The slow tees of this same public ia lashing pther kinds of transgression betrays, aot sycophancy or unthinking admira tion of success, but perplexity, says E. A. Ross in Atlantic. The prosperous evildoers that bask undisturbed In pop ular favor have been careful to ahum or seem to shun the familiar types of wickedness. Overlooked in Bible and prayerbook, their obliquities lack the brimstone smell. Surpass as their misdeeds amy ia meanness and cruel ty, there has not yet been time enough to store up strong emotion about them, and so the sight of them 'oes aot loose the food of wrath and abhorrence that rushes down upon the Pong-attained sins.

The enormous range of the Maxim torpedo is a great desideratum, for it will then bring the range of the tor pedo up to that of the guns which will be opposed to It "Summing up for the aew motorlte propelled torpedo, I am sura of pro ducing a greater efficiency due to long er range, more uniform speed aad higher speed during the entire run; inexpensiveness, as the high cost sir flask Is done away with; greater safe ty on shipboard, as the highly charged air flask 2,250 pounds to the square inch makes the torpedo a huge bomb if struck by a shot from the enemy. and the great item of saving the ex pense of 'sir compressors now Instslled on torpedo boats.

By devising a torpedo propelled by steam generated la the burning of high explosives carried within it in concentrated form, Hiram Maxim has concluded experiments from which he asserts that the range t naval torpedoes will be doubled aad naval warfare revolutionised. To meet the demand that torpedoes must have effective range equal to the gunffre to which the attacking torpedo boat would be subjected, Mr. Maxim bums motorlte. a aew explosive, to generate steam at a high and by this means the regulation naval :orpedo Is made much more efficient than when driven by compressed sir, he motive power now generally used. In his home in Brooklyn, Mr. Max m told of his latest invention. ENORMOUS SALT DEPOSIT. 15 Miles Long and Eight Found in Utah. Wide The Chinese have long been credited with the invention of gunpowder, but Prof. E. O. Von Llppmann, of Halle, has collected evidence to indicate that this is a mistake, and that the Arab nns did aot, as commonly stated, in troduce gunpowder into Europe dux lug the eighth and ninth centuries. jProfr Von Llppmann believes that the manufacture of the first gunpowder was based apoa the 'Tire-book" of Marcus Graecus. which appeared la Constaalaople about the middle of the thirteenth century. This was the source from which Roger Bacon, Al bertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas derived their knowledge of gunpowder. The first use of gunpowder to drive projectiles is ascribed to a monk, Berthold Schwarx, whose discovery was made accidentally while preparing the mixture for medicinal purposes. A St Louis typo, employed on oaf of the dallies of that city, put In type1 a paragraph describing the dress of s bride at a fashionable wedding. It caatalaed the amazing statement that :Mfhe bride's train, five years long, swept the aisle." Denver, Col. During 1906 wonder ful progress was made oa the con struction of the new Pacific coast line of the Denver ft Rio Grande Thirty nine tunnels are being bored through !he mountains. There is one 75-mlle-stretch of track that will cost $ltf ,f00 at mile to build. The object of this sxpenditure in construction is to obtain i direct and low-grade route through the mountains. Track Is already laid from Salt Lake City nearly to the Nevada state tine, a distance of nearly 90 miles. In California the track is laid Into Oak land and Stockton. It is believed the sntire. line through to the coast will be hi operation by January, 1909. Among the curious things encoun tered in the construction work is .an enormous deposit of pure salt found on the west side of the Utah desert pot far from the Nevada state line. This singular deposit is 15 miles long and eight miles wide. Excavations to a depth of more than six feet are still In solid salt The salt that has been found is suitable for stock, sad can be readily refined for table use. Unquestionably this section was once the bed of the great Salt lake, and even now may have a subterran ean connection with that mysterious body of water, more than a hundred miles distant - "In spite of the wonderful things that had been expected of the automo bile torpedo as an auxiliary arm In naval warfare," he said, "disappoint ment has been the result when it has been relied upon. The cause of this failure. and disappointment is because the deadly quick-firing gun has been developed to such a degree of perfec tion aad such great range that when the torpedo boat of an enemy comes to the attack it is sunk long before it can get anywhere near enough to be within torpedoing distance of a bat tleship. It is met with a storm of projectiles irom quick-firing guns which fly toward It with frightful ac curacy, and the range of these pro jectiles Is so much greater than that of the automobile torpedo that the tor pedo boat is destroyed In not much more time than Is needed to make this statement "In outward appearance my torpedo is no different from the regulation type, but a self-combustive material called motorlte. similar In composi tion to smokeless powder.

Alfred Weaver, of this city. has. in collaboration with John Edward Carney, and while en gaged in laboratory experiments la search of a aew coherer material for wireless telegraphy, discovered the art of hardening and temperiag the precious metals, such as platinum, gold and the like, without alloying them with other metals. The results obtained by Mr. Weav er's process are the eaormous reduc tion ia the fusing point of those metals and the Imparting to them of a degree of hardness In some iastaaces surpass ing that of the best tool steel when hardened. Platinum, one of the most refractory of metals, heretofore re quiring for Its fusion the oxyhydrogea flame, or the voltaic arc. is, after be ing subjected to the new process, easily melted before an ordinary gas oline blowpipe aad may be cast again melted and recast Indefinitely. So great a hardness Is imparted to these metals by Mr. Weaver's process that a piece of gold or platinum, for instance, can with the greatest diffi culty be abraded by the best steel file and a sphere of either of these metals of say two millimeters diameter, when placed upon a hardened steel anvil aad struck a sharp blow with an eight ounce steel hammer, will resist such a blow aad suffer only the slightest al teration in shape.

It is the man behind the manger, and not the cattle, who Is responsible for the spread or the prevention of tuberculosis. A good airy old-fashioned stable Is better thaa science which Is not reenforced by the full est supervision of all the conditions under which the cattle are kept While it may not be advisable on the large farm to compost manure, the same being drawn directly to the land as fast as made, the small farmer and the truck gardener can greatly increase the quantity of avail able plant food by having a well ar ranged compost heap.

A HORSE GETS A LIFE PENSION. Pete of Fairbanks First Horse in Tan ana Valley, Alaska. Seattle. Wash. Pete of Fairbanks Is probably the first horse in Alaska to be retired at the age of 12 years on a life pension. Pete is also the .first horse ever taken into the Tanana val ley. Pete arrived in the city from the north the other day in charge of H. E. Gardner, of Fairbanks, who brought the horse down .for his owner, Ed. Rocker, of Cleary Creek. Pete was one of the original discoverers of Pedro creek, the find which made Fairbanks and helped to found Beck er's fortunes. When the Pedro and Gilmore party went into the Fairbanks country from Circle City in the fall of 1901 Pete was one of the expedition, lioned as a pack horse by Mr. Becker. For this consideration when the famous Pedro creek was located a claim was staked lor Becker. This was the foundation j of his fortunes. Later he acquired a fraction between 11 and 12 on Cleary creek, and to-day Mr. Becker Is worth $150,000. Everybody in Fairbanks knows Pete. He is a fine horse and just in his prime. He has been used for pack ing ' and odd jobs about Becker's claims, but now his master has de cided the horse has- earned enough for both, and intends to give him a good time for the rest of bis days. Pete was tired from his last long trip. Mr. Gardner drove the horse 376 miles, and arrived on the coast just in time' to catch the Pennsylvania. Dog Went to School.

How to Clean Cloth Coat A lawn cloth coat or waistcoat can be cleaned satisfactorily at home by rubbing the garment over with pul verized fuller's earth, using a small, dry sponge or rubber skin brush for the purpose. When every inch has been gone over carefully the garment should be put away in a box, taking rare to leave the powder in it and should be left untouched for three or four days. At the end of that time it should be taken out aad well brushed and beaten. An Artist's Discouragement "Why shouldn't the stage be made a great educational influence?" inquired the earnest man.

This Is due to the puddling of the soil which so modifies its physical texture as to lock up the plant food which it contains. A one-year test of Jersey cows by state experiment stations has shown that the average time the cows were ta milk was 347 days, the average milk yield of 115 cows was 7,521 pounds, the average per cent of fat In the milk was 5,382 per cent, the average yield of fat 402 pounds, and the average of cows was three years and nine months. Here is a sure cure for cholera in chickens .recommended by one who has tried it: Mix a half-pound of smoking tobacco in dry ground feed; moisten a little and then feed.

A Wisconsin farmer's method of getting a good stand of clover is to sow a nurse crop in the spring with his clover seed on finely pulverized land worked down solid. He plants from two to three quarts of Alsike clover seed to the acre and from four to five quarts of red clover seed to the acre. After the crop is seeded during .the first year he leaves it en tirely alone, keeping stock off and in the fall the grain is allowed to come to maturity. A campaign of education is going on In Missouri and great things in the poultry line may be expected of that state in the near future.

The object is to stimulate the production of more and better poultry and to introduce more eco nomic and effective methods 'of caring Lumpy jaw, so called, is a tumor of more or less rapid growth that does not always occur on the boviae jaw or head.

A full description of the disease and treatment may be ob tained free by readers of Meadow brook Farm Notes by addressing the Bureau of Animal Industry Washing ton, D. C, and asking for Circular 96. The Association of Pork Butchers in Holland has recently published the results of some trials conducted at several government experiment sta tions with the object of testing the relative value of different meals, es pecially maize, barley meal, oatmeal and buckwheat meal, for the fatten ing of pigs. The trial was made with 48 young pigs, all of the same age and weight, divided into fear lots. The animals of each lot received, re spectively, as much as they would eat of the different meals, aad ia ad dition they all had dally a supply ofJ skim milk and some potatoes. After they were killed aa examination of the carcasses showed that the flesh of the pigs fattened oa anise was not as firm or salable as that of the pigs fed on the other "meals.- This result is the same as has been report ed from trials in America aad Can ada, and Is worth noting. It would appear that maize Is a good food for growing pigs, but that other meals should be substituted, either in part or altogether, during the last month or two of the fattening process. In setting out trees the following method will give good results: Make the hole two feet or more ia diame ter and eight to 12 inches deep, as size of tree may indicate Place rich top soil la one pile and the subsoil in another. Cut out all broken or in. jured roots from the trees to be set and freshen the ends of the sound roots with a slanting cut from be low upward so that the fresh sur face will rest on the soil. Whea the roots are ia their natural position, sec the trees in the center of the 'hole and carefully fill in around the roots with the best of the top soil taken out sifting it from the -edge of the shovel and working it betweea the roots with the fingers, shaking the tree meanwniie to get the earth in every crevice between the roots Whs the roots, are fairly covered tramp firmly, then fill in with the poorer, .or subsoil, tramping it firmly as it is put in place. The tree when set should stand little, if any deeper than it grew in the nursery row. The firmed earth should be banked around the tree to shed water. About a third of the top should be cut tak ins out weak and unsuccessful limbs shortening in the good ones so as to balance the top with the roots that have been cut away. iV 1$ V sv3gflSfisTffiTyfiRysM - J- -.
