Cities Warmer than the Country.

Those who happen to live little dis
lance from the heart of a city, says sci
ence, must frequently have noticed n
lack of accord between the readings of
their own standard thermometers and
the published observations of the signal
service observer of their locality. The
reason of the discord is plain, VIZ, the
perturbing action of the heat which the
city emits; and, however gratifying it
may be to the outsider to find himself SUI
perior to the government observers, it is
very little to the credit of the weather
bureau that this particular source of
error was not long since recognized and
avoided. The remarks of Professor
Whitney on this subject, rs applied to
observations made at London, are peril
nent and convincing. He says: ut is a
we'll. known fact that cities are consider
ably warmer than the more thinly inhab-
tied country, otherwise under similar
climatic conditions. Statistics prove
this to be true; and there could be no
doubt that such would be the effect Of
an immense aggregation of population
within a limited space even if there were
no statistics bearing on this question.
Many millions of tons of coal are burned
in and about London during every year
and the whole mass OF brick of which
the city is built is heated during the en-.
tire winter, and more or less during the
summer many degrees above the natural
temperature. There can be no question
that conditions such as are here indi.
Gated vitiate all observations made in or
near large cities, with view to the de-
termination of any possible secular vari-
alton of the temperature"

A Fortune Made by q Wooden Hat.

Many persons upon whom fortune
does not smile. or who wish to be rich
very quickly, think that nowadays it is
not possible for simple man to get to
the top Of the tree, because all occupa-
tions are so overstocked, and there are
already too many people in the world.
That this opinion is false one, and
that the right man can always do some
thing for himself, II he has the real stun
in him and perseveres, the following
true story proves:
In the year 1926 apoor journeyman
turner named Muhle, in WORKOUT thoes,
through which his bare toes projected /,
with knapsack on his weary back. ar
rived at little village not far from
Colmar, in Alsace. In this village Was
an engine factory, in which our work
man had come to look for employment.
But the poor fellows ragged. miserable
appearance did not tell in his favor, and
the master of the factory at once sent
him about his business.
Our journeyman turned away, and
sadly and despondently went out OF the
door; but he had scarcely placed his hat
ON his head, when from the olice within
he heard the master OF the factory calling
him back. He returned 10 the factory,
and the proprietor asked him: what in
TIE name OF wonder 10 that kind Of hat
which yoa wear?"
"It il my own. and turned out Of
wood"
"Whati A wooden hatl I must ex-
amino il little closer. Whore did you
buy iti"
II did noA buy Il, made Il myself.

A Charming Example.

Some six months ago prominent
young Mormon was married to young
lady of this city. 1t is SAID that within
the past fow days, without the knowledge
of his wife, this man took another
woman through the Endowment House
that the wife is frantic. and is only re-
strained from commencing suit for di-
vorce through the influence of her father
and the bulldozing of the church au-
thorities. This is case which is worth
the best efforts of the News to explain.
It has often been asserted that the free
dom of women in their sphere was per-
feet in this territory, and that so devoted
are they that they entirely concur when
their husbands desire to change home
into harem. 1t frequently points to
the perfect happiness of the homes Of
Utah, and to the higher life which true
Saints enjoy. We beg to expatiate upon
this particular case. We suggest that It
get a statement from this young wife, in
her worse than widowhood, and publish
it, that the world may have another con-
vincing proof of the perfect truth Of the
gospel. We cannot perfectly judge q
thing from statement of one side of the
case; for manifest reasons the statements
of women who years ago were drawn
into polygamy are not altogether I'M
biased, but what this young girl, not yet
year bride, would say, would be Of
real interest. Turning to the other side,
the question again comes up. what kind
of a God must the Mormon God be who
demands as the price of woman's saliva
ton that her heart shall be broken?
Cannot the false priests of this shameless
creed see that it is going to be merely
question OF time when their system will
be crushed by its OVID infamies, il they
persist in their present course? What
will ever again give this young woman
the slightest trust in either man or God2
From dream Of happiness she suddenly
wakes to find that the man in whom all
her faith rested has, while she is yet but
q bride, through the dictation of tiends
without and the fiend of lust in his own
heart, betrayed, deceived and disgraced
her. We tell these juggling fiends that
they must change or else they must put
out the electric light, Danish the school
teachers, tear up the railroad tracks,
and, banishing all other newspapers.
compel their people to daily read the
Desert News, or they will soon be lost /;
for when restitution for all their crimes
and spoilations is demanded they will
pray to the rocks and the mountains to
fall upon them and hide them from the
wrath of the people they have, in the
name of religion. 80 trampled upon and

A Premature Decision.

Hearing 80 much Of courts and seeing
30 many lawyers recently reminds us Of
an incident that our congressman, Hon.
Seab. Reese, used TO tell OF while solicit
or-general on this judicial circuit.
The superior court was in session in
one of the lower counties OF the circuit,
and the solicitor, with the counsel for
defense, was engaged in the selection Of
q jury for the trial Of q man charged
with murder.
As is usual in such cases, some diff
Guilty WAS experienced in obtaining
jury, and the court was getting tired OF
such tedious proceedings.
~'Call the next juror, Mr.. Clerk, said
the solicitor, for the hundredth time.
The clerk called out the man, and an
old man with an honest face and suit
of blue jeans clothes rose up In his place
and the solicitor asked the following cus-
tomary questions:
Have you, from having seen the
crime committed, or having heard any
Of the evidence delivered under oath,

guilt or innocence Of the prisoner 1t the

on your mind for or against the prisoner
at the bar?'
None, sir"
as your mind perfectly impartial be-
tween the state and the accused?"
"It is"
care you opposed to capital punish
ment?"
I'm not"
All the questions had been answered
and the court was congratulating Itself
on having another juror, and the solicit
or in solemn tones said:
Juror, look upon the prisoner; pris-
oner, look upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his spectacles
aud peeringly gazed at the prisoner for
full half minute, when he turned his
eyes towards the court and earnestly said ::
Judge, I'll be condemned if l don't
believe he's guilty.
1t is useless to add that the conrt was
considerably exasperatod at having lost Al
juror, but the more humorously inclined
had good laugh out of the old mans
premature candor.

"But you hat is oval, and on the turn

The manufacturer was struck, for he
saw that poor Muhle had by himself dis
covered difficult problem in the art of
turning, which in the mechanics of the
present day has become of such great i'm
portance. He recognized the immense
value of the discovery, and ut once took
the poor fellow into his employ. He
soon found out that Muhle was not only
a very clever workman and turner, but
real genius. too, who only required
further instruction and guidance.
And so it turned out Muhle entered
the business; in due time he became

death he was sole proprietor. At his
death he left fortune of millions. His

Origin Of Rent.

The wrongs of Ireland began long ago,
but as not one of them has ever been for
gotten, it is necessary for remedial legis.
lators to study the very commencement
of sorrows. The trouble began with
Breas Mac Chatham, one of the Tuatha de
Danand kings. This oppressive and lie
tested prince invented rent, which he,
first of all men, imposed upon ireland.
To the conscience Of Mr.. Gladstone this
information must bring genuine relief.
Not the English. not even the Normans,
but Breas Mac Elathan. a genuine Celt,
was the inventor Of rent. The rent-pay-
ing tribes ss they are humorously
called, for "No Rent" WAS their motto)
are known to history AS Aithech Tuatha.
These words may be translated "Plebi-
ans" or "Giants," as you please, such is
the latitude of Celtic philology. But
the people of Breas Mac Elathan were, in
their turn, conquered and compelled to
pay rent by the Scots, or Milesians, and
SO it has been going on ever since. The
first No-Rent manifesto was issued by
the contemporary Parnell about A. d. 9
or 10, for the date is not absolutely GER.
tain. The landlords were massacred, ali
but few that escaped, at Magh Gro or
the Bloody Plain, where they had been
presiding at tenants dinner. The next
great murder entirely was A. -. ST, when
Fiacha Finnfolaidh was slain at the mas
sacre of Magh Bolg. Ireland was al
ways lively place, even before the days
of Strongbow.-London Graphic.
