A San Diego, CAL. dispatch says
that the ruins of prehistoric city
have been discovered by a party OF
prospectors from Yuma on the Colo
RADIO Desert, while in search of the
Peg Leg mine. The wind had laid
bare the walls and the remains of
stone buildings. For distance OF APO
feet in length by 2f4 in width gigantic
pillars, quantity carved to represent
dragon heads and rattlesnakes, still
stood in the sand of the deserts, sup
porting on their tops huge slabs OF
granite. The frieze ornamentation re-
sembles Egyptian sculpture and ex-
hibited greater degree of skill than
is possessed by the Indian artisans OF

terry were found underneath the debris
and, together with parts of the
crumbled pieces of the frieza, were
brought by the prospectors to this
city.
Pfospector Ferguson called the mat
ter to the attention OF H. C. Gordon,
who interested John F. Gay, Jr., a
wealthy man of San Diego, and in
company with four Others, they went
to the desert to explore the ruins.
They were driven back by a sand
storm. They will take another start
and make a careful investigation OF
the ruins.

KENTUCKY's brilliant statesman,
Henry Watterson, clearly recognizes
the logic of the situation. He says in
his mastery way in the CourierJour-
nal: The truth is that if the govern
ment is to continue the policy of max
ing a warehouse of itself for the stor.
age of products which it does not need
and cannot use, it would do better to
buy Kentucky whisky than Colorado
silver. Since it began buying silver
under the Sherman act, silver has gone
down nearly so per cent, and the gov
eminent has now a stock OF dead silver
stored away in its vaults which repre-
sents loss of millions OF dollars. If
it had put that money into Kentucky
whisky it would have put it into some.
thing which would have been growing
better all the time, and which would
have continued to grow better with
age. 1t could have kept that whisky
for hundred years, if it chose, before
attempting TO put it into circulation.
Think OF Kentucky whisky issued by
the government and known to be one
hundred years old Instead of suffer-
ing loss from it the government
could dispose of it at a prof. sufficient

,yhy Foam Ia White.

The question as to why all foam is white
Is not an easy one to understand, but an
exchange explains us follows the fact that
foam is always white, whatever may be the
color of the beverage itself The froth pro
duced on Il bottle of the blacklist ink il
white and would be perfectly SO were it
not tinged to II certain extent by particles
of the liquid which the bubbles hold in me-
chanical suspension. As to the cause of
this whiteness it is sufficient TO say that il
is due to the large nun Der of rejecting sur.
faces formed by the foam, for it is these
surfaces which by rejecting the light pro
duce upon our eyes the impression of white.
If we remember that all bodies owe their
colors to the rays of light which they can
not absorb and all bodies which reflect all
the light they receive without absorbing
any appear perfectly white, we shall be
prepared to understand how the multitude
of rejecting surfaces formed by the foam
and which do not absorb any light must
necessarily give the froth white appear
ance. 1t is for the same reason that any
very fine powder appears white. even the
blacklist marble when ground to dust los
ing every trace of its original color.

His Excuse.

Among the early lawyers of Missouri
were Judge James c. and General John
c.. brothers, both excellent lawyers and
splendid advocates. General John, when
occasion required, closed his argument to
the jury bathed in tears himself, with most
of the jury and audience weeping too.
One day he and Judge James were trying
a case, James prosecuting and John de-
Tending. James made his speech, O strong
one for his side of the case. and ended witt
telling the jury.
Gentlemen, my brother John will ad-
dress you on the other side of the case, and
want to caution you. he will cry and try
to make you cry. He does it in all his
cases"
General John then spoke to the jury,
making one OF the very best of his pathetic
appeals. causing jury and audience to for
get james admonition, and as tears were
flowing John, with great drops rolling
down his cheeks, said to tho jury:
My brother Jim told you would cry
am crying. and, gentleman of the jury, if
You had such n ID mean brother ms
