Water Too Much for a Mob.

Right in San Francisco to-day lives q
man who was ringleader of a mob in
Tucson, Arizona, that was foiled in
most peculiar way in an attempt to lynch
a prisoner who was charged with murder
ing pIospector. Court was in session
at the time and the prisoner was confined
IN cell in the Tucson court house,
through the main entrace of which was
the only way of access to the Jail from
the street. An adjournment had been
taken for the day and, as it happened,
the only man left at the court house was
the janitor, a slow, methodical old fellow
named Hand. Rumors had been circu-
lated for several days that an attempt
would be made to lynch the prisoner re-
ferred to, but as no demonstrations had
been made the sheriff had grown care.
less, and had removed the guard. Just
about the dusk of the evening in ques-
ton, the old janitor, who was enjoying a
smoke on the court house steps, saw
mob approaching, and in an instant real
lied its meaning. Slowly removing his
pipe from his mouth, he laid 1t carefully
aside and stepped into the corridor of the
building. A section of fire hose stood
near, and deliberately unreeling it, he
screwed It on to the hydrant and ad-
justed the nozzle. He stood there in
readiness, and when the leader of the
mob reached the doorway he turned the
water on full force. Owing to the great
elevation of the reservoir the pressure is
eaormous, and the stream as it struck the
leader staggered him. He hesitated and
turned to face his companions. That
settled it, and before they could recover
from their surprise every man in the mob
was drenched from head to foot. The
stream seemed to increase IN force and
volume, and one after another the would
be lynchers 1ed. In five minutes not one
of them could be seen in any direction,
and when the sheriff put in an appearance
old Hand had reeled up the hose and
was again seated on the steps smoking
away as if nothing had happened.-San

right caught by very cold wind from
the north, and driven back and up in

blew, and the drops, tossed about in all

balls. When the south wind ceased this
transformation also ceased, but whenever
the south wind recurred the phenomenon
was reproduced, and this was observed

is concerned.

the total population was given at 2,096,-

run usually to agricultural pursuits, and

Stone You Can Bend.

Flexible sandstone is one of the curl
osities found in North Carolina. The
quarries are in the mountains of the
southwestern corner of the State and
the stone is taken out more as n curiosity
than for any other purpose, though it is
sometimes employed in building. When
cut in thin piece, say the size and
shape of common milestone, you can
bend it into considerable arc without
its breaking, and 1t will resume it,
former straightness on the pressure being
removed. OF course, if you bend it toe
far it will break. Globe Democrat.
