DRINKING DEW IN JAMAICA.

The temporary astronomical station in Jamaica maintained by the Harvard observatory during last winter and spring is perched high on a mountain side at an altitude of 2,0O0 feet above sea lev5,. Consequently the Harvard party. in spite of the numerous rivers which supply the lower regions, have found 1t somewhat difiicult to obtain sufficient water for their daily needs.
 Professor w. II. Pickering, who rec
 ntly made a flying visit to Cambridge, to arrange for the publication of new atlas Cf the moon, the photographic work for which has been done from the Jamaica station, tells an interesting story of thc life at the island observa- to!y. His chief supply of water was obtained by m ans of large concrete pla tform, or barbecue, as it is called
 commonly used for drying coffee and Gllsp.ce, from which the occasional rainfall was con1ucte1 to concrete tanks. Naturally, when thgre had been no rain for a month or more, the water in these tanks became stale and unpleasant. It happens, however, that in the mountains the dew is very beavy, and by rigging gutters beneath the caves of the iron roofed observa-

A FIREPROOF HOUSE

A fireproof house was recently built
 over a thousand d0la,s, filled with c0mbustibles and subjected to as great
 a heat as could be obtained by natural
 means. The purpose was to test the effect of fire oL certain methods of construction. The experiment, which
 was conducted under the direction of Professor C. l.. Norton of the Massachu- s-tts Institute Cf Technology, was wit l messed by the leading engineers, in-
 sUrarce men. architects and builders | of New Englanl.
 In this typical test the building was F by 20 feet in size and s feet high, tn roof being a single slab of cinder concrete, re-enforCed by steel flores representing the floor of d modern building. The roof was loaded with a pile of pig iron sufficient to give a
 pressure of about 400 pounds to the ! square foot, 30 tons of iron being used. In order to obtain a greater heat the building was arranged on the general plan of a furnace. having grate of steel rails ins,ead of a floor, two large iron dcCrs at one end and two massive chimneys at the other. The structure was covered with concrete both inside and out giving it th5 appearance of a | primitive adobe temple. Instead of windows ther= were four small holes at the corners. through which the | junction" of an electric pyrometer could be inserted for the purpose of reading the inside temperature. There
 were besides twelve other promoters | ihmb dded in the walls, from which | by means of an electric swithchboard,
 connected with a galvanometer, tenn perature readings were taken every | few minutes. By an ingeneous ar-
 rangemsnt of rods, working between
 overhead beams and the roof itself, 1 the sag of the roof was shown directly
 on dials. so that it could be recorded at i frequent intervals. A huge pie of | cord wood and kindling. saturated with | kerosene, was consumed, and the heat | reached a point somewhat above 2000 | degrees r. during the progress of the | eXperin.G mt. After the fire had been | burning two hours the doors were | opened, and a stream from city hy- Grau, was turned suddenly into the | buildrE but neither the fire nor the | water materially damaged the con- t,ruction. The roof, although it sagged some three inches. did not | break, and was afterward crushed by | the addition of an enormous load of
 iron. Experimental tests have be n
 made bef3Ie, but tests of the charact r
 made by Professor Norton are among | tho first which include an exact scien-
 tinc record of all the conditions and re-
 suits.

The Los Angeles Times raises the un- reasonable wall that the water of that town too nearly approaches purity. This complaint is made at time of year when the people of other parts of the country complain of extraneous and unhealthful matter in water. It is stated that in a recent examination of the product of some of the dairies which pander to the perverted taste of the AngelenOs, a total abs nee of but ter-fat was discovered and the andy sis further showed that the milk was more than half water. Why should there be any butter-fat at all? Why disooncert the milkmen? In a little while if they are let alone they will distribute pure water It is better to have no butter-fat than too many ty- phold fever germs. If the people of Los Angeles must have butter-fat and those solids which have no place at all in the traditional output of the dairy let them encourage the importation of bull butter. We of Phoenix have been through the mill and the more nearly pure our milk supply is the better we are pleased

PuoENIx, ARIZONA, AUGUST 9. 1901
Don't leave the city for mountain or beach without having The Re publican accompany you. You will be lonesome without it.

Our vaunted civilization can find nothing to boast of in the latest dis
 play of activity on the TRAIN part of train robbers, ROBBERS. who have ventur5d to
 hold up an express close Co the city of Chicago. As long as these episodes occur in the reaches Of the west. wh:re many miles intervene between stations and habitations are few and scattered, there is some war rant for regarding them as frontier in- cidents, liable to reduction by the march of civilization. But here Is a desperate attempt to rob a train close 10 the very center Of population. IL failed only because of ths unusual ar rangement of the train and the impa- tience of the desperadoes.
 The ease with which railroad trains are stopped and footed by small gangs of men reveals the delicacy of the or gani2ation which governs the trans portation business. A watchful en- gineer will check his train upon the first signal of possible danger. His re- responsibilities are too heavy to permit him to tri1c with the lives he is con duCting across country at high speed. A bonfire on the track as in this lat est case, or red lantern swung by Q masked nan will cause the great me- chanism to be stilied and to remain at the mercy of three or four criminals.
 It is apparent that the arming of sx- press messengers will not suffice to guard against these road agents. The place for men with weapons is clearly in the cab of the locomotive, or on the tender Many of these hold ups are managed by men crawling over the coal from the couplings between the tender and the first baggage car. It would pay railroad companies whose lines run into the infested districts to guard more strictly at this point. The losses to the express companies are serious in themselves, but not so dsmor- alizing as the constant demonstI ation of the power of few men 10 interrupt traffic at will and to endanger lives by the checking of passenger trains with out taking the usual precautions to prevent rear-end collisions.
 It is easy to declare that the laws
Arizona republican., 1901-08-09

punishing train robbery should be made more severe. The mere writing of pa per penalties will have no effect until the offenders are captured, and espsc- ially stringent laws are never fully en- forced, as the law-ablding citizsns of Arizona are painfully aware. Train robbery in this territory is a capital crime, but though many convictions of the crime have been had the rob bers have always been given an easy time at Yuma. One or two sweeping hauls by the authorities, followed by swift trial and the extreme punish ment, would greatly discourage the in- dustry, which seems to be creeping eastward

SCARCITY OF BIRDS.

A staten mt, based on good authori- ty, is to the effect that the useful birds
 have decreased about one-half in the past fiftesn years, and some are fear ing that the mainder will go in the next fifteen years. This cannot be the work of the small boy and the gun, or of the family cats. for neither have increased in number or in ability to destroy birds to that extent. and they certainly have not made any great de- crease in the numhr of Eng fish sparrows.

If the settlement we're not effected by

There was no repetition yesterday OF

posing show of military strength and
in the mid-afterpoon 600 additional
troops of the 9th regiment Of New

large force now on duty here. The

SUPERIOR FEARS SMALLPOX.
And Lumber Camps May Have to be
Burned

West Superior, Wis, May 1S.-It is
believed that there may be terrible
smallpox epidemic in the northern
part of the state the coming winter
Every effort has been made to stamp
it out but that has been an impossi-
bility 1t has been decided that the
one way to stamp out the disease is
by burning the lumber camps. There
are now about twenty cases.
Notice has been received here that
the $4,000 appropriated by the state
legislature as a contingency fund to
take care of epidemics will soon be
open. Superior will be one of the
principal claimants for a share of the
money this year, the first time that
any Of the money has ever been used.
The aid will be requested to help de-
fray the smallpox epidemic expense
which has been burdensome to many
cities in the northern part of the state.
The records of the patients taken care
of here show that they come from
nearly every state in the union, and on
this ground the aid will be asked. 1t
is possible that from $4,000 to $4,000
will be asked. =,

tary True. in speaking of the matter
Mr.. True said:
Our appropriation for the fair this
year was S25,000 of which $1,000 will
be put into the Milwaukee fund, while
the remaining $4,000 will be used foI
the building of a new Office building
house for the janitor and general re
pairs on the buildings. All the build
ings on the ground are badly in need
of paint, as are the fences. These
win all be painted and repaired and II
the fund is not all gone by that tine
we will build pavilions in which to
judge the stock.

the buiiding, can not say as yet. but
it will be somewhere Dear the old site
THE dairy building will be repaired
so as to give the dairy school exhibit
more room. Last year the dairy
school exhibit attracted great deal
of attention, and it is proposed to en-
large it this year, and also TO provide

fort and watch the work in progress.

with all the fair associations with the
view of getting new ideas, but so far
nothing has been settled upon. There
has been some talk of putting a .-ali

But we Will not be in a position to
do anything with that this year. All
