PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE
Liquor Interests Fighting Law to
Last IHtch.
Prohibition victories are never easily
won. Triumph at the polls is not
always followed by legislative enactment
in accord with the expressed
will of the majority of the voters.
Who doubts this statement has only
to re-read the history of the special
election on this subject in South
r<?i so-) whon a majority
/ ? . V'Cli UXiJlCi 1U _
of the Democrats declared for prohibition
and the legislature, at Tillman's
instance, gave them the dispensary.
In the language of Scripture.
they asked for a fish and were
given a serpent. And even where a
legislature gives a statute in accord
with the will and wish of a majority
of the voters, victory is still not secured
until that statute has run the
, ' gauntlet of the courts. And even
when it has done that, the people
> are often robbed of the fruits of victory
by officials who will not make
the statute enecxive. a majum.
the Tennessee voters favor prohibition,
but its enemies are fighting
hard to keep prohibition from being
really effective in that State. The
fight has been waged fiercely, but on
Saturday the Tennessee supreme
court took the last prop from under
the saloons and liquor in Tennessee
when it declared the "nuisance law"
passed
by the last general assembly
constitutional. The law not only
gives the courts power to close sa*
loons, but to confiscate property within
the State used for the manufacture
or sale of intoxicating liquors
for interstate trade. A petition signed
by ten citizens of a county will invoke
the nuisance law and where a
violation of the prohibition law is
prpven, the courts can seize the property
used for the illegal traffic and
advertise it for sale in a manner similar
to the sale of property for delin'
, quent taxes.
The effect of the law is to make
owners of property jointly liable for
/ violations of the prohibition laws by
thpir tenants or sub-tenants. Pro
ceedings under the nuisance law have
/ already be^en instituted in Memphis
and Knoxville and are threatened in
Nashville and Chattanooga.
It is probable a test case will be
carried to the United States courts
on constitutional grounds. Liquor interests
never give up until the last
ditch has been crossed, always hoping
that while a law inimichl to them
is being fought in the courts, they
imay jcarrv an election which will give
them power to repeal or nullify the
laws they are fighting.
The Tennessee law will win out in
the Federal courts, for it invofces the
same police power which is exercised
in the Iowa and District of Columbia
Plaws against property used for social
vice purposes.?Greenville Piedmont.

The hot springs of Las Siervas near
Valle de Canisos, in a remote part of
the State of Guerrero, Mexico, have
been visited from the outside world,
says the Boston Transcript, but they
are famous in the legends and history
of the Indian tribes of that part of the
republic.
According tathe natives, the waters
of the springs possess great medicinal
Tirnn??rtieR. In ancient times the
springs were the favorite bathing resort
of the noble families of the Tepaneca,
Alcolhua and other tribes that
lived in that region.
On both sides of the chief spring
there are huge rocks with hieroglyphics
and the figures of women beautifully
carved. 1 Judging from the robes
worn by the women, their stately appearance
and the jewels around their
necks, the figures must represent
princesses or ladies of very high rank.
The spring is at the entrance to a
grotto that has never been explored.
From the grotto a rumbling sound resembling
distant thunder is to be
heard all the time. According to natives,
the rumble is caused by the
ghost of King Excamina, who ruled
over that part of the country three
or four centuries before the Spaniards
discovered America.
King Excamina. the tradition says,
was as bad as man could be. He murdered
people merely for the (pleasure
of seeing them die and committed every
crime. He had his palace constructed
in another cave, which communicated
with that of the spring by
a tunnel. There Excamina, in company
with some of his favorites, had
orgies that lasted weeks and months.
Commercialism.
"Here is a poem that will rank with
the masterpieces of literature."
"You will insist on writing masterpieces!"
protested the publisher.
*1 suppose you would expect real money
for this."
"Its value could not be estimated
in dollars and cents."
"Why, Milton only got $25 for
'Paradise Lost.' "
"Oh, well, if you feel that way
about it, have your own way. Take
it along for $24.98."

i found fossilized remains of the famous
Hipparton horse of the Plio
cene Age. but until the .Mojave told
iits story to Prof. John Campbell Mer riam,
of the University of California
this country was thought to have
(been one of the newer lands where
j pliocene animals never roamed. The
i discovery gave proof to the theorj
tnat tne continents were cuuuetieu
and brought a tinge of authenticit}
to the cherished legend of the "vanished
bridge of land." The Mojavt
went further.
A world-wide search for the particular
species of Dobbin that ran wile
before the Hipparion had never filled
the gap in knowledge until the
California professor started digging
again in the .Mojave, the Thousand
Creeks, Virgin Valley and Mina fossil
fields of Nevada. Then was discovered
the horse of the middle 01
late Miocene Age, the great-grandaddy
of the Hipparion. and proof positive
that, so far as present research
can show, horses inhabited what is
now tfce Pacific coast before the}
trotted over the slopes of the "older'
continent.
The storv of the horse, as writter
in fossils today, means that they orig

The Governor Throws a Fit.
The subterfuge of throwing a fil
is as old as Aesoph's Fables, we be
lieve, and the story of the goat thai
got upon a high rock to taunt anc
challenge his enemy, we know, is in<
corporated in that storehouse of human
incentives.
If Governor Blease overheard a
man say in a drug store at Bamberg
yesterday that he was "going to heai
Blease speak today, as it would be
the last speech Blease would evei
make," why did he not confront the
"coward." as he afterward called hin
from the platform, and ask him thei
and there what he meant by his remark,
and hold him to personal account
for it?
Why wait until he got on the platform,
surrounded by police officers
and constables, and protected by the
crowd, to call the unknown man z
"coward," and challenge him to appear.
It is possible some person of sound
political judgment in Bamberg made
the remark that he was going to heai
Governor Blease speak, as it would
probably be the last speech of his political
career that the governor would
make, but if such a very likely speech
had been made, it was, no doubt, perfectly
innocent and entirely justified
by the probabilities presented by tht
present political outlook.
Of course, if the speaker had meanl
anything else, Governor Blease would
have called him down on the spot, il
he was anything like the valiani
swash-buckler he pretends, but it it
likely that it did not occur to him tc
make political capital out of it, in his
present desperate need, to divert attention
from his official record, until
he reached the stand, or until after
the incident occurred, at -all events
if it occurred at all.

sly." like Joey Bagstock, when it

HOW NATURE YIELDS ROWER.
1 Sun's Rays, Waterfalls, Tides, Wine
and Unmined Coal as Source.
In several ingenious ways the fore
es of nature are now exploited in or:
der to provide power for machinery
i .necessary for various human activi
jties. Such apparatus is especially fa.
Ivored by engineers, for not only can
: enormous power be obtained but the
i running expenses are extremely low.
-1 One of the most ingenious of these
i inventions is that which obtains pow
ler from the rays of the sun. The ap
[ paratus is at worn in tvgypi, wnere n
I pumps up water on to high levels in
thousands of gallons.
This novel device consists of a numr
ber of reflecting mirrors which coni
centrate the rays of the sun on to a
glass covered trough containing wat
er. In a short space of time this
[ water becomes sufficiently heated by
- the reflection from the mirrors to give
, off steam, which passes into a pipe tc
> an engine of the usual steam variety.
> When some 30 or 40 of these heat>
ing boxes are boiling i-ater by means
' of the sun's heat sufficient steam is
, obtained to keep a powerful pumping
engine at work with a minimum oi
- expense.
> Some idea of the enormous powei
which the sun machine conveys to th<
- engine can be guaged by the fact thai
I 3,000 gallons of water can be lifted
- 40 feet in one minute. In many in>
genious ways water is now trapped
; by means of dams, gigantic reservoirs
[ and great stretches of piping and con.
verted into power for various pur.
poses.
Many great waterfalls are now har.
nessed in such a fashion, two of the
. most noted being the falls of the
i Rhine and those of Niagara. The
; machinery used to obtain power fron:
: these great products of nature is
somewhat complicated, but roughh
speaking huge pipes divert tons ol
i water from the rapids just above the
. fall. The trapped water is then al.
lowed to fall some hundreds of feel
and the force of the fall produces
. enormous power. The falls of Niagare
t are made to produce little short o:
- 1,000,000 horsepower.
Still more ingenious is anothei
method of producing power from set
water by the rise and fall of the tides
portions of the coast where higl
t tides are the rule are chosen and i
' number of clefts in the cliffs an
t constructed or those of nature espeI
cially adapted. The water runs fai
* into the openings at nign uae ana di
means of pipes is trapped into huge
reservoir. When the tide falls hun
1 dreds of gallons of water are thus
> left behind. Being on a high leve
it is then a comparatively simple mat
J tei^to drop this water by means o:
pipes to a level many feet below and
1 utilize the power thu6 obtained by the
1 usual water jets acting on speciallj
1 constructed wheels.
Wind is still trapped and converted
into power by windmills, but these
machines are very different from th(
Id types of mill with its four big sails
* The modern windmill is a scientifical
- Iv constructed apparatus, the driving
i constructed apparatus, the driving
force consisting of a wheel containing
a number of steel blades, placed ai
1 such an angle that they respond tc
5 every puff of wind. So delicate is the
construction of these instruments thai
1 even a moderate breeze will whirl the
* large wheel around at many hundred
I revolutions a minute. This motioi
1 acts on a shaft which provides powei
for electric -dynamos below. These
1 machines are used mostly in coast
J towns or those situated on high levels
where wind blows more or less conctnnt
1 j One of the most ingenious projects
f for harnessing the forces of nature
: is that conceived by Sir William Ram[
say, and despite its daring nature il
? h$s been well received in high scien>
tific circles. His plan is to take the
heat of the earth's interior by means
I of huge bore holes. These shafts
" would be sunk deep into the earth, sc
. that they penetrated into large coal
seams. By means of electricity this
' coal would be fired until it burned
' like some powerful internal furnace
I By means of pipes the gas given ofl
! by this burning coal would be con
veyed to the surface and in various
ways utilized for power purposes
The advantage of this scheme is thai
power could be derived from coal as
it lay in its natural element and the
cost of mining it and bringing it uf
: would be avoided.?Washington Dis>
