How Comets Can Carry Live Germs.

Scientists now declare that comets
carry live disease germs. They further
state that 1t is possible for these
germs to travel to earth from other
worlds on the tails of comets.
This is not so extraordinary as II
may seem. II we examine the facts.
What is a comet? Scientists tell
us that most comets are pieces Of 9TH
er planets which have been rent
asunder by some unknown cause. We
are further told that these comets
may contain innumerable millions of
the germs which lie In all kinds of
elements, and that microbes can re-
main inactive but alive for long
periods of time.
1t is possible for germs to be whIrled
through space in a comet, and, under
favorable conditions, to attack human
beings and animals after reaching our
atmosphere.

How Old ls Muslc7

No one could answer this question.
Man has made music Of kind prob
ably since he first discovered that two
solid substances brought in sudden
contact made a noise. The drum was
probably the first instrument, and then
some kind Of flute or whistle. Ancient
Greece had scale Of nores similar to
those Of today, and the first school
Of singing that we know anything
about, was founded by Pope Sylvester,
A. D. $50. Music has developed with
religion. The church has done more
to foster love for music than any
other institution. We cannot here go
into the general history of the art.
There are many excellent volumes on
the subject which may be obtained at
small expense.

MUST YIELD PART TO CROWN
How the British Law Deals With the
Finder Of What 10 Known az
Treasure-Trove.

Treasure-troye Is money, plate, bull
lion, coin, gold or silver, found hid
den In the earth or other private place,
the owner being unknown. According
to Roman law, treasure found by a
man In his own land belonged to the
finder; IL found In the land of an
other, half was given to the owner of
the land and half to the finder. In
Great Britain treasure-trove belongs
to the Crown, and concealment by the
finder Is an indictable offense. The
Crown, however, Is In the practice of
paying to the finder the value Of the
property upon its being delivered up.
In 1886 the home Office Of the British
government gave notice that the find-
ers of treasure would be permitted to
retain articles not required for any
national institution, subsequent to
deduction of ten per cent; articles
required for museums, ETC., are paid
for at their antiquarian value. less
20 per cent. The civil code OF the
province of Quebec, which Is largely
based on the old French law, follows
the rule of the Roman law upon this
point. Article $50 says: 'The owner
ship of a treasure rests with him who
finds 1t In his property; If he finds 1t
in the property of another, 1t belongs
half to him. and the other half to the
owner of the property. A treasure is
any buried or hidden thing OF which
no one can prove himself the owner
and which Is discovered by chance"

THE SHOOTING
OF NELSON


The Silver State dislikes bringing
out facts that will cause hatred and
hard feeling, at this time, when Con-
stable Nelson, one of Gods noblemen
II there ever was one. lies on what
may be his deathbed. II prayers of
every right thinking citizen are to
avail, however, he will be spared for
great work he has started.
But regardless of the harshness OF
the facts to be here printed, We be-
lieve the time has come when the peo-
pie should be informed of the truth,
II for no other reason than in justice
to Nelson. 1t could be postponed for
few days, until his condition is
better determined, and In case of
death many heart-aches might be
saved. But the time to strike at
these injustices is at the time they
are perpetrated, when they are fresh
in the minds of the people.
Yesterday morning some of the
most untrue. unkind, uncalled-for and
despicable stories ever heard were
spread about town systematically.
calculated to throw Nelson and his
deputy, Hickam, In bad light. In
other words, people, Nelson's misfor
tune was taken advantage Of in an
effort to mould public opinion against
him. propaganda" being used for the
purpose. BY propaganda" we mean
stories started from a given point,
gaining momentum as they are passed
from mouth to mouth, and consequent
exaggeration Of stories repeated In
that fashion.
AS this writer was on his way to
work yesterday morning he was
informed of the terrible fact that Mel
son had been shot, and all day long
good people stopped into this print
shop to protest against the stories |
spread-the injustice of them, the un-
kindness in Nelson's hour of trial
the baseness of the men spreading
the tales.
These stories. to be brutality frank,
were that Nelson was fool to do his
duty, that he was incapable of prop
erly attending to his duties, and so
on. Effort was made to show Hickam
a coward for not going with Nelson
to make the arrest-in fact one poor
deluded fool made the direct state
ment that the incident showed Hickam
was not the man for the place. One
citizen who had mind enough of his
own to see how matters were run
ming. stopped In to report the partic-
ular activities of a certain active man
who was busily engaged spreading
the word" AS we said to this man,
the idea occurred to go to the man
said to have been particularly active
in spreading this destructive "propa-
ganda," let him tell his story, and in
this editorial quote him word for
word, and mention his name. Cooler
judgment dictated the situation has
not reached the point for such drastic
action-we believe the people will see
sooner or later without inviting law
suit which might put The Silver State
out of business because of lack of
money. However, we serve notice
right here and now that If the situa-
ton ever does seem to warrant such
action we will not be averse nor will
we hesitate for one moment to print
names and facts regardless of conse-
Quences. Is that plain?
The sad part to relate is that there

TONS OF PEAT ARE CUT
DAILY BY NEW MACHINE
A new machine built on the end
less track principle, designed es-
pecially for the purpose Of exca-
waiting peat, conveys some idea
of the proportions to which this
industry has grown.
The excavator proper consists
of worm conveyor having cut
ting edges on the cupboard end.
This unit digs to maximum
depth of seven feet, conveying
the mass to a macerator, where
1t Is ground and churned to
paste. The operation Is continu-
Gus. the paste next being dis
charged upon the ground and
spread In a uniform layer, about
10 feet wide by feet thick, by
spreader, which also cuts II
into narrow ribbons. Another
machine then cuts these into
easily-handled briquettes, says
an article in Popular Mechanics.
After a preliminary drying the
briquettes are arranged in wind
rows that the drying process
may be completed. The excava-
tor is powered by gasoline en-
CINE and Is completely self-con-
tanned and self-moving. The ex-
IRENE width of the tread en-
ables the heavy machine to trav-
ell easily over the soft, marshy
ground where 1t would be impos-
sible. to move wheeled vehicle.
Engineers of the bureau of
mines, University of Minnesota,
are authority for the statement
that there are sufficient peat de-
poslts In sight to supply all the
fuel requirements of the state for
hundreds of years at the pres
ent consumption rate.

The program for Farmers, Week at the University of Ariz- ona, January 17th to 22d, 1921, is rapidly taking definite form, and this year there will be of fered for the benefit of the public specialties by men of not only national but international fame. One of the most note worthy of these is MT. Vic Happier, Sydney, Austrelia, who will present the subject "How Scientific Methods have improved Australian Poultry Production"
 MT. Happier is in the United States as a representative of the, National Utility Poultry Pro ducers' Association of Australia with the purpose of studying the marketing conditions in the United States and the possibil- ity of competing with Austral- ian eggs the Chinese eggs now being shipped to the United State
 Few people realize the inn portance of Australia as a pro- ducer of agricultural products, especially poultry. Australia has conducted egg-laying com petitions for twenty-two years. whereas egg-laying contests in the United States have been conducted for only ten years. In Australia, to win a competi- t1on it is necessary for a hen to produce in the neighborhood of two hundred and seventy-fve eggs a year.
