DEATH IN THE DESERT.
Two Stories of II Journey Of Three MOI

Two Stories Of IL Journey of Three Men
That Brought Death to One OF Them.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
San Diego dispatch: According to the
story told by Ed Moore of this city
and by S. Green Of Los Angeles. who
arrived here last night from the Colo
RADIO desert, Joseph S. Stanley of Ba-
kersfield is dead at Coyote Wells from
the effects of the terrible hardShipS ex-
perienced by the three young men a
week ago. There is some difference,
htoeveT'. in the stories told by Moore
and Green, and until some investiga-
ton has been made by the authorities
the exact facts will not be known.
Green's story is hat the three men left
San Diego nine days ago., intending to
drive to Yuma, where Moore was to re-
main, and the other two men We're to
continue by wagon TO Texas. They
mad one horse, with plenty of provi-
slcns in the wagon, but only carried
water enough to last from one water
ing place to another. At Buzzards'
Roost, half way across the desert, be-
tween Campo and Yuma, the horse re-
fused to drink, and was so weak that
it could not proceed. The men at
tempted to reach Yuma on foot, a
distance of thirty miles, but failed, and
decided to retrace their steps to San
Diego. At Cameron Lake, Stanley
commenced to bleed at the mouth,
finally lying down in the hot sun with
his face upward. Moore and Green
were unable to help him beyond CIV
ing him part Of their supply Of water.
Afterward Stanley revived and follow
ed them, but at Coyote Wells fell I'M
conscious. Before Green and Moore
left there Stanley revived and shook
hands with them. saying he was IN
able to go further and begging them
to go on. MOore's account Of the Of
fair is radically different. He states
that on Tuesday, April 1S, they en-
twenty-seven miles to Laguna Lake
with the greatest difficulty. None Of
the men could speak. their tongues be-
ing swollen. STANLEY died from ex-
haustion," said Moore, 'and we buried
him under a mesquite tree, though
Green and | were at the time nearly
dead from thirst and starvation. We
managed to reach Jacumba, where we
got something to eat, and then cama
on to San Diego"

There are spots in the ocean where
the water is five miles deep. If it is
true that the pressure of the water on
any body in the water is n pound
to the square inch for every two feet
of the depth anything at the bottom Of
one Of the "nve-mile holes" would
have a pressure about it OF 1920 feet
to every square inch. There is nothing
Of human manufacture that would re-
sist such a pressure. That it exists
there is no doubt. 1t is known that
the pressure on a ~well-corked glass
bottle at the depth of 800 feet is so
great that the water will force its way
through the pores Of the glass. 1t is
also said that pieces of wood have been
weighted and sunk IN the sea to such
a depth that the tissues have become
so condensed that the wood has lost
its buoyancy and would never float
again. 1t could not be even made to
burn when dry,

An Attentive Audience.

III attentive -AuOlcnce.
Lecturers and other public entertain
ers appreciate greatly an attentive au-
dience, but is there such a thing as
being too attentive? The story is told
that not long ago a w~ell-known novel
list delivered a lecture in a New Jersey
town. After the lecture, when the peo-
pie met, they talked about the affair,
as was their wont.
Were you at the lecturer" one
ask another, and in every case
the answer was:
"Oh, yes. | was there, but I couldn't
hear a word. Did you hear it,"
We'll, no: l was there, but l couldn't
hear, either"
No one could be found who had
heard a word. About this time an ac-
quaintance of the novelist heard from
friends in the place this accoun of
the matter, and meeting the lecturer,
asked him what kind of an audience
he had had there, and how he liked
the place.
Its a fine place. said the novelist,
land had the most attentive audience
l have ever spoken to-. Why, no one
made a sound, and l didn't have to
raise my voice above a whisper!"

Two Natural Foes.

Water will extinguish fire because
the water forms a coating over
the fuel, which keeps it from the air,
and the conversion of water into
steam draws of the heat from the
a fire fiercer, while a large quantity Of
water puts it out. The explanation
is that water is composed of oxygen
and hydrogen. When, therefore, the
fire can decompose the water into its
simple elements it serves as fuel to the
flames.

Statistics compiled for railroad rec
ords indicate that inexperienced en-
ployes are more careful than those who
have grown old in railroad service.
According to these statistics the larg-
est average of injuries occurred after
the employees had been in service six
years, and the figures given would in
dictate that the employees as a general
rule are careful up to the time when
they have been in the service three or
four years, and then become more care
less until about their eighth year Of
service, when the figures show that
they again become more careful, as
those who had worked over ten years
have a smaller comparative percentage
of injuries than those who had worked
six years.

Sam Jones is the embodiment of an

clergyman who often assists him in his

this story in the early history of Mr.

vited by DR.. Talmage to hold series Of
meetings in the Doctors Brooklyn
church. Mr.. Jones went to DR.. Tai
mage's home during the afternoon of
the day on which his engagement began
and introduced himself Mr. Talmage
looked him over and was evidently a lit
tie taken aback at the rather shabby APP
pearanoe of the evangelist. AS it APP
preached evening he said, Brother
Jones, would you take it amiss if | pre-
sented you with new suit of clothes?'
Certainly not, " said the accommodate
ing Samuel. He was taken to clothier
and fitted from head to foot, topping all
with high hat.
At church the doctor introduced him
as the Rev. Samuel P. Jones from
Georgia. Mr.. Jones arose with his new
hat in hand and repeated, eyes, the
Rev. Samuel P. Jones from Georgia, "
and added: "And this is the new suit
of clothes and this the new hat your
pastor has presented to me- If your pas
tor had as much of the grace of God in
his heart as he has pride, he would con-
vert all Brooklyn and would not need
me. "-Homiletic Review.
