State Surveyor w. ID. Twit-

Of inspection which covered the
entire Texas Oklahoma state line
Their mission was for the pur-

determined by Henry S. Pritchet
in 1885. The latter succeeded in
locating the Tooth meridian. He
is now connected with the Car

known throughout the country.
Pritchett located the Tooth mer-
idian at Childress, astronomical

confirmed.
Messrs Twitchell and Pritchett

LORRIE

| but it was evident to both of them thai
they were talking beside the mark
and that there was something more
| important to say yet.
Lorrie ran in Guys mind. Should he
tell his father now, tonight, or wait:
While he was trying to make up his
mind Gillow entered:
Dinner is served, my lord
Rather solitary meal for you
Guy" said the earl. I am sorry
can't join you. Will you come VI
again if it doesn't bore you?"
"Of course | will come up again
SIR said Guy.
"You may bring your cigar, if you
will"
Guy bowed and followed the valet
who conducted him down stairs as il
he had been a stranger, and then
threw open the door of the small din
ing room as if Guy had been a prince,
also.
In accordance with strict etiquette
Guy should have eaten this elaborate
ucdl III SOlSIHl dllu uiShihCu oliCASS'
but he rather spoiled the effect by
talking now and then with the butler.
Guy, drawing his chair to the fire,
finished the bottle of rare claret. All
through the dinner he had been
thinking Of Lorrie, and of that other
dinner at the rectory, when she had
come down like ghost and sat oppo-
site him-the girl he had kissed in
the churchyard! And now she was his.
His! What would his father say if he
knew it? He was waiting up stairs
for him. Should he tell him or not?
Guy had dined like a prince, but he
knew that there was more silver on
the table than in his fathers account
at the bank. The house of Latcham
was on its last legs, Notwithstanding
all the state and splendor. There was
no one who could save it but him.
Could he go and tell his father that he
meant to let the ruin fall?
What was he to do? He sat long
over the fire bordering and trying to
arrive at decision, but he rose at
last still undecided
He rang for Mr. Gillow, without
whose escort to conduct him to the
earl's room etiquette would not per-
nit him to dispense, still wavering
between his opinions.

CLAIMS HEIRSHIP
BY PECULIAR WILL

Evansville, Ind, May 22.-Seeking
an estate of 100000 left by Marshall
McMurren, an eccentric, miser, Mrs.
Matte Hannun of Vincennes, Indi-
ana, filed here yesterday will,
scrawled upon piece of coarse wrap
ping paper, and which she alleged
was written by McMurren twenty
years ago.
McMurren as a tramp, she declares,
appeared at the home where she was
employed near Vincennes. She gave
him bread and coffee, but this an
gered her employer, and he drove
McMurren away. He went to the
home of Mrs. Emma Grant and wrote
the will, says Mrs. Hannun, who was
then Matte Drain.
Mrs. Grant and another witness to
the document are dead. The docu-
ment says that he leaves all to the
woman for her kindness in feeding
him.

ELECTRIC RAY
DEADL|ES. ..,1A
AND SOON MAY RENDER WAR
AN ABSOLUTELY FUTILE
RECOURSE.
ASTONISHING POSSIBILITIES DIS
CERNED HY ACUTE SCiEN-
TiSTS-TESLA'S VIEW.

st. Louis, May 20.-Electriclty as
the coming agency of worldwide
peace will be one of the chief sub
iects discussed at the convention OF
the National Electric Light associa
ton this week, because OF the general
belief among the leaders Of the cleo
trical industry that a ray will be de-
veloped in the very near future which
will be the deadliest engine OF de-
struction ever conceived. In other
! words, the experts feel that electric
ity will be SO handled that war Will
be absolutely futile. In Europe the
newspapers have been discussing ex-
periments by some scientists, who
claim to have thrown a certain kind
of electrical current so that it dealt
death to a horse at a distance of four
miles
The cain is made that whole arm
les could be struck down in the same
fashion, and American electrical ex-
perts are not inclined to scott, be-
cause they recall the prediction OF
| NickOla Tesla, made in public ad
dress in 1893, that this would be one
of the accomplishments of the future.
American experts have also long
been discussing the probabilities OF
an invention which would render air
ships wholly useless as an agency OF
warfare, and that would even put the
greatest battleships ever built out OF
commission long before they got
within range where they could do any
execution themselves.
Speaking in 1899 Tesla said: Il
firmly believe that it is practicable
to disturb, by means of powerful
machine, the electro-static condition
of the earth, and thus transmit in
telligible signals and, perhaps, power.
In fact, what is there against the
carrying out of such scheme? We
now know that electric vibration may
be transmitted through a single con-
ductor Why, then, not try to avail
ourselves of the earth for this pur-
pose? We need not be frightened by
the idea of distance. To the weary
wanderer counting the mile posts,
the earth may appear very large, but
to that happiest of all men, the as
| tronomer, who gazes at the heavens,
and by their standard judges the
magnitude of our globe, it appears
livery small. And SO / think it must
seem to the electrician; for when ne
considers the speed with which an
electric disturbance is propagated
| through the earth all his ideas OF
distance must vanish. A point OF
great Importance would be first to
know what is the capacity OF the
earth, and what charge does it con-
tain If electrified. Though we have
no positive evidence of charged
body existing in space without other
loppositely electrified bodies being
near, there is a fair probability that

the earth is such body, for by
whatever process it was separated
from other bodies-and this is tine
accepted view of it's origin-it must
have retained charge as occurs IN
all processes of mechanical separa-

insulated in space, its capacity would
be extremely sfhall-less than one
thousandth of farad. Whether the
earth contains charge. or not. and

and had grown up TO be a useful citi-

1t is a curious fact that despite
most couples longing for son, the
hospital stork does net begin TO leave
enough girls to supply the demand.
When people come TO the hospital for
the purpose of adopting a child they
invariably want a girl, and often the
poor little boys go begging for a
