PROFESSOR
JENNY and Wife
HAVE RETURNED
WE'LL KNOWN MINING AUTHOR
ITY HAS BEEN WITNESS
IN BIG SUIT.

Professor and Mrs. w. P. Jenny
have returned to Tonopah after an
absence of three months. They are
again domiciled in the Wingfield
home in Central street.
Mr. Jenney was called to Butte,
Montana ,as witness in the cele-
hrated case of St. Louis Mining and
Milling company VS.. the Montana
Mining company, Limited, of, Lon
don. The case has been before the
court fer twenty-five years. This
last court controversy makes the
fourth time the matter has been be-
fore the federal tribunals. The
point at issue was the apex ques-
ton which for years has caused
much litigation in the great copper
camp.
The suit involved large amount
of ore taken from the Drum Lum-
mon ground which apexed in the
St. Louis ground. The verdict was
in favor of the St. Louis people who
were given Judgment for nearly
$250,060. Many of the most emf
nent engineers in the west were in
attendance upon the trial as expert
witnesses. Professor Jenney was
among the number, being called by
the plaintiffs.
The Drum Lummon property is
believed to have produced $35, 000,.

WRITES Poem
With TONOPAH
AS The THEME
MRS. NJ. c. WATSON, CLEVER
WRITER, TAKES UP HER
RESIDENCE HERE.

The following from the Goldfeld
News, speaks of lady who has
taken up her residence in this city:
Mrs. NJ. C. Watson has gone to
Tonopah to reside and her genial
presence will be missed by many ot
the ladies of this city. The lady is
a fluent writer and has many poems
and stories typical of the desert.
Her friends are treasuring a lately
issued postal card, with the follow
ing poem, above a typical desert
picture, showing the barren, jagged
mountain ranges:
TONOPAH
Saw-toothed and Jagged and broken,
The desert mountains rise,
Black, and blasted and lifeless,
Sharpely etched on the skies.
Long had they guarded the treasure,
Buried and covered deep,
Under the granite and basalt,
Lining each rocky steep.
Grim and silent and brooding,
They kept their secret well,
Never a voice of the desert,
Lifted itself to- tell. ,
Then came the men from the borders
Bronzed, and dauntless and bold
Unafraid of the loney wastes,
They sought for the hidden gold
Saw-toothed and jagged and broken
The desert mountains frown
On the tireless work of the miners
On the roofs of the growing
town.
They hear the throbbing of engines
They see the traffic u men,
Where only the silence and vastnes:
! Of the desert wastes had been.

A 19-year-old Italian boy-small al
most as u child, and pallld from over
study-sat dreaming in the gray shad-
ows of the Pisa Cathedral one day In
1888. And from his dreams arose
some Of the greatest inventions and
discoveries ever accomplished. The
boy was Calico, eldest son OF an i'm
poverished Florentine nobleman. He
had spent his childhood devising
clever mechanical toys out OF the
scantiest materials; had dabbled in
literature and painting as he grew
up; had sought to become a monk,
and had been persuaded by his ia
Their to study medicine instead.
The young medical student, as he
sat in the cathedral, fell to observing
the great bronze chandelier that hung
by q long rod from the roof. Instead
OF remaining motionless, the chande-
ler vibrated almost imperceptibly to
and fro. Calico wondered why. Ten
thousand other Italians had seen that
swaying lamp and had taken its mo-
ton for granted. But Calico had
way OF taking nothing for granted.
He knew nothing of mathematics,
but in the working out Of the vibrat-
ing-lamp problem, mathematics would
be necessary. So he threw over med
icine and became a mathematician.
The throb of that cathedral chande-
Tier started him to bordering over a
theory propounded
lamp and by German named
WhatltTausht. Copernicus, name
ly that the sun stands still and that
the earth revolves about 1t. Also,
that the various stars and the moon
have a similar system Of rotation.
Might not this alleged motion Of the
earth account for the vibrating Of
the chandelier? Calico resolved to
know more of the matter. He was not
content to take for granted the old
doctrine that the earth stood still and
the sun circled about It. But to go
further into the matter It was neces-
sary to study the heavens. This he
had no competent means of doing.
So he went to work devising such
means. Some years earlier Middle
burg optician had ground bits Of glass
in such a way as to magnify objects
seen through them. The experiment
had not amounted to much. But Gal
ileo thought he saw q way of improv-
ing on it. He figured out that by
placing q convex lens and concave
lens in certain position toward each
other anything seen through the two
would be enlarged. This is the prin-
ciple of the modern opera-glass. He

A curious crowd gathered outside
q little house in the French town OF
6aintes one day In the middle Of the
sixteenth century. In the throng a
woman was weeping and wringing her
hands, stopping now and again to
stare through the open doorway OF the
dwelling.

walled. ITO feed that miserable fur
mace, what do you think he has done?
He has spent every penny Of our saw
ings and has sold the clothes of his
back to buy fuel. We are starving,
yet he pays no heed to my protests.
He has ripped the palings from our
fence, our door from its hinges, the
boards from our floors He has broken
up every stick Of our furniture. And
all for what use? To feed his furnace,
that 1t may attain a greater heat and
that his wretched bits of pottery may
be glaZed!"
This man whom his wife and neigh
bors declared mad was Bernard Pals
sy, son of a French glass painter. He
had followed his fathers trade com
fortably enough in Saintes, where he
had settled down and married. But
one day he CHANGED upon an old earth

methods he employed. But Palsy

of. Any New" American western
town can show similar structures.
They are 'clinker" built two-story al
fairs unpretentious as to outward ap-
pearance.
But it is their history that counts.
These buildings always have possess
ed more or less interest to American
visitors, as they were erected during
the first year Of the American war
of independence. AS specimens OF
early London building work they pos
sess an interest in themselves. After
the great London fire Of 1906. q large
number of wooden buildings were
erected in various parts Of London and
though these particular ones did not
come into existence until a hundred
years afterwards they were regarded
in their day as among the most impos'
ing edifices of their kind.
Historically, the buildings possess
interest as having been the temporary
abiding place of the famous engineer
Isambard Kingdom Brunei, who built
the first tunnel under the Thames
and also planned the famous Clifton
suspension bridge which won him
fame in the engineering world. Brunei
also was the designer of Che Great
E..stern, the largest ship ever built
and of the I.rst propeller ship to cross
the Atlantic. 1t is said that he lived
in these houses during the years of the
greatest engineering activity.

MENTALITY OF DEEP SEA FISH

EISH that inhabit the depths of the sea beyond

eyes at all; but nature has provided of them
with organs for the emission of phosphorescent
light, and in the eye itself performs the
double service of illumination and vision There is
thus feeble light in those gloomy depths. An

Arkansas Poultry Association Last Night Decided to Ask the Govern mem to Establish Poultry Expe-

Little Rock, Dec. l0.-Uncle Sam will be asked by the Arkan- sas Poultry and Pet Stock Asso citation to raise chickens in Ar kansas.
 There was meeting of the as- sociation at the Little Rock Poul- try show last night, at which about 25 of the so members were present. c. F. Bridewell, of Hope, president, handled the gav- el, while G. c. Watkins, of Little Rock, the secretary, took the minutes of the meeting. J. |. Long, DeQueen, vice president; aud A. P. Rayland, Pine Bluff, and George A. Ashley, Ruther- ford, members of the executive committee, were also present.
 It was decided to organize every county of the State, and to do this, appoint vlce president in every county. These vice presi- dents are expected 10 arrange for shows in their counties, and the State association will do all in its power to make the show a success. It is thought this will increase the interest in poultry raising in every section. The work was started by appointing E. N. Hop kins vice president for Polk county, w. E. Brown vice presi- dent for Howard, J. k. Anderson for Scott, Gordon Mathews for Craighead, and L. A. Hooker smith for Saline.
 A resolution was offered memo ralizing the Arkansas representa- tives in the Senate and House of Representative to work for the establishment of a poultry ex perimental station iu Arkansas similar to those in Missouri, Iowa and other States.
 G. c. Watkins, secretary of the association and editor ot the Union Poultry Journal, was dele gated to present to the state leg islature the facts and data re- quired to secure State aid for the poultry experimental station.
