!Grinds Plate Glass
to Make Telescope

Fremont, Neb.-Wfth section of
stovepipe and piece of plate glass,
Gilbert Lueningheener, student at
Midland college, has made a power
full telescope.
1t took him ten months. He fash
toned the glass into O. parabolic
mirror, the most important part of the
instrument, by more than 100 hours
Of grinding, polishing and figuring.
In the final polishing he effaced, by
hand, irregularities of less than one
hundred thousandth of an inch. He
took piece of ten-ineh stovepipe and
painted it black and white to make
the barrel of the telescope. Except
for right-angle prism and an eye
piece, the whole instrument Is hand
made.
The device has a magnifying power
Of 80 diameters-strong enough to en-.
able it's maker to study four satel-
lites of Jupiter, the crescent of Venus,
the rings of Saturn, the Orion nebula
and the topography of the Moon

Finds Mystery Cloud
Floats About Mars

Berkeley, Calif-A theory that
blue clouds that defy analysis float
about the planet Mars was announced
recently by w. Fl. Wright astronomer
at Lick observatory.
Wright has been experimenting with
color photography as an aid to the
usual method of studying planets.
He said that although observers
had noted the varying color of clouds
on Mars previously, they had never
attributed it to difference in struc-
ture. His latest observations with
color screens convinced him, however,
that there are two types Of clouds in
the Marian atmosphere, one prob
ably white, but appearing yellow be-
cause of the absorbing effect of the
planets atmosphere, and the blue
clouds, which float at a higher altitude.
The yellow, or white, clouds Wright
styled water vapor clouds. He has
been unable to determine the exact
nature of the blue clouds, but he ex-
pressed belief that much of the prom
inence of the planets polar caps was
due to a blue cloud floating over
them

Convict Costs England
Thirty Pounds Yearly

London.-PrisOners In British pris-
ons are mostly under sentence either
of hard labor or penal servitude. They
work, on an average, seven hours a
day. They make mats. mailbags,
brushes, mops, shoes. They are car
penters, stonemasons, bricklayers,
painters, plumbers and so on.
Yet the value of their yearly work
Is low, varying in different prisons
from ETA yearly person up to a
maximum of about f24 The average
is somewhere about EFT. sum which
prisoners food. SO the unfortunate
taxpayer has to shell out rather more
than EDO year for each of the thou
sands of inmates of English local and
convict prisons.
Sixty years ago many of the pris-
ons were self-supporting. The big
prison at Wakefield used to make a
handsome profit out of it's mats. The
average number of prisoners was 600
and the profits ran to between $4,000
and $1,000 year

INDIANS GAINING
IN SELF-RELIANCE
Redmen Now Grapple With
Own Problems.

Spokane, Wash.-The Pacific north
west Indian, treated once as an enemy
OF the white man and since his subju-
cation as q ward, Is assuming self
reliant role as consequence Of a
movement inaugurated by the red man
himself
Paul G. Wapato, full-blood Ameri-
can Indian, is the moving spirit in the
transformation.
The crusade had it's inception in
the seizure Of control of the north
west Indian congress by the new gen
GRAFTON of Indians following plea
by Wapato for unified thought and ac-
ton among his race. The coup swept
him into the presidency, formerly held
by white man, and carried through
set of declarations voicing the de-
mands of the younger generation.
Since that time Wapato, who Is
frankly impatient of the story book,
moving picture, Wild West idea of the
Indian, has been inducing the tribes
Of the Pacific northwest to form as
ooSiuLioaS vi llelE VdIlOuS IcScif va
lions for the discussion of problems
and reaching of agreement as to sug-
gested remedies.
There has been too much complain
ing against the wrongs the Indians
have suffered at the hands of white
men, he believes, and not enough effort
on the part of the Indians to improve
their condition.
1t Is his hope that by the time the
next Indian congress convenes in
September the various tribes will have
agreed on definite and concrete pro
posals for settlement of their prob
lens instead of sitting by while rep
resentatives of the Indian bureau and
others discuss them from the white
mans point of view.
Wapato, left on his own resources
at the age of thirteen by the death Of
his father, worked his way through
the Wenatchee high school and Villa
mette university, where he studied
law. His brother, Paschal Sherman,
who holds a number of college de-
grees, is an employee of the war-risk
department at Washington.

STORY FROM THE START

From the comfortable financial
situation to which he had been
born, Peter Milman, American
gentleman of the old school, and
last OF his family, Is practically
reduced to penury through the
misfortune of friend unwisely
trusted. Learning of Brewers sui
eide, which means the destruction
OF his last hope, Milman engages
French butler, Achille Lutry,
who speaks no English, and Is
to replace Sneed, servant of long
standing. By Lutry, Milman
sends letters to Prof. Fleming
Bradney, Floyd Malet and Nee
land Barnes, men once Of high
position. In response, the three
call on him at his home Each
relates the circumstances that
wrecked their careers. Milman
convinces them that their mis-
fortunes were all due to one
man, Paul Raxon. He explains
how, chiefly through his belief in
Floyd Malet as a great sculptor
and the victim of malevolent cir
cumstances, he had subscribed to
ss-clipping bureau and kept
detective on Raxon's track,
learning much to Raxon's dis
credit. though nothing by which
he could be reached legally. Him
self impoverished through Rax-
on's financial crookedness, Mil
man proposes an association Of
the four men-an association
outside the law-which shall pull
down Raxon and force him to
disgorge his ill-gotten financial
gains. Following Milman's dis
closures, his three guests, after
a consultation, practically decide
to join him in the fight against
Paul Raxon.

PURE TIN YIELDED
BY GOLD HILL MINE
Oregon's mystery White
Metal" Is Identified.

Portland, Ore.-Pure tin Is being
extracted from the rocks near Gold
Hill. in the Rogue River valley. That
the white metal Is tin has been at.
tested by assayers In San Francisco,
Denver and other places.
eve have demonstrated that we
have tin. We have the mine from
which the tin came. We have put all
our resources into the development
to date. Now we want to know
whether Portland wants to develop
new industry or whether we must
look elsewhere"
Such Is the statement made by q.
r. Logan and e. s. Erskine, ex-resi-
dents Of Bend, who are in the city
to submit their discovery to the Port
land Chamber of Commerce.
Have No Doubts.
Much has been written about the
mystery white metal' around Grants
Pass. Some maintain 1t is tin and
others express doubts. There Is no
doubt in the minds of Messrs. Logan
and Erskine, for they have the con-
crete Evidence and the scientific re-
ports. These visitors represent the
group of men owning the Golden Cross
mine, which Is three miles out In
Sans valley, north of Gold Hill. and
more specifically located on Payne's
gulch through which runs Payne's
creek emptying into Rogue river.
M. d. Jackson, prospector, now sew
enty-six, discovered the mine, having
been grubstaked by Logan, then en-
ployed building logging railroad for
one of the big sawmill companies of
Bend.
"For seven years we worked 1t as
gold mine," said Mr.. Logan. "We fig
ured we had large body of ore The
vein is 35 feet wide 5000 feet long,
and we don't know how deep. Two
years ago Glen Spurlin, who had
worked in Australia and was familiar
with tin, came to us. He told us that
our rock contained tin, and we thought
he was kidding. He rugged up fur
mace and proved 1t by recovering but
tons which were tested and found to
be tin.
All Showed Tin.
"In two years these tin buttons
have been carried away by many peo-
pie and whenever they have been
tested they showed tin We have built
a laboratory and complete equipment
We do not cook rock In kitchen stoves
or blacksmith FORCES, but In reg
ular assayer's furnace. 1t is done in
the approved scientific method. We
have produced between fifty and sixty
pounds of tin. Some of the bars,
which we have refined, show analysis
of 90 per cent pure tin. Not one, but
several assayers have given certificates
to that effect The ore will average
per cent tin.
''The ore in our mine is different
form other rock from which buttons of
metal said to be tin have been ex-
tracted.
"There is no question whatever as
to the identity of our metal. 1t is, tin.
We have proved that and are willing
to prove 1t to any one. We would APP
preciate If the Chamber of Commerce
of Portland or the State Chamber of
Commerce would come or send repre-
sentatives to our property and at first
hand inform themselves as to the pos
sibilities of developing it."

Crop Increased 20 Per
Cent by Electricity

Chicago.-A 20 per cent in
crease in the yield Of farm lands
has been obtained through the
use of atmospheric electricity
as a stimulant to crops, says
report made by a committee OF
the American Electronic Re-
search association.
Observations are being made
on the farm Of Henry Surber
of Warrenten, Mo-, one of the
first to claim an increase In
crops from applying electric
stimulant. The method also Is
being used to cure cancerous
vegetable growths.
The method used is merely
discharging electricity through
the ground at the roots of the
plants, using wires and a device
which catches the electric cur
rents from the air. 1t Is widely
used in France with success, the

England, France and Italy all have
