A piece of phosphorus sprinkled with
dry powdered charcoal ignites almost
instantly, because the charcoal alb
serbs oxygen from the air and so pro-
duces a higher temperature.
Hounds follow a trail better during
humid than in dry weather. because
the moisture of the atmosphere pre-
vents the dissemination of the odors
left by fleeing animals.
The voice can be heard to a greater
distance through a speaking tube than
through the air because the sound Is con-
fined to the air within the tube and the
tube itself is a good conductor.
The horses eye has a thick glutinous
secretion because his eye, being large
and much exposed to dust, the viscid
secretion cleanses it more effectually
than would one more watery agent.
The snipe has nerves clean down to
the tip of his bill because he digs for
his living, and, not being able to see
his food, has these nerves provided to
enable him to ascertain its presence.
The apparent depth of water is al
ways deceptive, because the light re-
f1ected from the water is refracted as
it leaves the water. Water is generally
about one-third deeper than it appears
to be.

DEsERTER FROM FORT DOUGLAS.
A Private Arrested at Denver and
Afterwards Released.

A Private Arrested at Denver and
Afterwards Released.
Dennis Halsey, who is enrolled as a
soldier upon Uncle Sans books, has
passed through a very remarkable ex-
says the Denver News. He was ar
rested Tuesday night on a charge of
desertion, and yesterday he was re-
leased from custody. His present
whereabouts are unknown to the Den
yer police. On Tuesday night some in
digent individual informed Sergeant
Tarbox that Halsey was in town and
agreed to put the officer "on" if he
would divide half the reward Tarbox,
on the spur of the moment, accepted
the proposition, and before midnight
the alleged deserter was placed within
the walls Of the city prison. Early
yesterday morning TarboX and the in
digent individual took the prisoner to
Fort Logan, where they expected the
officials to take Halsey off their hands.
A long interview was held and TarboN
was advised to telegraph to Fort Doug
las, Utah, for instructions. It appeared
that Halsey had been transferred from
San Antonio, Tex, to Fort Douglas.
Utah, and had pawned his ticket here.
Being a young man full of VIM he
spent his money in the accumula ton
Of a huge jag. In Uncle Sans service
a soldier must be away from his post
ten days before he is considered a de-
serter, and Halsey was only one day
behind time when apprehended The
Fort Logan officials declined to deal
with the case and then Tarbox decided
to drop the matter, and so turned Hal
sey loose, greatly to the latter's de-
light. 1t is now a question whether
Halsey will return to his post, as he
will in that case be called to account
for selling his railroad ticket The ex-
IRENE penalty of the offense is two and
half years in the penitentiary.

Beet harvest is progressing steadily,
though not up nearly to the full capac-
ity of the farmers to deliver. On
most of the fields a very good yield is
being secured, and the beets in the
sheds at the factory are of a good size
and remarkably even. There have been
practically no very small beets harvest
ed from the Chino fields, and in looking
over the huge piles in the long bins at
the factory one must notice very uni
form size throughout Harvesting,
which during the first years of the in
dustry here, was considerable of an ell
ephant on the farmers hands, has now
been reduced to such a systematized
condition that it is being done without
any great undue eXertion, the work
moving along steadily and smoothly.
The unloading apparatus at the beet
sheds is greatly improved since last
year, and now works with the greatest
expedition. It is but a few minutes
work to unload the largest of the loads.
The wagon is driven to the place where
it is desired to dump the load, cross
beam attached to cable running
Through pulleyS to a windlasS run by
steam engine is lowered from above.
Hooks at regular intervals on the cross
beam are caught in the outer edge of
the strong rope net which lines the
wagon box. The engine is started, the
load rises from the box and rolls in a
body over into the bins at the side.
Five minutes does the work and the
wagon drives on.
Up to this morning the harvest for
the season has been 1919 tons.
The sugar percentage in the beets are
keeping up well, and show higher av-
erage than is ever known in France or
Germany. or any other country outside
of Southern California.

Manager Markell of the Union Pacific
hotel department is in the city today.
He says that the order requiring din
ing room girls to be uniformed after
the 18th inst, has met with no OPP
position except at Laramie and Ogden.
The company furnishes a uniform free
of charge to each of the girls and this
has been highly appreciated by most of
the hotels, says the Laramie Repub-
lican. In Laramie should the dining
room girls fail to conform to the order
it is likely they will be removed and
their places filled with girls having
less pride and more discretion.

John Early has returned from Grey
hound mountain, in what is generally
known as the Deadwood country. He
reports that the mines there are look
ing wonderfully well. Mr. Early
brought over about a ton of high grade
ore He expects to ship large quanti-
ties next year over the state wagon
road
Everybody who knows Mr. Early
realizes that his opinions are always
carefully weighed and honestly given
that he is thoroughly honest. Coming
from him, the following statement is
therefore of the greatest Importance:
Greyhound mountain makes a better
showing than any other district 1 ever
saw. L have. been in Phoebe, in Vir-
GINA City and in. all the great camps of
California and Nevada, but / never saw
such a showing as is made at Grey
hound mountain. The mines are phe-
nomenally rich, the ore carrying both
gold and silver. tesman.
If any man ever got down on his
knees and crawled to keep the public
teat from slipping out of his mouth,
that man is William ]. Mcconnell. He
started out with Senatorial and guber-
material lightning rods looming up like
flag-poles, and now he comes around
with a pair. of Willis Sweets gum
boots on, kicking at the back door of
the convention. begging to be taken in
out of the rain. The Statesman
comes to his rescue with the statement
that This defeat would leave a sore that
might not be healed. Shame on such
political rot! If Mcconnell is the only
available man in the Republican party
for the chair of the chief executive of
the State, the party had better leave a
blank place on the ticket.-Independe

Mr.. Johnson, the manager, that they

with oats, seized hold of the sack to
move it out of the way and was some

SONG OF THE TROLLEY CAR.

/ come from the haunts of busy men,
Past avenue and alley,
l circle in and out again
With many a curve and sally.
/ jam my aisles chock full of men,
Though hot as tophet be it;
l run pell-mel the twanging bell
May laugh-men 90 not see 1t!
A nickel for strap, you know,
Is really very clever,
For men may come and men may go,
But i go on forever.
Some cranky people half believe,
Because they pay a nickel
That they should for it seat receive
Such joys a sphynX would tickle.
But while a few may kick, perhaps,
And think it isn't funny,
1t is the ones who cling to straps
Who bring me stacks of money.
And men may swear and tear their hair
And say they're quite disgusted;
But I'll go right along whene'er
The trolley isn't busted.
