MINING NOTES.
A NEW ENTERPRISE

A,oert Bemer civil engineer
for the American Beet Sngsr Trust
Company, has been the last mont"
locating some Limestone deposits
near the mouth OF Cement Crees.
1t appears that he was in thst 10
cality last season tracing out and
s.mplilg the beds for the company
and the tests proved su,table for
their use (Which resulted in the 10
eating of the grounds where the
deposits are situated.
1t is perhaps not commonly
known that large quantities OF
crude limestone rock is used in the
manufacture OF beet Suga1. The
rock must be pure carbonate OF
lime and free from silica or iron.
The stone is shipped in its natural
condition after being qnarrieh-Up-
on being received at the factory 4
is subjected to treatment by which
the carbonic acid contained in it is
vsporized aud used for treating
the leet pulp and extracting the
sacchsrine substance from which
the sugar is made. The residue or
pure lime remaining is then utilized
in purifying and clarifying the su-
gar. THIS company is using at the
present time not less than thirty
thousand tons of limestone in their
several factories and it is their pur-
pose to open up extensive quarries
on Cement Creek. From twenty five
to fifty cars OF the rock ia t.. be
auarried and shipped first in order
to positively demonstrate the beds
, to have a general evenuess in quail
ity. After this is proven.a railway
epur is to be extended from the
point just below the bridge up East
river to the limestone beds on Ce.
ment Greek. The lodges to be
ouarried are located high up on
the mountain and tramway will
be constructed to deliver the rock
down the mountain to the cars
Should this proposition be carried
out as planned, the enterprise viii
doubtless assume larger proportions
than anything started in this por
ton Of Gunnison County. The
beet sugar, business is still in in
fancy in this country but IL SUR
to double up many times III
present growth and production. 1
is likely that the Sugar Trust vii
be using twice the amount OF linn
rock now, used annually within
the nextthree or five years. 1t j

1--WE hold that the party should be

THE CAMERA C3SCURA.

From It Was Evolved Our Modern Pho.
tographic Apparatus.
The CAMERA was invented by an Ital-
ian named Baptlsta Porta, though it
was not at first used for photograph
ing. 1t was in reality merely a dark
room, into which the light was admit
ted through a little round hole In one
side. The rays of light coming from
objects outside of this room entered 1t
through this aperture and made a pic
ture on the other side of the room
glowing in all the beauty and color Of
nature itself. but rather indistinct and
upside down.
This dark room was contrived by
Porta about the middle of the sixteenth
century. He improved 1t later by
placing n glass lens in the aperture
and outside a mirror which received
the rays Of light and reflected them
through the lens so that the Image
upon the opposite wall within was
made much brighter, more distinct
and in natural or erect position. This
was really the first camera obscura. an
invention which is enjoyed to the pres
ent day.
Now our modern Photographic cam,
era is merely a small camera obscura
in its simplest form. carrying a lens at
one end aud a ground glass screen at
the other. 1t is. however. often much
more complicated in its construction.

Arabs are true Ishmaelites. Their
life is n constant wandering They
live entirely on the produce of their
herds Their tents are quickly taken
down or put up aud easy Of transport.
They are made OF camers hair. loosely
woven, supported on poles or long guy
ropes. They protect the occupants from
the hot sun. but not from the rain,
and in winter the epcampments are
uncomfortable places.
The interior is crowded with all the
belongings of these shepherd warriors

ARSENIC POISONING.
The Torture That Ensues Before
Death Brings Relief.

When a single-dose Of arsenic in suf-
flcient quantity to be felt has been
taken colicky pains. bowel disorder
and perhaps nausea result In the
course Of an hour after poisonous
dose has been taken an intense burn
ing pain is felt in the esophagus and
stomach. This spreads to the entire
anterior portion OF the lower part Of
the trunk. a sense Of construction at
the throat and an acrid, metallic taste
accompany the pain. Then vomiting
and relaxation of the bowels begin.
As the case progresses the symptoms
increase in intensity. Then comes q
thirst that water will not allay, al
though it apparently increases the
stomach disturbance. The victim
groans and writhes.
Now he implores the doctor to save
him. Then he begs to be killed and put
out of pain. The extremitles become
icy. The pulse is small, feeble and FIRE
quent. and the breathing Is labored
embarrassed and painful because OF
abdominal tenderness. The surface Of
the body becomes dark and Of that
blush color that medical men call cy
anosed. Violent cramps add their tor
ture. exhaustion becomes collapse, con
vulsions or coma ensues, and deatl
ends the agony The torture last
sometimes from five to twenty hours.
In some cases these symptoms occur
hut in modified form, and the docto
will apparently get the better Of tn
disease The remission will be but 10
day or two. Then the abdomen vii
swell. and icy GOODNESS will pervad
the frame. Shlverlng will become pro
nounced trembling. then cramps, con
vulsions and death.

A Train That Won the Behind Time
Record Medal.
A train Of railway system In the
southwest once arrived at its destina
ton nearly three years late The cir
cumstances were these:
The train left Bolivar. just across
Galveston bay from Galveston. on
Sept. s, 1900. aud was caught in the
great storm that so nearly destroyed
the Texan city. Bolivar is seventy
five miles from Beaumont, which was
the point Of the trains destination.
Before the train had Travelled far on
its journey II was caught In the storm.
Thirty miles Of the track were washed
away. and the train was left stranded
on sandy waste. Many persons who
lived on Bolivar peninsula were saved
from death by taking refuge in the
train After the storm subsidized they
walked to Bolivar with the passengers,
but the abandoned train was left on
the prairie.
The storm bankrupted the railway
and no effort TO rescue the engine and
cars was made until 1908. Had not
the road suffered so seriously In that
storm the property would have proved
OF great value "A few months later
when oil was struck ut Beaumont. In
1908, however, the road underwent re
pairs. when the train was drawn into
Beaumont. where II was greeted by q
cheering crowd.-New York Press.

GANG OF BURGLARS
WORKING ABOUT
BENNINGTON
Five Breaks Reported in Three
Nights
OBTAINED LITTLE PLUMBER
Two Stores in Arlington, Two in SO.
SALISBURY and One at North
Bennington Entered

The burglar or burglars who broke
into two general stores in Arlington
and two In SALISBURY apparently
continued their successful career on
to North Bennington, for yesterday
morning it was found that the store
of c. II. Houghton G. Co., had been
entered during Saturday night.
There is reason to believe, judging
from the similarity of methods used
that all five burglaries were commit
ted by the same persons. The bur
glars we're evidently in search OF
money for they took but small
amount Of plumber at each break.
There is a suspicion, with consider
able reason for its foundation, that
the burglars are operating by means
of an automobile with which they
travel rapidly from town to town. At
the time of the recent burglary In
Pownal an automobile drove rapidly
away from the vicinity of the Pad
dock house Immediately after the
thief made his escape from the two
women who discovered his presence
in an upstairs room. The fact that
pair of No. shoes we're left by
the thief at Pownal and that pair
OF shoes Of similar size were taken
in Arlington is considered a connect
ing link in the theory that all six
burglaries were committed by tho
same thieves. An automobile with.
out lights was driven through Airing
ton late on the night of the burglar
les in that town and also on the night
Of the breaks in SALISBURY.
The first two burglaries we're COM
mitted Thursday night in Arlington.
at the store of Thompson & Howard
where pair of shoes and other small
articles were taken. The store of Z.
C. Woodwork, the postmaster, was
also entered At both places a small
amount of change was secured.
Friday night the stores OF G. s.
Mattison and c. r. and A. B. Hawk
ms were entered. At the Mattison
store they took a cheap watch and
about two dollars in money and at
the Hawkins store some 10 cent Gig
ars, iackknives and a small amount
OF change. AT the latter store they
obtained about so Lincoln pennies
from the cash drawer.
The plumber obtained at the store
OF c. II. Houghton G. Co., was worth
about SIS and comprised some Inger-
soil watches, cheap jewelry and about
SO In money.
There are three tramps in jail
whom States Attorney W. ]. Meag-
ther Believes may have had hand in
the burglaries. One OF the tramps
was arrested in North Bennington by
William Hurley and Louis Mattison
and the other two were picked up in
this village
The states attorney and the local
officers have been hard at work on
the cases during the past three days.
They have searched every conceIv-
able hiding place in and about North
Bennington but without result. They
visited Eagle Bridge and made a
|, thorough investigation but the only
/ result was the arrest OF a suspicious
character who later proved his limo.
ceEcc
The immediate vicinity round about
Remington appears TO be infested
With tramps TO a much larger degree
than usual. II persons at whose
houses these Migrants call would no
tify the authorities the nuisance
could soon be abated.

ROMANCE OF ARCHITECTURE.
Origin Of the Graceful corinthan Style
Of Capital

In the winter a young girl had died
in Corinth Some time afterward her
maid gathered together various trim
kets and playthlngs which the girl had
loved and brought them TO the girls
grave. There she placed them In a
basket near the monument and put a
large square tile upon the basket to
prevent the wind from overturning 1t.
1t happened that under the basket was
n root OF an acanthus plant. When
spring came the acanthus sproued
but lis shoots were not able to pierce
the basket. and accordingly they grew
around It. having the basket in their
midst Such of the long leaves as
grew up against the four protruding
corners of the tile on the top of the
basket curled round under these cor
ners and formed pretty voutes.
Kallimachos. the sculptor. walking
that way one day. saw this and inn
mediatey conceived the notion that the
form of the basket with the plaque
on top of it and surrounded by the
leaves and stalks of acanthus would
be comedy heading for columns In
architecture. lie from this idea formed
the beautiful Corinthian style of CAPT
tai Such. at least. Is the story as the
architect Vitruvius told it 1900 years
ago.
