EraAxinn ElnaI,

It is curious fact that, although
jewellers In northern chimes must have
known for ages that a low temperature
preserves flesh from puHsfaetiou, IL
never seems to have struck any one
that this natural fact could be turned
to artificial advantage until Lord Bacon
stuffed the historic chicken with snow
and thereby caught chill which killed
him. 1t is perhaps even more curious
that an experiment resulting in the
death Of one Of the most eminent men
In the world should not have called any
attention to an already well known
principle which might have been read
lily turned to great advantage. AS a
matter Of fact, it was not until the year
1876, 249 years after Lord Bacon's fatal
experiment, that freezing was prac-
tically employed as method of pre-
serving flesh. This was the commence
ment of the frozen meat trade between
America and England. -Four years
later dry air refrigerator was per-
fected. D.. h. j y

Honduran Hard Wood,

A railroad. in Honduras, which has
just been opened to traffic as far as
Ceiba, thirty-fve miles, was built with
creosoted pine ties from the United
States. It Is worthy Of note that, while
creosoted pine ties are being shipped
from the United States to Honduras,
hard woods are coming to the United
States from that country. Americans
are doing the shipping both ways. A
tract Of 5000 acres In Honduras has

SLIT HIS POCKET
JlMToWN TAILOR LOADS UP AN

Jamestown, N. D., July S0.-A.
Land, a tailor, was arrested today on
complaint of F. Seibert, an old man,
who lost a sum of money while in

drinking heavily, and Land piled the
older man with liquor until he became

SELECTIONS
FISHING FOR OIL.
Curious Spectacle on the Coast OF
IL II California.

Curious Spectacle on the Coast Of
Ii California.
In the neighborh6od Of Summerland,
on the coast of California, ten miles
south Of Santa Barbara. the visitor
may behold at the present time a
strange and interesting spectacle the
like of which was never seen in the
world before. It Is nothing more OF
less than a fishery for petroleum.
Out from the smooth, sandy beach
and extending at right angles there
with into the ocean are many long
docks or piers supporting old derricks.
The latter are like any other derricks
constructed for such a purpose, but in
stead Of being used to bring up oil
from the dry land they are made to
serve for fetching the fluid from be-
meath the waters Of the sea.
The piers described are, many Of
them, Of great length, stretching guar.
ter Of mile, or more out into the Pa
cific, in order to tap the oil bearing
strata under the sea. Derricks are set
all along the beach itself, upheld by
piles, in order that the breakers may
flow back and forth beneath them.
One might imagine that the discovery
Of the oil under the sea came about
through observation of petroleum float
ing on the waves. Such does not seem,
however, to have been the case. Pros
pectors for the precious fluid, having
come upon productive oil field on
terra firma in the neighborhood OF
Summerland, were naturally led down
to the ocean beach by the circum-
stance that the oil producing area ap-
peared to extend in that direction.
Finding that there was oil beneath the
very breakers, it occurred to them to
seek it farther out. 2&.s-; s"s5
The petroleum obtained from under
the sea Is remarkable, like all the oil
in. the neighborhood, for containing a
great deal of asphalt. 1t is, in fact
very impure and thick owing to this
admixture of an extraneous substance
But the asphalt itself is decidedly val
liable when separated and is being
utilized for paving and other such pur
poses.-Saturday Evening Post.

The hall has the distinction Of hav-

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20
Speaker Cannon S presidential boom
leads, statistically, from the results of
political conventions in the week just
closed. While, with a total of twenty
delegates all from Illinois, he is still
far behind Secretary Taft as candi-
date, he and all others afeld are jubi-
liant over the showing. The allies say
that the Taft boom has been halted
as they claimed it would be, when the
bulk of conventions in conceded pro-
Taft territory had voted.
The secretary has gained in instruct
ed delegates but six for the week,
which makes his instructed strength
to date $50, according to unofficial
figures kent at National Committee
headquarters. This does not include
Porto Rico, where, it is understood
here, a convention is in session today.
Federal offieeholders have Porto Rican
politics in charge. and it is expected
that the two Porto Rican delegates
will be instructed for Taft.
The delegates thus far elected num-
Der 268. of whom 81 are uninstructed.
There are 80 contests in prospect The
National Committee has put the two
delegates from the first South Caro-
lima district in the contested list this
week, although there has been some
doubt as to whether a legal conven-
tion was held President Fair

toned strength is now confined to 13

Admiral Thomas. now in command

fleet in May, P. F. Ryan having re-
ceived a letter from the admiral the
other day in which he stated that he
would leave the fleet next month and
therefore would be unable to greet him
in Honolulu
Thomas and Ryan were sIipmates
aboard the old frigate Hartford in
1884. the former being then executive
officer of the Hartford, while Ryan
was coxswain of Admiral Hughes
barge. Both men have got along since
those days and there has always been
a warm bond of friendship existing
between the two
Ryan was much disappointed to
hear that he would not have a chance
10 talk over old navy times with his
commander during the visit of the
Pacific Fleet in July.
