pincheG without warning. Ordinarily
he is not a high jumper, but he
jumped and jumped high yesterday,
according to Superintendent Ham

are that Engineer Reed and Super

Hammond went out to the proposed
site of the Hondo Reservoir to in
spect same. when Engineer Reed
came in contact with a huge rattle
snake. He vas walking along in the
UP with thinking about the "cetain-
ty of the Hondo" and when he look
ed down he saw a huge ~rattlesnake
at his feet ready to spring upon him.
Just as he looked down involuntari-
ly he went uD-intO the air about
ten feet and landed at a safe dis
lance from the "caus of the jump"
After a few moments of de%liberation
he was not daunted by the shock,
and procured several sticks and he
bravely approached the reptile and
captured him alive and brought him
to the city.

The Lakes Have a Bottom.

Mr.. Edw. Pierron, better known in
Roswell as Arkansas" yesterday
succeeded in sounding the bottom of
what has heretofore been known as
the bottomless lakes at the great
depth of 925 feet. These lakes are
regarded as the greatest curios-
tiles in New Mexico. Local and gov
eminent engineers have tried time
and again with especially prepared
devices to sound the bottom of these
lakes, but have never succeeded.
Mr.. Pierron is entirely satisfied with
the truthfulness of his statement
and confirms it with much sincerity.
The error that the lakes are bottom
less has now been corrected. but
undoubtedly they will always be
known as the bottomless lakes.
Note:-The above is a communica-
ton handed in to the office. The
statement that the lakes have never
been sounded is an error. as a com
plete report of their size, depth and
probably Origing is to be found in
the reports of the U. S. Geological
Survey.

ourselves that certain unchallenged doings
of today forcibly suggest those terms. So
we save our face with an indulgent gayety
not devoid Of humor. We give a twist

Women Clerks in Germany.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
Women have become an indispensable
factor in the German postal telegraph and
telephone service. 1t seems. in spite Of the
conservatism which prevented the utiliza.
ton of feminine activities in public work
in Germany until nearly a half century
later than in France and England. United
States Consul Monaghan of Chemnitz In his
recent communication to the United States
Department of Commerce and Labor re-
views briefly the conditions and requires
ments which are of interest as showing the
progress of women in the fatherland II
is not every woman who can obtain o posi-
ton in the German postal service, so strict
are the government regulations respecting
age. character. education and health A
government medical examiner pronounces
upon the health. which must be perfect:
the age must not exceed thirty or be under
eighteen: and a good common school edu-
scation is a primary requisite. Possessing
all these qualifications. the woman candi-
date Is eligible only to position as as
sistant in a post Office and the highest sal.
airy she can hope for is s119 year. In the
telegraph and in the telephone service, how
ever. all grades of positions are open to
women, though the rules of admission are
equally strict and no women with chill
dren are employed. -Four thousand women
are now engaged in the telephone service
of the German empire. 1t is stated. one
Thousand of them being In Berlin. The
hours are light, ranging from six to eight
a day. The highest pay which a woman
can draw in German telephone offices is
1857. which is said to afford comfortable
living in Germany. but is a low wage COM
pared to that to be obtained in England,
where experienced women telephone clerks
get $500 and chief supervisors are paid as
high as $3.50. In Germany, however. It
must be noted that women on their with
drawaI from active labor after the pre-
scribed number of years of faithful work
are awarded a government pension on the
same plane with the men.
