His UnheaIed War Wound.

Veterans and near veterans were fighting all the battles over again on the street car. Thrilling escapes and bloodcurdling adventures had been related by the dozen when the turn came to little old man with a long beard.
 Stroking this adornment care fully, the old man said:
 "Well, boys, the war cost me just $90O in cold cash. didn't want to go, so paid substitute the money to serve for me. Do you know, that fellow went all through the var without getting scratch? 1 could have done the same thing and saved my money. l tell you. war is a ca lamity. ."-Exchange.

Love Your Task.

The thing one loves to do is never tirescme, and if you can teach your self to enjoy the common routine there will never be any depressing fatigue. Perhaps one can never grow to love the drudgery part of any work, but if the mind is kept above it by working toward a more efficient way of per forming the task, or if not that, train ing the mind to do the homely things with the thoughts on something else, you will obviate much of the usual weariness, especially in the homework routine.

SO THROUGH HARDEST ROCK
No Substance on Earth Can Resist the Action of Prepared Steel
 Wires.

Stone is still sawn by hand, even in great cities where the latest appli- ances of the mechanical art are to be found. Yet the mechanical saving of rock is at least sixteen centuries old, and in recent years has reached a stage of perfection.
 The idea of using a metal cord and a mixture of sand and water for saw ing stone was patented by Eugene Chevallier in France in 1854. His ap- paratus, with scarcely any change, was used last year in cutting a trench through the Pont Neuf in Paris.
 The principle upon which the me chanical stone-saw works is described by Victor Raynourd in La Science ct la Vie as follows:
 An endless rope composed of three steel wires twisted together is set in movement and draws with it a grind ing granular substance, pressing this hard upon the stone that is to be sawn. The mordant substance is grit mixed with water. The stream of wa ter renders the movement easy and prevents the heating of the cable. The ends of the cable are joined by splic- ing.
 The hardest rocks, such as porphyry, are now sawn more easily than the softer, such as marble, but not so rap idly. Marble is sawn at the rate of nearly nine inches an hour, granite at from six to seven inches an hour.

Deepest Wells in the World.

At Czuchow, in the coal field oi upper Silesia, is the deepest well ir the world. It has reached a depth oi over 7,34S feet, a trifie under a mile and half below the surface. America has three wells ranking next in order That near Mcdonald, Pa, some ten miles southeast O. Pittsburgh, is 6,seO feet deep; one in Putnam Heights Conn.,, is 6.OO4 feet deep, and one now being bored at Derrick City, Pa, has reached the depth of 5.S20 feet. Al though each of these wells is over a mile in depth, little that Is new in geologic formation has been learned from the borings, as ewing to the dir of the strata, many comparatively shal. low wells have touched the underlying rock beds of very old formations Popular Mechanics.

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 a voyage of 15,000 miles. Poison was worked into the covers Of the books to hinder the operations of destroying insects. The Bibles were soTdered 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- tions. 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 CTS on account of it's rich deposits of phosphate. Hence it's 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.

THREE THOUSAND YEARS OLD
Structure on Site of Prehis- toric Tiryns.

Excavations recently carried out by the German Archaeological institute on the site of prehistoric Tiryns have revealed the existence of still more ancient palace lying beneath the re mains of the palace laid bare by Schlie- mann and Dropfeld some thirty years ago.
 The whole elevation on which the fortress-palace stands was thickly in habited at least as far back as 2005 B. c. Among the early inhabitants now discovered is a large circular building about fourteen meters in di- ameter, which may be recognized as the most ancient palace of the dynasty of Tiryns. This structure, which was built before 1900 B. C., differs com pletely in design from the later build ing. The places of sepulcher of the local princes were long sought in vain, but a bee hive tomb in excellent pres ervation has been discovered and e1- cavated. More than two thousand years ago 1t was robbed of it's treas ures, and in the time of the Roman emperors it was converted into an oil mill.
 Other tombs have been found which 1t is hoped may prove intact. They will be excavated.

The Better Plan.

The feeling of many men with regard to public office is much the same as that which certain dis tinguished Frenchman had toward the Academy-that group of forty who are called "the immortals." :" He was asked one day why he did not propose his candidacy for the Academy "Ah." said he, eff l ap- piled and were admitted some one might ask. Why is he in it ? and I should much rather hear it asked, Why isn't he in it?'"

NelUs Notes From County En-
 gineer's Office

Tell your road troubles to the county engineer.
 Petitions for the bridge bond election are now being circulated.
 Repair work on the Shumway to Showlow road is now Tn pro- gress.
 Excellent worK is being done on the Fort A pache-Springerville road by Agent Peterson with his Indians.
 All roads will continually grow into bad condition until there is rain. The gravel surfaced roads will hold out the longest.
 The Forestry service contem- plates considerable work on the roads within the reserve, but little actual work has been done at this date.
 This is the time of year that the deep sand washes are the bane of auto drivers and heavily loaded teams. Here's hoping that it may soon rain.
 Next to heavy gravel. cinders are the best native material within the county for road sur facing, but crushed stone is better than either. The county needs rock crusher badly.
 There seems to be little pros pect that the state engineering department will begin work on the bridge near the mouth of the Rio Puerco before late in the summer. This is regretable for the summer rains will probably make the Puerco impossible and overland traffic will be delayed and will cause the loss of thou sands of dollars to the people of the county by the extra travel involved.

Proud. ImpsrlaI Race.

The Peruvians are proud, imperia race, living amid the grandest scenery of tie western hemisphere, and hold ing high ideals of what is best in edI cation and the unbought grace of life On the great country estates there is much of the fine tradition and chival rous sentiment that came from tbs best people of Castile and Aragon The Indians of the high plateaux are a unique reminder of a civilization that bourgeoned centuries before the face of the white man had blossomed like a flower in the western forests The immemorial records of a civiliza tion that vanished in the midst oi mans earliest recollections are faintly suggested in splendid ruins of the brilliant scenes. The name and fame of the brilliant men who built tie walls and temples of Cuzco are lost and all we know of the wonder anc the charm of that forgotten culture ir the Andes is found in the pathetic ruins of cities that are half as old as recorded time.-"The Empire Childrer of the Sun," Peter MacQueen. in Ma tional Magazine.

Six Centuries Without a Doctor.

According to Pliny, Rome four ished for 600 years without a doc tor. It is maintained by some, how ever, that when making this state ment Pliny was not aware that cer- tain Greek physicians resided in Rome at least during a part of the period named But there is cer- tainly no question that in the early days of its history physicians were very scarce in Rome and doubtless because there was little occasion for their services. With the advance of civilization maladies have multi piled, and with the increase of dis ease there has been proportionate increase of physicians.

WHY NOT ENERaY FROM sUH?
Problem That Should Engage the At tention 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 devising a motor which shall trans init this energy into useful work has proven an attractive one to the ex- perimentahst. Thus, in California there was erected a 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 a boiler of large area and very low pressure.
 An analysis of the Egyptian plant. made by MT A. s. E. Ackermann, B. Sc, extended over three weeks; dur ing which he was able to record as the highest output only 191 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.

Of Course He Did.

A Scottish laddie, delivering milk, was stopped the other day on his round by two police officers, who asked him if his employers put any thing in the milk.
 "Oh, ayei" was the innocent answer
 The officers, thinking they had a clear case of adulteration, offered the boy sixpence if he would tell them what was put in it.
 "Ah," said the boy, with grin, Eye wadna gie's the saxpence though ] telrt ye?"
 "Oh, yes, we will." said the officers.
 "Gie's it, theni" said the little feI low.
 The sixpence was duly handed over, with the question:
 "Now, what does your employer put in the milk?"

Play Gaze for Baby.

Take two high-backed dining room chairs. set with front of seats togeth- CT. This leaves the backs at each end. Then measure the sides of the two chairs and make light frame of that size, to which tack small wire fencing. Tie frame at top and bot tom of chair posts and thus the cage is completed. It can be easily put together and taken apart at pleas ure. Put baby in with playthings and cushions. This keeps baby off the floor and away from drafts. Baby can stand or sit of even walk a little, as the fancy seizes him. Baby will be delighted and so will his mama.

Almost Too Much.

"Yes," sighed the opera manager i've had a pretty rough season every way. But what took the sand out of me was the row between De Rocker, the leading tenor, and De Squalchi, the priraa donna. You know what an awkward stage presence De Rocker has?, We'll, he stepped on Squalchi's train 13 times during one performance, and the next night she came on as Marguerite in bloomers.

GAMBLERS LUCK.
A Joke Which Brought Fortune to Its
 Innocent Victim.

Having lost every cent of his ready money at the gaming tables, an English visitor at Monte Carlo wired a pathetic appeal for help to friend in England Two days later he received letter addressed in the friends handwriting which on being opened revealed d five pound note.
 Without pausing to read the let ter. the plunger hastened to Ciro's, the famous restaurant in the Ga lerie Charles ILL, and changed his ''fver" into French money. From Ciro's he went straight to the ca sino. where, experiencing an ex- traordinary run of luck. he not merely retrieved all his previous losses, but gained substantial in crease into the bargain.
 Weary of play, he retired with a few cronies to Ciro's again to cele- brate the occasion. The usually genial M. Giro met him at the door of his establishment with flood of reproaches and upbraidings. The five pound note was bad! He waved it angrily in the plunger's face mais oui, it was false, this five pound notel
 The plunger took the guilty ''fver" and scrutinized it carefully. It was one of the sham banknotes issued by Sir Augustus Harris and bore on its face an advertisement of the Drury Lane pantomime. The English friend, himself as "broke'' as the Monte Carlo plum ger, had posted him the fiagrantly worthless note as a joke-a joke which had the plunger taken the trouble to examine the ''fver" or read it's covering letter he would have seen only too clearly himself. It was fortunate that he did not do so. He merely paid Giro his 6 and. inviting the pacified restaurateur to share in the champagne, pretended that the whole affair was an intend ed witticism.
 The conceit of a croupier, who fondly imagined that he understood the English language, was instru- mental in presenting another and far less experienced Britisher with 1000 francs. This gentleman, handing a 1000 franc billet to the croupier in question. asked for plaques in exchange for it. Plaques are the large five louis gold pieces peculiar to Monaco. The croupier. fancying that the player had said ''black" and was requesting him to place the note on the ''black" com partment of the cloth, did so unob- served. Black duly turned up. and the croupier politely handed 2.O0O francs to the surprised Britisher.- Chambers Journal.
