The CamePs Stomach.

The stomach of a camel is divided
into four compartments, and the waits
of these are lined with large cells, ev-
cry one of which can be opened and
closed ut will by the means of power
full muscles, When Il camel drinks ii
drinks for such Il long time you really
think it never meant to leave off. The
fact is that it is net satisfying its
thirst, but is filling up its cistern as
well. One after another the cells of its
stomach are filled with water, and as
soon as each is quite full it is tightly
closed. Then, when u few hours later
the animal becomes thirsty, all it has
to do is to open one of the cells and
allow the water to flow out. Next day
ii opens one or two more cells, and
so it goes on day after day until the
whole supply is exhausted. In this Gu
rious way u camel can live five or even
six days without drinking Mt all, and
so is able to travel quite easily through
the desert. where the wells are often
hundreds of miles apart.-Exchange

The "Fins" of a Submarine.

There are few persons outside of the
navy who have ever seen Il subma-
rine's fins" in action. The modern
submersible craft built for the United
States navy are all provided with these
lateral rudders, but when the vessels
are at the surface or moving in level
plane under water the fins are folded
back into recesses in the sides of the
hull The purpose of these plans is to
aid the submarine to rise or sink on
an even keel. "Porpoising," Or rising
and diving at IN angle, is avoided in
submarine practice as. much as pCssi-
bic. The lateral fins are attached to the
hull by balSand socket joints, so that
they may be rotated to give planning
effect either upward or downward at
any angle and folded away when not
in use.-Popular Mechanics.

Let Something Good be Said.

Let SometnIng 1ood De SAID.
When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall,
instead
Of words of blame, or proof of thus and
SO,
Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his
head:
Even the cheek of shame with tears is
wet,
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorified,
If something good be said.
And so I charge ye, by the thorny
crown,
And by the cross ON which the Saw
Jour bled,
And by your own SOULS hope of fair
renown,
Let something good be said

The meat was purchased under contract

Union Pacific Files
Suit Over It's Taxes

For the purpose of resisting the col
lection OF taxes upon the increased valua-
ton OF its property in Council Bluffs the
Union Pacific Railroad company. through
its general attorney, George S. Wright
yesterday filed a suit In the district court
against the city and the Board Of County
Supervisors. The suit is also an. appeal
from the assessment TO be levied on the
Iowa half Of the bridge across the Mis-
souri, river. The company asks the court
TO annul the entire valuation fixed by
Assessor Riker and approved by the city
council as board OF review.
Assessor Riker had fixed the valuation
Of the eastern half of the bridge at
$4,000 but the council reduced II to
100000 The company claims that the
valuation should not exceed $4,000. 1t
is pointed out that the franchise Of the
bridge is the gift Of the United States
government and is not subject TO taxation
and the claim is made that any valuation
of the company's property that includes
the franchise is Illegal
The claim is made that Assessor Riker
fixed the full actual valuation Of the
bridge property while assessing all other
real estate in the city at 90 per cent OF
its actual value.
