DESERVED VICTORIA CROSS.

A brave Act which Contains u Lesson For
Those who Have to Right.
The Gazette announces that the queen
has conferred the Victoria cross upon
Surgeon MAJ )r Lloyd of the army med
ical staff for his gallantry during tn,
operations against the kachns last year
During the attack on the Sima tort
by the kachins ON Jan. 0, 1909. the
commanding officer, Captain Morton
while visiting u p cket about 80 yard
distant. was wounded. Surgeon Major
Lloyd, accompanied by "A native officer
at once ran out to help him, under q
heavy fire. When, however, the wound
ed man was reached. II was found nee.
essary to send back for more help, and
Surgeon Major Lloyd had thus to r.
main with Captain Morton for som
minutes. The enemy, who were within
10 or 10 PAGES, were all the time keep
ing up n heavy fire and killed four mcu.
one Of them being bugler who was
helping to carry Captain Morton. Thg
Victoria cross was probably never
earned more gnllantly.
Surgeon Major Lloyd would have de.
lighted Frederick the Great as one o.

Indians working at Logging.

1t is reported that the Indians of Red
river reservation, near Ashland, have
never been in better condition than
they are this winter. The recommenda
tion of Indian Agent Mercer, which
brought the Washington officials to fa
vorably consider the proposition of log
ging on the reservation, is responsible
fol- the happy condition. j. l.. Stearns,
the lumberman, has deposited bond of
$50. 900 with the Washington officials
and begun logging on the reserve, CIV
ing ample employment to all the In
dains who wish to work and at very
fair rate of wages. He has 80 Indians
at work now, and they are getting out
so, 900 feet of logs daily. The attendance

ervation has never been so large as this

WHEN FRUIT FREEZES.

why Oranges Arc Able To Resist Frost To
mn Unusuni Degree.
The late Professor Newberry of Co
lumbia college, New York, showed sci
entifically some years ago how oranges
and apples are able 10 resist frost TO an
unusual degree. His explanation Is es-
pecially interesting TO every citrus fruit
grower.
The professor showed that IL Is u law
Of capitalization or freezing or solidify-
ing that this process depends upon sew
eral conditions of the liquid TO be crys-
tallized or frozen, by which is meant sim
ply that the liquid is changed into n solid.
The effect of evaporation has much to Ito
with II, as this itself reduces the tempera-
ture of liquid TO considerable extent
as may be discovered by any person who
will pour little ether In his hand and
blow upon It., when the greatly increased
GOODNESS will be felt. In India water is
frozen by exposing II in porous Jars 20
the cold night winds when the tempera-
ture of the air Is several degrees above
the freezing point.
Ice may be formed in redhot cruel
BILE by the sudden evaporation Of liquid
carbonic acid or in "A saucer under the re-
ceiver Of an airpump by the evaporation
of II and the rapid absorption Of the va
por that escapes by reason Of the reduced
pressure by sulphuric acid In another
saucer.
Again, solutions Of various substances,
az sugar and crystalized salts, will not
freeze at the ordinary temperature at
which ice Is formed IN pure water. Thus
q solution OF salt requires n lower tenn
perature to become frozen than fresh
water does, and IL IL well known that
sugar sirup can hardly be frozen at any
ordinary temperature. Further, the ten
sion under which liquids are held has an
effect in the same way. a light tension
makes freezing easier while n high one
retards the congclntiun.
Now, all these facts have n bearing IN
the case Of oranges and other fruits, IA
well M the sap Of trees. Watery sap Of
very succulent plants freezes much more
| easily than the sweet and dense sap of
the maple or the hickory. Some buds
will resist freezing quite stubbornly at II
very low temperature, and the resinous
covering of the bud scales Of trees, as
those of the horse chestnut, exert a great
resistance TO freezing.
The sap or juice Of the orange contains
large quantity Of citric acid in sou-
ton, and low temperature is required
to CONCEAL such solution. II also con
tains considerable sugar, and this tends
to resist cold. The sap or juice, which
exists in this fruit in the proportion Of
78 per cent in the orange, is under con-
siderable tension, and this exerts some
resistance to freezing, and finally the
sap is not exposed to evaporation he.
cause of its tight covering by which it is
protected.
Thus an orange must be exposed to q
lower temperature than the ordinary
freezing point of water before it will
freeze. The same applies to other fruits
as apples and vegetables and potatoes, to
some extent.-Pomona Cali Progress.

TO HARNESS The TIDES.

The Colossal Idcn Of Nr. Davies, Whic',
Has Demonstrated In n Small Wu,.
Mr.. Davies of Wood Green has
barkod ON scheme which promise
lossal returns. Ilo intends utii
tidal energy for electric lighting, Il
ways and railways. The notion Is
entirely new. In 1881 Professor Tho
son pointed out that no fewer than
900, 900, 900 foot pounds of energy
wasted each year at Bristol alone. g.
tenth part Of this energy would, j.
stated, light the city with electric
while one-tenth part Of the tidal f..
of the Severn would be sufficient e.
Illuminate every city in the empire. !.
entific men have all agreed that the
possible mode is to have immense T.
voirs, which would fill at high tide
run out on the ebb into the tidal "
through turbines. To this there has
ways been one disadvantage-no inv,
or could show a greater length oi

A drunken crowd of no particular pol
itical party attempted to get possession of
the ballot of the ninth precinct of the
Twenty-third ward. The judges and po-
liceman resisted and fight followed in
which revolvers were freely used. The
following were injured: Gus Coleander,
judge of election, shot through stomach,
will die; j. f. Waters, clerk Of election,
shot in left arm; Nicholas Michaels, police
officer shot in the leg. Neither. Walters
nor Michaels is fatally hurt. No arrests
were made, as the policeman was shot
early in the fight and could do nothing.
The object of the crowd in trying to Sc
cure the ballot box is unknown. The
judges fought off the mob, but the box
was perforated with bullets.
The vote throughout the city was very
heavy, and as the excitement ran high
fights mt the polls were of frequent oc-
currence. The most serious row, was in
