able to journey from one place to an
other.
DR.. Heating, son of an Irish gentle
man, Is suffering from paralysis and
his death is expected momentarily. He
went to the county hospital about three
weeks ago and after the physicians had
examined his case he disputed their
diagnosis and finally convinced them
that he was right in his statements.
When first confined to bed in the hos
pital ward the doctor, who is 67 years
old and graduate of the University OF
Dublin, was very impatient and often
expressed his hope that he would be
able again to continue his travels about
the world, but in the last few days he
has given up hope of ever leaving the
hospital, and it is believed by the
physicians that the sacrifice of this one
great desire in his life will hasten the
ultimate end
When seen yesterday he was listless
and Indifferent and the light in his eyes
burned dimly. Instead of speaking of
his travels and the different cities he
had visited with ever renewing in
terest he spoke of death and COM
planned of the little good which he con-
sidered he had done in his life.
He said that he regretted most that
he had not devoted his days to the prac-
tice of his profession and in the relief
of human suffering rather than to grat-
flying his own desires Of seeing the
world and those who live in it.
while travelling is a mania for me
I have at last realized that my wander
ing days are over, and while have seen
many strange lands and sights in my
day 1 have at last realized that my
nomadic life is over" said the aged
physician as he sank back in his little
cot. And with closed eyes he drew a
deep breath as if coaxing back the
wandering spirit which would rise in
spite of his self control and determina-
ton to be resigned to his fate.

EASTERN FIRM HAS CONTRACT
Elghty-Flve Thousand Acres of Arid
Lands Are to Be Reclaimed
by Government Within
the Next Year

One of the most difficult irrigation
undertakings Of the present day is the
proposition to transform $1,000 acres Of
the arid Yuma desert into fertile farm
ing land The United States reclama-
tion service has awarded the contract
for this work to ]. G.. White & Co, who
are now purchasing large quantities of
supplies and machinery in Los Angeles.
The project presents almost insur-
mountable difficulties in many ways.
The nearest town is Yuma, twelve miles
down the Colorado river. Suitable
drinking water is scarce and the sum-
mer temperature on the Yuma desert
ranges from 100 to 120 degrees. A
modern camp will be built and will be
controlled by special officers employed
by the contractors or by the govern

HORSE is ATTACKED
BY YELLOW JACKETS
Cannot Run Away, Is Stung and
Kicks the Wagon to
SpIInters


Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-When Mon
roe Hicks, an, employe of Louis Smith,
of Franklin avenue, Nutley, N. j., was
driving along Grant avenue he was sur
prised to see a swarm of yellow-j Jackets
come from a small wood and hover
around his horses head. Hicks tried
to drive the swarm off with his whip,
but being unsuccessful he started the
horse off on a gallop.
The wasps, however, were not to be
shaken off, and the faster the horse
Travelled the faster went the swarm.
Hicks, seeing that he could not run
away. brought the horse down to a
walk.
Then the yellow-jack realizing that
their chance had come settled down
around the horses neck and head.
While Hicks was wondering what to
do next the horse realized that some
thing was squirting him to action. He
gave an agonizing squeal and let his
heels fly at the wagon. Hicks and the
seat fell out beside the road. When
Hicks recovered his senses the horse
was still making target of the wagon,
but he did not run away.
The noise attracted the attention of
some passers-by, who assisted Hicks to
drive the yellow-jackets away. The
wagon was smashed to splinters. The
horse was stung all over the head and
body and will be in the care of a vet
erinary for some time.

Transportation Facilities

The transportation difficulties will be
overcome to a great extent by the use
of thirty-foot gasoline launch to run
as an express boat between the dam
and Yuma. Barges and other floating
equipment will be used to transport
heavy supplies. At the dam will be
located complete telephone and tele-
graph systems, so that constant COM
munication may be had with Yuma.
At point where the Colorado river
forms dividing line between Califor-
mia and Arizona dam one mile long
Will be built across the river. It will
extend across the valley and will have
a sluiceway at either end, which will
be connected with the main arteries of
the system of irrigating canals. Under
ordinary conditions, the Colorado river
at this point is about one quarter of 4
mile wide, but the flats on either side
are frequently flooded by high water.
This is especially. the case during the
early summer months, when heavy
floods are caused by melting snow in
the mountains.

Description of Apparatus

The description given in Motorcar
Journal is in part as follows:
With this camera 1t is possible to
take photograph of any rapidly
moving object passing given point,
the shutter speeds giving a range of
exposures from one twenty-f1fth of a
second to one one-thousandth of a sec
ond; at the same time and with the
same movement photograph is taken
Of watch, thus giving the exact time.
A special case is provided for the
watch, and in an opening above the
latter card is inserted giving the
date, which can be signed by the officer
responsible for the time test. Under
meath the dial is numbering appara-
tus, and each watch case bears a reg
istered number before it is sold. The
case is so made that after the official
has placed the watch in the case it can
be sealed (not locked up. and it is i'm
possible for the person in charge OF
the same to tamper with the watch
without breaking and destroying the
seal.
The camera thus makes a record that
can be produced in court and If care
fully stored can be referred to and re-
produced months afterward.

Immense Excavations

The contractors estimate that the
work will require the removal of over
100000 cubic yards of solid rock excava-
ton and 100000 cubic yards of lighter
material The rock will afterwards be
used for filling in the dam. The three
vertical concrete core walls in the in
terror of the dam will require 10000
cubic yards of concrete and $4,000 lineal
feet of sheet piling. Eighty thousand
cubic yards Of rock paving three feet
thick will be needed to complete the
face of the dam.
Very little work can be done during
the time of heavy floods and the con-
struction is to be pushed rapidly this
fall and winter so that the dam may
be finished before the wet season of
1906. To facilitate construction large
orders have already been placed for
prompt shipments of elaborate equip
ment necessary to successfully com.
plete the work. Construction will be
supervised by specially trained men.
who will act under instructions from
their New York ONCE. AS indicative OF
their determination to finish this great
work within the year work was actual
ly commenced by the White company's
engineers within six hours after the
contract had been signed.

English Patent Is Expected to Solve
Problem of Detecting scorchers

IT PHOTOGRAPHS OCCUPANTS

English inventors have perfected a
neat piece of apparatus which may
prove of interest to the citizens of Los
Angeles in relieving them of the ever
present danger of being run over by
one Of the speed maniacs" who are at
the present time monopolizing the
streets Of the city. Probably it will be
tried here, if the police prove as weak
in handling this nuisance as they now
are
The new apparatus employs photog-
raphy electricity and watches in the
catching Of speed maniacs" According
to the Motorcar Journal, the apparatus
consisting of two cameras and watches
one at each end of the trap" is set
up, the distance being first measured.
When set, the machine photographs
the car the moment 1t enters the trap,
the same movement of the shutter
which gives an exposure of one
one thousandth portion of a second,
also photographs a watch which is fit
ted inside the case and sealed in.
The moment the automobile passes
in front of the second camera the ope-
ration is repeated. The time down to
the fraction of second is taken, and
the photographs are used to identify
the machines and chauffeurs and occu-
pants.
Thus, when it is found that driver
has exceeded the speed limit and is ar
rested, he can be brought face to face
with absolute evidence in court.
Such an apparatus will probably be-
come great boon to the mass of the
people who are held in constant servi-
tude by the speed crazed individuals
who tear up and down the city's public
thoroughfares.
