To Explore Bottom of Lake.

1t is anticipated that active steps WI
soon be taken to recover the ancient gall
leys which lie at the bottom OF Lake
Nemi, Italy. 1t is probable that the Ital-
ian government will adopt the plan pro-
posed by Prof. Giuria. which by many
is considered the most practical plan OF
all. 1t is certainly the cheapest to carry
out. Prof. Giura would make Use of the
old Roman aqueduct, which is still in fair
working order, and employ two powerful
pumps TO carry the water \ double pipes
across the valley of Ariccia, where il will
drive an electric plant, which, in turn, is
to supply the energy for the pumps
When the water has been sufficiently low
cred to permit dry working Prof. Giuria
purposes to raise the galleys by an in
clined plane from the bed where they lie
to the shore. By building a skeleton era
die in iron, with double runners around
each barge, he believes he might bring
them to land without damage to the
structures.

DIGGING FOR ToURMALINE.
How the Mines of Burma Are Work
ed-Some Rare Finds.

From the London GloDe.
Tourmaline is beautiful mineral
known according to it's color by varic y
of names. The red is rubellite the pale
blue or blush black is indicolite. the
Berlin blue is called by jewelers. Brazil
bian emerald, and so on.
''Tourmalne is found in separate
crystals in the interstices of hard granite
looking rock. AS a consequence men with
no means find it occasionally profitao.e
when they have leisure to dig down eight
or ten feet on the off chance of finding
some not very valuable bits says c. S,
George, deputy commissioner, Ruby Mines
District, Burma. This system is called
Kathe talk or Katie system, after the
idea of the original ruby diggings at
Kathe. The next method is the ordinary
Twinlon method of sinking a vertical
shaft about four or five feet square. by
custom the owner of the shaft is entitled
to extend his workings underground any
where to a radius of five fAthomS from
the center of the shaft.

far as possible, subject to the five fathom
limit alluded to above. What, however,
makes the mining so exciting and at the
same time keeps the industry fiuctuating
is that the tourmaline crystals are only
found internationally in the vein.

one yard, and then they Will unaccountably

but it is all toss up as to whether. when
the vein is reached, there will be tc:rma-

absolutely different results, and it is cal
culated that at least two-thirds of the
shafts sunk yield nothing at all, while
only an occasional one is at all rich
OF the siXty-two Twinlons at II" time
of Mr.. Georges visit only three were
yielding. and of these only one had traces
of the best quality stone. The veins are
fairly deep down, none having ever been
reached at a lesser depth than nine faith
oms. while an ordinary depth is forty
or fifty cubits; when the vein takes
a downward direction it is followed as
far possible, but that is rarely over
about sixty cubits, for at that depth the
foulness of the air puts the lamps out.

pure speculation where to dig" said Mr..
George. AS the whole place is covered
with jungle. prospecting anyway would
be laborious. There have been three finds,
each causing rush. The first was seven

Deaths From Alcoholism in France


Alcoholism in France is held to be enc
of the most terrible scourges of the pres
ent day and is also apparently one of the
chief causes of DEATH Two years ago the
Academic de Medicine invited members
of the medical societies to collect statis-
tics of all deaths in their wards.
NJ. Fernet has communicated sum-
mary of these statistics and finds that
during the last fifteen months among a
total of over 1,5O0 deaths occurring in
eleven different hospitals and asylums
alcohol played a part in the cause of
death IN one-third of the cases. 1t was
the principal cause in one-tenth of the
deaths and it was the accessory cause in
more than two-tenths. Alcohol showed a
still greater influence on mortality in
asylums than In the general hospitals.
At the Aslie Saint Anne thirty out of
sixty-three consecutive deaths were
among alcoholics. In asylums generally
alcohol was the cause of disease and
death in nearly half the male cases and
in one-siXth of the female cases.

SUCCESSFUL REVEALS
Meetings Close on Thursday Evening
With Large Number Present.

Rev. F. 7. Conner closed the very
successful series of revival on Thurs
day night. All the churches cooper
ated in the success of the meetings
and through them much good was
done not only to the members of the
churches but to others. Many have
been brought to a sense of their own
unworthiness and it is expected that
there will be large accessions to the
churches as a result. The interest
grew throughout the meetings and
had it not been FOR the near approach
Of commencement week they would
undoubtedly been continued.
Rev. Conner is man of fine pres
ence, fearless man. sound logician
and an earnest Christian. The success
of the meetings was greatly aided by
the splendid singing lead by Evange-
list Sharp. Rev. w. E. Bryce of the
Presbyterian church devoted all his
time and energy to the success of the
meetings and he is to be congratulate
ed ON the good that has been accom-
plished.

SID GREEN HEARD FROM.

1t is reported on good authority
that Sid Green is returning some of
the money lost by depositors in the
Dow City Bank failure. AS the
checks come unannounced the Dow
City post-office will doubtless be filled
with anxious ones waiting to be next.
After all there is a question as to
whether it would be better to have
Green confined in the penitentiary
paying the penalty of his guilt. or at
large. earning money to repay the
losers. At present the recipients are
glad that Green is at large and pro-
badly the majority of the other de-
positors will be if there is show to
get their money back. While it is
no more than right that this money
should be restored, the exiled banker
must certainly be given credit for his
attempts at restoration. 1t is pos
sibIe that Green's whereabouts might
now be located. but Dow City people
would hardly encourage such an effort
so long as the checks keep coming.

SERMON TO GRADUATES.

The baccalaureate sermon was Civ
en- by Rev. Bryce at the Presbyterian
church on Sunday evening. The church
was packed by fine audience. The
sermon topics announced was "The
Potency of A Purpose" and the adj
dress was based on the career of
Daniel while in captivity. Daniel pur-
posed in his heart to keep from eat
ing food which his religion said was
not good. and he continue to worship
God despite the kings decree to the
contrary. Rev. Bryce urged that the
graduates purpose to do right and
stand firm. A most touching part of
the sermon was the reference to the
conversion of Prof. Savage and the
example his life set to the pupils.
The sad death of Clarence Schooley
was not forgotten. Rev. Bryce is a
gifted man in his line of work.

BIG LOSS AVERTED.
Early Morning Fire Threatens
Great Property Loss.
THE FIREMEN DO GOOD WORK
Fineran Blacksmith Shop In Ruins but
implement Warehouse is Saved
BY Prompt Effort.

Again Denison has escaped SER
ious confagration. Early on Satur-
day morning Mr.. S. NJ. Thew saw
flames coming from the Fineran
blacksmith shop on the corner of Main
and Chestnut. He turned in an alarm
at once and the firemen responded
with utmost promptness. The fire
had tremendous Roadway when first
seen and the fact was at once recog-
nized that the building and contents
could not be saved.
The large warehouse occupied by
the implement department of The
Stewart Lumber Company was just
north of tile burning building and
when the fremen arrived the south
wall of this building was already in
flames. Prompt working in the in
tense heat soon checked this fire and
water was played upon the shop and
the flames were soon in subsection.
So fierce was the heat that the family
of Mr.. John Waite living across the
street to the south feared that their
home would be destroyed and they
removed their household goods. Other
families in the neighborhood were
also greatly alarmed for the safety
of their homes. Had the fire occurred
before the rains of last week there is
little doubt but that the fire would
have amounted to contlagration and
that large portion of our business
district would have been destroyed.
The building was owned by j T..
Carey and was uninsured Mr.. Carey
tells US that he we will not rebuild
at this time as he does not believe
the demand for such building would
pay for the investment. The contents
of the shop which was a we'll appoint
ed blacksmith shop containing much
good machinery was owned by the
Finnern Bros. The contents of the
shop was insured. How the fire
started is mystery. The rapidity
of the fire and the fact that it SEEM
ed to be all over the building at the
same time would almost indicate in
cendiarism. There was a tank con-
tanning about eight gallons of gaso-
line buried in the north end of the
building but this did not explode and
was found intact after the fire. Pro-
violence and our excellent fire COM
pany are to be thanked for the fact
that no further damage was done and
that Denison was spared a serious
catastrophe.
