CFrom Saturdav's Daily.

The Russian MolokanS who were sent up from Glendale several months ago for refusing 10 register, had q closeup session with the great spirit last Saturday night, and as a result of a message given them in the vision they have laid off eating until fur thcr notice.
 Just why the great spirit command ed them to cease eating thc leaders of the Russians refuse to state. but the jail authorities say that none oi the men have taken any food or drinK since that time, and that as a result of their fasting, the prisoners are be- ginning to show signs of weakness.
 Ever since they have been confined in the county jail here, the Russians have refused to cat any food which was cooked by anyone but the mem bcrs of their own band, and Sheriff Young had allowed several Of the prisoners 10 go out each day and cool, up the food for the fanatics in thciI own peculiar fashion If the food or vessels in which it was cooked were SO much as touched by one of the other attaches of the jail, the food was rendered unfit for consumption, and was thrown away.
 The leaders informed Sheriff Young that in all probability the great spirit would issue the command to eat again within few days

sometimes to develop absurdities in a
mans nature which no one else would

Sometimes a man will do things
that are not really absurd. but only

THE SPEED OF SHIPS.
influence Of the Depth Of Water ard
the "Wavs Of Translation"


On first thought the seas depth
seems of little importance IL the ship
Hnds depth enough to give her an easy
draft. II she can run free apparently
II makes little difference whether she
has six feet or 900 feet between her
ence is. however, erroneous, for the
depth exercises an important influence.
The British cruisers Blake and Blen-
helm were expected to run twenty one
knots. but actually ran two knots less
in shallow water. They ran again I'M
der the same power. but the depth
was between 1876 and 1876 feet. and
their speed was twenty-five knots, one
knot in excess Of the maximum cal
culation.
The difference In speed is attributed
to the influence of the wave of trans
lation" displaced by the ship as she
moves forward, which acts as a brake.
The nearer the ships keel to the bot
tom the stronger the friction. A ship
drawing twenty seven feet Of water
say ship of 1900 tonnage-feels
that friction over a depth Of $50 feet.
According to some calculations, the
dragging influence ceases to be felt
at depth equal to ten and one-half
times the draft II the ship stands high
out OF the water.
A curious feature of the matter Is
that the speed of the ship is as impor-
tant an element as the depth of the
water-that is to say, the influence of
the depth on the ships speed is more
Or less powerful In proportion as the
speed is great. A ship increases her
speed more readily over deep water;
but, on the other hand, the faster a
ship runs the more depth of water she
requires to prevent the hindrance
caused by the dragging influence Of
the friction which is always felt when
the ships keel senses" bottom
Running ten knots an hour, a ship
must have between twenty-six and
twenty -seven feet Of depth or she is
dragged from below Ii running
twenty knots she needs a depth Of 1O4
to 1O5 feet, and when running thirty
knots she feels the drag over a depth
of nearly 324 feet.-Exchange

In Various Ways.
Dr. X. II. Williams. animal husband
ryman. University of Arizona agricul-
tural experiment station, believes that
every farmer should keep a small flock
of sheep. They cost little for feed, for
they act as weed scavengers and grow
into marketable products at an early
age. Small fiocks upon every irrigated
farm will become more popular, for 1t
IL on such farms that maximum re-
suits may be obtained In the projects.
There are also many waste places on
farms which may be utilized for sheep
production. Another advantage Of
sheep In that they require little labor.
They come as near solving the hired
help problem" az any other kind of
mixed farming Lambs milk the ewes
at somewhat regular intervals, and
they separate the milk and store away
the product without the use of cans or
refrigeration. When farmer sees a
bulge on his side OF the market the
kind hearted and industrious lambs are
asked to trot to market. carrying all
the milk and worry with them. 1t liz

GROWING OF SoRoHUM2
Contrary TO Common Belief. They Iss~s

Contrary to Common Belief, They Lss~s
No Toxic Substances In the Sell.
That the growing Of sorghuIns. con-
trary 10 common belief, leaves no poi
sonous or toxic substances In the soil
is the belief Of X. l. Throckmorton. as
sociate professor OF agronomy In the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
I'm the past" said Mr.. Throckmor
ton. 1T has been generally believed
that the growing Of sorghums, espe-
cially Kafr. left poisonous or toxic
substances In the soil. which were In
furious to following crops Recent ex-
periments. however. have failed to
show the presence OF any such sub
stances.
1T In now thought that the particu-
lar manner Of growth Of these offend
ing sorghums is the cause Of the injury
TO the succeeding crops. The sorghums,
which include the Kafirs. are planted,
MS a rule, in June as forage crop.
Thus they make their growth during
the summer and early fall. This usu-
ally IL the driest part Of the year. The
sorghum will withstand protracted
drought. starting vigorous growth as
soon as the moisture comes, whereas
the ordinary plant would be so weak
ened that II would take only a small
amount OF moisture II any at all. II
there is but little moisture present the
plant is so constituted that IL will
make limited growth and live. IL, on
the other hand. a large amount Of
moisture IL present the plant is capable
OF using large quantities The root
system Is large and fibrous, fitting the
plant for taking large quantities Of
moisture from the SOIL
While sorghums do not use more
plant food and moisture In their growth
than corn, they take 1t at a time Of
year when little more can be made
available before the return Of warm
weather and spring rains.
With these facts In mind 1t would not
be advisable to follow sorghums with a
fall crop such as wheat. Some rela-
lively late planted crop had best be
chosen to follow sorghum. Corn or
some other intertilled crop that Is not
planted too early would be best. This
allows for spring rains warmth and
sunshine to get In their work before
the new crop needs the plant food and
moisture. Ii some method ID pursued
such as the one cited there should be
little Ill effect because of the preceding
sorghum crop.

Bees In the Orchard.

The idea that bees do harm In an or

cation made at Florence. Italy. The
bees cannot perforate the skin of the
fruit and the damage is due to hor-
nets, wild birds. wind or hail. BY
sucking injured fruit the bees really
prevent fermentation and the spread
ing Of rot. They also render service In
