DISCOVEReR OF COLORADO.
Descendant Born In the State Named
By Alva De Bdcd.

Alva Bacs, born yesterday, is the
first of the celebrated De Bacs family
TO be born in Denver. She is the dir
ect lineal descendant OF Alva Nunez
Cabeza de Bacs, who discovered
Q DIOR ado and named it.
Little Miss BAca is the daughter OF
Senior Vicense M Baca and Senora
Marganta Chavez De Bacs, who have
only been in Denver for q few mon tbs,
where they came for the health OF Mrs
Baca.
Miss Baca ia to be named Alva, the
name of the Spanish discoverer. and
called that in spite of its being q boy
name, because she honored Denver by
choosing it as her birthplace.
Miss Alva is the youngest OF nine
children, all her brothers aud sisters
having been born in New Mexico, wher g
there are between 40, 900 and so, 600 De
Bacas.
Alva's ancestor, the explorer, landed
the continent through the whole west
ern country to the Pacific coast and
then back to New Mexico, where he
settled permanently In the SUM noun
tains, near the Jemez hot spring, in
the year 1880. Here the De Baca
family, generation after generation, have
stayed ever since, iatermarrying with
other we'll born Spanish families until
there is scarcely one of them that has
MT De BAca blood In his veins.
When the great explorer came up
into the northern country and saw the
great red cliffs he named Is Colorado,
but the climate was cooler than his
southern blood affiliated with, so, after
going into Montana and nsmIrg that,
ne went back to the more congepial
climate of New Mexico. The Baca and
Chavez families of to-day are still the
most influentia! and richest in New
Mexico, owing land and mines galore.
Little Miss Bsca will therefore be rich
in this world's goods as we'll as in an

1t is we'll to keep an eye on the chem
lists just now, says Professor Garrett
F. Serviss in the New York Journal.
They have been working wonders
which the world but half understands.
and greater marvels are likely at any
moment to proceed from their labora-
tories.
Their campaign has been pushed 81
simultaneously in two opposite direc-
tions, and in both the success achieved
surpasses what could reasonably have
! been expected.
Up and down the scale of tempera-
| ture they have assembled and descended
until on the one hand the making of an
artificial sun and on the other hand
the reproduction Of the torpor and in
ertness of empty space appear to be
within their grasp.
At the beginning of the century the
chemist could do no better than the
cold air of the polar regions could do
for him-he could freeze mercury.
Now Professor Dewar has descended
into the chill abyss until, grasping a
tube filled with solid hydrogen, he all
but touches the bottom, only 10 de-
SIceS- Id SllOIl rInSs VI lIe iittioeI bc-
ing left between him and absolute zero.
1t is Il master stroke that has annex
ed n new world to science, n victory of
the Manila Bay order, changing the en-
tire outlook. Man has now turned the
lightest of all gases into Il solid.
At the depth which he has attained
natures energies are all above him;
he has penetrated to the lifeless soil
| below the roots, and as he rises again
can contemplate the gradual awaken
ing of the forces that make the living
world. The crucial achievement has
been ACCOMPLISHMENTS only de-
velOpment is needed. With the degree
of cold now easily attainab bic all chem
ical energies are brought into complete
subsection. Man becomes their master.
Reactions that are violent, dangerous
and uncomfortable in ordinary cir
cumstanccs entirely cease when the
temperature is dropped to the frigidity
of liquid hydrogen. All chemical ac-
ton stops there.
According to some of the latest cal
culations of the solar temperature, it
will only be necessary to gain 1000 or
5000 degrees in order to reproduce, on
small scale, in the laboratory, the
mighty orb that lights and heats the
solar system. Chemists can already
go as high as 5000 or 1000 centigrade
degrees A recent estimate places the
suns temperature at only $3.50 de-
greeS.

Automobiles of Better DesiGn,

The Electrical Review pleads for
more originality in the designs of auto
mobiles. The automobile goes around, -
it says, "forlornly, as if it were an or
binary vehicle seeking the departed
spirit of its horse" Something seems
to be wanting. At the same time no
advantage is taken of the absence of
the horse. ct is time" says our con-
temporary, 'to make design that shall
embody together with grace and beau
ty of line all Of the cOnveniences that
the horSeleSS structure is capable of
and not in any degree suggest the an
cient hippomobile as its predecessor.
Among many of the cOnveniences
which are possible in the new style the
following may be mentioned as typical:
Access by a door in front of the ma
chine instead Of by the inconVenient
side doors now in vogue and neceSsi-
tated by the fact that the horse is in
front of the ordinary vehicle; lower
steps and bodies, made possible by the
smaller wheels which can be used with
the automobile, to the great conven-
fence of the feminine half of the popu-
lation; open fronts of clear glass for
incloSed types of vehicles, so that the
occupant can look directly ahead at
the street and the passing scene with
out having to crane his neck sideways,
as in the common cab on the streets

the astronomer may turn from the &C
tual, unattainable sun, and from its
far more distant brothers the stars, to
a miniature and tangible star lighted
by the chemist like a lamp in his labo-
ratory?
But a chemical furnace equaling the
sun in temperature would do more
than settle questions in astronomy. 1t
might even reveal that ultimate finest
essence of things, that mother element,
which has been the dream of ages, and
place it to some extent at the disposal
of human genius.

BIRD MUSIC.
Wonderful Effect on Indians at .
Concert.

Concert
In his "Recollections of an Old Mu-
sician," Mr.. Thomas Ryan tells OF the
effect produced by a yiolinist on a
family party OF Indians who occupied
the front seats at concert in Topeka,
Kan. II was told there was a father
with six sons in the party, all very
large, broad-shouldered men. They
filed quietly into their seats, preceded
by local guide. in whose hands they
seemed like good, docile children. One
can never know what they thought OF
us, but one can do something in the
way of inference. They sat quite i'm
movable in their seats, with their OK
like eyes fixed on our party while we
played serious music. No shadow OF
emotion could be seen on their coun-
tenances. The fifth number of the
program was a violin solo by Mr..
Schultze, and for an encore he gave
little caprice, entitled THE Bird in
the Tree" The moment Mr.. Schultze
began this piece the Indians were all
alive, their eyes sparkled with pleas
ure, and they nudged each other with
their elbows; and when the little bird
melody and limitations of bird-singing
began they looked all around the cell
ing and the walls, doubtless expecting
to see singisg birds fitting about Not
seeing any, they looked at the violin
list and began to understand that hs
wassthe m ician. The surprise and
almost incredulity depicted on the
faces of these children of nature was
rare show in itself, At its conclu-
sion they junped up and down, just
as little children do when something
unusual pleases them. Youths Com
