TALLEST STACK
IN THE WORLD
tBy Associated Press.)

tBy Associated Press.)
TOXIC, Dec. 22.-Japan will have
the tallest chimney in the world.
Down on the east coast of Kyushu
in the little village of Saginasaki, is
miles from Beppu, the great stack,
which when completed will be twelve
feet higher than the Washington
monument, is gradually building
under the superintendent of Ameri-
can engineers and when finished Will
reach 567 feet up in the sky.
This towering pile is being con-
structed for the Kuhara Mining COM
pany, which is building new
copper smelter.
The foundation is placed on the
top of hill which rises 430 feet
above the level of the sea. From
the seaside, counting the altitude of
the cliff, there will be an almost
straight rise of about 1000 feet to
the summit Of the stack. The con-
struction of the chimney has been
planned with view of giving it
special qualities to resist earthquakes.
The chimney is now little past the
300 foot mark and is expected to be
completed by January l. The present
highest chimney in the world is at
Great Falls, Montana, at smelter
works. Its height is said to be SOC
feet. as against the 555 of the Wash.

Judge C. c. Goodwin, in the Christ
mas number of Goodwin's Weekly,
has visions of direct railroad line
to connect Salt Lake City with Tono-
pah, bringing these cities within six
teen hours travel. This may be
accomplished, according to the judge,
who is one of the best posted men
on Nevada affairs, by construction OF
the Deep Greek railroad from its
proposed terminus through to Ely
and across the eastern part OF Nye
county. The article follows:
Salt Lake Is growing very rapidly.
II It is to continue at the same pace,
there will have to be new sources Of
revenue found, for the city cannot
grow merely on its own growth. This
journal has often pointed out source
OF revenue, which, If utilized, would
itself be sufficient to build up great
city We refer to railroad from
here to Deep Creek and thence to
Ely. 1t would not come in competi-
ton with any other road, the business
il would supply would be new bust
ness. Now, II our men Of capital
would club together and raise and
invest In that enterprise as much
money as either the Newhouse struc-
ture has cost, that amount would
drive the road to a point where it
would begin to have such a revenue
that bonds to continue it would sell
at par.
The road would command Gold
Hill, Clifton and Weber mining dis
tricts. What they would supply to a
railroad Mr. Mcvichie can explain
much more clearly than we can. He
says there are millions Of tons of
ore. worthless now. but which with
a railroad would be transformed and
yield up trainload OF ore per day
the first year. which would be vastly
increased the following years. Con

Some Curious Customs Of a Race Ths,
Will Soon Be Extinct.


The aborigines of Queensland are
fast fading away, and In view of the
fact that this race will soon be extinct
an examination of their social customs
Is interesting.
The death bone or bone apparatus,
with its supposed property Of produc-
ing death, Is one of the most dreaded
and universal superstitions among the
natives Of the Queensland interior.
The apparatus consists Of pointer
connected by string with an elongated
cylindrical receptacle. The pointer.
three to FIVE inches long, is made from
a human forearm bone, the string Is
made from human hair. and the recep-
tacle. which incloses the victims life
blood. Is fashioned from shin bone
The medicine man" Of the tribe uses
the weapon by aiming the pointer at
the person selected for punishment.
One OF the most curious of the abo.
riginal weapons Is the "whirler," or
"bull roarer." 1t Is made of q fat
tened piece OF gidyea timber cut into
spindle shape. into one extremity of
which hole Ia drilled with sharp.
ened emu bone. BY means Of the aper
ture this whirler Is attached to a piece
of string fixed at the end OF small
stick. Revolving rapidly. the whirlel
gives out roaring sound.--LondoI

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.--Seldom If

such sensational change from ex-
IRENE strength to weakness verging
on decentralization as that which
