MOUNTED CUSTOMS GUARDS
FOUND DEAD IN RIVER

Ell PaSO, Tex, Mar 20.-ChdrI6S
Jones and Charles Logan, mounted
customs guards were found dead in
the bed of the Rio Grande this morn
ing. 1t is believed they were killed by
smugglers, but there is no clue. Fir
ing was heard at midnight, and this
morning the two dead men were
found surrounded by the tracks of
other men.
LATER Further Investigation in
dicates that Logan and Jones mis-
took each other for smugglers and
fought duel to the death. The tracks
seem to fit the shoes of the dead me1
and the pistol of one has one empty
shell while the other has two. People
living in the neigh borhood declare
there were only three shots Logan
was son of the late Major T. H
Logan, of the T. s. army. and Jones
was a former railroad man. Both had
been IN the customs service many
years.

THE SETTING OF

means of controlling the air current
and securing more perfect circula-
ton and mixing OF the air.
Prof King points out that a good
ventilating fiue must have all the char
acteristics OF good chimney II
should have as nearly air-tight walls
as possible; should rise above the
highest part OF the roof, so as to get
the full force Of the wind; should be
as nearly straight as possible; should
be located near the center of the
stable. and should have an ample
cross section. A few large flues are
more satisfactory than a large mum

According to Prof. Page, a round
f1ue is preferable TO a square one be-
cause II has greater carrying capacity
and no dead corners; smooth walls
are better than rough. because they
present less resistance to the current
of afr; fues ON the south side of the
building receive more heat from the
sun and are more efficient than those
on the north side; sharp angles should
be avoided since each right angle re-
.duces the velocity of the current one
half; fiues should be SO constructed
that they can be kept clean In every
part; very long flues are generally
useless unless artificial heat is used
TO produce circulation OF the air;
drafts are best prevented and more
perfect ventilation secured by having
numerous small inlets rather than a
few large ones.

early stages OF growth, but not enough

Experiments have shown that, even

per cent OF moisture In the first four
feet Of soil at the time the grain was
forming would give an increase in

greatest factor in controlling the
