Natural Steam Power.

Harvesting the winds and tides and
currents has done so much to increase
mans ability that it is natural for in
ventors to think of still further tapping
the natural forces Of the universe to
make machinery go With gas and oil
shooting up from internal reservoirs
under perfect control. the possibility
of utilizing the earth's internal heat to
create steam, which may be pipel to
the surface. does not seem a physical
absurdity. On this point the American
Inventor of recent date says:
1t is not merely a question of getting
steam. but a question OF the quantity of
steam to be had. The great difficulty Is
not in obtaining steam from the interior
of the earth. because that involves mere
~ little extra labor in boring down
into the hot area, and 1t is comparatively
as easy to bore down 10000 feet as 5000.
but in order to give the steam CONNER
cial value a method must be provided for
dropping the water to the hot area. al
lowing it time to heat and yet having it
returned to the earth's surface without
interrupting its flow for moment.
Judged by experiments in this line.
it will cost $4,000 a mile to run pipe
down where the temperature is 240 de-
grees and upward and about $4,000 to
insure full supply and turn it Oh to
motor on the earth's surface. Cold wa
ter would flow down one pipe ard ex-
ert a pressure to help force the steam
upward. This done. the subterranean
water heater would operate ITSELF" this
paper adds, "and source of power be
established surprising anything now
in use"

The first game of baseball of the
season was played yesterday, Leav-
enworth coming down and going
against a local aggregation. From
what can be learned, the score was
10 to s in favor of the Wenatchee
boys.
Saturday, the day before the
game, representative of the Wenat-
chez team kindly came in and gave
the World the local lineup, with sucl:
other information as he had about
the game for Sunday. The World il;
glad to get this baseball news, and to
publish all matters of interest about
the great game. But it can indulge
in no mind-reading. Yesterday S
score by innings is not given for the
reason that it could not be obtained
this morning. If the boys wish Il e
games given proper mention they
must supply this Office with the nee
essary information.

BRIDGE INSPECTOR IN TOWN
Says Bridge May BE Open by October
Thinks They Lack Or
ganization.

A. l.. Preston, for many years
with the bridge construction of the
G. n, arrived in Wenatchee yester-
day and will be in town until the
completion of the new bridge and
acQueduct.
Mr.. Preston relieves Assistant En-
gineer McAuley, and will act as in
spector on behalf OF the railroad
company during the completion of
the bridge work. He is really in the
employ of the Great Northern though
local people speak uf the builders of
the new structure now beginning to
span the Columbia as the Wenatchee
Bridge company.
Mr.. Preston is one of the oldest
and best known bridge men in the
country, having been for more than
25 years in this one line of work. In
1882 he superintended the construc-
ton of the Pondrey bridge at Albany
Falls, near Spokane. He was for
years with the American Bridge COM
pany, and is familiar with the work
done by that company throughout
the United States.
When asked by the World man as
to when he thought the present
structure might be completed, Mr.
Preston said that in his opinion it
would be some time in October, or
possibly later, before the new bridge
is open to traffic. They seem to
lack organization said Mr. Preston.
so far as the supply of material and
labor is concerned, they are having
no difficulty that l know of, but I'M
der the working organization which
they have now, don't see how they
can get through the job much before
October, if then"

NORTH YAKIMA, April Sen

NORTH YAKIMA, April Sen
ator Robert NJ. LaFollette delivered
his lecture, Representative Govern

lecture bureau last night. In speak
ing of the amendments he had Offer
ed in the senate, clothing the inter-
state commerce commission with
charging more for short hauls than
long ones, and also the right to as
certain the value of railroads in or

that if that amendment had become
law Spokane would not now be fight
ing before the commission at Port
land for fair rates. Upon request
from some one in the audience SEN
ator LaFolette read the roll call on
the amendments, disclosing that
Washington senators voted against
the amendment. Senator LaFollette
said:

in the vicinity of Chelan butte to
enable the prospectors to ascertain
just the extent of the vein, etc. But
from all appearances now the strike
seems to be a very rich one, and
there is no little excitement aroused.
Numerous people of Chelan and VI
entity have visited the new find,
and prospecting has received con-
siderable impetus.
1t is still impossible to say how
big the vein may prove, though az
now exposed it shows a quartz. vein
of from two to three feet, and one
small lump of quartz, no larger than
pair of fists, was estimated to
contain more than 500 worth of
the yellow metal.
Messrs. Hum, Heller and Burn
ham located the claim, and they say
that if it turns out only one-half
or one-fourth of what they really
think they have, that it will be a
great strike.
Specimens of the ore are now on
exhibition at the Comemrcial club,
where they are attracting consider
able notice They were brought to
town by Attorney Rusk.

Discretion In Juries.

It will be unfortunate if the eff1cfen-
cy of the jury system is brought into
question by verdicts which are not
strictly in accordance with the facts
before the court Very often accused
persons assume that their fate rests
with the jury rather than with the law
in the case, as though the twelve good
and true men might be swerved by
considerations other than regard for
the enforcement of the law. We car
not have ideal jurors and ideal YER
diets without q healthy public opinion.
The jurors come from the people and
go back among the people. The in
tent of the system is that the accused
shall have the judgment of his fellows,
any one of whom might be in the same
plight but for circumstances. 1t may
be unfair to consider this feature of it
loyalty to the individual instead of
loyalty to society. Said Judge Strong,
THE state. the public, have an interest
In the preservation Of the liberties and
the lives of citizens and will not allow
them to be taken away without due
process Of law when forfeited, as they
may be, as punishment for crime"
Discretion is given to judge by
the system of minimum and maximum
penalties. Often he would make the
sentence harsher or lighter If the law
would permit Jurors recommend a
measure Of mercy not called for by
the verdict, and without doubt law
yers on both sides are guided by a
conscientious regard for society more
often than is popularity supposed.
The law of capital punishment is per-
haps correctly believed to incline Jurors
to leniency in many cases, Often it
becomes question of taking a useful
life to make good the loss of life that
society is well rid of. in cases of this
kind the exercise of discretion by the
jury meets with public approval. and
it is taken for granted that the princi-
pie will not be abused. The spirit Of
the laws is wholesome and aims at the
reign of Justice. The application OF
them in the same spirit is possible
where men look upon law as an instru-
ment Of government and not as yoke
to be borne at every sacrifice.

Odd Causes OF Death.

Although 1t was the dropping Of an
icicle that caused the death of Trolley
Conductor Menzer in the strange fatal
fly at Niagara Falls, the accident was
perfectly natural and Legitimate
according to the standard set up by
students Of probabilities. Menzer was
railroad man whose duties took him
in the way of the icicle which hap
pened to drop and find him where he
had been again and again. The ex-
pert on probabilities warns fiction writ
! ers not to call in any efficient means of
taking human life that occurs to them
when it is necessary to remove a char
acter For instance, .chimneys some
times fall and kill people. but the the
natural" when there is some real con-
nection between the victims presence
at the time of the fall of the chimney,
some fOreshadowing of the event by
association of the instrument of death
with the person whose removal must
come out naturally as well as oppor
tunity for the purpose of fiction.
A thing so insignificant as a carpet
tack has been known to cause the death
of strong man who stepped on it
point upward. One innocent umbrella
caused the death of two men. While
alighting from a street car the owner
of the umbrella accidentally thrust the
tip into the eye Of fellow passenger,
causing his death. The owner died
from chagrin and worry over what he
considered objectionable clumsiness.
Accidents of this kind would not be
considered probable for the purposes of
fiction. But the element of probability
was not lacking in the case of the
Wall street broker, killed by single
brick falling from the top story of the
New York Tribune building during the
recent work ON that structure. The
broker passed the place twice daily on
his route from his own office to the
Brooklyn bridge. He often lodged
speeding autos and trolley cars on the
trip, but there was no chance to dodge
a brickbat coming from the upper air.

July 4. 16O0.


Noble memories cluster about the
lake which Samuel de Champlain dis
covered July 4. 1909. Champlain was
governor Of Canada and, being out on
an Indian raid. stumbled upon the beau
tiful stretch Of water which was to
play a part in the history making strug-
giles of later times. incidentally the
raid which led Governor Champlain to
the shores of the lake had bearing
upon the course Of events which deter
mined the political fate Of the present
border land between Canada and the
United States.

nize in Canada at the time Of the dis

cradle fstle, few days ago deliver
ed the following reflections on the
modern woman:
1T would seem that woman's ma
ture is undergoing very considerable
notifications in the twentieth cen
tury. The gentleness, spirit of de-
pendence and sweet reasonableness
that used to distinguish the sex are
giving place to love of advertisement
and a taste for unseemly scenes of
rowdyism and violence. The doves
are changing into eagles. These
changes in the nature of women have
been forced on my attention by what
is constantly occurring in the police
court
Father Bernard Shaw, the eminent
Catholic priest, whose chastising of
the sins of society has brought him
into notice. discussing Judge Plow-
den's statement, said one thing was
certain--women were daily becoming
not only less religious, but more IT.
religious. Another prominent clergy
man. Archdeacon Sinclair of London,
ascribed the degeneracy of women
chiefly to drinking, especially secret
drinking.
The conditions which give rise to
such expressions of opinion as these
will possibly not be familiar to large
numbers of people outside of the big
cities, where they chiefly prevail.
The womanly virtues and woman 5
influence for the promotion of all
that is good and elevating are COM
monty assumed to be things not open
to attack. Greater satisfaction will
be taken by the large mass Of people
in believing that the heretofore exist
ing ideas as to women are correct
than in adopting as general state
ment of fact the assertions above
quoted. based as they are on the low
and vicious life of London.
Nevertheless, there probably is on
ly too much foundation for these
assertions among the people who
have come more directly under the
observation OF their critics. The swift
pace of the smart set" in society
doubtless justifies the structures that
have been passed by Judge Plowden
and Archdeacon Sinclair. as we'll as
by others from time to time, and it
IS perhaps eXerting an unwholeSome
influence on many who still have
some conscientious scruples against
letting their failings have publicity
The regrettable result of the I'M
womanly conduct of some women
comparatively few in proportion to
the vast numbers of their sisters in
any country-is that censure is too
apt to fall upon all as class, when
it is really undeserved. 1t would,
indeed be a serious thing for the
world if the ''degeneracy of women"
alluded to were to become common.
