Power from Volcanic Steam.

In 1905 Prince Ginori Conti general director of the Larderello works at Larderello, Italy, decided to experi- ment with the natural steam springs of Larderello for obtaining motive power. His experiments we're so sue cessful that the company built large power station at Larderello with three
 units of 2,500 kilowatts each. The work, says The Illustrated London News, was begun In 1914, but was de layed by the European war. The first unit was started in 1916 and the pow CT station was completed in the same year. Four overhead lines at S6.OO0 volts carry electric current to Siena. Leghorn, Piombina and Massa. The holes bored to the natural steam pock- cts which vary in depth from 19S feet to 495 feet. are lined with iron tubing sixteen inches in diameter. The steam is cleared of gas before it is carried to the turbine generators

cIemenceau and Heaven.

The latest Clemenceau anecdote that Is going the rounds of the boulevards is to the effect that the premier was annoyed because tree in the neigh boring garden overshadowed his. The tree was the property of some Jesuit fathers. on whom M. Clemenceau called, politely explaining that his at titude 10 the church was unchanged, but he would regard it as a personal favor if the Jesuit fathers would cut down the tree. "because 1t prevents me from seeing the heavens" The Jesuit father who received him was very courteous and was much fiattered by the premier's call. He promised that the offending tree should be speedily removed, but he added, with the suave smile of the ecclesiastic: T am afraid M fe Premier that. just the same, vou will not see heaven.

LOOKED LIKE SURE TROUBLE
Little Wonder Courtroom Was in Pan ic Over coIored Woman's Spectac-
 uiar Appearance.

During a trial of oolored man in the criminal court recently on a charge of murder, there was consid- erable nervous tension in the court room, the result of, remarks that had been made that some one was "g0ing to start something" regardless of the outcome of the case. The courtroom was crowded to capacity, and several police officers were stationed about the room.
 At an impressive moment, while the defendant was on the witness stand, commotion was heard at one of the courtroom doors. Into. the midst of the nervous spectators walked a large colored woman who carried in one hand a formidable-looking rife. Policemen and detectives seized her and rushed her into an outside room. where they began examining the weapon. It was not loaded. She ex- plained that she had been in juvenile court in case in which the rifle had been used as evidence.
 Before going home, she said, she decided to hear some of the evidence in the murder case She and her rife were sent out of the building, and the murder trial was resumed. .-Indianapo. lis News.

w. D. RHODES

The subject of this sketch, w. D. Rhodes, was born in Nevada county Nov. 9, 1872 and departed this life April 9, 1920. He professed faith in Christ in 1908 and was baptized into the fellowship of the Mt. Zion church by Bro. E. B. Jones, since which time he lived consistent Christian life.
 He leaves wife and nine children, five sons and four daughters: Frank, Floyd, Olen, Herbert, Dewey, Mrs. c. w. Brandon, Emma, Nora and Veva. A host of friends mourn his untime- ly death. At the time of his death Bro Rhodes was member of the First Baptist church of Rosston. His death is recognized as great loss to family, church and community. As a citizen he had no superior, for he was ever ready to lend helping hand to any worthy cause; as husband he was considerate, as a father, tender and affectionate; as friend, faithful and true.
 We extend to the bereaved family our deepest sympathy and pray that this dispensation of Gods providence may redown to the glory of God, and the good of the family and entire neighborhood.
