A Valuable DOG.

tells of one farmer who purchased
a hunting dog that was highly recon-
mended to him by man who did not
seem particularly reluctant about part
ing with it. When the dog was de-
livered the farmer looked it over
with considerable misgiVings. II

EARTHQUAKE MOVED NOUN
TAM

Whole mountains were moved by the
earthquake Investigations at Palo Alto,
Cal, by geological experts, it is said,
show that the small mountain range
known as Sierra Moreno or Sierra
Santa Cruz, has been moved northward
from three to six feet. This range
forms the backbone of the peninsula of
San Francisco. Along the base of the
Moreno range for 30 miles extends a
narrow valley which marks an old geo
logical fault When it was made the
rocks on the east side fell about 1000
feet relatively with those on the west side,
which constitutes the Moreno range.
Most earthquake shocks about San Fran
cisco are the result of friction and read
justrnent along the line of this old fault
The violent shock of April IS clearly
was due to this old fault, which reopened
on the west side This fault slipped
northward three to six feet without
change of level on either side, and when
the strain on the Morena range was re-
lieved the earthquake ceased. At first
the motion was horizontal, and then
waves from more distant points caused
extraordinary twists.

A CARGO of Dead Flies.

A ton of dead flies was the strange
cargo a vessel from Brazil unloaded
at the London docks. Dead flies are
admirable food for chickens, birds
in captivity and captive fishes. But
there being no flies to speak of in
England those in search of this deli
cacy for their animals have to send
to Brazil, where there are flies on
everything. The river Amazon abounds
with flies. Brazilians float down the
stream in boats and scoop in mil
lions of the flies which circle In dense
clouds just above the waters edge.
The flies are killed, dried thoroughly
in the sun and packed in bags. They
are then shipped.
Dead flies constitute one of the rich
est Of foods for animals. For chick
ems the flies are mixed with other
ingredients, such as millet and corn.
by themselves the flies are too rich.
but their power of nourishment is
so great that small quantity of
them has most beneficial effect. Two
years dSO INC DA dAllidn government
stopped the expectation, being afraid
that the fish in the rivers would suf-
fer by being deprived of this fy-food.
But the prohibition has been re-
moved. Formerly dead flies sold at
ten cents pound, but the demand
has grown and the supply so lessened
that thirty cents a pound is charged.
One ton of flies fills large room, as
there are only fifteen pounds of flies

Lake of Petroleum in Gulf.

Incoming vessels report having en-
countered an immense lake of oil,
fifty miles off the Texas coast, through
which they plowed their way for
nearly three hours, says the Calves

Globe-Democrat. The crude Oil COW
cred an area of many miles. While
the oil lake in the gulf has been
known to the mariners for many
years, a light. oily surface has been
its extent up to the last two days. The
oil appears to be gushing up through
the water in heavy stream.
Oil experts who have been examin-
ing the Texas fields to ascertain the
cause of the steady decrease OF pro-
daction declare that the original sup
ply of oil has found an outlet through
the gulf This theory is strengthened
by the fact that the production in the
Texas-Lousiana fields has dropped on
nearly 100000 barrels within the
last sixty days, despite the many new
wells struck.

John was home from college for the
Christmas holidays, and one of the
things that struck the inipressionable
young man was that Dora Mason,
daughter of near neighbor, had during
his absence changed from a tomboy
schoolgirl into bashful young woman.
His father had also noticed it.
Have you noticed old Joe Mason's
daughter shot up, John?" he asked his
son. Seems to me she's getting quite
handsome young critter"

"she is as beautiful as Hebe"

"ln the year 1895 the side of my right
foot was cut off from the little toe down
to the heel, and the physician who had
charge of me was trying to sew up the
side of my foot, but with no success. At
last my whole foot and way up above my
calf was nothing but proud flesh. L suf-
fered untold agonies for four years, and
tried different physicians and all kinds of
ointments. 1 could walk only with
crutches. In two weeks afterwards l saw
change in my limb. Then began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment often during
the day, and kept it up for seven months,
when my limb was healed up just the
same as if | never had trouble. 1t is
eight months now since l stopped using

The acquittal Of George Turner Of
the charge Of numbering Policeman
Spellman has set the colored popula-
ton to thinking. The efforts of the po-
lice to convict Turner, the influence
which the daily press exerted on pub
lie opinion against him, his limited
stay in our city and resultant lack Of
standing made his case seem hopeless,
indeed. 1t is small wonder, therefore
that his attorney, Joseph II. Stuart.
has come in for the largest mead OF
praise that he has ever received in all
the years Of his practice in Denver. To
many who back up their professions OF
race love by deeds, and who have
watched Stuart's career and knew by
having employed him, that he is mas.
ter OF his calling, his success is not so
much OF surprise. The conduct Of
the case from the very beginning
when he challenged the array and rep.
resented to the court that the jury
which was empaneled had been chosen
In such a manner that prejudice was
to be expected from them down to his
closing argument, was brilliant. So ef.
fectively did he put his first objection
that in the history of the West Side
Court there have never been so many
who voluntarily excused themselves
on the ground Of prejudice, nor have
more intelligent or fair-minded jurors
sat upon a murder case. In procuring
witnesses for the defense, and in ex-
aiming them, as well as those of the
state, in the deductions drawn, he was
no less able than in the selection OF
the jury. The doubt of the guilt of the
defendant was well brought out and his
acquittal will be hard blow to the
inquisition methods whereby the police
department sought to drag another vic.
tim to the gallows. Lawyer Stuart's
victory reflects great credit on him. but
