Battik. an ornamental product of ma
tives of the Dutch East Indies, is made
in Europe only by a flrm of The Hague.
Designs are outlined with a pencil on
linen. silk, velvet, or leather, the orna-
mented parts are covered with a stiffen-
ing liquid, and the rest of the fabric ID
then dyed as desired. The protecting
substance is finally removed by boiling.
The ordinary camel, which will never
hurry under any circumstances, has been
transformed in Southern Algeria into an
animal so different in size, temper and
appearance THAT it may almost be look
ed upon as of different race. This ami
NAL, the racing camel, is priced for it's
speed. 1t is the result of ia genera
tions of careful breeding. which has been
encouraged by valuable prizes, and 1t
can be depended upon for nine or ten
miles an hour, which it can keep up for
sixteen or seventeen hours almost with
out a stop. Its value is five or ten times
that of the beast of burden. The camel
races are popular sport, and are made
exciting by the evident interest of the
creatures themselves in winning.
One Of the most beautiful of sympa-

AS the proportions of nicotine do not
satisfactorily explain the poisonous eff
fects of tobacco, H. Thoms assumes
that the toxic substance is a new OIL he
has detected in tobacco smoke. This oil
produces violent headache. trembling,

a two per cent potash solution yields a

A remarkable investigation by Prof.
Dewar and Others has thrown doubt on
the common idea that disease epidemics
may be checked by freezing weather. A
great number OF disease germs were cool
ed by liquid air to 100 degrees c. below
zero. but the microbes survived twenty
hours Of even this great cold and were
afterward as active as ever.
Statistics collected in Bavaria and
Sweden prove that hard water tends to
preserve the teeth, and that diseased
teeth increase with the lessening OF the
earthly salts in the drinking water.

MAY SUE THE CITY.
City Authorities Blamed for the Complete
Destruction of the Ortiz Block.

City Authorities Blamed for the Complete
Destruction of the Ortiz Block.
There are reports abroad to the effect
that the fire underwriters association is
consulting local attorneys with posi-
BILE view to bringing suit against the
city government for $4,000 damages
growing out of the destruction of the
Ortiz block and the burning out of the
Santa Fe Mercantile company. One of
the adiusters, a Mr.. SmalIwood, of DaI-
las, Tex, is quoted as saying just before
he left the city few days ago, that
such a suit was in contemplation. 1t
appears that the claim for damages
is to be based on the report that the
mayor, city marshal and police force
appeared on the scene and assumed
full control of the fire apparatus during
the early stage of the blaze, which re-
suited in the firemen quitting work and
resigning. For fear that this trouble
might result in the insurance companies
raising the rate on local risks several
citizens consulted with the mayor on
the subject of what transpired at the
time of the burning OF the Ortiz block,
and that official explained his action by
saying that he ordered the chemical
engine not to invade the building in
order to save the lives of several people
who were in the burning structure at
the time and he feared the effects of the
Sulphuric acid. So here the matter
rests for the time being. At any rate
nothing official has been filed as to this
proposed damage suit.

TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES
Land Commissioner Binger Hermann Has
Instituted a Thorough System.

Commissioner Binger Herman of the
general land Office, has instituted very
thorough system for guarding against
fires within the forest reservations of
all of the western states during the
present season, and hopes by most
rigid surveillance to prevent any and
all fires from working great damage to
the public forests.
He has telegraphed to each of the re-
spective superintendents of reserves
asking II In their judgment the present
force OF forest rangers is sufficient to
cope with emergencies, and If there are
now any exposed places In these reserves
not sufficiently guarded by an ade-
quate patrol. II in their Judgment an
increased force is required during the
heated season these superintendents are
authorized to recommend new appoint
ments, which will be made as long as
the available funds last.
Several such appointments have al
ready been made and many others will
follow when the requests arrive. This
same protection cannot be extended to
the forest on the public domain outside
of the reserves, but where special agents
report spreading fires the land Office is
ready to assist as far as possible with
funds in extinguishing them. Up to
this time no fires have gained headway
on the reserves, and the commissioner
hopes this thorough patrol will prevent
any extensive contlagrations.

Vim. Moore, on johnson mesa, had ten
acres sown to red winter wheat, and the
yield was astonishing, being 420 bushels,
or forty-two bushels to the acre. The
grain is of fine quality and weighed
above the average.
At the county teachers institute the
enrolment this week is Al, or seven
larger than it was last year when Cofax
county outdid every other county in the
territory. The institute is decided
success and reflects credit upon the
large number of teachers present, the
conductor and Professor Chapman. Col
fax county is proud of so many earnest
teachers and Ration is certainly proud
to have them.
In general there is hopeful feeling
among the farmers and considerable i'm
provement is noticeable in the Missouri
COLONY located this year on Johnson
mesa. Buildings are being enlarged or
repaired, new fences are being built and
more live stock is being purchased. Con-
sidering the difficulties these people have
had to surmount and the short time they
have been out there, present progress
may be considered satisfactory.

to the spirit of said statute.
I'VE condemn the acts of all persons
who, by force, threats, intimidation, or
by any fencing or inclosing or any 9TH

A GOOD HISTORY OF new MEXICO.
Its Author Is Frank de Thoma, Now in the
Philippines,

The American Book Company, with
establishments in New York, Cincin-
natl and Chicago, one of the largest
school book concerns in the United
States, has published in the Spanish
language history of New Mexico from
the year 1884 to the present time. The
book was written by Mr. Frank de
Thoma, linguist and scholar, who was
a resident of the republic of Mexico
and of this territory for many years.
He is thoroughly acquainted with the
Spanish language, and is in all respects
well fitted for this work. He is now a
resident of the Philippine islands,
where he holds a responsible position as
Translator and interpreter. In secur-
ing the data for this history of New
Mexico he had the advantage of free
access to the archives in the City of
Mexico and in Santa Fe. The book
contains 1876 pages, Is we'll printed and
very presentable. The historical data
give a great deal of information of
value to all who are interested in a
country whose early history is full of
romance. Mr.. de Thoma made a very
careful and thorough investigation of
the Spanish, Mexican and New Mexi-
can archives at his command, and in
corporated into this book the most val
liable information to be derived from
these sources. The Spanish used is ex-
cellent and modern, the dictiop clear
and comprehensive. Before tbe work
was published it was submitted for eX-
animation to Archbishop P. l.. Chapelle,
of the diocese of Santa Fe, who in turn
handed the same over to Archbishop
Salpoint of the same diocese. The lat
ter was most competent to judge of the
work done, and after thorough inves-
tigation he approved and indorsed it,
and this course was also taken by
Archbishop Chapelle.
Archbishop Salpoint is the author of
a valuable history of New Mexico and
Arizona, and therefore was particular
ly we'll qualified to act as critic on this
volume. De Thomas history of New
Mexico in the Spanish language should
be in the public schools of New Mexico,
as up to date it is the best history of
New Mexico in the Spanish language
published for school use and for STU
dents.
There is but one fault to find with
the book, and that is that there are
some minor orthographical mistakes,
which can be easily corrected. however,
when another edition is printed. These
mistakes evidently came about through
the fact that the book was printed in
Cincinnati, that the Spanish proof
and that Mr.. de Thoma had no oppor-
tunity to correct the proofs.
Upon the whole however, the New
Mexican takes pleasure in indorsing the
work fully and unequivocally.
