A VOICE FROM AUSTRALIA.

To THE EDITOR OF The JoURNAL:
The address of Mrs. Harrison Lee,
Worlds w. C. T. .. round-the world
missionary from Melbourne, Australia,
Thursday evening, Jan. Sd, in the
M. E. vestry was we'll attended, and
the speaker was frequently applauded.
She spoke from the standpoint of one
who is fighting toward Prohibition as
the goal, having tried license and found
it wanting. In her earlier work she
did not know there was such thing as
Prohibition, or total abstinence. She
thought the sin and poverty of those
among and for whom she worked were
simply because they took too much;
not knowing, as science has since
proved, that alcohol creates an appetite
for itself.
Attending a temperance meeting and
seeing a pledge card with the motto:
"We bind ourselves that others may
be Free" light came to her and from
that time she was total abstainer.
Working in her home town for s'full
reduction" the business men told her
that on business principles, they could
not vote for it. 1t is the same prin-
ciple that leads many man in Ameri-
ca to keep still, if his parishioners are
not in sympathy with actual temper

liquors, or for fear Of injury in some

time patronize the hosier and shoe
dealer. She told of the man who had
''signed the pledge till wages are riz."
He had been supporting the distiller's
family, the brewers family, the family
in the public house, while his own fami-
ly went cold and hungry. Speaking of
the marriage at Cana, where the Lord
turned water into wine, and the mis-
understanding concerning the nature
of that wine, Mrs. Lee told of the GUS
tom in the east of bottling the fresh
grape juice in skins. air tight. To this
day, for marriage ceremonies, the Jew
uses this unfermented juice of the
grapes. If he cannot get it he boils
raisins and uses the liquid thus OBJ

McClure's for January opens the
New Year with an astonishingly good
number, distinguished, as usual by the
clean-cut, vigorous tone of its articles,
and by fiction of marked excellence.
MARY Baker G. Eddy: the Story of
Her Life. and the History of Christian
Science" opens its first instalment in
manner that practically insures the
success of the serial with the American
public. Its tone is clear, conservative,
and incisive, and it presents the re-
markable story of Mrs. Eddy's child
hood and youth, and the early in
f1uences which nodded her career in a
narrative of absorbing interest. Carl
Schurz has an unusually strong article
describing his first meeting with Lin
coin. and the famous Lincoln-Douglas
debate at Quincy, Illinois. Eugene
Wood writes with irresistible humOr of
"The Drama in Our Town." Burton J.
Hendrick takes I up one of the most
striking social phenomena of our times

York. The fiction of the number is
unusually good.

HIS DEATH INVESTIGATED
BY CORONER WHITMORE

Coroner c. H. Whitmore was called
to Florence Saturday to investigate the
death OF Samuel Sharpnack Adamson,
who died at that place the previous
night from the effect of injuries receiv-
ed while trying to board moving
freight train near Portland in this
county Friday afternoon.
The train was going faster than Ad-
amson thought and he was unable to
maintain his hold and fell. breaking
his right arm In two places between
the wrist and elbow, fracturing his
right shoulder and injuring himself in
ternally. He managed to make his way
to a farm house and asked to be taken
to Florence where he could obtain the
services OF a physician. The request
was complied with and he was con-
veyed to DR.. Stevenson's once where
an examination of his Injuries was
made and where a hypodermic injec-
ton of morphine was given him to al
lay his suffering.
Between 3 and 10 o'clock he died
He was a resident of Fort Lupton,
Colo. and was on his way home from
El Paso, Tex. when the accident oc-
CURED. Deceased was twenty-three
years of age and was a lather and box
maker by trade. He was an itinerant
and travelled from one part OF the coun-
try to another. sometimes beating his
way on freight trains. He was a men,
ber of the Knights of Pythias at Fort
Lupton and a member Of the Lathers'
union at El Paso.
His death was SO palpably the re-
suit OF accident that no formal in-
quest was held. The remains were TAX

ent OF the Canon city schools, returned
here Sunday night from his annual
vacation at the old home at Fyan, Mo.
He reports a very pleasant summer
and says that with the exception of a
few days the weather was not uncom-
fortably warm. Mrs. Thompson is at
present visiting relatives at Nevada,
Mo-. and will not return here for sew
eral weeks. The schools here will re-
open the second week in September
and Prof. Thompson. will, in the mean
time, be a pretty busy man preparing
for that event The enrolment of pu-
pills in the Canon City schools this year
promises to surpass all previous regis
trations and the board of education is

CANE ON SANE TRAIN
FROM CALIFORNIA

Miss Edna Kennedy, who came home
Saturday afternoon from California
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. T. Wood and fam
lily, brought with her Miss Lottie Nc
Dowell of Okron, O., who will spend
several weeks here before continuing
her journey eastward. Miss Kennedy
and Miss Mcdowell are intimate
friends; their acquaintance having
begun when they we're children in Ne
braska, where their parents were
neighbors. When Miss Kennedy got
on the Union Pacific train at Ogden,
Utah, few days ago she was delight
ed to find Miss Mcdowell among the
passengers, who. it happened. was COM
ing to Canon City to visit her friends
The two girls had travelled one-third
the way across the continent together
but were unconscious of it until the
discovery was made at Ogden. Miss
Kennedy saw her friend at public
gathering at Los Angeles, but was un-
able to make her way to her on ac-
count Of the crowd and did not see her
again until the chance meeting in

a valve at the lower end. When the
velocity becomes high enough. this
valve closes automatically, and the
momentum of the water, whose flow
is thus suddenly stopped. is great
enough to force a small amount Of
the water through the smaller valve
near the end into the delivery pipe
leading to the house. AS soon as the
momentum is destroyed, the first
valve opens and the water flows
through it again. This process re-
peats itself Indefinitely. The area of
the delivery pipe should be run one
fourth to one-third that of the drive
pipe. A rough rule is that about one
seventh of the water flowing through
the drive pipe can be raised to a
height of about five times the fall in
the drive pipe. A smaller amount
could be raised higher. 1t is possible,
by properly selecting the sizes of the
pipes, with ten feet of fall. to raise
water to a height of from one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty feet
Since the water is forced through
the delivery pipe by series of pushes
and not by a steady force. it will be
best to connect this pipe with stor-
age tank, which will act as an equal
izer and maintain steady pressure at
all times throughout the house.
The ram, is expensive. requires
little attention. and needs few repairs.

KANSAS COLLEGE PROFESSORS
PERPETUAL NOTION SCHEME

The nearest approach to the per
petual idea comes from the Kansas
State Agricultural college, where Prof
Oscar Err has invented an endless
chain arrangement.
Prof. Err takes milk from the cows
has butter made from 1t, and then cop-
verts the buttermilk into a powder,
which he feeds back to the COWS. He
does not maintain, however, that the
new powder will quite satisfy the ap-
petites of the bovines.
The dried buttermilk contains about
70 per cent of protein, twice as much
as cottonseed meal, and can be manu-
factured for one and one-half cents q
pound. One hundred pounds Of butter
milk will make from nine to ten
pounds of the finished product
It is estimated that the waste OF
buttermilk in the creamsries Of Kan
sas amounts to half million pounds
daily. and 1t is figured that BY the
adoption Of the new scheme q savin&
Of 100000 can be made yearly in
Kansas alone.

HYDRAULIC RAMS.

Frequent requests are received at
the Colorado Agricultural College for
Information regarding the ways and
means OF supplying water for use
throughout a dwelling in those cases
where there is no public supply with
which connection may be made.
In some cases. the water may be
piped directly to q tank placed on top
OF the house. or on a tower nearby.
This, of course, presupposes that there
is a spring or stream from which the
water may be taken at q higher ele-
walton than that of the tank. II the
source is capable OF furnishing a con-
slant supply OF water as large or
larger than the household demands,
the tank may be unnecessary, the pipe
from the supply being connected di-
rectly with the house pipes.
There are many cases, however,
where the available supply is lower
than the point where 1t is needed. In
these cases, some kind of pump is
necessary to raise the water to the
required height, and for farm use, the
pump should be a. simple, ~ mex
pensive. an das easy to maintain a.
possible. For this use high mechAni-
cal efficiency Is not necessary.
The hydraulic ram. In many cases.
will satisfactorily perform this class
OF work. The conditions necessary
for the proper working Of the ram
are, a stream running nom six to
eight times as much water ~ will be
pumped. and the possibility OF getting
at least a foot and half OF fall In .

RADIO and Southern depot The carload
of powder that exploded was on the
Colorado and Northern tracks and was
being handled by the Colorado and
Northern railway and the C. & 8. had
nothing to do with it. The Colorado
and Northwestern is in the hands Of
a receiver and it would be almost inn
possible to secure damages even II 1t
were proved that the omcials Of that
road were negligent In leaving q car
load Of nitroglycerin In the heart Of
the city. On the other hand, there IN
no ordinance or law which prevents
railroad from leaving dynamite wher-
ever it pleases but the only chance for
damages would be In case 1t would Be
proved that the are resulted from neg
ligence on the part Of some Colorado
and Southern employe. Considerable
criticism Is being directed at both the
Colorado and Southern and the Colo
RADIO and Northwestern for not main
tanning watchmen in the yards during
the time of q strike. Although the
strike has been on almost two weeks
and q number Of minor incendiary mat
ters had been brought to the attention
Of both roads, neither road made any
attempt to secure the services of night
watchmen.
The resident section near the scene
Of the explosion and the entire bus
mess section has a dilapidated ap-
pearance. The windows are all out
and the openings are filled with boards.
1t will be two weeks before all Of the
windows have been replaced because
there is not enough plate glass in Col
orado to supply the amount needed by
Boulder alone.
An idea of the force Of the explo-
sion can be gained from the fact that
d. K Steinberg, living two and one
half miles southwest OF this city,
found a piece Of burnt timber four
feet long and four by six inches in
size in his barn lot. The piece of tim
Der was from the car in which the dy-
Mantle exploded.
