THE HERALD man has been kept
busy today chasing down rumors
of a foot and wagon bridge over
the Rio Grande at Brownsville. |
There are at least a dozen different
stories in circulation regarding the
matter but none of them can be
confirmed al present. No one can
fail to appreciate the advantages to
be derived from the placing OF such
a bridge, but diligent inquiry fails
20 elicit any definite information.
THE HERALD will continue the
chase and will give its readers the
news as soon as il is news.
IL is estimated that in the neigh
borhood of se"enty-hve bales of
cotton have been marketed in
Brownsville this season so far. The
crop is yielding splendidly, and the
price paid is pc per pound in the
seed. One man who has four or five
acres in cotton has already market
ed four thousand pounds, and says
he has at least eight thousand
pounds more. A few soil weevil
are reported in some localities. but
these troublesome insects do not
oooear 10 have done much damage

buy water privilege, which entities
him to tie use OF all necessary
water at actual cost. This pre-
vents any speculation in the fur
nishing of water, and makes an
attractive proposition for actual
settlers.
The party Of Chicago prospec-
tors who have been here the past
few days thoroughly looking over
this section with a view TO locating,
left this morning for home. The
gentlemen are very much pleased
with the future of the country,
and will likely return permanently
2 little later. The gentlemen are
engaged in various lines of bust
ness in their home town and will
be likewise engaged should they
locate in this country. One of
the party, who has been a farmer
all his life, says the soil here is as
rich as the United States affords,
and should grow anything that
can be grown in a semi-tropical
climate.
A, letter from w. l.. Moore,
chief of United States weather
bureau to Alfred Thornham states
that arrangements have been prac-
tically perfected for telegraphing
notices of rapid rises in the Rio
Grande from FL Paso, Eagle Pass,
Laredo and Carlo. Messages will
be telegraphed to the collector of
customs at Brownsville, and will
be posted for the benefit of the
public as soon as received. This
will enable our people to be in a
measure prepared to guard against
overflow.

from Santa Maria this morning.
He was accompanied as far as

bound train, the lady for a month";

Dear Sir: There are several ways
of cheating in milk. An old-fash-
toned way is to water it. Nobody
waters it now. A better way is
to take out the cream-rich milk

poor milk with its cream all in.
But we needn't 90 into particu-

You don't rob your milk and
your customers.
Paint is as easy as milk to cheat
with. Good paint is as rare as good
milk; for human nature is much
the same in milkmen and paint
men.
You are just and true with your
milk; so are we with our paint.

The answer to this question is con- tained in the simple fact that the earth the moon, and all of the other bodies surrounding our sun are slowly cool ing off. But it is well known that the larger a body Is the more slowly it cooIs. and thus Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, each of which is far larger than the earth. are still very hot, so hot indeed that they are not solid worlds at all but are in a vaporized condition. There can be no doubt that ages ago the moon was in this condition also, but that this com paratively small body surrounded by the intense cold of outer space lost in heat very rapidly. As 1t cooled off it shrank together, until finally there came a time when d thin solid crust formed about the molten interior. It Is probable that this first crust was broken up and reformed many times so cool that permanent crust could exist. But even when this permanent crust had formed the cooling and shrinking by no means stopped, only now the imprisoned gases under the enormous pressure could only escape to the surface through Assures and holes It was about these outlets that the craters formed.
 It is believed that this process that eruption did not go on steadily but only intermittently After a general erup- tion the pressure on the interior would have time to greatly sthicken before the pressure from its shrinking again be- came sufficient to cause the imprisoned gases to break through. Thus each successive general eruption was accom- plished with greater and greater diff ficulty and severity. The last eruption was so violent that 1t not only formed the large crater Tycho, but actually

 Above Aquila are found two faint groups, Sagitta, the Arrow, and Delphi nus. the latter containing two beautiful doubles at I and M, respectively, while above these there stretches out the large. rather bright group called Cyg- nus, or the Swan.

The midsummer sky is far less stellations have all long since sunk from view in the west; only the mod erately bright little group of Leo. or the Sickle, is now visible in the early evening and by August even this will have disappeared. The milky way is now we'll up in the east, and stretch ing along this is the series of autumn consultations, each of which, though rather faint. is very beautiful.
 It is always a little difficult for a be- ginner to trace out in the sky the var fous consultations which he finds on a star map Perhaps the best method is to locate this broad band of the autumn stars which lies along the milky way and then add. one, after another, the groups lying east of these by noticing their position with refer ence to the stars of this band which have just been learned When the ob- server nas gotten twcll started in this way 1t will take him but very few hours to learn all of the principal groups of sky which are visible at this time of the year.

 If. during the third week of the month when the moon is full. the oh- server will examine 1t again, the va
 rious seas will be much more con spicuous than before, but the surface will not appear to be nearly so rough. This is because the sun is now shining vertically down into the craters and valleys so that the elevations throw no shadows and therefore do not appear to stand out we'll The craters in fact now look like little silvery patches on the moons surface and the borders of the seas merely like lines between the light and dark areas, Near the lower edge of the moon an unusually large and bright crater will be noticed. This is the crater Tycho, and stretching out from it there may be seen number of curious radiattng lines. some of
