Higher Temperature with Electricity
Previous to the development Of the
electric furnace 5000 degrees Z. was
the highest possible limit Of heat. Now
electric furnaces produce artificial tenn
peratures far above this limit, which
enable us to fuse and otherwise treat
commercially such hitherto refractory
substances as chromium. platinum. car
bon. and it is even possible to fuse the
once indestructibIe crystalline form of
that element the diamond.

THE PRESCOTT HANGING
Yesterday the Last Sunday ths Cod
 daTd nuTderers Will Ever See.

Sheriff Roberts of YaVapai county was in town yesterday. He said that the thing of most popular interest inn pending in Prescott was the hanging of the two MeXicans convicted of the murder of Charles F.. Goddard and Frank Cox, next Friday The scaffold is TOW in process of construction. The murderers hear the sound of hammer and saw and understand what it is all about, but they seem to take not the slightest interest in that incident of in- dustrial activity. They apparently care less about the festivities of July S1 than anybody else in Prescott.
 They will die in almost exactly six months from the date of the slaughter at Goddard station on the night of Feb ruary l. That is quick time in the United States. It is the quicker in view of the fact that the identity of the mur- derer was not discovered until four months after the commission of the crime. The delays of the law were not invoked in their case. There was no new trial. no appeal to the supreme court, no resort to any of those means furnishing murderers opportunity for them or the witnesses against them to die of old age.

HER PROPOSAL TURNED DOWN

There is a small town up the state that boasts a female preacher, and the lady's duties are many. One day she may visit the sick, another attend a funeral. and the next baptize a baby. One afternoon she was preparing a sermon for the following Sunday, when she heard a timid knock at the parson- age door. Answering the summons she found a bashful German standing on the step and twirling his straw nat in his hands.
 Good afternoon" the preacheress re- marked. What do you wish?'
 "Dey say der minister flied in dis hous. hey?"
 "Yes. sir"
 "Yess? We'll. I want to me kit mar riet."
 "An right; I can marry you" she said.
 The lady's hair is beginning to silver, and the German glanced at it. Then he jammed his hat on his head and hur- ried down the walk. Whats the mat ter?" she cried after him.
 "You gifts no chance init me" he called back. II don't want you; I haf got me girl alreaty!"-Philadelph Telegraph.

RAzORS DON'T TIRE.

Do you know why we dip a razor in warm water before we begin shaving, and do you know why some ignorant men say a razor is 'tired?'" asked the barber. Well, this is all due to the fact that a razor is saw, not a knife
 and it works like a saw. not like a knife. Examined under the microscope
 it's edge that looks so smooth to the naked eye. is seen to have innumera- ble and fine saw teeth. When these teeth get clogged with dirt all the hCning and stropping in the world will do no good-the razor is dull and noth- ing will sharpen it.

of manure stacked in an adjoining pas sage. When brought from the cavalry barracks nearby it is here worked" by the admixture of water until it attains the required consistency. We soon passed this steam and heat and entered caves where the air was dry and cool.
 In these manure is laid out in round e., hummocks along the walls, and in the wider passages in lines down the center as well. Sometimes there are as many as five of these rows. The mushroom seed is then placed in these manure piles, and the date of the planting" is written on the wall above the section.
 The mounds are then covered with a fine powder obtained by sitting the tailings from the quarried limestone. just as coal dust is separated from coal. The mushroom is now planted and the hummock is left undisturbed for three months, more or less, when first growth begins to appear The mushrooms con- tinue to sprout during threee months. but then engender a certain poisonous gas which kills their own seed. The whole planting must then be removed and the place thoroughly cleaned.
 During harvest time" crop is gath cred every "A hours. Three men with their great baskets made the rounds of this underground farm every morning. and every day in the year can count on an immense crop. which they ship to the large cities nearby, and even several miles away. The discolored and inferior mushrooms are sent to the can- neries. but for his best growth the pro- ducer receives only 20 cents q pound.-- ScribneT . Magazine.

 Sawdust is very destructive to fishes in aquarium experiments, but seems to prove much less so in rivers.
 The nests of a caterpillar of undeter- mined species living in a single forest Of Madagascar. offer a possible new source Of fine silk. NJ. Thery of the Madagascar forest department. states that these nests, which are attached to trees. are of dazzling whiteness, and are about 16 inches long. consisting of silk-lustrous, very flexible and very tenacIous-much resembling that of the common silkworm. From 100 to 150 cat erpillars are very prolific. and it is introduced into other forests. Expert ments are being made to determine the value of the silk.
 It is becoming understood that death is often, if not always, a gradual pro cess, cells and tissues remaining active for hours or even days. after the or ganism as a whole is dead. Prof, Her ing point out that this Is especially noticeable in some lower animals. The action of ciliated cells from the gills of clam or the trachea of a dead frog may be observed for long time under the microscope. and when supplied with nutrient solution cells from frogs brain have even been kept alive more than a week. Hearts of animals often move along after removal from the body. The heart of a frogS will beat for hours. and that of a turtle or snaka sometimes for a week.
 Rubber that that grows underground is an interesting new product of the French Congo. It is obtained just be- meath the bark of several plants, the best samples being from the root bark of the Landolphia Tholloni. and it is of the finest quality. When the bark is broken. the two pieces are held to- gether by the rubber lining, which is of great elasticity.
 A new albuminoid substance, which has been named ''maisine.' has been abtained by E. Donard and H Labbe from maize of which 1t forms to A per cent. It is an extremely light and fine white powder. and resembles wheat gluten in appearance, but differs from it in chemical properties. It is insoluble in hot and cold water and saline so- iutions. but dissolves in alcohol. ace tone and alkalies.

 "Is it true, Mir. Secretary" he was asked one day. that Minister Conger has been instructed to demand the ex ecution of Prince Tuan?"
 No, that is not true" responded MT. Root, but Gen. Chaffee has been in structed to send the poison cup to. the Empress Dowager."
 On the day the insular cases were decided by the supreme court, there was a great deal of speculation as to what the court meant. Secretary Root had attended the session of the court and listened to the opinions. Soon aft CT his return to the war department a large delegation of newspaper men called on him to interpret the decision The secretary protested that it was im- possible for him. after hearing the opinions read once to come to a con- clusion. He was asked many questions about different phases of the opinions, but returned the same answer. Fin l ally one man said:
 MT. Secretary, tell us this much: Under these decisions, does the consti- tuition follow the flag" The secretary considered a moment, and with the peculiar expression that comes over his face when he sees a good thing. replied:
 AS near as I can make out from ] hearing the different opinions read, I think the constitution does follow the | fiag-but it doesn't catch up with it."

SCIENCE NOTES.

Ireland's bogs are better than gold mines and should transform the coun- try, in the roseate view of Sir Richard Sankey He estimates that these bogs contain the equivalent Of 5000, 900 900 tons of coal, and he would create power for varied industries by converting the fuel into. electricity on the spot, an cleo tric main of 150 miles sufficing to reach any part of Ireland from the bogs of Mayo. In America electric current is readily transmitted 20 miles with a loss of only 20 per cent.

RAISING MUSHROOMS.
Description of the Greatest Mushroom
 Garden in France.

The strangest of these underground worlds which I visited was one devoted to the raising of mushrooms. Its limits seemed unbounded, as, indeed, they were, for it pierced through an opening under an orchard of cherry trees. About 10 feet inside the entrance was well. and near it a lantern, which my kind guide lighted. We had proceeded but few steps when suddenly the air be- came very close and warm, and a dense white mist shut us in. I found this was heat and steam rising from huge piles

BOAT BOYS WILL
ENJOY A LUAU
TO CELEBRATE NEW
YEARS TOMORROW AT NOON
WITH A BIG FEAST.

The boat boys are to have a grand
New Years luau tomorrow high noon
lis the hour Boatman John Mahuka
one of the leading lights of the Nor
mon Faith is the generalissimo of the
affair. Old Sam is to attend to the
liquid refreshments but this feature Of
the luau will be a sort of side issue.
Officially the luau is to be devoid of
Iany liquid except water but Sam in
,sists that a luau without gin is the
same as Hamlet left out of the tragedy
so declares that between courses, he
will lead the way to the nearest saloon.
He will head personally conducted eX-
cursions for any who may thirst for
strong liquor.
The luau serves a double purpose, it
celebrates the advent of the New Year
and also enables the boys to pay tri-
butte to the recent visit of the Ameri-
can fleet to this port. The presence of
the fleet was a source of universal pro-
! fit to the boatboys. 1t seemed, as if
the good old times had returned. Every
iboatboy made money fast and in con-
sequence all were willing to have the
luau.
! Instead of having the feast spread on
the ground, the boys will have quite an
original table. They viii utilize two
of the boats as tables. The boat land
ing will be decorated.
