lies About WINNENUCCA

Somebody lied in that story
published in the Reno Journal
Saturday morning about the
weather conditions in Winnemucca.
The story, an alleged special
telegram, stated that the mercury
stood Sd degrees below zero here
Friday morning. AS matter of
fact the lowest for the winter has
been eleven degrees below about
the same AS in Reno on correspond
ing dates. The journal has done
considerable Dragging of late
about the excellence of its special
news service. If that dispatch
from Winnenfucca in relation to
weather conditions is a fair
sample, the journal special service
could not ne more unreliable.
There is not a single statement of
fact in the entire dispatch.-HGm-
boldt Star.
The Journals Winnemucca
special has all the earmarks of
being written by the same person
that penned the Elko specials
about the pursuit and capture of
Fred Hess. If Jim Haley were
on the Journal, it would be easy to
guess the writer of the Journals
Winnemucca and .Elko specials.

REN0'S DIVORCE RECORD

The year 1911 showed q great
gain in divorces over the figures
for 1910, according to the investi-
cations of Professor Romance
Adams. who has been collecting
data for the university department
of sociology. Seventy more
divorces were granted last year
than in the year previous. The
total for = 1910 was 357 while
1915 total was 427. In 1910
there was approximately 80
divorces month while in 1911 the
figures was nearer to SO a month.
1t is probable that 1911 will re-
main in history as the banner
year for divorce in Reno. A new
law making the term of residence
one year instead of six months is
promised. This would make the
influx of divorce seekers slow
down perceptibly by the end Of
June in this year. .s..

Foreign POSTAL RATES

Because of a widespread mis-
understanding of the postal rates
on letters addressed to foreign
lands the. postal authorities have
issued a bulletin to Postmasters
with the request that the attention
of the public be called to the
rates prevailing.
1t is pointed out that the only
countries to which 2 cent or
domestic rate is in force are
Canada, q, Cuba, Mexico, New
foundlsnd, the Canal Zone, Re-
public Of Panama. Germany, by
direct steamers only. England,
Scotland. Wales, Ireland and the
city Of Shanghai. China.
To all other foreign countries
the rate is 5 cents for the first
ounce or fraction thereof and 8
cents for each additional ounce.
If sufficient stamps are not
placed on mail consigned to these
points, double the regular raes will
be collected at the destination of
the letter.

SOAP ENABLED HIM
TO ESCAPE

With a liberal application of
soap on his naked body and five
hours work by four companions,
E. B. Keepers, 20O-pound
prisoner in the Bexar county Jail,
Texas, was hauled to freedom
through hole less than fourteen
inches in diameter.
Keepers was lathered until lie
was foam from head to foot, and
head first he was started through
the opening. Part way he stuck,
and for nearly five hours his mates
worked to get him through. He
was finally landed out side, more
dead than alive, and was carried
away by his companions. But the
experience was too much for the
big fellow and he was captured
within twenty-four hours.

MAKING SHOT

The tower process Of making
shot was invented by William
Watts, plumber of Bristol, Eng
land, in 1869. His tower was
built" by saving a square hole
in the center of the various floors
OF his house and locating a well
in the cellar,> into which the
globules of molten lead dropped
and were instantly CO led and
hardened. Watts secured patent
in 1882 and sold his London rights
in 1900 for $48. 665.
His tower is still in use,
although it has been heightened
by the addition of several stories.
The lead when molten is poured
into sieve-like receptacle at the
top Of the tower, and these molten
drops, falling into the well, 100
feet below, form the shot, which
are then passed through POLISH
ing grader. They are then spilled
from a hopper on to an inclined
piane, Tire perfect shot running on
2 second plane while the imperfect
drop through an opening between.
The shot pass oven four series
Of planes, and only the perfect
reach the last plane.
A larger size than BIB cannot
be made by this process. The
larger sizes, including shrapnel,
are made by two different pro-
cesses. In the medium Size a wire
of the proper material is fed into
machine which mashes it into a
ribbon shape and punches irregular
formed shot. The largest are
maue by pouring the metal into
long bullet molds, which, in cool
ing, form irregular shot. The
various sizes are then placed, each
by itself, in gins, which are
revovled for six hours, when the
shot come out perfectly smooth
