The story is out OF the ordinary. Mr

HOT WELLS IN ARIZONA.
Were Once Cold and Inhabitants Fear an
Earthquake.

The wells in parts of Arizona have
recently become producers of hot water,
says the Omaha Bee, and apprehension
is felt by many of the residents of the
region affected that they are about to
become participants in a grand volcanic
drama. In some of the wells the temper
ature of the water rose 20 degrees in a
single night. In a few days the phe
nomenon disappeared soon after its APP
pearance. In a majority of cases., how
ever, the wells fairly steam from their
newly acquired heat. The first known
Of this curious state OF affairs was a
report that the wells at Maricopa, on
the Southern Pacific railroad, 30 miles
south of Phoenix, had suddenly become
hot.
II was four days thereafter that the
phenomenon first was noticed a dozen
miles west of that place. a test at one
well showed a temperature Of nearly 100
degrees. No difference is noted in wells
i'm the immediate vicinity of Phoenix.
The line of subterranean heat wave
follows the general direction of the ST.
ezra Estrella mountains, a volcanic
chain lying Immediately south of the
ella river. Thence 1t appears to con-
tinue on in the direction of the Harqua
Hala mountains, near which are a num-
Der of large and modern volcanic cones
and hills of drifted volcanic ash. Fur
Their to the east the Lar flows are so
geologically modern as to have over
whelmed in a number of places the cliff
dwellings of the ancients.

SHORTENED LIVES.

"A Century.

'fhhuA
Almost all persons die of ~disappoint-
ment, personal, mental, or bodily toll
or accident, says Pearson's Weekly. The
passions kill men sometimes even sud
denly. The common expression, 'chok-
ed with rage" has little eXaggeration In
It, for even though not always suddenly
fatal, strong passions shorten life.
Strong bodied men often die young,
and weak men usually live longer than
the strong, for the strong use their
strength and the weak have hardly any
to use-the latter take care OF them-
selves, the former do not.
AS IL is with the body, so II Is with
the mind and the temper-the strong are
apt TO break, or, like the candle, run;
the weak burn out.
Man. of all animals, is one that sell

Biological law, but instead of that he

From the Philadelphia Times.
Poets have sung the charms OF the

BUTTE News.
BUTTE PUBLIC LIBRARY
Some of the Recent Additions TO
the Shslves.
IN REVIEW AND CRITICISM
"Arachne." by Prof. Georg NJ. Eoers-His
Series OF Egyptian Historical
Novels-Grant Aliens
Latest.

Among recent additions 10 fiction in the
Butte free public library are two books
which are probably the last productions Of
authors who wrought particularly well in
very diverse fields. "Arachnc," BY Profess
for Georg NJ Ebers is an historical
novel ealing with life In ancient Egypt.
Among contemporary Psychologists Pro
fessoT Ebers has long held a leading place
and the best Of his fiction has been con-
nected with the history OF the valley OF
the Nile. No better work has been done In
fiction in recent years than by Professor
Ebers I'm his series of Egyptian historical
novels, viz. "Uarda." "The Sisters, The
Emperor" Egyptian Princess bride
of the Nile" Joshua" and "The Thorny
Path" These books are all carefully true
70 historical fact. as well as more than
ordinarily interesting. The plot of 'Uar-
ia is placed In the time Of the exodus.
That OF The Emperor" IN the days Of
Trajsn. while An Egyptian Princess"
depicts in vivid colors conditions under
Nero. Besides the books concerning an
cient times. Professor Ebers tried his
hand at historical novels dealing with
medieval German history. And here his
touch was not so happy. THE Burgomas-
ters Wife" a story of the siege of Ley
den, takes rank with HIS ancient ro-
mances, but his other novels were decid-
eddy inferior.
The other book which we alluded to in
our Introductory sentence is 'The Red
Bridge Neighborhood." by Miss Maria
Louise Pool. Miss Pool as an artist who
oelineated the narrow and stultihed char
acters among New England people. was
only inferior to Miss wilkins. She de-
picted the same kind OF life that Miss
wilkins has so fully portrayed, but yet
not with the hand OF an imitator. Her
work was very uneven. and while far
from being cheerful reading, was emil
vened by a fund OF humor. which relieved
II from being entirely oppressive. The
book TO which we have alluded perhaps IL
illustrates as well as any other what is to
be commended in her workmanship.
Wheat In the Ear" by Alien. Is a story
of New Zealand life by the author Of "ln
Golden Shackles." a book which found
friends among our readers a year or more
age.
Grant Allen IL always a brilliant and
strong writer. II is TO be regretted that
he is so often unfortunate IN his choice
of themes. But when he has a satisfactory
subject he is easily recognized as one Of
the best Of contemporary writers. The
Incidental Bishop" his latest novel, Is
one of his best.
An author who has as yet written hut
few books. but whose books have 50 far
all been specially readable, Is Miss Lillian
Bell. and "A Little Sister TO the Wilder
