ICE STOVES TO KEEP COOL
Willis Moore of Weather Bureau
Describes Unique Invention.

"Put some more ice in the stove; we
must keep COOL" is likely to be the
remark heard in the near future.
Willis Moore, chief of the United
States weather bureau, announces that
his invention for cooling rooms would
soon be on the market. His apparatus,
the "Nevo"-spell it backward and it
is oven looks like a stove, being a
cylinder of cooper or galvanized iron,
with a door midway its height. A
medium sized nevo is six feet high and
two feet in diameter.
One hundred pounds of ice broken TO
the size off urnace coal and mixed in a
tub with $50 pounds of salt is the
"fuep' used. The mixture is placed
in the nevo and pipe lets out the
thaw water at the bottom.
From the stove comes air of the tenn
perature OFFS deg. Fahrenheit Such
stove will cost about 5000 and will
keep cool room Is by Is feet at cost
of $50 TO SIS for a summer. The ice
stoves may be had in various sizes.

MONROE ADAMS TO HANG.
The Negro Who Killed His Wife
and Daughter.

Judge Il. A Littleiohn has re-sen-
fenced Monroe Adams to hang for the
atrocious murder of his own wife and
grown daughter which crime was com
mitted in Americus six months ago.
The execution is dated for April %.
Adams case was appealed to the SUI
preme court, of course, and new trial
refused. The crime was one of the
most revolving ever committed in Geor-
gia. Adams is a bright and very in
telligent muIatto. He had domestic
troubles, and on the night of the homi-
eide, armed with a double barreled
shot gun and pocket full of shells, he
went forth to kill four other negroes.
whom he named, and who he alleges
caused his domestic trouble. He main
tains that he killed h is own family by
mistake, thinking them two of the
other negroes marked for murder.

MAKES DOCTORS MARVEL.
Opinions Differ as to Whether or
Not Young Man Is Dead.

Efforts are being made to bring life
back into the body of Thomas Gus
lander, young man who is said TO
have died several days ago at Tum-
water, Wash, of inlammatorY rheu-
matism.
Opinions differ as to whether life is
entirely extinct. The physicians and
undertaken, though mystitied at first,
now agree that the young man is dead.
His mother refuses to give him up,
and will not consent to his burial.
Rigor mortis, the stlffening which in
v4riably sets in after death, has not
made its appearance in this case, the
BODY being as limp as it was before the
mans suppo .ed death No signs of
modification have appeared. His
mother thinks there is still warmth in
his hands, while pinkstinge is OBJ
servabe on his finger tips and on one
ear.
Undertaken Whiteside asserts that
il some instances bodies remain per
ectly limp after death, as with Gus
Under. The young mans body has
been submitted to electrical treatment
at the request of his mother in the
hope of producing some signs of life.
The electrical battery was used vigor'
ously with the result of bringing some
thing like life into the hands. There
is no respiration, and the physicians
agree that there are no signs of life.

EgYptian Cotton.

Egyptian cotton, which was carried
from this state to Egypt many years
ago and which changed its tint and
fiber under its new climate, bids fair to
be the greatest competitor to the south
ern cotton planters, especially the sea
island grow ers The great dam which
has been completed across the Nile
and which was built for the purpose OF
reclaming, by irrigation, much of the
fertile soil which had been worthless
for lack of moisture will add millions
of acres TO the cotton-growing section
of Egypt.

$40. 0O0, 900, but this uas now leapeo u
ahout S23.OOO,O 900. There are other
charges also involving extravaganza
that il is promised will be brought out
by the investigation now goinP on,
which is being conducted by the post
office inspectors.
The principal charge against Mr.
Machen, personally, is that he was
connected with scheme TO favor
certain make of mail box to be used on
rural routes. 1t is alleged that he FUR
uished advance information to the OH
GERS of the company manufacturing
this box as to the establishment OF
new routes in order that they might
pet on the ground first and thus prac-
tically do away with competition.
1t is known that Postmaster General
Payne ordered the investigation TO be
made during his absence, and that Mr..
Wynne is merely carrying out the or
ders of his superior. Mr.. Wynne says
he will DE very glad if the investiga'
tion Axonerates Mr.. Machen, but that
he has been convinced ever since MS
entrance into office that things were
not as they should be in the salary
and allowance and rural free delivery
divisions, and that his efforts nave
simply been directed toward an lnyes-
tigatlon of these bureaus in order that
the truth might be known.
AS Mr.. Machen says he does not in
tend to resign the investigation will
take it's natural course, and no action
will be taken until Mr.. Payue's return,
when the truth or falslty of the charges
against the accused official will be de-
cided. Relations between the officials
are very strained, and what
ever sthe result of the Investigation
may be there will certainly be one or
more designations or removals.

AN ARIZONA JAIL.
II Is Cut info the Solid Rock and
Is One of the Safest in
the Country.
From the Scientific American

From the Scientific American
One of the strongest jails in the
country is located in Graham county,
Arizona, in the town of Clifton.
This community is situated in val
lev on one side of which rises hill
composed principally of quartz rock.
When the county authorities desired
to have place for combining prisoners
IT, was decided to make an excavation
in the hill side, which was done by
blowing out the rock with explosives.
The opening was made merely
large enough for one man to pass
through without difficulty, while the
interior was excavated like coal mine
and divided by natural partitions into
four cells. No effort was made to
finish the Interior of the cells, the roof
and sides being left in the jagged con-
dition caused by the blasting.
To admit air and light several holes
were made in the hillside, also by
means of explosives, and the opening
secured by bars of steel about an inch
in diameter driven into holes in the
rock and cemented.
The entrance was fastened by means
of door, also composed of steel bars,
but as a means of further protection
and to provide accommodation for the
sheriff and his officers an artificial
wing or vestibule was connected OF
rough masonry, the stone which was
blasted out of the excavation be-
ing used for this purpose. The vesti-
bule is divided into two sections, so
that in order to reach the Jail proper
one must go through three barred
gates.
While the cells are but four in num-
Der each is large enough to hold sew
eral inmates, and this novel Jail can
accommodate score of persons at one
time, If desired.
Although the walls, sides and roof
are composed of rock the interior Is
dry, and the inmates suffer far less
discomfort than many of those who are
placed in artificial structures.
The thinnesJ part of the wall OF this
Jail is over six feet in thickness, so
the Jail, besides being freproof, is GER
tainlV secure.

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.
