fATY1N THE olden times. when everything
HIk unexplainable was pronounced su-
SS1eSad pernatural, it is easily understood
EEL why the mirage was regarded with
awe as well as wonder Yet the
phenomenon is as simple in Its orr
gin as the rainbow.
The celebrated Fata Morgana of the
Straits of Messina and the Spectre of the
Brocken are mirage, and the phenomena are
confined to no particular portion of the world
A mirage may occur at any place where
the denser stratum of air is placed above the
lighter stratum, thus refracting the rays OF
light, the common surface of the two STRAIT
ums acting as a mirror.
In looming mirages distant objects show an
extravagant increase in vertical height WITH
out alteration in breadth. Distant hummocks
of ice are thus magni6ed into immense tow
ers and pinnacles, and a ship Is sometimes
abnormally drawn out until it appears twelve
or thirteen times as high as it isJong. Rocks
are seen drawn up to ten or twelve times
their proper height. Houses, as well as hu-
man beings and animals, appear in like exag
gerated shape.
Another form of mirage is when ship, or
some other object near the water, seems great
ly elongated, and second inverted image
meets it from above.
Sometimes the proper image of the object
is elevated far above the lake or sea, while
the second image strangely appears inverted
beneath it. the whole surrounded by sheet
of sky. which is mirrored and repeated with
in it.
In 1882, in the Arctic region, Captain
Scoresby recognized, by its inverted image in
the air, his fathers ship, the Fame, which af-
terwards proved to be seventeen miles be-
yond the visible horizon of his observation.
Doctor Vince, on August 6. 1906, at Z p.
M, saw from Ramsgate, England, at which
place only the tops of Dover Castle towers
are usually visible, the whole of the castle. 1t
appeared as though lifted up and bodily plac-
ed on the near side Of the intervening hill.
So perfect was this Illusion that the hill it
self actually could not be seen through the
figure.

ever, whale goes on a rampage,
and then even fair-sized vessels have to get
outof the way. The coasting schooner Cecilia
had a stirring encounter with an immense
bumpback whale off the coast of Nova Sco-
tia recently When the monster, which the
captain declares was seventy feet long, first
made its appearance, the crew paid no atten-
tion to it, but when it swan alongside the
schooner and gave it an occasional bump, the
frightened sailors held a consultation. The
only weapon on board was a 32-calibre revol-
yer, and the captain fred one shot from this
at the whale, aiming at what he thought to
be vulnerable part. But the only effect of
the bullet was to further irritate the whale,
and it hit the schooner several slaps with its
tail that made the masts shake. Then it
began to dive under the schooner from side
to side, keeping the sailors in perpetual ter
ror for fear he would rise directly under
the vessel and turn her keel uppermost.
There was no use trying to escape by flight,
as the whale tackled every time the schooner
did, and was twice as swift, and they did
not dare to use the revolver again. So the

the News Reporter has been able
to meet have expressed themselves
as greatly pleased with the treat
ment accorded them by Tucum-

many good things about our ex-
hibits and our entire Fair program.
We appreciate this sentiment and
the free and hearty manner in
which our visitors have expressed
themselves.

Tucumcari was prepared Tor a
large number of visitors, but the
overflow was such on the second
day of the Fair, the day on which
the trades displayed, that we hard
~ had room at street crossings for
the great crowds watching the pa
rade. Tucumcari has on different
occasions, had a great many visit
ors, but this eclipses them all,
even ii all previous crowds were
considered as one.

Peanut meal, wholly unknown
in this country, has long been a
staple article OF diet among the
poorer classes of Spain. Bread
made from pure pea nut meal is
light and porous, but is better if
mixed with rye in proportion Of
four to one of the former. This
mixture can not be distinguished
from pure rye bread, while it is far
more nutritious. 1t contains a
high per cent of heterogeneous mat
ter being only surpassed in this
respect by skim milk cheese. Some
OF our readers ought to try this for
an experiment.-Ex.

BUSINESS
MEN ARE BUSINESS MEN

The current number Of the Tu-
cumcari News consists Of twenty
eight pages, mostly ads, though
the reading matter is OF a character
to be remembered. There are stir
ring editorials on the peanut and
broom corn industries and snappy
locals enough to satisfy anybody.
A few minutes research shows that
the number was the best patronized
by the local merchants of any pa
per in New Mexico of the same
week, an honor that speaks much

Tucumcari business men have
made the Tucumcari News, with
the 1900 subscribers we have in
the county, the greater part of
which have been obtained during
the last eighteen months, showing
what business men a do for a
newspaper in a county of seven to
nine thousand people. No news
paper on the planet can boast a
more satisfactory patronage than
the Tucumcari News, and since
our worthy Register Tribune men,
toned the matter, it gives us great
pleasure TO tell about Tucnmcari
business men and to state that the
town, while still a few thousand
under Roswell, is the coming town
OF North Eastern New Mexico and
we believe, the best business com
mun:ty in the entire South West.
The News desires to say to Mr..
Robinson, editor of the Register
Tribune, one of strongest news
papers editorially in the Territory,
and one Of the best patronized in
South Eastern New Mexico, that

Quay County's First Annual
Fair was a good one; in fact, it
was so much better than even our
own population in the city expected,
that they are talking OF little else
than the great success we have
made in everything attempted. 1t
is the sentiment of everybody that
a Fair Association he Immediately
organized and grounds located for
the purpose of holding a Fair from
year to year. 1t has already been
demonstrated beyond any question,
that Quay county is the a~gricultu.
raj center of Northeast New Mexi-
CO, and hat all sorts Of crops suit
ed to this altitude and latitude may
be successfully grown without ir-
ripation.

The News was pleased to see the
great interest these people took in
our county fair. These communi-
ties have doubled in population
this year, yes quadrupled, and the
class of settlers is such that New
Mexico may be proud OF them.
They are energetic and industrious
farmers and have located in our
country for the purpose of building
homes for themselves and their
children. The News wishes to
congratulate Montoya and Nara

If the farming business is going
to pay dividends to those engaged
in it in Quay county, there mast
be a market for the products we
raise. The farmer mu st either sci
or feed the stuff he produces on his
farm. While he can grow plenty to
eat, he can't wear corn, alfalfa and
pumpkins. There must be some
thing to bring to market, and 1t
must be by wagon haul, as the rail-
road freights are prohibitive when
it comes to moving stuff in COM
petition with grain, ETC., from
states further east. The vital ques-
ton is a market at home for what
we produce here, and the here is
no use for the farmer to expect it.
Then what are we going to do?
Why, the stockman says, feed it
to stock and ship the stock to the
market and get the money out OF
it that way. This is all we'll and
good, and the idea is going to be
adopted by many Of u farmers
in the future, and the next requisite
is that we need feeding pens and
men who understand the business
to buy and feed the cattle, hogs and
sheep. OF course we a feed a
great many at home and ship in
pools a few cars at a time, the total
number of shippers employing a
man to 60 with the stuff to market.
This We believe is worth consider
ing. The forage crop of Quay
county is this year worth many
thousands of dollars, and there
should be a market to create a de-
mand.

New machinery now being installed
and that to be added later win increase
the capacity of the Willamette Valley
Lumber Company's sawmill in this
city fully Is per cent The mill is cut
ting 10000 feet day at the present
time. With the new machinery in
operation, the daily output of lumber
will be increased to 10000 feet.
Manager George T. Gerlinger
informs the OBSERVER that new steam
headers are being placed on all Of the
boilers and that twin engine steam
feed will be installed this month. A
new main conveyor has been COM
| pieted between the mill and the refuse
burner. Another 10 by l2 donkey
engine from the Washington Iron
Works was sent out to the logging
camp few days ago.
The Willamette Valley mill is one
of the best Of its class in Oregon, and
it is being constantly improved and
enlarged. An excellent body of timber
is being logged in the mountains west
Of Falls City and a fine grade of
lumber manufactured. The mill is
kept running on full time, with a
plentiful supply of logs in the pond.
