STONES ABSORB WATER.

Stone is by no means impervious to water. Some kinds, notably coarse sandstones, hold a large percentage. Even marbles absorb considerable quantities. The absorptive capacity of limestones ranges from per cent or more down to practically zero. Porous limestones, in which the pore space ranges from 10 to 15 per cent, will absorb from to 6 per cent of water, according to the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, whereas semicrystalline and crystalline limestones or marbles have lower percentages of pore space and of absorption, such marbles as those from Vermont, Tennessee, and Georgia being almost nonabsorbent. Pumice stone, which is usually lighter than water owing to it's great amount of pore space, will absorb large quanti- ties of water; obsidian and volcanic glass, which are of the same chemi- cal composition as pun1ice stone but several times heavier than water, will absorb none. Quartzite, granite, and the numerous eruptive rocks are prac- tically impervious to water.

PRESCOTT "FR0NT|ER
 DAYS" TO SURPASS
 ALLFORhER YEARS
Especial to the "Mohave County Miner," by Grace M. Sparkes)


 Prescott, Arizona, June 23.-Visi- tors to the Prescott Frontier Days, July 2-3-4-5th, will see the greatest aggregation of outlaw man-hateing, bucking horses and hard-handed, horn headed, cloven footed, cow servants ever gotten together for wild west contests in the Southwest. There will be broncs aplenty for all hands and plenty of cowboys to ride lem.
 In the herd of the Frontier Days Association proper, are thirty-three of the orneriest outlaws that ever trod the range. They have been selected from near and far, judged entirely on their ability to outpoint the best cow hand that ever rode the pike. Today, in Prescott, there are ten contestants ready for this event. The largest number of riders ever assembled in the Mile High City will be in Pres colt to enter the Worlds Champion ship Bronco Busting Contest.
 The high cash purses offered at Prescott, coupled with the fact that fair, open competition characterizes each competitive event, make the cowhand, puncher or stockman anxious to compete in these contests.
 Four days and nights, wild, rough, fast and furious will go to make up the Prescott Frontier Days. In addi- tion to the cowboy contests there will be entertainments of all kinds; band concerts, dancing, theaters, boxing bouts, baseball games and dozen and one things added to keep the most anxious on tn ego from the time the big celebration is opened until its close.
 Summer excursion rates will be in effect from all points. An accomo- dations committee, experienced in this line of work, will be on the job day

and night at the Frontier Days head quarters, in the chamber of commerce, there to receive all visitors and see that they are taken care of properly and promptly.
 The roads are in excellent condition and hundreds will travel by machine to the contests. An excellent auto park is managed in first-class man her for auto campers who desire to camp and who have their equipment. This park is located in Pine Dells, within a fifteen minute walk of the center of Prescott and all modern con- veniences are installed in this beauti- ful pine-clad park for the comfort of the auto traveller. In Pine Del:s also can be rente dfurnished tent houses wit Incomplete equipment.

 Both the Teasury Certificates and the new Treasury Gold Notes vii be dated June 15, 1921. The Certif:c ties will fall due June 15, 1922, and the Gold Notes will fall due June 15, 1924.
 Both securities can be subscribed for immediately through almost any bank or directly through the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The Treasury of the United States reserv- es the right to close subscriptions without notice and allot less than the amount subscribed.

ORIGINAL FINANCIAL OPERA
 TON BY NEW ADMINISTRATION

San Francisco, June 17.-Financial experts of the country are agreed that the Government offer of three year 5 3-4 per cent United States Treasury Gold Notes June 15 in combination with an issue of Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness for an aggregate of $50O,000,00O constitutes the new Ad- ministration's first important orig inal financial operation" and that Sec etary Mellon's plan offers the only substantial hope of avoiding a spec tacular refunding operation which would weigh heavily upon security markets and industrial financing. The success of these latest issues of new Government securities is held vital to the Secretary's plan which is part of President Harding's financial pro- gram to make the war debt manage able, without any convulsive opera tions.
 Secetary Mellon in a letter to the bankers of the country stated that he was counting confidently on their full fledged support in the absorption of the issues. Full consideration was given to the temper of financial mar kets and every effort was made to make the new offerings as attractive as possible to private investors to whom special invitation was ex- tended to participate. The Treasury is anxious to gain as wide a distribu- tion of the new securities as possible among the public at large. Efforts of the Federal Reserve Banks to mar ket the combined issues of $500, ,000,- 900 will be supplemented, according to we'll authenticated reports, by a special circular to 500,000 large invss- tors and tax payers throughout the country. The Government expects the support of not only the banks but investment dealers in general to guar antee success.
 These Treasury Gold Notes are a new security. They run for three years at 5 34 per cent interest. They are non-callable and are receivable for Federal Estate taxes and for Federal Income and Excess Profits taxes pay able at or within six months of ma turity.
 The Treasury Gold Notes will not be registered and will be in denomina- tions of $10O, $500, $1,OO0, $5,OOO, S1O,0OO and $100,0OO. They are pay able in U. S. gold coin at the present Standard of value and will be free both as to principal and interest from all taxation, except State or Inheri- tance taxes, Graduated Additional In- come taxes, commonly known as Sur taxes, and Excess Profits and War taxes.
 The Treasury Certificates carry 5 8 4 per cent interest and run for one

CANDIDATE GOT ONE VOTE
HumiIiating Practical Joke Played ON
Italian Who Had Made Hlmsef
Politically Unpopular.

Solicitor Gandolf Of Cremona,
Italy besides being a poet, is also q
bombastic meddler In political matters.
Because of this 1t was arranged by Z
party of jokers to bring him forward
as candidate for the polls. The elec-
toral committee was duly constituted
and Gandolti's name was entered on
tine government lists.
The unlucky solicitor was forced
during the fortnight to do his own can
vaSSing and to drive about frem VII
lage to village delivering speeches.
When election day came. no voting pa
perS having been distributed by the
committee for him, 1t was found that
the only vote he received was his
own. His discontinue may be imag-
ined. but 1t Is said that radical
cure for his political tendencies has
been found.
A still more unfortunate candidate
was a communist In the same town
named LOdolini. After the commun-
lists had officially announced their In
tentions to carry him, the man disap-
peared. 1t was found that the Fas-
cisti had seized him at night time and
driven him to CasalmaggiOre, where
he was forced under the severest
threats to remain during election time.
Once LOdolini returned to Cremona
to see his wife, but the same night
the Fascist again entered the house
and forced him to dress and drove him
again to seclusion and meditation over
the rules for the Third Internationale.

WORD HAS MANY MEANINGS
When One Mentions "Fish," the Sylla-
bIe 10 Susce ptibe Of More Tran
One Construction.

. "All is not fish that swims" rejected
the sapient philosopher as he befteld
summer girl, taking to ihe ocean.
The sapient philosopher was formulat-
ing a great truth when he came to
that conclusion.
The whale, for instance, although it
unquestionably swims, is more closely
related to the COW than to the minpow.
The seal is closer kin to the dog than
to the fiuke.
To great many fishermen the word
"fisha-see Latin "piscis" and Dutch
"visch" (the same wOrd)-possesses
only the verb form, ito fish," Catch
ing fish is not necessary part of the
process of fishing. The thing Is ito
fish," and is not primarily to
catch fish. (See fishermen on the
banks of the Seine in Paris, fishing
all day without even getting a bite
from q IninnOw.)S
A famous Englishman by the name
of Izaak Walton was one of the most
persistent patrons Of the verb ito
fish," The word fish" was also ex-
tensively used during the war In an eff
fort to save meat for the fighters

Craft Designed for Sea Rescue Work
Is Soon to Be Given
Definite "Tryout."

, The first lifeboat Of the air, which
has been built with great secrecy, is
to be launched soon in England.
After the official trials 1t will go
through q series of tests with the Brit
ish fleet, If It proves to be satisfac-
tory, a large number Of the craft on
much larger scale will be constructed.
The design Is the outcome of three
years of secret research and tests. The
flying lifeboat will be able to reach
vessel In distress at speed OF more
than 100 miles an hour, and it Is
claimed that 1t will be able to ride
through the toughest storm with the
confident safety of an Atlantic liner
The boats are able to taxi along the
water.
Their seaworthinesS Is to be tested
by sending the first experimental ship
out with the navy, where 1t is to re-
main at sea for several days without
any "mother ship"
The wing span Of the one now near
ing completion Is 14O feet. Safety In
the most violent sea will come from
the residence of the hull, which Is In
one piece from stem to stern. When
this hull strikes huge wave 1t gives
way slightly in much the same way
that a pneumatic tire does when 1t
strikes an obstacle on the road.

Plan Shrines to Burroughs.

The John Burroughs Memorial as
sociation has started its campaign to
raise funds to purchase and maintain
the various properties of the late nat
uralist. 1t Is estimatedNi it will take
about $4,000 to purchase them, and
an additional $4,000 to maintain them
the first year.
The association intends to maintain
the Burroughs properties as the nat
uralist himself maintained them. His
working library. some Of his original
manuscripts, rifles, shotguns and fish
Ing tackle will be exhibited. 1t Is
the opinion of, the association that
shrines to great men, especially
shrines to literary men, are too few,
and that the many friends and admir-
ers of John Burroughs will be Inter
ested in keeping up the places In
which he lived, studied and labored
in the 81 years of his life. 1t hopes
to raise FUNDS to maintain these prop

Waterproof Matches,

Campers and picnickers will hail
with delight the new waterproof match

the following way: Melt few humps
of candle wax in an odd can on the
stove. Allow this to cool little and
then, before 1t has set, dip. the matches

and about half of the wooden part.
Place the matches on one side to cool,
Matches tr ,ated In this simple manner
have been soaked in water for many
hours, and they have lgnited as readily
as those which were perfectly dry, The
only difference Is that, In striking, 1t Is
needful to do so trife more firmly so
as to get through the thin film Of wax
surrounding the head. When once the
flame starts the match burns very read

WONDERS. FOUND IN NUMBERS
Although Undoubtedly an Exact Sci

All things are full of wonder, but
what is more wonderful than numbersf
Who discovered them, or can they
boast an existence before the world
was, with the Ancient Of Days? AT
the first awakening Of human knowl-
edge numbers were there, for there can
be no gathering together nor any sepa-
rating, no collection and no distribu-
tlon, without numbers. They stand
lowering over all, prototype of eternal
law.
Numbers are said to be On exact SCI
ence and to deal with facts which can
not lie; yet how full of imagination
they are. as viewed in the geonetrlcal
exactness of the snowflake. determin-

of the moon, the procession OF our
days and the return of the seasons In

They are the measure of our three d.
mensiops and, should time be discov-
cred to be our fourth dimension, as

Plan to Get Gold From Sand.

1t has been known for many years
that Adirondack sand contains gold de-
posits thar will run from five to seven
dollars per ton. No practical process
was known by which the gold could be
obtained at a profit, although several
attempts have been made in various
sections Of the mountains.
Now, however 1t Is reported that a
process has tbeen perfected which Will
insure q profit. and that two large mills
will soon be erected In the northern
AdirOndncks. Each will be equipped

Soon after the discovery Of a gusher
well at Fort Norman last fall, winter
closed the trails to the new oil

1900 miles he mushed alone through

rumor has long been bruited about the
arctic that Herschel island conceals
rich gold deposits. The little Jap will
soon leave for the north prepared to
spend at least a year on this thunder

Blackbjrd Fed Thrush,

A, lady of Penzance who Is great
lover of birds, says Mr.. w. Fl. Hudson
in his recently published book, "Ad-
ventures Among Birds noticed that
a blackbird and thrush always came
together to her lawn where she was in
the habit of placing food for the birds.
Then she noticed that the blackbird
fed the thrush, picking up the crumbs
of bread and putting them into its
mouth. Looking more closely, she dis
covered that Sthe thrush's beak had
been cut off close to the head, prob
ably by steel trap or a sudden-death
spring trap, such as the children in
Cornwall commonly use to catch or
kill small birds. The thrush was in
capable of feeding itself.
