to pulley wheel on the power-wheel shaft. My main circuit ran from the dynamo to bank of incandeGcent lamps, which were to be used in the test. When everything was ready. the wheels oiled up, main switch closed and the gators pretty mad, l hired four little colored boys to go along in front of the stalls and crack the gators or the head with short clubs. This made 'em awful mad, and so they struck out with their tails. Then the old shebapg commenced to run. 4 little coon would hit gator on the head, he'd let out with his tail, strike beam, open the valve. let out cannon bali, which rolled down the chute and onto the wheel. turning it around. Then the bali rolled back to the ccnveyor and was hoistcd up by one of the other gators. She was hlmming beautifully; but had forgotten ore thing: that was I governor. The little ccons liked their work, and lambastcd the gators un- mercifUlls. l stopped them. but the wild animals were beyond control. They dashed around until the speed got so high that the armaturc of the dyna- mo burned out with 6 flash. The gators running the eonveyor got into race with the other fellows and hoisted up cannon balls so fast that the tank got overweighted and broke down. The cannon balls fell on the gators heads and killed every one of them. Fact. l assure you.'

He Made Them Work Dynamo, But
 Couldn't Stop Them.
 My boy once had pet alligator that was pretty fierce, observed Meekin, the lazy inventor, according to the Chicago Times. When he leased this young saurian, the beast would skip out with its powerful tail in an amazing fash ion, without doing itself or anybody else any good. It occurred to me that here was splendid example of wasted energy, and I set out to devise a means of conserving it and turning it to some useful purpose. l spent a winter in Florida, and after I had experimented with some of the small gators that are supplied to tourists for consideration, l ordered some big fellows. After some little trouble I secured ten gators each about four feet in length and of about ten horsepower tail capacity. My scheme was utilizing their tail power-yes, it was kind of a ''tail race - was this: The gators were placed side by side in stalls. which left their tails free to wag. I had upright beams set like pendulums, the swing ing ends of the beams coming close enough to the gators to be in a good position for action. Then I bNilt a tank over the stalls and filled it with laundering big cannon balls. There was an inclined chute running from the tank to a power wheel made with hollow places in the rim, something like a water wheel. In the chute I had valve to regulate the flow of cannon balls. Half the gators were used to work the cannon ball part Of the machine, and the other half to run a conveyor contrivance to lift the balls back into the tank after they had done their work in turning the wheel. I connected a small dynamo by belt

IN MEMORY OF PRINCE ALBERT

Beautiful Service Held Every Year on the
 Anniversary of His Death.
 Every year on the 14th of December Queen Victoria holds a solemn service to commemorate the deaths of the prince consort and Of Princess Alice of Hesse. Gu this occasion the beauti- ful memorial chapel is open to the court and to certain of the queens tenants and tradespeople, but under no preteXt are the public admitted to either the plantation at Frogmore, which surrounds the mausoleum. or to the building itself. The service held this year followed the usual form laid down many years ago by the queen, and the music, most eXquisitely rem dered by the choir of St. Georges chapel, had also been chosen by her majesty.
 As each year goes by a greater inter- est attaches to the vacant space above the tomb of the prince consort. for on the now empty slab the carved efigy of the queen will one day lie. When her majesty first announced her inten- tion of being buried by her husbands s side, considerable difficulties were raised, and it was urged that an Eng fish queen could only be buried among her crowned. predecessors at WestDlin- ster, or Windsor. But no arguments have ever turned her majesty from her purpose, and in time the beautiful in closure at Frogmore will be her ac- cepted royal cemetery. The mausoleum of the duchess of Kent is but stones throw from that of the prince consort. Outwardly, says a writer in St. Paul's, it is the more pleasing of the two, and the bridge across placid lake, by which the mausoleum is approached, and some fine weeping willows. lend it most picturesque and peaceful air.
 The anniversary of the prince con sorts death is passed by the queen in absolute retirement. After the service at the mausoleum her majesty retires to her own apartments, where, if so disposed, she receives a few members of her family. There is no music in the castle on that day, and the princesses and ladies of the household are ex- pected to appear in black gowns, or in grey with black bonnets and gloves.

 of Mules.
 The river rose suddenly yesterday af- ternoon. The cause was heavy rain about the head waters of the Verde. Freighter Morgan who was hauling wood to the lower Indian reservation crossed the river at the Seventh avenue crossing. He unhitched his team oi mules and attempted to return with them to get trailing wagon which he had left on this side. He missed the ford, rode into quicksands and the mules sank out of sight. He himself escaped with great difficulty.

will begin with the largest and most
important crop of the land, crop
which is worth more to the producers
than any other two I refer to corn.
In the five years, 1875-1S79, there were
raised in the United States an average
annual crop Of 1,176,715,0O0 bushels,
for the five years a total Of $3,53S, $780,
162 in currency. That is an average
Of 1858 cents bushel in currency or IS
cents in gold.
Mr.. Harvey-Mr. Horr, won't you
treat us fairly and compare the crop
of 1872 with the crop of 1894, instead Of
mixing the figures up that way?
Mr.. Horr-I will give you those I have
prepared. l don't mix anything. 1t
is just as straightforward as 1t can be.
Mr.. Harvey-You can get it from the
book here on the table.
Mr.. Horr-Well, wait. Don't you
want me to run this thing as / like?
Or do you want me to run 1t entirely to
suit you? Naughter) He sees what
is coming and he's In trouble, you know.
In 1890 to 1894 they were raising annu-
ally on an average 1902, ,17O, 1867 bushels,
with a total value of $3,379 1854 093
for the five years, which is AL
cents per bushel. Here is an advance
in gold Of IL cents a bushel between the
two years. Now in the same period in
Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Missls-
sippi and Texas the average gold value
of coin fell from 6S5 cents to 5S.3, or
5.2 cents a bushel.

now to show the exact figures, but the
increase, as l remember it, since 1873,
of silver that has been absorbed into
use as money is something like $780,
100000, so when a man says that silver
Is demonetized by any nation on tho
face of the earth-unless he gives q
definition to "demonetized," it is not in
the dictiOnary-states a thing that is
not true. Silver was refused free coin
age and consequently ceased to be che
measure Of value in all the civilized ma
tiOns Of the world, but the demand for
silver as money was not decreased by
that legislation, and Mr.. Harvey will
not claim that.
Mr.. Haryey-I do.
Horr Claims Another Point.
Mr.. Horr-Well, then, you claim It in
the face Of the facts Of history. We
have coined since the demonetization
act of 1873 over 100000, 900, IL my
memory serves me right, in this coun-
try, or have it in the form Of bullion
in the treasury, which we have taken
from the markets of the world and
paid for In cash-there is no doubt
about 1t. Now, l submit to the people
of the United States that have shown

ucts of the country have not suffered

which means that it has cost sixteen
times as much to produce silver as it
has to produce gold. Now
Mr.. HOrr says that so many
ounces Of silver have been produced
since 1873 year by year and increasing,
and he says If they are not making
money out Of 1t why do they continue
it. Now that is answered in this: First,
a large per cent of that comes out of the
production Of gold. In the production

duced comes from prospects where men

so, and it was found impossible to drive

UKIAH. CAL, Nov. %. - In connection
with the numerous anonymous letters sent
to THE CALL from Round Valley, 1t can be
stated that THE CALL correspondent has
not been free from that annoyance. Nu-
merous threatening letters have been
received, but acting upon the belief that
the writer of an anonymous letter Is q
coward, they were destroyed. The last
one received by THE CALLS correspondent
was as follows:

learn that you are writing pieces for THE CALL
and about Round Valley and claim that George
White hires men to kill people and run off

P.S.-You must steer clear of certain Round
Valley people when they come TO Ukiah.
The top of the letter was adorned with
rudely drawn skull and crossbones. The
date was apparently October %, but it was
so badly blurred as to be unintelligible.
Word has reached here by private letter
that a number of copies of The CALL
which were sent to Round Valley for dis
tribution were, to use the words Of the
letter, distributed where they did the
most good to White"
The assistant Postmaster at Round
Valley is J. H. Rohrbough, the father of
John S. Rohrbough.
Under Sheriff Philo Handy left for
Round Valley yesterday morning to ar
rest George E. White, the cattle king, and
his nephew, John S. Rohrbough. They
will arrive here on Sunday, and will be
taken to San Francisco at once to serve
time for contempt OF court there.
