                                DEMAND NOTE


  $25,000 USD                                        Date: August 8, 1999


       FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned promises  to pay to the  order
  of Dr. J. W. Stucki (the "Payee"), at such place as holder of this note
  will designate, in lawful money of the United States of America, and as
  hereinafter  provided,  the  principal  sum  of  twenty  five  thousand
  dollars, with no interest on the part of a said principal amount.

       The Principal of  this Note will  be payable in  sixty days or  as
  otherwise agreed to between  Payor and Payee.   The Payor reserves  the
  right to deduct any portion of the payment from debt owed to Payor. The
  undersigned will have the right and  privilege of prepaying all or  any
  part of this note at any time without notice or penalty.

       In no event will the aggregate  of the interest on this note,  and
  any other amounts paid by the undersigned in connection with this  note
  which would under Applicable Law be deemed "interest," ever exceed  the
  maximum amount  of  interest  that,  under  Applicable  Law,  could  be
  lawfully  charged  on  this  note,  The  holder  and  the   undersigned
  specifically intend  and  agree  to limit  contractually  the  interest
  payable of  this note  to not  more than  an amount  determined at  the
  Maximum Rate.  Therefore, none of the  terms of this note will ever  be
  construed to create a contract to pay  interest at a rate in excess  of
  the Maximum  Rate, and  neither the  undersigned nor  any other  liable
  parties here for will  ever are liable for  interest in excess of  that
  determined at the Maximum  Rate, and the  provisions of this  paragraph
  control over  all other  provisions of  this note.   If  any amount  of
  interest taken or received  by the holder hereof  will be in excess  of
  the maximum  amount  of  interest that,  under  Applicable  Law,  could
  lawfully have been  collected on  this note,  then the  excess will  be
  deemed to have been the result  of a mathematical error by the  parties
  hereto and  will  be  applied  as a  credit  against  the  then  unpaid
  principal amount on the note or  refunded promptly to the  undersigned,
  at the holder's  option.   All amounts  paid or  agreed to  be paid  in
  connection with  the indebtedness  evidenced by  this note  that  would
  under Applicable Law be deemed "interest" will, to the extent permitted
  by  Applicable  Law,  be  amortized,  prorated,  allocated  and  spread
  throughout the full term of this note.

       "Applicable Law" means the applicable law, if any, of the State of
  Texas or of the United  States of America in  effect from time to  time
  which lawfully then permits the charging and collection of the  highest
  permissible lawful nonusers rate  of interest on  this note.   "Maximum
  Rate" means  the maximum  lawful nonuser's  rate of  interest, if  any,
  which under Applicable Law the holder hereof is permitted to charge the
  undersigned on this note from time to time.
