RAMBLING REMARKS
By Geo. o. Blake

it isn't pleasant to find things
to criticise in the management of
public affairs, but where criticism
is necessary it should be made.
This town has had several years
experince with leaky reservoir.
A new one has been built and
should be free from the defects of
the old one. A few days ago /
went out to see the new reservoir
which has cost $4,000 and then
some. A trench had been dug
through the embankment near the
north west corner exposing the
wall from the top to near, If not
quite, the bottom. Several feet
above the bottom | saw several
streams OF water coming through
the side wall of the reservoir
Whether there are other similar
holes in the wall it was impossible
to determine, but these were
enoush h to show the fact that the
walls had not been plastered in
side and the concrete of which
the walls are constructed was not
tamped in hard enough to close
the spaces between the pebbles
OF the gravel. Any experienced
cement worker knows that wall
SO constructed is not water tight.
A superintendent was employed
on liberal pay to see that the ce-
ment work was properly done.
The reservoir can not be de-
pended upon to hold water until
the walls are properly plastered
with cement on the inside. The
holes | saw are not the result Of
cracks from settling, but caused
by de ectivc construction, defects
which it was the duty of the man
paid to supervise, to see were
avoided. What else was he aid
for?
For nearly month our STR cts
have been in fine condition for
grading. The dirt could be easily
moved by the grader from the
sides to the center of the streets
and it would there be packed
down hard by travel over it. AT
ter the ground has dried out it is
much harder to move with a
grader and when put into the mid
die of the street will work up into

fine dust which will not become
solid earth all summer.
Since new town engineer has
been chosen, it is to be hoped he
will be able to find a few lots
which are not below grade and
that sidewalks can be built down
to the level of the surface. The
evil OF the manner of construction
pursued so tar must be apparent
to anybody. The foundation of
sand and gravel is already coming
from under the walks. Ii can not
be replaced. Most OF the lots are
left so tar below the walk that IT
will require the expenditure of the
value OF the lots to fill them up
to grade. And then the streets
must also be raised 10 grade.
notice that down at Kansas
City the Methodist ministerial as
soclation has severely censured
Rev. Luther Freeman for certain
of his utterances. They repudi-
ate and disavow his sentiments as
grave reflection on the Method
ist ministry" What he said was
that the Bible is not all inspired
because It contains scientific and
historical errors. Well, / don't
know that the association can be
blamed. If its members believe
it their duty to defen the inspira-
ton of scientific and historical er-
rors they have a right to censure
one of their number who proves
recreant to that duty. II Rev.
Freeman finds himself unable to
reconcile discrepancies between
the inspired word and ascertained
facts, he can find plenty of com
pany outside that association.

Chicago has a dog which talks,
and he talks German at that, at
least that is what press dispatch
says. and we have no idea that a
press agent would lie about a
little thing like tnat. AS the story
goes the dog has been the sub
ject of scientific examination and
it is found that he not only talks.
but talks intelligently. 1t may be
an oversight. but it is not stated
whether the scientists understand
German. This dog on meeting
a German woman carrying bas
ket said to her Don hunger,

name. We haven't learned the
names of the scientists.

Hon. /. N. Stevens has sold his
Pueblo Chieftain to the regular
Republican machine and has gone
en- the lecture platform with a
view, no doubt, to his chances in
the senatorial race in 1912. Mr..
Stevens while editor of the Chief
tain was always an advanced in
surgent except when a campaign
was on when he fell into line reg
nlarly. The chance for him to
capture the senatorial toga does
not seem very brilliant at present.

Gov. Shafroth showed that he is
on the right side when he vetoed
the race track gambling bill. The
bill provided for the appointment
of a commission to have charge
of race tracks. In addition to ve-
toing the bill, the governor warned
the legislature that if the bill
should be passed over his veto he
would not appoint the commission
until compelled to do SO by the
highest court.

"A government report tells OF
an instance where back to the
farm" worked all right. A broken
down lawyer, the father of ten
children, was told by his doctor
that If he stayed in the city he had
but year to live How was he and
his family TO live in the country,
they who had always lived in the
cito? 1t was sad case but the
lawyer took the plunge and made
a glittering success. That ought
to encourage the fellow who is 60
ing along from hand to mouth"
in the city. Let him go to the
country. 1t may be worth while
to say that this lawyer before he
left the city figured up his assets
and found he had but a paltry
$4,000 to his credit and with this
bagatelle began life anew in the
country. He didn't die either.

From the Grand Junction News
it is learned that the orchardists
down there burned 200 cars of
coal in smudging during the re-
cent cold spell. Nothing is said
about the amount of oil used or
the cost of labor. This seems a
heavy toll, especially as the peach

1t always does us good to get a
story with a moral. We like to
fire off the moral. Now there
comes a story of boy who had
fallen into the pernicious habit of
SIN oking cigarets and OF course
had his gun pocket full Of
matches. He transgressed some
household law and his mother re-
sorted to the maternal slipper
with the result that the matches
were lgnited setting fire to the
rear elevation of the boys panta-
looms and scorching his anatomy.
The moral is obvious.

THE BUSY CATALYzER.

\ Catalyzcr in rcpose never would be
noticed. As soon as one has been traced
TO its lair and taught to eat out Of man
ufacturer's hand. its days OF repose are
over. Scientists capture them and turn
them over to the men who make the wheels
of the industrial world go round. From
then on IL is the treadmill day and night
for each poor little catslyzer.
When they arc completely housebroken.
though they produce marvellously crafty
ing results for all mankind Professor Hal
lock defines a catalyzer as a substance
that is the same after the chemical opera
tion has been performed that is was be-
fore. and yet without which the operation
would not take place. To layman en-
thusiastic 10 detect the desired catalyzer
there is nothing very suggestive, perhaps
in this description. But a rigid definition
of catalytic action in simple terms is con-
sidered difficult, perhaps impossible, by
those who know. Unframed detectives evil
IDENTIFY need waste no time searching for
this desired addition to the catayzer fam
lily. Scientists prefer to change the subject
when asked TO describe the exact manner
in which even the old catalyzers work.
They describe the phenomena, rather than
define it.
DR.. Ramsay says that the progress Of the
human race has hitherto depended upon the
ability OF its individual members TO dis
cover the means of concentrating energy
and Of changing it from one form into an
other. He has calculated that the earth
may be heated by the salts of radum,
which are dispersed throughout its integu-
ment. II the catalyzer referred to should
be found it would enable man to expedite
the production of radium emanations or

comfort Of your family? The scientists are
cvasive They say that will depend on the
character OF the captains of industry, on
the tariff and on the kind of catalyzer that
may be discovered. 1t may be a catalyzer

an ounce a year is all that is at present

action you would get for your expenditure.
If all the energy in a single gram of ra-
dium were to leave 1t It would produce
enough heat TO raise the temperature Of one
of the Swiss lakes several degrees. Enough
radum to cover the tip OF a woman's fin
ger would produce sufficient energy to raise
the British and French fleets to the top of
Ben Nevis, according TO Sir William
Crookes.
During experiments with emanations ra-
dum gave a great deal Of energy, generally
manifested as light, but as matter OF
fact radlum kept itself hot. There was a
great deal of heat generated 1t could be
calculated, and It was found that 1t gave of

Shall We Do When Coal Gone Caer May Solve the frooen

The right kind Of catalyzer would, there
fore, be about the most valuable thing in
captivity when you consider the tremcn-
dous power manifested in the dsntegra-
ton Of radium, the newly discovered chem
ical element. with its novel faculty OF
changing into another element DR. Ram
say declares that a ton of IT would propel
for thirty years ship Of 1000 tons Win
engines of 1900 horsepower at the rate Oh
fifteen knots--a task that would require
million and n half tons of coal. In other
words. the potential energy Of radum Is
a million and a half times that OF coal 10
obtain n ton. Sir William estimates, would
require $1,000 years.
1t makes the human mind stand aghast
at the possibilities that might ensure upon
the discovery OF even very inefficient as
YOU might say knock-kne and feeble
minded, catalyzer. 1t must. the scientists
say, he a catalyzer of the right family, but
IT need not be champion, even in its
chosen field. TO make a noise that will
sound through the ages.
Professor Hallock. who is also secretary
Of tie Radium Institute, in this city, points
out that the first product OF the disin-
tegration Of radium is gas called radlum
emanation. ard that this material in its
disntegration liborates an amount of en-
crgv five million times as great as that Id
Grated by an equal weight Of hydrogen and
oxygen. A pound Of this emanation at this
rate is calculated 20 be able to produce
10000 horsepower.
Tho startling possibilities that such
source Of energy would render conceva-
BILE are what cause the brainstorm when
trying TO draw mental pictures of the
world, in charge Of a catalyzer in tinkling
harness, prancing gayly along the nigh
ways Of the future. Professor Hallock eX-
planned that Il would take no more emana-
tion 10 keep the five million people OF

cola Of winter than now 1t does Of coal 70

for the population Of this town. Apprehend
the catalyzer mentioned by Dr. Ramsay,
so that man may he enabled to expedite
the production Of this cmanaton from ra-
dium. uranium or any of the allied Gle
ments, and Professor Hallock says one
thousand pounds Of emanatOns would he
ample to keen FIVE million people warm Tor

Hunger might become a relic OF the past.
a catalyzer that will give a loaf of bread
TO each unfortunate human being would
be more than popular. Experts say il is
easily conceivable that the catalyzer mem
toned by Sir William would enable the
farmer TO produce 20 per cent more crops
on rocky. wornout farm lands than can
now be done on the best Of soil. How this
might be made possible is told below. 1t
is awaited by others as the solution TO
the problem of the high cost of living.
Leather might be made out of paper,
thus enabling millions of animals to retain
their skins for other purposes. We might,

all the wealth Of dead material and all inc

The importance of discovering Sir Will-
iam's catalyzer can also be clearly under
stood when the scientists toll US that in
uranium and thorium, elements the COM
pounds OF which are manufactured com

there is imprisoned energy many hundred

FERTILIZERS contain combined nitrogen
said Professor Frederick Soddy. OF the
University Of Glasgow, recently. "and act
by supplying to the plant in combined
form the nitrogen which Is unable to get
from the air directly 10 any important
extent. Why? Because the plant requires
energy as we'll as nitrogen, and before
nitrogen will enter into combination energy
must be absorbed by it.
The chemist gets the energy perhaps
from a waterfall, converts It usually into
electrical energy, and, with this energy at
his disposal and control, In one way or
another he converts the elementary nitro
gen into compounds possessing a store ~
energy which are capable Of being as
simulated by the plant True. he is only
as yet making the work Of the plant easy
and causing it to bring forth more abun-
dainty than it would provided it had TO
fend for It's energy entirely for itself
But for all that the energy that before ran
