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.
Above the base of this steel cone, and
separated therefrom bv a snace no
greater than the thickness of a piece
of paper is an electrical contact.
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-

This invention which has been
brought to a stage of commercial
practicability, has been evolved by a
young Danish engineer, H. 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.

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

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

and vegetables to fruition. Every
muddy stream tells ts own story of
slutting banks and sliding soil.

IT'S ALWAYS BAD.
The Best of Backs Are Bad When

, Know It.
A bad back is always bad.
Bad at night when bedtime comes,
Just as bad in the morning.
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. By
the time I had used half of one box,
there was so much improvement that
it seemed almost unnecessary to take
any more, but I finished the box to
make sure of a permanent cure."

so he might as well enjoy his fun to
