MENELIK'S Wife
AGAIN AT LIBERTY.
Remarkable Rise Of AbyssIn-
ian Empress, TaitOu.

Adds Abeba. Abyssinia.-After three
years of detention in Ghebbi Empress
Taitou. the wife of King Menelik. has
been granted her freedom The right
full heir to the throne has also been
granted his freedom.
The empress domain will be in the
vicinity of Adds Abeba.
Empress Taitou of ADySsinia was a
very interesting character, according
to what information has been learned
about her. Details of affairs in the
African empire have been difficult to
obtain and even today Europe is not
quite sure whether Emperor Menelill
is dead or alive and still ruling his
country. 1t is known definitely that
the heir to the throne has been desiG
mated in the person of Liz iassu. the
grandson of Empress Taitou, but
whether he has taken up the reins of
government is yet to he ascertained.
Empress Taiton. according to a
Frenchman who jonrneyed through
Abyssinia some years ago. was a wom-
an Of the lower class. as they place
rank In Abyssinia. and she was mar
ried at an early age. Following that
she was married many more times,
and Mt each stage Of her matrimonial
career rose higher.
In 1885,. when the coming empress
was about thirty-two years old. she
married Menelik. then q king. She was
4 wonderful woman. and her ability
was recognized. Besides. she was
counted as II beauty.
Later Menelik rose to the supreme
step of emperor. and Taitou rose with
him.
Menelk fell i'll at one time-in fact
one of the many times that he has been
ill-and while Taitou cared for him
like dutiful wife she carried on at the
same time conspiracy. the aim Of
which was to place her on the throne
upon the death Of her husband. But
many circumstances operated against
the empress. and she was driven from
the Abyssinian capital. Adds Abeba.
Menelik recovered, and Taitou's grand
son. Liz Yassu, whom she heartily
hated. was proclaimed heir.

PEcULIARITIEs OF WATER.
its Expansion, Contraction and Sle~
Change Of Temperature.


Water is such common sub
stance that We usually think but lit
tie about it. In pure state j, con
sist> Of two gases, oxygen and by
dFo.en. chemically combined. The
volume Of the hydrogen is twice
that Of the oxygen, but the oxygen
even then is eight times as heavy
rs the hydrogen. Practically we
never obtain pure water. AS it falls
from the clouds it washes the i'm
purities from the, air. and as it
sinks into the earth it dissolves
many substances. Even distilled wa
ter is rarely pure and cannot be
kept any length of time.
II is a common observation that
water will freeze into ice and that
the ice will float on the surface of
the water with about one-tcnth Of
its volume above the surface. This
is caused by the expansion Of the
water, which begins "A few degrees
above the freezing point and in
creascs rapidly as the water solidi-
i;cs. II water behaved as most sub
stances which contract and hence
occupy less space when they arc in
solid coalition than they occupy
as a liquid. our ponds. rivers and
lakes would soon disappear. The
first layer of ice that formed would
break away from the shore by its
own weight and sink to the bottom.
This layer would be followed by
Others as the water frozc until the
entire body Of water became IA body
of ice.
Since our heat comes from the
sun and water does not readily con-
duct heat downward it is easy to
imagine what the result would be.
During the hot summer days layer
of ice might melt, but the ice be-
meath would not be warmed and
would keep the temperature of the
melted ice so low that a slight
change Of temperature would cause
it to freeze again, thus giving us
solid bodies of water that would
never thaw. Drainage, navigation,
swimming, fishing and all other wa
ter sports would be absolutely i'm
possible.
Another popularity about water
is that it requires more heat TO raise
the temperature Of given weight
of water one degree than it does for
any other known substance. The
same amount of heat applied to
equal weights of water and copper
will raise the temperature Of the
copper about eleven times as much
as it will in the case of the water.
While this means that it takes more
heat to warm the water we use, it is
otherwise to our advantage.
If water changed its temperature
as readily as copper, iron or mercury
it would be impossible to go out of
doors after rain if the sun were
shining, since we would be sufro-
Gated by the steam. Fires could not
I be cytinguishcd by water, since the
water would in MANY cases be turn
cd into steam before it could reach
the fire and thus escape. Under
present conditions it would require
Il large amount of heat to raise the
temperature of water from the
freezing point to the boiling point
and nearly 81 times as much more
to change the water into steam. In
this way the water is kept in liquid
condition for considerable time

Senator Haight
Introduces Bill.
LOCAL OPTION LAW TO BE
STRENGTHENED,

Sen. H. c. Haight of this coun-
ty has introduced in the Senate a
bill which is Intended to cover all
the known defects of the local
OptionLaw.
1 he bill provides that appli-
cants for liquor shall receive a
prescription from a physician; that
pharmacists shall keep an open
book containing the amount OF
liquor sold to each person, with
the date, and shall be open to
the inspection of the public,
Pharmacists shall be permitted
to carry only SO much liquor at
any one time and shall file bond
OF $500 with the county auditor,
which i'll the event of being fined
for breaking the law shall be for
feited as well as placing him sub
ject to the penalty the court may
impose. 1t also prescribes the
amount of liquor an individual
may bring into his home, the
amounts that may be secured ior
mechanical or manufacturing
purposes, and many other siren
gt hening features of the present
law. 1t also prescribes rules un-
der which transportation COM
panies may operate where this
law is in force. 1t will require
companies in transportation to
keep separate record of receipt
ing for liquors and the individual
will be requires to receipt in per-
son,for liquor sent him.
The bill is very lengthy but is
intended to remedy the weakness
of the present law.
Senator Haight has received a
very favorable report from the
committee and it is very likely to
become law if signed by the Gov
ernOr.
