There is d general impression that
the Jordan water which is used at
royal baptisms is taken from the sa-
cred stream. put into hottie, hermet-

the bottle is opened by the officiating

ranean is full of organic substances.
If Il bottle be filled with the water
and kept tightly corlled for a few
days it turns perfectly black and Of
fers to the nostriiS all the odors Of

this is why the baptismal water al
ways possesses the crystal clearness
which one notices On these ceremonial
occasions.-EIodcrn Society.

Fire and Water.

Water will extinguish fire because
the water forms 9 coating over the
fuel, which keeps it from the air, and
the conversion Of water into steam
draws off the heat from the burning
fuel. 4 little waters makes a fire
fercer, while a large quantity Of water
puts it out. The explanation is that
water is composed Of oxygen and by
drogen When, therefore, the fire can
decompose the water into its simple
elements it serves as fuel to the fame.

IOWA WOMAN APPEALS
TO POET IN VAIN
Miller's Mail Flooded With Begging
Letters of Every Kind-NIatrhmony,

The persistence with which many
people throughout the country beg
prominent persons for favors, and
the demands made upon the time of
men in public life and prominent po-
sitions, was demonstrated in this city
while Joaquin Miller was here this
week.
While in the city he received a
number of letters forwarded here to
him, begging for information, favors,
donations, gifts, letters of recon-
mendation, autographs, special po-
ems, letters for special programs
and entertainments and other sub
jects. Had he taken time to answer
all of them he would have needed a
secretary during his entire visit here.
However. among the long list of
begging letters received by the Poet
of the Sierras" while in this city is
one which he promptly answered. as
its subject demanded immediate at
tention.
The letter is from a woman in
Iowa and is as follows:
lie Mars, Iowa, June 20.
"Mr. Joaquin Miller:
"Dear Sir:-If you are a married
man yourself, do you know of a lit
erary man who wants wife If SINH

This is but a sample of the cores
pondence received by Mr.. Miller and
it is impossible for him to reply to
much of the stuff which floods his
mail.
