Of photographing the human soul as
it leaves the body after death. The
plot, which is unique. is as follows:
Juan Palores invents camera which
is SO delicate that he believes it ca
pable of photographing the human
soul just as he has concluded his
invention, his wife, Catherine, is ta-
ken sick. All hope of her recovery
is lost. Palores then determines to
her soul as it leaves her
body This he does, hiding the mega
tive and an account of the invention
behind a painting of his dead wife.

fall from his horse,
Sixteen year elapse. Palores' daugh-
ter. Alice, is now an attractive young

Zurich, Dec. g.. Switzerland's lot
since the war began has been hard
one. The cost of maintaining the
army in state Of mobilization is esti
mated at fully 100000 a day. The loss
to the hotel keepers in three months
is figured at $25,OOO,OOO,
The hotel keepers probobly suffer
mmore than any other class, especially
as they had lean years in 1912 and
1913 owing to bad weather. They
had looked forward to 1914 ais likely
to make up all deficits; the weather
from the beginning Of the summer was
excellent and the rush of tourists in
June and early July was unprecedent-
ed.
The hotel keepers probably suffer
more than any other class. especially
ed away by the panic among the
Swiss bankers, which caused the re-
fusal Of all letters OF credit and even
foreign money At present many OF
the big hotels are closed and the num-
Der of guests in those which remain
open is almost negligible. Nor is
there much likelihood of any improve
ment in conditions in time for the
winter sports season. AS a matter Of
fact, living conditions in Switzerland
have changed very little. There is a
shortage of coal and petrol but food
prices have probably increased not
much more than 10 per cent.

COOLIES KEEP QUEUES

Picking, Dec. 9.-At the suggestion
Of foreign advisors to the government
the forcfble amputation Of queues has
been abandoned. The ministry of the
interior had issued instructions to the
police of Peking to cut off forciDly
the queues of rickshaw coolies. The
police were armed with scissors and
proceeded to fulfill instructions. The
rickshaw coolies banded sogether and
in several instances resisted and in
ilred one or two policemen. Two OF
the foreign advisors to President
Yuan Shi Kai pointed out to prorni,
nent Chinese officials of modern edll-
cation that this action was unwarrant-
cd on the part of the ministry and
VAS distinctly contrary to the ideas
held in foreign countries of the rights
Of a citizen Of a republic The Chi
nese official argued that the queue
was a, badge of seryitude. The adj
yisors replied that it may have been

Thus, when prospective investor
writes he can receive literature that

he is not likely to care much about

Sign for Transcontinentat Road
The club, upon hearing the report

AMERICANS Nor HuRr


Paris, Dec. 9.-The American ambu-
lance corps of Paris has done much
daring work at the front but thus far
there has not been a single casualty
among the staff, composed of doctors,
bearers and automobile drivers. A
little girl from village in the firing
zone was killed by shell while
watching the American ambulance
men placing wounded man in an
automobile, yet no one else was hurt.
A British ambulance next to one of
the American cars was struck by a
shell and blown into fragments, kill
ing or wounding the entire crew, but
none Of the American party nearby
was touched Some doubt has arisen
as to whether neutrals should expose
themselves to such danger, but the
difficulty has been with the leaders
OF the American ambulance to keep
their associates out Of the range of
fire. The American ambulance train
is often cheered when it appears close
up to the trenches. The men stay at
the front a week or ten days and are
then relieved by others from Paris.
A repair car accompanies the ambu.
lances at the front and any accident
to machine is thus almost immedi-
ately repaired. Enough duplicate
parts are kept in stock in this repair
car to construct a new machine out
right.

.LENOIR ELECTED
SECRETARY OF

PLoYs FORMER Y. M. c, A.
LEADER

At the regular monthly meeting of
the board Of directors of the CONNER
cial club of Las Vegas last night Phil
H. LeNoir was elected secretary of
the organization. Previous to action
upon three applications the directors
mad gone on record as refusing to pay
the secretary a salary of more than
$50 per month. Mr.. LseNoir, in his APP
plication, stated that he would not
consider an offer Of less than $125 per
month.
There was considerable sentiment
in the board in favor of proceeding
during the coming year in much the
same manner as in the twelvemonth
just closed, which is to have the pub
licity and boosting of the organization
done by action of the board of direct
ors, while the secretary looks after
the clerical work and collections It
was pointed out by the advocates of
this plan that the club cannot afford
to employ a high priced secretary and
supply him with necessary funds for
obtaining necessary publicity for
Greater Las Vegas and San Miguel
county 1t was declared that the club,
during the past year, has done the
best work in its history and has gain
ed lasting and manifest results. It
has been able to do this without gofng
into debt A secretary has been EN-
ployed at a moderate salary, $50 per
month, and given office room in which
10 conduct his law practice, it being
understood chat he was to give the
club full value In collections and cleri-
cal work. It was shown that this plan
has been most successful, the secre-
tary, Leo M. Upton, handling the af-
fairs of the office in an excellent way.
The advocates of paying a larger
stipend declared that a man of Mr.
LeNoir's we'll known ability as am ad-
vertising man and publicity agent
would be able to gain a large amount
Of publicity for the community free
Of cost by writing acceptable articles
Tor the large publications Of the coun.
try. Attention was called to the fact
that Mr.. LeNoir, when secretary of
the Y. NJ G. A., proved a valuableI
advertising man for Las Vegas, owing
to his taking the infefativo in matters
of community publicity. It was de-
elared that there are a sufficient num-
Der of prominent business men in the
city who are anxious to have Mr.. Lel
Noir at the head of the community's S
advertising and boosting campaign TO
raise enough money monthly to make
up the difference between $50 and
s125 per month.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
MIR. LeNoir's ability is well known,
but many directors were of the opin-
ion that he would prove too high
priced man for the place, under ex-
listing conditions. Upon the announce

The locket too, took his fancy. and he placed the chain about his neck in imitation of the ornamentation he had seen to be so common among the black men he had visited. The brilliant stones gleamed strangely against his smooth, brown hide.
 The letters he could scarcely deci. rher. for he had learned little or noth- ing Of script. so he put them back in the box with the photograph and turn ed his attention to the little book.
 This was almost entirely filled with fine script; but. while the little bugs were all familiar to him. their arrange incnt and the combinations in which they occurred were strange and entire ly incomprehensihe.
 Tarzan had long since learned the use of the dictionary; but. much to his sorrow and perplexity. 1t proved of no avail to him in this emergency.

 Tarzan replaced the box in the cup board. but always thereafter he car ried the features of the strong. smiling face of his father in his heart and in his head a fixed determination to solve the mystery of the strange words in the little black book.
 At present he had more important business in hand. for his supply of ar rows was exhausted. and he must needs journey to the black mems vii. lage and renew 1t.

 For hours he lay awaiting his oppor- tunity to drop down unseen and gather up tho arrows for which he had come. But lt was not until night fell that rarzan saw his chance. This time he took all of the arrows. for he had brought a number of long fibers to bind them into n bundle
 When the savages discovered that once more their arrows had been pll- fered it seemed to them that they had offended some great god who ruled this part of the jungle. From then on an offering of food was daily placed beneath the great tree from whence the arrows had disappeared. in an effort to conciliatc the mighty one.
 But the seed of fear was deep sown. and had he but known 1t Tarzan of the apes had laid the foundation for much future misery for himself and his tribe.
 That night he slept in the forest not far from the village. and early the next morning set out slowly on his homeward march, hunting as he trav- eled. Only few berries and an oc- casional grubworm rewarded his search. and he was half famished when. looking up from a log he had been roofing beneath. he saw Sabor, sN. ef ast, ff, n trail not twenty paces from him.
 The great yellow eyes were fixed upon him with a wicked and baleful gleam. and the red tongue licked the longing lips as Sabor crouched. worm ing his stealthy way with belly flat tened against the earth.
 Tarzan did not attempt to escape He welcomed the opportunity foi which. in fact. he had been searching
 Quickly he unslung his bow and fit ted a well daubcd arrow. and as Saboi sprang the tiny missile leaped to meet bim in midalr. At the same instant Tarzan of the apes jumped 10 one side and as the tiger struck the ground be vond another death tipped arrow sanl | deep into bis loin.

 With difficulty he wriggled from be meath the great weight, and as he stoo' erect and gazed down upon the troph! of his skill a mighty wave of eXulta l ton swept over him.
 With swelling breast, he placed foot upon the body of his powerful enemy and. throwing back his fin young head, roared out the awful chal lenge of the victorious bull ape.
