4 QUEER CAL CULATloN.
The Power That Would Be Required
TO Move tiie Earth.

~ Move ZIG EaFCns s5s
Statisticians sometimes have queer;
Ideas. One of them amused himself
by calculating how much energy, water
and coal 1t would take to move the
earth q foot, supposing that it was sub
3Jected throughout its mass to a force
equivalent to terrestrial gravitation.
This Is a gratuitous supp osition, for In
spite Of Its enormous mass the earth
weighs nothing W.
Starting with the fact that the
earth's mass is about G, 100 million
million-milIien tons, our statistician
calculates that we should require TO-
s00e, o00, 900 years for a 10000 horse
power engine to move our globe "a foot
The boiler that should feed this engine
would vaporize a quantity Of water
that would cover the whole face of the
globe with a layer 800 feet deep. The
vaporization Of this water would re-
quire 1000 million M llion tons Of coal
This coal. carried in ears holding ten
tons each and having total length Of
thirty feet, would require 400 Million
million cars, which wbuld reach So
600 600 times around the earth. This
train, moving at the rate OF forty
miles an -Four, would take more than
5, 0OO, coo years to travel its own
| length It would require for storage a
shed that would cover 1000 times the
/ area of Europe.

huge amount Of energy is nothing at

sesses III virtue Of its rotation about its

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
Breaks Glass, Shakes Buildings and
 Jars Nerves.

A large part of the population of Yuma were startled by i terrific explo- sion about nine o'clock Monday night. The scene of the explosion was at Sev- enth street and Second avenue, near to where the city chain gang has been doing somo grading. The city's tool chest is tor was located there and in the chest with the tools was quantity Of dynGniite, which in some mysterious manner was "Iouched off. Glass was broken in every house in the vicinity aud the shock was felt and the e&plO- sion heard miles distant. Beyond the breaking of window glass and destruc- tion of the chest and tools no damage was done. Percussion caps were also in the t0ol chest, and a possible theory of the explosion is that the tools had been placed in the box loosely and aftefward settled down, causing a pick, shovel or crow-har to fall sufficient distance onto a cap to explode it.

OLD MAN JONES KILLED
 LYNN DE SPAIN WOUNDED
Dead Elan Refused Water to ProSpecsOrs.
A DUEL ON THF DESERT.

Reports of a desert tragedy in which the Despair boys tock leading roles reached Yuma last Friday. Later and authenticated news is to the effect that Lynn Despair was wounded and Old Man Jones was instantly killed by Will DeSpair in fight at Baer's Wells, on Monday of last week, over the refusal of Jones to let them have water from the well.
 The Despair brothers left Yuma some two weeks ago on ;l prospecting trip, partly, aud to look after their claims in the Cuartzsite district. Reaching Baer's Wells, twelve miles east of Quartzsite, they were badly in need of water, but Old Man Jones, al- though proIfered payment, refused to -let the boys draw any from the well. Being nearly faEished for water, they proceeded to help themselves. As Linn DeSpain drew up a bucket Jones opened up on him with d shotgun at close range, wounding him, and then turned the weapon oH Will IJeSpain, who then shot Jones, killing him in- stantly. Lynn was not dangerously wounded, and Ut last accounts was at IIouce and getting along nicely.
 It seems remarkable that such an occurrence as this could have taken place in Arizona. That any one should refuse water 50 famished travellers on the desert seems almost incredible. We have never heard of such a/case before. As to the DcSpain boys, they are good citizens, peaceable and law abiding, and only some such extreme prOvOcatiOn as noted above could in- duce either of them to take human life. They were certainly justified in help ing themselves to the water, and the killing of Jones was plainly in self defense.

Closing Intake Rapidly.

Very rapid progress is being made in closing the break in the Colorado below the line. The dumping of rock into the gap began last Sunday afternoon on a gigantic scale, and there has been no cessation since then, night or day, even for an hour about 1000 cars having been emptied up to this time. A rock tram of 80 loaded cars passed here today. Three feet of water is now flowing down the old channel and, barring an unusual rise in the river, the gap will be entirely closed within a week or ten days.

Injured ih Runaway.

While Nr. c. l.. Hickman, the pho- tographer, with his niece and his little girl were out riding Sunday afternoon, the horse they were driving became frightened at an automobile near the c"rner of First and Main and ran away. The runaway dashed madly up Main street but turned east at Third, and here Mr. Hickman was thrown out. Two of his ribs were broken and it was feared he sustained internal injuries. The frightened horse continued his flight until brought to a sudden stop by running ID against ''Stick house" at Maiden Lane and Third street, the little girls retaining their seats throughout. Though badly scared, they were not in the least injured.
