The Speed
T APPEARS from the reports of the local Mexican consul that Mr. Orozco is
breaking all the records in his flying machine. The consul does not hesitate
to shift him a few hundred miles each night and to transport him over high
mountain ranges and across all but impassable deserts at a fabulous rate.
The consul's military men however have the advantage for they can pursue
Orozco with the superior power and speed of thought which is quicker than light
The generals can sit at their wine in the Sheldon dining rooms comfortable and
safe and happy and just follow Mr. Orozco all over the map without scratching
the gloss off their new puttees or tarnishing their new shoulder straps.
And it is a pleasure to testify that the federals are a good deal more decorative
in landscape and scenic effect in Juarez than the rebels ever were and that it is
now safe for a man or woman to cross the river and look around the streets'
without being subject to insult arrest or petty robbery as were all too common
under the rebel regime.

The filibusters are looking longingly across the border but they seem to have
little heart for the enterprise. There is nothing spontaneous about it and it is
doomed to failure. Besides senor Didapp says he is going to take Texas in two

It is time for El Paso to devise some practical scheme to get rid of a few
thousand unnecessary poles. Those in the business center should come down with-
out delay and the wires be buried. In the outlying sections perhaps some way
can be devised by the city authorities to induce the various companies to cooperate
to use the same poles in many instances.
o
How many votes win the regular Republican party in New Mexico lose by
reason of the tragic death of Solomon Luna? Some well informed men say 2500.
His personal influence among the natives was very great He has no successor
ready to fill his place.
o
Broomcora has been added to the list of valuable crops in this section. -The
flprnnnfl is always far in excess of the supply and market prices fully justify its
cultivation on a large scale.
False Security
T WILL be time enough to boast of El Paso's low death rate when effective
steps are taken to reduce the mortality in the Mexican section down below the
rate that prevailed in Havana during Spanish colonial days or in Vera Cruz
and Panama before they were cleaned up. It is of course absurd to base any
opinion upon the death record of a single week wherein the number of deaths
happened to be one-half of the lowest' previous weekly record and one-fifth of the
previous high mark. It is gratifying to see any exception to the rule of high
mortality and it would be more gratifying to note a marked tendency toward
permanent improvement But it creates a false impression of security to put a
misinterpretation upon the exceptional weekly record reported to the city council
by the health department
o
A correspondent writes to ask what "suspension of guaranties" in Mexico
means. It means that the responsible general officers of the Mexican army can
leave their country and spend their time in El Paso hotels banqueting each other
three or four times a day while the rebels run around as they please in 17 states
of the republic threatening or murdering natives and foreigners alike and violating
the rights of foreigners.
: o
It is all right for Mexico to fortify Juarez but enough American guns" should
be in readiness on the American side to dismount the Mexican guns in the most
friendly and least dangerous way of course in case the Mexicans should begin
shelling El Paso as they did in May a year ago.
o
It has often been declared that Abram Gonzales started the original revolution
that seated Madero in the presidential chair. Would he feel like starting another
if Madero should "request his resignation"? Would any governor whatever be
satisfactory to the Chihuahuans? Would president Madero strengthen his cause
in the north by appointing a near relative as governor?

Fight Is
EL PASO must have a strong representation at the National Irrigation congress
for Colorado and northern New Mexico will make a strong fight against the
Elephant Butte project The opposition has become more bitter than ever
before and Colorado is determined to despoil the Elephant Butte project of part
of its necessary water supply if she can accomplish it Colorado has friends at
Washington and also in northern New Mexico who are working hard for her
against the welfare of this portion of the valley. If El Paso does not look after
her own interests nobody else will.
Odor of burning leaves and pinecones and aroma of sizzling bacon over a camp-
fire are curiously suggested by the accounts of arrangements for the great Os-Aple
jubilee to be held here next month. There is something very jolly and outdoorsish
about the affair and the thousands of visitors will have a bully time as long as
they stay. The outdoor fair will also be a valuable and interesting feature.

owing to the short time allowed. This year we have got an early start and there
is no reason why the maximum good should not be obtained from the trip if the
field be well prepared in advance.

THE LAST MEAL
A Thrilling Animal Story For Children.
By F. St. Mars.
F you had stood or -walked among
the open grassy spaces between the
thickets which marked as it were.
the outskirts of the forest you would
not have seen a living thing except
perhaps a few birds vanishing so to
speak around corners. Yet the place
was really alive with animals the
whole time for this was the hour Just
before dawn when in the moonlight
the night hunting animals were re-
turning to the forest and the night
feeding nonhuntlng animals were re-
turning also. But so stealthily were
they that nothing more of them would
have been seen than possibly a sway-
ing twig to show that something had
passed that way If the rabbit had
not squealed.
There were swarms of rabbits about
racing and playing quito silently.
This one squealed because he had in
galloping between some branches got
his fur hopelessly entangled in a
snake like brier. I suppose he thought
he was trapped. Anyway he strug-
gled and he squealed.
Instantly without any preliminary
warning a weasel's long brown shape
shot over the grass straight for the
luckless bunny. lie was very quick
that weasel though he could not see
the rabbit only heard it; but he did
not appear to have been so quick as
someone else for before he could
reach the prey another creature
dashed out from the bushes on his
right. This other animal also was
hurrying to the cry of bunny in dis-
tress. He was larger than the wea-
sel though very much like him and
was known as a beech marten. He
too was wonderfully quick but be-
fore he could quite reach the brier
yet another a large gray beast leapt
from another bush. The sight of its
eyes alone sent marten and weasel
swerving into cover for dear life. The
third arrival was a wildcat a brist-
ling flat eared fiery eyed fierce ap-
parition. He had not far to go and in an-
other bound would have reached Brer
Rabbit and ended that equealing for-ov.-r
ivhnn all of a sadden he checked
himself in midspring and came down j
again almost in his tracks. An ani-
mal had shot around the corner of the
thicket in which the rabbit had caught
himself. It was a lean red brute and
Its teeth gleamed in the moonlight
Another second and it would have
collided with the cat if the latter had
not checked his spring. It was a fox.
Beth animals stood motionless re-
garding one another each itching to
kill the rabbit and make off. but
neither daring to make the first move.
I suppose they remained there for
about 30 seconds possibly longer and
all the time the rabbit went on ut-
tering that pitiful squeal which they
knew full well would call up every
prowler requiring a meal within hear-
ing. An owl fluttered over their heads
his big eyes gleaming into the thicket
trying to make out the rabbit and
both animals glanced up at him. As
they did so without a sound without
so much as a whisper even a big
shape sailed clean over the brier
bush and landed precisely between
them like some huge furry ball.
The fox fell backwards nearly un-
der the snout of an old wild boar re-
turning slowly to his lair In the forest
for the day. "G-r-r-oomf" said the
boar right in Brer Fox's ear and in
a flash the for was gone streaking
Into the night like a red line drawn
In and out among the dense black
masses of bush and the open silver
carpets of the moonlight grass. As
for the wildcat she seemed merely
to have twisted upon herself and to
have gone out just as a lamp Is
blown out
The boar stood motionless for a
moment following the vanishing
"brush" of the fox with his wicked
twinkling eyes snorted and passed on
into the shadows.
Only the furry ball remained. He
was a strange beast to look upon be-
ing somewhat like the cat but larger
with an absurd stumpy tail that
bobbed; ears like the cat but with
still more absurd tufts of hair stick-
ing from their tips limbs like the cat
also but disproportionately long and
rather thick; fur of a rich golden
gray and on his face which re-
sembled a large edition of the wild-
cat was a set and diabolical grin. He
was a lynx.

Short Story
The rabbit saw that grinning coun-

however there was a pounce a scur-
fle. a single scream and silence.
Bunny was dead but by no means done
with. ...
Knowing as well as a fox and wild-
cat that a rabbit's squeal is a rally-
ing point for all flesh eaters the lynx
was anxious to hurry away with his
prize before any more claimants to a
meal arrived and there at once he got
into difficulties with the brier ten-
dril which held the rabbit
Cats have not much patience at the
best of times and a lynx is of course
a large species of cat but this one
was in a special hurry. He. tugged and

and risk injuring the delicate pads of
his great paws and as he tugged he
snarled. . . . .
And the snarl was repeated In bjs
In a shorter time than it would take
you to say "one" the lynx had moved
one yard and pivoted round. He
found himself staring Into the gleam-
ing open jaws of a wolf; and quicker
still he had being frightened and
seeing no escape struck blft Now
that wolf who had also heard the
distress cry of the rabbitt and hur-
ried to it 'Was a far larger animal than
the lynx and would If his heart had
been as large too. have slain him.
But lynxes do not die without argu-
ment as he knew; this one would bo

For these reasons It was I think
that after the first amazed howl ot
Tinin. th wolf lust gave one furious
snap and galloped off leaving the lynx
to eat nls meal in peace.
This he did. and when the feast was
over after carefully cleaning him-
self just as dawn was breaking he
moved off just like some moving gray
shadow through the mist to his lair.
Now one would have thought that
the rabbit really was done with this
time hut not a bit of it
It was quite early in the afternoon
and -still some hours before the dusk
would call him again to" his hunting
that the lynx awoke in the cool depths
of a hollow tree -wherein he had en-
sconced himself. Ordinarily be slept
right through until dusk unless some
animal attempted to eriter his abode
and there were few hardy enough to
venture upon that task. Yet some-
thing had assuredly awakened him
most fully and it did not come from
outside either this disturbing ele-
ment It came from inside inside his own
ntiw hndv. He felt as if a fire were
raging inside there. The awakening 1
and the realisation of the position and
the workings of instinct followed one
another quickly. In a second the lynx
was on his feet in another he was
at the mouth of the hollow frighten-
ing a squirrel eating nuts just out-
side nearly into a fit and in another
he was down on the ground eating the
grass like a mad thing. Grass is the
wild hunting animals' emetic; yet al-
though effective in one way it failed
In another. The pain was still there.
Then the lynx turned and dashed for
the nearest water.
A herd of deer asleep If deer ever

mouth and with madness staring out

savage bristly old boar rooting for

scattered grunting in all directions

rushed among them and was gono
before the old boar could even lift
his long tusked snout to charge; and
a wild goat which had come down to
the mountains to drink while its foe3
of the night were asleep was nearly
knocked Into the stream by some quito
crazy creature blindly rushing down
to the water.
And there with head down and

WONDERFUL PROGRESS IS MADE IN CHEMISTRY
Scientists Seek To Conserve Energies in Developing Resources Seeing by
Wire Is a Possibility.
By FREDERIC J. HASKIH.
WASHINGTON D- C. SEPT. 6.
The meeting of the 8th In-
ternational Congress of Ap-
plied Chemistry -which now is in ses-
sion in Washington affords an inter-
esting opportunity to consider what
applied chemistry has done for hu-
manity and to speculate upon what
the future will bring forth. The
most impressive fact concerning chem-
ical knowledge is the same that char-
acterizes most scientific knowledge
the discovery of race benefitting pro-
cesses and methods is far ahead of their
adoption by the people or even tho
most civilized nations.
Many Operators "Waste Energies.
If the farmer for instance could
adopt Into his work all of the chemi-
cal knowledge of soils and crops that
has been gathered for him the high
cost of living might become a forgot-
ten issue. Farm life then would be-
come so att: active that the drift of
humanity would be away from the
city Instead of toward It. There mere
matter of Intelligent fertilization
would result In doubling the American
yield of farm crops of every descrip-
tion. Comparing the results obtained
on tre averag-e American farm with
those secured on th; progressive far-
mer's fields the average American
farmer wastes far more than half his
opportunities simply by his failure tp
mix chemistry and allied sciences with
tho brawn he uses.
But the 'armor Is not the only man
who wastes more than half of his en-
ergies. The coal operator mines coal
dv expensive piocesses 1111s 11 nun-
dreds of feet to the surface loads it on I
cars and hauls it away so that the
value of the coa! v. hen the consumer
gets It is a dozen times or more
greater than Its value before loosened
by the miners' pick. A dozen ways
have been propose! to change all of
this. One of the recent propositions
is to grind the coal into minute par-
ticles In the mine mis it with water
and then rump it out as they pump
mud out of the undt-rwater sections of
the Panama canal with suction
dredges: big pipe lines would then be
laid from the mine to the contiguous
cities and the liquid coal carried as
petroleum is carried now.
"Would Generate Gas In Mine.
Another suggestion for the utiliza-
tion of coal without mining it and
transporting it ry rail comes from Sir
William Ramsay tho noted English
chemist who now is attending the
Chemists' concress in this country. He
dowVto the coal sttuVand Through
them fire the coal by electricity. Air
would be sent down only in sufficient
quantities to provide a regulated fire
which would transform the coal di-
rectly Into producer gas. 'Great ga3
tanks would be located at the mouth
of the well and they would be con-
nected with gas engines which in
turn would drive great dynamos for
the making of electric current He
estimates that this current could be
delivered several hundred miles -with
much less loss of energy than char-
acterizes tne present wasteful methods
of coal mining.
The savings that would thus be ef-
fected in the delivery of power from
the unreined coal to the driving shafts
of big factories find a counterpart
in those affected already in metal
mining operations through smelters
and the like. With these millions ot
tons of "ores are secured that would
otherwise be unavailable because the
amount of metal in a given quan-
tity of ore would not be sufficient to
justify separation under old methods.
In these days of brass and copper and
and steel prices would be prohibitive
but for the arts of chemical and
electro-chemical extraction devised by
the modern chemical engineer.
Seek to Reduce Cost of Living.
The chemist is going to the ant and
considering his ways in many fields.
Every one realises that our lighting
bills are too 'heavy and that we use
vastly more energy than we should in
generating our illumlnants. If we
could make our light with us as lit-
tle expenditure of energy as does the
common fire-fly a gas bill that now is
$15 would be 15 cents. In a large
number of chemical laboratories scien-
tists are trying to master the myster-
ies of the fire-fly's lighting' establish-
ment. While there is not much hope
that they will be able to tell us at
any early date how to reduce our
gas bills to so great an extent they
do hold out hope that we will soon
get our illumination at infinitely less
expenditure of energy than we now
get it
Only recently a French chemist an-
nounced that he has succeeded in pro-
ducing a cold electric light which
gives off light with the expenditure Of
the two hundredth part of the elec-
trical current required for producing
light with the ordinary filament lamp.
This would be even more economical
than the fire-fly but whether it can
be used outside of the laboratory or
not remains to be seen. The Inventor
claims that with this light a boy or
girl could carry around anywhere a
battery powerful enough to light an
ordinary dwelling.
Send Pictures By "Wire.
While the matter of talking by wire
has been in use so long that peoplo
insr nictures bv wir still excites great
interest. The newspapers of Paris
now are doing that right along How-
ever thanks to the genius of the
chemist who has made it possible to
transmit half tones. The doings at
Monte Carlo are being illustrated in
this way although the intervening
distance is some 500 miles. A copper
film is prepared by photographic
means so as to give it the little dots
of a half tone. Gelatine remains on
the film where the shadows appear
and the copper Is bare where the
lights are encountered. An electric
needle passes over the plate making
a contact and sending electrical Im-
pulses which correspond to the lights
and shadows of the picture. At the
receiving end there is a similar cop-
per film untreated. A ray of light
shinos through a pin hole and a shut-
ter cuts it off. and makes it weak or
strong according to the contact of
the needle at the sending end. When
the whole film has thus received it3
impressions of light and shadow it is
developed and turned oer to the photo
engraving room for reproduction
ainy Soon See Ry "Wire.
Will we ever be able to see by
wire? This is a question often asked
and usually answered In the negative
by the lavman. But he who has seen
the rise of the elegraph the telephone
and the wireless apparatus and has
considered how all of these were re-
garded as impossible in their turn
will scarcely deny the possibility of
.such an Invention. All of these things
spring indirectly from the chemical
wizard and he is not ready to admit
that there is no possibility of further
progress. Not only have pictures been
transmitted by wire but by wireless
though of coure with less success.
If once wo succeed in transmitting
pictures by wireless as well as they
are transmitted by wire will it not
be logical to suppose that seeing by
wire will be the next step? Think ot
the infinite possibilities of a telephone
system that will be able to let the
persons at either end of the wire see
the other! And then if we learn how
to sei- bv wire is it not logical to
suppose that we will come to see by
ivirr !.' Irnln't we first use the tele
graph Hun the telephone and dida'tthc
wireless telebraph succeed the tele-
phone and the wireless telephone fol;
low the wireless telegraph? And
haven't they all been succeeded by the
wire transmission of images and it
in turn by their wireless transmission?
Great Possibilities.
One might write a page instead of
a column upon the possibilities of
chemistry and chemical engineering
In the future. So many discoveries
now are ready to pass out of the lab-
oratory stage into the practical ap-
plication stage that merely to mention
some of them shows what possibilities
lie in the future. For instance a
German scientist has discovered a
chemical substitute for the X-ray.
By mixing two special liquids and ap-
plying them to the subject to be ex-
amined whether it be an animal a
vegetable wood bone or what not
he is able to render it transparent For

CAMPAIGN
FUNDS
(Copyright 1912
AMPAIGN funds aro money whkh
is contributed by generous and
financially dropsical oitisens in an
effort to make the common people do
what they always intended to do nj-
way vote as thoy blamed please at
elections.
A campaign fund consists of sueh a
large pile of money that it keeps a
national manager and a large number
of assistants busy all summer spending
it. Some of this money is spent for
bands and flags and red fire and cigars
and a large white water cooler for the
headquarters. The rest goes into litera-
ture and speakers. Early in the cam-
paign year a large number of eloquent
orators become politically confused and
uncertain and cannot tell whom they
are going to favor with all their hearts
unti they have hefted the rival cam-
paign funds. One of the most porsua-
sive sights for the doubtful voter in this
nation is that of a famous speaker who
is exhorting the common people to arise
and shake off their shackles for S100 a
day and carefare for the orator not
the common people.
In the good old times it was customary
for the ordinary citizens to refrain
nobly from contributing to the campaign
fund" while the prominent oapitaltste took
charge of the job and finished it in no
time by chippiDg in $100000 apiece
taking a few congressmen and a federal
judge or two as souvenirs when the
campaign was over We are now so
particular however in our politics that
if a capitalist wore to come around to a
political headquarter and ask in trem-
bling tones to be allowed to leave a $2
bill there as a token of his interest lie

MONTANA. STREET PAVING.
Editor El Paso Herald:
Please answer these two questions
for me If you can: ...
1. When will the pavement be fin-
ished on Montana street?
2. When I drive over the finished
portion at night my automobile light
shows it full of ridges and depressions
a regular corduroy surface although
the entire piece of work has not yet
been opened to traffic. Is tnis a good
pavement.'

is that you turn off your lights
at night; then you won't see the de-

it were not. .saiiori
