HOT in MORE WAYS THAN ONE
Soldiers in the TransvaaI Experiencing
Warmest Months of the Year.

The war in South Africa, with the
beginning OF the new year, entered
upon the three hottest months of the
year. In the Cape Colony region Janu-
airy, February and March show the
highest temperatures and are almost
rainless at Cape Town. January is the
hottest month, with a maximum tenn
perature OF 81 degrees Fahrenheit,
while July is the coolest month, with
a minimum of 3S degrees. The winters
are bright and clear. with cold nights,
and now flies on the mountains for a
good portion of the year. The eleva-
tion Of the northern section varies
from $500 to 5000 feet. The winter
climate is very agreeable, being clear,
sunny and bracing. Elevated plateaus,
with a bright climate, are the attrac-
tive features of the Transvaal. Pre-
toria has an elevation of $500 feet
above the sea, while Johannesburg has
an altitude Of 5000 feet. The summer
heat in these places, notwithstanding
their great altitude, is intense, and
duststorms are frequent. Malaria and
kindred diseases are common during
the summer months. The climate is,
nevertheless, pronounced rather health

is, nevertheless, pronounced rather
healthy for Europeans. The mean
temperature Of these portions Of Africa
is often higher than that of Europe.

MRS. ADAIR'S APPEAL

Mrs. Cornelia Adair, who is now in
this country in the interests Of the
hospital ship Maine, which it may be
remembered was provided by American
women in England for the nursing OF
wounded British soldiers in the Boer
war, is herself an American, being o
daughter of the late Gen. Wadsworth,
Of Geneseo, N. Y, who fell at the battle
Of the Wilderness. The idea of fitting
out a hospital ship originated with a
Mrs. Blow, an American, and she, with
Lady Randolph Churchill, formed a
committee Of American women in
London to carry it out. The sum of
$155, 600 was raised in a short time. AT
this juncture b. N. Baker, of Baltimore,
Md, president of the Atlantic Trans
port company, offered the steamship
Maine and its crew to the committee, to
be used as a hospital ship as long az
the war lasted, This gift represented
an outlay of between SIS 600 and $780,
600 a month. To equip the vessel the
committee expended $125 600, and as it
ship in service, Mrs. Adair, who in the
absence of Lady Randolph Churchill,
is the head Of the committee, comes
here to interest Americans in the work.
Mrs. Adair is well known in the
fashionable society Of New York and
Newport. Her first husband was a Mr..
Richie, of Boston. In 1867 she mar
ried John Adair, who was one of the

The exchange of air in the lungs de-
ponds as much on the elasticity of the
air cells and of the chest resuming it's
normal capacity as upon the forma-
ton of the space which first receives
the air. To perfect the breathing
power We must avoid whatever endan-
gers the elasticity of the air cells such
things, for instance, as pounding over
the lungs when they are distended
with air, or sudden forced expirations.
We should use exercises which
strengthen the exploratory muscles.
The backward ieXiOns accomplish this
purpose. All exercises are respira-
tory; but in addition to this. each one
should have time set apart for special
breathing exercises. Bearing the i'm
portance of good breathing in mind,
teachers can introduce no postures
which contract the chest nor applaud
any gymnastic feat performed which
causes the chest to be less flexible, or
make it immobile. Those movements
which bend the chest forward, back
ward, sideways, etc, contribute direct
ly to chest expansion if properly exc
cuted. They should be made so grad
ually that the heaving movement be
not incompatible with erect head and
free breathing. The energy of our
food a only become converted into
action in presence of oxygen. We
need to replenish this supply constant
ly, and the more generously we do
so the more working power we will
have.

The chivalry of man toward woman
finds a duplicate in the lower animals
and, except in rare cases, the male
always treats the female kindly. 1t is
rarely that a dog will bite a female, ex-
cept in the EXTREMIST need of self
defense, though the female, as a rule,
has no scruple whatever about punish
ing, to the full extent of her power,
any individual Of the opposite sex that
happens to be inferior to her in size
or strength. So strong is this unwil-
lingness to strike a female that few
male hounds will attack a she wolf
or even follow her trail. Something
of the same Difference to the gentler
sex may be seen among horses. Al
though a horse will promptly attack
any other horse that may interfere
with him, either in the field or in har-
ness, he will very seldom attack a
mare. Farm horses, which cannot be
worked alongside of any other horse
on account of their savage tempers,
may be safely yoked in double harness
with a mare. Mares, ON the other hand,
will attack their own or the opposite
sex without the slightest hesitation.

The Heat of the Sun.

The mechanical energy of one square
yard of the suns surface would keep
an ocean steamship under full head
way. If all the coal in the earth were
put into one large heap and kindled
with al unlimited supply of oxygen
for it's combustion, it would not give
out heat sufficient to replace that lost
by the sun in On~e-thOusandth part of a
second of time. In the ball of aiming
matter which we call the sun, clouds OF
carbon are continually rising to the
surface, and remain there to glow with
inconceivable intensity. By the help
of photography, aided by the spectro-
scope, the cloudy surface of the sun
can now be examined. Previously, the
corona, which really is a crown of fiery
tongues of hame-many of them SO, 0OO
miles in length-cOuld only be seen
during an eclipse, out now we have
photographs which show these flames
to be aver darting forth and fickering
from the suns disk. These mighty
flames occupy a quarter of an hour in
performing a single flicker.

method is to be adopted, as it is cheap
er and almost as good as the oxygen.


A box containing wheat saturated
with ~strychnine was placed in the
hands of a scientist for examination
because Of the curious fact that a
number of insects had been found
there, all Of which were busily engaged
in devouring the poisoned grain. So
remarkable did this appear that stud4es
have been made of the taste and poi
son-resisting qualities of some of these
small creatures. 1t is ascertained that
the weevil will grow and flourish on
grain mingled with strychnine. This
is destructive to almost all insects,
but the weevil seems to prefer 1t to
other food. Samples Of the same poi
sOned grain were given to a number of
varieties Of insect pests, and in every
instance they died almost Immediately.
In this same line of research it may be
said that almost every poison plant
has it's parasite, and from it some form
of life derives its subsistence.

The most dangerous secret society in
the world, the greatest on the CONT
nent of Europe, the Malta, is now fight
ing for its life. Its adversary is the
government of Italy. For months the
two powers have been locked in COM
bat. If the government wins the Malta
will receive its ~deathblow. If the Mahs
wins the integrity of the govei ament
will be at stake. The present fight
was precipitated by the N~otarbartola
affair.
M. Patizollo, deputy to the Italian
parliament for Palermo, and the Duke
of Verdura had bought with the money
of a bank shares to the value of a mill
lion and a half lire in the Italian Gen
eral Navigation company. The shares
increased tremendously in value. Pa
tizollo transferred them to his own ac-
count, paid back the 1,500, 900 lire to
the bank, and appropriated the profits.
The government was appraised of the
transaction. 1t ordered an official in
quiry. Sig. N~otarbartOla was appoint
ed to make the investigation. He per-
formed his task well. AS a result he
was assassinated. Patizollo, it is al
legged, fearing other disclosures, gave
orders to n Fontane to make way
with Notarbartola. The order was
obeyed. Patizolo was arrested. His
trial for murder is now in progress. 1t
is this trial which has ranged the Malta
and the government in deadly combat.

in the water. The lovers would have
easily escaped, but a ball struck Ran
dal's horse and disabled him. The
young man was forced to abandon his
animal, and in doing so he lost his
pistol. His devoted and brave little
sweetheart had no thought of abandon
ing the mar for whom she had already
braved so many dangers. Drawing her
revolver, she turned her pony towards
Randall, and as she called to him to
seize the animals tail she fired at the
nearest Mexican. Then turning her
horses head toward the Texas shore,
she threw herself over IN his back
and deliberately sent one bullet after
another in rapid succession into the
ia rs Of her pursuers: What the re-
suit of these shots were she does not
know, but the lovers reached the Texas
side in safety. A few days after reach

The American consul at F%reiburg,
Germany, reports an interesting dis
coyery by German scientists, the APP
plication of which will render cloth
and wood fireproof. The material
used to bring about this result is now
being manufactured by a German firm,
and great things are expected of it.
The American consul declares that he
has experimental with the discovery,
ard has found that curtains, carpets,
clothing, draperies and wood to which
the liquid has been applied refuse to
yield to flame. Even when cloth was
covered with kerosene and the oil
burned out the fiber of the goods was
OF ly charred, while the piece remained
intact. 1t is claimed that with the
Use of this chemical application hotels
may be made absolutely ireproof, and
that it will reduce fire risks on inside
property very greatly. The chemical
Is soluble, and is, therefore, impracti-
cable for outdoor use. Garments,
curtains, or carpets that pass through
a laundering process must be treated
again. 1t is claimed, however, that
the scientists who have worked out the
process believe they can render it
waterproof in time.

The remarkable deed of a Texas girl,
Cora Brandon, who with wonderful
skill and audacity rescued her lover
and o her husband-from a prison
in Mexico, after running fights with
Mexican dragons, has placed her in
the lists of sensational heroines.
Last fall her lover, Randall Barrel,
went to Mexico, with other cowboys, in
the employ of a wealthy cattleman for
the purpose of bringing a large head
of wild steers back to Blanco county.
For a time Barrett wrote regularly and
then without any explanations his mis-
sives ceased. Some weeks ago the 9TH

sons for Barret's silence. 1t seems that
the cowboys attended a dance in a lit

INCOME OF A NAVAL OFFICER.
Just How the Young Clerk Must Dress
and Act in General.

On about the salary of a young clerk
an ensign of our navy must dress well,
his wife and children must; they must
live in a ~presentable part of any city;
the children must be educated, and
well, somehow. The very nomadism
Of their lives is a great source of ex-
pense, and there is no escape from
unpaid bills, no living On from year to
year in debt, as do a recognizable num-
Der OF people in civil life; for a trades
man has but to send his authenticated
Dill to the navy department and the
delinquent will be CURLY reminded of
1t through official channels, resulting
in a court-martial if his shortcoming
is so often repeated as to be "unbe-
coming to an officer and a gentleman"
But even all this sordid counting of
dollars and debts seldom succeeds in

THE FOURTH.
Wins!oW Did Herself Praud on
the Nations Anniversary.

The Fourth was celebrated in
Winslow with more than usual
pomp and ceremony. The racing
was good and closely contested,
the best horses Winning. The
wheel -barroW racing was conf
cal, so was the sack racing.
There were three contestants in
the foot race, and good time was
made.
But the event of the day for
the boys, as well as the older
and more sedate, was the ball
playing, the Winslow boys win
ming both games, hands down.
In the forenoon our home team
played Flagstaff and made mon
keys Of them, scoring 27 runs to
a goose egg.
In the afternoon they came
near doing the same thing with
the Gallup nine, the score being
II to 9. For amateurs WinsloW
has the best nine on the line OF
the road between Albuquerque
and Los Angeles. Our boys
were right up on their mettle in
both games. Kelly, the pitcher,
was in fine form and did some
clever work, and was ably sup
ported by Sampson, behind the
bat. In short, the whole team
played ball, and played good
ball. &, H. E. Denton umpired
both games, and his decisions
Were fair and impartial, if any
thing favoring the visitors.
The balloon ascension by Pro
fessor Skinner was a grand sue
cess. When the ropes Were cut
the air ship went almost straight
up, there being but little breeze.
AS she ascended the Professor
gave an excellent exhibition on
the trapeze, and when he had
REACHED the height Of about 500
feet, he leaped from the basket,
his red umbrella slowly opened,
and he landed in safety about a
quarter of a mile from his start
ing point. AS an aronaut the
Professor is success, but as a
judge Of ball players he is a dis
NAL failure.
The bali IN the evening was
largely attended, and was a sue
cess, socially and financially.
Taken altogether the celebra-
tion was a success in every par
ticular.
