When liquors are bottled they con-
tain a certain amount of sugar, which
ferments through the action of min

sugar up into liquid and carbonic acid
gas when the cork is withdrawn and
instantly makes its escape and, rising
in bubbles, produces effervescence and

FROM the Youths Companion.
This tiny standard Of weight. although
not one person in million ever makes
practical use o. it, possesses great pres
tige because of its"connection with dia-
monds and other precious stones But
how many readers have any clear idea of
the weight represented by a carat? In
England it is customary to reckon 15I1s
carats to the ounce, Troy. This makes
the carat equivalent to 205.3 milligrams,
or 3.16S3 grains. An attempt is now be-
ing made TO secure general recognition in
all countries OF a metric standard carat

Neat Catch of a Frisco
Crook.

Armed with telegraphic de-
scription from the Chief OF Police
of San Francisco, Of one Peter
Purkiss wanted by the authori-
ties of that city on criminal
charge, Sheriff Woods and deputy
Allen boarded No. s before the
train had fairly stopped here
Saturday morning
The description, among other
points of the mans identity, gave
the number of his baggage check
and number of his ticket. Officer
Woods first jumped into the
baggage car where he soon loca-
ted a trunk to which was at
tached a check bearing the num-
Der the description called for. 1t
was next ascertained that Con-
ductor Fred Nohl held the coupon
from the ticket which also bore
the Identical number wired by
the San Francisco Chief of Police
Being now reasonably sure that
his man was aboard the train, a
systematic search of about four
minutes was all that was requir-
ed to locate and remove Mr..
Peter Purkiss and his trunk from
the train. Mr.. Purkiss proved
to be a we'll dressed and shreWd
looking individual, but despite
the fact that we have here a
glorious climate and many ripe
opportunities forjudicious invest
ment, he did not at first seem dis
posed to stop off, but owing to
the Sheriff earnest and persua-
slve manner, he at once relented
without further argument. A
search revealed the fact that the
prisoner had $235 on his person.
Upon being notified by wire of
arrest here. the Chief of Police of
San Francisco instructed Sheriff
Woods to hold the man until the
necessary papers could be pre-
pared to have him removed to
that city.

Supervisor Breen Resigns

Forest Supervisor Fred 5. Breen
was in the city Tuesday and in
formed us that he had resigned
his position, the resignation to
take effect today Saturday,
March 15.) Mr. Breen has been
IN the Forest Service for the past
ten years, during which time he
has had charge of the San Fran
cisco Mountain and South Grand
CANYON National Forests. The
cause for the resignation is said
to be increased responsibilities
and insufficient salary.
Mr.. Breen's services have given
universal satisfaction. The cat
tie, sheep and lumber interests
with whom Mr. Breen has had
dealings have forwarded a pet1-
tion to Washington requesting
that he be kept IN charge ofthese
forests if possible.
Mr.. Breen has not yet decided
what he will do, but will remain
in Arizona. He IS we'll and favor
ably known throughout the
northern part of the territory,
and has many friends who will
be glad to learn that he does not
intend to leave Arizona, and hope
he will never regret having re-
signed his position.
MIR. Breen will be succeeded by
F. c. w. Pooler, supervisor of
the Prescott and Verde National
Forests. He entered the service
at Prescott as a ranger four
years ago and one yearlater was
made supervisor of the Prescott
Forest. When the Verde Forest
was created he was made super
visor of that Forest also. Mr..
Pooler comes highly recommended
and the Prescott papers express
regret because he leaves their
community. Coconino county
extends the right hand of vel
come to the new supervisor and
hopes that his new location will
be pleasant for him.
