 And so the aged father and mother spent that week in Boston, feeling that all the wonderful display of patriotism and honor was as much for their son as for the others.
 They were tenderly cared for by those who knew them. Captain Lang, who went with the other Prescott vet erans, came around one morning to Aaron Treadwell's room.

 Aaron Treadwell and his wife were delighted Everything connected with tine civil war had come to possess q vital interest to them.
 Suddenly the old man fell to the floor in a faint. They picked him up ten derly and carried him into one of the rooms of the Loyal Legion. Mary Treadwen bathed his head, trying to keep back the tears, and with restOra tives he was soon revived.

sands.ones Are Porous.

The moro porous beds of sand au;; gravel along stream valleys, fake shores and the coast absorb very Ia"S amounts of water Next to these un, consolidated deposits the rocks capa- ble of direct absorption are sandstoneS and certain porous Hmestones. The ab. sOrption hy granites, slates and other massive rocks is relatively slight. ac. cording to the United States geological survey, department of the interior. A cubic foot of sand will absorb on an average about ten quarts of water, and certain porous sandstones will absOfh two to six quarts. While there Is no definite lower limit to the penetration of water, it is probable that little sur :ace water penetrates more than three miles below the surface, and most of the pores and crevices in rocks are closed below the depth of a few hun dred feet-Geologica Survey Bulletin

SPECIAL GRAND
 JURY SESSION
 PLANFO FORMING

1 Special grand jury and federal court sessions will probably be held in Phoe-
 nix some time during Jury or August to dispose of the Molokan and other
 stacker cases. according to d state ment issued yesterday by Assistant United States District Attorney J. H.
 Langston. 4 total of 42 "slackers" are now being held under bonds to answer 1 t0 the court.
 Attorney Langston is anxious that
 stacker" cases be disposed of at the earliest possible-date so that the ends of justice can be served. It is pointed out that in other sections of the country.
 no time has been lost in trying cases Of d similar nature
 It is hoped that Judge SawteIle the regular jurist of the Phoenix federal court district, will be ayailab ble to hoo court in these cases some time within the next month or so. While nothing of a definite nature has vet been heard from Judge Sawtelle, it is the opinion
 of Attorney Langston that some ar
 engagement can be made whereby a spe cial session of the court will be held
 It has about been determined to hold q special grand jury session preceding the court session. In other words. At torney Langston has deemed it advis-
 able to return indictments against the persons in preference to taking them into court on information. Inasmuch as failure to register under the selective draft constituted a misdemeanor rather
 than a felony it would not be necessary to return indictments against the men before arraigning them in court.

DEVICE
 GIVEN NOT|CE

That the government is taking a deep interest in the device of Harry J. Bennett of this city for the taking of torpedoes, a partial description of which has been printed by The Re publican, is indicated by letter re- ceived by him from the navy depart ment requesting him to make no showing of drawings or detailed de- scriptions of the device.
 The letter was sent soon after the receipt by the department of the specifications and drawings prepared by L. G. Knipe who is associated with MT Bennett.
 But before the receipt of the letter. MT. Bennett had shown a photo- graph of the drawings to a noted Australian engineer who is now in the city and at his request sent a copy of the specifications and the draw ings to Sir Edward Carson, chief of the British admiralty The Australian concurred in the opinion of MT. Bennett that the application of the device to vessels would render them practically immune to torpedo attacks.
