A good toad story comes from Mesa City,
where toads grow to large size. Since the
advent of electric light in Mesa numbers
of bugs gather around the flame and die
from electric contact and fall to the ground,
where the toads have placed themselves so
as to catch them. This new diet has created
great thirst inthe toads, and as one of the
saloons in town is near the largest light the
toads have discovered the trough for the
beer drippings. On the hot nights that have
Just passed they have lined up at the trough
and drunk beer until either they fell from
intoxication or hoped sadly off to gather in
more bugs.
The number of school children has in
creased SO rapidly in Solomonville that the
erection OF a credtable school building by
bonding the district is being agitated.
There has been noted during the past week
the death of James Morris, resident of
Stafford, Ariz. Uncle Jim, as he was called
by his neighbors, was about the Oldest pio-
neer resident of Stafford.
There has been a roundup of cattle for
shipment at Fort Thomas the past week. as
a result of which 2500 head of fine cattle were
shipped to Kansas City. The consignment
of about sixty cars will go under the charge
of George Scarborough.
Colonel Wilson visited Globe during the
past week, where he was enthusiastically
received. A committee of Gila county Dem
ocrats met him at the reservation and es.
corted him to Globe. Colonel Wilson de-
voted large portion of last week to cam
paigning in Graham county. Wilson's
friends have promised him majority of 400

A Biometer to Measure vital Force

DR., Baraduc, who lately created a sensa.
tion by his revelations before the conoress
OF psychology at Munich, claims now To Rs We
devised delicate instrument known as The
"bometer," for measuring the intensity of
the vital force in man. This INTENSITY is
claimed to have proportionate effects in at-
tracing or repelling a delicatelv no;sed
needle so many degrees. Continued yonth
of course, depends upon the keeping Of this
force at it's maximum after middle aoe
When man is in perfect health the vital
current plays through his system from r;rht
to left, according to the biometer. The
right hand then will attract the needle ~.
teen degrees, because the current is entering
and the needle strives to follow the force
The left hand will repel it because the force
is leaving that extremity. Loss of yitalitv
is supposed to be shown by both hands re-
pelling the needle. During sleep. however
both hands attract it. A reversal of the
current of its own accord is looked upon as
a sure harbinger of trouble. According to
the doctor, an instrument which will then
reverse it again will greatly prolonp life He
has invented device which he claims will do
the work of renewing youth more effectively
than any other instrument yet invented.
As soon as the biometer registers great loss
of vitality, the subject is shut in cell in
which are arranged electric lights of great
intensity and other electric fixtures. After
remaining in this mysterious luminous bath
for five minutes he regains his maximum of
vigor, and thus has his youthful vitality re-
stored while he waits. The biometer after
ward indicates that the vital current has
been reversed, and is working overtime

will be the stronger the larger the area en-
closed by the conductor and the greater
rate of change of the current. Ii the latter
were generated in the ordinary way, the
rate OF change and consequently the dis
tance at which the action would be pract-
cally available for the present purpose would
be very small, but by adopting such means
as have devised-that is, either by passing
through the conducting path currents of
specially designed high frequency, alternate
or better still at those Of a strongly charged
condenser-a very high rate of charge may
be obtained and the effective range of the
influence thus extended over vast area, and
by carefully adjusting the circuit on the
moving body so as to be in exact electro-mag-
netic synchronism with the primary dis
turbances this influence may be utilized at
great distance.
Another way to carry out my invention
is to direct the currents or discharges of a
high frequency machine or condenser
through circuit one terminal of which is
connected directly or inductively with the
ground and the other with body, prefer
ably of large surface and at an elevation. In
this case, if the circuit on the moving body
be similarly arranged or connected, differ
ences of potential ON the terminals of the
circuit either by conduction or electric
static induction are produced and the same
objects attained.
"Still another way is to pass the currents
simply through the ground by connecting
the terminals of the source of high frequency
currents to earth at different and remote
points and to utilize the currents spreading
through the ground for affecting the recev-
ing circuit properly placed and adjusted
Finally, l may avail myself in carrying
out my invention of electrical oscillations
which do not follow any particular conduct
ing path but propagate in straight lines
though space Of rays, waves, pulses, or dis
turbances of any kind, capable of bringing
the mechanioism of the moving body into
action from distance and at the will of the
operator by their effect upon suitable con-
trolling devices"

SANG THEIR WAY THROUGH
Four Colored Lads Without a Cent
Toured England

Daniel Hankinson, Henry Hankinson,
"Vone" Maxson and George Harris, four
colored lads of Matawan, N. j., returned
on Friday from a two months trip, having,
without money, visited all the principal cit
les of England and Canada and many of the
cities of the United States. Daniel Hankin-
son, the oldest of the quartet, told CORE
spondent this story:
"We were tired of life around here and
agreed that we would try our chances of
seeing something of the world together. We
could all either play musical instruments or
sing, and we thought that we could pick up
enough money to pay our way around. l
had heard stories that colored men were
well treated in England and l told the fel-
lows about it, and we agreed to 90 there"
The boys went to New York on August l3
and slowed away on the steamship Georgi-
an, which sailed that night. When they
were driven from their hiding place by
hunger they were put to work herding
cattle.
eve landed at Liverpool" said Hankin-
son. "We had little money and had given
a concert on board the boat which had net
ted us few dollars. Maxson played the
banjo, Harris the violin, Henry the guitar,
and | sang. We picked up another fellow on
board, who joined our party and was
splendid dancer. We wanted to get to Lon
don, and we started in that direction. Some
of the fellows on the ship gave lis map of
the quickest way to get there. Our street
concerts seemed to take whit the people.
We took up collections and were surprised
to find that in day we were able to secure
nights lodging and have some sport
around whatever town we happened to be
in. If we had money enough we rode in
the trains. If we had not been very sue
cessful we took 'shank's mare
cat last we got to London. Here the
first day some fellows heard us playing in
the street and made bargain with us to
have us perform at clubhouse that night.
'Ye Olde Angel was the name of the club.
We were on time and gave the clubmen a
good evenings performance and were paid
well for it. From that time on we had
money to burn.
From London we tramped it, took in
Bristol, Worcester, Northampton, Birming-
ham, Leicester, Stafford, bennington, Man
chester, Stoke, Sheffield and number of
other cities, towns and villages"
Then the boys began to get homesick and
went back to Liverpool, got job as coal
passers on board the steamer Scotsman,
bound for Quebec, Canada, and finally land,
ed back again in Matawan by way of Boston
and New York.
Il think the fellows all want to see more
of Europe, and it is likely that we will start
out again in the spring for Paris and
France. New York World

Musical and Literary Entertainment

A pleasing entertainment was given last
night at Kramer's Music hall, consisting of
readings by Miss Angela Louise Anderson,
assisted by Lee Emerson Bennett. The
readings were interspersed with songs by the
Queen Vocal quartet, composed of Mrs w.
s. Kennedy, Mrs. Isabel Wyatt and Misses
Edith Preston and Aroline Ellis.
Miss Anderson's readings embraced selec-
tions ranging from ''The School for Scandal"
to the "Widow Doodle" the latter receiv-
ing the most applause. Mr.. Bassett gave
several serio-comic pieces, and when he got
over his preliminary nervousness showed
considerable cleverness.
The singing of the quartet was delightful
to listen to. 1t showed evidence of cultivated
taste and great ability in harmony of express
sion. The hall was prettily decorated and
the audience, which crowded it in every
part, was enthusiastic in its applause of each
and every number on the program.

company, passed through this city Monday,
EN- route to San Diego. They returned last

Best Armor Is Man Behind the Gun.

Best Armor Is Man Behind the Gun.
The two most important facts brought
out by the Manila fight are the ability
of modern ships, even of the unarmored
types, to engage land Notifications and
the incomparative value Of accurate
gunnery as q means Of defense against
the shell fire of the enemy. The aston
ishingly small casualties to our ships
and their crews during several hours Of
fighting is not all to be credited to poor
craftsmanship on the part of the Span
ish gunners. 1t was largely the result of
the rapidity and deadly accuracy of the
storm of shells thrown by our vessels
which rendered the gun positions un-
tenable and probably disabled the crews
faster than they could be replaced at the
guns.
A crack marksman behind modern
high powered rifle is worth whole inches
of armor protection to the ship Oh which
he serves, and it begins to look as
though the theorists might prove to be
correct who contend..that modern fights
will be decided by killing off tho gun
crews rather than by penetrating belts
and demolishing unarmorod ends and
upper Works.-Scientitic American.

Carrier Pigeons In Germany.

Germany has $50 carrier pigeon So
cieties, with over 100000 birds, and
military authorities there strive to make
them useful messengers of army NOV D.
ments. 1t is rather odd that in Austria
there should be but a single society,
and no attention paid to the utilities of
the bird in its relation to army move
ments. The routes Of fight followed in
Germany by the Military Pigeon society
are laid down every year by the Prus-
sian ministry of war. Fights take place
from Linz, st. Polten, Vienna and Blu
dapest for-training the birds, which are
sent in truckloads from Cologne. Over
