MULES OF MEXICO.
They Are Even More Knowing Than
Our Own Meek Brand.

Everybody knows that all mules
are brainy, but the mules of old Mex
leo have something on other mules for
a sort of prescience of their own said
a man who has spent many years in
the neighboring republic. "a Mexican
mule will do just so much work and
not a blamed bit more.
1.-THE riding mule, for instance, is
fully aware of the distance, down to a
rod, he is supposed and required to
traverse in the progress of one travel
ing day, and all the sharp sticks OF
goads or dynamite on earth won't get
him to do a bit more than what be
knows to be the correct distance. The
Mexicans have got peculiar saying In
connection with this characteristic OF
the Mexican mule You ask a Mex
lean, for instance, how far 1t is by
mule back to such and such a point.
1.-TWO days journey If you are moi
rushed, but three days If you are in 8
hurry, the Mexican viii reply.
"His meaning is that if you dom
ask more of your mule than you should
ask of him, the mule will be able t.
make the trip in two days. But If yor
attempt to drive the brute he'll soldier
on you, and in consequence the jour
ney will take you three days."-Ex

The Deceased Wife's Sister.

The law against marrying deceased
wife's sister, which caused so much
discussion in England, grew out of
the ancient tribal law forbidding a ia
Their to sell more than one daughter to
the same man when the Briton was
emerging from polygamy and when
for 81 shillings of the present money
a man might dismiss his wife or kill
her If she would not go. AS civil law
1t was to protect the living wife and
knit tribes closer together by inter
marriage When ecclesiastical law be-
came supreme misleading Of some
Scripture text was used to put the
sister of a mans wife among the pro-
hibited degrees of relationship. This
was the act of 1541 go Henry Wild:
"a man may not marry his deceased
wife's sister or her daughter, but he
may marry his first cousin. London

Fishes have been put to many queer
uses while still alive, but probably the
Etrangest was that suggested to the
war department by an inventor The
propulsion of submarine torpedoes was
the subject under discussion, and he
proposed that a shark be imprisoned
In tube at the rear end of the projec-
tile, its movements to be controlled by
the active application Of electricity.
In case the shark attempted to swim
away it was to be given an electric
shock and in this way kept on its
course until the torpedo had reached
It's target.
Another remarkable use to which a
fish has been put is as a barometer.

pheric changes, and when retained In

In Albany, in Australia, is to be seen

1t is suggested as an explanation of

upheaval Of the earth it was buried in
sand Little by little water acting on
the sand penetrated the branches and

The wood gradually disappeared I'M

They dart hither and thither so quick

THE DAMAGE
IS COkIDERABLE

The heavy rains in the Book Cliff
region last night brought an ava
lanche of water through the Pomona
district. causing the destruction of
bridges and otherwise doing consid-
cradle damage.
Along White avenue the road was
a seething torrent, filled with debris
brought down from a wash that had
been recently riprapped with brush,
etc.
The brush. lodging at the bridge
approaches. backed the water until
the banks of the waste ditch gave
way, forcing the water across the
road into the orchards on the other
side, leaving in its wake an insight
ly mass of rubbish.
1t is reported that an Indignation
meeting was held this morning by
the Pomona ranchers to determine
the extent of their damage and to
take legal proceedings in placing the
responsibility for this damage,
against the parties who filled or
caused to be filled. the wash just

east of them, with brush and rub
bish, thereby causing the overflow,
which otherwise would have been
carried OFF by the waste ditch.
Practically the same conditions
existed last year. and the land own
ers abutting this wash were made
cognizant of the utter futility in US
ing brush for riprapping, but all per-
suas'on to the contrary failed to bet

they will protect themselves from flu

played the part in a way that ap-
pealed strongly to everyone. Miss
Mayme Kennedy as France played

and Ed Beach as Blackburn, the viii
lain, was just about as villainous as
he could possibly be. Jack Fergu-
son as Col. Lee was great also. Bill

parts in an excellent manner and the

put.
