Monte Vista 1. on the Map.

Monday the east bound freight
train pulled out of this station
with 81 broad gauge cars filled and
four empty. THIS train consisted
of 10 cars loaded at this station.
The mill company shipped IL cars
% cars of of hay, 3 of oats and
. of hour-wcighing about 100
tons. The freight on the Monte
Vista shipment alone reached
about $500. 1t would seem that
this line is entitled to at least one
train day instead of every other
day as at present.
There was never as much build
ing going on in town at this season
OF the year rs at the present time.

n Narrow Escape.

Last Saturday afternoon. while
playing along the banks Of the
Lariat Canal, Alphonso, the
youngest son Of Gail Martinez,
fell in and was carried under a
bridge. The water WAS up to the
stringers and yet when about half
way under the bridge the boy
reached his hand up through a
hole between two planks and
screamed for help. Orvill Smith
heard his cry and came to his res
cue.
The wonder il that after having
gone under the water he should
have been able TO discover the
opening in the bridge and to have
taken advantage of 1t.

TEMPLE IN JAPAN.
Some Are Sncrcd to the Spirits OF
Dend ChiIdEen-Visited Mostly
by BereHved Mothers.

There are many peculiar temples
throughout Japan. those sacred to the
spirits of dead children being, per-
haps, as odd as any. These temples
are mostly visited by sad mothers.
One of these at Kioto, says an ex-
change, contains hundreds of small
wooden Buddhas, arranged on shelves,
sloping back. row upon row, and COW
cred with the baby clothes OF infants
who have died under q year old. AT
Osaka is another of these childrsn's
temples. Here, too, are hung every
where children's clothes offered by tho
mothers.
A priest sitting on a mat gives the
bereaved mother, for q fee, a shaving
of wood with the name of the dead
child written on it. This she takes tC
another shrine, where Is q pool oil
water Issuing from the mouth of q
colossal stone tortoise. The pool is
full Of these shavings. They are cast
into II just where the water pours in
from the t~ortoise's mouth, and happy
the woman whose chip gets well soaked
at once. 1t is believed that this viii
insure the child an easy passage tC
Heaven, as the water carries the
names to Buddha, who at once calls
for them as he reads them.

TRANSPARENCY OF FLESH.
Actinic Rays of II sun Pass Through
lunar Cheek and Affect Photo
graphic Dry Plate.

DR.. j. W. Kline. in al article contribut-
ed to the Scientific American, gives de-
tails of some experiments that show
that sunlight will penetrate In a COM
pa~ratively short time through G consid-
cradle thickness of flesh. He bound to-
gether a small negative and a gelatino-
bromide plate OF the ordinary kind
Chat Is, not specially sensitized for
color, and put the combination be-
tween the teeth AID the cheek of the
subject, taking suitable precautions that
no light should enter the mouth. The
cheek was then exposed to direct sun
shine in February for 40 seconds, and
in every case 1t proved that the image
was developable. One man had a thick,
short black beard, and this lessened the
exposure effect somewhat. Another
vas q negro, with a thick, dark cheek;
here the diminuttOn in the light trans
mitted was still more marked. No steps
were taken to interfere with the circu-
latton Of the blood, and DR.. Kline con-
siders that his experiments show that
1t Is not necessary, az has been stated,
to compress tho parts to free them from
blood as far az possible when light Is
used as a surgical agent. DR.. Kline also
states that his experiments show why
red light is valuable in the treatment of
smallpox. "They prove that no chem
zeal light of any consequence reaches
the patient" whenEed curtains are fixed
over the windows, etc, and so irritation
is prevented and subsequent disfgure-
ment lessened. But, as the Photographic
plates used were not sensitive to red
light, the s%oundness of this deduction
from the experimental results may be
doubted.
