Engineer Prime and Fireman Baker,

Oh the westbound freight track while
a freight train bore down upon him at

The boy saw the eastbound passen-

around and saw the freight train bear

seemed incapable Of action.
Prime put III brakes, and Baker
jumped down the gangway steps. Then
he leaped the freight tracks. seized the
boy and clambered back on the smok-

New Method of purifkinx Milk,

Professor Behring has discovered Il
new method of sterilizing milk without
boiling 1t or destroying any of its es
sential principles, says the Paris Ma
tin. The method is based on the pow,
erful qualities Of German perhydrol.
simply oxygenated. One gram per
liter Of this substance is sufficient to
destroy all noxlous germs. The milk
thus sterilized can be kept a long time
and is not injured by travelling, but it
cannot be drunk until it has been GEN
tly warmed and a drop of q catalytic
substance added, extracted from the
milk itself. Or. Behring sent two bot
lies Of this sterilized milk to the cen
trail laboratory Of the ministry Of agri-
culture in Berlin, where it was found
that the milk was perfectly pure. Or.
Behring proved that light had a very
harmful effect on the milk, whether
sterilized hot or cold, and he recon
mends that it should be kept in a dark
place or in red or green bottles.

Power Going to Waste.

Some day, says the Newark Adver-
tlser, the vast amount Of power going
to waste from the chimneys Of manu-
featuring establishments will be util-
ized. This economy is being studied
here and abroad, and various devices
are now in use. In a paper read re-
Gently before the Society Of German
Engineers it was estimated that IN
Germany no less than 100000 horse.
power might be obtained from the sur.
plus gases Of coke ovens and an addi.
tional 100000 horsepower from the
waste gases Of blast furnaces. The
first gas engine plant dealing with
coke oven gases was put into opera
ton in 1894 in Germany, and there are
now constructed or under construction
gas engines capable Of delivering no
less than 100000 horsepower when op.

NEW SOURCE OF RUBBER.
1aexfc"n Vines So Full Of 1t They
stretch Without Breaking.

Stretch without Breaking.
The owner OF Il large aca planta.
ton IN the northeastern part OF CHA
pas says he has discovered a rubber
vine on his property that excels all
others. The discovery vas made by
Chinese laborers working for him.
The Chinese gathered vines which
grow in a dense. tangled mass and
wove them into rude llunmocks. The
hammocks We're especially elastic on
account Of the large amount of rubber
In them. and this was particularly SO ii
the vines were dried some time.
The attention of the owner Of the
hacienda was naturally called to the
peculiar properties Of the strange vine.
Upon investigation. according to the re-
ports, 1t was found to carry a high per-
centage Of rubber. 1t amounts to about
20 or % per cent Of the weight of the
vine and is SO strong that on breaking
the wood the rubber still holds.
In other rubber plants. as fur as is
known, there are SC much resin aud es-
sential oil in the rubber that it Is not
elastic ut all until extracted and treat
ed. 1t Is more like a viscous sap, as
that of the fig tree.
In the new vine. however, there ap-
pears to be a total absence Of essential
oil and resin. 1t is not so certain a
fact, however. that this property will
add to the facility Of extraction. II
nj make it more difficult.
IL 1t shall be found that 1t is possible
to separate this rubber from the
plant in any economical name the
d%iscoverer believes that it will greatly
affect the industry. There are vast
tangles Of the vine, and the percentage
Of rubber Is higher than in any other
known plant.-Modern Mexico.

CAMPAIGNING IN K O
Two Young Women Candidates Brave
Wilds to See Voters.

Two Young Women Candidates Brave
Wilds to See Voters.
One Of the most unique campaigns
eve waged will be that between the
two candidates for the Office Of county
superintendent of Butte county. says a
Belle Fourche Is. d. correspondent Of
the st. Paul Dispatch. The two young
ladies who are running for the Office
are both ex-superintendents. one, Miss
Elsie Malcolm, having served her two
terms In Butte county. and the other,
Miss Susie Bird, having done equal
duty in Meade county. They are both
experienced politicians.
In order to make their campaign they
will have to owe as much territory rs
would the governor Of Massachusetts,
In his campaign. for Butte county Is
easily the size Of Massachusetts. and
could swallow Rhode Island and not
know It. But no such mean Of trans
portation are available for these ladies
as there would be were they back in
the Bay State, for a large part Of the
northern part of Butte county Is but
newly settled, and there are stretches
Of country that know no settlers save
the prairie dog.
Over this country, often alone, in a
little blackboard or on the back Of a
trusty COW pony. for distances Of not
less than 200 miles. these intrepid girls
must go to meet the voters Of Butte
county. Often their way will lie
among the row ranches and not seldom
through the moving camps Of cowboys
or sheep herders. Out In the northern
part Of Butte county a great number
Of new settlers have come recently, at
tracted by the prospective route Of the
Milwaukee railroad. Down in the
southern part Is also a new population,
employed ON the government ditch.
How all of these strangers are going
to vote no one yet knows. Their poll
tics Is unknown, and the young lady
that reaches them first Is likely to
prove the winner. Because Of so many
new settlers the entire county of Butte
is in doubt. and neither party claims
it with any confidence. Both of the
young women candidates are attractive
personally, and both have had the ad-
vantage of previous experience, so that
It Is an interesting race.

NOW CANNING "HOT STUFF"
Preparing Chilli Peppers For Market
a New Industry In Los Angeles.

u new In Los Angeles.
A new industry was started in Los
Angeles, Cal, recently. that Of prepar.
ing for the wholesale market Mexican
canned foods and dainties in which til.
chill pepper forms an important item.
says the Los Angeles Times. Such
foodstuffs have never before been put
up in this way for the market.
Hot stuff" is getting popular in all
sections Of the United States. and as
about the ''lottcst STUFF is a chilli pep
per there is a greater demand for the
red pod than ever before and greater
than can be supplied.
One reason put forward for this
growing demand for the chill pepper
from so many quarters Is that tourists
coming to Los Angeles acquire the
taste for Spanish dishes and securing
recipes reproduce the tasty dishes at
home and pass along the rec .e to their
%neighbors. But whatever the cause
there has suddenly developed this ex.
traorlinary demand for the hot stuff"
and there are carload orders from
many parts Of the country which can
not be filled.
Naturally the price of chilis has
doomed Last spring the rate whole
sale for red peppers was 10 cents a
pound. Now it is from II to Is cents
and not enough ut this price. Farm
ers in al, parts of Southern California
are beginning to turn their fields to
the cultivation Of the chill. but the
home of the chill at present Is about
Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana.
Near Santa Monica is a rancher who
raises what is called the black chill.
which has a thicker skin and n sweet
flavor, though just as hot as the old
fashioned kind. This Is the only ranch
Of black peppers known Of near Los
Angeles. Ranchcrs raised about a ton
Of chilis to the acre and received over
5000 a ton for them evaporated.
