Using Liquid Oxygen.

It has long been known that liquid
oxygen mixed with substances like cot.
ton wool forms a powerful explosive,
but serious difficulties were encoun.
tered in its practical use. A new
method has now been discovered for
handling this oxygen that makes it
practical for commercial use. Bags
are filed with a special form of lamp
black, which are soaked in the liquid
oxygen for few minutes Just before
they are required for use. II the bag
is now lighted with a match it will
burn quickly and very slowly, but If
detonated it explodes with the force
of dynamite, and the cost is much
less. Much less carbon monoxide is
given off than by most other explo-
sives, and there is no danger from a
misfire as the oxygen will evaporate
IN short time.

STRANGE DIET FOR CATTLE.

In Shetland and Iceland the farm
ers feed dry salt fish to cattle, sheep,
and even to horses. Mr.. Cecil Wood,
describing experiments of this ma
ture, mentions that certain special
cattle, kept for display at the vii
lage festivals in Nandyal, in India,
are fed with mutton, and adds that
it is a fairly common practice to
make use of bandicoots (large In
dian rats) by pounding them in a
mortar and feeding them to cattle.
In Mr.. Woods experiments two lots
of heifers were fed on dried fish diet
and normal diet respectively.
The animals took little time to
get used to the fish, but they ate it
readily enough.

MANY CABINETS IN FRANCE
Statesmen OF Almost Every Shade 81
Political Belief Have Held
Reins Of Power.

Forty-four years ago Louis
Adolphe Theirs became president OF
France, which nation formally en-
tered upon its third experiment with
a republican form of government.
Since then France has had nine pres
idents and no less than forty-nine
ministries-even more if unsuccess-
full attempts to form cabinets are to
be counted. French politics has
been in a constant state of turmoil
and has been subject to kaleidoscope
changes; ministries rising and fall
ing with bewildering rapidity. When
M. Rene Viviani was called upon by
President Poincare to form a new
cabinet few expected that he would
be successful where such political
veterans as Ribot and Doumergue
had failed. Not only did Viviani
bring order out of chaos which
threatened to engulf the Poincare
regime, but when the war began he
brought into his government the
leaders Of all the warning parties.
Threatened by foreign foe, the po-
litical turmoil in France, upon which
the Germans had counted so much,
was suddenly stilled, and France
was enabled to present united front
to the enemy.

EMERSON SCHOOL NOTES

Public school began at the Emerson
last Monday with an enrolment of
245. Attendance is on the increase
and the best of interest is apparent.
The school began two weeks earlier
than usual this year. This will allow
US to close in May next, before hot
weather. The school year will be
more evenly divided by the Christmas
holidays than formerly.
The school board has made some
very important improvements for the
school during the past vacation. The
school yard has been graded properly
and covered with gravel to such a
depth that we are to have dry ground
for the children this year.
Two new self-draining cement
floors in the basement of the school
building are also very much appre-
ciated.

JUDGE BAUGHN WILL MAKE
RACE FOR SUPREME JUDGE

Judge Otis ]. Baughn of the su-
eerior court of Pinal county, has
finally consented to become a candi-
date for Judge Of the state supreme
court on the republican ticket.
Judge Baughn had never considered
becoming a candidate for the office
until a boom for him was launched
at the republican state convention at
Prescott. Mention of his name there
for this Office was the occasion for a
demonstration. For long time after
the convention he fatty refused to en-
ter the race, but recently non-par-
tisan committee consisting of both
democrats and republicans, represent
ing Maricopa, Pinal, Pima and Co.
chise counties, took advantage of
Judge Baughn's absence in Nogales,
where he was holding court, to ac-
quaint the people of the state with
his splendid record as judge in Pinal
county and elsewhere AS result of
this movement, Judge Baughn was
deluged with letters from all parts of
the state asking him to make the
race.
Over his protest. petitions calling
for the nomination of Judge Baughn
for judge Of the supreme court were
circulated over the state. 1t was only
then that Judge Baughn gave the
matter serious consideration and
finally decided to leave the matter to
the people of Pinal county, where,
regardless of party affiliations, he is
very popular. He made an automo-
bile trip over the county into nearly
all of the precincts and found the SEN
timent to be unanimous in favor of
his making the race, when the people
Of his own county found that he would
not have to resign to become a candi-
date. Their only regret seemed to be
the strong chances of losing him from
the bench in Pinal county.
1t is generally predicted in Pinal
county that he will receive an almost
unanimous vote there.
Judge Baughn has many friends all
over the state who are pleased to
know that he had finally agreed to be-
come a candidate for Judge of the
supreme court at the November cleo
ton. Judge Baughn came to Ari-
iona from Kentucky. He is not yet
DO years of age, has splendid fam
lily and has already proved himself
to be an ideal jurist.
