MILLING MEERCHAUM
WITH GASOLINE ENGINE

Very wild and picturesque is the
upper ella country of Southwestern
New Mexico. Isolated, remote from
human traffic, cut by tremendous
canyons, the pine clad mountains are
the haunt Of the black bear and the
grizzly, the black tailed and rarer
white-tailed deer, wild turkey and oc.
casional elk, while the streams
abound in rainbow and speckled
trout. 1t is indeed happy hunt

illogical interest, due to its perfectly
preserved dwellings of prehistoric

on in the direction of the Sapello, tn,

Of the stream, several miles below the

Near the center of the camp stool
a mill which was evidently operated
by gas engine. Upon visiting tn

in concentrating meerchaum and
turned out every day ton and n
half of meerchaum concentrate. al

consisting of two crushers,, revolv.

The seashore and inland disciples of

the coming of spring with its great

heyday of happiness since the new year,
for the thirty-one days of pickerel fish

ALONE WITH HER CHILD,
THE EMPRESS WEEPS
Scene of Desolation in the Winter
Palace Of the Forbidden
City Of China.
Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The star.
PEkING, January g. 1913.
A prncely parsonage who has just re-
turned from the Forbidden city says
that the immense precincts of the winter
palace are absolutely deserted save for
the empress dowager and the child en-
peror and a few hundred eunuchs. All
the princesses, all the occupants of the
the imperial clan have silently disap-
peared, leaving the empress and her child
alone.
The same hundreds Of sheep, pigs and
fowls stipulated by the imperial house
hold ordinances are still daily slaughtered.
but, being uneaten. are sold outside. The
eunuchs left uncontrolled, are rapidly
stripping the palaces of their valuables.
The empress dOwager weeps ceaseless-
ly. but dare not proceed to the summer
palace, since Manchu gossips have cruelty
warned her that she will be butchered
the instant she is caught outside the city.
The emperor is dull, listless child, not
knowing what has happened. He plays
ceaselessly with toy soldiers in the halls
and tagged courtyards that were trodden
by the feet not only of his illustrious an
cestors, but by Kubbai Khan himself, and
which once rang to the hurrahs of horse
men returning from the conquest of half
Asia.
Another Rostand would be required to
immortalize this Chinese Aiglon, who is
destined to live and perish miserably as
his prototype, but 1t is signal disgrace
that the palace and it's treasures are not
carefully guarded and converted into
museums, such as the Moscow Kremlin,
thus leaving to the nation some record
of it's departed glory.

Microbes, Quantity and Quality

From the New York Herald.
The question before the Supreme Court
of the United States in a pure food law
case of the possibility of even some mill
lions of microbes existing IN what are
usually considered fresh, first-week eggs
is interesting to the public. The facts
may be quite shock to most people 5
sensibilities, but they illustrate recent ad-
vances in scientific knowledge as to the
real place of living germs in life. Science
has decided that it is not numbers that
count for ill in these cases, but the quail
ity of the microbes.
Bacteriology is now acquainted with
some five thousand different kinds of mi
crobes, or living minute germs. OF these
perharS tWOScore-not mOre-have some
pathological significance for man and an
imals, while somewhat more than score
have virulence that makes them dan
gerous to human life. The rest of these
minute creatures are quite harmless a
rule, and some of them, as the microbes
that give the special character and taste
and odor to the various cheeses, are ac-
tually wholesome, at least for those who
care for them. On close acquaintance,
then. microbes average up, good and bad
as they are, at least as well as human
beings
well known bacteriolog:st once de-
clared that every time we spread large
piece of bread with butter we scatter over
1t nearly as many microbic individuals as
there are inhabitants in the United States
This in spite of the fact that the butter
! is perfectly good and wholesome. Microbes
are, after all, merely little plants as a
rule. Some of the large plants contain
virulent poisons. Indeed, in spite of the
supposed harmleSsnesS of vegeta BILE rem
edies, our worst poisons, as aconite and
strychnine, are Of plant origin. Some mi
crobes are very virulent. Most of them
are not. 1t is quality, not quantity that
must be determined.

Atmosphere.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


The difference between air and an
atmosphere is the difference between a
person and personality. You and 1 have
known those who were something more
than their mere selves. When they came
into the room they did not simply make
one more; they populated the place with
delightful, invisible fancies, with mel
Odies unheard, with wireless and viewless
Vibrations" so that only two or three
might be gathered together in a large
apartment and yet the room seemed as
full as it could hold, and satisfaction
reigned because of one compelling and
enthralling presence. Every one there
was moved to be seen and to be heard at
his best, or hers; the surcharsed atmos-
phere was provocative of wit and wis
dom. of sentiment and perception. 1t
was easy to talk and it was good to
listen. In the large and amiable under
standing that prevailed, none was afraid
of being misconstrued, none felt that a
thought given out was given back unen-
riched and unappreciated The miracle
was wrought as miracles are always
wrought, not by the group but by one
person. The prophetic gift, the artistic
inspiration. the philosophic insight is not
vouched to the group-it is given to in
dividuals. The group is inarticulate and
seeks a voice. 1t clusters round any one
who leads, or has a mission, or raises
standard, or leads a life that is the pat
tern and the eXemplar of moral beauty.
Where such an one comes. his authority
does not need to assert itself-it is in
disputably and gladly recognized.
