statement of the captain OF the Brit

Astronomers believe that the tenn
perature of space, outside Of the
earth's atmosphere, is 459 degrees pc
low the zero of the Fahrenheit scale.
That inconceivable cold is what they
mean by absolute zero.
A new method for welding steel
pipes at high speed, German inven-
ton, has been adopted by the Japa-
nese navy for forming masts, and an
English firm has secured the right to
use the process in that country.
Experiments under a competent eX-
pert have been made in Prussia dur.
ing the last few months with Western
Pennsylvania coal to determine Its
comparative value with German Goals,
and the results of the comparison are
said to be highly gratifying and show
the superiority of the Pennsylvania
coal.
A new freezing device is being ex-
plotted in Germany, which is especial
ly adapted for domestic purposes.
The apparatus is quite inexpensive to
make and operate. 1t consists merely
of double wall tin vessel with a ca
pacity of five gallons. Hollow space
between the two walls is about an
inch across. BY the gradual admis-
sion of carbonic acid into this hollow
space through an opening at the bot.
tom and from there to the vessel
proper through a cross arm tube. it
is claimed that water may be con-
verted into ice in the space of 60 sec.
onds, and that meats, fruits and bev-
erages, such as beer or wine, may be
chilled or frozen in a few seconds.
This effect is produced by the sudden
great reduction of temperature caused
by the rapid expansion of the car
UOHlc dClu, which is aQmlLLeQ from dI
ordinary carbonic acid reservoir.
One of the newest pieces of electri-
cal equipment for hotel use is a sys-
tenn of little lamps Of the switchboard
type, by which it is possible for a
guest or the management to locate in
stantly the room in which chamber
maids are working. This is great
convenience both to the guests and
management, for the girl having
charge of any particular room may be
communicated with without any loss
of time. Each maid is provided with
a key which serves as a switch han
die for lighting a small lamp at the
doors as she enters a room and stimuli.

mates the sign in the guests room.

PHOENIX. April 29-Taklng his eyes off his prisoner for a few min uteg to chat with a passing acquaint- anoe almost cost Constable Murphy a serious if not fatal injury last night. when Tellesforo Hombres took advan- tage of the officers distraction to draw an ugly knife and make a vic ious swipe, the blade reaching close enough to cut Murphy's coat sleeve from the shoulder to the wrist
 Before Hombres could strike again Murphy grabbed his wrist, and or. dered him to drop the knife With an oath Hombres shouted: I've got you now where want you. You can ar rest other men but you cant arrest me"
 After Murphy had ordered the mur derou5 prisoner to drop the knife the second time and he refused, the of. ticer struck him over the head with q heavy revolver with sufficient force to knock him down, but not hard enough to take all the fight out of Hombres.
 When Hombres fell, Murphy re- tained his grip on the hand that held the knife, but not until Murphy punch ed his knees into the fallen mans stomach several times did he decide to give up.
 Seeing that he had met better man Hombres tried to hide the knife in the dust. crying that he did not have any knife, and that he should not be pounded Murphy was no time find ing the weapon where Homhres had tried 10 hide it.
 Hombres was under the influence of liquor when arrested. Murphy hay ing taken him in tow for kicking on the doors of each house that he pass ed on one of the streets in the south- erl part of town. He had made such Q disturbance that several were com plaining
 But for Murphy. Hombres would probably have landed in the pen for his assault. Before Justice Johnstone this morning. Murphy pleaded in Hombre's behalf. and the result was a county jail sentence of five months. for an offense that could have easily been made a penitentiary offense
