seventy-rwo Hundred swaIIov,.

The summer swallows, whose grace
full fight through the air is the per-
fection of aerial navigation, are be-
ginning to gather in flocks prepara-
tory to their departure for the south.
They can be seen flying in clouds
above the country barns or resting
on the telegraph wires-their favorite
resort. Recently, near South Wethers-
field, twelve lengths" of wire 0he
reach between two poles were seen to
be just covered with swallows, stand
ing along on the line as close as
they could. Counting the number
on short distance of the wire,
and calculating from that how
many there were altogether, the OBJ
servers figured out that there must
be at least seven thousand two hun
dred in that one gathering.-Hart-

Making Muiumies.

La Casas describes the Peruvian
burial rites as follows: "The dead are
wrapped in the skin of the llama, then
clothed and deposited in sitting pos
turc. The doors of the tombs, which
are all toward the east, are then closed
with stone or clay. AT the end of a
year, when the body becomes dry,
the doors are again opened. There is
no bad odor, because the skins in
which the body are placed are sewn
up very closely and from the cold
they soon become rnummies. Sci

'sThere are three things" said an
old philosopher, (which a woman
should be like and at the same time
totally unlike.
''In the first place she should be like
a.snail, because the snail is always TO
be found in his house. And she
shouldn't resemble this singular crea-
tare, because he puts everything that
he has in the world upon his back.
Again, she should be like an echo,
because the echo speaks only when IT
is spoken to. and unlike it, because
the echo is always bound TO have the
last word
'Once more. woman should be
like the town clock, in that she should
keep regular hours, and be exact in
all things. And, unlike the town
clock, she should not let her tongue
be heard throughout the town. ~

A French paper notes that the mem
bers of a distinguished family of Ii
mousin, when about the age of 90, de-
velop round tuft of white hair over
the forehead, albeit the rest of their hair
may be black, brown or red. The por-
traits of their ancestors for many gen.

mark. of which the descendants are

A Romeo who Does Chores.

There is said to be a young man at
West Newton, Pa, who, when he goes
to see his girl, is compelled to split
wood, carry in coal, run errands and
work in the garden, by the girl's mo-
ther before he is allowed to do any
courting. We should think that when
he had all these tasks accomplished it
would be time to go home To break
fast; but perhaps he is permitted to
remain until the morning meal is pre-
pared and is made to help his girl wash
the dishes. He says he won't kick SO
long as the old woman doesn't send the
girl to bed and insist upon being
courted in her place.-Norristown

Artificial Sponges.

A new sponge industry is being de-

outcome of experiments by Professor
Oscar Schmidt, of Styria. Professor
Schmidt planted in favorable spots
very small cuttings of live sponge,

Degrees of the Human Voice.

A very remarkable discovery has
recently been made by lady who has
for some time been making expert
ments to ascertain the degrees of in
tensity in note, when sung by the
human voice. While testing the ca
pability of the ''phoneidescope," which
registers the air waves produced by
the vibration of the voice, the idea
struck her, that, if more sensitive
substance were used, the disturbance
of the air could be more accurately
registered. After many attempts, she
succeeded in finding the substance
which she was in search OF. and her
anticipations proved correct. On this
substance, Mrs. Hughes spreads thin
layer of colored powder The mem
brane is then placed in the bottom of
a kind of trumpet, into which the note
IS sung. The powder, according to
the quality of the note. diffuses itself
into the most wonderful shapes, which
are then transferred to glass by an
other process. The forms of flowers
and plants seem to be the most usual.
The discovery is attracting much at
tention among scientific men.-Young

When Napoleon / was crowned
King of Italy at Milan in 1905, he
placed the iron crown of the Kings of
Lombardy upon his head with his
own hands, exclaiming, ''Dieu me Ia
donne, gare qui la touche" Good
has given it to me, beware who touch
es'1. This, according to Scott, was
the motto attached to the crowa by its
ancient owners.
The crown takes its name frasn the
narrow iron band within it. which is
about three-eighths of an inch broad
and one-tenth of an inch in thickness.
Tradition says that it was made out of
one of the nails used at the crucifixion.
and given to Constantine by his mo
ther. Helena, the discoverer of the
cross, to protect him in battle. After
wards it was used in the coronations Of
the Lombard kings primarily at that
of Agilulfus, at Milan, in the year
591. The crown is kept in the cathe-
dral of Monza. The outer circuit is
composed of six equal pieces of beat
en- gold, joined together BY hinges,
and set with large rubies, emeralds
and sapphires, on a ground Of blue
gold enamel. Within the circuit Is

Gotham's Latest Fad.

Cleanliness of Egyptians.


The higher and middle class of Egyp-
tian Moslems are scrupulously clean
Their religion compels them to wash
themselves frequently, and thereby pre-
serve their health. But the foreigner will
see in the streets of Cairo q richly dressed,
veiled lady, whose person is as clean as
frequent and prolonged bathing can make
it, leading by the hand a little child with
a face besmeared with dirt, and with
clothes which look as if they had been
worn for months without being washed.
The reason for this strange inconsist-
ency is that an unwashed and stability
dressed child is believed to be less liable
to the dreadful evil eye.
Another Inconsistency is that an Egyp-
tian will go again and again to the bath
in the same dirty shirt. He will wash
himself thoroughly, will be "shampooed"
from head to foot, and then put on that
dirty shirt. because his ideas of cleanliness
do not extend to his linen.

[Demorest's Monthly.l
Great hopes were entertained a few
years ago that the inclosing of green fod.
der in "silos, so as to keep feed fresh
during the winter months, would revolu-
tioniZe the whole business of caring for
stock. Ensiage promised to make the
feeding of cattle in cold regions as mex
pensive-as in climates where there is no
winter. In other words, it was to do for
cattle feed what the canning of pro.
visions, vegetables and fruit did for the
food of man.
The method employed was to pack the
fodder very closely, SO that the air would
not get to it, but it was found that the
feed soured and injured the milk,
butter and cheese made from the cows
that were fed on it Mr.. George Frye has
just written book showing how ensilage
can be made and kept sweet and
fresh. Under his system it is not packed
close, and the fermentation is permitted
to go on. The mass is heated up to 100
degrees. which kills the bacteria and then
the fodder is as good and wholesome as if
fed fresh in summer time. This is a mat
ter of the greatest moment to all regions
Of the earth where the winter seasons are
long and severe, for with sweet ensiage
cattle can be bred and kept in northern
regions as cheaply as on the plains Of
Texas This will revolutioniZe stock
raising and largely increase the value of
northern agricultural lands

Mr.. Richard Mansfield White wires
the New MEXICAN from Washington that
an able argument opposing the free entry
Of Mexican lead ores was made before the
treasury department yesterday by Con-
gressman +. II. Carter, of Montana.
This was followed by the taking Of expert
testimony as to how large quantities of
lead extracted in Mexico were shipped
into the United States under the guise
Of "silver ores"
Col. +. a. Blake returned this morning
from the great carbonate gold and copper
district Of San Pedro and Golden, and
states that he devoted four days OF last
week to a critical examination of the
special locality in which the recently de-
veloped Lucky" bonanza is located. He
states that the Lucky property now shows
in one Of the tunnels face OF ore fifteen
feet vertically. Two car loads day are
being shipped from Cerrillos to the Bill
ing smelter at SocorrO. Work on the
mines is being pushed so as to secure
facilities that will enable the owners to
largely increase the output Of ore. -Four
other properties in the district, with slight
development, now show the same char
acter of ores that originally led to the dis
covery of this great body in the Lucky
and there are many Others that bear the
same surface ndiCations.-Optic.

ARGUING THE WRITS.


the matter OF Coler VS.. the Santa Fe
county board was argued and submitted
to Judge Whiteman yesterday afternoon.
The court has taken it under advisemcnt
until Saturday morning, at which time
will be decided the question whether the
refunding law is in its nature mandatory
or merely leaves it to the option of the
county commissioners to act in the prem
Uses.
Messrs. Knaebel and Victory yesterday
brought up the alternative writ of man
damus against Messrs. WHY'S and Mar
tinez requiring them to recognize DR..
Sloan as county commissioner or appear
and show cause for their refusal to do so.
At the request of Mr.. Fiske, who desired
to examine the papers in the case, all
action was postponed until to-day. When
the matter came up at 10 o'clock
Messrs. Gildersleeye and Laughlin
appeared as attorneys for Messrs.
WHY'S and Martinez and asked to have
it further postponed to o'clock this al
ternoon. Mr.. Fiske said this afternoon
that he had examined the papers and had
returned them because those interested
failed to come forward with the necessary
retainer fee. The case came up this after
noon and was argued by Messrs. Knaebel
and Victory on behalf Of DR.. Sloan,
and Messrs. Gidersleeve and Laughlin
for Commissioners WHY'S and Martinez

NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN.


a dispatch from Washington announc-
es that the U. :. supreme court has
handed down decision in the case of
Wallace Douglas VS.. Chas. u. Lewis,
affirming the judgment OF the New Mex
lco supreme court with costs opinion by
Chief Justice Fuller. This is case that
came up to the territorial supreme court
from Bernalillo county. II appears that
Lewis had sold Douglas lG) acres OF land
near Albuquerque for upward Of 5000,
and had placed the buyer in possession
thereof, 1t was Il warranty deed that
passed, and the land was part Of Il
grant in which Lewis had an interest
as heir. The original papers
to the grant had been taken from the
home OF Lewis ancestors during the war
OF the rebellion by confederate soldiers
and had been DESTROYED. Nobody set up
claim to the land bought by Douglas,
and his possession Of it was not disturbed,
but he conceived the idea that the land
was part of the public domain, that Lewis
had no grant interest covering it and that
Lewis had no right to sell him the land.
On this plea he brought suit to recover
the purchase money. The court decided
that he could not bring such suit as long
as his rights under the purchase were
not questioned and so long as he
continued in peaceable possession OF the
land, therefore Mr.. Lewis comes out first
best Whether the validity of the grant
was touched upon in the case can not at
this time be stated, but it would be interest
ing to know this as the decision may have
highly important bearing on other grant
lands in the territory. 1t is said large
numberof holdings near Albuquerque are
affected by this decision.

STRUCK A SNAG.
A New Bridge Across the Rio Santa Fe-
Street Right OF Way Wanted.

Mr.. Z. N. Reaser went out among the
citizens yesterday in the interest Of new
bridge over the Rio Santa Fe on Don
Gaspar Ortiz street, and in about an
hour he raised $3.50 toward it. 1t was
fully intended to begin at once and build
this bridge, az its Importance is felt by
every man having business at the capitol,
but to-day the enterprlsing men having
the thing in hand Unexpectedly struck a
snag that may cause long delay, with the
chances decidedly in favor of no new
bridge. 1t was thought that right OF way
for extending the street through from the
capitol grounds to Manhattan avenue
had been obtained, or, at least
promised by the lady who owns the land,
but this turns out to be n mistake. A
barbed wire fence has recently been
erected about the land and shuts off
any communication with the south side
by that outlet. Ii this right OF way can be
secured without difficulty and delay the
bridge enterprise will be pushed ahead, if
i can't then it will be dropped.
