Confirmation OF reports that the

brought 10 this city by a well known
stockman who has just returned
from the Pecos country. He saw the
elk at the end Of las week, and their
condition then, he says, was pitinble,
The state shipped thirty Of the ami
mails In from the Yellowstone coun-

near Glorieta and hauled, in crates,
to n place above Valley Ranch.
There they were placed In a pen.

shelter of any kind. ana the ground

the elk TO lie upon was visible when
the stockmen Inspected the pen last
week.
Nine OF the elk have died. and
their hides lie rotting on the ground,
maggoty and filthy beyond descrlp-
ton. The rest Of the herd are de-
scribed as gaunt and half-starved.
They were suffering from plain lack
OF food, among other things, when
the stookmau saw them. There was
baled alfalfa In the pen, but the
managers were empty.
A tent indicated that a caretaker
was supposed 10 be In charge Of the
herd, but he wasn't In sight.
The stockman was strong in his
denunciatiOn OF the conditions he
found. II vas a shameful thing. he
said. and In any state where a society
for the prevention OF cruelty TO AMI
mails was active prosecution OF those
responsible for the condition Of the
elk would be prosecuted.

Boiling Water
Without Fire

IT is possible to make a pail OF water
boil without putting 1t on the fire
and without applying external heat
to II in any way. In fact you can make
a pail of water boil by simply stirring
II with wooden paddle. The feat was
performed in the physical laboratory OF
Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
and anyone may do it with little trouble
and perseverance
All you have to do is to place the water
in a pail-it may be in water if neces-
sary-and stir it with a wooden paddle.
If you keep at it long enough it will GER
tainly boil. Five hours of constant and
rapid stirring are sufficient to perform
the feat successfully. The water will,
after a time, grow warm, and then it
will grow hot-so hot, in fact, that you
cannot hold your hand in it, and finally it
will boil. Professor Ames, of Johns
Hopkins. annually illustrates some of
the phenomena of. heat by having one
of his students perform the trick in front
of his class. 1t is tiresome job, but
it is perfectly feasible.
The point which Professor Ames wishes
to illustrate is what is known as the me-
chanical equivalent of heat. 1t requires
just so many foot-pounds of work to de-
velop given quantity of heat By turn
ing the paddle in the water at q regular
speed it is possible to find out just how
much work is required to raise the
temperature of water one degree. The
best measurement so far made, and, in
fact. the one which is accepted as the
standard Of the world is that which was
measured in Johns Hopkins College,
Heat is developed in almost any sub
stance which is subjected to continuous
or very violent action. 1t is an old trick
for a blacksmith to forge without fire.
Long-continued and violent hammering
on two pieces of wire will heat them to
such an extent that they can be welded
together.

Golden Gate
Once Mouth of
Great River

FEW people in viewing the Bay Of San
Francisco think Of It as other than
magnificent 1and-locked harbor
about which has grown the commercial
metropolis of the Pacific coast of the
United States Yet this harbor did not
always exist, according to report on the
geology Of the region recently published
by the United States Geological Survey,
for at one time through the depression
now occupied by the bay ran great river
that drained the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys.
This river probably flowed between the
Tiburon Peninsula and Angel Island, and
then through the gorge of the Golden
Gate, where at present the greatest depth
of water is 400 feet After the river val
ley was formed the coast slowly sank
and the ocean entered through the
Golden Gate. flooded the valley. and
formed the present bay.
Thus the Yalley occupied by the bay Is
really not so very different from Santa
Clara and Santa Rosa valleys, and should
the Pacific coast sink a few hundred feet
lower, those fertile valleys would form
great additions to the present bay.
But the change from river valley to
a bay happened very slowly, for even
great earthquakes al a rule do not move
large areas Of the earth more than q few
inches, and It Is likely to be thousands
Of years before the outlines Of the pres
emit bay are greatly changed by nature
The region is particularly interesting,
for It Is one OF the newest parts Of our
continent Some Of the rocks belong to
the geologic period known as the
Jurassic, but many of them are much
younger and were laid down on the floor
of the ocean long after the Appalachian
Mountains we're formed.
Although these rocks are relatively
young, yet they are hundreds of thou
sands Of years old and have been raised
out Of the sea and tilted until In places
they stand nearly ON end.
The forces which have raised these
rocks and have folded and broken them
are still active, yet their effects are so
gradually accomplished that for the most
ton or even In several centuries. Some
times, however, their effect Is more ap-
parent, as for instance when they cause
earthquakes. Earthquakes are dine to
slight movements along what biologists
call faults" which are really broken

rocks on one side of the break or crack

old, and It is to be hoped that movement
along them has ceased, but two are alive.

TO KEEP DOWN INSECT PESTS
Bird Houses In Field and Garden Are
a Profitable Investment In
Many Ways.

Before erecting bird houses to at
tract the feathered songsters without
whose presence successful gardening
is impossible, one should first deter
mine the kind of birds to which his
premises are adapted. The question
usually next arising is as to the num-
Der of birds that can be accommo-
dated. Unless grounds are large, it
is generally useless to expect as ten
ants more than a pair of each species,
except martins. However, the singu-
lar intolerance shown by most birds
during the breeding season to others
of their kind does not operate be-
tween those of different species. A
dozen different kinds Of birds will

although a warm gray or mode or

with a lace pattern about the lower

the black veil with binding of white
satin. A few varieties are bordered
with ribbon an inch wide, but the
great majority of all the wells are cut
circular, hang to a point a little below
the shoulders, and are bound with a
narrow fold of black satin.
An extreme of the mode is made of
a square Of black flet net having
small solid squares scattered over its
surface. The net is a yard wide. A

NATIONAL SOUP OF FRANCE
Delicious and Nourlshing Is That Prep
aration Known to World as
Pot-au-Feu.N

Pot-au-feu, which may be called the
national French soup, is a delicious,
nourishing soup. 1t should be made
in a covered e~arthenware pot.
Take three pounds of round of beef,
a large marrow bone, six carrots, two
or three turnips, two leeks. a bunch of
parsley, several cloves, a bay leaf,
and n lump of sugar. Put the beef
into the pot and cover it with as many
quarts of water as there are pounds of
beef, add a little salt and let it boil up,
then skim carefully and add a little
cold water. Let it boil again, skim
and then add the vegetables. Cover
with the lid, allowing a little air to
get In, and let cook over a good fire
constantly at boiling point for several
hours. When cooked, remove the meat
and vegetables, skim the liquor, and
serve in a tureen with slices of bread.
The vegetables may be served sepa-
rately, and the meat which has been
cooked in the pot may be used in
many ways; stewed, cooked au gratin,
It is especially delicious served with a
thick tomato luce.

is a good Illustration Of the axiom
that rich materials look best when
simply made up, for it is unusual and
impressive. But the odel is not suit
ed to commonplace materials.
Another development in an entirely
different material is equally effective.
This is demonstrated in a gown made
of t~wine-colored net, the overgarment
showing the net laid in side plaits a
half inch deep. But in this gown a silk
cord partly defines the waist line,
which it encircles at the belt, falling
below it at the front and fastening in
a knot at one side like a Greek girdle.
The underskirt is of plain net over a
foundation of satin in the same color.
Although there is no fare in the
skirt or upper garment, they are both
roomy. 1t is the lack of definition of
the figure that adapts the velvet model
to the stout figure. But in the dress
made of net the plating of the ma
terial and the addition of the girdle
produce a gown which is ideal for a
slender figure.
