The contest which is being carried
on between the Reds and the Blues of

we believe that the Blues will feel real
blue when the money raised is count
ed, and they have to banquet the
Reds.

What ls Earth Like Jnsjdef

Old Ideas In regard to the high heat
on the unknown inside Of the earth
may have to be revised, IL the incon-
elusive evidence adduced by tempera-
ture tests in LOT deep wells in the
United States by DR.. c. E. Van Or
strand. physical geologist Of the Unit
ed States Geological survey, should be
confirmed by later investigations. Ac-
cording to this expert, the steady in
crease In temperature, SO great that
a miner could not live at a depth of
one mile, appears to be less rapid a
little beyond that depth. Combined
with the fact that mathematicians
have not yet found the law of distribu-
ton of temperature from the surface
to the center Of the earth, this makes
uncertain the estimation of some SCI
entists that the heat at the center is
as high as 10000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Observations at depth of about 1900
feet have been taken, but DR.. Van Or
strand has not been able to carry his
Investigations further.-Science Serv-

How Gold Prospectors Work.

Whether gold occurs as an alluvial
deposit or In "reef," 1t is traced by
the prospector with the help Of a gold
"pan." This is a shallow pan Of
light sheet iron with dlshed sides.
When ''panning' for gold, the pros
pector places the sand, soil, or crushed
rock into the pan. and adds water to
wet the substance to be PANIED. Then.
holding the pan In a tub or stream of
water, he adds more water. and by a
shaking motion works the heavy min
erals to the bottom Of the pan. By
tapping process he elects the sand
until there remains only concentrates,
emong which the gold may be distin-
guished by its color and relative heavi-
ness.
There are rich gold reefs which shed
gold very sparingly. and sometimes
the gold is locked up in pyrite or other
minerals, from which 1t is liberated by
roasting or chemical treatment.

ARMIES OF WOMEN WARRIORS
Amazons, According to Ancient Writ.
ers, Were Fierce Fiehters-Some
Records Of Their Deeds.

According to ancient writer's, the
Amazons were a nation Of female war
riOrs, who allowed no men to live
among them, but marched to battle
under command of their queen. They
held occasional intercourse with the
men Of neighboring states II boys
were born to them, they either sent
them to their fathers or killed them.
But the girls were brought up for
war, and their breasts were burned
off that they might not be prevented
from bending the bow. From this Gus
tom they received the name Of Anna.
IONS, which is "breastless."
The Asiatic Amazons are said to
have at one time subdued the whole
Of Asia, and to have built Smyrna,
the city recently captured and burned
by the Turks. and other cities.
Other nations of Amazons men,
toned by the ancients were the Scyth-
Ian Amazons, who in aftertimes mar
ried among the neighboring Scythians,
and the African Amazons, who sub
dued the Gorgons and Atlantes
marched through Egypt and Arabia,
and founded their capital on the
Lake Tritonis, but were annihilated
by Hercules.
