Please advise me as to this
The Herald believes that few

other story. Even the poor OH ALI

Reno. Nev.-Put in chicken coops is
to be the ultimate fate of the lumber
used in constructing the gallows on
which the first legal execution ever
held in the state of Nevada took place
This occurred in the courthouse yard
in this city. July 81, 1877.
The man hanged was ]. w. Rover,

numbering Isaac n Sharp by striking
him over the head with blunt instru.
ment and then shooting him. The exc,
cution was performed Ivy A. X. Lamb
sheriff. The sheriff cut the rope which
held the trap with Ratchet, and death
was almost instantaneous.
The gallows has been lying in the
woodshed back of the county Jail for
years. Recently the shed was torn
down and the galIows taken to the
county hospital, where the lumber will
be used in making chicken coops.

French Engineer Tells How Il

Paris.-A stir was caused by paper
read before the members of the French
Physical society by Robert Esnanlt
Pelterie. the brilliant young engineer.
on how to get from the earth to the
moon in forty-eight hours
practicable, based on scientific calcula.
tons and not reminiscent Of Jules

motor OF great power. combination
which the astonishing advances of 10
comotion during the past hundred years
brings well into sight.
Since there Is no atmosphere in the
space between our planet and the moon
no system Of propellers would be Of
any use. and the only possible means
Of driving the vehicle forward would
be an adaptation of the rocket princi-
pie. which, he says, works rs well in
vacuum as In mir.
The motor then would work kind
of continuous rocket. and NJ. Pelterie
has made calculations of just how much
power the engine must have to carry
the vehicle along the 100000 odd miles
between the earth and its satellite.
For vehicle weighing one ton the
motor would have to be Of 414.000
horsepower. For added weight the
horsepower must be proportionately in
creased When this combina ton was
realized the journey would be divided
into three parts. The first would be to
drive the vehicle with increasing speed
until the sphere Of the earth's attrac-
ton was pissed. During the second
the vehicle would continue It's journey
BY inertia until 1t reached the point
where the moons attraction began,
while the third would be the simple
matter Of dropping on to the latter's
surface. no motive force being neces-
sary.
The first of these phases. according
to the lecturer. would last "a minutes

usual. but afterward they would cease
to weigh at all and have the sensation

Fuller's report was the basis Of the

The report confirms in the main the
appalling accounts given by Sir Roger

the rubber company was apparently
conducting its business in n more hui

the company and prevented from Sc
curing evidence. The agents of the
company were afraid to tell anything
lest they should incriminate themselves
or their, comrades. and the Indians
were sufficiently terrorized to keep
them from telling anything comparable
to the accounts secured by Sir Roger
Easement
Mr.. Fuller got evidence that one firm
brought 200 men from Barbados to
serve them in the upper waters of the
Amazon. on the Caramna and Middle
Igaraparana rivers. in the Putumayo
