MINISTER WI RELEASED.

Several times II has been reported
that Minister WI Ting Fang was to
retire from his post as China's repre-
sentative in Washington, but the ru-
NOR has always proved without foun-

TO be sure that he has been recalled,

HEROES IN oBsCURITY.

History puts in its list Of heroes
such names as Of those Of Alexander,
Caesar, Washington, Napoleon, Well
lngton, Grant Won Moltke and the like
but there are men whose names are
never heard but once, and that when
they give up their lives for others, who
ask no recognition Of their deeds. who
think not Of fame, but whose souls are
as heroic as any ever placed In human
frames. Such a soul was that OF John
Mclaughlin, who gave up his life while
engaged IN resculng victims Of the
Daly-West disaster. Such a soul was
that Of Frank Sabot the boy who
rendered up his young life in saving
the lives OF others at the Rolling Mil
mine disaster at Johnstown a week ago.
Such were the souls Of the two young
Harvard students who lost their lives
In trying TO save from a watery grave
members Of the pleasure party they
were with and that had been capslzed.
The heroes whose names adorn history
are great but equally great are the
humble, almost nameless heroes. All

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

The smoke nuisance is complained OF
with reason, not only IN Salt Lake but
In many other cities IN this country.
There is city ordinance, we believe,
which requires the use OF smoke con-
sumers in buildings that use a large
amount OF coal A movement is on
foot to secure further municipal re-
qulrements In this particular We would
endorse this action II some means could
be pointed out to render 1t effective
We were in hopes that long before
this the patented consumer which has
been talked OF and experimental upon
as the invention OF Utah born gem
tleman. would be demonstrated TO have
such practical features as would render
II desirable at every place where smoke
is made a nuisance. But up to the
present time II is still in the domain Of
experiment, ana therefore cannot he
strongly urged upon coal-oonsumers.
let alone making its use obligatory.
We do not know Of any contrlvance
tried here or elsewhere that fully meets
the end in view. Until something is
proven to be effectual II would be the
height of folly to attempt to enforce an
ordinance against smoke. II the City
Council can designate some apparatus
which to a certainty will consume
smoke arising from burning coal, IL will
be perfectly proper perhaps, to require
IFS use wherever large volumes OF
smoke are emitted to the public injury.
With all the objections that have been
raised and the complaints that are
frequently made II cannot be truthfuIly
stated that this is smoky city. Al
times dense masses Of smoke pour forth |
from the high chimneys Of some manu-
factories and places OF business but |
these are small occurrences compared |
with the continual emissions Of smoke
In many towns and cities Of the country |
where little II any complaint Is made.
However, We would be in favor OF
stringent regulations for the suppress
sion of the smoke nuisance here and |
elsewhere, II some practical means Of
consuming II were available. A smoke
consumer on paper is one thing, a
real smoke-consume attached TO fur
mace seems to be another and entirely
different thing. Bring on your smoke

VERDICT ON THE DISASTER,

An inquest has been held by a coro'
ners jury on the remains Of the VIC
Tins of the disaster in the DAILY West
mine, and that body has decided that
the deceased miners came to their
death by an explosion Of giant powder
on the twelve hundred foot level OF that
mine. and that this underground maya
zine was the principal cause Of the dis
sster. This is coupled with q recon-
mendatlon that the use OF underground
magazines be discontinued, and that
legislation may be enacted to abolish
them. This is a matter that should re-
ceiye careful consideration at the next
session OF the Utah Legislature.
There are two sides, Of course, to this
question of storing explosives deep
down,in mines that are in operation. 1t
Is claimed by persons who have no wish
TO risk the lives OF their fellow beings
for any purpose, that underground stor-
age Of necessary explosives for blast
ing, near to the points Of use, is not
any more dangerous than It's storage
in places on the surface Of the ground.
Miners, however, evidently take diff
ferent view of the question, and their
opinion should have due weight In the
investigation that ought to take place
II Is clear that whatever damage and
loss Of life might have ensued II the
explosion had taken place In buildings
above ground, there would not have
been the same menace TO human life
from the gases. generated and held In
the tunnels and chambers Of the deep
mines where so many human beings
were thereby asphySiated.
No blame is officially found with the
proprietors or operators Of the mine at
which the great calamity occurred. This
we believe to be just and proper. There
was nothing unusual in the under
ground storage Of powder that is now
complained OF, and the operation Of
the mines seems to have been conduct.
ed with due care and in accordance
with the laws and regulations lnstitut-

The jury very justly recognized the
heroic conduct OF those workmen who
lost their lives In the noble work OF
rescuing their comrades As the smoke
OF the horror clears away, may the sun
shine OF comfort and consolation shine
into the souls of the bereayed And
may Utah never be stricken with an

er reading through the Holy BOOK III
times he knows how many times GER
tain words and letters appear; how
many chapters and verses there are'
names that spell the same both ways;
peculiar passages of Scripture; the
middle book, chapter, verse and line
and other facts. lie says if you want
to read the Bible through in a year
you can do so in an interesting and IN
structiye manner by reading three
chapters every week day and five on
Sunday. Or read two in the Old and
one in the New Testament every week
day and six in the Old and four in the
New Testament every Sabbath and
YOU will then have read the Old Testa-
ment once and the New tv..-- N the

ABOUT ARTIFICIAL ICE.
The Psinoipis Upon which This Great
Comm odity Is Manu-
factured.

The principle upon which the manu-
facture OF ice is based is that a gas,
when compressed, gathers heat enor-
mously, and IL robbed Of this heat and
allowed to escape at future time, II
seeks to regain its heat by withdraw
ing heat from its surroundings. Am
monla gas is generally preferred ts
others, because il can be hquified
with comparatively little pressure.
On removing the water from common
ammonia by distillation, anhydrous
ammonia Is obtained This IS com
pressed by combined steam pump
and compressor, and the resulting
liquefaction induces heat, which IL
economical by circulating water about
the vessel or pipe containing the hqui-
fed ammonia. Thus the ammonia is
cooled aud the heat largely trans
ferred to the water, which Is then
pumped back 10 the boiler that sup
plies the steam pump. The liquid am
monia is then carried in pipe to ex-
pansion coils that afford plenty OF
room for its evaporation, when it be-
gins to return to the gaseous form
and TO draw heat from its surround
ings-wh.ch gradually reduces the
temperature. Proper vessels OF wa
ter are placed in contact with the ex.
pausion coils and in due time ice is
formed.
