A PIONEER CROSSES
THE DIVIDE

r. v. Borden, a prominent Odd
Fellow Of Reno died yesterday
morning at the age of 83 years.
Bro. Borden has been q familiar
figure in the grand lodge of Odd
Fellows Of this state for many
years. He was genial, lovable
man, and a true worshipper al
the shrine Of Odd Fellowship. His
genial presence and wise counsel
will be missed by his brethren.
One by one the pioneers Of Me-
vada answer the last roll call.
Their ranks grow thinner every
year. BY and by, the last one Of
that sturdy band that laid the
foundations Of this state will, pass
to the other side. Bro. Borden
was a pioneer In Odd Fellowship
as we'll as one Of he early settlers
Of the state. As a citizen and as
an Odd Fellow he measured up to
the true standard of a man.
May his long and useful life gain
for him an easy entrance into the
life eternal.

A CENT

A cent is little thing, but in
the aggregate II is mighty. We
speak of the copper cent" but 1t
is not entirely copper. Its com.
position is 95 per cent copper, 3
per cent tin and 2 per cent zinc.
That alloy is in reality bronze. and
the official name Of the cent is
"bronze. There uied to be a
copper cent, but an act discon-
tinuing its coinage was passed in
1857. For seven years (1857-64)
we had a nickle cent and up to
1867 a copper half cent.

NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH

What came near resulting in a
tragedy in this city occurred last
Sunday morning when the body of
a woman was found in the fields
near the school house in an almost
frozen condition and was only re-
suscitated after the most strenuous
exertions on the part of her
rescuers.
She had evidently been wander
ing around and had in some way
or other fallen into the ditch
near That point. She managed to
escape from the ditch but the
water had chilled her and the night
was so cold that she was overcome
by exhaustion and the cnd very
nea ~ resulted in death.
1t was about half past five when
her plight was discovered and men
hurried 70 her assistance. AS soon
as they discovered her condition
they summoned a physieisn and
got rig and took the woman home.
At Il is time it is not thought thar
there will be any i'll results from
her accident.-Sparks Tribune.

TRUTHFUL JAMES AGAIN

Which I'm free to assert
In a casual way,
That the new trousers skirt,
II IT., coming to stay,
Will be q great boon to the ladies';
Which the same there is none
can Gainsay
Though q lady may snatch
Other laurels a few.
Still she can't scratch a match
In the way that men do:
But with trousers twill be a heap
diffrent,
Which the same is decided my
view.
And It's gospel truth, gents,
AS ] frequent observe,
That she can't climb . fence
Without showing her curves:
But the trousers skirt cuts out
that scenery
Which the same's q relief to our
nerves. Springfield Union.

FREAK SHADOWS

In the Guide oil producing
regions IN California there are
scores of large ponds of this
material. After being pumped to
the surface the petroleum is
emptied into depressions in the
earth, where 1t remains for time.
Later the crude oil is placed in
barrels, in large metal cans or else
In big reservoirs. These oil ponds
are known as "sump holes
There is one peculiar thing
about these "sump holes" and
that is in the way of producing
what are known as freak
shadows" These are real
shadows. but notwithstanding this
fact they are decidedly freak. "
II the sun is brightly shining and a
person stands for few moments
on the margin of the "sump hole"
so that his shadow falls on the
surface of the petroleum and he
then quickly changes his position
the dim shadow remains just
where 1t was originally cast. In
other words, the shadow does not
follow the substance"
This may seem like q paradox
but it is true. The instant a
person shifts his position his
shadow Is again cast In a new
place. yet the former shadow re-
mains unchanged. The longer q
person stands in one particular
spot the longer will the former
shadow be visible.
Hundreds Of experiments have
been made along these lines, and
every time the same results have
heen produced. The simple ex-
PLANTATION for this phenomen is that
under the hot sun gas is being con-
stantly generated down in the body
Of the petroleum, and II rises to
the surface in the form of little
minute bubbles. So very small
are these bubbles that they are
scarcely visible to the naked eye.
Millions of thetc wee bubbles are
rising to the top all tie time.
when the bubbles break the the gas
is liberated, passing into the air.
Both the gas and bubbles are SO
