Railroad Shops Al Deer Lodge.

DEER LODGE, Nov. l6.-This city is
to get the shops of the Milwaukee
road for this section of the country.
When the new line was projected
through Montana the people of Deer
Lodge offered the road about 10 acres
of ground and a bonus of $40, 600 to
locate the shops at this place. The
road accepted the proposition and
bought l6O acres in addition. all in
connection with the donated ground,
giving it 200 acres. The lay of the
ground gave the road a mile Of track
age into and u of Deer Lodge and
about half a mile on the width for
s~idetr acks. One of the conditions of
the gift was that ground should be
broken in a mouth. Men are at work
on it now clearing off the brush.

BILLINGS, Nov. l5.-The entire beet
crop raised in the Yellowstone valley
will be harvested and at the sugar
factory by the end Of the present
month, unless some unexpected con-
tingency should arise. AT the present
time, however, the growers are com.
planning OF shortage Of cars in which
to transport the crops to Billings. AT
the various dumps along the railroad
thous ands of tons of beets are piled
in huge heaps, awaiting the necessary
cars. Old beet raisers state that the
present season for growing and har-
vesting has been the most ideal of any
ever experienced. The crop will be q
record breaker.

ANCIENT MYTH 10 EXPLODED.
Scientific Proof That Animals Do Not
Commit Suicide.

The supposed suicide Of animals
raises subtle problem, and to deny
1t Is to Fly In the face Of deep-rooted
popular belief II is just as much
a natural history myth. however, as
the hoard.headed belief in the adder
swallowing its young in time of peril,
the toad living in stone nodule for
thousands of years. or the germinat'
.ng powers OF mummy wheat The
most ancient felo de Sc verdict Of the
myth mongers relates to the habit OF
scorpions digging their stlngs into
their heads when unable to escape.
Experiments have proved the fall
lacy of the scorpions suicide, notably
those carried out some years ago by
DR.. +. Ray Lancaster, director of the
natural history department Of the Brit
ish Museum. and Prof. Bourne Of
Madras, Scorpions were confined in
an extremely hot place from which es
cape was impossible, and their frantic
gymnastics were carefully studied
with serene and philosophic com
placency As in the case Of the tor
tured rattlesnake biting its own body
the action Of the scorpion in an APP
parent attempt TO put an end TO It's
sufferings by singing its head was
purely muscular. and DR.. Lancaster
himself compared the action to the
biting the dust attributed to men
who die in hand to hand struggles, or
to the biting Of their own hand or arm
BY unhealthy children in a paroxysm
OF anger.
That animals bring about their own
deaths by violent and abnormal ao'
lions Is certain, but If oil the Contrib.
utory causes could be ascertained It
would probably be found that they
did so under the pressure of some
torturirg pain producing hysterical
madness.

At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the British army had bad
reputation at home and II was very
difficult to get recruits for It. For this
reason It was officially proposed to
ind the men By an impressment fall
ing on any sturdy beggar, fortune
teller or the like idle, unknown. sus.
pected fellow in the parish or II there
be none such, then anyone that has al
ready been In a gaol or before jus.
tice OF the peace for his idle. disorder
~ life" The advice was acted upon.
Debtors were released from prison on
promising to join the army or the
navy criminals were pordoned on the
same terms, and persons with no Wis.
ible means of subsistence were
marched of to death and glory. The
system worked out better than might
have been expected In the peninsular
war. for instance. three new regi'
ments we're composed entirely OF con-
victs. and one made for itself an H.
lustrious name.

BOILED WINE TASTED GOOD.
Champagne Heated in the San Fran.
cisco Fire Has Fine Flavor.

At the time OF the San Francisco
fire 100, 900 quart bottles OF choice Cal
ifornia champagne boiled for over As
hours In 100000 gallons of sherry.
The result was the production OF TO-
900 quarts of champagne OF rare flavor
at cost. however, never before ex-
pended on like quantity.
The sherry was contained In 10000
gallon casks on the upper floors OF
the building Of the California Wine
association. The fire destroyed the
casks and the food Of sherry poured
into the cellars. where were stored
the 100000 bottles of wine. The
fury of the names soon heated the
sherry to boiling point, and the boil.
ing continued for two days and nights.
When cooled the sherry was found to
be filled with extraneous matter and
worthless, so 1t was pumped ont into
the streets. Then II was found that
10000 of the bottles Of champagne
were unbroken. and that the unpar.
alleled process had impaired to the
wine rare flavor. Wine experts are
now testing out the boiling process
and the result may be n revolution OF
the methods of this industry.

THE Germans actually do regard
