CISTERNs OF HOT WATER.
Natural Curiosity on the Plains
Near Heber City, Utah.

From the Kansas City Star.
OF ever-increasing interest to natural
curiosity seekers are the Hot Pots, about
three miles from Heber City, Utah.
This region is level plain, upon the
surface Of which arise In strange con-
fusion numbers of conical-shaped cisterns,
the largest of them being all Of 80 feet in
height, 100 feet in diameter at the top
and twice that at the base and contain
ing in their dark depths immense volumes
of water heated to a high temperature
in the furnaces of the earth. The waters
contain the usual chemical properties of
thermal springs and are used for bathing
and drinking
These pots evidently have been formed
by the slow deposition through countless
centuries of the silica and soda which en-
ter into the composition of the waters.
They grow in height steadily with years
and present a most interesting spectacle
of natures strange creative methods. The
Hot Pots are found in the midst of Gull
tivated fields and thriving orchards. not
withstandlng the peculiar rock-like soil
composition.
One of the marked peculiarities of the
region is the hollow. rumbling sound
caused by carriages and horses as they
move over the roadways for miles
around. rs there an enormous cavern
just below the surface, and will 1t ever
cave in?' is the anxious inquiry of every
visitor alarmed at the strange under
ground sounds.

Some Tails and Their Uses,

From the Outing Magazine.
A cat never actually wags it's tail. Why
should 1t when 1t can purr? But, never
theless. 1t seems to serve the same pur-
pose in permitting a temporary expendi-
ture of excess nervous energy when the
animal is under great strain For in
stance, when carefully stalking a bird or
lion. the tip of the tail Is never still for a
moment-ever curling and uncurling. We
may compare this to the nervous tapping

giving rise among the ancients to the be-
lief that he scourged his body with a hook
or thorn which grew from the end of the
tail.
When jaguar walks along a slender
bough. or a house cat perambulates the
top Of board fence. we perceive an
other important function of the tail-that

vate munif1cence directed to the further
ance of medical education. Gifts in the
shape of money and endowment to medi-
cal schools in the city have not been at
all commensurate with their need or on
a par with the donations laviShed on
other branches of education. All three of
the older university medical schools in
the city have been pressed for funds to
carry on their work for several years,
and this year the largest of the schools,
the University and Bellevue Hospital
Medical College of New York University,
which has an enrolment larger than that
of the other two schools combined. was
compelled to turn away students because
of lack Of equipment to accommodate all
properly. The recently announced gift of
several million dollars from John D.
Rockefeller for an institute of medical
research does not help to solve this prob
lem. for, while it gives a great impetus
to scientific study, it will not aid in the
training of physicians who must earn a
living in practice.
1t Is largely as consequence of this
lack of funds among the local medical
schools of the city that they are turning
out fewer physicians today than they did
ten years ago. The rise of the applied
sciences. with their greater rewards. and
the gradual frightening of the course at
the medical schools from two to four
years may have contributed to this fall
ing off. But the principal reason why
New York has not gained as a center for
medical education, in spite of the fact
that 1t has the best natural facilities for
such training in the world, is ascribed to
the inadequate support given to the great
schools by the wealthy public.

At Budapest a regularly organized COM

stated hours concerts are heard by the

BIG SUITS FOR DUTIES
UNCLE SAM AFTER SUGAR
TRUST MILLIONS

NEW YORK. December 2s.-Sujts
against the American Sugar Refining
Company TO recover millions of dollars
of which. Il is charged. the government
has been defrauded in the last ten years,
are to be begun by the United States De-
partment OF Justice as soon as the COM
putation of the total amount OF the gov
ernment's claim is completed by Treasury
officials now engaged in the work.
From estimates made by those in close
touch with the secret work OF the customs
officials it is declared the total TO be
claimed will amount to more than S30oo.-
600. This sum represents the difference
between the duty paid by the sugar trust
since the passage OF the Dingley tariff
act and the amount that should have
been paid according to the governments
claim. but wnich was evaded by the use
of fraudulent scales on the docks OF the
refineries.
Secret agents of the Treasury. on whose
evidence criminal proceedings are pending
against several employees OF the sugar
positive proof that every cargo of sugar
for the trust that has reached this port in
the last ten years has been underweighed
through manipulation of scales.
That until year or so ago practically
every cargo was also undervalued by
polariscopic tests for quality also Is the
belief Of the investigators who have been
probing the sugar trusts relations with
the custom house.
Think Evidence Sufficient.
1t is expected sufficient evidence to
prove the governments case will be
brought out in the criminal actions now
under way In Brooklyn. Besides the in
dictments already found. it is predicted
by those watching the case that the fed
eral grand jury will bring in several mora
against employees of the sugar trust, II
not against some of the higher officials.
On the same testimony on which convic-
tons are looked for in the criminal ac
lions 1t is believed convincing proof for
use in the civil suits can be built up.
From careful Investigation. the results
of which are now before the grand jury,
Treasury agents and custom officials be-
lieve there has been an average shortage
of ! per cent in the weight of imported
sugar recorded on the governments
books. On this basis force of clerks is
now calculating how much the sugar trust
owes the government.
Records that have been filed away for
years are being brought out and searched.
The exact weight on which duty was paid
on every shipment of sugar received by
the trust is being unearthed. The grand
total has NOT been reached. but 1t is de-
clared il will amount to more thar $780,
100000 in duties paid.
AS an outcome of the discoveries made
at the American Sugar Refining Compa-
ny's piers. special Treasury agents have
been working for the last month among
other large importers of sugar and other
commodities that are Weighed at the
piers in bulk. No information as to the
result of these inquiries was obtained yes
terday. but it was hinteded other con-
Germs besides the sugar trust might be in
volved before the Investigation is con-
cluded.
