Valuable Invention cf ArizOnan.

The Gazette says that E. Hards of Phoenix is the inventor of a wind mill which is destined to revolutionize cinhe and also to work wide change in "pump jacks" for electrical and gasoline engines. By utilizing cer- tain principals of mechanics with which everyone who has studied the subject is familiar, he has quadrupled the power it is possible to obtain from an ordinary windmill. For the past eight months MT. Hard has had one of his mills in op- eration in his back yard. The wheel is only five feet in diameter, yet it throws a continuous two-inch stream of water and is capable of doing even more.
 The "windmill head" as the ma chinery at the top of the tower is called, is radically different from anything ever before manufactured. The wheel itself is unlike any other in that the fans Heather with" the wind. In a light wind they can be so set that its full force comes against them.
 The application of the, lever prin- ciple in the pinion wheel connecting the lever with the plunger doubles the power. The straight up and down stroke more than trebles it. The stroke is the most unique and wonderful part about MT. Hards' in- vention. Ordinary mills cannot util- ize stroke of more than F inches, even with 22-foot wheel. With any kind of a wheel Mir. Hards can use anything from a 12 to a 3O-inch stroke. The one he has on his first mill, which has a 5foot wheel, is 12 feet long.

StOck Exhibits-Largest-C Colorado later
 State Fair.

The stock exhibits at the Colorado Interstate Fair and Exposition this year will surpass even the magnificent display of that character at the Interstate Fair last year. At the last moment the stock is coming in from all over the country and the ex- position buildings are beginning to take new life and activity. The Fair is rapidly developing from seeming chaos into we'll managed depart ments. The management is working to the limit of human endurance to make this exposition one unparalleled in the history of the state.
 A special rate of one fare for the round trip from all state points, and one and a third from adjoining states and territories has been made by the railroads. Tickets will be on sale from September l2th to Septem- Der 17th inclusive and are good re- turning up until Monday September 10th.

Old Arizona Town on the Public Domain

A new thing has been brought to the attention of the office of the sur veyor general, a town of some age and some size in this territory on un- surveyed land. It frequently happens that town or settlement springs up suddenly on the public domain, but about the time it starts and often be- fore, the inhabitants begin importun- ing the government for a survey.
 But in this case the government of ficials found the town and its inhabi- tapts resting in a sort of apathy re- garding surveys and titles to property. The discovered town is Fredonia in the extreme northern part of the ter ritory not far from Utah line. A re- presentative of Special Inspector Dezendorf's office secured from the office of the surveyor general the ne cessary application blanks for a sur vey. In due time the application of the citizens of Fredonia for a town site will be received.
 There has never been a survey of any part of the public domain north of the Grand Canyon and Jack Adams of the surveying generals ofice already worrying about how the Gila and Salt river base ard meridian is to be carried across the great gash in the surface of the earth. He suggests that the matter be allowed to rest until the aeroplane business is little better developed.

STOCKS.

VIII be beneficial To the New York
stock exchange in one respect For
years there has been an unlisted de-
partment ard a system established IN
der which a limited number Of corpora
tons Of the industrial class obtain a
market for their securities.
a long time ago, according TO the
Wall Street Journal the chairman OF
the listing committee tried to force the
American Sugar company to list It's So
curities OF withdraw them from the
stock exchange. The trust refused 20
do either, and the chairman found him
self confronted by an impenetrabIe wall
Of vested interests. The matter was
then dropped Now the officers Of the
stock exchange have an opportunity 20
go before the newly appointed cornms-
tee and the report to Governor
Hughes viii doubtless contain p re-
commentator in the matter and sucn
companies as American Smelling and
American Sugar brought TO time. The
members Of the exchange maintain that
if the United States Steel corporation
can be frank with the public there
should be no difficulty about the others
Of the danger Of trading in unlisted
stocks the Journal has this to say:
Pains are taken to see that unlisted
stocks are differentiated from the far
greater number Of listed issues by d
special mark, and it need hardly be
said that the distinction is quite inte;-
ngible to people who know all about
the subject already. The protection az
forded thereby to the public is not
worth having. The outside investor m
fact may be forgiven if he does not
recognize any difference between the
tgvo classes All ne considers is that
the security is dealt in on the floor Of
the stock exchange and not on the
Broad street curb.
Defenders Of the fndefensible say
that the stock exchange cannot pretend
to guarantee the quality of what it sells
any more than any market master can
guarantee the quality Of the beef sold
at the stalls in the market. Tie mar
ket master, however, can and does
guarantee not the quality but the char
acter of what he sells. He is bound to
see that what is sold in his market a.
beef is beef, and not horse. In the mai
ter Of quality. the buyer must protee1
himself Thanks 70 the publicity slim
ulated by the requirements Of the list

stocks. If. however. those requirements
are not complied with. character sn6

FALSE PROPHET.

Last Sunday was the day set for the
wreck OF matter and the end OF the
world by Prophet" Lee J. Spangler.
whose disciples at Nysck. y. Y. ar
rayed in white, waited from the rising
Of the sun until after noon for the open
ing of the heavens and the last trump.
The expected didn't happen and the
dupes at once took the trail Of the
prophet" but that worthy had disap-
peared and has not been seen since.
Spangler did not have many follow
ers, and most Of the band Of saints VINO
gathered for the aerial trip to the
golden city were women. Here is part
Of his prophecy:
81 am Alpha and Omega, the begin
which is thrust In your sickle. and reap.
for the harvest Of the earth is ripe. This

The bridegroom is coming and the bride
must be ready. II you know any saints
bring them along. I don't want any sin
ners; have no use for them
II doesn't seem to matter much what
the doctrine is. A prophet with

iievers. Only recently Adam God"
and Elijah" engaged in a battle win
the Kansas City police and several
deaths resulted. There are bands OF
Holy Rollers" and Jumpers" IN var
ious parts Of the country. and to crown

Johnson cENTENARY.

Andrew johnson, seventeenth presi-
dent Of the United states. was born 100
years ago on the 2sth of December. but
the anniversary of his birth passed IN
noticed. The story of his career is well
worth reading ny young America, show
ing as it does the rise of a man Of hum
bic origin to the highest position in the
land.
The future president did not have An
opportunity to attend school, and only
learned to read late in his apprentice
ship to a tailor at Raleigh. \. {. He
was taught to write by his devoted
wife. who also gave him a start in
mathematics. He entered the political
field early and became alderman and
then mayor OF Creenville, Tenn; he
was a member Of the lower house of the
Tennessee legislature and then state
senator; in 1913 he Vas elected to the
national house Of representatives and
served eight years; then came two
terms as governor, followed by his
election to the United States senate IN
1857
His loyalty to the government and
personal bravery during the early days
of the civil war won cor him the second
place on the Republican ticket in 1861,
and when the immortal Abraham lin
coin was laid low by the bullet of John
Wilkes Booth he succeeded 20 the pTesi-
Dental chair. The story of his dis
agreement with congress and the eff
fort to impeach him for high crimes
and misdemesnors' has been told many
times. The senators and representa-
tives, or a majority OF them at least,
were not in accord with President Lin
coin, but he was assassinated before
the breach became wide, so johnson had
to bear the brunt of the fight. After a
sensational and exciting trial. the i'm
parchment proceedings failed by one
vote, thirty-five guilty and nineteen
not guilty. two-thirds being required
fer conviction under the constitution.
and the country was spared the humil-
iation of placing a stien for partisan
political reasons upon tie name and
fame Of one Of its great men.
johnson served out his term as pres
ident and returned to Tennessee. He
was called from his retirement in 1875
to again represent his state in the ma
tional senate. and died July 81 Of that
same year.
