THE GREEN RAY"
70 De seen Fressently at the Delta
Of the Nile.

To De Seen Frequently at the Delta
Of the Nile.
The green ray, an optical phenom-
enon which has been made the founda-
ton Of a story by Jules Verne. is a
fash of greenish light seen as the limb
Of the sun rises or sets under certain
conditions Of the atmosphere. The sea
horizon is good for observing it, but
the effect is occasionally seen in the Alps
or other mountains, and, according to
Plot Bey in a paper to the Academic des
Sciences, Paris, it is often to be observ-
ed in Egypt from the point of the del
ia to Alexandria or Suez. either ut rise
or set of sun.
The ray is distinctly visible, and al
ways Of an emerald green. which is
brighter as rule at sunrise than sun
set. At sunset, when the eye can follow
the effect better, the ray sometimes APP
pears longer and ultimately takes blue
tinge. This blue ray has also been OBJ
served preceding the "green ray at
rise, for example, by Mr.. William Gaff,
near the ruins of Memphis. not far from
the stepped pyramid Of saggarah. He
even thinks the ancient Egyptians were
familiar with it, because in monuments
Of the fifth dynasty and others the sign
of "Kha," representing the rising sun,
has the outer streak of blue color and
the two inner streaks are green. Their
writings also speak of the greenness Of
the sun on rising. and they liken it to
an emerald.
1t is evident from all this that the
''green ray is an objective, not sub
jective, phenomenon, and that the hori-
zon of the sea has nothing to do with it.
Nevertheless the state of the atmos-
phere evidently has to do with it, and
that of Egypt, ordinarily pure, seems to
have much. for the ray is seldom seen
elsewhere on land.

SOME PROSPERITY PRICES.

While the trusts have here and
there increased the wages of their
employees they have in every in
stance added several times as much
to their own profits, and the people
foot the entire bill. The Emporia
Times has taken the trouble to OBJ
tain from the merchants of that
city the increase in the price of
articles of necessity as compared
with the selling price of a year ago.
Stoves have increased 80 per cent.
Wagons have increased from four
to five dollars
Copper has doubled in price.
Fourteen inch plows sold for $40
now sell for $14
Ropes that sold for five cents
now sell for twelve cents pound.
A common stove pipe which sold
last year for ten cents now goes for
20 cents.
Bolts and rods have gone up 75
per cent.
Tin has increased from 81 so to
50 box
Cultivators have increased about
SO or 81.
Hoes, forks, rakes, shovels, spades
and all such articles have gone up
As per cent.
Nails, per key, have increased
from $3.50 to $4.10.
Barbed wire, from $2.4O hum
dred to $3.50.
Binder Irvine which cost cents
a pound now sells for II to II cents
pound,
Glass has increased 40 per cent.
Other articles of general use
show like increase in cost to the
consumer.
In every instance the trusts have
added enormous profits, every cent
of which must come out of the
people, who have heard so much
and seen so little of the boosted
mckinley prosperity"

Exaggerated statements concern
ing mine development, ore in sight,
production and possibilities, are in
these DAYS taken with much allow
ance. Twenty or thirty years ago
less attention was given to the fact
than now A mine with half a
million in sight would readily sell
then for double the amount. Now
the cost of equipment and product
ion is charged against the half mill
lion and reasonable allowance
made for ore not blocked out, for
experience has proven that ore
bodies are cratic; they often fail to
''go down." or going down, have
been known to decrease materially
in value. There are some who can
not understand why this is So They
were known in the good old days.
when everything was taken for
granted, and they can see no reason
why the same conditions should
not be obtained now Then all min
ing was looked upon as gamble
and investors had to take gam
bler's chance. Now mining is a
legitimate business and it is yearly
growing more conservative. Capital
is ready for investment, but it must
see something tangible, and where
this is possible it is not more timid
than in ventures in other lines.
Mining experts are not now solicited
to give opinions as to what can not
be seen; but to state facts concern
ing mining property as determin-
ed by development. They must al
so advise as to treatment of ores,
equipment, transportation of pro-
duct, etc. The palmy days of specu-
lative miner and investor are gone,
and instead is found a demand for
facts.-Minimg and Scientific Press.

BOARD or SUPERVISORS
A Variety of BusinesS-N Compul-
sorry Education Law claim.

The board of supervisors met yester-
day to close up the business of the
month. After dispCsing of routine
matters the subject of the new Tempe
Mesa road was taken up and arrange
ments We're made for its opening. The
law requires that the route must be
gone over by three appraisers, one of
whom mast be the county surveyor.

Captain P. p. Parker was appointed

W. A. Kimball of Mesa were named as
appraisers. The expected opposition to
the opening of the road did not mani
fest itself but it is not too late yet.

er, Glendale.
Constable Frank McClintock pre-
scented Il unique claim. 1t was for
meritOrious services. but no provision
is made by law for its payment. It
grew out of the new compulsory edu-
cation law. Under the law the clerk
of the board of trustees of Cartwright
district made out a list of the pupils
not attending school and gave it 20
Constable McClntOck. The list was
long one and the constable had to call
On every member. He earned enough
in mileage fees, if there had been any
fees to enable him to retire from office
with a competency.
Though he did his duty, he did not
accomplish anything else. He found
that of the pupils on the delinquent
list some We're sick, some had moved
out of the district and some were at
tending school in other districts IN
violation of another school law which
requires that before a pupil can at
tend school in any other district than
his own he must obtain the consent Of
the trustees of both. In these cases the
trustees of the Cartwright district
had not been consulted, otherwise the
pupils would not have been reported as
delinquent. Most of these pupils, by
the way, have come to Phoenix.

fAVORS A PUBLIC SYSTfM
Dr.. Psrmsn Regarding the New Wal
er Works Project.

DR.. D. NJ. Purman, who returned some
the coast greatly improved in health,
has resumed his practice and his in
terest in Phoenix affairs. He regards
the municipal water works project as
the most important matter to be con-
sidered just now and takes even a
stronger stand in favor of a public
system than he did last spring when
the question was put before the peO-
pie, who only half understood it then.
The doctor believes that now is the
time to settle it and it can be done if
the right kind of a demand is made.
He agrees with The Republican that
the prospective system should not be
regarded as a burden to be supported
by taxation, but as a means of rev
enue. He points out that the income OF
the Phoenix Water company is $4,000
and that its net income is greater than
the total sum derived by Phoenix from
taxation. 1t is not to be sup
posed, of course, that the in
come of a public system would
be so great, since one of the objects is
OF putting it in would be to secure much
lower rates to water users than they
now enjoy and better facilities than
are now afforded them. DR.. Purman
does not favor the needless destruction
Of the value of the water company
plant. He believes the right course for
the council to follow in the event the
bonds are voted is to try to come to
terms with the water company for the
purchase of its plant al precisely what
it is worth and no more. If the COM
pany cannot be gotten to agree upon
an equitable figure, then proceed to
duplicate its mains

to buy sugar. 1t seems to me that
good American citizens would not,
even if there was no law prohibiting it,
enter into any scheme to rob children
of one of the most essential accomplish
ments. In fact, I know they would
not. Perhaps they have never stopped
to think that when they allow eight or
ten pupils to enter their school from an
outside district that they are taking
two months schooling from forty or
fifty others. We have talked this mat
ter over among ourselves in district No.
So and have come to the conclusion
that the officers in Phoenix believe
themselves to be a machine and we

THE HOSPITAL PROJECT
Meeting for Preliminary Work Held
Last Week.

A small but earnest gathering of la
dies and gentlemen met at the court
house last night pursuant to public call
TO discuss the new hospital project
spoken of in these columns in a recent
issue.
Mayor CAM was made chairman AMI
he made a short address stating the
object of the meeting. which was to
take steps for the forming of an as
sociation having for its object the in
shutting Of a non-sectarian hospital
in or near the city, and that, at the
earliest possible day.
DR.. Hughes was made secretary Of
the meeting Judge Woodward made
a short speech pointing to the urgent
necessity of the hospital and giving
many reasons why it should become
reality.
He was followed by Dr.. Ward, Dr..
Thomas and others and in order to get
the matter started on a good business
basis and secure the influence and help
of the public generally. a motion car
ried that a committee be appointed TO
confer with every church and secret
society in the city and request them 20
send delegation of three or more
members to represent them at the next
meeting which VIII be held Thursday
night, November ., in the court house.

a HOT FIVE MINUTES
Fire and a Lady with Presence of
Mind Mixed Up.

A lady by the name of Mrs. Brown.
though that isn't really her name, had
a warm and exciting five minutes a few
days ago. She was on her way home
from Phoenix in buggy. AS she was
passing a house her sense of smell
was assailed by burning cloth. She
saw a fire near the house and supposed
that the smell proceeded from refuse
that the fire had been created to de-
stroy. Further on the road she
thought she smelled the burning rags.
and still a half mile further on as she
was passing another house she smeIled
the same disagreeable perfume and
wondered if all the people along the
road had agreed upon that day and
hour as the time for destroying useless
textile fabric. Then she had some
light on the matter. 1t was furnished
by a fierce flame which leapt up from
the bottom of her dress into her lap

members has taken. This same person

Now the trustees Of the city schools
seeing that to enforce the law will stop
the flow of money from outside dis
tricts to the city. have made up their
minds that the law is unconstitutional,

them before acting on The bill. as some

A TApEWORM EPIDEMIC
What Has Allied NOgsIeS All Tht sc
Years.

A gentleman who has lately. come
from Nogales, reports a tapeworm cpl
demic there. The people knew that
something was the matter with them,
but they didn't know what. They never
suspected tapeworms, because tape
worms had been supposed to be spor-
adic or rather isolated or independent.
Nobody had ever heard of them col
onizing in one community that way.
This doctor came armed with testi-
monials from President Diaz and high
officers in the Mexican army in which
he had practiced. The tapeworm was
not a speciality and he was not looking
for tapeworms. In fact, he was not
looking for any particular ailment and
did not come to Nogales to settle into
practice. He first attracted attention
by his system of diagnosis. He did not
feel the victims pulse, beat his lungs
or compel him to dislocate his tongue.
He merely looked him in the eye and
said You've got so and So but in
three cases out of five he said You've
got a tapeworm," and in every case
nosis was proved to be correct. Some
times a patient was found to have
complication of diseases and almost
invariably one of them was a tape
worm.
There was a great deal of alarm on
the Mexican side when these discOv-
cries began to be made. but the doctor
quickly showed that he was as skillful
in, al Ie no. &c
in tracing it to its lair, so that No
gales. Sonora, is now enjoying a free
dom from vermicular bondage and
which was none the less calling be-
cause it had been unsupported.
The American side of the town
looked upon this tapeworm contagion
at first with indifference. 1t was re-
garded as a Mexican disease which
could no more cross the international
boundary line than a troop of Mexican
cavalry could under the convention
between the two republics. There
fore the Americans pitied their neigh
bors without participating in their
CONSERVATION and alarm.
Shortly before the gentleman left
Nogales the doctor had carried his in
vestigation into the American town.
The epidemic was found to be as wide
spread as it had been on the other
side. The tapewOrm had permeated
the whole social system of American
Nogales. not respecting the artificial
distinctions which the inhabitants had
created. 1t was reveling in the midst
of the poor and lowly just as it was
holding high carnival among the high
and mighty. The cure was begun
promptly and the pestiferous reptile
was rapidly yielding to the methods Of
the doctor. For years Nogales has
been kept in the foreground by the
strife and dissension which have pre-
vailed there. 1t was believed to be the
outgrOwth of a bitter political par
