DO FLYING FISH REALLY FLY?
Two Widely Diverse Views Upon the
Subject.

Two Widely Diverse Views Upon the
Subject.
Two papers on the eternal flying fish
problem have appeared almost stimuli
taneously and express widely diverse
views
In the one published in the Jahrbuch
of the Austrian Geological Survey. DR.,
Abel, after describing the various kinds
of fossil flying fish, concludes that
neither the typical flying FISH or the
flying gurnards ever use their pectoral
fins as active organs of fight. On the
contrary, the initial impetus by means
of which these fishes are launched in
to the air is due entirely to powerful
screwlike movements of the tail fin,
and this impetus is sufficient to carry
them to the end of their journey, the
wings acting merely as parachutes.
In other words, the fight is precisely
similar to that of fiat stone when
thrown up SO as to ricochet from the
points where it touches the water till
it finally falls.
In the second paper, publishtd In the
January number of the Annals and
Magazine of Natural History, the
author, Liuet-Col. G. D. Durnford,
takes precisely the opposite view, main
tanning, on mechanical grounds, that
the aeroplane theory, as the above may
be called, is an absolute physical Inn
possibility, owing to the fact that the
wing surface, is far too small In pro
portion to the size and weight of the
body to sustain the fish during its long
fight.
This being admitted, the only altern-
tive is to suppose that the wings are
moved with an exceedingly rapid vlbra-
tory motion Throughout the whole fight,
and are thus, after the first initial inn
petus, the propelling power. The au-
thor further maintains that the wing
movements which many observers have
noticed when a flying fish touches a
wave are not movements de moro, but
merely such a slowing down of the con-
tinuous rapid vibrations as to render
them visible to the eye. II Col. Durn-
ford's mechanical data are trustworthy
as they seem to be-his case appears
to be proved.
The next point however, to ascertain
Is whether the muscles which work the
pectoral fins of flying fish are really
capable of inparting to them the pow
er Of maintaining these rapid and con-
tinuous vibrations, which are the es-
sential part Of the new theory-Lon-

the wake Of the dolls, and for the next
five years the number manufactured
was doubled, until in 1904 it reached the
five thousand mark.
Up to the fall of 1898, the mother and
two daughters constituted the working
force.
Soon afterward Miss Emma Adams
the pioneer Of the enterprise, died sud-
denly Since then a large force has been
employed and artists engaged to paint
the heads.
Several years ago the dolls attracted
the attention Of Mrs E. R. Horton, Of
Boston, great doll fancier. So de-
lighted was she with the dolls that she
not only added one to her collection,
but selected a fine specimen to send
around the world, to be placed on exhi-
bitin in cities and towns for the bene-
fit of children's charities. 1t started on
its trip In March, 1900, in true American
fashion, alone and unchaperoned, and
spent one year in various states, then
crossed to the Philippine Islands.
These playthings are widely scattered
among European countries and many
are to be found In the collections Of
children Of royalty. Chicago Tribune.

intense as to melt the rocks. From
surface appearances the fires have gone
out in these cliffs, but at one point in
the canon of Prince River, where the
coal is being mined, the rocks are
found to be uncomfortably hot and the
miners were compelled to retire for
fear the fires would again break out.
Other coal fields lie in the desert west
of Green river. At two places near
tributaries of Fremont River, the Goals
are burning. and have been without
cessation since they were discovered by
the earliest explorer. At certain in
tervals, as the burning o. the thick be
Is progresses, producing cavernous
spaces in the earth, the rocks cave in,
forming vents for the freer circulation
of air. Then the coal burns more
fiercely and the heat becomes SO in
tense as to even melt the rocks. The
origin of these fires has been the sub
ject of much speculation.
Three explanations are commonly
heard among the people-the Mornons
who inhabit this peculiar country where
the mountains burn
One explanation is that lightning has
by chance struck the edges of these
coal beds at various times since these
mountains were lifted up.
Another is that forest fires raging in
the mountains came in contact with
exposed coal. The more thoughtful
point out that the forests in this de-
sert region are too sparse for the forest
fires to occur.
Still another and more common ex-
PLANTATION Is that the Indians built their
campfires under the protecting lodges Of
the mountains against the coal, and it
was thus ignited. They point to the
fact that there are ruins Of the habtta-
tons of cliff dwellers here, and that in
their day the Goals began to burn
The coal miner in this region sees
still another possible cause for these
fires In the dry mines, and most of
them are dry mines, they observe that
When a quantity of water is thrown
upon heap of dry coal, it spontaneous
" begins to burn, and If not protected
will burn the mine.
Now 1t can be seen that il the rocks
are rent by some subterranean cause, as
sometimes happens, there may be sud
den access Of wafer to the fresh, dry
coal, causing spontaneous combustion.

HAND MADE RAG DOLLS.
Success Of Two Girls With an Industr

Success Of Two Girls With an Industry
Started to Amuse Children.
From q plaything designed to amuse
two children originated an industry
which has attained a remarkable
growth and become famous throughout
the world. In thriving little town not
far from Oswego, N. r., a unique and
interesting business is being conducted
by a woman. 1t is the manufacture of
hand made dolls, which are no more or
less than an evolution Of The rag doll of
century ago, improved and beautitied,
but still bearing the hallmark Of the Old
time favorite. The success of this en-
terprise furnishes a striking proof that
business genius is not confined to men
The business conducted by Miss Mari
eta Adams, originally for pleasure has
continued for profit. Although still a
home Industry, 1t has become an estab-
lished business of not a little CONNER
cial Importance. Many wmen are EN-
plyed, and so great Is the demand for
these rag babies that 1t is almost inn
possible to fill the orders. The indus
try is a living example Of the fact that
capital and college education are not
always necessary to win success in the
commercial world.
There were two sisters in the begin
ming who started the work. One, Miss
Emma Adams, was at the time sue
cessftll erayon and oil artist; the other,
Miss Marietta, was a stenographer for
a large western business house.
The incident which led up to an indie
pendent business career for the two
girls occurred while visiting friends in
Chicago. Just to give pleasure to some
little folk several dolls were made. So
attractive were they that friends de-
sired to purchase them One admirer
took upon herself to show them to a de-
partment store, with the result that the
firm offered a market at once for all the
dolls that they Observation-Disclosures

SOCIETY IN THE TIME OF VOL
TAIRE.

How to be indecorous with decorun1-
French society solved that difficult
problem with the finest ingenuity. Even
the bal masque had the air of order
and decency. Madame herself lived in
the same hotel as her husband, and
caressed-or at least scolded-their child
at her toilet. Her lover was always
anlbiguously alluded to as her friend.
The irregularities of her life were de-
to the business-and by her husband
himself. Sufficiently illustrative of the
base cynicistn and the careful regard
for appearances of the immortality of
the time is that story of the husband
who, finding his wife with her lover,
merely exclaimed: Consider, madame,
how imprudent Suppose it had been
any one else but myself" AS fine
clothes hid whole hearted disregard
for personal cleanliness, fine manners
hid cool and planned corruption
wholly matchless. For these people
were false even in their sin.
Failing the public ball, madame went
to the public theatre. Some of the
plays TO which she listened bear favor

with the plays. to which twentieth cen
fury society listens complacertly to-
day Voltaire complained of the gross
ness OF Shakespeare as contrasted with
the great playwrights of his own coun-
try. But in intention, in situation, the
French stage in the eighteenth century
had soft loathsomeness to which even
the loud and boisterous indecencies of
the Restoration dramatists are prefer

madame's amusements, as of her life,
the less said the better.
Sometimes, like Nine. du Chalet
she would spend whole days in bed
without being ILL.," Far from cut

were then amusing her from morning
till night. Gossip, music and verses
gave the hours winged feet. In the

EVER BURNING MOUNTAINS.
Huge Beds OF Coal Afire for Ages in
the Rocky Mountains.


Through a long line of cliffs from
Colorado to central Utah, and then
southwest toward Arizona, extensive
beds of coal are found, and recent
geological investigations into this coal
formation Of the Far West has develop
ed what may be termed burning noun
tainse, or coal beds, a fire with surface
indications Of constant combustion for
ages past.
Like other coal producing States of
the Rocky Mountain region, the coal
fields of Utah are somewhat widely
separated, and even the known fields
have been comparatively little explored
therefore very little is known of their
productive area.
The edges of these beds come to the
surface in these cliffs nearly 1000 feet
above bordering desert, and in ages
past this coal has burned into the
mountain cliffs until smothered by the

run 81 per cent lead, 27 ounces silver
and $3.50 gold per ton. and Mr.. Porter
stated Friday that the Montezuma would
easily maintain shipments from now on
at the rate OF 100 tons month.
The ore was encountered on the 200
foot level In the south drift; the body
is four and half feet In width, and
the management has followed II for
a distance OF forty feet. That It is Il
very large body OF ore is certain. the
face of the drift still being in the samo
extent and values. In the past the

the pockets OF its stockholders, and from
the way the present management has
opened up new resources, the friends OF
the company are sanguine that another
star producer has been added to the long

Adjoining the Montezuma is the Cen
tennial property, In which are interested
the Montezuma people, Mr. Porter states
that the management is driving q drift
to cut the ore body found on the upper
