Jones, of Mexico, Mo., is con structing a model of an invention that will revolutionize the world and startle such electricians as Thomas A. Edi son. Mr. Junes has invented a machine that will ultimately do away with both steam and electricity, and instead run engine* and all kind* of machinery, with either coin pressed air or water. tlH a hydraulic engine, TfYiT'tfl nt- tached to the regular steftm engine by a valve that lets the air into the boiler, Imagination Killed Her. A remarkable instance of the bold su perstition lias upon the mind of even the educated and religious was recently exhibited in the case of Mrs. Rebecca Byrnes, of Helena, Ark., a lady noted for her intellectual attainments and pious life.

Over each layer he sprinkles watihk with a pine top, and after doing this Uhive* it for nearly three dav*. The stamqd and blue cotton when taken out is clean and white and the staple as gomPa* ever. Tiie cotton when packed in this manner generates heat which removes the stains, and the former is saved the iTfn>‘\-7iTTrH-ni?fchafft w ho whs detained,by business in A'm- srerdnm, came to a group of men stand ing around a well into which a strong ly built man -huTi just been let down.

By this means an engine can be easily controlled or governed as if by steam, and run at an almost trivial co*t. Mr. Jones, the inventor, has a model that has been tried to his satis faction, and he is now' constructing one iu this city 12 by 14 expressly to secure a patent. The inventor claims that in a year there will be very few engines in this country run by steam. Tin; model as shown is one of neatness, and is the simplest piece of machinery in exis tence. The hydraulic pumps In con nection will stand tiie pressure of over 700 pounds of compressed air or water to the square inch and the inventor claims that it can be made to stand a pressure even greater than this. Mr. Jones says people may call it a fake ami all such, but said he: “An incessant study of twenty years on this subject has at last revealed to me the secret of invention that will no doubt startle the universe, and after trying my machine to my own delight I am ready to say to the world that per petual motion has been solved ” Mr. Jones is 41 years old, a native of Y r irginia, aged a farmer by occupation. He moved to Lincoln Gounty, this State, and about three months ago from there to Mexico, where he at present is located. He h:u worked jMpt eight , mouths upon the present model of the machine he is now constructing, and says that in a few days he will give an exhibition of his invention, that thb people may be their own judge* as to the accuracy of his assertions. ^ that she had a dream, in which her hus band, who had been dead for nearly fif teen years, had warned her that she had only ten days more of life.

Her friends attempted to reason with her and to point out tiie folly of placing such perfect confidence in a dream, but all to uo purpose, for the lady persisted in asserting that she would depart from earth on such a day and exactly at a certain hour. Her pastor remonstrated with her, and oven brought tiie severest censure to hear on her superstitious credulity, and at last Mrs. Byrnes ceased to speak of the matter, so that her family had begun to tiiipk that she had conquered her fancy. She con tin tied in gobd health and pursued hey usual daily life, bur. just before the hour she had predicted would be that of her death she sbMght her children and bade them good-bye, then seating herself quietly in an arm chair, expired just as the hour was struck.

Only in two cases have argentiferous ashes been met with. The sample was obtained during an eruption of Cotopaxi in July, 1885, in the ashes of which Mr. J. W. Mulct proved the existence pf one part of sil ver in 83.000 parts of ashes. In the fol lowing year the same investigator was able to add a second instance. In Janu ary, 1886, a violent eruption of Tun;, gnragua, in the Andes of Ecuador,- be tween fifty and fifty-five miles from Cotopaxi, took plaoe, the* eruption con tinuing at longer or shorter intervals up to November of the same year. . The ashes thrown by this volcano, which had been at rest for over a century, contained silver to the extent of one part in 168,200 pans of ashes. This ap- fall f.pear>, at first sight, to be only a very small percentage of the metal; but when it is considered what enormous quanti ties of ashes are erupted, and what a vast extent at area they.cover after an eruption, the quantity of silver thrown up with them must be considerable, - Butte Inter-Mountain. »nd /early incraasinf. loaded wi“ lesarar Mix MIIU . _ Whj?
