Farmers Fruit To
Run Their Machinery
Scientist Tells Them to Make
Oenatured Alcohol and Use It
as Motive Power.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 2O.-Farmers
should get the motive power to run
the engines on their farm machinery
from denatured alcohol made from
inferior apples Joseph NJ. Anglada, Of
New York. said in an address here.
This is the solution Of the problem
Tor supplying power on the farm" he
said. Farmers should establish CO.
operative alcohol plants. There are
barrels Of apples which go to waste
on the farm. The farmers of each
nelghborhood in which apples are
produced should gather up these ap-
Pies and take them TO a cooperative
mill and denatured alcohol could be
made in large quantities.
The motive power furnished by
alcohol is more desirable than that
from any other source"

VICTIMS CD MAD
WHEN TRAPPED.
IN DEATH VALLEY
Tragedies Of Lower California
Desert Told by Bodies of
Overwhelmed Men.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20.-The
recent death of Peter A. Busch, a Col
orado miner. in Death Valley, recalls
many instances Of the treachery Of
that portion OF California which YVES
denominated by the early tribal In
dams Is the valley Of Fire"
The Piutes. Washoe and other tribes
in early days condemned their crfrui-
nails to the country surrounding Death
Valley. When an outlaw Indian vio-
lated the most sacred laws of his tribe
ne was condemned to the Valley Of
FIRE, where he was expected soon TO
perish.
OF the hundreds Of bodies found in
Death Valley, where men persisted
from heat and thirst, they are almost
universally naked 10 the waist. The
trail made by the men before death
also shows a circuitous course.
Al a certain stage, after being at.
tackled by the heat, the person begins
to run and claw at his breast. First
his hat Is abandoned. Then he begins
to claw at his shirt, and finally tears
II from him.
Then he turns in q circuitous route
and narrows the circuit until finally
he falls exhausted IN heap and
never rises again. Delirium comes on
instantly.
It is presumed that the terrible SUI
fertng from the heat and thirst feels
Ike load on his lungs and makes
breathing difficult, and that the vic
tim tmagines by running he is getting
away from the thing. and that in
clawing OF his upper garments he Is
relea sing the weight.
Scientists who have visited Death
Valley in warm weather and had a
touch Of the heat state that the ex-
traordinary effect OF the heat there Is
caused by the peculiar situation of
Death Valley. II Is from 100 to 400
feet below sea level and is shut in on
all sides by high mountains
The Panamints range shuts out the
moist air from the Pacific Ocean, and
the Funeral and Grapevine ranges
shut out the wind from the slight
vegetation on the eastern side, so that
the only wind that reaches Death Val
ley and the atmosnhere OF that region
IS the drvest O. all places on earth;
that It absorbs from every living
thing both human and vegetable,
every particle Of moisture.
This is illustrated by the fact that
at certain places IN Death Valley,
when the thermometer is at its high
est-often 1877 degrees in the shade
man never can satiate his thirst.
As soon as he takes the canteen from
his lips the thirst returns just as
strong as ever.
When the system is drained Of all
moisture the brain yields, the victims
eyes stare Ike n madman's and he
runs his circuitous course to death.
