The great objection to electric mo
tors-that they will not run far enough
without recharging-is said to be over
come. Recently in England circuit
Of "a miles was run without recharg.
ing. 1t was done with a battery Of II
four-plate cells. with capacity Of 1876
ampere-hours. The carriage was .
four-wheel dogcart with two motors OF
two and a half horsepower each The
secret of the battery which enabled il
to make such a record was that in
going down grade the motors were re.
versed. thus making dynamos for
charging the accumulators. In this
way the current was not only saved
but a new current actually generated,
rendering the battery stronger at the
bottom of the grade than it was at the
top.

Criminologists say that the greatest,
An untold number of crimes have been
confessed by their perpetrators during
sleep. , 81, r.-..
Many years ago a common lodging
house was the scene of sleeping Grim.
malls confession The room was occu-
pied by himself and one other. a young
sailor. While the sailor was lying
awake he suddenly heard a curious and
CHASTITY laugh issue from. his room
companiens lips. The laugh was fol
lowed by a long and rambling descrip-
ton of a murder he had committed,
horrible In its details. The sailor
crept downstairs and informed the
landlord of what had occurred. The
latter at once summoned policeman,
who recognized the sleeper as the man
wanted" for the crime in question. Al
the trial which followed he was found
guilty and sentenced to death.
In Prussia the husband of a certain
attractive young woman had vanished
in a mysterious manner from his home
and all attempts to trace his where
abouts failed completely. Meantime q
netghbor called Schmidt, who had been
devoted to the young wife before heI
marriage, reappeared on the scene and
paid her assiduous attentions. So sue
cessfully did he press his suit that
within a year of his rivals disappear
ance tho woman consented to marry
him, and they were united at the par
lsh church.
On the second night following the
wedding the newly made bride lay
awake, unable to slumber. Presently
there came a gurgling cry from the
sleeping form beside her, and mo-
ment later the man leaped from his
bed and in q loud voice proclaimed
that he had killed the missing husband
md had buried the body In a neighbor-
Ing wood.
The wife drank in the confession,
and in the morning carried the story
10 the police bureau. The place named
by tho sleeper was searched and. sure
enough, the body Of the vanished uan
discovered there.

PASSING OF the oAervs. a
Rrlgation Of tho Plains OF AI1zona
real to the Plant w

The bringing of water to the arid
fpastes Of Arizona and the consequent
svolution from desert to garden is
tausing the extinction Of one Of the
strangest plants in the world, says the
New York Sun. At recent session Of
The territorial legislature, the cereus
siganteus. the great cactus, better
known as the saguara, and peculiar tc
The soil of this territory, was made
the official flower of Arizona. Not
many years will elapse before new
choice will be necessary.
When the first Franciscan Fathers
iourneyed north from Mexico into Ari-
IONA they carried back reports of the
great cactus which covered the plains
IF the new country. and. told about Its
food value to the Indians. Now, as
The art of the American has reclaimed,
loot by foot, the former desert, and
the magic water has made orange,
peach and apricot orchards and great
felds OF alfalfa, the saguara has been
driven out, and only In spots where
water cannot be placed can the ODD
plant be found.
On the rocky, gravelly mesas, the
saguaras, the largest of the cactus
family point their candelabrum-like
arms straight toward the sky, not in
frequently attaining a height Of sixty
feet. The body of the saguara, some
times two feet in thickness. is COM
posed Of thin pieces of porous wood,
arranged In the form Of Corinthian
column, covered and held together by
the outside fibre of pale green.
At some distance from the ground
large branches put out, while the
whole surface is covered with sharp,
prickly thorns. A large, white, some
lines purple blossom comes forth
sarly in the spring and ripens into a
pear-shaped fruit by the last Of June.
I This fruit. the petahaya, tastes like
! mixture of raspberry and fig, and is
highly priced by both Indians and
Mexicana. Part Of the fruit is eaten
while ripe. and the rest is dried IN the
sun or boiled down to jam.
Until the advent of the missionaries
% the Papago Indian tribe. some TWEEN
" years ago, the gathering Of yhe sa-
guara was the occasion of the greatest
orgy of tho year. From the fruit y
highly intoxicating beverage waA
made. With this the Indians drank
themselves into state OF frenzied In
toxication. During the feasts num-
Der of the braves were frequently
killed.
The saguara L. short-llved, although
tradition has given 1t an age measured
by centuries. and usually begins to
decay at the base before attaining Its
growth. Moisture is fatal to 1t. and az
soon as 1t receives constant supply
af water, decay Is rapid.

Mexlc.ns ON the Ranch.

Very many Mexicans will only go to
work when absolutely driven to it by
sheer gnawing hunger. Any one who
has been round sheep camps in the
west knows what an inconceivable
amount of grub a Mexican herder
will put away in the first few days of
his hiring out. He is probably making
up for months of semi-starvation. IT,,
as say, some one of them takes job
herding, and is off in camp by him
self, he sends letter to the mail by
the foreman or camp mover. They
cannot in charity or reason prevent a
man from writing to his wife or any
one else he chooses, but before long
the chances are that some friend of
his Wal be out filling up on the
bosss grub, and doing nothing for it
but keeping the herder from his work.
Two Mexicans together are like two
boys-only half single one They
chatter and play monte, and neglect
their work BY themselves they make
the best herders They are lazy enough,
children of the sun as they are. to en-
joy sitting or lying all day and let the
sheep scatter enough, and yet not too
much. Put white man as herder,
and he is apt either to keep the sheep
too close, for fear of losing them, or
thoroughly worthless, as the chances
are he is, or he would not be in such
g position at ALTO take no. pains
whatover and let them wander hap.

Fine Wines and Liquors.

It is well to know that there is an
institution in our city, Savannah, Ca,
where the finest wines and liquors can
be had. Lippman Bros, of this city,
import their Scotch and Irish WHISTLES
from Kirker Greer & Co., of Belfast,
ireland. and Glasgow. Scotland. They
import their fine Rhine and Mozelle
wines from Frankfort, Germany. Their
fine French clarets and fine French
cognac brandles all from Bordeaux
France. They also import their lime
Juice from Leath, Scotland. Anybody
can make an advertisement like the
above, but we can substantiate what
we say, by telling our customers and
friends to apply to the United States
Custom House of this city, where they
will find all the goods in bond import
ed from these countries the property
of Lippman Bros.
We want to get the best trade on
these goods, and therefore shall retail
whiskies and liquors in any quantity
desired for our customers.
o. V. II. Scotch whisky has been IN
bond in this city for over three years.
and was ten years old before it came
here. 1t Is a rare Scotch whisky, and
probably nothing like it to be had in
the South. Lippman Bros, agents for
