How Electricity Kills.

After an investigation OF a large num-
Der Of deaths from electric shock, Messrs
Biraud and Lacassagne, of Lyons, have
concluded that electricity causes death
either by producing mechanical LESSONS
of the blood vessels and nervous sys-
TEN, or by stopping the respiration and
the action of the heart. Deaths of the
former class result frem lightning and
static discharges from powerful batteries;
but those of the second class are met
with in shocks from the high tension cur
rents used industrially. The two clas-
ses of death, another French writer adds,
are distinguished also in practice by a
most important fact. While disruptive
discharges of the first class produce
death absolutely, the electric action in
the second case frequently puts the vic
tim in state Of apparent death, from
which he may be restored by artificial
respiration. Rabbits have been revived
after receiving current of 1900 volt,
and twenty amperes-a shock more
powerful than is given in the electro.

A Page Who Saved a King.

A very pretty story is told about
page in the service of Prince William of
Orange, who in after years sat on the
English throne with Mary. While en-
gagged in war with France William was
seized with smallpox in its worst form,
and as the eruption refused to come to
the surface or respond to any treatment
the physicians declared he would die
unless some young, healthy person who
had never had the disease would enter
the bed and hold the Prince in his arms
for some time The animal warmth, 1T
was thought, might cause the pustules to
appear, and thus preserve the hope OF
his country. This announcement pro
duccd the greatest CONSERVATION among
the attendants, for even those who had
had the disease shrank from encounter
ing it again, for the physicians ac-
knowledged that the experiment might
be fatal. One of the pages-a baud

would die unless this was done, volun-

Bentinck imbibed continent smallpox,
narrowly escaped with life, and his
handsome face was married for life, but
in after years Willamrewarded his tidel-
ity by making him Prime Minister.
His wife, Mary H., of England, died
of smallpox She was addicted to high
living, overeating, and had fondness
for drinking rich chocolate and win at
bedtime. She was full and large and her
blood so thick that her constitution was
unable to combat a disease nourshed by
her high fed condition. Her sister and
successor, Queen Anne, had smallpox
when child. She, too, was a great
eater, and close study of history proves
that most people who have died of small
pox were Commands and overfcd. - New

A HIDDEN srRRkM.
Remarkable Water supply OF the City
of Galveston.

One Of the most remarkable systems
of water supply in the world is to be
found in Galveston, Texas. About a
mile north of the city is a valley thous-
and feet wide, which surveyors deter
mined to be the location of an under
ground stream, though the valley itself
was dry and under cultivation.
1t was suggested that wells might tap
this stream and give the city pure sup
ply of water. The city engineer. young
man from the East, suggested that, in
lieu of reservoir, the hidden stream be
damned, when there would at all times
be an inexhaustible supply. He was
derided, but, firm in the belief that his
theory was right, he obtained an appro-
priaton for an experimental we'll.
Sinking large one in the center OF the
valley, he struck living wster at the depth
of thirty feet, coming in such quantities
that Il powerful steam pump could not
lower it to any perceptible degree. An
appropriation enabled him to carry out
his plans, which resulted in obtaining an
unlimited quantity of pure water.
Sinking five wells, 200 feet apart, he
covered the entire width OF the stream.
He next tunneled from we'll to well, max
ing siX-foot excavation the entire dis
tauce across the stream. THIS was en-
larged 50 as to be six feet high and eight
teet wide. Then on the lower side he
| built substantial stone dam feet high,
its foundation being below thu bed of the
submerged stream, which YVES clearly de
fined. The water collected so fast that
the central section had to bt left until the
! two wings were completed. When this
was done work was begun on the central
unfinished portion, two powerful steam
pumps being required day and night tC
keep down the water so thai the workmen
could complete the structure.
Soundings showed that before the con
nections were made with the mains lead
ing into the city the tunnel was filleC
with water, and a current flowing ovel
the dam was observed at all five of the
wells. The mains were filled US soon rs
the pumps could be set at work, and al
though no limit has ever been placed
upon the use of the water, the supply
has never at any time been lowered be
low the top of the dam. In rainy weathe
and in dry weather the volume of waite
has remained the same. 1t 10 free from
all vegetable or mineral impurities, ant
is cool and sweet,
What was considered by many as
doubtful experiment has proved com
plete success. This supply is withou
parallel in the history of water works
unless it be at Chattanooga, Tenn, wher
the supply is obtained from an under
ground river flowing in Nickajack Cav
i beneo tn Lookout Mountain.
} There engineering skill drove tunnC
into the side of a mountain until tn
river was tapped at the point where
dropped over the rocks, forming an i'm
mense underground waterfall This
water is as pure and sweet as that at Ga
weston, but there is not the quantity, nj
can it be stored for emergencies as ca
the water at the latter point. - Wat'

Fossil Forests of the Yellowstone.

These sanding silicifed stumps and
fallen trees were found varying in diam
eter from one TO seven feet. Two sections
of trees were found so perfect that the
rings of annual growth throughout could
be counted, except few, perhaps fifteen
or twenty, near the heart and bark. One
tree, measuring three feet in diameter,
had two hundred and twenty two rings of
growth; and another, of three feet
five inches in diameter, had two
hundred and forty-three-this with
out any allowance for few missing
rings at the center and toward the bark.
The larger of these trees was only about
half the size of the largest seen. Many
were found varying in diameter from I'VE
to seven feet, but none of this size were
seen exposing the rings through out the
entire section. Judging from the close
ness of the rings in certain well-preserved
portions of these larger trees, many OF
them must have been at least five hun.
bred years in attaining their growth, II
the rings were truly annual. Taking
one half of this number, two hun
bred and fifty years, as the more
probable age of the successive forests AZ
this point, it is seen that the earliest OF
these trees were living more than two
thousand years before the latest during
which time there were alternating condl'
tions of growth and accumulation OF vol
canic material.
This estimate makes no allowance fol-
the time necessary for the formation o.
soil upon the volcanic material, which
at first sight would seem necessary fol
the support of such a vigorous vegeta
ton. 1t is not probable, however, that
any considerable time was necessary foI
this purpose, for, with rare exceptions
each succeeding forest took root aud be
gan to grow very promptly after the
destruction of its predecessor. In most
cases the destroying flood consisted
largely of mud. ashes, conglomerate, ano
other volcanic material, which formec
an excellent base for vegetation, and II
was doubtless covered with luxurtant
growth as soon as it was dried or cooled
sufficiently, and this would require
only short time. Il Popular Science

f. Gary, who received LIZ votes OF
the 1896 cast; Adams A. Goodrich,
George NJ. Rogers, John w. Sho-
walter, and Samuel A. Lynde. The
four last named are Democrats.
There were only six Democratic can
didates. The choice of the four was
simple enough Lawrence NJ Ennis
and Lyndon Evans are the two de-
feated Democratic candidates.
There were twenty Republican can
didates, and Judge Gary was the only
one receiving majority of ali
the votes cast. Less than 200 of
the nearly | 400 who voted omitted
to place their mark after his
name. The omission was due to the
belief that Judge Gary would be
nominated anyhow and the desire of
lawyer rioters to help some weaker
candidates. Perhaps of the 1916 who
voted there are not twenty who do
not favor the election of Judge Gary.
The ballot was sent through the
mail or dropped at the office of John
p. Wilson. 1t was most crafty.
ing to the promoters of the primary
that so large number of votes wa,
cast. At previous bar primaries the
vote never exceeded 1000. 1t was
nearly s O'Clock in the evening wher
the count was concluded at Mr. Will
sons office. ID. B. Lyman, Presi
/ dent of the Bar Association, presided

The voter had to select four from
the Republican list of candidates and
four from the Democratic list. Where
this rule was not observed the ballot
was rejected as informal. 1t REQUIRED
a majority of all the votes cast to
nominate. AS none of the Repub-
lican candidates except Judge Gary
obtained such majority no Republican
candidate but Judge Gary was Sc
lected. A second ballot will be held
Aug I. The votes will be counted
Aug. 8. Under the rule adopted as
to the primary only the five receiving
the highest number of votes will be
balloted for. These are in the order
of their vote Edmund W. Burke, one
of the ablest lawyers at the bar, John
Gibbons, James S. Harlan, Henry
V. Freeman, Mason b. LOOMS, and
Robert Mather. The three remain
ing Republican candidates will be Sc
lected from the five, and the ten
dency will be to unite on Burke,
Gibbons, and Freeman.
Judge Gary, who was on all tick
cts, was badly scratched.
George NJ. Rogers is a son of the
late Judge Rogers, and a brother-in-
law of Judge Mcconnell. He served
a term as Prosecuting Attorney and
is about IS years of age.

The Opera Company.
Pueblo (Col.l Leader.

The Boston Operatic Concert Company
appeared last night before an audience
that filed every seat in the theater, and
left hundreds standing, and still others
unable to gain admission. That they
fully deserved the patronage bestowed
was demonstrated before the curtain had
been up thirty minutes. The musical
part of the entertainment is of especial
excellence, being far ahead of anything
heard of in this city before. Miss Bertha
Haman's coronet solo was deservedly
applauded to the echo, while the solo
upon the xylophone, by her twin sister,
pleased equally WE'LL The musical pro-
gram as whole, under the dictatorship
of Miss Irene Haman, was rendered
with rare taste and intelligence. Albert
Hawthorne the basso cantanta, has a
easily holds rank among the best bassos
of this generation. His rendition ofthe
ARROW and the Songo was simply grand.
He was recalled time after time, and it
began to look as though the delighted
audience would keep him singing indef
nitely. Dolph and Susie Levine, in
their act which they aptly style "Rival
Arts" furnished the mirth and pathos
of the entertainment. Their efforts have
a novelty and originality that is well
nigh indescribable, singing, harp play
ing, drawing and story telling, all SO well
and briskly done, that one hardly knows
where to begin. Laughter and tears,
astonishment and constant surprise
keep the listeners mind in constant
action. The two features, however,
which seemed to stand out particularly,
was the singing of Miss Levino, with
the harp accompaniment, and the crayon
sketches of prominent men by Mr..
Levine, while the lady eulogizes the
subject in song, the gentleman makes a
life-like crayon sketch of the features.
Summed up it is the best entertainment
seen here this season.
