WATCH FOR sr. louis.

lana Purchase Exposition.
Already novel features and schemes
for attractions at the st. Louis fair of
1903 are being planned. One Of these
already announced will be a NAM
moth watch. 1t will lie on its back,
having a polished metal case just like
the ordinary watch, and will be so
large and roomy inside that people
will be able to walk around in it
among the moving wheels. 1t will be
nearly rs feet in diameter and more
than 40 feet high, with neat little
stairways running all about it, and all
the wheels properly protected, so that
no n can be hurt, The balance
wheel will weigh a ton and the chair
spring" will be as thick as a mans
wrist. 1t will take about two minutes
for the balance wheel to swing around
and back again. 1t will be pivoted on
two enormous agate blocks, substi-
tutes for diamonds, and will be made
of brass. One of the greatest difficult
ties will be in getting the balance
spring of the size and strength that
can stand the strain and keep its elias

will be an enormous affair, something
over 800 feet in length and made of 10
spring steel bands two inches thick,
bound together, as it would be impos-
sible to roll SO large a piece, either in
thickness or length. The protector of
the enterprise claims, of course, that
the scheme has an educational side.
Those who visit the watch will be
given instructions, with practical IL

BallOting Today in HAWAII.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Gin view
of the present day facilities for rapid
communication it appears strange at first
glance that the full returns of today's
election will not be known to the people
of this country for several days to come.
While the election results of every state
and territory from Maine to California
and from the lakes to the gulf will prob
ably be known within twenty -four hours,
it will be week or longer before the re-
turns are received from Hawaii, where
the people are today enjoying the first
national election since the islands became
territorial part of the union. The pres
idential contest can in no way be affected
by the vote of the Hawaiians who are
balloting only for representative in con-
gress. Each of the three political parties
in the islands-republican, democratic
and independent-ha nominated a cam
didate and the latest advices received
here indicate that the contest has been a
lively one. Samuel Parker, half blood,
is the candidate of the republicans, while
the dem ocrats have named Prince David,
nephe " Of the late King Kalakua and
Of Lii ukalani. The candidate Of the

Cause of the Bic Forest Fire.

There are number OF theories OF the
causes which started the great forest
fire which is devasting the country back
Of the Little Book Cliff mountains.
Today, however, we'll known cattle
man advanced new theory, which may
and may not be true. He said that for
many years past it has been known that
there has been a bunch OF wild cattle,
probably three or four hundred head,
which the COW boys have not been able
to round up. Every effort has been
made to gather them in, but all efforts
have failed.
Cattle men have talked over many
means by which the cattle could be se-
cured but they have found no means OF
bringing them out OF the dense under
growth in the forest. They have often
said that the only way the three or four
hundred head of cattle would ever be
brought out of the forest was by starting
a fre and burning them during some
dry season. The theory is advanced
that the present dry season being favor
able they have taken the opportunity Of
starting the FIRE to run the cattle out.
To whom these cattle belong is ques-
ton, Doubtless there would be some
old brands found among the cattle, but
the increase would belong to any one
who first caught and branded them.
The value of any three or four hun
dred head OF cattle would never by any
manner OF means equal the value OF the
ranges destroyed and the watershed
burned of The country north Of the
Book Clin county is a long swale be-
tween the White river shed and the
Book Cliffs. Those who have started
the fire, if they have done 30, have done
infinitely more damage than they will be
repaid for in the value of the cattle, if
it be true that there were cattle in the
fastness of these forests.

Colorado Crops are Doing Well

Crops generally are reported excellent

port reads:
"The temperature has averaged about
three degrees above normal in the east
ern border counties aud one degree in
the north central section; elsewhere
there has been slight deficiency.
Heavy rain has fallen in the extreme
northeastern counties and moderately
heavy local showers have occurred in
Custer, Huerfano and Las nimas coun-
ties. Practically no rain has tallen in
other parts of the state.

haying, harvesting. stacking and thrash
ing, and this work is nearing completion
in the principal agricultural districts and

fair and oats poor; early corn is matur.

During his speech Mr.. Bryan said:
II believe in fact that this nation has
here the representatives Of all Of the
races in Europe, gives it a peculiar ad-
that the best blood of all the civilized
races mingled here in the development
OF American character enables this ma
tion to turn upon every question the
light OF universal history and avoid the
dangers from which other nations have
suffered.
1T any one wants to know whether an
alien government is good, all he has to
do is to ask an Irishman what his 0pin-
ion is Of an alien government, although
the governing power be separated from
the government only by narrow chan
mel. (Applause).

have to do is to ask German who came

ences Of other nations. The fact that
we have here the representatives OF
those people enables US to scent the
danger from afar and TO guard against

SHRINKAGE OF THE DEAD SEA.
The Level Of This Famous Body Of
Water Is Said to be Grad
uaIIy Failing.

A few weeks ago the New York Sun
printed facts to show that the level of
the Great Salt lake in Utah is steadily
falling on account of the large volume
of water tributary to it which is now
absorbed by irrigation enterprises. A
similar report comes from the Dead sea
in Palestine. The sea was formerly
much larger than at present, as is
shown BY the old beaches stretching
ut varisus attitudes around the whole
basin. Since the middle of the century
its level has been very slowly rising till
quite recently. but now it is falling
again.
The phenomenon is not due to natu-
raj causes, but to the steadily increas-
from the Jordan river for irrigation
purposes. There are other smaller
streams flowing into the sea and they,
too, are being utilized by the increas-
ing number of farmers, who are divert
ing all the water they can get to the
lands and are relieving the monotonous
aspect of the former arid and lifeless
region with many verdant fields.
The latest travellers say that some of
the salt deposits covering the bottom
of the lake may now be seen above the
water in the shallower places and near
the shores. This is new aspect in adj
dition to the deposits of salt crystals
that have always been observed on the
shores. But even though this dessica-
ton go steadily on, it will take a long
time to dry up the waters, for it re-
quires sounding line over 1900 feet
long to touch the bottom in the deep
northern part of the basin.

the blast furnace iron, instead Of being

from the furnace to the mixer, thence
to the converter, where il is cast into

Eleven passes through the rolls turn
an ingot into bloom, and the bloom,
