er.
Il presume we were all carried a
little beyond ourselves by our enthu-
siasm. But tell me what news you
have" The astronomer tugged thought
fully at his mustache.
Il don't mind letting you know. al
though am not advertising 1t as yet,
that is. generally speaking. l have
conceived a little idea that the Off
cials are putting into execution, but
until 1t has been tested | am no in
clined to speak much of 1t. However,
the idea is this: As you know, We
have quite a powerful search light at
the observatory, and nights OF late
| have been in the habit of throwing
it about the ~neighboring cliffs and let
ting it rest for a while here and there
as a matter OF experiment. Well, to
make the story short, upon two occa-
sions after it had remained stationary
for a while l have found the flying
creature within the center of the light.
| had reasoned that it's glare-being
something new to him-might attract
him as il does almost all night flyers,
and 1t seems that 1t did, for he put
himself before II and for several mo-
ments remained motionless and dis
tinct, apparently as fascinated by its
brightness as had he been an elk or
other wild animal. That gave me my
second idea and the authorities adopt
ed it. They are rigging up a rapid
fire gun TO be placed Immediately over
the s~earchlight and which will move
in perfect conjunction with It, the
gun to be 81 sighted that when an OBJ
ject is in the center OF the spot light.
the weapon will be automatically
pointed at him. Then all one will
have TO do will be to operate the
mechanism of the gun and a stream of
high velocity bullets will traverse
down the center of the lane OF light
and in all probability riddle the target,
be 1t Flying Man or anything else.
While the idea has not been demon
strated practically, l am fairly proud
of the suggestion, for being purely
mechanical it does away with the IN
certainty OF human aim. You have
only to set your straight travelling
light, await until your victim appears
before it and then work your straight
shooting gun. The bullets follow the
central light rays and must OF neces.
sity find their mark"
Alan was impressed. Theoretically
at least 1t seems perfect. Within say
a miles range l think it would prove
effective upon a target the size OF the
n we have in mind. Yet how much
more satisfactory It would be If We
could catch him alive" The eyes Of
the elder man glistened rapturously.
"Ah, he would be invaluable, abso-
lutely priceless. Science could afford
to pay millions for him. Through him
a veritable Gordian knot Of mystery
might be unraveled. Astronomy might
leap forward a hundred years in a day
and the other sciences advance in pro-
portion. And If we could only learn
to communicate with him by word OF
mouth"-the speaker sighed and

1t advisable to return for repairs while

Silver City, n. N, Aug 1o.-The war
in Europe will not seriously affect the
mining camps Of southwest New Mex
leo, or the state in general for that
matter, operators say.
The reason for this is the diversified
minerals which are mined in New
Mexico. While copper mining leads IN
this part Of the state, there are also
big properties producing gold, silver,
lead and zinc.
Coal Mining Thrives.
Coal mining in various parts OF the
state, especially in the Gallup. Ration
and Dawson fields, is reported to be
unusually active, with heavy daily out
puts by the mines in the fields men
toned
New Mexico coal has been greatly in
demand since the strike in Colorado,
which has caused a severe fuel short
age there, while in the past few months
thousands Of tons Of coal has been ex-
ported to Mexico for use by the rebels.
OIL Prospecting Continues.
Though no gushers have been
brought in, the drilling operations for
oil in the PecOs valley section con-
tfnue and hope is still held out by the
syndicates engaged in these operations
that their efforts will be rewarded by
the bringing in OF some paying wells.
Should oil be found in paying guam
titles, It might cause a big change in
the fuel situation in the state.
