TENNESSEE TOWNS NAMES
The Good Book Was Kept in Mind
When They Were Given
Out.

When it came to naming her towns,
Tennessee did not forget the Good
Book, says the Indianapolis Star. She
put an Ark in Meigs county, Noah in
Coffee, a Genesis in Cumberland, a st.
John and st. Luke in Jackson, a Joshua
here, and Caleb there, here an Elijah
and there a Samuel, Ruth and Naomi
were not forgotten, and two Ebenezers
were raised up, one In Knox and one in
Humphreys county.
But Tennessee did not lay too much
stress on Scriptural names. On the
other hand, looking at the map, one
may readily ascertain that in the
naming of her towns Tennessee played
no favorites. From mythology she
obtained Juno Venus, Vulcan, Bac-
chus, Diana, Hercules, Neptune,
Olympus and Delphi from Shake
speare, Romeo and Othello; from the
Greek alphabet, Alpha, Beta and
Omega; from the church, Methodist,
Baptist, Priest, Pope, Friar and Tab
ernacle; from the family hearth,
Many, Bud, Aunt, Home and Family;
from the poets, Dante, Milton and
Homer.

BURNNG TELEPHONE LINES
When Ready to Put Underground
the Wires Resemble a
Lead Pipe.

Few people know just what is done
when a telephone company buries its
lines. To begin with, the wires them
selves must be combined in cables, the
making of which involves many intri-
cate and expensive processes. The
finished cable looks like lead pipe.
and. indeed, that is exactly what it is
But while most pipes are made FOL
the conveyance Of liquids, this one
must be so tight and thoroughly sealed
that not trace Of moisture can work
its way into it. The pipe Is filled with
hundreds of wires, each wrapped In
a covering OF paper, the dry air in the
folds of the wrappings and in the sub
stance of the paper itself affording the
most perfect insulation. During its
manufacture, while 1t is being trans
ported from place to place and drawn
into conduits under the streets, and
afterward, whenever 1t is necessary to
touch it for purposes of making con-
nections or repairs, the cable must be
handled as carefully as II It's sheath
were made of glass, for hole the size
of a pin in the lead covering means
the ruin of a whole section.

Impoverished Soil

impoverished soil, like impov-
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. 1t may be you
need a tonic, but more likely you
need q concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.

MANKIND HAS COLD BLOOD.
Comparative Low Temperature Is to
Blame for Most Human
Ailments.

Man Is the coolest blooded animal
there is, and guess the people who profit
| by it most at this time of the year are
the saloon-keepers, the furriers, the
drug stores and-we doctors" remarked
DR.. E. ]. Neville, Of Albany, who came
here to attend a meeting Of the New
York State Medical association. The
Doctor says the New York Globe, who
was sitting in the hall of the Victoria,
was led to make the above remark
through the appearance Of a man pass
ing garbed in a heavy black bearskin
overcoat.
Mans low temperature" the doctor
went on, ''is responsible for more than
half his ailments. Your normal tenn
perature is 9S1a degrees Fahrenheit 1t
is only when you have bad tempera-
ture that you get as warm as any of the
lower animals. That Is to say, when
you are in high fever with tempera-
ture of 102 you are at the normal heat
Of the cat, the dog, the OK, the rat and
so on. In the coolest of seas the por-
poise is never cooler than 100 degrees.
The bat, the rabbit, the guinea pig, the
hare and the elephant likewise are all
cool at 100 degrees.
THE hen has the highest temperature
Of all the lower creatures, and 1t is a
good deal warmer, too, when a chicken.
Its temperature then is as high as Ill,
but age and experience cool her blood by
three degrees"

SMART MEETS SMARTER.
Thought he Knew How to Keep an
Umbrella, But It Got
Away.

Into the Jersey City station Of the
Pennsylvania railroad sauntered a
portly man. He wore a chesty look
and carried IN umbrella, relates the New
York Times. Advancing to one Of the
benches, he pulled chain and paddock
from his pocket, ran one end Of the
chain through the open handle, and
made the umbrella fast to the seat. Then
he said to a man sitting there:
I've Travelled all over this country
for five years, and l know a thing or
two"
Then he walked away.
The man VIC sat there got up. He
had q ckec.; suit and a smooth cheek.

WORLD OF A-DoL1AR-A-DAY.

Ten thousand a year is an income too small,
They say, to live well in circles effete,
The head of the house soon or late to the

Must go in his efforts to make both ends

For paltry ten thousands mere baga-
telie
If family's properly cared for, they say;
But we're living happy and getting on well
In the glorious world of A-Dollar-A-Day.
Three thousand is needed for gowning ones

For the son off at college two thousand
may do,
And since costly as sins phllandering life
A fathers hard pressed who's a daughter

And only ten thousand year at his beck.
l only repeat what hear people say,
For know nothing of 1t, and less do l reck,
In the glorious world of A-Dollar-A-Day.
In the world Of A-Dollar-A-Day where we
live
The neighbors are pleasant, and every

While no man or woman is too poor to give
Assistance to needy, the lame, halt or

We feel not the fashionable ennui. rs true.
We lead life lowly and grow not blase,
But bright days are many and drear days
are few,

VAST LOSS OF LIFE IN FIRE.
More Than Five Hundred Sacrificed
Each Month in Last Census
Year.

So remote do most of us regard the
life hazard of fire that the following
statistical excerpts and comparisons
will come as a surprise, says the Fire
proof Magazine. The calculations them
selves are based upon insurance year
books, vital statistics and the twelfth
federal census. They are taken from
the last general statistical period of IL
months covering life loss by this cause
throughout the entire country
During the last census year deaths re-
sulting from fire reached the unprece-
denied total Of 6672, or over 500 lives
sacrificed each and every month to the
destroying element. The proportion OF
life loss averages during the period
about evenly little under nine in 100,-
900, but showing an increase from 5.5
in 1890 to that of SS in 1890 in 100000
of population.
The figures for states and cities are
respectively: Illinois, 315; Chicago,
1876 of the total; Indiana, 179, Indianap-
lis IA Of the total; Iowa, 81 reported;
Michigan, 161, Detroit % of the total;
Minnesota, 100, Minneapolis IA Of the
total; st. Louis, 70; New Jersey, 1888;
New York state, SCI; Greater New York,
942; Ohio, 2S9; Cleveland, 80; Cincin-
natl, 20; Pennsylvania GAL; Scranton,
"a; Wilkesbarre, Is; Allegheny, 20;
Philadelphia, 142; Pittsburg, 40; Vir-
ginia, 271; Wisconsin, 1913; Milwaukee,
20.
One thousand more persons lost their
lives through fire than the whole num-
Der Of those drowned. The figures stand:
Burned, fire, etc., 6,772; drowned, 5,9S7.
Railroad accidents killed $3.50; fire,
6.772 Rheumatism claimed 5,067 vic
toms; fire, 6,772. Scarlet fever sacri-
feed, 6,333 lives; fire, 6,772. Smallpox,
of which we hear so much, and which
arouses the intensest administrative
agitation, satisfied its death claim with
1882; fire, 6,772.

The Queen Of the Harem.

Mrs. X. DAILY, who has served eight
years as medical officer to the Afghan
government and physician to the
queen of the country, says, concerning
life In the hGrem and the court, that
next to the ameer himself the chief
political factor In the country is the
royal wife of the late ameer, who is
known as the queen. She is about 40
years OF age, Of considerable beauty,
and particularly intelligent and we'll
informed. She is virtually prisoner
in her palace, which is regarded with
almost as much suspicion as the Brit
ish agency owing to her pronounced
British sympathies. The ameer's wives
and other royal women do not live
in the voluptuous and idle state usual
ly associated with harem.-Detroit

POINTS ABOUT CORPSE RING
Circlet Found on Finger of the Dead,
Especially Sailors, Used for
Identification.

Corpse rings, eh?" said the visitor.
'It's a curious, gruesome idea What
are corpse rings?"
Corpse rings" the collector answer
ed, according to the Louisville Courier
Journal, ARE rings found on the dead
bodies of drowned sailors-identifca-
ton rings.
Look at this thick gold one. Run
ming around 1t On the outside, you see,
there is carved in big, plain letters,
William Ratline, born in Camden, Me-,
1865. Home, Malabar.' Ratline was
lost off the Needles in the big storm
of 70. Malabar was communicated
with, but it appears that he had no
relatives there.
Nearly every sailor, when the blues
overtakes him, imagines he will die
of drowning. He hates to think OF his
body washing up on a strange shore,
OF his nameless grave and OF the anx-
iety of his friends when he doesn't re-
turn and no news comes Of him, and,
therefore, he buys himself an identif-
cation or corpse ring.
Some Of these rings are costly,
beautiful, strange. Here is an antique
Egyptian one-a ring of green bronze
from a rifled tomb. Here is a wooden
one, carved with little demons, for the
thumb; it came, think, from Sene-
gambia. This ring Of ivory is Japan
csc; it is Of beautiful workmanship;
the monkeys, holding each others
tails, that go around 1t in a circle, are
quite perfect.
81 value this collection Of corpse
rings, first, because believe no other
collection of the kind exists; second,
because the rings in themselves are all
Of great oddly and beauty; third, be-
cause with each ring there is connect
ed a story gruesome and tragic"

WHAT MAKES SKY BLUE?
Various Scientific Theories Are Ad-
vanced to Account for the
Phenomenon.

The sky has long been a puzzle to
physicists. There are two mysteries
to explain about tits reflection OF
light and its color, says the Success Mag
azine. The old view was that the blue
of the sky was due simply to atmos-
pheric oxygen. Oxygen has a faint
blue tint, and the idea was that several
miles of the gas, even when diluted, as
it is in the air, would have a bright
blue color. But this did not account
for the intense illumination of the sky,
and of recent years Tyndall's dust
theory" or some modification of it, has
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1905-03-02

been generally accepted. This regards
the blue color as an optical effect, like
the color of very thin smoke, due to
excessively fine particles floating in the
air, which would also account for the
large proportion of reflected light from
the sky. Recent calculations by Prof
Spring, of Liege, Belgium, however, in
dictate that the dust in the air Is not
sufficient in amount, nor finely enough
divided, to support this explanation, and
he rejects it for this and other rea-
sons. He has gone back to the old
oxygen theory, and accounts for the
general illumination OF the sky on the
hypothesis, first advanced by Hagen
BACH that intermingled layers of differ
ent density, in the atmosphere, give 1t
the power of rejecting light.

WEALTHY MEN OF COLORADO
The Centennial State Possesses Over
One Hundred Bona-Fide
Millionaires.

Colorado is the state of vast individual
fortunes, outranking any other state IN
the union on per capita basis 1t has
the further distinction that most Of its
vast fortunes were made within its
boundaries, not alone in mining, but
in the cattle industry, In realty spec
ulation, in fruit, sugar beet culture, po-
lato-farming and in manufacturing
and other mercantile pursuits.
Many people of wealth have moved
into the state in the last few years and
invested large sums In mining corpora
lions, in the stocks of banks and other
enterprises, and are not individually
known to the commercial agencies.
Still another class represents the re-
tired country capitalist, who has moved
from the section in which his wealth
was acquired to Denver Of Colorado
Springs. His individual holdings, too,
unless they are in realty, are necessarily
hidden from the regular commercial in
formation sources.
Who is the richest man In Colorado?
David Moffat, capitalist, Of Denver. The
most conservative estimate of s15,o00,-
900 was given by two persons who would
naturally be expected to exaggerate Mr..
Moffat's wealth. On the other hand,
from those nearest him, those who
ought to know and yet would not allow
an exaggerated estimate to be given
out, the estimate was between $25,OO0,-
and $30,000,000, giving him an easy lead
In the Colorado list.
There are 108 millionalres, and II to
these could be added the names Of those
who have left Colorado after making
fortunes, 1t could be easily doubled The
total wealth of the 10S millionaires OF
Colorado aggregates about $3.50, 0O0,0 900.
There is probably no section Of the world
with a population of less than 100000
that can show such home production OF
wealth.

Electricity for Heat.

The ease and surety with which a
furnace heated electrically Is con-
trolled is a point Of much Importance,
and is sufficient 10 warrant the great
er expense invclYed by the use of this
system. The tact that the furnace is
under perfect control conduces to
efficiency, and this brings the cost OF
energy nearer to that Of other sys-
tens. AS to the actual cost, taking it
all in all, there IS not such a great
disadvantage In the electric system
and one can easily imagine a case
where electricity and gas could be on
a par in this regard.

have to go out to earn her living in some
way. though how she did not know.
Life seemed horribly hopeless, and she
almost wished she lay dead beside the
old man whom she had loved as her IA

entered. He was tall and straight, with
a clean-cut, handsome face.

girl whom nobody seemed to want.

Mary looked up and gave little quick
sob of happiness.
"Oh, Dick, l believe the will has done
me some good after all, )" she cried.
The odd part of it was that the woman
who called herself Claudia Kaye was not
Claudia Kaye at all, and that Mr.. Kaye
had known it and had handed full proofs
of the death of his child % years before
to Mr.. Guest before he died. Then he
had said, If Capt Tenby was the fortune
hunter DR.. Grey said he was, it would
prove him and save Mary lot of unhap-
piness.
And 1t did, 1t was a dying mans
fancy and it was the wisest thing he
could have done.
What became of Claudia Kaye no one
knew. She had come intending to levy
blackmail upon Mr. Kaye. She had
reckoned without her host, for she did
not know that he held proofs of the
death of his own child. After Mr.. Guest
produced them she vanished, and Mary
