A NOVEL PLAN.
The Steam, from n Hot Artesinn Well
In Oregon to BE Utilized
as Needed.

William Lee, of Ontario, in north
eastern Oregon is preparing to devel-
op a novel project, 10y which he will al
most attain perpetual motion. He in
tends to make use Of great head OF
steam generated in the interior Of the
earth for running pumps. which shall
pump water on a large scale for irri-
cation purposes.
The steam now reaches the surface
through large artesian well between
Ontario and Vale. He has secured the
water rights to this well and will
pierce a suhtcrrauean steam chamber
beneath by putting large steel pipes
down the well. The steam will then
he piped to big boilers, whence it can
be drawn off as needed to operate the
engine and pumps. TO begin with, sew
eral hundred horse power will be gen
Grated. The pumps will elevate water
from the Malhcur river near by for
use in irrigatng a large tract OF rich
volcanic ash land, which needs only
water to make IL as productive as Walla

HORSE WITH HORSE SENSE.
The Intelligent Animal Learned How
to Operate an Automatic
Feeding Machine.

The manager of the Maine Provision
and Cold Storage company. Mr.. Vose,
has a gray horse which knows as mRh.
as any animal in the city, says ihe Port
land Press, not excepting the fire de-
partment horses, as his owner thinks.
The company stables its horses on Fore
street, and Mr.. Nose's horse is also
kept there. To do away with the ne
cessity of hiring a man to go to the
stable at four o'clock every morning
TO feed these horses an Ingenious device
was arranged which answered every
purpose until the arrival of the gray
horse. The device consisted OF two
alarm clocks which were set to go
off at four o'clock. A heavy weight
was so arranged that when the
alarm started the weight would
drop and pull wire which opened the
trap doors and the feed then came tusn-
bling into the hangers of the horses.
After the arrival Of the gray horse
it was noticed that all of the horses
became very hungry long before noon
each day. This could not be accounted

After the horses were fed at night and

This Account Says the word sterling

Sterling Is derived from the name by
which the dwellers in eastern Ger
many we're known In the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries--they were called
Easterlings. The purity not only OF
their money was very famous, but that
of their silver specially so, and coiners
and siyersmiths were fetched from
those parts TO improve the quality OF
cur own manufactures, says the Lon
don Telegraph.
So far back as 1897 two counterfeit
,rs who sold spurious silver articles
bearing a simulated royal lion and the
coldsmiths marks, were sentenced to
stand in Il pillory nj Westminster, with
their ears nailed thereto. and with pa
pers above their heads setting forth
the nature OF the oifense for which
they were so disgraced. After this
degradation they were publicly
marched 10 Cheapside. put in the pill
lory there and had each one ear cut

fine of ten marks each. 1t seems that
in recent times the record price for
Elizabethan silver was $40 los. per

from f5 70 Ell per ounce, according
to the artistic workmanship displayed

RIGID BURIAL RULES.
Resolutions to Prevent Burying of
People While Alive.
New York Board of Health May Adopt
Stricter Examin ation and Test
ing to Make Certain life
Is Extinct.

The New York board of health is
discussing the adoption of resolutions
drawn up by the Society of Medical
Jurisprudence providing for more
rigid investigation of apparent deaths
for the purpose of the prevention of
premature burials. The resolutions
were submitted to Superintendent
Murphy by DR.. II. j. Garrigus. chair
man of the committee on apparent
death of the society, and President
Murphy has expressed himself as inn
pressed by the resolutions and the re-
marks of DR.. Garrigus on the subject.
The matter will be laid before the
board of health for action in the near
future, and President Murphy has as
sured the Society of Medical Juris-
prudence of his support in the matter
Should the board of health coincide
with the sense of the resolutions an
alteration of the sanitary code will be
necessary. The commissioners of the
board gave much time to a discussion
of the resolutions and voted to invite
a committee from the Society of Med
ical Jurisprudence TO confer with the
sanitary commission on the proposed
change in the code. Afte, having
enumerated the different means by
which death is at present determined
rnd the laXity of those methods at
times the resolutions advise the adop-
uon of certain rules.
1t is suggested that in the first place
only authorized practitioners should
decide the matter of death and that
the blank forms of death certificates
should be changed so as to contain the
declaration that the physician has
made a personal examination. 1t is
further recommended that the chief
signs of death be enumerated in the
blank and certified to by negative or
affirmative statement and that the
beard of health make it illegal by ordi-
nance to subject the body of the sup
posed dead to any injection or ex-
posurc Lntil the death has been prop
erly ascertaned and certified TO in
accordance with the law

AB|UT FACIAL ANGLES.
The Average Height of Men and
Women and Some other
Particulars.

As rule the greatest facial angle
belongs TO those of a refined and intel
lectual nature; the average is about 80
degrees. In some of the Grecian stat
ues 1t is as high as 100 degrees but the
Romans rarely represented it over 95
degrees. 1t was the Dutch conn0is-
seur, Camper, says an exchange, who
first used the term facial angle-that
angle which is formed when straight
line is drawn from the middle of the
forehead TO The point juncture Of the
nose and lip, where it is met by an
other imaginary line crossing from the
opening of the ear. To form an opin-
ion as TO ones intellectual capacity.
their profile or facial angle must be
studied.
The average height OF a man Of the
Anglo-SaXon race is five feet six inches,
and the average weight 140 pounds.
Their weight is greatest at 45 years OF
age.
Early grayness without badness is
an indication OF a long life.
Persons naturally thin are apt to live
longer than those who are fat This
knowledge may be source of satisfac-

IAWTON'S LAST BATTLE.

(San Mateo, December 10. 1897
Up the Marlquina valley
In sheets of pouring rain,
Through rows of sodden rice-tields
And miles of trampled cane,
Knee-deep in mud and water,
Against a storm of lead,
The Yankee troops went riding
With Lawton at the head.
He laughed al death or danger.
The bravest of the brave,
As he faced the flaming trenches,
But a bullet dug his grave.
His fealess eyes were covered,
His steed before him led,
When the shallow stream was forded
With Lawton at the head.
His sword was sheathed beside him,
The blood was on his breast,
The general who never rested
Lay in eternal rest.
But his guns played Yankee Doodle.
The valley grass was red,
San Mateo was entered
With Lawton at the head.
She mourns him in Manila,
And sighs at every breath.
The widow of the soldier
Who died soldiers death.
Long she may weep and listen
To hear the horses tread,
Or see the plumes of yellow
With Lawton a. the head
He musters with the heroes
Whose names are ever green,
Gridley and Nichol, captains,
And Anthony. marine;
CoMmbia's guard immortal,
Made up Of gallant dead,
That marches on in glory
With Lawton at the head.

VALUE OF ORATORY.
Eloquent Flights Are Not of as Much
Use Before Juries ms
Plain FlueRcy.

In an address before the Irish Lit
ram" Lord Russell of Killowen, the
chief justice, declared the value of ora
tory TO lawyer is overrated. He as
serted that il is an important vehicle
for argument and for the enunciation
and enforcement of great principles.
But" he said, there is tendency to
run to seed in this regard, and TO look
upon fluency of speech as if ii were
oratory." Gifts of speech could never
attain to their real momentum and
power until founded upon substratum
Of carefully acquired knowledge and
upon solid argument. The opinion of
the lord chief justice is that of most
men who have considered the subject.
The art of oratorical flights is less prac-
ticed, not SO much because men are
less able to make such speeches, but
because they have lost their value.
They are of slight use before juries and
OF no use with judges. There is pop
ular disposition to distrust the man
who makes too great display Of his
gifts of speech when he makes an ad-
dress. The public, being more en-
lightened, has come to weigh argu-
ments more carefully. When the ora
tor is able to appeal to the passion Of
the moment he is sometimes influential.
but there his power ends. This is why
the leaders of the bar to-day are not
great orators, but rather men with the
carefully acquired knowledge which
they are able to present logically to
the judge or jury they would convince.

BRITISH ARMY NURSES.
Their Duties Are prescrIbed by the
War Onice and the Pay They
Receive Is Very small.

Woman's place in war is compare
lively such a small one that some de-
tails about the arrangements made for
the few who are being sent out as
rurses to the Transvaal may be of in
terest.
In spite of the numbers of private
ladies and nurses who have Nolun-
teered their services, the authorities
are sending only those nurses who
have had practical experience in our
miltary hospitals AMI belong tp the
army nursing service or the army
nursing reserve, each of whom has had
three years preliminary training and
service IL civil general hospital.
Beyond seeing to their personal lug
gage, they themselves have little prep
aration to make. The government
sends them out in transport ships, and
upon their arrival they go to the sta
tionary or general hospitals, or 10 the
hospital ships, which are fitted up for
patients, the two recently-equipped
ones, the Spartan and Trojan, going
to and from Durham to Cape Town.
carrying the sick and wounded to the
hospital established at Wynburg,
where there are $40 beds ready FOR
use. There Is also stationary hos
pital at Ladysmith with 100 beds, and
another at Maritzburg with ESQ beds.
Government supplies servants to
wait upon the nursing sisters, and
proper soldier cooks look after the
hospital diet, the cooking the sisters
themselves do consisting chiefly Of
making beef tea, lemonade, etc. The
nurses being considered rs much a
part of the army as the officers or
troops, like everyone else they receive
their daily ratons Of food. consisting
of about one pound of butchers meat,
u like quantity Of bread, so many dried
vegetables, tea and sugar. In addition
to this weekly allowance (about 45
cents) is given to each to supply any
extra provisions they need, as, though
the quantity of rations is enough, they
afford little or no variety.
No extra payment is given for serv-
ice during war, but an individual al
lowance. known as Colonial allow
ance," is made to cover incidental ex-
peuses.
Some people are under the impress
sion that the nurse sisters are in the
thick OF the fighting. This is, how
ever, not the case; they remain in the
general hospitals or on the hospital
ships. No woman is ever near the
battle.
The Royal Army Medical corps and
bearer companies are on the field dur
ing battle, and il is they who see
after the wounded, taking them to the
rear. from where they are drafted 10
dressing camp and as soon as possible
sent 70 the general hospitals.
In Africa, as NJ home, the army
nursing sisters will wear their familiar
uniform. consisting OF gray dresses
and scarlet capes, white caps and
aprons, while those OF the Army Nurs-
ing reserve have dresses OF light blush
linen, with cloaks OF navy cloth aud
hoods and facings of scarlet, their

placed by sun hats ts--London Illustra-

FORM JAIL.

The prisoners in the city Jail grew
tired of their isolation last night and
dug their way out. AS this is not an
%infrequent occurance and the men were
not valuable prisoners the escape caus-
ed no great excitement. OF the eight
mef who escaped most were in Jail for
drunkenness. Omaha" Kelley has
caused the city authorities a great deal
Of trouble and was only yesterday SEN
