A MAMMOTH FLUME.
Eighty-Five Feet High and Thirty-Five
Miles Long.

The hume which conveys the water
from the mountains to the reservoir at
San Diego, Cal, is said by those who
know whereof they speak to be the
largest and longest thing of the kind in
the world. It is thirty-fve miles long
and is composed almost wholly of red
wood.
In its course this monster flume
crosses 315 streams and canyons on
trestles, the longest of which is 1,7OO
feet and IS feet. high. The timbers
used in them were put together on the
ground and raised to their present posi-
tion by horse power, says the St. Louis
Republic.
Besides its many trestles, this hume
passes through eight tunnels, the
longest of these being 2,1OO feet in
length. The tunnels are each six by six
feet in size. with convex roofs.
Each mile of the fume required on an
average 250,OO0 feet Of lumber and
timbers of all kinds, that. used in con-
structing the water-box itself being Of
redwood, two inches thick. :.
Building water-tight box thirty-fve
miles long over fathomless chasms and
through the hearts of mountains is
gigantic undertaking which many be-
lieved could not be accomplished. The
result has proved different.

A New English War Ship,

A remarkable fact about the Royal
Sovereign, the latest and perhaps the
most formidable of the English line of
battle ships, is that she has been built
and fully equipped for sea in less than
three years, a feat hitherto unrivaled in
the history of naval architecture. Still
more noteworthy is the fact that the
vessel was completed for 100000 less
than the original estimates. The steam,
gunnery and torpedo trials of the new
sea monster have been made with the
most satisfactory results. With 9,7OO-
horse power the ship made nearly II
knots, and with 1S,300-horse power 1s
knots, or half knot more than the
Trafalgar, which is smaller ship with
similar engines. The Royal Sovereign
attains greater speed with less expendi-
ture of power than any of the vessels
Of the famous admiral" class, and is
greatly superior in this respect to the
italian war ship Lepanto. She is, in
fact, the fastest war ship of her dis
placement and defensive and offensive
qualities in the world, She carries four
67-ton guns, 10 six.inch quick-fring guns,
q number of torpedo tubes, and all
other customary armament. Her value,
with supplies and ammunition on board,
is just about 81 100000.

TO THE PEOPLE OF EMMONS
~. COUNTY.

As we have been having some epldem.
les of diphtheria, typhoid fever, cholera
infantum ard other diseases IN the
county, at various periods during the
summer and autumn, it behooves us to
inquire into the causes of the same, so as
prevent its recurrence.
The past season has been an unusual
one. The spring opened with large
body of snow on the ground, which, when
melted, filled the small lake beds--in
which many of our citizens wells are sit
uated-full of water, which finally washed
all the debris surrounding into the wells,
and, after also carrying the drainage
from the stables into the wells, poison
ing the water used for drinking and for
culinary purposes, ofttimes creating fatal
diseases, and, the lower the water be-
comes in the wells, the more dangerous
the water becomes.
We therefore urge you, as you love
your families, to see to it that all your
open wells are cleaned out aud so banked
up and protected as to prevent any recur-
renee of any epidemic from the same or
similar causes.
We further urge you to carefully read
the circulars from DR.. De Vaux, superin-
tendent of state board of health, and
comply with the suggestions there given,
especially as next year our country will
probably be visited, more or less, by
cholera, and prevention is much easier
than cure.
By order Of the Board of Health.

FROM THE MINES DEPTHS.

In England there are almost 5000
women employed in and about the coal
mines, but it is said that none of the
number works below the surface.
TIE Sheffield cutlery firms, whose
success depends so large on the freedom
from impurities in the iron they use,
have never found better iron than they
obtained from Sweden.
AN Arizona paper announces the finds
ing OF q 14M-pound nugget in the Plan
chas Placers, Sonora, Mex. This is
said to be the largest nugget OF gold on
record. The percentage of pure gold
was 81 fine.
THE most famous mine in Alaska is
the Treadwell, bought by Mr.. Tread
well for $500. Messrs Fry, Freeborn and
Hill, of San Francisco, Senator Jones.
OF Nevada, became equal partners.
Eight hundred thousand dollars have
been spent in improving the mine,
which has already yielded s3,1o9, 1854 in
gold bars.

o AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
When Did Ladies' Begin to Ride Sideways
on Horseback


In a book entitled Remains Concern
ing Bristain," published in 1914, it is
stated that Queen Anne, wife of Rich
ard H., first taught English women to
ride on side saddles, when heretofore
they rode astride. AS late as 1772 Queen
Mariana Victoria, of Portugal, always
rode astride.
There has been some discussion as to
whether this ancient practice should
not be revived, and the side saddle
abandoned, says the Rider and Driver.
In May, 1890, lady, wife Of an English
baronet, appeared in Rotten Row at
tended by her groom and mounted cross
legged.
Her riding habit was not only some-
what longer than the now fashion en-
joins, but longer than the old one as
well, and was simply a very volumin-
GUS divided skirt.
The fashion, however, does not .ap-
pear yet to make much way, although
1t is known that it is not SO uncommon
tor ladies to ride cross saddle as might
be supposed. A curious side saddle is
used by women in Iceland.

AROUND THE GLOBE,

BELGIUM, by adopting Greenwich
time, has stolen seventeen minutes from
old Father Time.
WEAVING was practiced in China
more than 1000 years before it was
known elsewhere.
In South America there is a race Of

Two-THIRDs of the total number of

TIE Red Sea is for the most part blue.
1t gets its name from the fact that por-

malculp which dye the surface of the
water red where they float.
TIE longest canal in the world is the
one which extends from the frontier of
China to st. Petersburg. 1t measures

canal running from Astrachan to St..
Petersburg which is 1,434 miles long.
Both Of these were begun by Peter the

Time by the Stars.

A fairly reliable time indicator, it is
stated, can be found in the northern
skies on every cloudless night. AS is
generally known, the group of fixed
stars called the Clipper makes an ap-
parent revolution around the north star
in every twenty-four hours, with the
two stars forming the outer elevation
Of the bowl of the dipper, pointing nearly
directly to the polar star continuously;
if, therefore, the position of the "point-
ers" is taken at any given hour, say six
o'clock in the evening in winter time.
and as soon as it is dark in the summer,
the hours can thereafter be pretty ac-
curately measured by the eye during
the night. Frequent observations of
position will have to be made at the
given hour as, owing to the constant
changing of the earth's position in
space, the position of the pointers" in
relation to ones point OF observation
and the star also changes. In this way
observations taken during year and
impressed on the mind make very fair
time indicator Of that part Of celestial
space.

A Carpenter Who Made His Way to a

A Carpenter Who Made His Way to a
Judgcship.
A good story is told of United States
senator who began life.as a. carpenter,
says the Youths Companion.
II will not always be carpenter" he
used to declare, for it seems he had set
his heart upon sometime entering the
legal profession. He did not slight his
carpenters work for his day-dreams Of
what he should do and become, but was
noted for his honest, conscientious
labor.
One day the young man was planning
board that was to become a part of a
Judges BENCH" when friend, observ-
ing his painstaking, inquired:
'Why do you take such pains to
smooth that board2'
Instantly the young carpenter replied:
because want a smooth seat when /
come to sit on it,,
His friend laughed, and thought the
joke SO good that he reported it in the
shop, and the young man was bantered
not little about the ''judge's bench"
He always replied, good-naturedly:
"Wait and see. He laughs who wins,
and may sit there yet"
And he did; but the distance between
the carpenters and the judges bench
was paved with heroic struggles and
self-Sacrifice.
