The Robber and His Rake-Off.

! Because the stockholders of the
Wells-Fargo express company are
scrapping among themselves, the
public has just learned the pleasing
fact that the corporations net earn
ings last year amounted to 80 per
cent on it's much-watered stock.
No wonder this combination can
afford to keep an army of lobbyists
at Washington to defeat any meas
ure that makes for public convent
ence in the shape Of parcels post.
| When Henniker Heaton. the post
master-general of England. asked
the postmaster-general of the United
States why this country did not en-
Joy parcels post, he was met with
this answer:
There are three good and suffi-
cient reasons why the United States
mails have no such service. the first
reason is the Wells-Fargo express
company; the second reason Is the
Adams express company, and the
third reason Is the Southern express
company"
1t is a notorious fact that the pat
rons of these express companies are
robbed twice over; first in the initial
charges, which are invariable of
themselves exorbltant; secondly, by
the rake-off or additional charge
fixed under "orders" by the employ
es. No tariff sheet, for instance, is
printed for the use of the general
public.
You are obliged to take the word
of the companies for the charges,
both going and coming, and they
take "all that's coming" both ways. |

Placer county bank at Auburn by
young Weber.
Adolph Weber was tried and con-
victed on a charge of numbering his
mother on February 22, 1905, and
later sentenced to be hanged on the
3Oth day OF June following. The
case was appealed, but the higher
court upheld the decision OF the
lower court and Weber was again
sentenced to hang. The motive for
the murder was no doubt the hope
! OF securing the inheritance, as
Adolph became the sole heir of the
entire estate OF his father, estimated
to amount to $4,000.
The prosecution prepared o strong
case against the prisoner. To the
satisfaction OF the jury 1t proved
him degenerate OF the lowest or
der; that It was he who held up the
cashier OF the Placer county bank,
getting thereby $4,000; that he had
not been on good terms with his
family for several days preceding the
murders; that by the death of fa-
ther, mother, sister and brother he
hoped to inherit the family wealth;
that on the night of the murder he
entered the house, shot down in
quick succession the members Of
the family, poured kerosene over
the PROSTATE bodies and set them
afire. then locked the doors and
hurried downtown, purchased and
put on a new pair OF trousers, later
going back to- the house to throw
the old pair into the blazing pile.
In weaving its chain of circum-
stantial evidence the prosecution ad-
vanced theory for the manner in
which the mother was killed that
stamped the prisoner as n veritable
hyena. Through the telephone op-
orator II was learned that an hour
before the tragedy was discovered
the telephone in the Weber home
slgnaled for a connection. The OPP
orator answered a few seconds later.
but could get no reply. A few min
utes later the line was clear. When
told OF this the prosecution imme-
dlately arrived at the conclusion that
one OF the family tried to call for
assistance and was shot while doing
so. This belief was strengthened
when Mrs. Weber's body was exam
ined. Under the left armplt was a
bullet hole with every appearance OF
having been made with holding the
receiver TO her ear.
A feeble attempt was made to
place the responsibility for the crime
on the shoulders OF n mysterious
stranger. but the circumstantIal
evidence against Adolph was so
strong that the attempt was re-
oelved with derision.
Not word of regret that the loved
ones should have been destroyed. |
not one word of hope that the MUIR
dered might be apprehended, not

Weber.

Great Heat in Deco M;ne..

Great Heat in Deep Mines.
The latest determination Of rise in
temperature in descending under.
ground gives 243 feet for every degree
centigrade or 1856 feet for rise Of one
degree Fahrenheit The difference in
temperature of different rock sub.
stances is almost inappreciable.
Experiments made In deep mines to
prove that the heat of the rocks does
not preclude mining operations at
even 1900 feet, because If the recog-
nized formula of 1876 degrees Fahren.
heit at $500 feet, demonstrated that
such temperature is not reached.
The assertion sometimes made that
mining might extend to as great a
depth as 10000 feet il haulage could
be accomplished is untenable. The
difficulties would not be in haulage,
but, first, that of breathing under the
enormous atmospheric pressure, and,
secondly. increase of temperature. A
mass of air in down.cast shaft of 50
degrees Fahrenheit at the surface at
depth of 10000 feet would attain a
temperature Of 80 degrees by it's own
weight. Healthful mining would be
impossible.

Freaks in Animal World.
Unlike most animals horses have no
eyebrows and hares are minus eye
lids. Consequently the eyes of the
latter cannot be shut and a thin mem
braneous substance covers them when
asleep. The eye Of the owl is also
very peculiar, seeing that it is immov-
ably fixed in its socket and cannot stir
in any direction. To compensate for
this seeming disadvantage it can turn
its head almost completely around
without moving its body.

compelled to keep opening and clos

A curious fact about the eel is that
it has less life in its head than its
tail; consequently when killing an eel
the fisherman smashes it's tail 1t

Earth Becoming a Desert.

was the statement made by Prof.
Lowell in a lecture before the Lowell
institute at the Massachusetts instf.
tnte of technology.
The water contained by the earth is
passing gradually of into inter.stellar
space, and the great deserts such as
the Sahara and those in Arizona are
increasing in size much more rapidly
than most people think.
According to Prof. Lowell. what
were once well populated valleys in
the region Of the Sahara, is now a

changes have been taking place. and
