THEY DREW THE LINE
When the COlored Brother Led Them in
Prayer.

When the COlored Brother Led Them in
Prayer.
Quite a ripple of excitement was Gre
ated in the Blakely Methodist church las
Friday night by the action OF negro
preacher named McGhee.
A Drotracted meeting had be n in pro-
gress there for several days and on the
night mentioned several propositions
had been extended to the congregation
and a great number had gathered around
the altar rail, and when the pastor called
upon "all Christians TO come forward
and mingle their prayers in behalf of the
unredeemed, the negro minister went up
and took retired position.
After several of the jealous brethren
and sisters had uttered short and fervent
prayers and the fervor was intense. the
pastor called out Anybody pray!
whereupon the colared brother began a
most eloquent petition to the Master-
such as is seldom heard in any church.
This attracted the notice OF many
even among those around the altar-who
felt the fires OF indignation rise in their
bosoms at the audacity of the colored
brother aud they tarTiod not in their
haste 10 leave th5 altar and the church.
Many others of the congregation also left
the church
The incident has been the topic of
much conversation in that little sister
city.

Captain w. c. Dillon has reached the

Six mules, valued at from $50 to

Captain Dillon thinks the mules were
poisoned by eating the leaves Of the cot.

Eight mules had been used in hauling
cotton from the fields, and six Of these

There are some people, however. who
are not inclined to believe that the Paris

They say that they put Paris green on
their cotton and thar their mules which
are in the field daily nibbing the plants

symptoms of sickness.

Arizona is literally covered with
the ruins of strange habitations.
Most of them are constructed Of con-
crete or adobe, and the mystery about
them is the identity Of the people
who designed them. How they cou d
be built is not a matter of conjecture,
as the materials are close at hand.
But there is one ruin, although still
In a good state of preservation, that
is a mystery, no matter in what light
it is considered.
1t is in the Huachucba mountains,
not far from the military reservation,
in a northeastern direction. Nothing
is known Of its origin, and the won
derful part is the material of which
it is constructed.
1t is about two hundred miles from
the ocean, and surrounded on all
sides by hills of sand and rocks COW
cred with cacti. There is no water
for miles, except the excuses for riy-
ers that run during the rainy season.
There is not even suggestion of
water, and yet the house is bullt'Of
sea shells laid in sort Of ment.
Where the shells were obtained is
a mystery that may never be solved.
1T does not seem possible that the
builder of the house would carry the
material over hundreds Of miles Of
desert when there were plenty Of
rocks near by that would answer the
purpose just as well, even though
they were not so unique.
The house is built in the shape of
the straw huts Of the Papago Indians,
and is about the same size. There is
room inside for five or six persons,
but at present nobody occupies 1t, ex-
cept perhaps, some prospector, who
uses it for temporary shelter in cod
weather.
There are a dozen varieties of shells
to be found in the walls, and one
over the door is of extraordinary size.
The age Of the building will never
be known, but there is little doubt
but that it is as old as the Oldest in
the Territory.

THE RIM OF A WHEEL
Explanation of Why the Top Moves Fast'
than the Bottom,

Explanation of Why the Top Moves Faster
than the Bottom.
The statement that the top OF a
wheel moves faster than the bottom
has occasioned much discussion by
practical men in all lines of business,
and frequently they have aired their
views in these columns. Our excel
lent contemporary, Power, recently
published the following lucid explain
alton of the problem:
The angular velocity of all parts OF
the wheel about the hub is the same.
The linear velocity about tie nuD OF
all points in the wheel is proportion.
ate to their distance from the center,
whether above or below the center.
With reference to the ground or a
stationary object the top of the wheel
advances the faster, but as every
point in the wheel is consecutiyely
assuming that position the forward
motion of the wheel as a whole, is, of
course, the same. In the accom-
panying sketch the top Of a wheel is
marked A, the bottom B. AS the
wheel makes q half revolution,
bringing A to the bottom and
B to the top, these points are
carried through paths indicated by
the dotted lines During the first
quarter revolution A has gone to AL,
B only to B, but during the next
quarter A goes only to AZ, while B
goes to BIZ. The curve traced is
cycloid. While the point B was be-
low the hub it went ahead only the
distance x; when it was above it went
ahead with reference to the ground
the distance y. When a was above
the center it went ahead the distance
N, after it fell below the center it
only made the distance in the same
time, but plus y equals m plus n.
The apparent anomaly that different
parts of the same wheel can travel at
different speeds is explained by re-
membering that it is the speed as
between one part of the wheel and a
stationary object, not as between
different parts of the same wheel
that is considered. In the first posi-
tiOn A and B are at equal distances
from a point In front of the carriage.
In the second position A is ahead OF
B in the direction Of movement Of
the carriage distance to the diane
ter of the wheel. In the third posi-
tlon they are again even, for one
loses below the center as much as the
other gains above.

is A FAMOUS CRIMINAL JUDGE.
Does Many Kind Acts, Though Credited
with judicial Severity.

Does Many Kind Acts, Though Credited
with judicial Severity.
The Recorder of the city Of New
York has the name of possessing a
short temper but for bakers dozen
of years he has with cherubic resig-
nation put up with having his name
mispronounccd by some 100000 Of
his fellow-c,tizens, every one of whom
IS pretty sure to have that name on
his tongue during some portion, of
the year. The Press, therefore, y hes
to the long-sufferlng Recorders res
cue by informing the general public
that Frederick Smyth pronOunces his
name Smith. In repose and with the
eyes closed as they frequently are,
as if to shut out the dismal outlines
of the courtroom, Recorder Smyth's
face looks like death-mask Of George
Washington. When he smiles, as he
does on those very unusual occasions
when lawyer makes a really humor-
Gus sally, it is smile of dry amuse-
ment, and the face looks then like
that Of cynical eighteenth century
diplomat. The Recorder has a great
fund of quiet humor Of his own,
wIich he keeps pretty much to him
self. Everybody knows of this Judges
severity toward evil-dOeIs, and his
reputation for bending the plastic
minds of juries in the way that his
strong mind inclines-which is gen.
orally for conviction-is widespread.
On the other hand, none but habit
ues of the court are aware of his
many kindnesses to innocent prison
ers brought before him, nor of his
encouragement of such young law
yers rs he really thinks worth de-
ycloping. His term expires next year.
