SAW METEOR FALL
ON LONE MOUNTAIN
DURING A STORM
ELECTRIC PHENOMENON OBJ
SERVED BY RELIABLE WITNESS
AT LONE MOUNTAIN.

A meteorite, apparently about ten
feet square, fell on the west side of
Lone Mountain last week, according
to the statements of Herman Darms,
OF the Darms Coal Mining company.
The spectacle was witnessed about
four o'clock in the afternoon from a
distance of about ten miles on a
clear day. There could be no mis-
take about the phenomenon and had
1t not been for the fact that Mr..
Darms had heavily loaded team in
charge he would have gone to the
vicinity where the aerial messenger
fell to conduct a further investiga-
tion.
The sky was threatening and thun-
der at distance could be heard,
while the air was still and heavy,
the skies being punctured with re-
peated flashes of vivid lightning" !"
said Mr.. Darms. "There was no
rain. Suddenly l saw the meteor ap-
proach the surface of the earth
There was loud kissing noise, ap-
parently due to swift passage through
the atmosphere. On the upper end
there was a long electric spark like
the tail of comet, only it did not
appear to be more than eight or ten
feet long. This gave out bright
white fire showing electric combus-
tion, which expired when the meteor
struck the ground. The impact must
have been on hard, rocky ground, for
could observe the bulk remain on
the surface. where it burned for a
few minutes, emitting a white light,
clearly outlining the celestial trav-
eler. Then the light vanished, but in
about half minute it flared up again
in intense whiteness and finally died
away in another thirty seconds.
There can be no doubt of the nature
of the projectile and | would have
been glad to have had chance to in
vestigate, as have read a great deal
about such things and know that few
of the traditional meteors have ever
been authenticated. People may scott
at the story, but know could not
have been deceived, as l was driving
in the direction of the descent and
could not have avoided the spec
tacle."
The place designated by Mr.. Darms
is about six miles in an air line from
Coaldale, a station on the Tonopah G.
Goldfield railroad, where he is de-
veloping a coal property.

ELko PRINCE TO
INSTALL OWN MILL

L. L. Savage, general manager of
the Elko Prince mine Of Gold Circle,
New, who was in Salt Lake recently
on business, said that negotiations
were under way for the installation
by the company of mill of its own
to handle the big tonnage Of the
property.
He said that San Francisco experts
had recently made experiments show
ing the possibility of 81 per cent ex-
traction of values and asserted that
in the ground owned by the company
100000 tons of ore that would carry
an average of $40 in gold and silver,
with the gold predominating, had
been proved.

The pranks played by DICTIONARIES
when seized by that peculiar hysteria
that the inaction of monotonous rou-
tine brings on, range between farce and
tragedy, seldom touching either extrem-
ity, but being about midway between
the two, says Mr. Frederic Martyr in
his account of life in the French Foreign
Legion. The author saw five years of
active service in this crack corps of the
French army.
There was a sergeant employed as a
clerk in the regimental Office at Sidi-bel-
Abbes. One day the Colonel happened
to be confined TO his bed, and was Wis
tied in his lodgings by this sergeant

chiefs signature. The colonel happened

for the five gallooned sleeve was raised

angry voice ordered him to return to

in an unsoldierlike manner.

The White Man in The
TROPICS.

At a meeting of the Society of Trop-
ical Medicine and Hygiene in London,
Sir Havelock Charles in discussion of
neurathenia among Northern people
who go 10 India, made some interesting
observations on the failure of such peo-
pie to survive without admixture with
the native races or without conforming
to the necessities imposed by the eli
mate. Conforming to the climate"
he says, twill probably mean the pres
ervation of a percentage of strains de-
fective in the primitive qualities, and

The light colored people are perfectly
fitted TO cold climates, but when they
migrate To hot attitudes they are dam
aged by the conditions to which they
are exposed If is said that fresh waves
of immigration are constantly necessary
for the preservation of the purity and
predominance of the white race in a
tropical climate. Unless these occur,
whether the invaders are white or yell

races the foreigners have invariably as
sumed the characteristics of the nativ es
The climate seems to limit, TO define
and moult the foreign characteristics in
accord with the alterations brought
about by the food and the soil As to-
stances of this are cited the disappear
ance of the the Turanian invaders OF In
dia, the failure of any foreign race to
establish itself in Egypt, Mexico or
Peru. The Chinese in Calcutta and Sim
gapore only maintain Their original quail
tiles by importing continuous streams
of new, fresh blood. 1t Is true, Sir
Havelock says, referring more or less
particularly to the experiment at Pana-
ma, that with money and power enough
insanitary conditions may be rectified
and tropical diseases may be banished,
but the heat, the sunlight and the eli
matte conditions cannot be changed ell

Kentucky's Com Crop.

The corn crop of Kentucky is worth
more than all the other farm crops COM
bned. Its estimated value in 1913 was
$50, S67, 100000. more than twice that
of the States tobacco crop.
The year 1913 was not good corn
year and the average yield for this State
was only 20 bushels an acre. Some of
the best of the corn growing States did
not do so well, but the average yield for
the country at large was "a bushels. In
acreage Kentucky ranks 18th among the
States, but in 1913, "a States reported
higher average yie'd. In 1910 and 1912,
better crop years, the States average
was approximately 30 bushels, but the
average in more than half the States Of
the Union was higher
The figures show conclusively that the
corn growers of the State are not get
ting the results they ought to get from
their efforts. Kentucky has $3.50, 900
acres in corn in 1913. Soil Improvement,
more care in seed corn selection and bet
ter methods of cultivation would double
the production of the more than three
million acres of land that Kentucky is
planting every year in corn. Indeed, 1t
is safe 10 say that with only moderate
improvement in these particulars on the
part of the rank and file of the farmers,
there would be a material increase of
production-and that without any in
crease 10 acreage.
The average yield of corn in some of
our counties is as low as 10 bushels.
That this is due solely to poor methods
has been demonstrated by the boys
corn clubs which, in every section of the
State, from the mountains to the Miss
iSsippi river, have made records of 100
bushels and more TO the acre.
