A Nevada Prison.

For two days Billy Sanderson a
miner, who tried to escape from this
district without paying his board bill
Of 500, remained chained to heavy
freight wagon, there being no Jail in
which to confine him. Finally several
Of his friends came to his rescue and
upon their pledges he was released.
They put him to work in a mine, and
he is paying his debts at the rate of
$3.50 a day, miners wages
After arresting Sanderson at Gold
Center the officer was at a loss about
holding his prisoner. There is no Jail
there and finally he chained the fellow
to wagon. That night he took him
to his tent and the next day he was
tied to the wagon again, where he was
compelled to endure the gibes Of about
100 of his friends, who called to inquire
after his health. Finally they took
pity on him and effected his release

Several projects are now undef con

Of the river Phone through a remark

"Perte du RhCne." The available water
mower at this point is SAID by french
engineers to be the most important III

10000 horsepower is obtained near
Bellegarde, but this is mere fraction
Of the amount that can be utilized with

scene presented by the river rushlng
through the narrow canyon and down
the steep descents is one of the most
striking spectacles offered to the eyes
of the traveller on the European CONT

A theory of the gradual evolution OF
the climates of the earth, which has at
least the merit of being interesting, was
recently set forth before the Philosoph-
ical Society of Washington, by Mars
S~1NAN'
the globe was enveloped in an atmos-
phere dense with watery vapor, through
which the suns heat did not penetrate,
but the internal heat of the earth itself,
confined beneath the atmospheric blan-
ket, produced a warm climate even in
the polar regions. Finally, as the oceans
gradually cooled, the atmospheric va
pors became less dense, the suns rays
broke through, and, under solar inf1u-
ences, the climates of the globe arrang-
ed themselves in zones. During the
process of cooling, and before the in
f1uence of the suns heat became pre-
dominant on the earth's surface,

1t has been suggested that the papaya,
or Mexican papaw plan, may afford an
excellent material for the making of
high grade paper, and the suggestion
naturally attracts much attention in
the districts where the plant abounds.
The fiber runs the full length of the
trunk, which, with the exception of the
bark and small core of pith, is COM
posed entirely of this material. The
plant is Of rapid growth, for the stem
attains diameter of two or three inch
es in the first year. 1t is said that the
papaya was brought to Mexico from
the Moluccas by the Spaniards, and this
raises, in connection with it's proposed
employment for paper-making, the
question whether it might not be sue
cessfully introduced into Florida and
California. Any new wood fiber whose
use might tend to spare our Northern
spruce forests would receive a double
welcome.

In Holland births, marriages and
deaths, instead of being recorded in
newspapers. are indicated by windmills.
When miller gets married he stops
his mill with the arms of the wheel
in slanting position and with the
sails unfurled. His friends and guests
frequently do likewise with their mills,
in token of the ceremony. To indicate
birth the wheel is stopped with the
arms in a slanting position, but at Il
more acute angle than for a marriage,
and with the two upper sails unfurled.
ShrouId ca miller die the sails of his
mill are all furled. and the wheel is
turned round until the arms form an
upright cross. in which position they
are left until after the funeral has
taken place.

Have Got Into Trouble.
At the time of the rush of immigra-
ton to western Kansas in 1850 and
1886, the extreme southwestern portion
of the State was filled rapidly, says
The World To-Day. They found the
land in possession of rancherS. These
original cattlemen had for years pas
tured their herds on the prairieS at
will The invention of barbed wire had
given them the key to new method
of ranching. They had abandoned the
system of herding on the open range,
finding it cheaper to run barbed wire
around vast tracts of land.
Between the cattlemen and the set
tiers there arose a bitter feud, the
herders using every means to keep the
grangerS, or hOmesteaders, from occupy
ing the land which they had appr0prla-
ted to their own use BY enactins the
law against fencing government land,
