Old-Time TeamSter
Dies at Elko Hospital

ELKO, Dec. 11.-Sad is the end
ing of Robert Crawford, old-time res
ident of Ely, and last of the class Of
early day teamsters that broke trails
in Nevada, who died yesterday at the
county hospital here. Crawford was
a native of Pennsylvania and was at
tracted t o Nevada by the discovery
Of rich silver ores on the Comstock,
and for many years engaged in team
ing at Virginia City, Austin, Belmont,
Eureka, Hamilton and other old-time
camps. On his advent into the silver
state he drove bull teams before
horses were believed to be adaptable
to such work. Crawford was several
times the possessor a neat fortunes,
but owing to a generous and phllan-
thropic nature died penniless.
When notified of Crawford's
death and asked what disposition
should '0e made of the remains,

1t is currently reported today that
within the week ten men employed
at the Western Pacific shops in Elko
will be let out for lack OF work, as
part of the company's severe ie-
t~renchment measures made neces-
sary by a $4,000 900 deficit in the

FAMOUS FOR MANY CENTURIES
Jewel Known az kohinoor, In the
British Diadem, Has Most Re-
markable History.

The first owner of the famous Koh.
moor or Mountain Of Light" dia-
mond, was. according to legend, the
hero Karna, whose deeds are cele-
brated in the "Mahabharata," and who
Is said to have carried the great
stone some 5000 years ago. The Koh-
moor, brought to England from India
and presented to Queen Victoria, made
its first authentic appearance ia his
tory In the fourteenth century. when
Alaed-din carried it to Delhi. Al that
time it is said to have weighed 1893
carats. 1t appeared in the great dia-
mond market of Goiconda in 1850. The
lack of skill of a Venetian lapidary,
Hortensio Borghese, reduced its
weight to 279 carats. After the sack
ing of Delhi in 1889 the diamond went
to Afghanistan, and it belonged in
turn to several Afghan rulers Thence
it came into the possession of the
Sikh chief, Runfeet Singh Upon the
abdication of the last ruler of the Pun
Jab, and the annexation of his do
minions to the British empire, in 1S49,
the great stone became the property
of the East India company, and was
by it presented to Queen Victoria. It
was recut soon afterward and now
weighs 1924 carats. 1t is beyond
price, although $10,000,00O has been
given as a fair valuation.

GREAT IS VIRTUE or GAIETY

Roads of Life VIII Recognize Its
Beneficence.

Gladness Is a pilgrims virtue, and
the more our life has within 1t the
quality of the true pilgrimage, the
more necessary is joy for its perfec-
ton. II we had more mirth in our
religion. 1t would not only be strong

ment but was blissful, never a con-

GREAT INFLUENCE OF BEAUTY
Though Too often Ignored, 1t Is as
Deep and Useful a Part of Life
as Utility.

Beauty is as deep and as useful 9
part of our general life as is what We
term utility. 1t has just such a rea
son for being; it has similar force;
it has set place In the scheme of the
world. Eyes not fully opened to the
beautiful are not wholly alive to the
influence of beauty upon our lives and
our actions. Alas sometimes we scot
at the highest expressions of beauty
That is to say, the highest human ex
preston.
Those even greater beauties, which
are divine expressions, we ignore.
Just think for a moment Take
yourself away from yourself and con.
template yourself and your living, set
against the background of the uuiver-
sal scheme of things. Think OF the
myriads of infinitely petty, wasteful
and useless thoughts and actions, de.
. sires and dislikes which occupy your
day. At the l nent you read this,
take yourself back two years ago. OF
course, you have not the slightest con.
ception of what happened. But let me
tell you that on that day, two years
ago, were happening two, a dozen or
hundred things which seemed to you
to be supreme Importance. DO you
understand how we ill our lives to the
brim with millions of such triGing in
consequences? kansas City Star.

UNIQUE SHIPMENT OF BIBLES
Books Destined for Instruction of the
Heather Are Most Carefully
Sent Forth.

The Bible house at New York city
has recently made a shipment of 1000
Bibles on voyage of $4,000 miles
Poison was worked into the covers OF
the books to hinder the operations of
destroying insects. The Bibles were
soldered up in tin boxes containing ten
each for protection against waves and
weather The tin boxes were repacked
in pairs in heavy wooden crates de-
signed to withstand the hard knocks
incident to many reloadings and to
long journeys under varying condi-
tons. These Bibles, being a part of
the eighth edition printed in the Ian
guage Of the Gilbert islands, are to ar
rive ultimately at Ocean Island, a
small speck in the Pacific 5000 miles
southwest of San Francisco, lying al
most under the equator Ocean Is
land is only a mile and a half in dia-
meter, but it is visited by many steam
ers on account of its rich deposits of
phosphate. Hence its choice as a dis
tributing center for Bibles in the is
lands of the Gilbert group. Mr.. Rich
ard Grenfell of Australia, acting for
the American board, will send or car
ry these books on adventurous voy-
ages of 200 miles or more to the mis-
sion stations scattered through the is
lands.

POINT FOR THE SCIENTIST
Has Not Been refiniteIv Ascertained
as to Whether There Is Snow
on Mars.

Inc polar caps on the Marian sur
face behave in a manner which cor
responds with the snow-covered re-
S4oilS OF our own world, and on the
assumption that the atmosphere is
similar in composition to ours, we
would seem to be quite safe in the
inference that these patches increas-
ing and diminishing as they do I'M
der decreasing and increasing solar
heat are really snow as we know it.
difficulty in such an assumption is
OF course the matter of temperature
of which, however, we have no GER
tain knowledge. On the one hand,
we know that the planets distance
from the sun is such that the inten-
sity OF solar radiation on it's surface
is slightly less than one-half as great
as with US. Then, too, the low dem
s1ty of the atmosphere of Mars would
assist in keeping down the tempera-
ture-probably to a point far below
the freezing point of water. But,
on the other hand, the surface con-
d1tions as we see them in our tele-
scopes would seem to leave no doubt
that the polar caps actually melt in
the Marian summer sending floods
OF water through channels-natural
or artificial-aId causing growth Of
vegetation along their banks. We
are therefore forced to one of two
conclusions, either that the planet has
sources of heat-internal or external
which are not yet explained, or
that the polar Snow is composed of
something else than frozen water"

WHY NOT ENERGY FROM SUN?
tentlon of Those Interested in
Deep Experiments.

In view Of the fact that the sun
delivers energy to the earth at the
rate of 1000 horsepower per acre, it
is not surprising that the problem of
devisfng motor which shall trans
nit this energy into useful work has
proven an attractive one to the ex-
perimentalist. Thus, in California
there was erected plant in which
the heat rays were made to converge
upon a steam boiler, that generated
sufficient steam to run an eight-horse-
power pump. Two more modern and
perhaps better known installations
are those erected at Philadelphia, and
later at Meadi, Egypt. the plants in
these two experiments being designed
on the principle of concentrating the
suns rays upon boiler of large area
and very low pressure.
An analysis of the Egyptian plant,
made by Mr.. A. S. E. Ackermann, B.
&c., extended over three weeks; dur
ing which he was able. to record as
the highest output only 1911 pump
horsepower from a sunshine absorb
ing plant covering seven-eighths of
an acre. That is to say, he recorded
less than 20 pump horsepower, as
against the 5000 horsepower which
would have been obtained from a per-
feet motor, capable Of utilizing the
suns radiation direct.
The result show how little promise
there is of obtaining mechanical ener-
gy from the sunshine on a CONNER
cially economical scale.

FOR UNIFORM ROAD LAWS
Canada to Join Hands With the Uni
ted States If Premier Borden
Approves the Idea.

Canada will be represented with the
United States in an endeavor to OBJ
tain uniform laws pertaining to road
building, if the proposition meets the
approval of Premier Borden, according
to an announcement made at the
American Road congress by A. w
Campbell, deputy minister of railways
and canals for the Canadian govern
ment. Mr.. Campbell said that he
would use his influence in urging the
premier to consent to the appointment
of a committee to confer with com
mittee representing the American
Highway association and the American
Bar association to evolve a plan for
uniform road laws.
Il realize that in Canada, as well as
throughout the United States, we have
40 varieties of road laws for every
province" said Mr.. Campbell. This
tends to retard real road work, and |
heartily indorse any plan that would
bring about practically the same laws
for both the United States and Canada
relative to good roads"
