Millstone on road and the telegraph operator almost the only occupant sings the instrument aud messages tell of at the Bound Brook crossing Both sides are face to face attitude The men of tlie vania company few in number at the point of attack stand strictly on the defensive and and Delaware watch opening for ah offensive movement still clicks tlie instrument there are one hundred Italians armed to the teeth with knives and that the thronged and Then there is another patch calls for instant action for it says that the Bound Brook men are tearing lip tlie rails that have partially fixed the position In a few more they will he running their trains right across the track to the Pennsylvania road unless something is done will be done said the operator and ere he had hardly finished the sentence the clicking is heard again and tlie message that it brings has tlie aud decisive ring The words are from the Super- intendent of the Pennsylvania Company they George Ellis at once with aM tell him to break down obstructions oh road and drive the engine into the frog George Ellis stout swarthy and dark-bearded is pacing up and down the dusky room His engine is at the door Outside the rain is falling drearily the ilight is pitch dark He is one of the oldest and most trusty driver's on tlie road and to him lias been assigned a desperate undertaking but he does not flinch He buttons his smutty blouse to his chin steps upon the platform of the engine and the lever The steam and ing through the iron limbs tlie wheels begin to move and then with a shriek the great monster springs forward snorting into the darkness The road is all clear thirteen miles tb and the locomotive ders on burning ami flaming across the sey plains Ellis stands brave fireman Sam Granger and both peer ahead upon the uncertain path by the headlight where is impenetrable darkness save the great dance spectral in the living monster ahead si ii tlie eagine thunders oh Tile drops splash and FIZZ upon boiler aud Uie windows The wet rails glisten in the light and glimmering serpents of steel that curl anil trail away in darkness But Ellis Granger do hot mind them or the beating rain for they are looking out for breakers and for Italians armed to the teeth At the speed is gradually reduced for the of the enemy is nearly reached arid there is a light At the depot of the little hamlet of not quarters of a mile from the frog Ellis checks the locomotive for it is time to cautious and wakeful A man running to him through tlie fog There are tions just below and the enemy are guarding the switches The man gets upon the en- gine box and again they into the rain and fog Sot so fast as beforcj however for there are men with either side and what they have done to the track can only be guessed at First a glowing red light sing and whirling in the air is seen arid the headlight gleams from the dark the outlines of a mail but there is no stop the signal of warning it is in the hands of foes as a ruse Then another light red and glowing gleams from the track It is a for an instant halt Ellis knows what it means arid with a dash the engine is upon it and the lantern is sent whirling in a thousand pieces in every direction Slower and slower the engine rims for the obstructions are near tlie en- gineer and fireman watch intently Suddenly a glimmering flickering that is not the tion upon the road a dark wall rises up as the light flashes down there is a crash the noise is crackling timbers and the air is full of flying ties and rails Old 336 tosses them off her prow as though they were wheat straws and onward rushes straight the frog and the expected crash In an in slant almost another black pile grows out o the road the engine is upon them there ia another crackling of hissing engine blowing showers of flame from he stack uprears in the air There is a grind ing noise a horrible sway ing beams and iron rails fail all around and then Ellis throwing wide open the valves tries to pass the feel of intervening space between the tions and the frog from which the rails have been removed The engine strains and tugs sand mud and fly in showers th machine rolls and pitches and at last wit an unearthly roar rears and plunges into th pit and falls upon the timbers of the frog ploughing deep into the ground She readied her goal and Ellis and Granger have obeyed their orders George Ellis sat in the Latest Improved In tlic of Powder No 1 Me pound liy ho case per pound by Hie case mid ively into the pit We were oing about 26 an hour and as the went i down the

hills home The used to extract gold and silver from ores is bj crashing in a then amalgamating But as in the mines where what is generally escapes the in quartz miir the ore contain free gold at all here must be more or less float in the pulp is it comes from the stamp and tins is lost in lie amalgamating pans This float gold is so and thin being more like leaf thaii anything else that it lias no weight and will not sink to where lie mercury has been put As all gold ores any more or less free gold en though tiny re composed of chlorides and he like there ensues a loss in milling which mounts small sum iri the course of a ear It has been estimated that the loss of he Comstock mines from this cause alorie and three millions per car As efforts have been o counteract this and to save the metal The lea of introducing steam into he vaporizing the and sending hat vapor through the mass was tried and bund to answer well as far an the float gold if as concerned fdr the mercurial would come ih contact with tne me ai and form in amalgam at once But with he great mass of the gold would not be caught and it was to reat the pulp a second time in the open pans with the mercury in a metallic state in 6 save this This double was too to be profitable and so the iise of was discontinued Mr Charles Secor has invented and a which bids fair to both this the ore after crushing into a machine which resembles a covered pan more han anything else and introduces steam The first introduction of the is at a iressure of about eighty or ninety pounds This is found to be enough to heat the wiry sending it through the entire moss a of facilitated mechanical action of the shoes at the bottom of this inclosed pan When this has been continued long to take ip all the of the steam is stopped for a while and then it is a much lower pressure and heat than before say five pounds which is to thoroughly and between itself and the During whole of the time be it remembered the slices stirring the up A great advantage claimed for the is conies Voin the stamps to the pans it often gums or sticks together in lumps of stuff which ro- clay and in fact that is just what they are Tlie action of the steam under high iressure is to tear these lumps apart and to the pulp to that extent that every is by itself allowing the gold and silver to come in direct contact with the cury and thereby assuring complete and rapid amalgamation By this method a telluride the mullers awry ing it in perfect with UM It Ii searching for a sure of 80 pounds Is put on thoroughly drive off the sulphate that holds the fold a prisoner That it easy A very heavy will roasted prior to amalgamation by but it will not be necessary to crash the ore fine before roasting Desulphurising in common furnace the ore broken to the size of an egg is alt: that will be re- quired and ore in this way can be roasted in large quantities Very base ores can be el in this machine raw and made to yield bout 70 per cent of fire assay but with assistance of a plain fire treatment in 1011 the will be sufficient to satisfy all men With silver ores this ment u the same except the rery se of chemicals the cost of which It wry inch less than in the ordinary open pan ess The supposition is is cally the ore silver combined with other or minerals in the ore hence the use t times of the addition of fire treatment and for the successful working and leld of silver ores by an amalgamating ess The quantity of steam used in H steam once hrough the pulp with the first pressure on s the largest supply Tlie tion of the pressure through the pipe is to the trifling amount of steam that c in- enses Mr Secor does not claim to treat all mils of ore bj his method but tells us that he oi ores he can and has worked with good yield is sufficient to remunerate him lie says that thr will enable parties to work low grade les at a cost that will yield a profit and that mine owners can have the ores from their mines in quantities of from five to en tons before pui chasing the an Fram j a Hau ia Ouo mi little depot at Somerset Junction on the Delaware next day and laughed derisively at the thought that any one should think he had loud anything

el on more occasions than one having or a long period of time devoted himself to he invention of labor and ices It it claimed that he never perfected an invention that lias not been a complete and made fortunes for the persons it to the public He Is not theori t or castle-builder but a practical scientist in the broadest acceptance of the tei in Of course a man like him lave a speciality and Air Cook's To this he has devoted andis now about bring orth tV fi mt of his labor f All oi his v her inventions hare been re- tn him as auxiliary to grand w oik ol his life and in a short lie proposes to demonstrate to the world the act that icily can be generated in tities sufficient to take the place of all other of utilizing motive power at a merely nominal cost and not only that but it eaa be used in lighting cities and dwellings and or the purposes of supplying beat He re- uses for obvious to divulge means employed to generate the electric ids but our informant has seen him that Mr Cook has solid tions upon w hich to base his faith The teues and other appliances now in vogue are not used aud fiom what could be ered it is thought that the simple As indicating something of the principle upon which invention is to be operated Mr Cook the properties of an magnet or loadstone A million of knives 01 pieces of metal may be charged with the subtile fluid and the magnet loses none of its power but increases in force jind so with ins electric generator it is able so long as the conditions remain un- lie claims by 1 Is invention cities can be brilliantly illuminated as though by a light at less than a hundredth put of the present cost oi lighting by gas fuel will be cheapened proportionately and steam will go out of practical use Mr Cook estimates that he can furnish tlie electricity required to maintain one thousand telegraph stations fifty years for and lean a handsome margin for profits out of Ibis sum lie will be able to supply not but floods oceans of electricity and keep it under control and regulate the ply at points to a nicety And not only all this but he expresses a belief that he will be enabled to navigate space by of machines propelled by the same force and 111 proof ol this he say's that he hat sent chunks ol non through the roof of a ing into the air out of sight and in his ion clear beyond the influence of into the ether beyond He is not confident of his ability to control aerial locomotion bat be hopes to master this branch of tbe sub- ject before he dies The invention will patented this fall and then the world will be able to judge value by practical test The scheme seems to be chimerical Wholly impracticable on nothing for thousand and one other great have been rewarded with before actual practice silenced Mr Cook is a man of
