Professor Leone Levi of the UnlversLy or Lon¬ 
don believes that the troubles of the Eagll.ih

in cash annually, of which they ought to save 
$75,000,000. As a matter of fact they save only

Gladstone Is disturbed, 
Edison’s visit to Nevada hail given him a new 
Idea. He thinks tb it the size, character, and 
point of croppings of a mineral lode maybe de¬ 
termined by the difference of the conductivity of 
electilclty, provided that the walls of the ledges 
are lined with clay or decomposed rock. He will 
test his theory on the Comstock lode when he re¬ 
turns from California. Should ills plan prove 
practical, instead of running long tunnels, sink¬ 
ing deep shafts, or boring hero and there with 
the diamond drill, a miner would apply the 
electrical apparatus, and thus fluff out how much 
ore there Is In a mine, where it Hep, its direction, 
and the point where Its cropping may be looked 
Tor. 
John Brown, the trusted servant 01 the Quosu, 
Is said to owe his popularity to the fact that 
the majority of English servants, from the palace 
to the plain residence In England, are great 
sticklers about their proper duties, it the Queen 
has to gouny where, have anything done from get¬ 
ting a cup of tea to the packing of a trunk, from 
the selection of a horse to the purchasing ot a 
book, John Brown is always on hand, ready, able, 
aud willing to bouucl over all the barriers or red 
tape and formal deportments, and get and do 
hese things, or see that they are dune promptly 
and properly. By this readluesa aud untiring ab¬ 
end unco he lias ingratiated lilraaeir with the 
good Queen, who fully values hia honest energy 
and Integrity, and who has thus made him her 
avorlte gillie.
