County Commissioners Meeting.

Denver.-Delegates to the State AS
sociation Of County Commissioners
transacted the following business:
In committee report on control of
water commissioners. it was urged that
{ state law should make the commits
sioners appointive by the governor and
that they should be paid from the state
instead of from the county treasurers
as at present. This plan, it was con-
tended, would better equalize the un-
equal burden of carrying on the COM
missioners' work. Incidentally, the
counties are to be given greater
authority over the water commission
ers than at present. 1t is proposed
that legislation make it obligatory for
all warrants to be first approved by
the county auditor for payment
President w. S. Whinnery of Hins-
dale county said that the committee
to which was intrusted the task of
drawing up this proposed legislation

AVIATOR, IN CURTISS BIPLANE,
PERFORMS WONDER
Full FEAT.
WAS WITHOUT MISHAP
AFTER LEAVING CRUISER RE.
TURNS TO AVIATION
FIELD.

San Francisco.-Flying a Curtiss
racing biplane, Eugene B. Ely We'd
nesday made successful landing ca
the cruiser Pennsylvania, and an hour
later rose from the deck and flew
back to Selfridge field twelve miles
away. The feat was accomplished
without mishap.
Not a wire or bolt of the delicate
mechanism was injured. and the
seeming ease OF the whole perform
ance lessened the spectacular effect
1t was easy enough" said Ely, as
he stepped from his seat and was
seized by the cheering soldiers OF the
Thirtieth infantry and hoisted OF
their shoulders. Il think the trick
times cut of ten"
Ely's flight was feature OF the
program of the aviation meet which
is in progress here.
Adverse weather had caused post
ponement of the attempt from day to
day, but when Ely reached Selfridge
field and sized up atmospheric con
ditions as favorable. he at once de-
cided to make a try at it. The day
was smoky, but windless, and the air
heavy.
1t was Just 1o:45 O'Clock when he
left the ground His motor worked
perfectly and after few trying-out
circles he headed northeastward and
swept over the San Bruno hills and
disappeared.
In the meantime the wireless had
notified the cruiser. at anchor with the
fleet in the bay, that he would make
the attempt. and final preparations
were made for his reception.
Ely had installed two seven-foot
rontoons under his lower planes TO
float the machine in case he was
forced to descend on the water, and
forward he had built hydroplane tc
keep the aeroplane from diving.
At 1888 the lookout on the Penn
sylvania sighted the flyer through the
haze and the ships siren roared
tlast of welcome. He came on at ter
rifle speed and moment later circled
around the fleet. dipping in salute tc
each ship and came up in the WIND
Tor the stern of the Pennsylvania. He
vas flying low as he neared the ship
and dropped down as lightly as a gull
striking the platform about forty feel
frcm the end. The hooks which had
been arranged in the center pieces OF
the aeroplane did their work perfectly
and the machine was brought to stoI
within twenty-five feet.
When Ely touched the deck he was
going at the rate of about thirty-flve
rifles an hour. but so gradually was
the speed checked by the dragging OF
the sand bags as they were picked up
in succession that he came to stand
still without disarranging any part OF
the machine.

When One Drills With Diamonds.

A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article, says Cas-
sier's Magazine Its value, however,
will undergo fluctuations, dependent
upon the price OF the diamonds. Per
haps $500 is q fair value for a bit
The diamond used is exceedingly hard
harder than those usually used as
jewelry. Their carat price is consid-
cradle, averaging. say, $50 per carat
The diamonds used will weigh from
one to two carats, so that eight
have a value ranging from $3.50 to
5000 on the average. The loss of n
bit means many diamonds gone and
may lead to difficulty with the hole
The diamond is not tough, but brittle
1t will Withstand heavy pressure if
applied evenly and without shock. It
can readily be seen that drilling
through seamy rock may become quite
unfavorable. II there is much quartz
present the abrasion may become eX-
cessive. Under ordinary conditions,
however, the wear on the diamonds,
while considerable, is by no means pro
hibitive.

Queensland Pearl Divers.

The Queensland diver gets into his
dress at daybreak, steps on to the lad
der over the side and fastens the life
line round him. The tender screws on
the face glass, the pumps are started,
and down goes the diver TO look for
shell. If he is on ground where shell
IS plentiful he fills his bag, then allows
his dress to I'LL with air, which brings
him to the surface when he is hauled
to the boat by the life line. He emp
ties his bag on to the deck and goes
down for another bagful. Some of
the divers occasionally work in TWEEN

with which the diver has to contend
is paralysis, and, knowing the danger
he runs, he sometimes demands goo in
advance, and this amount Is some
times lost to the pearler through the
