EDWARD AUSTlN'S DESCRIPTION
OE A COYOTE

The coyote of the furt h e r
deserts is a long, slim, slick and
sorry looking skeleton with a
gray wolf skin stretched OVERT,
a tolerably bushy tail that for
ever Says down with a despair
ing expression of forsakeness
and misery and a long h arr
face with. slightly lifted lip and
exposed teeth. He has a general
Sinking expression all over.
The coyote is a living, breathing
allegory of want He is always
hungry, He is always Door, out
of luck and friendless. The
meanest of creatures d e spi s {
him. and even the fleas would
forsake him for a velocipede
He is so spiritless and cowardly
that even while his teeth is pre-
tending a threat the rest of his
face is apologizing. He is 81
homely, so scrawny and ribby
and coarse haired and pitiful.
When he sees you he lifts his liz
and let's out a flash of his teetl
and then turns a little out of the
path he was persuing, depress
his head bit and strikes a long
soft footed trot through t Il,

TO TRY RAISING NAVY BEANS BY DRY
FARMING

Dir. Rick ard of Redland. who
is Il new conner in the county
and was in town the first of the
week, is enthusiastic over the
farming outlook here and will
try his hand at it this year HI
is a man who has been around
considerable and has lived il
California. lie says he has seel.
the white navy beans grow in
California Very profitable under
dry farming with less rainfall
than we have here. He believe,
this crop can be profitably pro
duced here and to show what cal
be done he has double rowet
twenty-five acres Of these beans.
This kind of beans command a
high market price and if they
can be grown successfully they
would be a good crop for fam.
ers who have Il long ways to
hlul their stuff to m a + k e t.
Three thousand pounds Of beans
which could be hauled at one
load, when sold at five cents pei
pound would bring $4,000
whice would be quite a differ
ance from a load of maize.

WINE AIDS CHICKENS

The results were surprising. From
the hens which get no wine M. Jou-
bert had in October four eggs. in No
vember one and in December none,
and in January %.
The fowls which drank their glass
of wine daily responded notably to
the stimulant. In October they pro-
duced % eggs, in November 81, in De-
cember "A and in January 46 so that
the topers showed an excess of pro.
duction over thu teetotalers of 14S
eggs.
M. Joubert, unfortunately, does not
say in his report what sort of wine he
employed in his experiments. II he
used the best champagne, the cost
would exceed the profit; but If the
stimulant was the vim ordinaire of the
country, which can be bought whole
sale for about three half-pence
quart. a new and important field of
consumption for that article will be
opened up, greatly to the relief of the
wine growers, who have complained
in recent years of the decline in the
sale of their produce.
The administration of wine Is said
to have not only increased the out.
put of eggs. but also to have greatly
improved their quality. a fact which
will prove somewhat disconcerting to
the temperance advocates.

lightning flash. The huge wire-wound
steel tube. weighing 76 tons, returned
to it's firing position with equal We
locity under the influence of great
springs, whose work was controlled
by pistons with ports working in oil
cylinders.
Below deck all loose crockery and
pieces of lighter furniture had been
slowed away and they ratified omi-
nously and dozens of plates, cups and
saucers, etc., were smashed by the
force Of the cohcussion, which was
even sufficient to burst open tins of
syrup in the canteen. The hull itself
withstood the shock well, and showed
no signs Of damage.
The thick glass Of dozens of sky
lights and port holes was splintered,
though the skylights were protected
by armored plates fastened down
tightly with butterfly screws. The
most amazing damage of all was that.
under the force of the conclusion.
chiefly from the central barbette, the
bottom of a boat fell clean out.
The decks were practically undam-
aged. The area over which the flashes
passed was specially thickened with
armored steel to resist the tendency
to buckle under the plunging shock
of the discharge of hundreds of
pounds of cordite. and the injury done
was merely superficial.
The force of the conclusion was so
tremendous that the windows Of the
houses at Southsea, over IL miles dis
tant, were heavily shaken in their
frames.

over the wild career that led his
hayward son into these direful straits.
Much was written about Carlyle
Harris mother when that boy was on
trial for killing his young wife, and
old Charles Harris, the father, was
mentioned only incidentally. Back
into the shadows cast by his strong
wife sank the figure of the unsuccess-
raj old man. Nobody paid any atten-
ton TO him. He was alone with his
great sorrow.
When DR.. Crippen was being hunt
ed, tried and put to death for killing
his wife lonely old man in Califor-
MIA followed the reports of the case
with trembling interest. Myron A.
Crippen was too old to be of any help
to the son who had left him long ago.
Though unheralded, the greater trag-
edy was the fathers, not the sons.
When Albert Wolter was convicted of
killing Ruth Wheeler his old father.
veteran of the Franco-Prussian war.
felt the blow as a long-delayed retri-
button for the one great sin of his
life, and so expressed himself. Albert
was the child of woman Carl Albert
Wolter had known in Germany. De.
sorting the mother and baby. the elder
Wolter had come to America and
welded another woman. She had died
and he, stricken by remorse, mad sent
for the mother and child to join him
In America and had legitimatized the
one by wedding the other.
"The Sins Of the Fathers"
And now this child had committed
a murder so fiendish in it's borror that
the old Prussian soldier bowed his
head under the shock and murmured
words about the sins of the fathers
being visited upon their children.
Another case was that Of Gen. Jere-
miah V. Messerole of Brooklyn, whose
son, Darwin ]. Messerole, killed Theo-
dore w. Larbig in a fight. The old
soldier fought bravely to save his son
and the verdict of acquittal. followed
as 1t was by the young mans CONVEX
sion and reception into Plymouth
church, was balm to the fathers
wounded heart
There can scarcely be doubt about
the grizzled Confederate veteran, Col.
T. V. Richeson. believing in his sons
innocence. But the tragedy Of such
an accusation against dearly be-
loved son is less only than that OF his
conviction.
These fathers whose gray hairs are
brought down In sorrow to the grave,
as the patriarch Jacob expressed it,
are tragic figures. They appeal for
sympathy, but their weight of woe Is
too heavy to be alleviated by words

Trial of 13Na-lnch Piece of New Su-
perdreadnoueht Orion Marks New
Stage in Art of War-Most
Powerful Warship Afloat.

Portsmouth.-The trial Of the 1919
inch guns of the new super-dread-
nought Orion marks a new stage in
the art of war. They are the largest
guns ever fired at sea. There was
much interest in the question of how
the ship would stand the shock.
The concussion when the ten big
guns were fired at the same instant
broke many small articles on the ship,
but did no damage to the hull.
The Orion is now the most powerful
warship afloat, but will not remain
long with that distinction. The Unit
ed States is building two ships of en-
tirely similar construction, which are
to carry 14-inch guns instead of 1874
The test firing Of the Orion took
place off Overs lightship. All the
ten big guns are, for the first time
in a dreadnought, placed on the CEN
ter line, to secure a full broadside
fire, and even the inner guns have an
angle Of fire of 10 degrees First
with half-charges and then with full
charges of common and armor pierre
