SKILLED LABOR NOT NEEDED
Welding Broken Shaft May Be Done
by Inexperienced Hands e
Thermite Succeeds.

Welding q broken shaft, or even the
ends of rails on trolley lines. Is consid-
cred Of sufficient Importance to require
experts at the head of the work, but II
the new welding material. thermite,
fulf1lls all that is promised, unskilled
workmen may be doing this work in
the near future. The thermite rail-
Welding process has already been ac-
cepted abroad. and 10000 joints have
been united by this system in 40 Euro
pean cities. The rail ends must be
cleaned from dust and rust by wire
brush, and then slightly warmed. A
mold is then fitted around the ends and
the thermite is heated in crucible di-
rectly above the entrance to the mold,
into which it flows as soon as the tenn
perature rises to the melting point. The
welding is done automatically by the
thermite itself, and thus the supervis-
ion Of an expert welder is not required.
In Welding heavy shaft the mold is
built up around it and the heat applied
to the crucible as before, process
which might save valuable time on board
ships.

WHY WE WALK IN CIRCLES.
Reason for Leaving Straight Course
When Lost Explained by
a Biologist.

Men lost in fog or in forest or
in desert walk in circles because one
leg is longer than the other" said
biologist. "If you take a number of
men and measure them you will find
them to be uneven. Not more than
seven OF eight per cent. will have legs
of equal length About 80 per cent.
will have the left leg longer than the
right and 60 per cent will have the
right leg longer than the left. He
whose left leg is the longer will, on
getting lost, make circle to the left.
A longer right leg causes right cir
Gle. In walking, you see. we make
v's. Each leg moves forward and out
ward. The leg that is longer neces.
sarily makes the longer step, and this
longer step necessarily goes further
outward than the other. Hence when
we are lost we circle to the left or
right, according TO the legs insquaI-
Ity."

the excellent work done by the
schools Of our county.

The interest manifested by
them showed that they enjoyed

say that the Philomath public

prepare some excellent work for
the Lewis and Clark Fair. Sever
al features of their exhibit will

James Parker-out of the city. The ceremony is a very interesting one to , members of the Masonic order
 DEATH OF COL. DYE-Yesterday ; in this city occurred the death of Col. Amos Dye, a prominent citizen of Gin cinnati, who has spent the past three winters in this city. His fatal illness came on him about two weeks ago, a rheumatic spell, although for several years he has suffered from erysipelas in the head Only the pas three days has he been dangerously i'll, so his death will come as a great surprise 10 the many friends he has made since coming to Arizona. It was his plan to spend each winter in Phoenix and with this in view about a month ago he purchased the Rumney home on Grand avenue. He leaves a wife and two children. The funeral announcement has not yet been made.
 HE BUILT THE HOUSES-In The Republicans description of the fair grounds a week ago, in which an eff fort was made to give credit for all the large undertakings in connection with the fair, there was one thing overlooked that deserved particular mention. That was the credit that should have been given tn II. R. Crosby, who had the contract for the building of the grand stand and the horse barns. In the be- ginning it was feared by some that he would be unable to finish his contract in time, but he did, and further he would have been ready in time even if the fair had been held on the original dates. In respect of the work done no comment is necessary. It has been seen and approved already by thous
 ands of Arizona people.
 SALES OF LIVE STOCK-J. H. Slaughter, formerly sheriff of Cochise county and now one of the leading stockmen of that county, yesterday bought twenty head of Galloway bulls of D. T. Mcqueen, owner of the Gal loway herd near Mesa City. He also bought twelve shorthorn bulls of O. H. Christy, who resides west of Phoenix. These cattle are for MT. Slaughter's ranges and the point made is that needing cattle if Mr. Slaughter had not come to the fair he would probably have bought these bulls in Kansas, as he has done in previous years and as so many Arizona cattle men have done MT. Slaughter sa.-s that beside the anil mals being equally as good as any thing he could get in the east, they are acclimated to Arizona, which is a big point, for the imported stock requires at least a year to adjust it. self to Arizona range conditions. In addition to this purchase of bulls MT. Slaughter also bought three standard bred horses at the auction sale of J. c. Adams. All this stock brought good prices. or as compared to ordinary stock what might be called fancy prices. The ranges of Arizona require thousands of head of good bulls to keep the range cattle well graded and there is no reason why all these bulls should not be raised in the valley ranches of the territory.

SOME OF THE VICTIMS
 MADE THEIR ESCAPE
From the Ceremonials of the Knights
 Of Khorassa1.

Last evening at their hall in this city the Dramatic Oroer Knights of Khorassan held a ceremonial session and initiated into the mysteries of the order a class of fourteen. It was the original plan to make the meeting a very large one and applications of many others bes ides those taking the work had been passed on. Many of the applicants, however, were forced to leave for their homes in different parts of the territory on account of misunderstanding regarding train con- nections.
 There were present at the session last evening many of the members from Mesa City, Following the initia- tion a banquet was served and an hours social conversation enjoyed. Those who were admitted to member ship last evening were Roy J. Park Samuel McCurdy, l. L. Fenner, Jas. Anderson, P. J. Bowen, T. H. Brown, Anson H. Smith, Martin Buggeln, O. c. Barker, Wm. J. Graham, Jacob Hunt, Wni. R. Porter, Thos. GoodwelI, and Wm. Stevens.

THEY PUBLISHED HIS PICTURE.

During the encampment of the Kan sas state militia in conjunction with the regulars at Fort Riley, Kan, sev- eral years ago a number of photo graphs were taken to illustrate a mag azine story. After the return of the "brave tin soldiers as the militiamen were styled by their friends, one of them informed his parents that his picture would appear in a forthcoming number of a certain magazine. When the magazine appeared he took one to the incredulous parents and opened it, disclosing a picture of the militia en- campment at Fort Riley.
 'Where is your picture ?" they asked.
 'You see that first row of soldiers %
 "Yes" f
 And behind them is a row sitting"
 ''Yes. Where are you?"
 "Back of them all is row of tents. I'm in one of them nts."-Kansas City Times.

He pulled Dooley out of bed, got him to hurry on his clothes. brought him in about half awake. and stood him before the trip lets. Aren't they dandies?" he asked. Dooley gazed at them in a semi-awak- ened state and, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, replied: ''Yes; they're all right. I think if I were you would keep that one in the middle.'- Punch.

MOON AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH.

The superstition in agricultural communities that the phases of the moon affect the germination and growth of seed has a parallel in a queer belief that the moon also infiu- ences the growth of hair on the head. Here is an old. recipe. The bald head ed should take two ounces of Boar's grease, one dram of the Ashes of Burnt Bees, one dram of the ashes of Southern wood, one dram of the juice of a white Lily Root, one dram of oil of Sweet Almonds. ana six drams of pure musk; make an ointment of these and the day before the full moon shave the place and anoint 1t every day."
