PREPARE ON BOTH SIDES
FOR POSSIBLE HOSTILITY
Battery Of New Mexico National
Guard Crosses Into Texas to Take
Station at Fort Bliss.
TO PROTECT ALL NIExICANs
General Bell Warns Persons In FL
Paso to Stay on Streets In Event
Of Trouble-Pershing Believed
Able to Protect Himself.

Ell PASO, TEX, June 1S.-Apparent
preparations were being made on both
| sides of the international border here
| tonight for possible hostility. The
Juarez garrison was re-enforced by
the arrival OF about 100 troops from
Chihuahua City, while Battery A, of the
New Mexico National Guard, 40 men,
and four three-inch field guns and the
First Battalion OF the Twentieth In
fantry arrived from Columbus, N. NJ,
to take station at Fort Bliss, Tex. on
the outskirts of Ell Paso. The battery
is the first OF the State organizations
to cross into another State for duty.
General Bell announced tonight that
In any erentuality the fullest pos
sible protection would be afforded to
all lawabiding Mextcais on tho Amer
lean side of the frontier. The an
nouncement did much to quiet the fears
expressed by the large Mexican popu-
lation of the city
General Bell also reiterated q pub-
lie warning to all persons in Eel Paso
to stay off the streets in the event
Of trouble.
Added precautions were taken to-day
to prevent the smuggling of ammuni-
ton across the Mexican line after the
arrest at the International Bridge of
Luis Correr. charged with attempting
TO take $500 rounds of small arms
across the boundary in motor cars.
Correr declined to discuss his case. A
heavily loaded passenger train arrived
from Chihuahua City to-day carrying
two of the seven Americans who were
left there and 1000 Mexican refugees
from Torreon. In accord with orders
received to-day from General Obregon
in Mexico City, none Of the Mexicans
was permitted to cross the America n
frontier.
FCRoRE OF EXCITEMENT
THROUGHOUT MEXICo
Reports from various towns in Chi
huahua and Sonora indicated that cit :
izens generally are being armed. and
that furore Of anticipatory excite
ment prevails throughout Northern
IeXico. On the Mexican side of the
river tonight only thirty-four men
turned out for the citizens military
drill as compared to threescore yes
tcrday.
Military men here continued 10 ex-
press confidence in the ability of Gem
eral Pershing's command to protect 1t
self In any emergency, even thoug n
private dispatches quoted the e1pe-
dictionary commander as admitting thai
the situation is very tense. It was
pointed out that General Pershing is
prepared to send columns in any direc-
tion from his line. despite General
iacinto Trevino's recent ultimatum, IL
ne considers his tanks imperiled. The
dispatches said also that heavy guards
nave been thrown about all American
camps In Mexico and the temporary

How Water Freezes,

1t used to puzzle all thinking people
why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond certain depth. This depends
on a most curious fact-namely, that
water is at it's heaviest when it reach
es 40 degrees F.-that is, degrees
above freezing point. On a frosty
night as each top layer of water falls
to 40 degrees it sinks to the bottom.
Therefore the whole pond has to drop
to 40 degrees before any of it can
freeze. At last it is all cooled to this
point, and then ice begins to form.
But ice is a very bad conductor of
heat. Therefore it shuts off the freez-
ing air from the big body of compare
lively warm water underneath. The
thicker it gets the more perfectly does
it act as a great coat, and that is why
even the Arctic ocean never freezes be-
yond a few feet in thickness.

Lost Skill of Ancients.

From the earliest periods of which
we have historical records one of
mans greatest problems has been to
lift heavy loads rapidly and efficiently.
Some of the greatest monuments Of
antiquity were built under conditions
that involved lifting of heavy pieces of
building material to great heights, but
how it was done we do not know to
this day. The manner in which the
great stones were raised in Egypt has
always been a mystery and probably
always will be. 1t is certain, however.
that the builders Of these wonderful
monuments were possessed of mechan-
zeal contrivances that were lost in the
dark ages intervening between their
time and ours or they possessed pa
tience to more remarkable degree
than is exhibited in any race of men
at the present time.-Engineering Mag.

Pixies Peaks cyclopsanM Eve.

- - tsSesss - ~ o.
A writer in the Technical World
Magazine, describing the immense
light on Pixies peak, says:
THE venerable head of that most IA
nous OF mountains, Pixies peak, has
been given an enormous eye. In Den
yer, seventy-fve miles away, this eve
can be seen flashing to and fro on
clear nights, and in Colorado Springs
fifteen miles away, the Company on
the front porch is likely to be shown
up In bright light at any moment by
the cog railways searchlight.
The giant light is 14,172 feet above
sea level and is capable of flashing
signals over most Of central Colorado.
1t has been placed on platform twen-
ty-five feet above the summit house.
Current is supplied by the turbines
that convert the power of the peak
streams into electricity. The search
light Is attached to a semaphore that
the operator moves at will. searching
out the dark beauty spots throughout
the region or touching upon sections of
Colorado Springs and even Denver and
Pueblo when the great banks of cloud
do not blanket the cities far below"

Unique Colony.

Close by the great rock Of Gibraltar
is Catlin bay, where is to be found
colony so queer that it stands out al
most as tribe distinct in itself. Many
generations ago during storm fleet
of Genoese fishermen put into the shell
tered spot and so escaped the fury or
the sea. In the boats, so history mas
it. were many women. and they be-
came so enamorcd of the spot that
huts were built, and they remained.
Hundreds of years have passed, ana
the little tribe still fingers on. Inc
government has given them grant OF
land. and village now clusters In the
shelter of the bay. Strangest of all, II
is said the population dare not increase
for fear it will overstep its boundary
and marriage Is allowed only In rota-
ton. No marriage, so it is claimed
NAV take place in the village until q
wav has been made for it by death.
The people are squat and ugly and LOOK
amazingly like one another. 1t Is a
little colony of cousins, dwelling apart
in the shadow of great rock ana 60

e. c. Blanchard Dies Suddenly

The community received a severe
shock when the people learned of the
death by heart disease of Mr.. Blan-
chard. He had been i'll only during
Saturday but his condition was not
considered serious.
Edwin Clarence Blanchard was the
son of DR.. David and Mary Blanchard
and was born in Concord March %.
1868, and hence was in his 54th wear.
lie moved to Newport in 1873. His
education was received in the public
schools and in st. Johnsbury acad-
envy. In 1889 he married Harriet J +.
Camp and to them were born three
children, Philip c., Doris and Chris
tine. In 1904 he represented the
town of Newport, and was elected
senator from Orleans county in 1912.
He has been a hardware merchant
and conducted an insurance business
with G. F. Root, but his business of
late has been real estate interests in
the Canadian Northwest. He was
director of the Orleans Trust COM
pany and prominent in all municipal
affairs and was also a member of
the Congregational church to which
he contributed generously of time
and money.
His death was untimely and the
entire community mourn his loss. He
is survived by his immediate family
and by two brothers, Henry c., and
w. Herbert of Newport.
The funeral was held Tuesday at
his late home.

Underpaid Postage.

Insufficient postage on letters is a
serious handicap to American business
abroad, reports our acting vice consul
at Genoa, Italy. A letter from the
United States to Italy bearing a two
cent stamp entails upon the recipient
q payment of at least 6 cents as a
penalty. ''The poor impression upon
Italian firms created by short paid let
ters,' says the report, becomes, final
ly. by repetition, very great. Special
care in affixing the proper postage
would bring ample returns by remov.
ing a cause Of complaint which has eX'
erted an unfavorable influence in for
eign business"
