HOT SPRINGS.
Theories rs to the Origin of Natural
Boiling Water.

"Geysers, hot springs and hot flowing
wells, the source of which has been
so little understood, are mysteries no
more to science" explained a Scienti-
fic gentleman to Star reporter,
though they are as interesting study
as ever, and new facts are constantly
being discovered about them" says the
Washington Star "a paper read before
the National Geographical society here
last winter by Capt. Frank w. Crosby,
of this city, and who is now in Nor
way making further Investigations into
the same subject has furnished food
for a great amount of conjecture
among biologists throughout the world.
He discovered on the Island of KEEP
halonia Greece, that the waters of the
Mediterranean sea were constantly run
ming inland and disappearing down into
a series of crevasses under the sea. AT
one place the water went with such
force that it ran a mill, known on the
island as the sea mills. Every one
knew that water would find its level,
but it was supposed it would stop there
and not seek a place under its level,
which was supposed to be the sea.
There is a mystery, of course, as to
where the water which has thus disap-
peared for ages goes 1t is supposed
that is. it is theory for as yet science
has not explored under the bottom of
the seas, though it will not be long be-
fore this. kind of explorations will be
made-that the water runs along in a
channel possibly hundreds and thou
sands of miles in length, until it reach
es a depth where the earth is so warm
that the water is turned into steam,
and then is forced out and up again
into the sea or on the land in the form
known as geysers or boiling springs.
Anyhow. the National Geological so
ciety has reported the fact, and the
scientific world will have to settle it
In some way. The contribution was
certainly one of the greatest possible
value. for the idea Of great big hole
under the seas and oceans is a new
one. The wonderful thing in the mat
ter is why it has not been filled up.
The theory that this water supplies
the geysers or hot springs is the only
one that explains the disappearance of
the water under the sea, and its reap
pearance, or, at least, supposed reap
pearance, in other places as geysers
or boiling springs 1t is supposed there
is a similar disappearance of water
in many other places in the world,
though none other has been as definite
ly reported"

WIhh BEGIN ANEW
.nENNEPIN COUNTY BOARD OF TAX
LEVY TO re -REORGANIzED
ON MONDAY.
LEAVING MRS. cRAYs OUT
BECAUSE OF THE RULING OF
THAT SHE CANNOT ACT.
CITY IN A SERIOUS DILEMMA
Apparently Impossible to Cut the
General Levy Down to the Re-
quired Limit.

The sequel to the ruling of County
Attorney Peterson as to the eligibility
of Mrs. Crays to the board of tax levy
was told yesterday in the demand Of
County Auditor Miner for the reorsa-
niZation of the board of tax levy on
the basis of an opinion expressed by
Mr.. Peterson to the effect that the first
organization was not legal on account
of Mrs. CraYs' participation in it.
Mr. Miner says that he will not re-
port the board as organized unless a
reorganization is gone through with. as
there are too many people waiting for
a chance to attack the levy, whatever
it is, and he does not propose to give
such people a chance. The reorganiza-
ton will take place Monday morning.
AS the work of the board advanced
yesterday, it became quite apparent
that it would be impossible for it 20
get the general levy down to the figure
of last year. If it does not succeed in
this, it will not be to blame altogether
The state has increased its demands
upon the county, and there have been
heavy demands from outsiders for i'm
provements along several lines, and
these improvements have been urged
with force and eloquence before the
board and before it's members indivi6-
ually Another thing that has added 10
the difficulties which beset the board
has been the tying up Of funds in de-
funct banks. All Of these facts have
thrown a load upon the city which is
now felt for the first time.
The work Of the board, however, is
apparent in the reduction of the total
levy from 28.74 mills, as first proposed
to even 26 mills. and further reduction
will certainly be made, as the board
konws that such a figure would cali
for serious complaint. The fire de-
partment is apt tc have a slice cut Off
and a pretty generous one, too. But
there are two days left before conclu-
sions will be reached, and there will
doubtless be some material changes
made before they are over

BLUE INSIDE.
Why Envelopes Made That Way Are
in Demand.

why are these envelopes made blue
on the inside?" asked a Washington
Star reporter, looking at specimen
when wholesale stationer held in his
hand.
For the very simple reason" was
the reply. Zone of the most important
results in making envelopes is to pre-
vent transparency. Many white papers
are so transparent that by careful
scrutiny the contents Of envelopes,
made of such material, may be deter
mined. For instance, let us put
sheet of paper with printing on it into
this envelope. Let us also insert
bank check. We will now seal it, and
hold it to the light thus. There can
not only see the bank check but you
can also read many of the words on
the sheet Of the paper. This can be
prevented either by getting very
thick and high priced envelope, which
is not transparent, nor scarcely trans
parent, or by taking, a cheaper grade
OF paper which is blue on one side.
We sell, thousands of packages yearly
of blue envelopes-that is, envelopes
which are blue on the outside, but most
people do not like them on account of
their color So to get over the diff

will hide the contents and not be

SURE ENOUGH BEAR STORY.
Four Black Ones Tackle a Hunter,
But He Wins the Fight.

Wilbur Jarret, of Campbells Creek, was at
tackled by four bears last Thursday within
eighteen miles of Charleston, and narrowly
escaped with his life, says the Charleston (W
Va Gazette. With a party CT Campbell's
Creek men he was camping out on the Pond
fork of Blue creek. near the headwaters of
Bell creek. Mr.. Jarrett cut with his
double-barreled shotgun looking for squirrels
not far from the camp when the bears at
tackled him. He had killed a squirrel which
lodged in the limbs of hickory tree, and
was looking for it when suddenly he found
himself confronted by a huge black bear. 1t

and struck his head with her right fore paw.
He lodged the blow the best he could but the

long hole in the felt hat he was wearing. With
Mr.. Jarrett put out his hand and showed
the bear back a few feet, far enough to raise
his gun, which grazed her nose as it went
off. and the woods echoed with the howl of
rage and pain which she sent up.
Both barrels were now empty, and Mr.. jar
rett sought safety in small bush near at
hand. He quickly loaded up both barrels
again with shot, but had only time to get
the cap one of them when the bear made
another attack upon him. This time he aimed
right in front of the shoulders and fired. The
bear dropped to the ground dead, and a cub
jumped at him. He knocked it down with
the butt Of his gun. Gripping it, and ran.
The old male started IN pursuit, and for
time there was more exciting race through
the woods than was ever seen at any driv-

The next day the men broke camp and re-
turned to civilization. They don't care to

The indictment was very long one,
full of technical terms and descrip-

Laittre to be a member of the state
capitol commission, did offer him

BY TELEPHONE
These KlOndiI<e PrOspectors WIFE
Communicate With Each Other.

A novelty in the employment of the
telephone is to be tried by a party of
five young men, who are now on their
way to the Klondike, says the ST. Louis,
Globe Democrat. These gold hunters
propose to travel together until they
have reached land which gives good
promise of paying. In this spot they
will plant a dry battery, from which
five wires will be run. The wires are
of the lightest insulated "copper" and
each man will carry spool sufficient
to run him for a day or two while
prospecting. Each night the wires will
be tapped, and the transmitting in
struments which the men carry will
be attached; Then each man will tell
the other of his days luck. AS soon
as one strikes a lead which looks like
panning out well, the others can be
summoned and will be able to locate
the find by following the leading wire.
In case neither finds paying claim
from the first battery station. all Of
them will return, pack up their stores,
trudge on and repeat their method

the direction of a practical miner of
long experience in California and other

his friends, it will be a guide for him

RECOMMENDS THE SALE.
Master in Chancery Reports on the
st. Cloud Power Case.

Howard Abbott, as master in chancery, has
Just completed his report to the United States
court in the case of the Illinois Trust and
Savings Bank company, of Chicago, against
the st. Cloud Water Power and Mill COM
pany. The report is a very lengthy one.
Mr. Abbott finds that there is due to the
trust company $114,220 on the company's
bonds, including principal and interest. Be-
sides, since it has been administering the
plant the trust company has expended $4,-
1851, and the rents and profits during the
same time have been $5,63256, leaving the
total due to the trust company $113,O13 20. In
addition the company has incurred about
$500 of bills, is entitled to $500 in fees and
the attorneys are allowed $500, of which
Calhoun & Bennett, of ST. Cloud, get $2,25O.
The report finds that the company's prop
erty, including everything, is worth $6215O,
the dam, water power, machinery and ad-
jacent property, etc, taking up 100000. The
dam is out Of repair and unless an extensive
overhauling is soon undertaken 1t will be
totally ruined. 1t is therefore recommended
that the property be sold at once. The bond
holders are very anxious to take possession
of the property and repair it.
The property is considered a good one, If
properly administered. At the lowest stage
of water there is at least 1850 horse power
available OF this amount $50 is now used
by two manufacturing companies and the
city of st. Cloud is given $50 horse power.
At present the users Of the power are paying
1915 a year per mill power, but after Jan. l
this rental is to be increased to $780, II all
the water power can be rented the property
should yield an income of not less than $l2,-
coo wear.
