HOT POTS OF HEBER.

The Curious Natural Formations
Found In Utah.
OF ever increasing interest to natu-
raj curiosity seekers are the hot pots.
about three miles from Heber City,
Utah, on branch line Of the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad, running up
through picturesque Provo canyon.
This region is level plain, upon the
surface Of which arise In strange con-
fusion numbers of conical shaped els
terms, the largest Of them being all Of
fifty feet high, hundred feet In diam
eter at the top and twice that at the
base and containing in their dark
depths immense volumes Of water
heated to a high temperature In the
furnaces Of the earth. The waters con-
tain the usual chemical properties of
thermal springs and are used for bath
ing and drinking with excellent effects.
These pots have evidently been form
ed by the slow deposition through
countless centuries Of the silica and
soda which enter into the composition
Of the waters that once welled over
the rim. The hot pots are found In the
midst Of cultivated fields and thriving
orchards Notwithstanding the peculiar
rocklike 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. "Is there an enormous
cavern just below the surface and will
1t ever cave inT is the anxious
inquiry of every visitor alarmed at
the strange underground sounds.-Ex-

ELECTRICITY.

u Has Taken From Fire Its Suprsm-
acy as Mans Servant.
AS we hear the whir of the dynamo
or listen at the telephone, as we turn
the button of an incandescent lamp or
travel In an electromobile, we are par
takers in revolution more swift and
profound than has ever before been
enacted upon earth. Until the nine
teenth century fire was justly account
ed the most useful and versatile serv-
ant of man. Today electricity is doing
all that fire ever did and doing it bet
ter, while it accomplishes uncounted
tasks far beyond the reach of fame,
however ingeniously applied. We may
thus observe under our eyes just such
an Impetus to human intelligence and
power as when fire was first subdued
to the purposes of man, with the I'M
mense advantage that, whereas the
subjugation of fire demanded ages OF
weary and uncertain experiment, the
mastery of electricity Is for the most
part the assured work Of the nine
teenth century and In truth very large
~ of its last three decades. 1t begins
at once to marry the resources of the
mechanic and the chemist, the engi-
neer and the artist, with issue attest
ed by all its own fertility, while its
rays reveal province after province IN
dreamed Of and, indeed, unexisting be-
fore It's advent. Every other primal
gift of man rises to a new height at
the bidding of the electrician.-F. Nell

BEAU FIELDING.
He Was the Enigma Of English Social
e. L. lie nav

He Was the Enigma of English Social
Life In His Day.
Beau Fielding was young man OF
fashion In the reign of William III bis
house was sumptuously furnished, his
hunters, hacks and racers were of
great value, and "he kept table Of
princely hospitality" He had no o.
tensible source Of income. All that was
known Of him was that he was the
fifth son of Thomas Wilson, an impov-
erished gentleman Of Leicestershire.
Evelyn describes him as a very young
man, ''civil and good natured, but OF
no great force of character" and very
sober and of good fame" All attempts
to discover his secret were vain. I'm
his most careless hours of amusement
he kept a strict guard over his tongue
and left scandal to conjecture what it
pleased"
He redeemed his fathers estate and
portioned off his sisters and when re-
menstrated with on his extravaganza
replied that, however long his life
should last, he would always have
enough to live In the same way. Some
said it was he who had robbed the
Holland mail, for which another man
had suffered; others that he depended
upon the gambling table, though he
never played for large sums. He was
the enigma Of social life till his career
was cut short by duel. His adversary
was at that time q young man about
town like himself, John Law, who
afterward became the founder Of the
famous Mississippi scheme by which
half of France was ruined. When the
mysterious Beau died he left only
few pounds behind him and not a
scrap of evidence to enlighten public
curiosity

A WITTY JUDGE.
His Conclusions on the Evidence Of
Ditto and True.

His Conclusions on the Evidence Of
Ditto and True.
The late Hon. Noah Davis, well
known throughout the country as the
fudge who tried and sentenced Boss
Tweed, was justly celebrated In many
ways. He was of that type OF jurist
for which western New York was
famed during the half century follow
ing 1850. Orleans county is proud OF
him as one of her noblest and most dis
tinguished sons. He was slightly
above medium height, full habited,
large head, fine, clean cut face-indeed,
a striking figure In any community. He
was a well read lawyer, an honest,
fair minded Judge, with keen sense
Of humor and withal something of
writer and poet. The following lines
from his pen, written on the spur OF
the moment and In the midst of trial,
illustrate the alertness and quality OF
his mind. They are perhaps the best
play upon words of which we have any
record in the English language.

An action in ejectment was called.
The dispute was over party wall or
a division line. 1t was purely ques-
ton for the civil engineer. The divi-
sion line established and the case was
won. The defendants attorney, realiz-
ing this, called as expert witnesses the
Hon. John A. Ditto, city engineer OF
Buffalo, and the Hon. A. R. True, the
engineer who constructed the canta-
lever bridge over Niagara river at the
falls. They were two Of the most emf
nent civil engineers in the state. They
made survey of the premises and es-
tablished the division line as contended
for by the defendant and when called
to the witness stand SO testified, giving
monuments, courses and distances with
such minute exactness that they could
not be successfully controverted. The
moment True, who followed Ditto as a
witness, left the stand, Judge Davis
wrote these lines and passed them to
the clerk to hand to plaintiffs counsel:
Since True swears ditto to Ditto,
And Ditto swears ditto to True,
II True be true and Ditto be ditto,
I think they're too many for you

fight with even greater bitterness against
the King and boldly plots to bring dis
honor to the Queen and death to the in

PRETTY FEET.
How to Preserve Their Shape and
Condition.

How to Preserve Their Shape and
Condition.
That pretty foot is one of woman'S
greatest charms is universally conced-
ed, and the woman who wants to pre-
serve the shape of her pedal extremi-
ties must perforce bestow considerably
more attention upon them than she is
credited with doing, says the Chicago
Tribune. To keep them trim and
shapely hot baths should be resorted
to. A frequent change of shoes is ad-
visable, as it rests the feet and helps
to keep them in good condition. After
long tramp battle them in warm water,
afterward rubbing with bay rum or CO.
logne. But, after all, the weekly ped1-
curing should not be forgotten. 1t Is
Just as important as manicuring. Aft
er hot footbath all callosities should
be treated with pumice stone, and II.
one desires to prevent their return ap-
ply a plaster of chamois skin with a
hole in the center This will not only
relieve, but cure. Toe nails do not need
trimming as often as finger nails. They
should be trimmed square across, kept
at a moderate length and otherwise
treated as those of the fingers.
The feet should be washed every
morning. If it were made daily Gus
tom the beauty of the feet would be
better preserved, and there would be
fewer corns, blisters and bunions.
Should the feet be prone to dampness
the stockings should be changed every
day, and the soles of the clean stock
ings should be sprinkled with some
good toilet powder.
Patent leather has a bad effect on
many feet, and therefore women with
tender feet should avoid it. Slippers
of a much thinner leather, called pat
ent kid, can be obtained. This looks
quite as smart and does the feet far
less harm
