ate as we'll as one of the most enthusiast
tic demonstration that have as yet been
made in honor of the Democratic candi-
date.
Mr. Bryan's carriage was drawn by four
horses. Once during the evening the
leading span Of horses took fright at the
fireworks and turned quickly. 1t looked
for a moment as if they would upset the
vehicle. The frightened animals were
however, quickly caught by a dozen men,
bers of the nearest marching clubs and
again turned in the right direction. Mr..

1T is sACRILEGE.

In his Auburn speech Mr.. Bryan dwelt
at considerable length upon his theory
that the Republican party is manifesting
a tendency towards change of our form
of Government and in this connection
said 81 se
"Mr Hanna said the other day that
you ought not to swap horses while
crossing a stream. What sacrilege for
Hanna to quote any word that Abraham
Lincoln ever uttered But Mr.. Hanna in
applying Mr.. Lincoln remark today has
mistaken the body of water. We are not
crossing a stream The Republican par
ty is trying to cross an ocean and get
back on to European ground, where its
ideas originated
Mr. Bryan also quoted an extract from
a local Republican paper telling of
farm which had been sold for $3.50 an
acre while it had been assessed for SIG
an acre. Commenting upon this extract
Mr. Bryan said derisively:
Farmers now vote to keep present con-
ditions. They are so satisfactory that
you cannot sell your land for half what
it is assessed for taxes. Go out and
find what per cent of taxation is levied
on your large factories, and see If they
are assessed for more than twice what
they will sell for at public auction. If
these conditions are satisfactory let
everyone who believes it vote the Repub-
lican ticket because all Republicans tell
you that they will maintain present condi-

Hotel lObbieS


j. H. Warren. of Galveston who
spent last summer in Ell PasO has re-
turned to spend the winter here for
his health. lei Paso is being talked
of everywhere in Texas said Mr.
Warren. land l predict that thousands
of people will be out here this winter
to attend the carnival. All the papers
in southern and central Texas are
mentioning the carnival every few is
sues but are saying more of Ell Paso
as a business town and health resort.
| was surprised to hear so many peO-
pie talking of coming here. 1t seems
that they have just learned what the
town is and what a mining section
this is l was flooded with questions
about every imaginable line of bust
ness and especially mining" Mr.. War
rem said he never grew tired of an
swering questions and did lots of ad-
vertising for Ell Paso.
E. R. Bush. mining engineer of

ness in all parts of the country for
twenty years and says he knows of no
mining country in the United States

Ihat this section has. Il was in Ell
Paso and all over this country TWEEN

day be great country. 1 came here
last month and found it to be already
realized. | have just returned from
Sonora. Mexico. and a part of Ari-
IONA. On every side of the road new
mines are being opened up and bust
ness is rushing everywhere. When /

little dusty tavern down by the rail-
road track. After eating dinner l
went out for a walk and CHANGED to

An Ingenious Device.

An enterprising real estate broker Of
Sixth street, near Walnut. has adopted
unique mode of drawing the atten-
tion of the paSsersby to his business.
He has life size figure representing
an old man about 40 years of age. with
benign cast of countenance. gray
hair and mustache. clothed with hat
and garments of the style of half Il
century ago. The figure is regularly
wound up and placed in a chair on the
front step and so arranged with a
newspaper in its hand as 10 give one
the impression that it is really an old
gentleman reading the news. If a per-
son stops to look the arms are lowered
in the most natural manner, while the
head inclines forward and a voice
says: Good morning, Walk in. Mr..

their former position. and the old man
is again engrossed in his newspaper.

ELECTRICAL GUN.
Three Thousand Shots Minute
without Heating the Barre1.

Our NeWc9Stle-On-Iyne cOTTeSpouu-
ent informs us that n machine gun of a
novel character has been invented by
Mr.. James Judge, well known eng1-
neer of Newcastle. who thus describes
it: The gun is 4 patent centrifugal
quick firing machine gun. 1t is hve
feet high and weighs about five hun
dredweight. 1t is intended for battle
ship. earthworks and garrison pur-
poses. The motive power is electricity.
transmitted to n motor attached to the
side OF the gun. The motor causes a
disk to revolve at a very high rate of
speed.
The bullets. which are introduced
into the interior of the disk at the axle.
travel along curves in the interior to
the circumference and are there i'm
PEELED through a barrel. 1t is claimed
that this disk will rotate under the in
fiuence of the motor at the rate of T.
600 revolutions minute and will eject
shots from the muZZle of the gun with
an initial velocity of 1000 feet per
second. One of the chief characters
tics Of the gun is that il will maintain
n continuous fire. If necessary. shot
may be discharged at every half revO-
luton. hut i'm practice one shot every
fourth revolution will he found sutt
cient. The bullets are spherical and
measure three-siXteenths of an inch in
diameter.
The following are the results of the
tests already made with the gun:
Eighteen thousand rounds of shot 6;
the rate of 1000 Il minute have been
discharged from the gun. These shots
consisted of nickel steel some of brass
(as used in France. lead and chilled
metal. 1t was tested seven times pri
vatcly. No motor was used. nor is one
yet attached to- the gun. although the
gun is constructed for an electric mo-
tor. The tests were made 10y means of
a belt driven by a steam engine
Under these conditions the velocity
required and which il is maintained an
electric motor Will produce was not, of
course, attained. but the practical
working of the gun was fully demon
strated. \ long range could not be
had because of the necessity of secrecy.
and the testing was done in a covered
shed at Blyth drydocks- steel target
three thirty-seconds of an inch thick
was shattered, the disk of the gun re-
volving at speed of 300 revolutions
per minute. From the penetration OF
the target it is calculated that at n dis
lance of 400 yards a penetration of a
similar character will be effected of "a
plate Seven-SiXteenthS of an inch thick
under the influence of an electric mo-
tor.
There is no heating of the barrel of
the gun, because of the continuous
stream of cold air which is impelled
through it by the turning of the disk.
The disk itself is also free from heat
ing on account of the special bearings
on which it is constructed. These bear
ings are a highly complicated mechan-
ical contriyance and are similar to
those used i'm Parsons turbines. which
can revolve at the rate of $4,000 revo-
buttons a minute. and Levalrs motor.
which revolves at the rate of 10000
revolutions n minute. To test the gun
thoroughly 1t will be necessary to affix
n motor. which will be five horse
power motor coupled direct on to the
shaft."-London Times.

KEEP FLOWERS FOR YEARS.
Oregon Man Has Discovered Way By
Dipping Them in a Boiling Solu-
ton.

Portland. Ore.-Flowers that never
fade-that is Christopher Ross dis
covery. In proof of it he shows roses
and lilies that he has kept for four
years. Their bloom is as bright now
and their odor as fragrant as they were
when Ross picked them four years ago.
How it is done is his secret Some
day he hopes to perfect the process,
and then he will give it to the world.
AS now accomplished it is a complex
one and difficult for the average lay
man.
Mr.. Ross is a naturalist of note He
has long studied insect life and flowers
and his theory is that blooms and
plants wilt and die because they are
covered with myriadS of insects which
live and feed upon them and eventually
Kill them. These insects can scarcely
be detected by the finest microscopes,
yet they are known to be there. Mr..
Ross has been working with the idea
that If these parasites can be destroyed
without killing the plant or flowers
there is no reason why they should not
be preserved for all time to come.
Il was in southern Oregon, said
Mr.. Ross. telling how he came to make
the discovery. land l found beautiful
white flower that l was anxious to keep
as long as possible l put some of the
blossoms in boiling water and laid
them out to dry. Examining them lat
er found that they had not wilted. as
L thought they would. This was the
first inkling | had of a plan by which
flowers might be preserved indefinite
ly.
Then l began experimenting. plac-
ed flowers in various solutions at the
boiling point. | tried different tenn
peratures. too. and experimental with
many acids in the hope of finding
something that would destroy animal
life without killing the flower. Some
solutions burned up the flowers; 9TH
ers did not hurt them, apparently.
Encouraged by my success at last
got certain preparations which have
kept flowers fresh for months and even
for years. These are proof that flow
ers can be kept alive indefinitely."-
