primitive process that is a marvel of old
time ingenuity is caimed.in the Russian method
of storing petroleum. Nostrong and expensive
iron tank is built, but instead bottomless tank
of cheap sheet iron is suspended in water on
piles, the top projecting foot or so above
water-level. This tank is filed through pipe
passing to its centre, the water sinking as the
oil enters. The plan has other advantages be-
sides Responsiveness for if the oil should take
fire some of it may be drawn off from the bot
tom and as there is only water at the bottom
sand and dirt do not accumulate in the tank.

In a recent comparative test of pavements,
the average temperature of macadam was 1929 Z;
of asphalt, 1872 of granite, 115o, and of wood,
1919. Wood, instead of asphalt, is thus shown
to be the hottest material. Other tests showed
advantages for macadam, especially over as
phalt as it retains water longer after sprinking,
and the dust on it can be more easily kept laid.
Asphalt is dustier than macadam, as its surface
is being constantly pulverzed and is not easily
kept wet.

Animal fiber that has been treated with soda
solution is found by o. Freymann and Charles
Tolman to have the curious property of elon-
eating on exposure to smoke. The treatment
consists in boiling the flber-which may be silk
or horse hair for 20 minutes in a to 10 per
cent. solution of commercial soda, and then
drying while slightly stretched in tube from
which the air has been exhausted. just what
change is produced is not understood. The
presence of smoke is found to have invariable
effect, however, and smoke detector alarm has
been patented which is made to act through the
closing of an electric circuit by the frightening
of the fiber.

The influence of hypnotism upon the lower
animals has attracted little attention. But N.
Vaschilde of Paris, who is still working with
dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens and
snakes, declares that the mysterious power, has
real action, and that it may produce complete
an@thesia and brain paralysis. Mile. M. Stefa-
nowski has found half-starved frogs susceptible,
the cataleptic state produced often persisting
for half an hour. In various experiments, es-
pecially by simply looking them in the eye, NJ
Vaschilde has succeeded in hypnotizing frogs,
even when we'll fed and free to move about on a
table or in tank. The sleep, though not last
ing long, was so profound that needles and hot
iron brought no sign of sensation.

The spark of life glowing In these rag
ged sufferers for no one knows how
long. None Of the children could cook
and what little food they did eat was
raw. From all that could be learned,
the children had lived in that mlser-
able place OF restitution and loneliness
for weeks without having seen a per-
son or having had the least help from
anywhere.
The circumstances were reported at
the nearest town. but whether any
thing has been done 10 alleviate the
sufferings OF the orphans or not is
not known here.
Sheriff Naylor Acts.
When the story Of these terrible con-
diuOns fell under the eyes OF the sis
ters here, the circumstances related
made them feel sure that the children
were their relatives, although no names
of the children have been secured. Mrs.
Moore and Mrs, Hall Immediately
called upon Sheriff Naylor and in a
heartbroken plea begged him 10 take
some steps 20 learn for sure II the
children were Mrs. Wales children.
The story told by Mrs. Moore and
Mrs. Hall is that their sister married
a man by the name of Vale in this
city a number OF years ago. and went
10 Clallam county, Washington, TO take
up a homestead claim. The last time
Mrs. Vale was heard from by the sis
ters she was living somewhere near
Collins Ia Clallam county. SEven chill
dren were born 10 them. the Oldest be-
ing a boy. Mr.. Vale died and after
wards Mrs Vale married a man by
the name Of Townes When the gold
excitement was rife in Alaska. Mr..
Townes left Washington 10 go 20 Nome
and took passage on one of the steam
ers that was lost. Since that time
nothing has been heard from him and
il is believed that he went down with
the ship.
For a year past the sisters living
here had heard nothing at all from
Mrs. Vale. until the paper fell into
their hands containing the account of,
as they believe. the death of their
sister, and the misery Of her children.
They are almost overcome with the
dread fear that the truth Is as they
suspect.
Under the direction of Sheriff Nay
Tor o number of letters have been
written 10 various postohice officials
and officers i'm that section OF Wash
lngton asking for information about
Mrs. Townes or Mrs. Vale, and re-
plies from there are being anxiously
awaited.

Price, Utah, Oct PA bungling al
tempt was made some time last night
or early this morning to rob the First
National bank of Price.
Entrace to the building was gained by
prying open a door which led into the
directors room from a hallway. Pre-
