Oil Burning District.

The oil-burning engine district on
the Santa Fe has been extended from
Seligman to Winslow, Arizona, a dis
lance Of l43 miles. Coal burners are
not used any more In California or
Western Arizona. Instead Of storing
oil In steel tanks at division points,
the Santa Fe has built circular pits
in the ground, banked up high, with
a depth Of about 20 feet and rooted
over. The oil thus stored is pumped
into small delivery tanks and there
run into the engines by gravity.
The largest of these pits are at
Seligman and Flagstaff-one for each
place, each holding $4,000 barrels. AT
Ash Fork there are two pits, each
holding $4,000 barrels; at Williams
one and at Winslow one, each holding
2 5000 barrels. There is little loss by
leakage. The earthpits cost less than
steel tanks and hold more oil. The
fire hazard is greatly reduced.

It would appear from the report for

for Scotland that drunkenness In that
country Is yielding before the super
Tor attractions of burglary. From 1902
to 1908 the commitments for trifing
delinouencies fell from $500 to a.
o56, Whereas those for serious offenses
rose from 10601 to 11.120. Certain
presumptuous persons have hazarded
the theory that the high proportion Of
offenders which. in the northern king
dom. declined to avail itself of the
"option" had relation to natural char
acteristics, if it was not, indeed, due
to the fact that the Scotchman, much
as he dislilzed going to prison, dis
liked parting with his money more,

A CHEAP WAY TO TRAVEL,

There are three ways to travel. One
Is to range abroad over the earth, and
to observe the work and the play OF
various peoples; another way Is to
read; third is to go to some place
where many examples of work and
play are gathered together. The first
way is the best; the second way is
the cheapest; the third is happy me-
dunn between the two. and especially
appeals to those of us who do not
have large bank accounts. That is
the reason we go to worlds fairs, and
Is a good reason for going to st Louis
this summer. One sees there the
whole world in a little space. Ger
tainly the opportunity to see so many
stately buildings, SO much fine orna-
mentation both OF grounds and struc-
lures, comes not too often. And when
you add to this the pleasure of ming
ling with hundred thousand Of your
fellow men. and observing the dress
and manners Of people from MISSISSIPPI
pi and Massachusetts and California
and North Dakota, to say nothing of
the exotics which blossom abundantly
In many parts OF the grounds, you
have very many very good reasons
for going to st Louis and putting in
several sightseeing days there.-Wo-

REMARKABLE RAT POUND.
Located in Raris Where Rodents Are
Utilized for Removing Flesh
from Dead Animals.

Among the sights not the least inter-
esting in the city of Paris is q regular rat
pound, where the services of the rodents
are utilized for removing the flesh from
the carcasses of dead animals. A horse
thrown in over nights quite stripped by
morning, and it is the regular work of
men In charge to remove the beautifully
polished bones. Naturally the rats thus
pampered increase at an amazing rate,
and invade the neighboring Strengthening
houses. So it becomes necessary at reg
ular intervals to have battue.
All around the heavy stone walls of
the pound are bored thousands of holes
half the length Of rats body. Early in
the morning while the rats are still at
work on the skeletons enjoying their
meal men with lanterns jump suddenly
IN, making great noise and clatter.
The frightened rats rush to the nearest
refuge, and the walls are soon orna-
mented with forest of whisking tails.
The rat collector then seizes each rat by
the tail and deposits it in bag which he
carries over his shoulder. The skins are
largely used for making gloves.

"You must

You're in this gentleman's seat"
This interchange was carried on at a
vaudeville theater between an usher and
woman who had bought ticket to see
the show, according to the New York
Sun. The seat the womans check drew
was badly broken.
TAKE my check, then, and get me an
other seat" she demanded.
The usher became irritated and said
that he could not do it. The woman left
the theater indignant.
Soon afterward man was ushered
down the aisle and shown into the seat
the woman had refused to occupy. 1t
was not long before he got up, impa-
tiently confding to the man beside him:

The ethics of selling ticket for a
broken seat rose in the minds of those
who sat near. AS far as the management
was concerned the broken seat had done
better for the box Office than the good
seats, for within short time it had sold
two tickets, while the good seats had

he can lift a trout completely out of

ALMOND GRATED ON OAK.

A story of unusual grating in
vegetable life lis vouched for by At
torney John J. Wells and III. Q.
Swain at Redding, Cal. They say
that on the farm of Julius Jensen on
Dibble creek, an almond has been
grated upon live oak and pear
onto a mulberry. Mr. Jensen has
been on the place only for few years
and knows nothing of the past history
Of the farm. In the yard stands a
magnificent almond OF the hard shell
variety, which produces every year
good crop of large almonds.
The tree forks at the ground. A
foot and half above the ground,
where one of the branches is twelve
inches In diameter and the other half
as large. each branch suddenly en-
Iarges and becomes four inches great
er in diameter This spring, to the
complete surprise Of Mr. Jensen, he
discovered an oak shoot putting
forth from just below the enlarge
ment on one of the branches. Ex-
animation then showed that up to
the point where the enlargement APP
pears the tree is live oak. Who did
the strange grating, or when, is un-
known. But the fact is plain that
OH each branch m almond has been
successfully grated onto live oak
stump.
In tho same yard, and distant only
fifty feet, stands pear tree. About
Ave feet above the ground the pear
wood commences; below that Is null
berry. Clearly this is case OF a
pear being grated upon n mulberry.
This tree produces excellent Bartlett
pears.-Sacramento Bee.
