Hypnotic Power In Animals.

An interesting instance of the hyp-
motto power possessed by i good many
animals is given by a correspondent OF
the Glasgow Herald. One morning out
side Elein a blackbird was observed to
be standing by the roadside, paying no
heed to the footsteps of the passepby
1t was gazing fixedly Mt four young
weasels under the hedge. which wcre
approaching in 4 semicircle, apparently
to surround it. Just then a warming
cry was heard from behind. uttered
presumably by the parent weasel, AMI
the young ones disappeared III the
hedge. The bird still remained power
less and immt vatlc. and only after re
peated urging did it fly TO a tree Hear
ly. when it gave forth weak. fright
ened sound, rs though still under the
influence of the terror which had ar
rested its faculties

COTTON THREAD.
Its Invention Was Case of Necessity
Caused by War.

Its Invention Was Case of Necessity
Caused by War.
Curiously enough. 1t was n war that
brought about the revolution in tho
manufacture of sewing thread. When
Napoleon occupied north Germany in
1903 the supply of silk from Hamburg,
which was used in making heddles. or
the loom harness. in Paisley, was cut
off.
Uupss some substitute could be
found the weaving industry of Paisley
would be- ruined. Peter Clark expert
mented with cotton warp yarn and
succeeded in making thread like the
six cord sowing thread used today 1t
took the place of silk in the heddles,
and the weaving business went on I'M
interrupted by The war.
Then it occur I'd 10 another man TO
use the citton thread in place OF linen
for sewn-... and he recommended it TO
the women of the Town. 1t was so
much smoother than the linen that the
women liked il. The thread was sold
In hanks aud wound by the purchaser
into little halls, but the merchant soon
decided TO wind the hank on bobbin
or spool for his customers as an added
inducement to purchase it instead OF
the linen.
From this beginning the cotton
thread trade has grown, and now silk
and linen are used only for special
work Philadelphia Record.

BISBEE COPPER DRILL
EXPLORATIONS START
BY NEXT SATURDAY
Churn Drills Will Be Placed on
Property Within Next Couple
Of Days; Interest in Company
Has Been Aroused.

Work starts this morning, by EN-.
ployees of the Bisbee Copper Mining
and Development company, of prepar-
ing the spots on the property of the
company where the churn drill opera,
tious will commence. Albert f. Haney,
an old churn drill expert, with his
machine expects to be in position
Saturday morning to start his actual
drilling.
Last week it was stated by several
officers of the company that churn
drill work would be started within a
week or ten days A fastening OF
plans has enabled the work to be
started sooner than anticipated at
first
The FIRST hole win be sunk on the
Pauline claim. Another is planned on
the line of the Pauline and Windy
claims and a third is expected to be
put down on the Gulch claim Each
is to be sunk at least 1000 feet Should
soft ore be encountered it is possible
the drills may be stopped before the
full quota is driven but in this case
the indications will be such that any
lessening of the distance to be driven
will be good news to the shareholders.
Tom Winwood president OF the
company, and moving spirit in its or

The company has been importuned to

News of the organization of the
company has gone broadcast through
the southwest. Inquiries of the com
pany have been received from various
parts of the country. The location OF
the property, the excellent indica-
