merous versions of the last Port Ar.
thur affair confirms the opinion found
ed upon earlier rumors that Admiral
Togo made daring attempt to bottle

Result Of Experiment. Made In Dipping
OF Cattle With Crude Oil. S:a
Crude oil dipping Of cattle affected
with scabbies effectively eradicates
the disease. This conclusion has just
been reached after dipping 5000 cat
tie at Mondak, Ii Mont The animals
went right to eating as soon as they
were let out of the tank and showed
no bad effects. So .5
Some time ago George Stevens, a
wealthy Montana cattle man, con-
ceived the idea of dipping in crude
oil instead of lime and sulphur which
has been the only known remedy for
scabbies. Mr.. Stevens had a tank con-
structed at Mondak and sent to Texas
for oil. When all was ready, DR.. r. A.
Ramsey Of the United States bureau
Of animal industry, was invited to per-
sonally conduct the experiments.
DR.. Ramsey returned from Mondak
this morning. He said that the ex-
periments had been a success in every
way. Montana cattlemen "a are very
much pleased over the result Of the
tests. Dipping in crude oil win mean
q big saving Of time and money for
them to prepare their stock for
market. ...

Iron Making In Early History

AEOA mAAAu8 IA 0S9xAy A1ovOxys -,
Iron was used before history was
written. The stone records Of Egypt
and the brick books Of Nineveh men
ton it. Genesis Ok, ~ refers to Tu-
balcain as ''as Instructor OF every ar
tifcer. in brass and IRON" and in Deu-
teronomy (iii, ~ the bedstead Of the
giant Og was "a bedstead Of iron"
The galleys Of Tyre and Sidon traded
in this metal. Chinese records ascrib-
cd to 1900 B. G. refer to it. Horace
speaks Of it as superior to bronze. The
bronze age came before the iron age
because copper, found as a nearly pure
metal, easily fuses, and with another
soft metal-tin or zinc alloys into
hard bronze, while iron, found only as
an ore, must have the impurities burn
ed and hammered out by great heat
and force before it can be made into a
tool. .s.s .5s. '4=;

Dub1ime Courage By which Princess
Salome Escaped Her Master. Il .ES
James Baker, well known traveller:
and writer, tells a curious story OF
war 100 years ago. Ihe Persian shah
was besieging Tiflis, and the husband
or the Princess Salome had been slsia
IN the siege. When the Persians en-.
tered and sacked the town Salome
Tried to save her young son, but he was
torn from her arms and hacked in
pieces before her eyes. Her own life
was spared and she was borne to the
camp outside the walls of Tifiis to the
shah. He sold her to Djafar. Bek, who
shut her up in castle part OF which
still remains-near where now IL the
lovely tropical botanical garden OF
1d1is. Charmed BY her beauty, he ask
cd her to become his wife. She re-
fused and begged her purchaser to-
slay her. The Persian gave her q night
to reconsider the matter and on the
next day he lay reclining on a great
cushion under a tree on that hot, sun
ny hillside and awaited her answer.
Presently she appeared before him.
vsdled in long, pure white robe, calm
and stately, her face deathly pale. She
advanced, her armed jailers following
her. The Persian waved his followers
aside and asked the princess, "You con-
SAINT to be my wifeT' "Yes," was the
solemn answer. II consent to love
you, for after the death Of my husband
and son it is my destiny; there is no
ether fate for me. a.....ss'
I'm Georgia." said the princess,
there are certain families that possess
strange powers and dark secrets. My
mother foretold should be the wife Of
q Djafar, and from my. mother !, too,
receive these powers to read the fu-
ture." The Persian was impressed by
her manner and her presence. She saw
her power. "Give me your hand" she
said. Let me read there If I shall
have long years Of happiness with
you" He held forth his hand. She
held it until it slightly trembled in her
fingers. Then she burst forth with q
cry Of horror, "Oh, my master, know
est thou that death awaits thee, per-
chance this very night?' Dpjafar Bek
hembled now. Thou wilt die by the
hand Of man thou hast this day Of
Tended" lis it by Assa Dhoulla Bel? p
he asked. 1--WE quarreled today, and
shout you. He would have bought
you" "Oh, my MASTER" exclaimed
Salome, Ito save thee I must have
some object upon which he has looked
today, then I can avert this evil and
make his arms useless against thee"
''Whatl You can do this?" exclaimed
Djafar incredulously. 'tMost certainly.
Give me your dagger" He drew it and
handed it to her. She held it up and,
looking up to the blue heavens above,
murmured prayer; then, handing it
back to him said: "Now it is useless.
It can slay no one." He looked at her
unbelievingly. ''Try it, she exclaim-
ed. "Strike herew He struck the blow
where her finger rested full upon her
heart. The keen blade went swiftly
home, and she fell at his feet, exclaim-
