Promoutorio Progressing.

From Messrs. H. s. and c. w. Eberle, who are in from Promon- torio, THE OASIS has learned that work at that camp is progressing very satisfactorily, both in the new property, La Abundancia, , and in the "Promontorio" itself. Work is pushing vigorously at both mines, which are separated by a distance of about four miles. Upon the Promontorio the work ing shaft, which was down about 200 feet, is being sunk to greater depths, the work being done by contract, three S-hour shifts being employed. The mill is running steadily, producing two tons of concentrates every ten hours, and the concentrates produced are com ing to Nogales for shipment, along with the high grade ores. A pack train of fifty animals is kept nov ing every day, bringing in ores and concentrates. Many more could be used, but the number named is all that can be got.
 A contract has been let to sink a double compartment shaft upon La Abundancia, and 1t is now down about ffty-five feet. Going down from above it will intersect the first and second tunnel levels. In all three tunnel levels large bodies of high grade shipping ore are being opened, and in new opening on the ledge 600 feet away from the shaft good shipping ore is coming out. By the work done already this ore body is demon strated to be 400 feet or more in length. Some of the ores coming from this property show as high as 42% copper.
 The concentrates and ores com ing forward are accommodating at Nogales, and very shortly there will be received sufficient to load two cars, when all will be for warde 2.

A young man from the country was lazily ambling along certain street in Washington, when he stopped In front of an engine house and looked in.

 At that instant there came an alarm. At the first stroke of the gong the men ran to their posts, the doors of the stalls opened, the horses ran out and were quickly hitched to the engine and hose cart, and within a few seconds men, horses and apparatus were out of the doors and speeding down the street. The young man watched the perform ance with undisguised admiration.

Tha Eara of Insects.

Simply because a bee has no ears on the sides of It's head 1t Is no sign what ever that 1t Is wholly without some sort of an auditory nerve. This Is proved by the fact that grasshoppers, crickets, locusts and files all have theif ears situated in queer places-under the wings, on the middle of the body and even on the sides of their lega The common house fly does its hearing by means of some little rows of corpus cles which are situated on the knobbed threads which occupy the place which are taken up by the hind wings of oth- CT species of insects- The garden slug or shelless snail has Its organs of hear ing situated on each side of its neck, and the common grasshopper has them on each of It's broad, flat thighs h some of the smaller insects they are at the bases of the wings and In others on the bottom of the feet-scrantoa Truth

BREAD MADE OF TURNIPA
Excellent Substitute Found at Tine
 of Wheat Crop Failure.

Excellent Substitute Found at Tine
 of Wheat Crop Failure.
 What might in all seriousness be ciassed among the "lost arts' is tho varied use of vegetables The pres ent generation eats them either raw or simply cooked, the most complex preparation being In the form of pie or pudding. A century ago man multi piled their uses with a great deal of wisdom and ingenuity. From the Chi- nese radish was drawn a superior oil, excellent for table use as well as for light and medicinal purposes. The parsnip furnished a delectable wine. while from the fresh starch of pota- toes was made a good size, which by mixture with chalk formed an excel lent material for stucco workers
 The most noteworthy use of vegeta. bles, however, seems to have been In the making of bread. At time of fall ure in the wheat crop 1t was demon strated that good bread could be made from turnips. They are first prepared as a vegetable, cleaned and cooked In the usual way. When mashed a great CT part of the water Is pressed out of them and the pulp then mixed with an equal quantity in weight of wheat meal. The dough Is set to rise with yeast and then treated in the usual manner-kneaded, made into loaves and baked. The bread Is found to be lit tie sweeter than the regulation kind, but fully as light and white. If cut immediately 1t will taste of the turnip, but to no Hsagreeable extent, while in twenty -four hours after baking all trace of the vegetable will have disap- peared.
 If turnips can be used for bread, why not parsnips, carrots potatoes, or any farinaceous tuber? The potato pudding and the sweet potato pie have very little taste of the respective roots from which they are made, and this quality should be still less noticeable In the case of hread

Flour Preserved by Compre.sion.

In England much interest has been shown of late by the army and navy authorities In a new method of preserv- ing flour by means of compression. With hydraulic pressure apparatus the flour Is squeezed into the form of bricks, and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure destroys all forms of larval life, thus preserving the flour from the ravages of insects, while 1t is equally secure from mold Three hundred pounds of compressed flour occupy the same space as 100 pounds of -four in the ordinary state.
