From Washington.

from washington.
Washington, D. c. - Determined
that no American lives shall be sacri-
feed as a result of fighting on the
Mexican border, the United States
troops along the Rio Grande were re-
inforced and orders were given that
firing into American territory must be
stopped, even though it be necessary
to cross the boundary line TO force
compliance.
The order, the most sweeping that
has gone out from the White House in
the present situation, was issued after
a conference between President Taft,
Secretary of War Stimson. and Acting
Secretary of State Huntington Wilson.
In addition to sending another regi-
ment of infantry and three batteries
of field artillery TO the Mexican line.
orders were issued to division COM
manders throughout the country to
hold their companies in readiness to
move at a moments notice. The
acute situation in Mexico has had the
effect of putting the army establish
ment in high state of preparation,
and mobilization on the Rio Grande
could be effected quickly if occasion
should arise.

STONE THAT BURNS ITSELF
East Of the Jordan Lime is Made
From Rock That Contains Its
Own Fuel.

While making a trip through the
Hauran district recently the writer's
attention was attracted to a curious
stone which might be described as
"self-burning limestone" Our party
came upon some natives burning it
and was enabled to see the operation.
This district IS south of Damascus.
east Of the upper Jordan. At this place
the rock lay in a stratum between or
binary limestone: 1t was of grayish
black color. and when freshly broken
had an odor of petroleum. Near by
were outcrops OF what looked like the
same material many rods long and 20
to 80 feet thick.
Quarrying is easily done with print
tive picks and other tools. as the rock
Is quite soft and full of seams The
stone is broken into small pieces with
hammers and piled up against the
bank OF rock.
A wall OF the same material about
two feet high is roughly laid up around
the pile on three sides. making pile
Of small stone eight to ten feet long
and nearly as wide. and two feet at
the front, rising to nearly three times
that height at the back. where It lies
against the bank.
In building the wall around the pile
small holes are left for draft and in
which to start the fire. When the kiln
Is ready to burn few small punches
Of straw are placed in the holes men
toned, lit with a flint and steel and
in a short time the whole pile has ig-
nited. The men then begin working
On a new kiln while the other burns
and cools.
After about two hours of burning the
stone has all become converted into
lime. except the stones in the wall and
the very top layer. which are only
about half burned. When cool the lime
Is air-slacked and sifted to remove any
pieces not thoroughly burned. which
are thrown into a new pile to be fired
again.
The workmen told us that it made
very black smoke with a bad odor like
kerosene burning. The lime Is white
and said to make very strong pias

Five Aviators Fall.

cisco aviator, lies probably dying in a
hospital and half dozen of his fellow

Bird Muster. BAIL

Lying on the soft grase before his
tent, camper slipped a tin cup OF
coffee and listened to the birds.
You'd think from all this pure mel
ody," he said, that birds were musi-
cal-that, like the New York critics,
they loved the best and only the best.
But, as a matter Of fact, they have
degraded taste. The thrush and the
lark are as wrong in their musical
ideas as Puccini and Leoncavalla are
said to be.
II have tested the thrush / have
set him to learning the notes Of the
nightingale. But he doesn't care for
the nightingale's divine music He
will have none of it. The sparrow's
ugly twitter, on the other hand, he
masters with delight.
THE finch and the mockingbird are
the same. They won't learn fine mu-
sic, the music of Beethoven or Chopin
or Wagner. but they take to rag-time
and jigs like pig to hog-wash.
"Hark to that burst OF melody from
the pine copsel You'd think the sing
ers inspired. But if thrush or lark
or moclIingbird went to New York,
the critics would say their music was

vasquistas Approach Juarez
and Residents Flee.

Fl Paso-Four troops of United
States cavalry patrol the Rio Grande
with orders to cross into Ciudad Juar-
ez, if necessary, to protect American
life and property.
With the 22d Infantry and three
companies of artillery entrained at
San Antonio for this city. and at least
/ 900 Vasquistas at Bauche, IA miles
south of Juarez, the situation general
ly is considered the most critical since
the recent outbreak in Chihuahua.
The troops at Bauche are command
ed by Colonel Inez Salszar. who, it is
understood, will soon demand the for
NAL surrender of Juarez. 1t is hardly
believed any show of resistance will
be made, as Juarez is garrisoned only
by about 100 men,
That General Pasqual Orozco will
remain loyal to Madero is the state
ment contained in a message from
Governor Gonzales to Mexican Consul
Enrique G. Lorente in FL Paso. Lo-
rente also declared he had received
sdvices that Antonio Rojas and Bar
ulio Hernandez, rebel leaders, had
been captured, but further confrma-
ton was unobtainable.
Anticipating unexpected develop
ments, Juarez residents moved their
portable effects to the American side.
United States and Mexican secret

Officers are searching for GonzalC
