Ed. Hamilton reports the sale of
three new Ramblers last week.
Eddie Bald will ride for Spald-
ing this year. Bald was easily the
champion OF last year scoring nearly
twice as many points as Gardiner,
his nearest competitor.
Gene Hawkins received three
new Crescents last week, c. L.
Swinhart purchasing one of them.
Crescents and Ramblers are the
two leading wheels in La Junta
this year.

The largest sum ever paid to a
cyclist west Of New York will be
paid to Jimmy Michaels by the
managers of Minneapolis track
for two weeks record breaking
engagement. The price for the
two weeks is to be $40, 600, quite a
bit OF money.
A great many riders say, "What
gear had l ought to use1" That
is very perplexing question and
to large extent must be settled
by the rider himself. The standard
gear this year for all around riding
is about II and is high enough for
the majority OF people. For a
person that does but very little
riding IL is about right, and for
the racer from SO to GO, with g. as
a favorite. You do not want
gear that you will have to run your
legs off to go somewhere. :.
All those interested in the for
nation Of bicycle. club are re
quested to meet at Ed. Hamilton's
next Tuesday evening. La Iunta
has large number OF riders and
it certainly ought to have good
club with a first-class membership.
Nearly every town the size OF La
Junta has cycling club. A good
club once started with energetic
officers at the head Of it, would at
tract every desirable rider in the
city. A club room could be fitted
up at a small expense and provided
with the leading newspapers, cy-
cling magazines and various games
which would prove an attractive
place to spend leisure hour. Let
some one start the ball rolling.

shown with liquid air is the liquefying
of ordinary street gas. This was done
by simply taking glass tube open at
the top and inserting it's closed bottom
in jar of LIQUID air, while the street
gas was turned into it at the top.
There was no smell of gas in the room,
and few moments later, when the
tube was taken away from the gas
pipe, 1t was found partly filled with the
street gas in a LIQUID form. A cork
was now inserted in the top of the
tube, having a small pipe in it, and as
the street gas began to evaporate a
match was touched to this pipe. The
gas did not return to it's former COM
position as it evaporated. First there
arose the lighter parts, which burned
with a blue flame. and then came a
part which burned with a yellow
flame, and finally a heavy part, which
made a great smoke.
Whether liquid air can be made of
commercial value or not is uncertain.
Mr.. Tripler declares that he can pro-
duce it for sixty or eighty cents a gall
Ion and that it can be used for great
many purposes Among these are re-
frigerating instead Of ice and for the
production of power by using it's ex-
pansive force in an engine like steam
engine. For household refrigerating
he would pour a pint or so of the IL
quid air into a refrigerator every day
and get GOODNESS and supply Of fresh
air to keep the ice box sweet by its
evaporation. He has many other
schemes, such as using it instead of
powder to shoot cannon balls.
Science believes that it has found in
liquid air a means of learning much
which has heretofore been a mystery
about physics, by using the intense
cold in connection with a study of the
qualities Of metals and other sub
stances, just as heat has been used,
and 1t also believes that Mr.. Tripler's
method of producing liquid air may be
applied to the reduction of all the 9TH
er gases and bringing them to liquid
or perhaps a solid form. In this way
it might be possible to prove beyond a
question whether, for example, hydro
gen is or is not metal. Hydrogen has
been frozen in some experiments, and
| as it fell in minute drops it made a
rafting noise on the floor as If 1t had
solid center to each drop, but it was in
such small particles and so evanescent
| that no actual examination was made
| of it.
| Mr. Tripler, as has been said. is fur
nishing considerable quantities of the
| liquid air to Columbia university and
Professor Rood Of the physics depart
ment is engaged in line of expert.
ments with it which, he believes will
| prove of great interest to science

victim of our guns. Beyond the Paseo
an excellent road extends two miles
farther out to the forts on Punta Cor
da-"Fat Point" "On the hills near
est the bay are the barracks of Santa
Isabella, the military hospital, and
those dreadful sheds in which the dy-
ing reconcentrados are huddled, where
we saw such narrowing sights
with the Thurston- Gallinger party
some weeks before. Then up the
slopes of the Cumbre we wound by
steep and stony activities to the sum-
init of the ridge The landscape
spread out on either side is something
to live in the memory. More than
thirty miles of undulating shore-line
bay in its amphi-theater of hills look
ing like majestic river, and the ocean

Of the ridge the level plain, with the
river running through and the city
creeping up the hillside; on the other
the lovely valley of the Yumuri, with
it's countless palms and burned cane
fields and ruined homes enveloped in a
veil Of mist. Like Rasselas' happy
valley" it is so hemmed in by high
precipices that it seems cut off from
the rest of the world, and ought to be
the abiding place of pastoral content
But the heart is saddened on review
ing it's history from the earliest days
of Spanish occupancy. Fancy sketches
the scenes of carnage which marked
IT'S conquest in 1911, when thousands of
the peaceful Indians We're cruelty mas
sacred. The remnant, driven by blood
hounds to the surrounding heights,
were forced in despair to throw them
selves down the precipices into the riv-
er below. Disappearing, they cried Yo

valley-so says tradition.

A WAR CHAMBER IN THE WHITE
HOUSE.

A war chamber has been established
at the White House. A force of work
men, including electricians, have been
employed Transforming the room form
erly occupied by Private Secretary
Porter into presidential war chamber.
The room faces south and it is contigu-
GUS to the presidents business Office
and his eabinet room. War maps of
Cuba, the West Indies, and the entire
eastern and western hemispheres have
been arranged upon the walls for the
convenience of the president. Three
sets of Geographic instruments have
been placed in the room for the trans
mission of information to the presi-
dent direct from all points of the globe.
While the war is going on new set
of rules will be in sorce at the execu-
tive mansion. The war chamber
will be licked from the inside, so that
the doorway through which visiting
statemen have hitherto passed en- route
to the presidents room is blockaded
until further orders Arthur Simmons,
the sable messenger who guards Pri-
waite Secretary Porter's door, is to be
moved down to the presidents door, on
which a pass key and lock has been
placed. Captain Loeffer will continue
as outside guardian to the cabinet
room as of old. A spring lock will also
be played upon the cabinet door, so
that senators, representatives, and
other privileged callers, who have pre-
viously had free access to these rooms,
| will have to be announced or wait un-
til the latch is lifted before they are all
lowed RI reach the president
The reason given for the new rule of
practice and the precautions, which
SAVIOR of exclusiveness, is that the pres
ident desires every reasonable facility
for obtaining information from the
| front. The cabinet room, his private Of
| flee, and the war chamber" are con-
| secutive suit. 1t is not always con-
venient for the president to cross the
corridor to visit the executive telegraph
| office AS a matter of convenience to
| the president and the members Of the
| cabinet, Private Secretary Porter va
| Gated his office and moved over to the
| room formerly used as the telegraph
! office. Now the president will have free
| and unobstructed access to the rooms
running along the southern front of
| the mansion. The restrictions temper
| arily placed on official visitors will pre-
/ vent the president and his callers from
embarra ssment at periods when it may
| be necessary for the president to deny
| himself to even his best friends Hith-
erto it has been the practice for sena-
| tors and representatives to walk right
in to the presidents room without
knocking. The new arrangement may
prove little irritating at rst but it is
believed that reasonable men will APP
preciate the necessity for the change
under existing circumstances.-Wa

FLOGGING AT THE CARTS TAIL.
Although fiogging at the carts tail is
generally supposed to have ceased af-
ter 1927 various Instances are on rec
ord up to 1888, when man convicted
Of robbery from the person was slowly
paraded through the principal street of
Saltash with bare back and fogged at
the carts tail, to which one of his
hands was lashed at either side. Two
men, armed with cats-of- nine-tails,
laid on heavily, and were scolded by
the beadle, or crier in uniform, for not
hitting harder" The punishment was
sometimes reduced to a farce when the
administering hand had been we'll
"oiled," or belonged to a soft-hearted
officer Of justice, as in a. case mention
ed by the poet Cowper, where the thief
was the only one concerned who suffer-
ed nothing.
A youth had stolen some homework
at Olney. Being convicted" says
Cowper, "he was ordered to be whipped
which operation he underwent at the
carts tail, from the stone house to the
high arch, and back again. He
was all an imposition upon the public.
The beedle who performed it had filed
his left hand with red ochre, through
which, after every stroke, he drew the
lash of his whip, leaving the appear
ance of a wound upon the skin, but in
reality not hurting him at ALL This be-
ing perceived by Mr.. Constable Hinsch-
comb, who followed the beadle, he APP
piled his cane, without any such man
agement or precaution, to the shoulders
of the too merciful executioner. The
scene Immediately became more inter-
esting. The beadle could by no means
be prevailed upon to strike hard, which
provoked the constable to strike hard
err; and his double flogging continued
till lass of Silver End, plying the
| pitiful beedle, thus suffering under the
hands of the pitiless constable, joined
| the procession, and, placing herself i'm
mediately behind the latter, seized him
| by his capillary club, and, pulling him
backwards by the same. slapped his
| face with a most Amazonian fury
