ladder, they climbed up his drinking - cup and helped themselves to its con- tents. Aristotle says: \The pygmies were probably some diminutive race in Upper Egypt, who rode very small horses and lived in caves.\ He did not believe that the stories told about them were altogether fabulous. It has often been declared that there are pygmy races of human beings in the heart of Africa. Indeed, Du ChatIlu, some time ago, discovered a pygmy race in the mountainous country on the east of the southern great branch • of the Ogobal. They are about four and one-half feet in helgiit and are called ()bongos. \They live In the midst of negro tribes of or- dinary size,\ says Du ChatIlu, \and there Is nothing remarkable about them except their diminutive site.\ During .his travels in the heart of Africa, 1868- 1871, Schweinfurth also claims to have discovered a nation of pygmies. D. V. F. A Novel illre Nozzle. A new nozzle for fire hose, which the Inventors claim will so spread a stream of water that It will be twice as effect- ive as a solid stream, was exhibited at 837 Broadway yesterday to a thousand persons, among them being many Fire Department offirlals from this and neighboring citiee, says the New York Sun. The invention is known as the ball nozzle, and is based on a discovery made by Vice -President Pollock of the Ball Nozzle company. It is a remark- able contrivance, and the officers of the company say that they have submitted It to men of science, but have never ob- tained any explanation of the way in which trie ball in the nozzle acts. Briefly, the nozzle is almost exactly the same In construction as the ordinary one now in use in our lire department. The ony difference is that the end is shaped like a bell and in this bell is placed a ball of solid, polished rubber. The ball is loose and there is nothing to hold it in position except a loop of brass over the front of the bell to pre- vent it from rolling out when the hose is not in use. When the stream is on full force the guard is unnecessary, al- though one would imagine that the force of the water would drive the ball out of the bell like a shot from a cannon. On the contrary, however, it holds It in and the more pressure turned on the more secure is the ball in the bell. The ball does not stick tightly against the outlet, but is held at a distance from it of about a quarter of an Inch. Theilow Is not in any way retarded by the pres- ence of the ball, but the stream is spread to a remarkable extent, and therein lies the efficacy of the nozzle, says the inventor. A second nozzle for a colid stream is attached to the hose, so that the man who is manipulating it can have either sort of a stream. A better opportunity of studying the princple of the thing was given to the visitors by means of a number of little tubes which lined the walls of the room.. The tubes projected some Inches from the wall, and a •trmendoun force wind was _kept circulating through them. A piece of paper put within an inch of the tube would be blown half across the room by the force of the wind; yet if placed flat against the tube It would remain there as snugly as though there was not a perfect gale of wind blowing against it. The same re- stilt was obtained _Item the use of a small hall. The hall if placed against the hole remained there as though there was suction instead of an outpour of wind, yet If placed within a half an Inch the wind blew It scions the room. The Inventor of the hall nozzle says that he can offer fin explanation for the isetlos of the ball lie has made a care- ful study of it, and at his tegnctit numhrr t,f a. 'entitle men have 1,.veuti gated the matter, but all have ngreed he pays, that it is opposed to the lawn of nature, and that there is no explana- tion for such a thing known to science. It is probable that the ball nozzle will be adopted In this city. 111111bleal loti ruinent, of Aluminum. The use of aluminum is becoming common. In Austria-Hungary a snort time ago the metal was introduced into the army. The band of the Third Regi- ment of Infantry (the Arohduke Charles' regiment) has used it in the manufacture of drums, discarding the old-fashioned brass metal, '1'lle instru- ments have a neat appearance and are much lighter, and according to experts their tituber is more melodious. The regimental bands In garrison at Vienna have also received the aluminum drum. It is stated that this newly improved drum will shortly be supplied to the whole of the bands in the Austrian army. Perhaps in the near future the trombone and all other instruments now wholly made of brass will give way to aluminum. lierai a New Kind of Mace Sulky. A horse lover in Hartford, Conn., has devised a sulky that may accomplish wonders in the development of speed In trotting horses. In running against time a horse should have as nearly ab- solute freedom of wind and limb as possible, besides being relieved of draft. In other words, he should be as nature designed him, and the inventor of the sulky claims that it more nearly ac- complishes thaw end than any device yet 'Made krroa;n. As shown in the eut the driver's seat is over the horse's hips, with the wheels a trifle in ad- vance of the middle of the animal's body. The central upright, extending from the wheel to the seat, is on a slight incline and must necessarily help propel the wheels, thus reducing the draft to the minimum. A surcIngle supports and steadies the shafts, and straps running from it to the pockets that inclose the end of the shafts keep the sulky from running faster than the horse. The only necessities In the way of harness are the breastplate, the sur - cingle and the bridle, leaving the ut- most freedom to the shoulders and the chest, as well as to the lungs by reason of less tightening of the girth. If the horse rears or otherwise misbehaves, the sulky must go up with him, and if he makes a sidewise movement, he must land the sulky where he lands himself, with no danger of dishing the wheel. The inventor says that no \training down\ of overweights will be necessary when his vehicle is used, as the heavier the weight, within a reasonable limit, the more easily the vehicle will be pro- pelled. He also says that a horse may be more easily controlled from the new location of the seat than when the driver sits back of ami a trifle lower than the horse. Inexpensive, Fire -Alarm. It Is possible to construct a very sim- ple and éffective fire alarm at a trifling cost. To do this all that is res 'teary is a quantity 61 cord, several small pul- leys and some article of metal that will make a great clatter when it falls. The pulleys are placed around the ceiling close to the wall, the ends of the cord are tied together in a knot that will easily slip through the pulleys, and to the cord is fastened a metal plate or whatever may be selected to make the greatest amoant of racket. The moment a blaze reaches the ceiling the cord le burned in two and the plate falls, mak- ing quite enough noise to rouse the en- tire household. If thought beat, the cords may cross the middle of the room in addition to being put around the border. — About Women. The Union Signal Is responsible for the following very significant state- ments: \In this country 2.500 womei are practicing medicine, 275 preaching the gospel, more than 8,000 managing postofficere, and over 3.000,000 earning in dependent Incomes. Since 1980 the pa- tent office has granted over 2,600 pa- tent» to women, and in New York city 27,000 women support their husbands.\ Four American girls have received special permission from the German government to enter the university of Gottingen. with the same privileges en- joyed by men. A tt onderfnl Month. February. it«, is referred to by as- tronomer b as \the month - without a full moon.\ January and March of that year had each two full moons, while the Intermediate month did not have one. Says a writer in an astronomical journal, referring to this fact: \DO you realize what a rare thing in nature it was? It has not happened before since the beginning of the Christian era, or probably since the creaticrn of the world! It will not occur again, accord- ing to the computations of the astrono- mer royal of England, for- how long do you think? Not until after 2.500.00f year's from I866!\ Afraid of the Corporation.

W ha t seemed fa tattoos of the richness of the hods wero spread in tlle lieWS eoliiiiin4 of the daily papers to the alternate ainuaement and admiration of the mining community. Mr. C. H. Durst. a fairly relented miller or the city, gave the first impetus to the exciletnen1 by telling of accidentally picklug out a small nugget of gold front a pan of dirt which he had gathered from It strip of laud adjacent to a quartz vein upon which he had been working for some time. Ills attention was first suraoted to the dirt by some glittering partieles which he observed In passing. The nugget proved to be worth about fifteen cents. On furtWa. panning Mr. Durst represented that tie got the enor- mous valuation of $3.12 to a third of a Yard of dirt, or $0.36 per yard. haute - (betray with his partners he made placer filings upon 500 acres of ground. It will be very loteresting to watch de- velopments in Harker's Canon to see if they turn out as unaubstautia! as dld the previous big gold excitement In Little Cottonwood Canon, where. after losing the vein entirely, the ownersoire still tun- neling vigorously In a search to recover what once gave promise of being a huge bonanza. Captain De Lamar's acquirement of inte,Fest In the Golden Gate has been followed by an effort on the part of the big French syndicate now owning the Old Telegraph, of Bingham. to purehase the Mercur property outright. It Is un- derstood that the Mercur company has named $1,000.000 as its selling price: but refuses to give any bond. Miners are rather hopeful that the Frenchmen will succeed in their efforts to purchase, In- asmuch as the present management of the mine is said to operate with great picayunishness and with a certain care- lessness as to the lives and interests of its employes. Foreigners are generally accredited with doing things on a liberai and systematic scale. In the silver properties the Centennial - Eureka. at Park City, has just struck a new high-grade body of ore on the 1.000 - foot level, and has paid its customary monthly double dividend e $1 per Share or $30.000 in all. The ligullion-Beek. at Eureka. is turning out about 100 tons per day, which runs about fifty ounces silver with a bi-produet of gold and lead. The new will is almost completed. From Payson, south of the city. is re- ported a heavy coal dlecovefy. but up to this writing particulars are unobtaina- ble. The guano miners are putting In improvementa in their landing on the lake shore and beginning to unload and market the guano already. They antici- pate a brisk business and a fair fortune. Ogden is progressing well with its Iron developments, giving promise of realiz- ing before many months on' the first rolling mills end foundry In the terri- tory that will operate in native Iron.
