hole, both at the end and at the side,
with sealing wax, leaving only small
round hole at the point farthest from
the end, as shown in Fig. B.
Now all you have to do is to fasten
fine cord with sealing wax to the
edge of the bowl, at the precise point
that comes nearest to the smokers
mouth. Tie the other end Of the cord
to the chandelier or other convenient
object, and POUR water gently into the
bowl.
A fine Jet of water will shoot out
sidewise from the little hole in the
stem and the pipe will begin turning
in the direction indicated by the ar.
row. l twill keep on turning as long
as there is any water in the bowl,
and, indeed, a good deal longer, by
the effect of the momentum.
What makes it turn is this: At any
point of the pipe except near the little
hole the water presses with equal
force In every direction on the pipe.
At the point of the stem opposite the
little hole there is a certain pressure
on the pipe from the inside, and this
pressure Is not balanced, because ON
the opposite side-thGt is, the hole
there Is nothing for the water to press
against except itself. Hence the water
is driven out in one direction and the
pipe is spun around in the other.

Hunted by Biz Moose.

Just because they were too con-
scientious to shoot without a license
two American sportsmen allowed a
couple of big bulls to make life a
strenuous affair for them, near st.
Andrews, recently.
While hunting small game near
Barber Dam, two big bull moose came
crashing through the woods and
promptly charged the hunters. One
of the men climbed a convenient tree
and the other hiked for the railway
track with a vicious moose In his
wake, but the monarch of the forest
was frightened away by train which
came along just at that time and Its
mate raised the siege Of the man up
the tree and departed, giving the

Best for Soap Bubbles.

The best solution yet made for

follows: Fill a quart bottle half full
OF distilled or soft water, and sift
into 1t four-fifths of an ounce of Cas-
tile soap powder. Allow the powder to
thoroughly dissolve, then add one.
third of a pint of pure glycerin. In
making the solution be sure to keen
the bottle in temperature of 20 de.
grees or more; also, when blowing
bubbles, carefully see to 1t that the
room is at a temperature of SIS de-
grees or few degrees above. Having
the right temperature is one of the
greatest factors OF success In making
bubbles. After the solution is a day
or two old, or at any time when Il
fails to make good bubbles, freshen IL
up by adding more glycerin. With this
solution bubbles can be made which
will last from one to ten minutes.

Highwaymen Shoot Deputy
Sheriff of Nye Co.

Harry Mannon, deputy sheriff
of Nye county, is dying from
three bullet wounds, gained in
the discharge of his duty.
The shooting took place few
days ago in Beatty. Mannon,
who had been deputised for the
Bull Frog district by Sheriff Lo-
gan, got Oh the trailof two of the
highwaymen who held up the
five Italians in the Montezuma
wood camp short time ago.
Single handed he entered into
combat with them and did not
cease firing until he had one bull
let hole through his shoulder,
another between his ribs and a
third in the abdomen.
He fell with the smoking pistol
in his hand. Help arrived and
one of the two bandits was taken
into custody.
Sheriff Bradley of Esmeralda
county, in whose jurisdiction the
hold-up occurred, rode to the
scene of battle, accompanied by a
physician. Sheriff Logan of Nye
county was notified of the trag-
edv and will leave at once if his
presence is needed.
The captured highwayman is
held in custody and strong eff
fort will be made to prevent

LOCKING FOR PROPERTIES
c. L. WhittIe, Representing Large
Capital, Making Circuit Of
This County.
THE RUSTLE OF VIC. ROSE
INTERESTED THE CAPITALISTS

Two weeks ago geologist OF
note, representing a Boston and
New York syndicate of wealthy
mining men, arrived in Hamilton
prepared to do business on a
large scale. His syndicate stands
ready to develop any and all
properties that warrant develop
ment.
The credit of interesting this
body Of men in the mining indus
try of White Pine county is due
to W. (. Rose, a man who is per-
sonally acquainted with the re-
sources of this county, and who
possesses the energy and push
to make others see a good thing
as he sees it. After two weeks
thorough examination of the lead
properties of Hamilton and MAX
ing partial arrangements to take
up the bond on the Ne Plus Ultra
held by Mr.. Rose, Messrs. Whit
tie and Rose arrived in Ely last
Sunday. After transacting some
mining business in Robinson dis
trict, which we hope will bear
golden fruit in the near future,
the gentlemen left for Osceola
Wednesday,. EIom there they
will visit MuncY and Cherry
Creek and then return to Hamil-
ton, taking in the varions camps,
where conditions justify.
In short time some half a
dozen members of the syndicate
viii follow the route taken by
their representatives and arrange
for active operations to be com
menced on all properties pur-
chased.
These capitalists have repre-.
sentatives in the field near Hike,
in Lincoln county, and through
them many claims in that region
are being developed.
Every person rich in mines,
but poor in the necessary capital
to work them on proper scale,
should give Mr.. Whittle an OPP
portunity to make a personal in
spection of their property.
