MYSTERIOUS BUST is FOUND
At First Thought to Be One of
Columbus, but Ii Had
Whiskers-

The capitol continues it's output OF
art mysterious. This time it is re-
ported that a marble bust Of an I'M
known man, has been found among
rubbish in the cellar. At first glance
1t was thought to be bust Of Colum-
bus, but it was found to have side
whiskers, ornaments believed not to
have been used by Columbus or by
others in his time. Then it was later
settled on that it was the bust of
some early explorer. This is as far
as the mystery solvers had got when
the writer passed that way.
Another art. mystery Of the capitol
stands in the east corridor of the SEN

Lincoln, Charles Sumner, Garibadli

RAIN-MAklNG FACILITIES

Warm air is like a sponge. 1t will
suck up lot of moisture and carry it
without spilling any. But if = warm
air, well loaded with moisture, is
suddenly cooled, the sponge is squeez-
ed and the moisture falls out as rain.
Twenty years ago some hopeful
gentlemen went to the arid regions
of Texas and exploded a lot of dyna-
mite on the theory that the concus-
sion would mix the strata of warm
air near the earth with the cooler
strata above, and so cause the neces-
sary precipitation of moisture. There
happened to be light showers about
the time of the experiments, which
encouraged the experimenters, but did
not convince anybody else.
The fact is that Natures rain.
making machine is too gigantic to be
affected by the puny efforts of hui
mans-at least by any efforts so far
| discovered.
Nature pumps the moisture-laden
air up into the cold regions Of the
upper atmosphere with a wheel a
thousand miles in diameter. When
this tremendous wheel of air is re
yolving normally it lifts millions Of
tons of water vapor to an elevation
where it can no longer be carried in
solution and so falls as rain.
When the wheel is off adjustment
it is as futile to lombard the sky
with dynamite as it would be to fire
popgun corks at the side of the lates

CALIFORNIA GOLD DEPOSITS
Mining in WeaverviIle Quadrangle q
Source of Great Wealth.

Few mining regions in California
have attracted so much general at
tention and held it for SO long a time
as the klamath Mountains of Siski-
you and Trinity counties, in the
northwestern part of the State. The
placers along Trinity and klamath
rivers were developed early in the
gold rush and have been worked with
varying energy to the present time.
The La Grange mine, which is noe
OF the largest hydraulic placers in the
world, is now in the height of it's &C
tivity.
An account of an investigation of
the auriferous gravels in the Weaver
vile quadrangle, which embraces
portions of Shasta and Trinity coun-
ties, by j. s. Diller, is contained in
Bulletin 540-A, recently issued by the
United States Geological Survey.
The outlook for future placer min.
ing in this REGION. is encouraging
The success of the La Grange mine
consists in the economical treatment
on a large scale of relatively low
grade gravel. The success of the
dredging at Trinity Center and of the
| placers north of Lewiston gives con
hdence to those who are attempting
larger developments at the mouth
! OF Eastman Gulch and at the bend

The ocean at Venice, Cal, is alive
with porpoises and whales. Whales
and porpoises do not affiliate and a
school of porpoises can drive a whale
frantic. The porpoises recently
singled out a bull mammal and made
life so unpleasant for him that in
his efforts to escape them he ran upon
a sandbar about a quarter of a mile
from shore. For fully two hours
the whale floundered around on the
bar, churning the water into foam as
he dashed it with his tail and flukes.
Finally he was floated off by the in
coming tide, which gave him an OPP
portunity to join the other whales
sporting nearby.

ADMINISTRATION OF
LAW is DEFICIENT
Former President Tail Dis
CuSSeS Our Courts.

New Haven, Conn, April 22.--In a
speech before the Cohey Court club
of the Yale law school, Professor Will
lam H. Taft characterized the courts
as deficient in the administration of
the law. He said in part:
To-day there are not the same laws,
or rather application OF laws, for the
poor man as there is for the rich. This
does not arise from the fact that our
judiciary is partial; il is by reason of
the extreme delays which one meets In
litigation.
when the man who has a little $40
law suit endeavOrs TO carry this to q
higher court for an appeal he is liable
to find that it is not as easy as might
appear. This is not true OF the large
corporations, however.
THE courts in this country are not
controlled by the judges. but by the
lawyers who bring cases before them.
The manner that we have Of prosecut-
ing criminal laws is a disgrace. The
number OF real criminals that get
away even without being brought 10
trial is som athing OF which We can
truly be ashamed"
