The Germans have perfected a scheme
for killing oil fires with foam. The
apparatus employed consists of a sim
pie metal cylinder provided with
long spout and divided into chambers.
One chamber is charged with an aqua-
Gus solution Of potash-alum and So
dunn sulphate. the other with a sim
liar solution Of sodium bicarbonate, So
dunn sulphate and Iicoriee root extract.
The cylinder Is SO arranged that on
being reversed the two solutions min
gle as they issue from the spout. The
result is a prompt evolution Of carbon
dioxide. which, in contact with the
licorice solution, forms an exceedingly
stir and persistent foam. Heads Ok
fire departments have tested this
scheme and pronounced the foam fire
extinguisher a success. They say 1t

In London the policemen carry no

their belt behind, is a dark lantern.
The cuffs Of their ooats have vertical

NJ INJUNCTION AGAINST STREET
 RAILWAY

It is now considered highly improb- able that Martin O'Hare, who on Saturday filed a suit for 5000 dam ages against the City of Blsbee for using his property without his con sent. will take legal action to stop the street railway company from building up Tombstone Canyon. Al though O'Hare served personal notice upon the superintendent of the street railway company that he would ask an injunction, no step in that direction has yet been taken and it is believed that he will drop that end of the con troversy.
 In building a retaining wall and widening the street in front of his property it was necessary for the city to use a strip of ground eleven feet long at one end and narrowing down to a few inches at the other. Over a portion of this the street car tracks will be run.
 While nothing can be definitely as- certained there is thought to be a good chance that the matter will be settled by the city out of court.

Characteristic That Is the Most pesr
 Iy Planted in morsaIs.

The first man was a gardener, we are told. Certain 1t is that the first men were tiliers of the soil, after they ceased to be wandering warriors That is where we get our love of ns' ture, declares a writer in the Kansas City Journal. That is why we build parks and have flowers clambering about our premises. That is why we are strangely at peace when we get out into the mountains and lose our selves among the fragrant woods. That Is why we loathe at times the smell of paint that is on civilization and long for the perfume of the life that is close to the green leaves and the wild flowers. That is why We are so happy when we camp out and why we are so reluctant to return. That is why our earliest recollections of the "old farm" are the sweetest and ten derest of our lives. That is why we crack a joke at the simple life" and "back to nature" and all that-when somebody is around-and why we knpw, away down In our hearts. that the simple life is the life most worth living and that we cannot get close to anything sweeter or purer than na' ture, Mother" Nature, whose sons and daughters we are, from whom we may wander far, but to whom We re turn as prodigals, finding the prodf gals welcome and the prodigaIs peace.

FACTION WAR OYER CH|Nk
 TROUBLE

According to reports from Jerome on the Chinese situation. two factions are now fighting over the Chinamen, one wanting to drive them from the city and the other demanding that they be permitted to remain.
 The trouble and threatened expul- sion arose from an inspection of a number of Chinese restaurants there, and the food was found to be wholly unfit for consumption. This started the anti-Chink agitation. and Con- stable Charles King and w. S. Adams, the latter a former member of the Arizona legislature, insisted that for the good of Jerome and to punish the Chinks for serving unpaIatable food, they should be driven from the camp and that furthermore no more should be permitted to enter.
 Now comes along some of the home missionary workers to the defense of the Mongols, and have lined up in a bitter fight against King and Adams. The latter, however, have the back. ing of the larger portion of the pop. ulation.

PANIC AVERTED BY MARROW
 MARGIN

What promised to terminate iu q panic at the Orpheum Theatre wa averted by the coolness of Manage; King and the stan of ushers Sunday night
 When the alarm of fire sounded which called the department to the scene of the explosion on Brewery Gulch, the noise of the engines, clat. tering of feet and still louder chatter of human voices outside caused a number of men, beguiled by curiosity, to spring to their feet and make for the exits, bent on seeing what was going on. This in turn frightened a number of women, who, fearing some thing was wrong behind the scenes, screamed, and, many with babes in their arms, jumped up and started to leave.
 'The fire is not here" shouted L. J. Overlook, Sit down." His efforts were seconded by Manager King and other house attaches.
 Forthwith all save the curious re- turned to their seats. The progress of the show was interrupted for sew eral moments while the engines and bowling mob were passing, coupled with the excitement inside.
