Causes Of Climatic Change.

Tyndall was one of the first to sug-
gest that the cause of the great
changes that the climate of the earth
has undergone In the past might con-
celvably be the formation Of thin can
opies of gas In the atmosphere, ca
pable of transmitting the luminous
heat of the sun, but impervious to the
dark heat rays radiated back from
the earth. Wheeler, seeking a new
explanation Of the glacial periods,
suggests that such canopies could be
formed by the fall of rings of matter
external to the atmosphere. Being
afterward resolved into belts, they
might give rise to strong climatic
zones, until their final disappearance
by descent to the earth In the form
Of dust. He picturesquely suggests
that primitive man saw the latest
cloud belts, which gave rise to the
myths of serpents twined about the
earth.

LOCATED ON BOUNDARY LINE
Town That Is Half in the State Of
Vermont and Half In Prov
lnce of Quebec.

There Is a town called Beebe Plain,
which stands aalf In the state of Yer
mont and half In the province of Que
bee. The post office was built about
1880 exactly on the boundary land line
between the United States and Can
ada.
Standing In two countries, the post
office belongs to the postal service of
the two nations. The cellar connects
the two countries. In the days
not very long ago when the post office
was general store, whisky was
known to be sold In one country and
delivered In the other without ever
having gone from under the roof OF the
old structure.
Standing in front of this strange
post office Is large post which marks
the boundary line. 1t Is SAID That one
time man who wanted to get a road
way to his premises moved this post,
and many thousands of dollars and no
little time had to be spent to establish
the exact line again.

WAR DEVICE TO RESCUE
MEN BURIED IN MINES

An instrument called the geo.
phone, invented by the French to
detect underground noises during
the world war, is now being used
to rescue entombed miners, locate
mine fire areas and reduce acct
dents through blasting, the Engi-
neering Foundation announces.
The geophone has been improved
by the U. S. army engineers and
bureau of standards until its sensi-
tiveness is so great that in recent
tests sledge pounding was heard
5000 feet through rock, 1000 feet
through coal, 500 feet through mine
cover, and 800 feet through clay.
The geophone, despite its unus-
ual functions, is not a complicated
machine. 1t consists of an iron ring
over which are two metal disks. In
the space within the ring, suspended
between the thin disks, is a lead
weight. An opening in one of the
disks leads to an earpiece. When
the instrument is laid upon the
ground it picks up sound vibrations
that may be coming through. The
disks vibrate, causing a disturbance
in the air within the instrument
which, taking the form of sound, is
transmitted to the ear of the listner.

FUN III AUTOMOBILE TANKS
Havana chauffeurs Said to Be Using
II Because II Is Cheaper
Than Gasoline.

A report in the Scientific American
has 1t that the taxieabs of Havana
are running on what our forefather
knew as rum-though of the dem
tured variety. They are using II be
cause 1t Is 30 per cent cheaper than
gasoline. and IL is the product o..
blackstrap molasees. which is just
now drug on the market. This by
product of cane sugar Is oyerfiowing
the storage tanks; by turning II into
automobile fuel. taxi rates have been
cut, the minimum now being 20 cents
This cut Is said to have been author
lied by the mayor at the request of
the cabmen themselves, who hope by
this means to popularlze this mode OF
travel.
The superabundance of blackstrap
molasses has given them their oppor
tunity, and everybody and his wife
are riding In state. Jamaica, too, Is
planning an installation near Kings
ton for the conversion of rum Into
industrial alcohol. The first consign-
ment to be treated would be one of
100000 gallons, the spirits being
shipped to Canada and elsewhere.

A motor driven by starlight has
been invented by an American scien-
fist, DIR. w. w. Coblentz of Washing
ton. ID. c., says the Mentor Magazine.
So sensitive is the instrument, which
measures heat radiation from the
stars, that 1t will detect an electric
current of one-billionth Of an ampere.
Or, to put 1t more graphically. 1t is
possible to measure the heat given
Off by the most distant star by means
Of electricity generated by its heat.
If the heat from a certain nebula
composed of 105 stars, hundreds of
millions Of miles from the earth. were
concentrated on sixty drops of water
for hundred years, the temperature
OF the water would be raised one de-
gree only, Doctor Coblentz says.

PERMISSION IS
GRANTED FOR THE
WELLS RAILROAD

The last obstacle remaining in
the way of the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company's construction of the
Wells-Rogerson line was removed by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in Washington, ID. C. Saturday,
when that body put its stamp of APP
proval on the proposed railroad,
and issued the certificate of con-
venience to the Oregon Short Line
for the construction of the road.
The road is ninety miles in length,
according to the recent survey, and
the estimated cost is $5,094,000,
nearly all of which will be spent
in Elko county.
President Gray of the Union Pa
cific, who is now in Twin Falls,
Idaho, upon receiving the news of
the action taken by the railroad
board appeared very pleased. That's
fine, we will start construction at
once"
While the surveying of the road
is not completely finished, the south
ern end is declared to be in shape
for immediate letting of the con-
tract, and it is thought that the
Utah Construction Company, build
ers of the Western Pacific railroad
some years ago, and which recently
completed the work of double track
ing the Southern Pacific from Wells
to Montello, will probably start work
at once on the construction of the
new branch of the Union Pacific's
system.
1t is the opinion of local citizens
who have been identified with the
development of Elko county for
many years past, that the decision
whereby the construction of the
railroad which will tap the famous
Contact mining district, is one of
the most momentous in its effect
on the future development and pro-
gress of Elko county that has been
made in many, many years, Tor it
means the opening up not only Of
copper district that is expected to
surpass the Ely country, but also of
other parts of the county, the de-
velopment of which has heretofore
been retarded by the lack of trans
portation facilities.
Granting Of permission by the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
the construction of the branch,
means realization of the hopes of
Z. T. Gray of the Gray Mining Com
pany, for a railroad which would
tap the rich copper belt of that dis
trict. 1t was with Mr.. Gray that
the idea originated some four years
ago.
That the dreams of the residents
of Nevada and Idaho between Rog-
erson and Wells were to become
realities was realized only recently.
when the Union Pacific sent a crew
of surveyors over the proposed rail-
road route.
The surveys have been about COM
pleted and traffic scouts are now in
the territory looking into the posi-
bilities of development of mines,
agriculture and industries which will
increase traffic on the new line even
more than was anticipated when
it was decided to take over the
franchise and build the road.
The original line proposed has
been changed somewhat, according
to the Reno agent for the Union Pa
cifc, for the benefit of easier
grades and better water supply

RAILROAD MADE
To ORDER FOR
THE PRESIDENT

SALT LAKE CITY.-A 40-mile
railroad over the desert between
Lund and Cedar City, rushed to
completion in 81 days at cost
of $1,049,00O, was one of the IN
cidentals in the recent reception
by the state of Utah to President
Harding.
On April 2, last, the right of way
men, acting for the Union Paclhc
railroad, secured possession OF the
needed ground for the construction
of the railway from the Salt Lake
Route main line at Lund to the en-
trance of Zion National park, and
on the same day the first scraper-
full of earth was turned on the
grade.
The contractor strung his men out
in sections and as fast as a sec
ton was completed, the track lay
ing crew took possession and the
ties and rails were set IN place.
Crowding upon their heels was the
ballast crew. And so the work was
rushed toward Cedar City.
In the midst of this orgy of toll
came word that the president of the
United States would visit Zion park,
providing the track was in shape for
his big special train upon his arrival
in the west. Every man on the
system from the highest executive
to the lowliest section hand plunged
into the work with a redoubled
energy.
Whereupon there came the an
that President Hard
ing's trip to southern Utah had been
and the work dragged.
But again came cheering news,
definite this time, that the presi-
dent would come. Ignoring dust
and desert heat, the men plunged
nto the job again, determined to
inish the road in time.
Only 48 hours before the arrival
If the presidents train the depot at
cedar City was strewn with founda-
ions and debris left from the re-
noval of houses that had been
arted away or torn down. Ballast
rains brought in clean white gravel.
I'm approach 20 feet wide for auto
Mobile travel was graded and sur
aced and grounds were roped off.
Twelve hours before the presi-
ent's train was due the electric
ans were erecting poles and string
1g the lights along the railray track
nd the station yard.
The superintendent Of the work
ode into Cedar City on a pilot
rain ahead of the presidential train
nd met his yard foreman, who was
lst finishing his second 24-hours
lift that week. He was covered
18th dirt and CRIME and a half-inch
rowth of rough beard bristled on
is face. The superintendent pre-
allied upon him to get cleaned up
nd take a little nap before the
'esident arrived. The man dragged
mself into a car within 500 feet
the spot where the presidents
'ecial was parked" and slept SO
'undly that he never even saw the
ghest executive.
During the construction of the
ew branch, ballast trains bringing
ravel were given right of way over
very other train on the Salt Lake
cute main line. The biggest days
ltput was 119 cars. In the 81
avs nearly one-half million tons of
ravel were hauled an average dis
Inec of 100 miles.

BOYS KILL LYNX
WITHOUT WEAPON

Killing a 50-pound lynx with rocks
is the feat of three Tonopah boys
who went out for a short pleasure
drive into the northern canyons
recently. They had motored to
Hunts Canyon, 40 miles from Tono-
pah, and were returning just as the
storm was gathering and the skies
became overcast, with the intention
of beating the storm back home.
Between Marsh's lower ranch and
Hunts Canyon, Lee Henderson, who
was at the wheel observed a monster
lynx crossing the road. Stopping the
car, Lee grabbed the first rock that
came to hand and let fly, scoring
perfect bullseye on the TANKS of
the brute which doubled UP and
caused him to jump into the sage
brush. George Miller and Matt
Hallihan, who were with Lee, took
up the battle which ended in the
big cat taking the count with one
side of his head smashed in by a
well directed rock. When the BOYS
reached the side of the cat they
found its throat was encircled by a
perfect necklace of porcupine quilts
which had taken all the pep out of
the animal. Before leaving town
the boys proposed taking a shotgun
but concluded there would not be
any rabbits at this season and left
the gun at home.-Tonopah Times.
