Among the races of humankind which away back of history's records passed like clouds over various parts of the earth one of the most puzziing to ethnoiogists is that of the early bronze age men who dwelt fin Aber- deenshirc. Scotland. and are supposed to have constructed the special forms of stone circles whose remains are now found there. These men differed sig niGcantly. says J. Gray. from all the prehistoric racial types previously de termined in Britain- They were re markabiy broad headed, and their av- Sersge stature was only five feet three inches, as shown by skeletons. The British neolithic race was markedly long headed. and the bronze age race, which built the round tumuli. was also hong headed and tail.

LIVELY SPECULATION
 FEATURE OF MARkET I

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Passing of the Wisconsin Central railroad into the Canadian Pacific through control by the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie was the incentive to lively speculative demand today for a wide variety of stocks Of minor railroads which are considered eligible for in- corporation in.o larger systems. This prospect. although vague and undefin- ed. caught the speculative imagination and the sympathetic effect permeatod the whole list to some extent. The bond market also took on fresh aui- nation and it's breadth was stimulated by the evidence of unsatiatei invest meut in that department.

PHOENIX. Jan. 15.-- Discovering trachoma, an affliction of the eyes, which the federal government consid- CTS serious enough to warrant barring immigrants so afflicted, among some of the pupils, the trustees of the Os- born school have issued strict orders that all children suffering from the disease must be kept away from the school until cured or there is no long CT danger of cOntagion.
 To stamp out the disease before it gains a further fOothold, the Osborn trustees have requested County Health Officer Hughes 10 take charge of the matter and examine pupils sus- pected Of being afflicted. As cases are discovered they will he cared for
 Contagion is believed to have spread SmonE 6 fc% of tbc osborn pupiia from contact with the children of the Indian school. It iF disease that easily spreads, wiping on the same towel or using the same wash bowl as an affected person being one of the most common meafs.
 Trustees in the Osborn district do not fear any serious results. and be lieve that by taking the situation in hand at once they will be able to pre- vent further spread.
 Recently it is said that the same disease was discovered among the children in the Phoenix schools, and the matter given some consideration by City Superintendent Stilwen and the school board, which finally deeid ed that it would be too expensive tc have every child examined.

Sulphur islands Acid Waters Will
 Eat Up Boats

Sulphur Islands Acid Waters VIII
 Eat Up Boats
 X strange lake exists in the center of Sulphur island. off New Zealand IL is fifty acres in extent, about twelve feet in depth and fifteen feet above the level of the sea.
 The most remarkable characteristic of this lake is that the water contains vast quantities of hydrochloric and sul- phuric acids hissing and bubblinS at 8 temperature of no degrees F.
 The dark green cOlored water looks particularly uninviting. Dense clouds of sulphuric fumes constantly roll on this boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised in approaching this lake to avoid the risk of suffocation. On the opposite side of the lake may he seen the tremendous blowholes. which wheh ln full blast present an awe inspiring sight.
 The roar of the steam as it rusbes forth into the air Is deafening, and often huge bOwlders and stones are hurled out to q height of several hun dred feet by the various internal forces of nature.
 A boat can be launched on the lake and if proper care be observed the very edges of the blowholes may be safely explored.
 Some idea of the strength of the acid saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that boat al most dropped 10 pieces after all the Passengers had been landed. as the rivcts had corrcded under the inauenee of the acids.

SEE DECLINE
 AMONG THE
 FRENCH RACE
Decay Said To Be Due To Drink and Improper Mode of Life. How It Affects the Nations Army.

PARIS. Jan. l6.-Fu years past We have been healing good deai about the depopulation of France. and now to this lamentation is being add cd vail over the alleged degeneracy of aer people. If it was not to be a case of quantity so far as the popula- tion is Concerned. quality at least would have been some consolation; but if alarmists are to be credited the French cannot even lay claim to that. It might have been thought that in the matter of physical endow- ments the French. whose genius has certainly not declined could hold their own. seeing that their nation, are alert. nimble and gifted with un- common powers of endurance. But f two members of the Council Gen cral of the Department of the Seine are to be believed. things are in a very bad way. They say that the physical degeneracy of the French race is only too evident. Sociologists have already drawn the attention of the authorities to it. One cause of this unfortunate state of things is to be found in he fact that physical training is neglected for moral and
 intellectual education, SO that due bal ance between them Is not maintained.
 Under the influence of a number Of causes. especially distress, alco- holism and evil living. our social body is proceeding to terrible decac ence. "Ia France SC dissOut.' NJ. Rouvier. the former Minister, is af- firnea to have said.
 The two Councillors-General ex- press the opinion that if the mischief Is to be remedied it's full extent should first be ascertained, SO they propose that the Government be in yited to institute an investigation next year in every department. with a view to finding out the exact num- Der of the young men who have been pronounced to be unfit for military service, and of the recruits who. after having been sent to regiments, have been dismissed because they were not up 10 the mark
 If the two alaFmists gain their point the result of such an inquiry will certainly be awaited with a cer- tain amount of interest It is, of course. we'll known fact that some pIOpOI llon Oi lnt gOuth5 hiuueht hh in large towns are deficient from the point of view of physique, but the same thing can be noticed in every country. On the other hand. the lads recruited from the rural populations are for the most part remarkably sturdy. and will bear comparison with their fellows in every land. The odd thing about this cry of alarm is thAt il is being raised at time when young Freedmen are deyoting much mere attention to outdoor games.

BOURNE TELLS OF NEW LAWS HE ADVOCATES

 lation, New Act of Election Rules, Etc.-SpeakS of the Mammoth Copper Property.

PHOENIN. Jan. z, ---.1 consider leg islation touching rate regulation anu the amendment Of our election laws the most important bills to come be fore this session Of the legislature"
 ]. P. N Bourne. democratic member of the lower house from Pinal county. who Is here to remain until the legis- lature opens next MOnday, expressed himself in these words this morning.
 over in Pinal county we feel the need of railroad legislation as much as any section of the territory. Some of our needs are so glaring that think even the railroads would be willing to concede that our claims are just" continued Bourne.
 AS far as changes in the election laws. 1t would probably he more cor rect to say that we'need an entirely new set of laws. Me need new regis tration laws, should give the people the right to select their candidates at primary and then fix the conditions 1 for the general election in such man ner as to prevent dishonest persons controlling"
 Bourne is now manager of the fa- nous Mammoth mine in Pinal county, which was years ago one of the big ore producers. It has slnce been fin. , volved in litigation, which has been adjusted.
 Several different parties are ne gotiating for the Mammoth property now,' remarked B0urre. and l would not be surprised 70 see deal put through before long that will mean the reOpening and working of this property. which had forty foot ven of ore in the bottom Of it's 800 foot shaft when work was closed down.
 since the mine has been idle the shafts have been fuii of water. and much of the timbering has rOtted but this could be replaced by pumping out the mine and opening up the work ingS.
 There is just LOW much activity adjacent to Mammoth. The Calumet < Arizona people only ten miles away are hauling in a large amount of lum- Der and material. They will erect at once a store building, two big bunk houses. eating houses and offices.
 Tn my opinion it Is only a question Of a little time until a railroad is built from the Southern Pacific main line into our district. The Calumet X Arizona people, and several other companies that are now doing a great deal of work must have this road
 Some few years ago there was an oil excitement at Mammoth. which Bourne says may be revived before long. as things are being gotten in such shape that another well may be bored to prospect the oil field. One well was sunk TOO feet when work was stopped through a disagreement among the interested parties.

An interesting instance of how a

into an advantage is furnished by the
mountaineering machine recently
invented by S. Cowper-Coles. The
trouble in soldering aluminium has al
ways been. that a film of oxid persist
emily forms on the surface of the
metal while the operation Is going on,
and prevents permanent adhesion.
Cowper-Coles turns this to advantage
by butting the ends to be Joined to-
gether, and then heating the joint in
a blowpipe. The film of oxid retains
the molten metal like skin, and when
the proper moment arrives the ends of
the rod are instantly pressed together
by releasing a spring. The oxid skin
bursts at the point of contact and is
driven out, and the clean metal imme-
diately unites, and makes a perfect
Joint.
