CATCH THE LEADERS Heads of Mexican Revolution are Now In Custody TRAVELED AS PREACHERS After Daily Sweating The Break Down and Confeaa to Their Part , in Stirring up the Troublei-Find , Key to Secret Code. r THE MORNING ASTOWAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. i MCXICO CITY, July IS. The recent tiprlinjr in the northern part of Mexico were Incited by two Mexi can agenu of the junta in the United State, who traveled dioguiied 1 Daptiftt minister or miionarici. Thee men, Eulalio Trevino and Conine I'ena, were recently captured at the town of Vanegm in the itate of San LuU Pototi: They were brought to thi city an dthe authori ties daily submitted them' to a tweat lug proceit and it waa then that a con feMinn waa finally forced from them. According to the admission in the deposition! taken, Eulalio Trevino wa preiiident of a Mexican revolu tionary club in San Antonio which waa aubnidiary to the junta at St. LouU. lie came to Mexico under the name of Lcopoldo Villareal and worked hit way among the aympa- . thizeri of the juntai in the northern! Iurt of Mexico in the guine of a Bap-! tist minuter. He wai accompanied; by Cosine Pcna another of the gang and both were passing a preachers and holding meeting! . before small congregations in the State of Coa liuila and San Luis Pototi. After these meetings love feasts were held, In which only the elect remained, so to keep the authorities blind as to their real purposes. Trevino and Pcna were in direct communication with Magonr the leader who is now In the United States and from time lo time sent him remittances from collections made. Judge Preztleon, however, has brought out confes sions from them that a portion of their collections were fraudulently applied to their own use and that . they were using their connection with Magon to assist themselves in rob bery. An important discovery was the key which Trevino had in his pos session to a secret code believed to be that which Magon uses in com munication with his Mexican follow ing. Other documents have been found, the nature of which will not be made public. The infomation con tained therein will be made use of largely when Mexico appeals to the United States .for extradition of the participants in the recent raids in Coahuila.

Now, owing to the cone and Its needle being depended from the steel spring it is iflways vibratinir but not Mtflicicntly so as to strike the electri cal contact above, This is only ac complinhcd when the needle in pass mg over a raised portion of the met ure which is specially prepared for the purpose is lifted to an appreci ate extent, Then the contact is formed, the electrical connection is established and the 'impulse passes through the coils and the spark balls to the aerial and is dispatched on its passage through the air to be received by an Instrument which is simply a practical reversal of the sender- Technical World.

Flies cause, in New York Citv alone, about 650 deaths from typhoid fever and about 7,000 deaths yearly from other diseases. Last year a fly was captured on South street, In New York (not far from one of the city's ffiirest meat and fish markets). that was found to be carrying In his mouth and on his lees more than one hundred thousand disease bac teria. Flies walk over decaying and fetid matter, for which they have a natural affinity, and then, entering meat markets and homes, travel over the food, explore the milk pitcher. and also light directly on the skin of the householder.

Knudsen, now resident in London. Both the transmitter and receiver arc mounted upon small hollow, rectangular ped estals similar in appearance to the Hounding box of a phonograph and measuring only some two feet square, These contain the coil, . clock-work driving mechanism, coherer and other electrical details and connections. The lid of the boxes carry two small tables on which the-plates are damn d, and which travel synchronously in two horizontal directions, longit udinally and laterally. In this par ticular installation pictures no to five inches in length by four inches in breadth can be handled, but there is no limit to its accomplishments in this connection since it is merely a matter of increasing the dimensions of the table to accomodate the size of the picture to be dealt with. Above the traveling table carrying the picture to be dispatched stretches a fine strip of pliable steel suitably supported at cither end by adjustable screws, From the center of this spring depends an inverted steel cone finely balanced, from the down ward pointing apex of which projects a light lever carrying a very fine steel point which travels over the surface of the picture on the traveling table. merica's immeasurably greatest assether inland waterways, is be coming a pronounced menace to the continent's future prosperity, because, through slovenly farming and profli gate forest devaatations, the streams are now rushing unchecked to the seas, taking with them on their travels the best elements of the fcr tile lands of the farming valleys. At the present rate on most care ful estimates by the eminent scientist Dr. W. J. McCec, this soil waste is over a billion tons a year; an amount so stupendous that it is bevond now ers of human comprehension. It is worth to the farmers not less than a dollar , a ton and as the dangerous conditions are constantly increasing, the ownership of a Mississippi valley farm will soon be a burden rather than a blessing unless the devastation of the river slopes and watersheds be harply checked. Shifting bars on river bottoms mean lost farm land; rushing floods of muddy waters tell an eloquent story of piratical forcstation and slipshod agriculture. Every ounce of sediment in flowing streams means lost soil which should be lying be tween farm furrows bringing grain and vegetables to fruition. Every muddy stream tells ts own story of slutting banks and sliding soil. Farm outlines are being changed every twenty-four hours along those watercourses; the Father of Waters sweeping majestically to the south with thousands of tons of earth car rieu in the shape of sediment and with the richest soil salts held in solution for this river erosion robs the farm ers" b ythree processes; taking first the solid material which the currents roll seaward on the river bottoms; secondly by the quantities which flow in suspension as' a sediment, and last, by the soil, salts which disappear m solution.

Ever try Doan's Kidney Pills for it Know they cure backache cure every kidney ill? William McLarty, living at 16th and Washington streets, Oregon City, Ore., says: IJiad persistent back ache and pain through the loins that seemed to never let up, At night I could not find a comfortable position or get any restful sleep on account of the continual aching and as a result, I lost energy. I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills curing others of similar troubles a'nd I procured a box.
