Tho stories are common enough of

quench an aurora, and, on the other
hand. IL has not seldom happened that
. very mundane confiagration has
passed muster for celestial dis
play" says knowledge. In the me-
moirs of Baron Stockmar an amusing
anecdote 10 related Of one Herr Won
Radowitz. who was given to making
the most Of easily picked up informa-
tion. A friend Of the baron's went to
An evening party near Frankfort.
where he expected to meet Herr Won
Radowitz. On his way he saw barn
burning. stopped his carriage, assisted
the people. and waited till the flames
were nearly extinguished. When he
arrived at his friends house. he found
Herr Won Radowitz. who had previously
taken the party to the top of the
building, to see an aurora, di.ating on
terrestrial magne tism, electricity, etc.
Radowitz asked Stockmar's friend:
Have you seen the beautiful aurora
borealis?" He replied: Certainly; |
was there myself: 1t will soon be over"
An explanation followed as to the barn
on fire. Rado~Ats vas silent some ten
minutes. then he took up his hat and
quietly disappeared.

MORMON EXPLORING PARTY.
SET Ont to Find In Central America
Ruin verincation of the
hook of Mormon.

One Of the most remarkable expedi-
tions for antiquarian research which
have set out for some time is composed
of party OF NJ mon students which
left Graham county, a. T., few days
ago, for three years trip through
Central and South America. In the
party are "a men from the Brigham
Young academy. in Provo, Utah, includ-
ing President Benjamin CluH and two
professors. Their object is to explore
the country and its resources while
searching for traces Of the last surviv-
ors OF the Nephites, says local report.
The Mormon theory on which the ex-
pedition is tgsed. as advanced by lead
ers OF the party. is this: About eco b..
C.. Lehi and his family. accompanied by
1shmael and his family left Jerusalem
and went into the wilderness.
After 40 years of wandering they
built boats and sailed toward the con-
tinent, landing where Chill now Is.
Nephi and Laman were two OF Lchi's
sons. Nephi was beautiful and obedi-
ent, Lamar the reverse. Each had
many followers who married and in
termarried until they numbered many
thousands, and built many large cities
in what Is now the northern part of
South and Central America, Mexico and
southern Arizona and New Mexico.
The two factions waged war for many
years, according to the Mormon theory,
until. eventually, about 400 A. d., the
Nephites were entirely exterminated
by the Lamanites. From the latter
the American Indians are descended.
Maroni, the last surviving Nephite,
buried the records OF his people, writ
ten on brass plate, in the hill
"Cumorah." in the state of New York,
and the angel Maroni revealed these
plates TO Joseph Smith. The transla-
tion of these constitute the Book OF
Mormon.
The Provo expedition hopes to find
in the ruins of Central and Southern
American cities evidence that they
were built by the descendants Of Lehi
and thus give to The world proof that
the Book of Mormon is what the Lat
ter Day Saints assert it to be-a true
history Of the people who inhabited
this continent years ago.

LIQUID FUEL FOR STEAMER s.
vessel Travels to London from Bos-
aso Using Only OM for
Its Fires.

In October the steamship Cowrie
steamed all the way from Koetei, in
Borneo, to London, distance of 9,235
miles, using nothing hut liquid fuel.
When the steamer reached London the
boilers for supplying steam for the un-
loading machinery were fired by the
same material. The oil was not burned
by "A thin layer of incandescent coal, as
is the case in some systems, but was
reduced to spray by means of steam
jet at the furnace door, where il was
delivered from tanks above the boilers.
says the New York Sun.
The Cowrie was formerly fired with
coal, and her owners say that her con-
version to liquid fuel has been at
tended with advantageous results,
Only six stokers are now required,
though Is were necessary when coal
was used. A great deal Of bunker space
10 also saved. The consumption OF oil
at sea 10 only 20 tons a day, while the
daily consumption of coal used to be
IS tons, and a ton of oil occupies only
% cubic feet, against 4s feet required
for coal. The coal Is also taken on
board much more quickly than coal,
and recently 400 tons were pumped
into a German steamer in pn hour.
The oil yield by the Borneo oil fields
la said to make an excellent fuel just
as 1t comes from the ground, and IL is
beginning to be much used for this
purpose by the Hamburg-Amerlcan
and other steamers that are engaged in
the eastern trade.

RUSSIAN SPIES ARE HERE.

The Russian secret police are prob
ably the most skillful in the world;

and in the many attempts made upon
the present ruler. So the chief of po-
litical police keeps agents in every
great city in the world. New York,
where so many Russian nihilists have
found refuge; San Francisco and Chi
cago are especially favored in this
way Escaped convicts from Siberia
sometimes drift to the Pacific coast,
while Chicago is watched on general
ting to be more and more the chief
object OF the solicitous attentions of
the cars people, says the Chicago
Chronicle.

in America always claim to be nihil.

litical views, or escaped suspects. II
is their plan to secure admittance ia
some OF the many nihilist circles here
and keep the police informed Of what
goes on.
So long as the nihilists confine
themselves to speechmaking nothing
is done about IL. But IL one OF them
should start for ST. Petersburg with

Messrs. James Smith q Some, of Ok.

When finished the umbrellas will be
