ANCIENT LIGHTHOUSES.
Beacon Lights For Mariners COeval
With the Earliest Commerce.

Beacon Lights For Mariners COeval
With the Earliest Commerce.
Beacon lights to guide the wave
tossed mariner to safe harbor must
have been almost coeval with the earli
est commerce. There Is positive record
that lighthouses were built In ancient
times, though few evidences now re-
main to US from old writer's or in crum-
bled ruins. This is not strange, for light
towers, never the most stable architec.
tural form, were exposed to the storms
of sea and war.
The Greeks attributed the first light.
houses to Hercules, and he was consid.
cred the protector Of voyagers. 1t is
claimed by some that Homer refers to
lighthouses in the nineteenth book Of
the ''Iliad."
Virgil mentions light on a templs
to Apollo which, visible far out at sea,
warned and guided mariners. The Co
lossus at Rhodes, erected about 800
B. c., is said to have shown a signal
light from its uplifted hand.
The oldest towers known were built
by the Libyans In lower Egypt They
were temples also, and the lightkeeper
priests taught pilotage, hydrography
and navigation. The famous tower on
the isle OF Pharos at Alexandria, built
about 2S6 B. G., is the first lighthouse
of undoubted record. This tower, con-
structed by Sostratus, xhe architect
was square in plan, OF great height and
built In offsets. An open braEier at th<
top OF the tower contained the fuel foe
The light. At Dover and Bouiogne, On
either side Of the English channel, were
ancient lighthouses built By the 10
mans. But the lighthouse at Coruna,
Spain, built In the reign Of Trajan and
reconstructed in 1884 10 believed to be
the Oldest existing lighthouse.

The Hummfnx Bird Flower.

Alletedo avasisis, the wonderful 30
called 'humming bird flower Of the
plains of eastern Turkey, stands unique
and alone among the many specimens
of floral mimicry that have been classi-
fed by modern botanists. II is a beau
uful blossom Of variegated hues. the to-
tai length Of the entire flower being
about one and three-Quarter inches. As
one might imagine from Its name, 1t Is
an exact image of a miniature hum
ming bird. The breast is green, the
wings deep rose color, the throat vel.
low and the head and beak almost pure
black. The only particular In which It
is not a perfect bird is that the stem
gives it the appearance of having but a
single leg and foot.

WE'RE PRIZE WINNERS IN
GOVERNMENT LAND DRAWING

Horace and Fred Cammack of Lin
coin Park, who left here a month or
more ago for Idaho for the purpose
of taking part in the government land
drawing on the division of the Sho-
shone Indian reservation, were among
the prize winners and are believed to
have obtained some valuable property
n that way. A letter was received
by Messrs. Felter and Cramer from
the former on Thursday in which he
states that his brother Fred drew No.
. in the contest and that No. 212 fell
% himself. both OF which, he asserts,
call for a quarter section of highly
productive agricultural land.
Mr.. Cammack says that he is rapidly
recovering from the effects of the at
tack OF typhoid fever he had last
;pring and expects soon to be stronger
than ever. He is enthusiastic over
the agricultural outlook in that por-
tion fthe west. At present the Cam

no DEPRECIATION IN VALUE
OF PROPERTY WILL FOLLOW

In spite of the doeful howl on the
part OF the saloon element that At
lanta, Georgia, would materially suffer
from the closing OF the saloons. the
citizens are taking no such view Of
the situation. The saloons have been
occupying some of the most desirable
property in the city. Merchants and
real estate dealers are endeavoring to
secure the leases OF such property. So
great is the demand that one saloon
keeper Is asking a bonus of $500.
Property adjoining the saloons has
already enhanced in value.
A dispatch to the Birmingham News
says: Before the prohibition bill
was passed. real estate men. as a rule,
opposed the measure, on the ground
that It would vacAte many stores In
Atlanta. as we'll as residences. They
sound q different tone now. and some
of them have come out openly in the
papers and declared that they do not
believe there will be any occasion for
alarm. They are forced to admit this
in face Of the big demand for leases.
At the present time the demand for
residences Is said to be greater than
the supply, and evidences OF the saw
and hammer may be seen In every

could hardly be called a meeting. 1t
was more like a reunion of brothers.
Forty-four years ago they as young
boys left the Centennial state and
went to the front
1t is a well known fact that Colorado
sent more soldiers to the Civil war ac-
cording to her population than any
other state in the union. She sent one
out of five of her residents, men, wo-
men and children counted. In other
words 20 per cent of the entire pOpu-
alton went to the front to help save
the country. At yesterdays meeting
these veterans who had come from all
over the United States, spent most of
the time talking about the war days
and early history.
W. D, Beatty, the secretary, told of
having received letter from old John
Gordon yesterday, and this was the
first word they had heard from him
since the battle of Gettysburg. 1t was
thought he was killed but it seems
that he was captured and drifted into
a southern state and almost forgot
his Colorado friends until, when near
life's close, he sent Beatty a letter.
and it was singular that it was re-
ceived only the day before the vet
Grams meeting.
Other incidents of similar nature
were just as inspiring and caused just
as many tears as did the letter from
Gordon. U. P. Scott of Davenport,
Iowa. travelled 1000 miles to attend
the meeting.
Near the close officers were elected
for the ensuing year. They are:
President, Milo H. Slater: first vice
president, VIM. H. Smith; second vice

HUNTERS LIKELY TO KILL
OFF ALL DEER IN COLORADO

The carcasses of thirty-four deer
passed through Salida in the express
car attached to Denver & Rio Grande
train No. last Wednesday morning,
and all the way from fifteen to thirty
have gone through every day for the
past week. These deer were killed
In the White river country, where
game is plentiful and where hunters
congregate from all parts of the Uni
ted States. AT this rate, deer like the
buffalo, will socn be matter of his
tory and a source OF regret that they
were not better protected To be sure
here are only twenty days of an open
;eascn, yet during this time the wilds
are full of hunters and the deer mus
be wary indeed TO escape all OF them
The number killed about Salida has
been comparatively small thus far
when the number OF hunters are con
sidered. About twelve have beer
brought in up to date.

PREPARES FOR LEGAL ATTACK
ON COLORADO COAL TRUST

intended to bring a common law suit
against the coal trusts In this state

ton preventing the individual mem-
bers OF the trust from organizing for
the purpose Of controlling the coal
trade. 1853 ..4 -.Ig. e- - -
For some time the attorney general
has been collecting evidence to use
in suit against the. coal trust and
he appreciates very much the assist
ance that has been rendered him by
the individual citizens OF the state
who have had occasion to furnish
him this evidence.
While he has not as yet enough evi-
dence to warrant the starting OF a
suit. still he believes that within q
few days the enemies Of the trust will
have furnished him with enough to
warrant 1t and he viii start the suit
just as soon as he can.

The fruitful activity in experimental
metallurgic work during recent years
for both scientinc and commercial
purposes. especially in electro-metal-
lurgy. has made possible the reduc-
ton Of metals that were before un-
utilized and almost unknown. The
determination of the properties Of
these metals has suggested uses for
them. with the result that there II q
growing demand for ores that but q
few years ago were sought only as
mineral curosities.
Ono of the most remarkable Of these
metals ID tatalum. 1t IL not attacked
by hydrochloric. nitric, or sulphuric
aclde. aqua regia, or alkaline solu-
lions. It can be drawn into nne wire
having tensile strength greater than
soft steel. A red hot lump Of tan
talum may be at once hammered into
q plate, which on repeated rehammer-
ing, becomes as hard as diamond. A
diamond drill running continuously
for three days at 5000 revolutions q
minute failed to penetrate such .
plate. although 1t was but one milli-
meter thick, while the drill was much
worn.
A British patent has been obtained
for making writing pens from tanta-
. lum. whose hardness. elasticity. and
resistance to corrosion would seem to

TantAlum IL now employed princi-
pally as q fliament in an electric in

lamp consumes but two watts per
candlepower. as against more than
three watts per candlepower for the
