STEAMSHIP COMPANY LOSES.
Test for Damages on Account Of Loss
Of Vessel. -


Of Vessel.
Washington, Nov. S.-Chief Justice
Fuller, in the United States supreme
court. announced that the court had
refused a writ Of certiorari in the case
of the Pacific Mail Steamship com.
pany VS.. Sarah Guyon. The case in
volyed the question Of dana ~es on &C
count Of the wreck Of thu ssenger
steamer City of Rio &c Jana. ., which
sank off the Golden Gate at San Fran
cisco in 1901, carrying down 120 per.
sons, including Consul General Wild
man. The case was test one and it
was charged that although twenty
minutes time elapsed after the signal
to lower boats before the. catastrophe
occurred only one boat was foated.
This the steamship company claimed
was due to the fact that, as many
members of the crew were Chinese,
they could not understand the orders
given them, but the court refused to
limit liability on this account The
purpose of the petition for q writ Of
certiorari was to bring the case to the
supreme court for review and the de-
NAL has the effect of making final the
decision OF the circuit court of appeals
for the Ninth circuit, which was favor
able to. the passengers.

While there are no black races in

Of an African origin, having crossed
over into Europe during the neolithic
age. Their habits, character of. food,
environments, attitude of their homes,
climate, occupation, their greater dis

tors which are believed to have bleach
ed their skins and made them white.

THE ROBIN.
He II an Adaptive Bird, but HI
Doesn't Mix Mortar.

He II an Adaptive Bird, but He
Doesn't Mix Mortar.
The robin is very adaptive bird GER
tainly. It adjusts itself readily to new
conditions, but it falls far short Of the
Intelligence that 10 often ascribed to it.
Thus there are persons who seem to
believe that when mud is scarce the
robin will bring water in its beak to
the dust Of the road and so make the
mortar that it needs. This notion is, of
course, absurd. How could the robin
know that water and dust will make
mud? This knowledge is the, result of
reflection and experiment and is not
within the reach of an animal. More
than that, If the robin could find the
somewhere. have known them to use
substitute for mud furnished by the
cows.
Another equally absurd claim for the
robin comes from correspondent. A
robin had her nest in a tree under his
chamber window in such a position
that he could see all that happened in
the nest. He says that when the young
robins were nearly grown he saw the
mother bird take them, one by one, by
the nape Of the neck and hold them out
over the rim of the nest to teach them
to use their wings! suppose ''our
modern school of nature study" would
accept this statement without question.
1t is such preposterous natural history
as this that furnishes the stock in trade
Of this school" Some persons deceive
themselves in what they think they
see, and not a few, am convinced, are
deliberate falsifiers.-John Burroughs

New Heating Plant.

The new heating plant of the high
school has been put in commission
and gives complete satisfaction. The
steam is furnished from the main
heating plant in the new school build
ing being conducted to the. high school
by means of pipes. In the basement
of the high school building are ser
les of coils of pipe, five in number,
through which the air is forced by
means of blower, and is heated in
the process of passing through these
coils of steam pipe and is then forced
into the various rooms of the build
Ing.
One separate pipe is used to let the
steam into each of these coils of pipe
and by means of valve on these feed
pipes the heat can be shut off any
number of them. With the steam let
into all of them at once, the air is op
presslvely warm in the building, one
of the coils being found all that is
necessary to heat the building on the
coolest mornings that have been ex
perienced thus far for this season.
The assembly hall of the building,
which is the largest in the building
can be heated in fifteen minutes,
showing the perfect working of the
system.
While with this heating plant the
fuel bill of the district will be slight |
~ increased, a uniform heat is obtain
ed in addition to a more perfect venti
lation, as fresh air is constantly being
forced into the various rooms.
It is stated that the entire atmos
phere of the room is changed every
seven minutes so that colds should be
less frequent among the pupils and
with pure fresh air they are capable
Of doing better work.

POlygamy Cases in Arizona.

Tombstone, Dec. OFF information
that has come from the federal grand
jury room proves true the jury will
return indictments that will cause a
sensation all over the territory. 1t is
stated that the federal jury has under
taken to emulate the work of the
senate committee on privileges and
elections which is investigating the
Senator Smoot case, but instead of
having only one man to look after the
federal jury has taken up many cases.
The report is that one Indictment
will be returned tomorrow and others
will follow in rapid succession. The
first indictment will charge adultery.
The federal jury has summoned and
examined many witnesses from around
st. David and from Graham county,
both strong Mormon districts and it
is said their investigation will rival
on a small scale the famous Smoot
case. 1t is said there will be numer-
Gus indictments for bigamy and adul-
terry. The jury is making a full in.
vestigation but is keeping remarkably
quiet about what they are doing and
not until final action is taken will the
full extent of their inquiry be known.
