Denver.-Anyone who desires TO
mine coal from state land now unpro-
ductive under leases given to present
operating companies will be given
possession of the land by the State
Land Board, according to a statement
issued by volney t. Hoggatt, register
OF the board.
In order to correct an idea held by
many, persons that companies now in
operation have an unbreakable hold
upon coal lands of the state. the regis
ter has prepared the statement. con-
tanning statistics of state coal lands,
from the records of the boards Of
flee.
1t shows that there are 473,732
acres of coal land in Colorado con-
trolled by the state. OF the amount
only 1S,S67.11 acres are leased. OF
the leased acreage 1S.72166 are non
productive. The companies holding
the unproductive acreage are paying
annual rentals upon it to the state.
If any person or corporation desires
to get the land will begin productive
operations Immediately, the board will
cancel the leases granted to the pres
ent operators and give leases to new
parties, according to the register.
THE attention of the public is
called to the fact" Hoggatts state
ment reads, that there are a few
sections of this non-producing coal
land which are accessible to the rail
roads and could, with proper develop
ment. and necessary equipment expen
diture. be developed into producing
coal leases"
Most of the unproductive leased
land is classed as non-accessible or
isolated from the railroads. 1t would
require large expenditure of money
for the building of railroad spurs in
addition to the amount required for
the mine equipment before the land
could be made productive.
Colorado has enough coal reserves
to supply the entire middle West from
the Missouri river to Utah points for
many years to come, the register says,
but very small production is being
made towards that supply for reasons
seemingly unanswerable.
The increase in the states coal pro-
duction in 1912 over 1911 was S19,353
tons. The production for 1912 was H.
0lG,94S tons.

1857 and 2,4s9, respectively. against

MANDATE SEEN IN DEMAND.
Mexican Dictator's Friends Say He
Must Quit Office or Invite War.

Mexico City, Nov. s. The under.
current of conversation at the national
palace carried rumors regarding Pres.
ident Huerta's attitude in the face OF
Washington's demands that he retire
but the President himself preserved
silence.
Huerta's intimates are familiar With
the terms of the communication
which they regard as practically man
datory. The memorandum from the
administration at Washington states
that unless General Huerta retires i'm
mediately, and thereafter has nothing
to do with the conduct of affairs OF
the formation of a new government,
the President of the United States will
issue an ultimatum, which, If rejected
will cause him to call upon Congress
to authorize him to use sterner
methods.
The language used caused Huerta's
friends to regard the American com.
munication in itself as conclusive,
since General Huerta is given nc
choice regarding further participation
in Mexico's official affairs.

Martial Law Abrosates Insurance.

Denver.-By the maintenance OF
martial law in Las Animas and Huer-
fano counties, all fire insurance in
those counties is automatically abro-
gated during the continuance of mar
tial law. according to a statement at
the state insurance department. Local
agents of fire insurance companies
raised the point when owners of the
Southwestern mine at Aguilar sent in

and other buildings and the proprie-
tor of the store and postoffice burned

State Water Titles Case In Court.

Denver.-Title to waters in, the Re-
publican river by Colorado is attacked
in suit before Judge Robert T. Lew
is of the United States District Court.
The suit was brought by the Pioneer
Irrigation Company. which owns 2,OOc
acres of land on the Republican riv-
er in Colorado. and 5000 acres in Ne.
braska under the same stream. 1t is
contended by the company's attorney,
Edwin II. Parks. that inasmuch as
Colorado streams have their sources
In the mountainous forest reserves
owned by the government, the state
does not own the water and must di-
vide with others. The outcome Of the
suit will have an important bearing

rado to water in other streams.

FREEZING WATER.
Conditions That Cause the Bursting or
Cracking Of Ice.

Conditions That Cause the Bursting or
Cracking Of Ice.
Ice never bursts from freezing. AS
o as the liquid of which it is COM
posed is frozen solid expansion ceases.
The cracking or bursting of ice is
brought about in this way: When wa
ter is subjected to extreme cold ice
crystals will gradually form on its sur
face until the same are covered with a
thin coat OF what appears to be wet
SNOW. From this outer coating of ice
crystals all subsequent freezing goes
downward. the ice thickening accord
ing to the degree Of cold. The water
begins to expand. creating a pressure
upon the unfrozen water below. This
pressure is both downward and out
ward, and in case the water under OBJ
servation is in a vessel the sides and
bottom of the receptacle supply the re-
sistance.
AS the freezing process continues the
pressure upon the confined water and
air in the interior of the bulk increases
until something yields. II the vessel
be stronger than the ice stratum that
has formed over the surface the layer
Of ice will be bent upward at the cen
ter, that being the weakest point, on
account of the fact that the outer
edges Of the CONCEALED mass Ire frozen
fast to the sides of the vessel In which
the experiment is being made. In this
condition the center of the ice contin-
ues to rise or bulge until 1t bursts
from the resistance Of the water below.
Could the vessel be tapped from below
and the water drawn of no amount Of
freezing would be sufficient to crack
or bulge the ice layer on the surface.

HERED'TY AND THE EYES.
Blue or Gray Eyed Parents Cannot
Have Brown Eyed Children.

Blue or Gray Eyed Parents Cannot
Have Brown Eyed Children.
Since blue and probably gray eyed
parents have no brown pigment in the
outer surface of the iris they cannot
transmit brown to that portion Of their
children's eyes. This absent character
istic may be one that has been lost or
1t may never have been acquired. 1t
is known in heredity language as q re-
eessive. Hence, to repeat, two reces.
sives produce in their offspring only
their recessive condition.
The hereditary behavior Of brown eye
color, however, Is very different. In
brown eyes actual pigment occurs in
the iris. Here there is something &C.
cumulated to hand or down to subse-
quent generations. The amount that
a be transmitted. however, depends
on ones own hereditary history as we'll
as that Of ones consort. If both Of
Smiths parents belong to brown eyed
strains, then Smith can have only
brown eyes. And since Smith has been
given, as 1t were, a double dose Of
brown his eyes will be dark brown.
Smith will have. in his turn, only
brown eyed children, whatever may be
the color Of his wife's eyes. In the Ian
l.aage of hereditary, Smiths brown eye
color dominates over blue or gray.
When Smiths brown eye color has
been derived from one parent only.
then his own eyes will tend to be light
er in color and only half Of his germ
cells will have the potentiality for max
ing brown eyes. Hence. If he marries a
tlue or gray eyed wife, only half Of his
children will have brown eyes, and a
light brown. too. because Of two gen.
Grations of dilution. In case Smiths
wife also has brown eyes derived from
n Of her parents only. then three out
uf four of their children will have
brown eyes. but only one Of the three
will get a double dose Of brown; hence
Smiths brown eyed children will not
ell transmit brown in the same degree.
Thus it is possible for a brown eyed
parent to have one-half or one-quarter
IF his children blue or gray eyed. But
1t is never possible for two blue or
gray eyed parents to have brown eyed
acknowledgements.

only after having Travelled twenty-five
