Apples Being Masketed.

The Canon City apple crop Is being
sold earlier this season that has been
the case for several years, due to bet
ter prices and to the advent Of Armor
4 Co. the we'll known Kansas City
packers in the market as buyers. Thus
far nearly two-thirds Of the apples
grown in this vicinity have been sold /,
although only a small part Of them
have been shipped out. The prices
ranged from seventy cents to one dol
lar and quarter box for first-elass
fruit, the highest figures being paid for
select Jonathans. In some cases
seconds we're disposed Of as low as forty
cents box. slthough in most instances
prices have been fairly satisfactory. 1t
is difficult to estimate the value OF the
apple crop Of the Canon City distric
on account of the great variation in
the prices received by the different
orchardists, although it will run up in
to the hundreds of thousands OF dollars.
The crop may be roughly guessed at
about one houndred and fifty car loads,
which is consid erably less than the
amount grown in 1903.

TRAIN STALLED FOR TWO YEARS.
Resumes Its Journey After Long Period Of
Waiting.

Beaumont, Tex. Especially On Sum
day morning, July 26, the only train run
ming on the Gulf and Interstate Railroad
pulled into the passenger station al
Beaumont just I,o4o days late, starting
from Galveston September 8, 1900. II
has been stalled half way between the
.wo cities since that date. Special festi'
yites marked the arrival of the belated
No. I. Of the passengers who started
with the train many met death. The
,thers walked and rode in wagons, lcav-
ng the engine more than two years and
L half behind.
In the wind, rain and weather the train
has stood where it was stalled so long
ago, only to be finally rescued and
brought to cover as relic OF other days.
The same locomotive that started SO
ong ago pulled the same wcather-beaten
and dilapidated coaches through to the
destination that should have been
reached four hours after the start was
made.
When it pulled into the station two
years nine months and 26 days behind 1t
was greeted by salutes from all the
engines in the Beaumont yards. In the
:ars rode the officials of the road. The
event was made the occasion for a gen
eral celebration in the city.

INSTRUMENTS TO PREDICT WEATHER.
Experiments With Monster Coelostat by the
Socialists Of the Smithsonian.

Washington, D. C. (SpeciaD.-The
scientists OF the Smithsonian Institu-
ton are conducting a series OF exper-
ments with newly completed coelo-
stat. By the use OF this instrument it
IS believed more accurate weather pre-
1ictions will be made.
The, present experiments deal with
he absorption Of the suns rays by the
gases surrounding the sun. This alb
sorption varies and thus has great
influence upon the weather conditions
Of the earth, and vice versa. The OBJ.
servations are based on this theory.
A sufficient number of observations have
not yet been made to furnish stable
basis for this theory.
The new coelostat which has beer
erected in the rear Of the Smthson-
an Institution is the largest in the
United States, and differs from the
other instruments in that it has a Sec
ond mirror that gives fixed northern
ray. as well as the first mirror, which
reflects a ray from the different posi-
tons OF the sun. The telescope which
is used in connection with the coelo-
stat has a horizontal length OF 14c
feet.
Especial attention will be given in
these observations to the so-called
sun spots" for the origin Of which
many theories have been advanced.

Turtle Stood the Shock.

Derby, Conn. (Special).-That tur-
ties can withstand without injury a
tremendous electric force was demon
strated here when more than 500 volts
were sent through one OF them. Ed
ward Frost, Central Village natural
ist. tried the experiment. The turtle
only quivcrcd slightly when the cur
rent was applied and then crawled off
unframed, when it was turned off Mr..
Frost says the reason why reptilia with
bony body plates can resist such a
shock is because the heart has two
auricles and one ventricle, rendering
it almost impossible to cause sudden
cessation OF the action OF the organ.
