OItlclaieS Lose latte
Sheriff Felipe Lucero and James
Baird, treasurer Of Otero county
are losers Of about 10 head of ne
graded cattle stolen from their
ranches less than ten days ago
and of which they have lost the
trail and have no knowledge Of
their whereabouts. A rider for
G.. T. Turney discovered that the
Turney range fence had been cut
and a body of cattle driven tn
rough from the head Of San An
dres canyon, and across the Tur-
ney ranch to the tornado del
Muerte. Alarm was given and
the sheriff and his men and some
Of Baird S men started on the
trail which was well defined and
easily followed until when at
some diStancv out on the lorna
do Del Muerte, Journey of
Death), a heavy rain with driv-
ing wind behind it washed out
every vestige of the trail made by
the foot prints # the cattle and
of the horses ridden by the men
who drove the cattle and the
chance of %overtaking the thieves
seems to have gone with the lost
trail. Searching has gone stead
lily on for the past week with no
results whatever, and it seems as
if the getaway of the outlaws
ahd their booty is complete. On
the vast plain Of tornado there is
every chance for them to escape
and to drive the cattle across to
Mexico before they may be ap-
pretended.
1t was thought last week that
the cattle were south of Elephant
Butte and would be overtaken
but they were not there and it
seems will not be found this side
of Mexico. They could not be
shipped and leave no trace, and
could hardly be sold enroute with
out the sale becoming known.
The cattle were in prime condi-
ton and may number as many as
fifty. The search will be contin-
ued with the hope of finding the
if not the thieves.-Las

The Coolest Air Blows High Up Above

Winds blow not merely along the

Professor Alexander McAdie Of Har.
ward In an article in the Geographical

experiments in the upper air performed
BY sounding balloons. The atmosphere
has, roughly. two layers, the lower
called the troposphere and the upper
the stratosphere. The strongest winds
are found just below the stratosphere,

Origin Of Satin.

The discovery of the principle of the
manufacture of satin was pure acct
dent The discovery was made by a
silk weaver named Octavio Mai. Dur
Ing dull period of business one day
he was pacing before his loom. not
knowing how to give new impulse to
his trade. AS he passed the machine
each time he pulled short threads from
the warp and, following an old habit,
put them into bis mouth and rolled
them about, soon after splitting them
upon the floor. Later he discovered a
little ball of silk upon the floor Of his
shop and was astonished at the bril-
Hancy Of the threads. he repeated the
experiment and eventually employed
various mucilaginous preparations and
succeeded in making satin.

THE MAKING OF TUNNELS.
An Industry That Is Almost a. Old 40
thu World Itsaf

While tunneling is among the most
ancient of enterprises. yet more prog.
resS has been made in it the last cen
which preceded it. 1t Is now known
that back in the semi-mythical days
of the Theban kings the long tunnel
into the mountain rock. expanding at
q distance of 400 feet or so into some
lofty chamber, was common work of
too. and Of India show that in certain
matters. at any rate, moderns may
still learn from ancients.
Then again in Algeria, Switzerland.
wherever the Romans went. are to
be found tunnels of all kinds and de-
signed for all purposes. for roads and
drains and water supplies. Pliny
makes mention Of one notable achieve.
ment. the greatest of its kind in his
day, the great tunnel constructed for
the drainage of Lake Fucino. 1t was
by far the longest artificial tunnel in
the world at that time. More than
three and a half miles long, it was
driven under Monte Salviano and re-
quired for its construction shafts Of
no less than 400 feet Some 10000
men were employed on it for eleven
years.
From the time Of the Romans until
the latter end Of the eighteenth cen.
fury no great advance was made In
tunneling methods. Old engra wings of
mining work in the early years Of the
seventeenth century show the pickax
or hammer and chisel as still the chief
tools employed. With the advent Of
the railway, however, tunneling be-
came one Of the grand necessities Of
construction. and progress was more
ranid

Force Of Habit.

The late Fl. Gassaway Davis, once a
United States senator and candidate
for vice president on the Parker ticket,
was a brakeman before he became a
millionaire and is said on one historic
occasion while sleeping soundly in the
senate chamber to have dreamed that
be was still guiding an unruly freight
train through the mountains of West
Virginia. The dream was inspired by
nearby colleague, Senator Allen G.
Thurman, who blew two mighty blasts
on his nose. Davis, thinking he had
heard the freight whistle. seized his
desk as if it were brake and nearly
twisted the thing from it's moorings be-
fore he came to.-New York Mail.

GAME IN THE ANTARCTIC.
Seal Steak Is Good, and So Are the
Breasts and Eggs Of Pensuins.


In the antarctic there Is not the i'm.
mense variety Of game which Is to be
found in north polar regions; but. on the
other hand. 1t is very abundant and
can be turned into food with the small.
est exertion. The Weddell seal. which
sometimes weighs as much as half a
ton, allows itself to be killed and cut
up with placid calm. Its natural en-
emies are in the water. and for long
genera tons it has been accustomed to
bask in the sun undisturbed.
Seal steak is an acquired taste, but
when acquired explorers prefer it to
timed provisions. 1t Is a common
assumption that seal flesh tastes of
train Oil. That Is a mistake; the flesh
itself contains no fat, but it is extreme.
" rich in blood, and in taste suggests
the Scottish delicacy known as black
pudding.
Penguins, too, make a very desirable
addition to the antarctic larder Epi-
cures eat only the breast, which Is
rather like hare. but Of a more delicate
favor. The eggs. which are very
abundant in the spring. suggest ducks
eggs, but are about four times as big
They are excellent eating If you hap

naturally something of lottery, and a
penguin egg can be very bad indeed
