huge consultations on the old Com
stock 40 years ago, and undoubtedly
presages the beginning of the biggest
era of development in the southern
part of the State.
The representatives of Mr.. Schwab
did not discuss the Tonopah Extension
stock decline of a few weeks ago to
any great extent, merely saying that
Thomas McKane has retired from the
presidency quite voluntarily and that
upon his request was succeeded by Mr..
Gillies, who will exercise supreme
executive control over this property.
They maintained, however, that the
Tonopah Extension is just as good as
ever, and would be made greater.
Mr.. McKane, that said, who has beer
identified so long with Tonopah and
Goldfeld mining interests, has pur-
chased a large tract of timber lands in
Canada, will reside there and develop
these new holdings.
While the statement was not made
directly, the inference was that Nc
Kane has sold out practically all his
mining interests or left them in sucl
shape that they will not require any
personal attention from him.

A Source of contnglon.

1t has been proved by abundant in
vestigation that one prolific source of
epidemic diseases is found in the liza
bility Of the germs of such diseases to
lodge in the mouth around the teeth
and gums. A physician examined the
teeth of the children of certain
school. He found disease germs pres
ent in almost every case. By careful
watching he discovered that those chill
dren whose teeth We're kept cleanest
suffered less from epidemic diseases.
The neglected condition of the teeth is,
therefore, a common cause of illness.
Indeed, if one takes the trouble to OBJ
serve with what rapldity the tartar
and cheesy matter accumulate around
the teeth of people who are out OF
health they will not be long In making
up their minds that thorough and ju-
dicous use of the toothbrush is not
very far from means of grace.

Strange Coptiyitv

The springbok Of South Africa mi
CRATE In vast herds, moving in n COM
pact body and carrying everything be-
lore them. If a flock of sheep be in
the line of march - as 1t sometimes
happens-it is surrounded, enveloped
ana becomes, willingly or unwillingly,
part of the army. An African hunter
tells the strange story of seeing lion
in the midst of the antelopes, forced to
join the march. 1T is supposed that the
lion had sprung too far for his prey,
that those upon whom he alighted re-
colled sufficiently to allow him to reach
The ground, and then the pressure
from both TANKS and the rear prevent
ed him from escaping from his strange
captivity. If the springbok travels in
such armies. how can those in the mid
die and rear find food? In this wise:
Those in the front ranks, after they
have eaten greedily of the pasture,
gradually fall out of the ranks to rest,
while the hungry ones in the rear come
up. and so the columns are all the
while changing.

Comparisons.

This is not Il joke 1t is q brief dis
sertation on astronomy. A variable
star is one whose brightness has been
observed to diminish or increase. The
best known variable is in the constella-
ton Perseus. 1t was called by the
Arabians Algol, which means the de-
mon star. This shows that the Arabi-
ans knew a thing or two themselves.
Algol, which Is larger than our sun, is
partially eclipsed every 2 days 20 hours
4S minutes and 55.4 seconds by an In
visible body about the size of our sun.
In observing this phenomenon it is nee
essnry to have in mind the fraction Of a
second; otherwise you will be liable to
miss 1t. Algol is so far away from the
earth that we do not hear the rush of
the wind as the two ponderous bodies
rush around each other. Compared with
the distance Of Algol, the diameter of
the earth's orbit, which Is about 1885,
