How Condiments Would Change wero Che
 Ocean to Dry Up.

A mile down the water has pressure of over ton 10 the souaro Inch If box six feet wide wero filled With Sea water and allowed to ovapor- ate under the sun, there would be two Inches of salt left on the bottom. Tax ing the average depth of the ocean to be three miles there would be a layer of pure salt 2SC feet thick on the bed of the Atlantic, The water is colder at the bottom than at the surface. In many bays on the coast Of Norway the water often freezes at the bottom before it does above.
 Waves are very deceptive To look st them in a storm one would think the ~ater travelled. The water stays in the same place. but the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high and travel fifty miles an hour-more than twice as fast as the swiftest steamship The distance from valley to valley Is generally fifteen times the height hence a wave five feet high will extend over seyenty-five feet of water. The force of the sea dashing on Bell Rock is said to bo seventeen tons for each square yard
 Evaporation is a wonderful power in drawing tbe water from the sea. Every year layer of the entire sea, fourteen feet thick, is taken up into the clouds. The winds bear their burden into the land and the water comes down in rain upon the fields, to flow back at last through rivers. The depth of Inc sea presents an interesting problem. If the Atlantic were lowered from G 5G4 feet the distance from shore to shore would be half asereat, or 1, 500 miles. If low cred little more than three miles, say ls,6SO feet. there would be a road of dry land from Newfoundland to Ireland. This is the plan On which the great At lantic cables were laid. The Mediter- ranean is comparatively shallow. 4 drying up of 660 feet would leave three different seas and Africa would be joined with Italy.

 Phil Armour, the great beef king, of Chicago, is short, stocky, far from at tractive in any sense, but singularly happy man who has managed to make big fortune. He cares little for money now, but time was when the loss Of SlOO nearly drove him mad. It was a good many years ago, ir the days of gold on the Pacific slope. Armour was one ot the numberless throng there searching for fortune.
 Fortune paid no heed to him, however, but finally he managed to get somo ''wasbings" that he sold for SlO0. This sum he carefully tied up in an old cot ton handkerchief for safe keeping. Then he hunted around for place to put it. His eye espied an old and dilap- idated coffee-pot in corner of the cabin he occupied with three other seekers for fortune. He put the siOO carefully in it and placed it lovingly on a convenient shelf; then he went about his daily toil. When he returned from work his eye in stinctiyely searched for the old pot 1t was gonel
 One Of his partners had tired of work and come home. He had nothing else to do, so he went to clean house. The old coHee-pot went with the other rub bish, and fire was made of it all in a little elump of bushes near by. Great was the consternation when Armour told what the pot contained. And how carefully he worked over that fire to rescue the pot.

A San Pedro river rancher who had long experience in farming in Illinois and other corn raising states, says the reason that cereal does not flourish on the river is on account of the cool nights. On his authority corn will flourish only in climate where the nights are almost as sultry as the days Tn that kind of climate it grows more rapidly at night than at daytime and he ayers that in passing through fields on unusually hot nights the corn grows 90 rapidly that it can be heard snapping like the gentle crack ing of a thousaad whips.

It IS fact not generally known that there are two varieties of tarantulss in Arizona and New Mexico. This prob ably accounts for the conflicting re- ports about the deadly nature of the Larantula poison. The so-called Texan tarantula is by no means an agreeable bedfellow, but his bite is by no means fatal. The yenomous Texan tarantula in spite of all discussions to the con. trary, does build and live in the trap door spider nest. There seems to be a current idea that the trapdoor spider is harmless which is certainly erron- eous. It uses no web nest, easily cap tsring its prey by extraordinary springs -Mohave Miner.

Two tons Of newspaper were received

Two tons of newspaper were received by the PRosPECToR on Monday last. There is nothing strange about this as f occurs every month in the year. The remarkable part of this particular shipment was the quick time made between Los Angeles and Fairbank. It was shipped on Thursday July 9th, and arrived at Fsirbank on Sunday July I2th. It came by regular freight and was but one day behind express or mail matter. This will-no doubt take the prize for quick transit.

The Choice.

The school trustees appointed the following teachers at their meeting last evening list assistant, Sarah Herring; 2d grade, Carrie McNair sd grade, Maggie Hill; 4th grade Mary Hennessy.
 Miss Herring and Miss Hepnessy are reappointments, while Miss Hill and Miss McNair are new selections Miss Hill is a daughter of A. Hill Oi this city, and is one of the brightest teachers in the county. She taught at Blsbee last year.
 Miss McNair is a sister of Mrs. J. A. ROckfellow. She has taught at Phe- nix and brought to her side many tes, timonials from those who knew of her qualifications.
 The selection of principal was de ferred till a future meeting.
 The salaries of the teachers were cut down to $50 per month.
 The trustees had about one-half the amount to begin the school year wIth this Year that they had last year and concluded that discretion was the bet ter part of sentiment under the cir cumstances. They took the average ss aries paid to teachers in Tucson, Phoenix, Prescott and Florence which are the four largest towns in the terri tory outside of Tombstone, and found it to be SIS. They concluded that placing salaries at $50 would be no hardship as that amount is as high as any district in the territory pays, and higher than most of them pay.

Beware the House Fly.

The house fly begins life fully grown mature aad ready for business. There are no little flies of the same species, the small ones occasionally observed being different in kind from the larger ones The house fly does not bite nor pierce the skin, but gathers it's food by 6 comb or rake, or brush-like tongue, with which 1t is able to scrape the var nish from covers of books, and it thus t3ckles the skin of persons upon whieh it alights to feed upon the precipitation. Although the house fly has no sting 1t is a pest and dangerous one at that It is by nature scavenger, and is vehicle bywhich contagious diseases are spread. It poisons sores and wounds, and may carry deadly virus from decsying or gznic matter into food

The crisis that tries mems soldier mettIe

they stood up in the lone woods and fought
like heroes. Both the regimental color

leader Of the color company, Capt. SWart,
was instantly killed while lifting one Of
the fallen flags. One flag was subsequently
carried by the colonel, IL. j. ALadilI, and
the other by the major. Lieut.. C3l. Wat
