HAVE ABANDONED OIL
Coal Instead Of OIL to Be Used on Santa Pc En-

The Santa Fe railway has decided
that It is cheaper to burn coal than oil
and are changing their oil burning en-
gines so as to consume coal hereafter.
Some time ago, shortly after the dis
covery Of the oil flow in this city, num-
ber of oil burning engines were built
and 1t was claimed that oil would prove
much cheaper fuel than coal After
a practical trial, however, the expert
ment has not proved satisfactory, and
the railroad company has decided to re-
turn to the former fuel
The Santa Fe has been one of the
principal oil consumers in this city and
what effect their discontinuance OF its
use will have on the oil market is mat

Facts for Farmers.


This is the month 10 SOW crimson
clover. 1t should be seeded on we'll
prepared land and brushed in, but il is
also broadcasted on corn stubble, or
wherever there is vacant place, so
as to have it occupy the ground until
spring, when it can then be plowed
under as green manurial crop before
seed planting begins.
When trees are pruned of surplus
branches and shoots while they are
young it avoids cutting off large limbs
in after years.
Farmers dislike sheep on some pas
lures, as flock on scanty heritage will
Craze so close to the ground rs to in
Jure some varieties of grasses. but the
close grazing by sheep is an advantage
IN their favor, as they keep down the
weeds just as they are appearing above
the soil. Weeds that are of no value
as food when they have matured pro-
vide dainties to sheep when the shoots
are young and tender.
The value of a breed may be of but
iittle importance to those who regard
one animal good as another, but tie
iact that, while there is decrease Of
about 100000 sheep in Australia
compared with three years ago, the
wool clip has increased, which is proof
that there is a profit in breeds. The
fiOeks have been culled every year

Light In Photography.

NJ. Chassagne discovered that Light
is, according to its color, able TO produce
a specific physical change by virtue Of
which each part Of the photograph is
able, when immersed in a bath Of dye,
to absorb the dye just in those parts of
the picture where the corresponding tint
originally fell" II this is true. a red
tiled roof in a lapdscape. when photo
graphed by means Of properly prepared
films, would be able to 30 affect the part
where its image had fallen that when
the whole photograph is placed in red
dye the dye stains that part of the pic
ture and none of the other. In the Chas
sagne photograph the tinting follows
the lines with such precision as shows
the importance of the discovery or the
cleverness of the fraud. Opinion seems
TO favor the first. Becquerel, some half
century ago, succeeded in fixing tempo
rarily upon the Photographic plates the
coiors Of the spectrum. The question
was then raised whether ii Is possible
that color may, under certain circum-
stances, actually create pigment of its
own tint out of chemical precipita-
tion Of material taking place under its
own influence. Until NJ Chassagne
may be able TO reveal the nature of his
secret solution speculation may remain
wide of the mark.

A Royal Athlete.

Among the stories told Of one of the
most kingly of European sovereigns,
King George Of Greece, is one which
details the trouble that on one occasion
grew out of his passion for athletic
sports.
The king, in the earlier years of his
reign. often participated in the feats Of
running and leaping of which his coun-
trvmen are so fond. In order 10 conceal
his identity he entered the contests un-
der the name Of George Papadopoulos.
He was an excellent tathlete-tall, strong
and nimble-and won many of the con-
tests.
he proudly cherishes the cups and
other trophies which he won IN these
games, all of which bear the name of
George Papadopoulos But his appear
ance in them, as an unknown and con-
seQuently mysterious parsonage, had its
disadvantages In a certain amateur
contest he was accused Of being a pro-
fessional.
AS George Papadopoulos' naturally
could not give satisfactory account Of
his identity and anteeedents, the crowd
became convinced that he really was a
professional. The Greeks are hot blood
ed, and NJ. Papadopoulos was greatly in
danger Of receiving rough treatment. In
this emergency he confessed his identi-
", not TO the crowd, but TO a police
officer, who managed to get him away
10 place of safety without permitting
the crowd TO discover that they had been
threatening their sovereign.
As a reward for his cleverness the po-
lice officer received a military appoint
ment and has now reached the rank of

A troop of wandering musicians were
playing before Swiss hotel. At the
End of the performance one of the mem
bers left the group. approached the lead
er of the band and pulled out little
paper box, which he emptied into his
left hand, while the eyes of the leader
followed every movement
He then took a plate in his right
hand, passed it round, and large sum
was collected, every one meanwhile
wondering what he held in his left
hand.
Why, it's very simple, said the
leader when questioned. I've are all

A few hundred feet in the air, just
above what is known as the magnetic
disturbance of the earth's surface, the
electric waves run in long, straight
lines. They are called the HertZian
waves, after young Hertz, their discov-
erer The waves are, in fact, found ev-
erywheEe in the air, but up there they
can be used without the danger of local
disturbance, and Mr.. Tesla has, by n
long series of experiments, learned TO
take hold of them and flash light pre-
cisely as a sunbeam is flashed from a
mirror He has learned TO throw the
electric energy of those waves into bat
tery and turn a distant machine connect
ed with this battery by wire. Mr.. Tes-
la has a machine in his laboratory, that
be calls an cscillator, that generates
these waves and projects them into the
atmosphere Just as nature does With

ing every calculation necessary to flash
