Mexico City-Americans were in

windows in dozens Oh American bust.
ness houses were broken here. Squads
of mounted police charged the mobs
and in the fight two of the disturb.

rioters were arrested. The attacks
were led by Mexican students.
When the attack on the Americans
began shutters covering the windows
of the business houses were tightly
drawn and the inmates kept out of
sight of the mob. Police were set to
guard the districts and soldiers with
drawn sabers patrolled the streets.
An American flag which was flying
from a pole in front of store was
hauled down by the mob The flag
was then torn into bits and was tram.

Invention For WASHING Ciothes,


At recent expositions in Melbourne
and Sydney Vice Consul General Hen
ry D. Baker found that much atten-
ton was attracted to an ingenious
Australian invention of machine for
washing clothes by means Of suction
caused by vacuum. which he de-
scribes:
The device in appearance resembles
metal cone or inverted perforated
funnel. 1t may be placed in a copper
boiler or even in an ordinary kerosene
tin. When the water boils, steam is
generated inside the cone, this forcing
the water in a spray out of the top Of
the funnel. thus forming a vacuum in
side the cone. To refill this vacuum
the water is sucked through the
clothes continuously, and this percOla-
ton goes on at the rate of four gal
Ions a minute. the dirt being removed
by force and rapid circulation. The
machine appears to remove all kinds
Of dirt and discoloratiOn, and to leave
the articles washed SNOW white" In
appearance. while it also saves the
rough handling incident to usual Ia
borious rubbing and scrubbing. and so
tends to eliminate wear and tear. and
serious damage to delicate fabrics, ltp-
ems, laces, etc.

WANTS COURT TO
DECIDE COAL CASES

Washington-The secretary of the
interior will recommend in his an.
nual report, soon to be made public,
that the entire group of Alaska coal
land cases. dealing with what are
known as the Cunningham claims, be
taken entirely out of the Jurisdiction
OF the interior department, so far as
their final consideration and adjud.
ication are concerned and placed un.
der the jurisdiction of the court OF
appeals of the District OF Columbia,
For several months these cases
have, at the request of Secretary Bal.
l1nger, been given entirely into the
hands of President Taft for his spec.
ial direction, with a view that no &C.
ton be taken in the matter without
the presidents sanction, and now
that the time is drawing near when
final disposition of these important
cases must be made, Mr.. Ballinger is
anxious that they shall be placed in
such position that even the most
biased citizen may feel that no sort
of personal leaning on the part of
department heads WI be a factor in
the final decision.

Tarsus Lighted by Electricity.

The ancient city Of Tarsus. in Asia
Minor, has recently been lighted by
electricity. The power is taken from
the rapidly flowing Cydnus river
About one and half miles from the
city an eighty horsepower turbine Is
made to drive large dynamo. which
furnishes sufficient power for 1000
lamps Of sixteen candlepower each:
45O are now used to light the streets
Of the city and the remainder will be
furnished to private consumers. 1t Is
proposed to extend the electric light
ing system to Adana and Mersine, the
power to be likewise furnished by
the Cydnus river and transmitted by
wire to these places.

ELECTRIC INSULATION.
New Material Promises to Supsrssds
That Now In Use.

Since electricity first began to be
distributed commercially the subject
of insulation has been an important
one. Glass, hard rubber and porcelain
have long held supremacy. although
innumerable efforts have been made to
find substitutes that were either cheap
err or better or both.
The latest result Of these efforts to
reach the commercial stage is COM
position substance which was first
worked out in Germany and is now
under the name of hemit, from the
name of the discoverer, Mr.. Hemmfng.
The product is known in Germany as
"gummon." 1t is claimed for hemit
that it has a specific resistance at
least equal to unglazed porcelain. Is
neither consumed. warped or cracked
by high temperatures, Notwithstanding
red heat or even the heat of the cleo
trio arc for a considerable time; has
not the brittleness Of glass or porce-
lain. can be machined after being
shaped, is pressed cold, thus permit
ting the insertion Of metal parts; does
not shrink or warp in the process of
making, thus securing accuracy and
uniformity in size, and can compete
with glass and porcelain in price.
These are surely a list of qualities
which should insure 1t very large
use.
That the claims are well founded
seems to be borne out by the actual
experience with the material I'M Ger
many. where it has now been III use
for four or FIVE years. Certain of its
qualities will enable it to entirely sup
plant and. in fact. revolutionize some
lines Of electrical fittings. Lamp sock
cts may be among these.-Illuminatin

Denatured alcohol, costing one-eighth
the price Of pure alcohol. is used for
the manufacture Of the liqueurs and
aperitifs, which are so largely con-
sumed in France. Alcohol, dena-
tured by the addition Of methyl al
cohol. is mixed with an equal volume
Of water and exposed for few days
to the sun. air and rain. which have
the effect Of precipitating the methyl
Palcohol so completely that its flavor
remains barely perceptible. The mix
ture is then brought to the desired al
coholic strength by the addition OF
strong spirits favored to suit the taste
of the consumer and sharpened by the
addition Of a pint Of nitric acid to,
each barrel.
