GREAT COAL CONSUMERS.
Immense Amount OF Fuel Used on Large
Ocean Liners.

Ocean steamships consume much
more fuel than the average person is
aware Of. Take for an instance the
vessels Of the Orient line, which make
regular trips between Australia and
Great Britain. The fastest steamer of
that line says the st. Louis Republic,
i the Austral, which makes the voyage
from London to Sydney in 20 days.
During the "trip OUT She never usrs
less than 1850 tons Of coal. and on the
return voyage often as much as 1000
tons. She has three coaling stations,
and bunkers that viii hold 2.1.O tons
without ovcrcrow ding. English-Amcr-
lean liners" like the Oregon consume
$50 tons of coal per day for every day
between Liverpool and New York.
The Sterling Castle went 10 China for
load Of tea. She brought back cargo
Of > 200 tons Of that staple Chinese com
modify. but consumed 5000 tons Of coal
in making the round trip from Liver
pool. Immense stocks OF coal are con
stantly kept on hand at st. Vincent,
Madeira, Port Said. Singapore and other
Oriental coaling stations, there being
often as much as 100000 tons in store

According to the Jewish Talmud,
Lilith. the tabled mother Of demons
was taken to wife by Adam, our first
parent. prior to the appearance of Eve
upon the scene. Being the Legendary
mother of all evil spirits, one would
quite naturally accept the story a
fact when told that she became unman-
ageablc and tried To supcrSede Adam As
lord of all creation. Thwarted in these,
her evil designs, she took 10 the regions
of the air, where, as a specter in the
guise of "a beautiful woman, She lies in
wait for and pounces upon dcfenselcsS
children. Some ignorant European
Jews believe that the beautiful murder

earthly abodcS, waiting with the pa

A. has been limited by the Philadel-

the general title of ''Curiositics About
Teeth" At Yakadarna. Japan, there is
- costly temple built for the sole pur-
pose OF aiforIing a shelter for one of
the grinders of an ancient god of Il GER
tain Iiindoo sect. This palace is known
10y the high sounding title of The
Palace of the Sacred Tooth" and is a
costly ana elegant structure in every
scnsc Of the word.
According to the mythology of India
the god who formerly owned the tooth
pulled il out To hurl it at a gigantic
cobra, when the irrcvercnt serpent had
been 50 indiscreet as To make an attack
upon his godship. In the latter part of
the last century Europeans captured
YaI5aLama and partially destroyed the
tooth palace. The tooth itself, which
had been an object of heathen alteration
for centuries, WAS ground To a powder
and thrown in the river.
But the particles came together, so
the Eiadoo priests SLY, and again
formed themselves into a perfect tooth,
which WAS found after the siege quiet
ly rcposing in the he'd of the stream.
The temple has been rebuilt. and the
tooth, more revered than ever since the
attSiaptcd destruction, is again en-
shrined as an object for alteration. 1t

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.

A special dispatch from Boise state.
that the Democrats are preparing ,
number OF affidavits to spring on the
unsuspect'ng voter in q day or two
and especially on the day of election.
Such afidavits ought not to change
q single vote, unless their allegations
are known to be true.
The issue is made: On ono side is
the Republican party with its policy
of protection to home industries, which
i"sures high wages.
On the other side is the Democratic
party, with its policy OF free trade,
which renders high wages impossible
Standing back of the Democratic is
the Populist ally of that party.
If the voters OF Idaho will vote
either the Democratic or Populist
tickets, they will, if they assist either
party to win power, suffer for i. in
