Only Live okapi IN Captivity.

The only live okapi in captivity has
been brought to Antwerp from the
Congo. The okapi is the survivor of a
distant ancestor of the giraffe. An
adult stands about five feet high, and
although 1t has the general shape of
the giraffe, it's neck is relatively
shorter and it's forelegs are not so high
in proportion to the headquarters.
The sides OF the animals head. are
light fawn color and the general color
alton of the body is dark purple.
The most striking characteristic Is
that the rump, and the upper part of
the legs are transversely striped with
black and white. 1t was first known
In 1901, having been found in the
Semliki forest. haunting low under
growth and swamps.

Rice, An, erican Institute of Mining Engineers; David White, American Academy of Sciences; o. P. Hood, of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Ed .ucation; Arthur E. Holder, represent ing Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor; Char les D. Walcott, vice president of the Association, and David T. Day, secre- tary.
 The Association was created shortly after the death of Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, the creator of the Bureau of Mines and it's first director, and was in recognition of the memory of Dr. Holmes and the humanitarian work that he initiated.
 After organization, the Society agreed to award diplomas and medals of honor to persons in the mining and metallurgical industry for deeds of heroism or praiseworthy acts in eff forts for the rescue of imprisoned miners or persons in jeopardy and to give recognition in proper awards for persons who may device or put into use appliances for the benefit of greater safety or mine rescue or re- covery operations.

FUEL SAVED BY GOOD ROADS
Wear and Tear on Trucks and Amount Of Gasoline Consumed Shown In
 Recent Ohio Test

A test conducted In Ohio recently to determine the saving in gasoline from running over a good road as com pared with gas consumption over bad and medium-grade roads, disclosed surprising difference. Five new army standard "A" trucks with seven different types of road service, showed gain of six miles per gallon of fuel between the best and worst types of roads. All the trucks were empty dur ing the test.
 The trucks loaded showed that the poor road took seven times as much gasoline per mile as the good one.
 The test results showed an average of 5.7S miles per gallon over dirt road in good condition, 7.19 over fair gravel, 9.39 over good gravel, about the same over fair bituminous macad- am and good brick roads, 11.44 over extra smooth brick and 11.7S over good concrete.
 The saving to the motoring public in gasoline alone would amount to millions of dollars annually. Perhaps equal to this would be the saving in tires, which is considered as important an item of car upkeep as is gasoline. Calculating the saving in wear and tear on the mechanism of cars and trucks and also the item of time lost by poor roads, adequate highways are undoubtedly sane investment.

F|VElNEW MEASURES
 ON|N0VEMBER BALLOT .i|'jl

PHOENIX, July 3.HAt 10 o'clock Thursday night, within two hours of the expiration of the time when pe- titions for initiative or referred meas ures, to insure their appearance on the official ballot to be voted for by thepeople at the November election, could be filed, the following measures were found to have gained place:
 State highway commission bill; bill making important amendments to the game law; soldiers, sailors and mar ines civil service bill; bill increasing the salaries of teachers and many county and state officials; county di- vision bill.
 There will also be on the ballot two measures, proving constitutional amendments referred by the legisla- ture. One of these alters the consti- tuition with respect to the eligibility of members of the legislature for oth- CT elective offices by providing that members may be eligible for election to offices after the term of their leg islative service, though created by the legislature during the term of their service or the emoluments of which were increased during the term of their service. This amendment was suggested by the question which arose in the candidacy of Senator Colter for governor. Under the present consti- tuition, he would not have been eligi- ble to that office though the term of it would not have begun until after the expiration of his term as a mem- Der of the legislature.
 The other amendment changes the constitution with respect to the place of candidates for the tax commission on the official ballot. Under the con stitution now there is a pleasant fife. tion that the office of tax commits sioner is non-partisan. The amend ment would put the candidates under party designations.
 What is known as the Paradise Val ley irrigation bill failed of filing.

CULVERT Is EASILY CLEANED
Much Trouble obviated by Invention of Crate or Iron Bars, Resting
 in Notches.

Often culverts under roads and paths become clogged with debris and frequently give trouble because they cannot be readily cleaned. The de vice illustrated obviates all this diffl- culty. It consists of grate of iron bars supported by crosspieces which rest in notches or upon the surface of stonework or concrete, says Ameri- can Agriculturist. The bars and the crosspieces should be of heavy enough material to support any load that will be driven across the grating.

Notary Pubic.
 The forms of affidavits authorized on May are declared to be still ap- propriate in the case of silver wholly produced in the United States. Sug- gested forms for use as supporting affidavits in the case of mixed silver are being prepared, but as may be noted from the form of the affidavit shown, deliveries of mixed silver may be made after filing the preliminary affidavit subject to later filing of the necessary supporting affidavits and other proof.
 This new affidavit is the outcome of the conference between Govern ment officials and smelting compan- ies' representatives. It is a recogni- tion by the government, and at the same time welcome concession to the mining and smelting companies, that have encountered serious diff eulties in trying to separate their sil- yer product with respect to origin-as required by the government to insure beyond all question of doubt the do- mestic mining and refining of the silver. The modified affidavit should go far to facilitate the marketing of the silver produced in the United States at $1 an ounce.

HOW EHEsoSs M B s. z OF E

HOW PERSONS OF 'AAO" w B A L T H HAVE MADE AND LOST IM- MENSE FORTUNES.-In Amer ica, it is said, there are many men who have added a million or two dollars to their "pile" between breakfast and luncheon; and more who have sat down to their breakfasts able to write a check for a million, and have gone to bed without a dollar, remarks writer in London Answers.
 It is not long since Joseph Hoadley made 100000 in five minutes by the clock on the New York cotton exchange; and be- fore he sat down to his dinner he was fSOO,OO0 richer than when he cracked his morning egg. The late Hartman once made f4OO,0O0 at the rate of f5O,OOO minute; and on the same day one of his porters cleared f10,0OO. Theodore Price, few years ago, made f10O,000 in five minutes gambling in cot ton, and doubled his winnings before he went home. J. J. Livermore, who but a few years ago was office boy to a Boston broker, is credited with having added 100000 to his capital in less time than 1t takes a man to eat his breakfast; while dur ing a recent week Patten's profits on a speculation in maize totaled f4OO,OOO.
 And the losses are on an equally magnificent scale. Jo- seph Letter in one unhappy hour dropped fs2o,OoO through a 20 cent fall in the price of wheat; Jacob Astor and two of his friends lost f6OO,OOO between breakfast and luncheon; and a slump in Union Pacific cost a few millionaires, including J. J. Astor and MT. Goelet, the ap- palling sum of f1,SOO,OOO.

James D. Moore, another miner at the same fire, went through the m1ne attempting to bring the miners to the surface. After he had collected sev- e0 men, he was driven back by smoke and decided that the only hope would be to build bulkhead as protection against the gases and remaln behind it until rescued. Under his direction the bulkhead was erected, requiring five hours for completion aud inclos- ing the party of eight men. They ob- tained air from a compressed line nearby. With nothing to do out wait, Moore cheered the men and in the meantime wrote a farewell letter to his wife. Sixty hours after the com pletion of the bulkhead, rescurers wearing apparatus found the barri- cade and broke through and found six men alive and two dead, the latter in cluding Moore. The six men were brought safely to the surface; they all gave credit to Moore for saving their lives, since without his guidance and direction they would have been suffocated.
 The awards were decided upon by a committee of the Association, com posed of James w. Paul, representing the Mine Inspectors Institute of America; William Green, of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America; and John Turner of the Mine, Mill and
