sMELTER IMPROVEMENTS.
Especial to The ReviewD

DOUGLAS. Dec. 1-The Copper Queen company is making many changes of great importance at the smelters in this city. Two new fur naces are being added and a new con verter is being installed. The furnaces being put in are from the old plant in Bisbee which was closed some months ago. They are being added to the west end of the building and the foundations are now being laid. This increase in smelting capacity means the employment of at least thirty new men, A new bullion track is being built: this track will run north and south along the west side of the bul- lion floor and will be much more con- venient than the present track. The hydraulic elevator to load the bullion into the cars will be put in at once New blowers, driven by electric motors. are being set up in the new part of the smelter near the mud mill. All these changes mean greatly increased bullion production in the very near future.

a notable fact that we will begin the calendar year of 1905 with practically no surplus stocks. The exports this year will vary slightly from 250.0O0 tons. With the increase in domestic consumption it is' evident that during 1905 We can spare much less copper than during the past year.

the week amounted to nearly seven
hundred dollars. Kennedy paid II
with an easy grace that suggested his
ownership of millions As a matter
Of fact. he had about fifty dollars left.
While he was having his royal time
at the hotel, Kennedy could not be
! bothered to go TO the Office he was sup
posed to manage. At the end of the
week he turned up there-still drunk.
The understanding Melhado turned
upon him at last.

Kennedy Indignantly refused. He
said he had contract to edit the pa
per, and he was going TO edit it. No
body should drive him back to Eng
land.
He edited it for two or three
months, and the subscribers could hard
~ recognize it for the same dull old
sheet they had been wont to yawn
over. His articles were brilliant, his
editorial policy sound and daring; in
word, ne was genius as news
paper man.
But he would work like horse for
two or three days and then meet
some good fellows at the club or the
hotel or the officers rooms. and his
office would see nothing of him for a
week. So at last Melhado had to dis
charge him.
Kennedy hung about the streets of
the city for six months, growing more
and more out at elbows, until at last
he was glad to take a. minor job as
reporter on another paper He got
drunk on his first important assignment
and was promptly fired"
So he drifted for years, disdaining
all offers to be shipped back to Eng
land, until he got to the point where
he was glad, in his sober spells, to
get a few days employment as a proof
reader at a dollar a day. He had fill
ed every position on every one of the
local papers; from editor of the fore
most to prOofreader on the hindmost.
But by this time he could not hold
even the humblest billet longer than
a couple of days When he got his first
dollar he would be drawn as by in

HEAT FROM THE STARS.

Prof Nichols, the astronomer, made a
wonderfully delicate instrument some
time ago to measure very faint heat
waves. 1t is so sensitive to heat that
it registers the warmth that emanates
from a mans face 1000 feet, or more
than a third of a mile away.
With this instrument Prof. Nichols
tried experiments in the Yerkes OBJ
servatory. He selected the two stars
Vega and Arcturus. These stars are
so far away from the earth that the
human mind cannot conceive the dis
tance. No instrument had ever been
able to detect the slightest warmth
from them.
Prof. Nichols succeeded with his ap-
pliance. He found that Arcturus sends
the earth as much heat as man could
get from a candle burning six miles
away from him. Vega was found to
send only half as much heat as this

| run TO him eagerly the women would
| bring him little presents of fruit and
| preserves, and the men were always
eager TO share their cigars and rum
with him. In a word. he was courted
by everybody, although most de-
classed whites of his type are despised
by the blacks even more than they
are by their fellow whites. But one
day, during a yellow fever epidemic,
the secret of Kennedy's strange popu-
larity was explained to the editor who
had succeeded him by a negro COM
positor in his office.
Laid, sab" he said. when he was
asked if he knew where he could find
Kennedy. "Massa Kennedy, him took
sick badly an gone to do hospital. ."
What's the matter with him?
Drunk again?"
NO. sab: it's de fevah Him ketch
il when him nursin' Archibald Men

Little by little the story was drawn
out of the man, who had all the West
Indian Negroes reluctance to tell a
white man what went on in the negro
quarter.
Mendoza a poor friendless mulattO.
had been seized by the yellow fever
and left by all the colored folk to die
alone in "A shed. Kennedy found him
there in the evening, as he was going
to a saloon to get a drink. He aban
dOned that plan and set to work in
stead to nurse the negro. He went
for three doctors. but one after an
other refused to come, telling him to
get out of here" and not waste their
time with his drunken jokes.
SO he stayed all night alone with
the sick man from whom others had
fled and nursed him as tenderly as a
woman. With the money he had
meant to spend on getting drunk. he
bought a small bottle of champagne
for his patient-for champa gne is one
of the best remedies in cases of yell
low fever. And not a drop of that
champagne did Kennedy allow to pass
his own lips. The drunken deadbeat
had some will power left after all.
Next morning the health department
the police, the ambulance corps and
the hospital doctors all fiocked to the
little shed. for the negroes had spread
the news that a man was sick there
with the fever.
They found Kennedy still tending
his patient. although the grim clutch
of the fever had fastened upon him
also. The doctors of the hospital
worked their hardest to save his life.
But they knew their efforts were hope

fine constitution" said the medical
superintendent. but Kennedy is
doomed by the way he has lived. 1t
is no use pouring champagne into him
to keep his strength up. He is so sod
den with drink that it has little or no
effect"
Before he died Kennedy asked to
see the best friend who remained to
him in respectable society. To this
man he confided the story of his life
and downfall, of his successes and his

Dick and the WreckerS
A Story of the New England Coast.

n Story OIL Jnc New England Coast.
By the looks of the sky Dick Leon
ard knew that a storm was blowing
up and felt especially lonely as he
put out the lamp and jumped into bed
in the farmhouse near the shore.
His parents had gone to the nearest
village, six miles away, and would not
be home until morning But Dick was
healthy boy with a great capacity
for sound sleep. The many voices
of the rising wind and the increasing
thunder of the waves upon the beach
only lulled him to slumber the sooner.
He had been asleep for some hours
when he was awakened by a noise in
the barn near by. Surely some one
was there trying to steal Dobbin, the
old white horse. Slipping on his
clothes the boy crept steahhily out of
the back door and hiding in the
shadow of the we'll curb saw two men
coming out of the stable.
One bore a lighted lantern and one
led old Dobbin by the halter. Dicks
first impulse was to ask them what
they were doing there, but by the
light of the lantern he recognized the
men as Sam Hackett and Tom Wills.

thieves, who sometimes visited that
section of the shore in their boat of
evil repute, and the rumor of whose
presence caused the people to take
the usual precaution of locking
their barns and houses at night.
