DISCIPLES OF NEW FAITH
ARRIVE IN MEDFORD
fFrom the Mail Trihune.l

(rTom the MAIL IrlDune.J
There arrived in this city today
two men who call themselves simply
Thomas and Henry. They are mid
dle-aged men and are quietly dress
ed. quiet In manner and by no means
could they be classed other than
they are. These are two men Of
many others who are running over
every part Of the known world. They
have a message. They are preach
ing the advent of a new and all-pre-
vailing dispensation. They are not
orators nor do their words indicate
that they have received a very or
nate education, but they give their
message In pleasing manner.
These men are members of con-
gregation in Benton Harbor, Mich,
which believe in the divinity Of la
Dor, and to manifest It they have
built their own homes and places of
worship. They do no harm. They
honor their own bodies. They do not
believe in death. Black is the en-
blem of death, hence their news
papers and all their publications are
printed In blue on white paper
1t is something impressive to think
of this little congregation sending
missionaries all over the earth. They
go without money in their purses;
they do not beg-indeed, they are
not eager to accept cnything. They
ride from place to place on their bi
cycles, holding services on the
streets, conform to the laws, do nc
evil and think no evil.
You will see them on the streets
this evening. Listen to them q mo
ment. They are not transformers

ARE INSTALLING
BLOCK SYSTEM
Southern Pacific Is Guarding It's
Tracks North of TOlo as
Far as Gold Hill.

A block system is being put in by
the Southern Pacific on its track be-
tween Gold Hill and Tolo, a dis
tance of about seven miles being
covered. It is of the most improved
automatic kind, such as the South
ern Pacific is installing or has in
stalled all over its system, and re-
duces the possibility of accident by
collision to a minimum. Sixteen men
are employed in the crew working
out of Gold Hill. When the work
here is completed the crew go to
Glendale, where a system will be put
in. The system will probably be ex-
tended from Glendale south.

mospheric temperature than 1t could
do II these colors were absent.
Kerner has called attention to the
fact that In many Alpine species nor
NAL green color may develop in the
lower valley where the weather is
warm, at the same time that bright
reds and purple dominates in the
same species Of plants in higher ele-
vations, where the weather is cooler.
II one of these red or purple colored
plants Is transplanted from the cold
heights down to the warmer valleys
1t will speedily lose its high color
and become normally green, while az
the same time, II a green plant from
the warmer location is transplanted
to the colder elevations above, It will
not be able to grow and exercise its
normal functions until It has devel-
oped its red or purple color.
Stahl has shown by actual expert
ment that plants possessing these
higher colors absorb heat enough
that the atmosphere Immediately un'
der their leaves In still time will
register somewhat warmer than the
general surrounding atmosphere. He
attributes this to the heat absorbed
by the purple coloring matter during
bright sunlight.
Keny observed that when the col
oring matter of green plant wa'
placed in solution in a glass dish in {
sunny window that It would Absorb

SUBMARINE FLOTILLA
Returns After Ten DAYS Practice Cruise

The first division of the submari ne
fleet, commanded by Lieut.. F. V. Nc
Nair, u. S. N, returned Saturday
after three days successful practice
cruise. The fleet left the Naval
Academy early on Wednesday morn
ing and spent the three days in the
vicinity of Solomon's Island, where
is found water specially adapted for
pacticing the discharge of torpedoes
from the submarines.
The work began each day at a. m.
and was continued until in the
evening. The steamer Standish fol-
lowed the fleet down the bay, and the
crews of the submarines were given
quarters on that vessel.
The submarines are here for practice
for an indefinite period, using the
Naval Academy as their base, and an
other practice cruise is expected next
week. The crews and officers are en-
thusiastic in the work of these small,
but efficient and powerful engines of
