which communicates with a recess in
which a ball. F, is placed. In addition
to this there is an inclined jet opening.
E. AT the opposite end Of the plug
there is Il screen. II. which serves to
strain the compressed air that enters
by way of pipe J.. In the other leg of
the Y shaped casing is the pipe l..
which leads to the point at which it is
desired to discharge the sand. Within
the casing and extending partially over
the passage leading to pipe l. is Il
shelf. X. In operation when compress
cd air is admitted to the nozzle it
forces it's way past the ball r into the
sand of the sand box A. A portion of
the air is directed backward to the jet
opening L. producing a partial
vacuum. which causes the sand that
is agitated by the other jet Of air to
flow along the shelf X and thence be
carried down the discharge pipe l..
The ball T. prevents the CONSTRUCTED
opening in the nozzle from being
clogged with sand. aud this construct
ed opening serves to reduce the fluid
pressure by permitting it's expansion
past the ball + so that a destructive
sand blast is avoided thereby. The
inventor of this improved track sander
is John Henry Waters Of Augusta.

Tho Newest Pump.

The invention Of a pumping process
by the explosion of a gas affords a new
and probably a%'practical way of rails
ing water in large quantities cheaply.
The gas to be exploded is compressed
over the surface of the water. which
is free to escape upward through a
tube. By the explosion great pressure
is generated. and 81 quantity of water
is driven out of the reservoir. A fresh
supply of combustible material is then
quickly introduced. which is compress
ed by some of the water flowing back
down the tube. The process is repeat
ed indefinitely as long as there is any
!. fluid in the reservoir. It Is astonisb-
ingly simple. No apparatus is required
in the escape tube. not even a check
valve.

BEST BREEDS FOR

these breeds the best for our purpose
is probably the Shropshire.

Their meat and wool are both of good

districts where they abound the
farmer who has a special liking for

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-With
the positive Identification today at the
morgue of the body found buried last
night in the rear of a vacant house as
the remains Of Miss Eva Swan, the last
link in the chain of events surrounding
the disappearance of the young Paso
Robles school teacher was made. The
identification was made by Mrs. c. A.
Weir, with whom the missing girl
roomed while she was in this city.
Earlier in the day Mrs. Weir failed to
identify the jewels found on the body.
Although the features Of the corpse
had been badly eaten by the acid, Mrs.
Weir unhesitatingly identified the
corpse as that of Miss Swan. With the
identification Of the body the detectives
working on the case now are centering
their efforts on the apprehension of
William Saake who, according to the
story told by Bernard Gordan, assisted
DR.. Grant in disposing Of the remains.
SEARCH FOR YOUTH
Mrs. e. Hughes, an aunt of the
youth, was brought to headquarters,
and for time denied any knowledge
that such a person existed, but finally
admitted that Saake was her nephew
and had lived at her house. She de-
clared, however, that she knew moth
ing Of his present whereabouts. His
that Saake is In Eugene, Ore. Efforts
are also being made to locate Pike, the
mysterious youth who in company
with Gordan and Saake dogged the
steps of DR.. Grant in an unceasing
attempt to obtain money from him. Ac-
cording to the story told by Gordan,
Pike always acted as spokesman for
the trio in frequent interviews with
Grant, and to him all the payments Of
money were made.
After viewing the body and visiting
the place where it was found, the
coroner's jury adjourned to await the
production of more evidence.
DR.. Grant and Miss Messerschmidt
are still on the detinue book, and un-
less an attempt is made to secure their
release on habeas corpus 1t is not be-
lieved that they will be charged until
q verdict is returned by the coroner's
jury.
