1t was found that the violin was a
treasure, without doubt an exceed
ingly valuable example of the cele-
brated master, Andreas or Giuseppe
Guarnieri. There is neither date
nor inscription to indicate the hand
of its creation but, said Mr.. Warner,
the rich tone and artistic contour,
the strength and genius displayed
in technical conception, bring to the
connoisseur a knowledge of its orr
gin that cannot be questioned.
The present owner of the instru-
ment, whom Mr.. Warner well knows,
tells of the romance connected with
its possession that is of exceeding in
the violin to him. lived at ST. Gather
ines,- Ont. The instrument had be-
come famous for the wondrous
beauty of it's tone. Edouard Remen-
vi had played upon 1t and pronounc-
ed it of rare workmanship and pur-
possession was declined. As Mr..
Warner says: ut is well known that
violins which are entitled to the
distinction of 'old,'-say one or more
centuries,-rarely If ever break,
surely not through any defect of
weakness" The violin had come into
the hands of Mr.. Warmers friend al
though his uncle, its former owner,
was still living. Some ten years
ago of New Years morning the
owner was sitting in the window of
his home at Devils Lake, when he
discovered Western Union messen-
ger boy approaching. Moved by
one of those inexplicable present
ments with which we are all more
or less familiar, he exclaimed. Il
believe uncle is dead!" = On opening
he telegram which the boy had de-
| livered he read: Uncle died this
morning at 3 o'clock" Instructive
| ly his mind reverted to the old violin
and upon going to the library and
opening its case he was amazed to
find the instrument split In twain,
cracked from end-peg to finger-board
Just as it is shown in the accom-
panying illustration.
Those who are superstitious at
tao to the incident significance
perhaps which It does not deserve,
but, says Mr.. Warner, to the incred-
ulous 1t may bring suggestion OF
the possibility OF an unfathomed mys-
terry, a relation between the psychic
and the inanimate.

LESSON OF THE EARTHQUAKE.
1t Teaches the Importance Of Struc-
tural Materials.


turaI Materials.
If argument were needed to show
the ACCESSIBILITY of an investigation %
strutural materials it is more than
supplied by the recent earthquake in
California.
What buildings best stood the
shock is a question OF great practical
interest. Why they endured when
others fell is food for thought to
builders all over the country.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the appraisers building
in San Francisco, where the United
States geological survey maintains a
local Office, Is one of the few business
strutures in that city which was un
injured either by shock or fame.
Charles G. Yale, special agent of the
survey reports that a little plaster
has fallen but that the building Is
probably the only one in the city that
shows not a single crack In its brick
walls. This may be due TO the fact
that the foundation consists Of six
foot bed of solid cement placed upon
thousands of piles and that the bricks
are put together with cement Instead
of mortar The walls are thicker
below the sidewalks than above
them. When the building moves. II
moves as monolith, and while the
vibration is considerable. no damage
has been done except to the plaster.
That the geological survey might
with profit to the country undertake
the investigation OF structural mate
rials is attested by the numerous re
quests which II receives for infor-
nation ON the subject. Twice during
the past year the survey was visited
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1906-11-29

by o body Of engineers, who repre-
sented large Industrial development
in a number of different states. The
survey was unable to supply the in.
formation which they desired con-
corning the strength and endurance
of materials to be used in a variety
Of building and construction work.
This one fact shows how desirable 1t
is that the Investigations now under
way by the survey be enlarged.
These Investigations have thus fai
had to do mainly with the testing OF
cements and concretes 1t Is felt that
the work should be continued and
amplified.

COnqured At Last.

New York, Nov. 5. The Southern

vised to-day that the break in the Col

the engineers yesterday at noon.
pen days may be required to seal the
crevices in the rock with gravel and
clay. shutting off the last drop in the
break.
Thus there has been accomplished an
act never witnessed on earth befor e
and one which was declared by the vast
majority of engineers to be an impossi-
bility.
1t was in desperation that this impos-
sible task was undertaken. 1t was rec
ognized that the one hope for success
this work lay in pouring in rock fast.
than it ever before had been hand
led.
Despite the fact that much of this
rock was hauled 300 miles, it was de-
livered with such speed that car would
be dumped every FIVE minutes day and
night. and the dam rose out of the
water, the crevices between the great
rocks were filled with gravel and the
small interstices were filled with clay.
Thus two years of struggle ends
Man is again victor over the forces OF
nature, the Southern Pacific right OF
way is saved, and the ten thousand citi-
zens of Imperial Valley can go about
their vocations confident as any people
of the world of the application to them
selves of the biblical pledge that the
world will not again be destroyed by
water.

Ages in The AniI..a ] KlnsdOm.

A great variance as to length of life
appears among different animals. Some
insects live for only few hours, while
fish, elephants, and turtles are frequent
ly centenarians. The average life OF
the mosquito is three days. loads usu-
ally live to the age of fifteen years,
while carp have been knoTn to reach
one hundred and fifty.
Chickens live from twelve to fifteen
years; dogs to the age Of ten and occa.
sionly fifteen, and parrots to extreme
age. These birds have been known Ia
pass the age of two hundred years.
Turtles are also frequently centenari-
ans, as are storks, and elephants are
said to reach the age Of three hundred
years. Whales have been known Ia
live for four hundred years.

Our Next Hove.

Now that the election is finally over
and the country is safe for the next
two years, it is beiitting that we have
some plans and schemes for the adj
vancement Of all olr interests that are
above all party considerations. Some
thing that interests us all and will ben
eft every citizen of Luna county.
We have the land, the sunshine, the
climate, and everything needed to make
this one Of the most prosperous sections
of New Mexico with one or two excep.
tions.
We are sometimes told that capital
is needed to improve and develop this
town and country; this is true, and it is
alaO true that capital only needs to see
an opening for profitable investment,
and the rest is easy whether it IL here
or elsewhere. We would like to see
men with capital to invest, rushing to
Deming, buying and selling real estate,
building homes, and factories, business
houses, and improving both town and
surrounding country.
But now when men with means to
make these desirable improvements Wis
it us they invariably note all our nat
ural advantages, and then quote the
scripture to us, Zone thing thou lack.
est. " "You have the location, rail-
road benefits, the climate and soil,
but you lack water Ii the people pf
your town and conntry will unite and
go down for artesian water, and on

its surrounding fertile valley"
One flowing we'll will settle the water
question, and quadrupe the populate n
of Deming and Luna county within o
years, and every property owner hel e
can perceive at once what this means
to him or her.
There are here at present men who
had long experience in sinking wells,
who thoroughly understand the busi-
ness, and are ready to make a propo-
sition to our citizens, which if satisfac
{ tory, will start the drill toward the
center of gravity in this planet without
unnecessary delay.
