WARMING UP

RIVERSIDE, May 19-Although it is
early in the day, politics are warming up,
and the number of candidates who are will

The Republicans are Of the opinion that
all they will have to do will be to NOM
mate ticket and all hands will go right
into office. This being the feeling. of
course the race for place on the ticket is
to be warm. One Of the offices which prom
ises to develop a hot race among the Re-
publican aspirants for honor is that of dis
trict attorney. The announced candidates
to date are A. A. Caldwell, Lyman Evans,
A. A. Adair and P. s. Castleman. Some
Of these have ability to depend upon, while
others are looking to their pull to carry
them through. The Republican race for
the position Of clerk will go to w. w.
Phelps, ex-city clerk. but when 1t comes
to filing the places on the ticket for re-
corder and tag collector 1t will be different
and the rae. .or the attorneyship will be
duplicated. The treasurership will doubt
less be given to the present treasurer, D.
G. Mitchell. Finding a candidate for the
office Of assessor is going to be one of the
hard jobs that the Republicans will have to
do. The principal trouble confronting
them is the fact that the present assessor,
Mr.. Jarvis, Democrat. is SO popular that
he cannot be beaten by any man with a

FUN WITH DUTCH TEARS
Experiment Of Interest Which Almos
Any One Can Perform

"It IL a great wonder to me- SAID an oio
chemist in his laboratory the other day
why more boys do not take up chemical
experiments as an amusement why,
can do things with the common materials
of everyday life which really seem to be
more magical to the ununitiated than any
OF the wonders performed by magicians
on the public stage.
"Now. there are those curious little bub-
bles of glass known variously as Prince
Rupert's drops and as Dutch tears Ap-
parently they are merely little globuies
of glass with elongated tails. made by
heating a small glass rod in flame and
allowing the molten drops to fall into wa
ter. After they have cooled you may
pound the thick part with a hammer or
mallet, yet you cannot break them. On
the other hand, II you break little piece
of their tails. or touch any part OF them
with a quartz crystal, they will disappear
into the surrounding atmosphere quicker
than snow will melt on hot fire. To nc
person who does not know the reason. the
performance is most astonishing.
And yet it is all very simple. 1t Is due 70
what is known as surface cohesion. Glass
when heated to a molten state has natur-
ally reached a very high temperature, and
when the drops of melted glass are al
lowed to fall into the cold water the sud.
den change produces a stress all over the
surface of the drop which is really terrific.
This stress, however, must be considered
as whole. 1t is very strong when taken
all together, but 1t is exactly as though
a piece Of very thin rubber was stretched
over the surface of the glass. If you punc-
tured the rubber it's haste to resume its
normal condition would pull 1t of the
glass.
$50 when you break of the tail of the
drop or cut through the film of very hard
glass with a crystal, it's endeavor sudden
ly to resume its normal condition results
in its own destruction, and 1t breaks up
into particles. which are really finer than
the finest sand. 1t seems like wonderful
performance, but 1t is no more wonderful
than many another which any youngsier
could perform If he would study even rre
simplest forms ON chemical action.

sKIT THE GUITAR
Bold Burglar Leaves a Farewell Note
Behind Him

SAN BERNARDINO, May 19.-When the
family of Mrs. Olive A. Byrne rose this
morning they found that an unwelcome vis-
liant had been through the house while
they slept. The intruder made his en-
trance through a back window of the
kitchen and gathered all the silverware he
could find, took shawl that had been
thrown over the bread pan where batch
of bread had been put to rise over night to
keep it warm. and wrapped the silverware
in it, and then made his way upstairs into
the sewing room, where a trunk caught his
attention. Opening this, he found q new
piece Of heavy oilcloth that he thought
he might have use for, missing however,
a better piece in the same trunk, and hav-
ing secured about all he could carry, left,
but not before he had written note of
thanks to the occupants Of the house. This
was plainly written, showing the writer
could do better work with the pencil If he
cared to take the time. 1t read: "San B.

here?" was the first salutation, and the
next moment the engro went through
window and fed. In a dark corner of the
room was found not only all the silverwars
and other things taken from the Byrne
residence. but pocketbook with two
chains, watch charm containing baby's
picture, gold stud. number of curios
of various kinds in the way of odd bank
bills, and a number of cards and clippings,
but not word that gave any clue to the
owner. This did not come from the Byrne
house and 1t is not known who is the
owner, but the publication of the affair
will bring the owner without doubt, as the
collection is such that the owner would
easily recognize it.
The police were informed of both the
robbery and the discovery and are on the
scent of the burglar. but have found no
trace of him as yet. When driven from the
building his clothes were wet to the knees,
as though he had been tramping across

far have done nothing to show In a SUBJ

Schoch. to be used only for emergencies
and on vote of the company.
