SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The quicksilver finds in Brewster

most extensive in the United States.
The municipality of Pasadena, Cal,
owns a 62-acre grove of English wal

600 pounds of nuts.
Perpetual motion has not yet been
discovered. Science teaches that the
revolution of the earth upon it's axis
is as near perpetual motion as any
thing yet known.
In the town of Ensley, Ala, 1s
months ago there were 500 people.
Now there are 5000. They were

matter had been investigated.
The excavations which NJ. Gaucher
is conducting at Carthage, for the
French government continues to pro-
duce remarkable finds. If the eXca-
vations keep on being as productive
as they have been in the past, we may
expect to see illustrations of "Sa-

THE PAPAL ELECTIONS.
Important Event That Takes
Place In the World.

The succession of the Roman pOntiffs
rests on the word of God; other lines of
princes may fail, their line shall last
until the end of the world. Still, al
though there will always be ascries Of
legitimate successors in the papacy.
the manner of succession has varied,
being left to human prudence, which
accommodates itself to times and
places, yet ever under an overruling
Providence that directs to its own ends
no less the vices than the virtues of
men, writes Mgr. Seton, in Frank Les
lies Popular Monthly.
The election of pope is the most i'm
portant event that takes place in the
world. 1t affects Immediately several
hundred millions of Catholics in their
dearest hopes of religion, and it touch
es indirectly the interests of all other
people on the earth besides. In the
pope the world receives a vicar of
Christ, a successor of st. Peter, and an
infallible judge in the matter of faith
and morals. The papacy was always
conferred regularly by way of election
from the chief of the apostles, chosen
by our Lord Himself. to Leo MIL, now
reigning, who was elected by the car
dinals of the Holy Roman church on
the Goth of February, 1875. Between
these there have been 261 popes, if we
follow the number given by the official
Gerarchia Cattolica, which is published

l BUSINESS MAN
Found Drinking In A Back
Room With a Woman Is
Denounced TO His
Congregation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The Very
Rev. Dean McNulta of Paterson, after
morning mass yesterday took one OF
his rounds among the saloons. He
entered many and found them all do
ing a f1ourishing business.
On going into the saloon of Thomas
Fitzpatrick. among the men at the bar
was John Gibbons. one of his parish
oners, whom he had baptised and
watched in growth from a boy. The
Indignant priest attacked Gibbons and
thumped him soundly.
He beat him on the back and shoul-
ders and drove him out of the saloon.
While he was beating Gibbons the rest
made a hasty exit. Gibbons left his
hat behind and had to go home bare
headed.
Dean says he will make charges
against all saloon keepers who were
doing business
In his sermon he said he went into
one saloon, and hearing a female voice
went into the rear room. There he
saw one of Paterson's most prominent
business men, drinking with worn
an.
The clergyman described the bus
mess man so minutely that his hear
ers say he might as we'll have told his
name.

ANOTHER
RAILROAD
The ChoctaW Will Extend
and Con ect With
the Santa Fe
INTO THIS CITY
1t Will Form Another Short
Trunk Line 10 the East
BY Way Of
Memphis.
INTO THIS CITY

| The news comes from st. Louis to
soon begin work on an extension from
Weatherford. Oklahoma. to a point on
the Santa Fe near the Texas line.
Francis L. Gowan, president of the
road, is quoted as follows: THE rapid
development of the country having
forced the matter, the company has de-
cided to extend it's line eighty-five
miles westward from Weatherford, it's
present terminus, and also to build a
branch road 120 miles in length, from
point near aHrtshorne, in a south
westerly direction, to a point On the
Atchison system Near the southern
boundary line of the Indian Teri itory.
Both lines will run through good
agricultural country. A large coal ton
mage is also assured to the branch line
by contract under under which the
Atchison company will lease for five
years coal for the larger part of its
Texas lines
ITO provide the funds for the extern
sions the company has sold to a syn
uasstlS -- --CoulpoSA0-o 0-ol-bIeNel- q Co.,
Drown Bros & Co, w. H New
bodls Son & Co.. and Edward B. Smith
C Co.. $780, 900 of its general mort
gage bonds and also 100000 new
bonds. which will be secured by a first
mortgage lien on the present mileage.
The road will be built by the Western
Oklahoma Railroad company and pur-
chased by the Choctaw company upon
completion
This will mean a close traffic ar
rangement between the Santa Fe and
the Choctaw and virtually give Ell Paso
another trunk line east to Memphis
over short line. This line runs
through the richest coal fields in all
the west and will get into Ell Paso in
competition with New Mexico coal.

then rakes the money in and asks the
player to leave the place.
The game is governed by no known

The brushes for sweeping out the
sewers of Ell Paso have been in sue
cessful operation for several weeks
and work to perfection
The majority of the sewer mains. -
said City Engineer Wimberley. this
morning, were not in a bad condition.
Most of them were kept clean by the
natural flow of water. but a pipe some
distance in length in Rand's grove was
pretty badly clogged up and it was
there that the brushes were needed to
do their most effective work.
= Throughout the principal portion
of the city the sewers were clean and
were not a menace to the health of the
people of Ell PaSo, as has been alleged.
There are hundreds of cities through
out the country whose sewer systems
are in far worse condition than Ell
Paso's has ever been in.
We have a way of cleaning the
sewers which / don't think has ever
been mentioned by the papers.
I'VE give the sewers pills.
These pills are made of sheet COP
per and their diameter is within an
inch of that OF the mains. They are
dropped in at the man holes and being
hollow float along with the current.
The water is turned in behind them
and as i. attempts to wash past the
pills there is decided pressure on the
bottom of the pipes end the sewers are
thus secured out. The brushes are
then used to thoroughly cleanse the
mains"
