MeSCal Bean Will Pro.
duCe Real IntOXiCatiOn

At a conference of special
government officers in Washing
ton, which was attended by rep
resentatives from Arizona, the
prohibition law of this sta[e, as
it might affect the sale of liquor
to Indians, was thoroughly dis
cussed, it being the concensus
of opinion that the federal court
in this state would soon be re-
lieved of a part of his burden on
this score.
1t was pointed out that IN the
border towns the Indians were
receiving a large portion of the
fire water they purchased fro m
Mexicans in the form cf mescal.
It was also stated that the Mexi-
can mescal bean had been the
source of great trouble along
this line in the southern part OF
the state and the prohibition
law does not touch this highly
Intoxicating product. 1t is not
generally known, but neverthe-
less a fact, that in the southern
part of Arizona and northern
Mexico, traffic in the mescal
bean is carried on to quite an
eqtent.
This bean is about the same
size as the regular white bean,
black and glossy, and when
placed in the mouth dissolves
rapidly. 1t is said to produce
intoxication of the worst kind.
The bean is used in it's raw state
! by the Mexicans and Indians,
while in many instances 1T is
c oked and the juice utilized.
It is stated by those who are
j fully acquainted with the prop

ANCIENT WHEAT.

Many years ago a Sutter county
(Cal.) farmer named Proper, by
following the Burbank method, de-
veloped seed wheat of great value,
which was eagerly sought by the San
Joaquin grain farmers. But the
wheat grown from this seed did not
maintain its valuable properties
through successive crops. Year by
year it lost some of them, until now
the Proper wheat is no better than
improper wheat. A son of Proper
had the forethought to preserve a
quantity of wheat harvested from
the original crops. He has a lot on
hand that is now rs years old,
which he is planting. Will it ger
inmate Notwithstanding its ad-
vanced age? Why not? Egyptian
grain, entombed for 1000 years in
the wrappings of a mummy, yield
ed abundantly when planted where
the waters of the Nile reached it.

POWER OF RADIUM
Catch Scientist Refuses to Take
Chances With Substance Not
Thoroughly Analysed.

In some experiments which Prof.
in Soddy was showing to his class
If Glasgow students with radium
smsnation he carefully corked up
Ae flask containing the gas with the
remark that the emanations' physio-
ogical effects were imperfectly in
veStigated, and certainly potent, and
that he had no personal wish to in
Ve8tgate them.
The amount of gaseous emana-
hon with which he was experiment.
Ing was 50 small that it would have
required thirty times as much to fill
bubble the size of a pinhead-or
one cubic millimeter. He added
that if instead of the thirtieth part
Of pinhead full we could obtain a
pint Of this gas-and to obtain such
quantity half ton of pure radi-
um would be required-it would ra-
date the energy of a hundred pow
Gful arc amps. Indeed, as Ruther-
ford has said, no vessel would hold it
and such a quantity would instantly
melt and dispel in vapor any mate

MADE TO SHOW HORSES GAIT
claim OF Californian to Be the OrioI-
nator OF Moving Pictures Seems
Substantlated.

Probably the man who can claim
the greatest credit for moving pic
lures is Edward Muybridge of Oak
land, CAL, who, at the instigation of
Governor Leland Stanford of Cali
fornia made countless pictures of
the governors celebrated trotter Oc-
cldent, the first horse to trot a
mile in 2:20 west of the Rocky
mountains.
Occident was the pride of the
governors heart, and he engaged
Muybridge to photograph him in ev-
cry conceivable size and shape. In
making a series of snapshots of the
horses action, Muybridge was en-
abled to show the exact motion.
In order to satisfy the governor,
he thought of a novel scheme of
placing number of cameras cov-
ering at least one-tenth of a mile.
FROM tneSe cameras he stretched
threads across the track at about
the height of the trotter's knees.
These threads being broken, each
camera made a separate, distinct
picture of the horse, and by putting
them together and riffiing from the
thumb, the horse could be seen in
actual motion.
In 1885 Muybridge sailed for
England, and there, in connection
with six or seven others, evolved the
first moving picture camera. In
about 1886 some of these cameras
reached America.-Popular Mechan-

they are in a thrifty condition,

This conclusively demonstrates
the fact of the water being fresh

ing the we'll is from a subterra-
mean source not known and the
flow at the outlet on Beaver
creek measures 125 miners inch

vary in depth during the seasons
and is highly charged with lime.

posed to the air soon ossifes, and

PRESIDENT SANGU!NE
 OF PEACEFUL ENDING
Chances for Amicable Settlement With Germany Improved, It Is Said
 President feels Encouraged

Washington, June 14.-President Wilson feels encouraged by reports that the negotiations between Germa- ny and the United States will have a peaceful outcome.
 Those who have discussed the sit ,uation with the president recently say he believes the chances for an amica- ble understanding with Germany are much better than at any time since the Lusitania tragedy.
 This feeling is based on both off cial and unofficial reports from Der lin.
 The president does not plan to send to send another note to Great Britain protesting against the interference with commerce between the United States and neutral countries of Eu- rope until the discussion with Ger many has taken more definite form. This does not necessarily mean he will wait until reply is received from Germany.
 Col. H Ouse Should Help.
 Col. E. M. House, the presidents friend, who arrived in New York from Europe yesterday, is expected to give the president much valuable informa- tion concerning the sentiment in Ger many and about the possibility of ob-- taining a qualification by Great Brita- in and France of their blockade opera tions affecting neutral commerce.
