Santa Teresa was Arizpe. The de-

the fabulous richness of the ore and
the enormous quantity that was pro-

it was learned that the chances are
good of the property being opened up.
The owner of the Santa Teresa
mine was Ignacio Munoz, man of
great wealth who lived at Guaymas.
The abandonment Of the property was
due to the raids of Yaqui and Apache
Indians. These redskins massacred
many of the miners and the remain

BOYS LEARN REAL COOKING
School for Chefs 10 Latest Scheme Of

Points to Be Taught.

London.-A school for chefs Is the
latest scheme of the London county
council. 1t is to be a branch of the
Westminster Technical institute and
as a beginning Is boys from fourteen
to sixteen years Of age will soon start
a three-years' course in cooking. At
the end of that time they will be
placed as assistants to chefs at large
restaurants or hotels or private
houses, where it is hoped they will in
time qualify as chief cooks and thus
meet the foreigner on his own ground.
The boys who enter must have
passed the sixth standard at school.
Their instructor will be French
chef, who will teach them how to
Judge food in buying it, the proper
storage of dry and perishable arti-
cles, the care Of the refrigerator and
larder, the management Of cooking
apparatus, the care and cleanliness of
cooking utensils and the whole art of
preparing food from the making of
soup stock to the concoction of the
most delicate sauce or souf1e.

Life on a Battle Ship.

To the "landlubber," one Of the Pc
lculiar and ofttimes discomforting ele.
ments of life on a warship during tar
get practice is the necessity for num-
erous baths. After each volley all the
men on deck must take bath. Some
times there are four or five baths a
day. This becomes quite monotonous.
The Japanese inaugurated this prac-
tice. A bath is taken before and after
shooting, to guard against possible in
fection Of open scratches and cuts
from the flying powder. When the big
guns go off, the landsman on deck is
thrown into CONSERVATION. A horrible,
sickening wrench makes one feel as
IL each limb was separately grasped
and pulled in various directions, and

legs" again. Life aboard ship is not
the ordeal that rumor has character
lied It. The hardtack legend is er-
froneous. The sailors are well fed,
with the best viands procurable, and
their bread, far from being hard tack,
10 as good as that which Is served in
ANY high class hotel or restaurant.
There is spirit of good fellowship
among the men below decks. Each
man has his separate duties definitely
designated and there are no petty
bealousies.-J. w. Aide in Leslie's.

London.-"The term cold as g fish

said DR.. Francis Ward, lecturing at
the Royal Photographic society's ex-
hibition.
Doctor Ward showed by a series
Of photographs that fish are able to
express their emotions in a definite
manner. The pike showed expectancy
by raising its dorsal fin, and disap-
pointment at losing it's prey by curv-
ing its back-literally getting the

Certain fish, 1t was shown, could ex-
press fear by turning pale, their pig
ment cells changing to lighter color;
and others could bluff successfully
by initiating the more vicious and
weaponed fish among which It lived.

ancient mine In the government
archives at Madrid is due to the fact
that all mines operated In Mexico
during Spanish colonial days had tc
contribute a part of their output to
the crown. A careful record was
kept of the output Of each mine. Its
location was a matter Of official rec
ord with the government. Duplicates
of these ancient records are to be
found In the archives Of many Of the
old towns and cities in Mexico.
1t Is said that the output Of the

Judah was named after a predeces-

The court says that as the Jews
spread through the land bordering on
the Mediterranean they drew upon
other languages for personal names,
while retaining Biblical ones, and
such new names became popular in
Italy, Persia, Arabia and Turkey. This
led to the adoption Of two names, one
for civic purposes and the other for
Hebrew documents. In 1887 the Aus

to adopt surnames.

sorption of the poisons produced by
intestinal germs was the chief cause
of premature degeneration Of the or

DR.. A. Distaso, Professor Metchni
koffs assistant, who has been con
ducting further experiments in the lab
oratorles at st. Mary's hospital, ex
plains how the great savant had
proved his assertions.
"One Of the chief degenerative
changes one finds in old age, whether
premature or natural" he said, "is in
the condition Of the arteries. Instead
Of the vessels remaining soft and elias
tic, they become hard and twisted
and brittle. This condition constitutes
the disease known as arterio-sclerosis
The true cause Of this degeneration
has never been known. Professor
Metchnikoff, however, was convinced
that the disease bore some relation to
the bacilli in the large intestine.
These microbes produce three well
known substances in the digestive
tract-skatol, endol and phenol. Oh

he injected them into guinea pigs, and
in few weeks all the animals sc
treated developed brittle, hard and tor

found in a person suffering from ar

mission to change his name to Bur
ston, by which name he was known
in college. While the application was
denied only because the papers were
faulty, the court held that 1t is not
necessary to bother some court when
you want to change your name. A
man may legally name himself or ac-
quire name by reputation, general
usage, and habit.
Justice Finelite mentions persons
known to history who changed their
names without recourse to law, among

President Grant, who had the name
Hiram before Ulysses dropped

"The numerous cases of kidney and

mainly due to the fact that the drink

To cure Rheumatism you must make
the kidneys do their work; they are
the filters of the blood. They must
be made to strain out of the blood the
waste matter and acids that cause
rheumatism; the urine must be neu-

most of all, you must keep these acids
from forming in the stomach. This
Is the cause of stomach trouble and

WEIGHT OF A SOUL
ALLEGED DEMONSTRATION Is
RIDlCULED BY WRITER.
Experiments of Or. Macdougall OF
America In Weighing Dying Per.
sons Declared lnconclusive and
Not to Be Taken Seriously.


There is popular notion that the
weight of the living body is less than
that Of the dead one" says a writer in
the Lancet in recent issue of the
Pioneer Mail correspondent discuss
es this question in connection with
the behavior of crocodile which he
shot dead while 1t was basking asleep
on quicksand.
When shot the crocodile began to
sink and almost disappeared before
1t could be reached. The correspond
ent is clearly inclined to accept the
popular noion of an increase in weight
at death but for the fact that recent
experiments undertaken by some
learned authorities in America have
proved that dead body was lighter
than a living one. From this they
(the learned authorities) deduce that
the soul had definite weight In
pounds avoirdupois.
1T is possible with the experiments
to which the correspondent of the
Pioneer Mail refers. They we're made
and recorded few years ago by DR.
Duncan Macdougall of Haverhill,
Mass. Patients were weighed in the
act of dying. The scales used record
ed any increase or decrease beyond
the fifth of an ounce-not a particu-
larly delicate instrument for estimat-
ing the weight of that part of the liv
ing body which is usually regarded as
immaterial and imponderable.
in the first of series of six ex
periments, DIR. Macdougall placed a
man dying from pulmonary tuberculo
sis on the scales. The patient lost
, weight at the rate of one-sixteenth Of
an ounce per minute until the moment
of death, when the beam end drop
ped with an audible stroke, showing
a sudden decrease of three-quarters
of an ounce In weight. What was
, the cause of the sudden decrease? DR..
, Macdougall, after excluding the loss
due to escape of breath and fluid con
|, tents of the body by evaporation or
other natural means, concluded that
the marked and sudden decrease was
NuO W CSSdpC vi thC ooui
, In this particular instance the soul
was evidently a very material one,
, weighing three-quarters Of an ounce.
THE experimenter extended his OBJ
servations to dogs, but the results
gained were negative. At the moment
of death, the dogs body refused to
show any alteration in weight. We are
of the opinion that the correspondent
of the Pioneer Mail in seeking to
explain the disappearance of the shot
crocodile In the quicksand need not
take his learned authorities too Sc
riously. DR.. Macdougalrs observa'
tions are to be explained by peculiar
bias on the part of his scales or on
the part OF his friends, who assisted
him.. At least the scales used by
} other investigators have refused tc
reveal any sudden diminution in the
weight of the body at death.
In the actual acceptation of the term
death occurs when respiration and cir.
, culation have ceased, but In a more
, strict sense the death Of the body Is
gradual, the muscular system, for In
stance, being really alive some hours
after the apparent death of the indi.
vidual."

Musty Records Point Way to Fa-

Shaft Where Millions of Dollars
Worth Of Gold Mined May

Arizpe, Mexico.-The famous San

Of having produced ore to the value
of more than $10,000,0O0 gold during
the latter period Of Spain's control of
Mexico, may again come into prom

than 100 years.
The musty records of this mine
were found few months ago in the
government archives at Madrid,
Spain, by Pablo Resaza, who forward
ed a copy Of them to Miguel Lon
gorio, mining engineer employed by
one Of the companies operating in the
Cananea district, this state. The
existence of this rich mine has been a
matter Of common knowledge to many
mining men in this part Of Mexico, al
most from the very time that its To-
cation was lost. Scores Of attempts
have been made to rediscover the
property, but these expeditions have
all proved fruitless up to this time.
Mr.. Longorio has organized party
Of mining men, all of whom are Amer
leans except himself, to go in search
Of the mine. 1t is said that the copy
Of the record Of the property's pro-
duction also contains complete de-

thought that it will not be difficult to
find 1t. 1t is stated that there are
four men in the exploring party, and
that they have employed guides who
are familiar with the country where
the mine is supposed to be situated.
