Gypsies Who Work.

The kair rajahs, or town gypsies of
Spain, who are always held in the
greatest contempt by members of row.
ing bands, are now in Spain, develop
ing aptitude for labor in many of the
lowly callings of the town. The street
harpists, the public guitar players, she
with the tambourine or castanets, are
gypsies. The ballet have them.
Those who travel from door to door
selling geugaws and relics are gypsies.
the jockeys at horse markets, every
tinker in Spain, many of the cocheros
and footmen, the rat catcher, the bird
trainer and many OF the sellers of
sweets, the dulceros, are gypsies. The
"show- -gypsies," of Granada and Sc
vile, thousands in number, are genuine
members of the race, but are held in
greater loathing by the better GLASSES
of their own iace than by the Span
iar1s themselves.
Another vocation, always most pop

attention of Spanish gypsies. Their,

Palestine Explo rations.
REPORT THAT THE PROPHET IsAIAH,s
TOMB MAY BE FOUND.

The quarterly statement of the
Palestine Exploration Fund, which
has just been issued, although it does
not record any extraordinary discov-
cry, yet describes much interesting
work that is in progress. Two cis-
terms have been found near the Da-
mascus gate, the smaller of which
would contain about 5000 skins of
water. 1t is entirely hewn in the rock,
and before it was made into a cistern
was rock-cut Jewish tombs. In the
rock ceiling is a square IS by Is feet
very nicely worked, with kind of
cornice around it exactly as in the
tombs of the kings.
BY the excavations made on the
eastern brow of Zion it has been found
that there were in ancient times caves
and dwellings, excavated in the rock,
which in later times we,e converted
into cisterns. Herr Schick describes a
church which has been discovered in
the village of Silwan, which has been
hewn in the rock and which contains a
Greek inscription in which the name of
the Prophet Isaiah is mentioned. Herr
Schick thinks it probable that Isaiah's
tomb may be under this chapel and
hopes by further digging to find an
entrance to the cave which is under
the rocky court and is at present full
OF earth, and to discover rock-cut
tOmbs. He thinks that the rock-cut
chambers of the church were Jewish
tombs before the Christian era and
that afterwsrd they were converted in,
to chapels by the Christians.

Artificial Light.

OF the minor illuminats we have had
in the course Of the last century, alco-
hol, napbtha, benzine, camphene and
gasoline may be mentioned.
In 1908 a Frenchman discovered the
process by which water-gas was made.
In 1876 Professor Lowe established
the first works in the United States.
Natural gas has been known and ex-
tensively used in China and other
parts in Asia for many centuries, and
history tells us of natural gas well in
France in the time of julius Caesar. It
was first discovered in the United
States near Pittsburg, about fifty years
ago, but il is only Of late years that it
has been extensively utilized.
Petroleum has been known since the
dawn of history. For number of
years IL was known to the Indians and
early settlers as Seneca oil, and used
as medicine, chiefly as a liniment.
When prehistoric man discovered
that oil would burn, and, by means of
wick, light could be had, he must
have thought the perfection of light
was obtained. Yet what a wretched
light it wasl Put lamp wick in a
cup of lard-oil, set fire to one end and

The use of whale oil originated with
the Norwegians, and as early as 1860
the Dutch had 200 vessels in the bust
ness of catching whales. As late as
1858 the Americans had 600 vessels
engaged in the fishery.
Gas then began to effectually dis
place whale oil. In 1907 number of
London streets were lighted with gas,
and about ten years later Q816) it was

Facing A Deficiency.

President Harrison, according to
one of his faithful organs, ''has be-
come alarmed on account of the many
and large appropriations for public
buildings and other purposes" Ii is
intimated that he may "feel compelled
to interpose official objections to ex-
cessive appropriations"
This is what a Democratic Presid-
snt did, and for dong which he was
roundly abused by the Republican Or
ators and organs. Can it be possible
that Benjamin Harrison is to initiate
his predecessor aud interpose his veto
to prevent the execution of his party's
policy to promote prosperity and make
every body happy by diitributing the
Surplus among the peoplef 1t Is in
| credible.
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Har-
rison sneered at the Democrats for
having "magni6ed and nursed the
Surplus The Republicans pursued
the opposite policy. They have dimin-
ished and mortgaged the Surplus. And
it is too late for the president to stop
the excessive liberality" even if he
were disposed to do it.
That there is reason for the Presi-
dents alarm is obvious. BY his
organs own showing the revnues of

The Weather For May.

| Rev. Irl II. Hicks, in his Word dnt
Works, has the following weathe
predictions for May:
| The distance originating the last oi
April will reach It's climax about th,
lst and I'd of May. 1t will be very
warm between April goth and May All
not covering the whole country at the
same time, of course, but starting in
the west and causing high temper.
ature, by turns, over the whole contin.
ent in its progress to the East. Storms
of much energy will result after tho
same progressive order, with very
cool wave following in their wake, and
reaching the Atlantic about the night
of May 3cd. The reactionary move
ments will be central on the 9th, touch
ing the 5th and 7Lh in their Eastward
progress with rising high temperature
and storms. The regular fall of tenn
perature will follow, in all probability
reaching the frost line in the North
about 9th, 7th or Sth.
The second marked storm period for
May is from the 10th or 18th. Mer.
curry and "Vulcan' are both central on
the 18th. The equinox of Mars reach
ing forward from the 26th, has come
upon the field, and the moons last
quarter is on the forenoon of the 1lth.
These factors, combined with the fact
that we have not yet passed out of the
Jovau period, unless there are neutral
izing forces in the combination un-
known to us, indicate storms of very
great energy about the 11th, 18th, 18th
and 14th. Within the limits here
given, dangerous storms are more than
liable 70 cross the country, jeopardiz.
ing property and lives. Should such
arise there will be timely tokens of
the approach, and ample time for all
proper and prudent self-defence, to
those who count the subject of suffi-
cient Importance to watch. Of course
the usual cool wave will follow the
storms-this time full-grown one
gradually surrounding its grip for the
reactionary storms on and next to the
18th. There will be good reasons for
watchfulness, when clouds appear
about the 18th and 10Th. Very cool
nights will follow.
The last regular storm period for the
month will be from the 22d to 26th.
There is much tendency to an aggra-
waited atmospheric condition, at times,
when the moon is at her first quarter,
which falls on the 26th, with the
equinox of Mars. Hence this period
will concentrate its force on its last
days, or will be prolonged beyond its
normal time, in continued rains up to
the reactionary movements on and
about the goth.
The outlook for May is that there
will be heavy and general rain falls,
with much cool weather, rising into
abuormally high temperatures during
the passage of storm centers on and
about the danger days. Earthquake
phenomena will result about the same
times, the most probable being about
the 18th and 10th.

The Pocket Oonferree Fraud.

About this time in each year that
brings Congressional elections around,
small politicians do thriving trade in
pocket conferrees. A Congressional
district that contains two or more
counties, is next to certain to have
candidate who presents and presses
himself in every county. He may be,
aud often is, utterly untitled for the
place, and would not be seriously
thought of as a candidate if there was
any probability of his county winning
the county nomination; but good men
won't trade In pocket conferrees, and
little men and blatant knaves often get
the field to them selves in their own
counties simply because of the hope
lessness of the movement.
But these petty pocket conferree
traders understand their vocation bet
ter than do the people whose authority
they barter in. They force the party
of their county to give them recon-
mendation for Congress, either with
power to select their own conferrees or
they are permitted to dictate their con-
ferrees to the local convention. Thus
equipped with county to trade on,
they play-first to get the nomination
that nobody wants for them, it trickery
and confusion shall happen to favor
them, and second, to sell out for the
highest price in cash or approved politi-
cal obligations. Such is the game of
the small politician who plays the
pocket conferree fraud.
Both parties In the State nave suffer
ed incalculable disturbance and fte-
quent defeats solely because of the
petty pocket conferree trader. We
have known Congressional candidates
to scoop in pocket conferrees and sci
them out for position in the docu
ment cellar in Washington. A recent
removal of gallant soldier from at
interior post office before the expiration
of his term was enforced by Goa
gresham who obtained his nomination
by trading the post office to a candi
date in the same district for his pocke
conferrees: and there are very many
illustrations of serious aud long part,
complications resulting from the sa'
or trade of the petty owners of count
pocket conferrees.
All parties should take bold stan,
against this demoralizing speculatio
in pocket conferrees by small locs
politicians. In no instance should an
party ever give to a candidate the cor
troll of county conferrees. If tn
people really desire the nomination o

The Seven Devils Earthauake.

A great deal has been said IN the papers
the past few weeks regarding an earthquake
in the Seven Devil country, in Idaho. The
proprietor of the Statesman, who has re-
Gently returned from an extended prospect
ing trip to that country. throws the follow
ing light upon the subject: He says that
he and Mr.. J. B. Evans, who, by the way,
is q cousin of Senator Allen, and who felt
the so.called earthquake, were coming
down the high mountains from the mines
and in order to make cutoff, sent their
riding horses ahead with the pack animals
and put right down the mountain to reach
Garnet creek. Upon arriving there their
passage was obstructed by an immense
mass of snow and trees, which was nothing
more than tremendous avalanche, which
filled the gulch for over two miles, and
without doubt caused the trembling of
the eerth which was felt for five miles each
way from the spot where 1t occurred. Mr..
Parker describes the scene as terrific and
well worth seeing, for the snow and trees
were piled mp for forty or fifty feet. The
trees were torn up and swept down bodily
for long distance, and had there been any
houses there they must have been destroyed
with all their occupants, for nothing could
have saved them. 1t ended about mile
