We had the huge rooms in which the Roosevelt collections are stored all to ourselves. Colonel Roosevelt spoke freely about his trip and told many anecdotes in connection therewith which do not appear in his book and which he did not tell in his lecture before the National Geographic Society. It is hard to describe adequately the enthusiasm of the Oyster Bay hunter over the natural history treasures which his expedition had secured for the National Museum and which, much to the Colonel's delight, had arrived in splendid condition, due largely to the hard, driving, painstaking work of Edmond Heller and J. Alden Loring and Dr. Mearns in preparing the specimens under the heat of an African sun and with only natives to help them in their delicate and difficult task. The first visit of the colonel was paid to the part of the museum where the elephant, the rhinoceros and the hippopotamus hides in their crude form are stowed away awaiting the day when they will be mounted and made to appear in natural form in the great exhibition hall. The colonel stopped before the skin of one gigantic elephant. The hide had been placed on a huge table which it covered completely while the "overflow" went to the floor and stretched out for some distance in every direction. "This," said Mr. Roosevelt, "is an elephant which I had the hardest kind of work to shoot. I labored for hours under the blistering sun to get within certain killing range, for the specimen was a fine one and I wanted to be sure that I could add it THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 28. 1911. ROOSEVELT VIEWS TROPHIES OF HUNT BY EDWARD B CLARK COPYRIGHT BY W A PATTERSON NEW NATIONAL MUSEUM Colonel Roosevelt seemed to find special delight.

Dr. Edward A. Mearns who is a surgeon of the United States. army, but now on the retired list, did most of the collecting of feathered big game and small game. Dr. Mearns is one of the world's foremost ornithologists. While he was stationed with the troops in the far west he made a special study of the birds of the sections in which he happened to be and on several occasions he was authorized by Uncle Sam to join scientific expeditions on DJK-DIK AND WATER BUFFALO to the museum's collection. Finally I got a shot and down went the monster. I turned with a shout of rejoicing to Heller, who was near me. Heller went over and examined the elephant and then turned to me with a grave face and said, 'Colonel this elephant died of apoplexy. You missed him a mile.' Heller keeps on telling that story and I am willing, for he gets lots of fun out of it. All I have to say is if the elephant dropped dead of apoplexy at the instant I fired it was the most considerate elephant that ever roamed Africa." In the African fields there are thirty or forty species of antelopes, one, the giant eland, is bigger than an ox, and it inhabits a fever stricken territory in which only a few hunters and those of the hardest kind will venture. The colonel is exceedingly proud of the giant elands which he secured and which are now in possession of the museum and in perfect condition for eventual mounting for show purposes. One of the antelopes which the expedition secured has a remarkable hide. Colonel Roosevelt spent a long time examining and admiring this specimen. The skin is iridescent and as you turn it at different angles to the light it sent forth colors of blue, green, red and purple. It has a watered silk effect, but perhaps no watered silk that woman ever wore held such a marvelous combination of hues. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, who is now, as has been said, the head of the Harriman Zoological Foundation, was the first man to suggest to Theodore Roosevelt that after he retired from the presidency he ought to go to Africa to collect specimens for the National Museum. Credit for the suggestion was given Dr. Merriam by Mr. Roosevelt in his lecture before the National Geographic Society. It is probable that Dr. Merriam is the foremost authority in the United States on several branches of natural science. He is particularly interested in bears and it was by him that comparisons were made of bear skulls by which recently a separation of species was made where It was not known definitely that a difference existed. It must have been fully a century ago that an English scientist hunter who had secured a specimen of the cane brake bear declared that it was a species distinct from the ordinary black bear of the eastern United States, the bear known to every dweller in the eastern region remote from the populous centers. There was a dispute among scientists about the matter and it never definitely was settled, the general opinion remaining that the cane brake bear was simply the ordinary black bear of the Alleghenies, the Adirondacks and the woods of Michigan, Wisconsin and Maine. When Colonel Roosevelt killed his specimens of the cane brake bear he examined them and came to the conclusion that the Englishman who had separated it as a species was right. The colonel to put the matter to the test sent the skulls of the bears he had killed to Dr. Merriam, who put in a lot of painstaking study comparing them with the skulls of the ordinary black bear and it was found the Englishman who had contended for separate species was right. If it had not been for the Roosevelt study and his determination to submit the matter to the test science probably would still be holding to the belief that the eastern United States have only one species of the bruin tribe. In the bear room of the museum Mr. Roosevelt saw the skulls of the species which he was instrumental in giving a separate place to and he saw the skulls of every bear known to the world. To the laymen present these skulls were nothing but skulls and originally they might have formed the head bones of any kind of an animal, but scientists can pick up a bone of any kind and not only tell what it game from, but from it can construct the entire naimal. In the room set aside for the present as a storage place for the collection of African birds NEW NATIONAL MUSEUM Colonel Roosevelt seemed to find special delight.

It is well known that in a general way the more soberly clad birds are the best songsters. For instance, take the hemit thrush and the mocking bird of America. They are both dressed in homespun, but they have voices of the kind which people call "fortunes in themselves." There are some sober clad birds in the tropics and there as elsewhere they are the better singers. Colonel Roosevelt seemed to find special delight.

O which is about the size of a red-winged black bird, the swamp blackbird known to every country boy. The shrike preys on smaller birds, on mice and on big insects which it empaples on thorns after making a meal, in the case of birds and mice, of the brains of the quarry. The shrike is dressed in soft grays and while rather a handsome bird it is by no means of brilliant attire. The African shrikes which Dr. Mearns collected and in which Theodore Roosevelt showed a marked interest on the day in which he went through the museum, are perhaps among the most brilliant colored birds of the world. They are not unlike the American scarlet tanager only the scarlet is of the kind that seems to burn the sight. Colonel Roosevelt has been having a litter controversy with Scientist Abbott H. Thayer over the question of the protective coloration of The African shrikes which Dr. Mearns collected and in which Theodore Roosevelt showed a marked interest on the day in which he went through the museum, are perhaps among the most brilliant colored birds of the world. They are not unlike the American scarlet tanager only the scarlet is of the kind that seems to burn the sight. Colonel Roosevelt has been having a little controversy with Scientist Abbott H. Thayer over the question of the protective coloration of birds and mammals. Mr. Thayer, in a general way, thinks that most animals have a coloration which protects them in a measure from discovery. It is known that this is perfectly true of some kinds of wild creatures, but Mr. Thayer thinks that even brilliantly plumaged birds are protected. Colonel Roosevelt on the day of his visit to the museum held up one of the shrikes in its scarlet attire and said ironically, "There's a fine example of protective coloration." Looking at the bird one might readily believe that against a background of green leaves it would be the first object in the landscape to attract attention. There are storks in the African collection. I think that three species were included in the captures. Now it must be understood that when the expedition went into Africa it was agreed that there should be no killing beyond the actual needs of science except of course when it was necessary to kill game to supply the game table with food. The rule was that when a certain number of mammals or birds of each kind had been killed the shooting must stop and the number fixed was very small, although of course this regulation did not apply to destructive animals like the beasts of prey, mice and other crop destroying rodents. The rule which Mr. Roosevelt insisted upon and in which the others readily acquiesced was lived up to the letter. When Dr. Mearns had secured a fixed number of storks he wanted to get one more because he thought there was some point which might be decided if he could add another stork to the collection. He told Colonel Roosevelt he was going to kill another stork. The colonel laughed and said, so it is reported: "Not on your life." Mr. Roosevelt's anti-race suicide pronouncement may account for his devotion to the interests of the stork. When we were ready to leave the museum Dr. C. Hart Merriam, who has made a careful study of the collection brought back from Africa, turned to Colonel Roosevelt and said: "There can be no possibility of mistake in saying that the expedition which you led was the means of giving to the National Museum the finest and most valuable collection of African animals which exists in the whole world. Science has profited immensely as the result of your labors." STORY OF A BIBLE Heirloom Which Caused a Feud in the Bilger Family. Ownership of This 180-Year-Old Book Has Been in Bitter Dispute for a Century—Printed in German Philadelphia, Pa.—The picture below shows. a. 180-year-old family Bible, the possession of which has been in such bitter dispute for a century that a veritable feud has been caused in the Bilger family of Selinsgrove, Pa. and the hostilities reached a degree of violence not long ago, when Frederick Bilger ran away with the 56-pound book, and thereby accomplished the sole purpose of a journey from his home in Sloux City. This picture played a very important part in the recent purloring of the family Bible. In fact, the photographing of the heirloom was the ruse Frederick Bilger worked to get custody of the heavy book. Franklin Bilger of Philadelphia, who inherited the Bible from his deceased father, left it in the care of his mother, Mrs. Wilson A. Herman, of Selinsgrove, who married a second time. Bilger came to the Herman home and asked his sister if he might take the Bible to a local photograph gallery. He said he wanted to have a picture taken of the heirloom. Mrs. Herman was suspicious of the brother's promise to return the Bible, but she finally agreed that the heirloom might be taken from her home provided her husband accompanied Bilger. That condition was one on which Bilger had not figured, but he, proved equal to the occasion. He had a horse and buggy ready for the drive to the photographer's, and upon their return to the Herman home Bilger stopped the vehicle just long enough for Herman to put his foot on the buggy step. Then Bilger whipped the horse, and dashed away with the Bible in the buggy. Herman's trousers caught on the step and he was dragged several yards. A warrant was sworn out for Bilger's arrest on charges of assault and robbery, but the crafty westerner succeeded in double-crossing a constable, and late that night trudged into the Sunbury station, the heavy Bible 180 Years Old. Bible on his shoulder, and boarded a train for his home. Mrs. Herman's son, Franklin Bilger, of Philadelphia, put the case in the hands of an attorney, and word was sent to Sloux City for the arrest of Bilger. Before arriving at his home, however, Bilger reconsidered the matter, and returned the book to Mrs. Herman. The Bible was printed in German 180 years ago, and is 17 inches long, 11 inches wide and 14 inches thick. HOW THEY MARRY FOR MONEY Different Prices Necessary to Get a Husband Among Certain Classes in New York. New York.—There are 5,000 Jewish marriage brokers in New York city and most of them make a good living in finding partners for the matrimonially-incined. The price is going up all the while. The old scale no longer attracts young Hebrews to wedlock. One time $100 was considered a good bonus for a girl to pay for a husband; it has been going up until it is $500. Saloonkeeping ranks about the lowest of all on the broker's list, yet, only a few days ago, a young man, two years out of Russia, an assistant barkeeper, refused even to look at a girl with $1,000. He expected $3,000. A medical school graduate will not marry unless $3,000 goes with the girl. An ordinary college graduate now demands $2,000. A medical, legal or dental beginner, with no practice at all, insists upon $3,000 in the marriage market, while one with an established professional business expects to receive anywhere from $6,000 to $2,500 through the "schatchen." It is a mistake to assume that only the poor Hebrews arrange their marriages on a business basis. The custom is general among all classes. Muskogee, Okla.—The per capita wealth of the Indian is approximately $2,130, that for other Americans is only a little more than $1,300. The lands owned by the Indians are rich in oil, timber and other natural resources of all kinds. Some of the best timber land in the United States is owned by Indians. The value of their agricultural lands runs up in the millions. The ranges which they possess support about 500,000 sheep and cattle, owned by lessees, bringing in a revenue of more than $272,000 to the various tribes besides providing feed for more than 1,500,000 head of horses, cattle, sheep and goats belonging to the Indians themselves. Practically the only asphalt deposits in the United States are on Indian lands. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

HOW TO WEIGH THE EARTH Simple Method Adopted by a Celebrated English Savant for Estimating Globe's Weight. Washington.—We know the size of this planet, so we know how many gallons of water could go into the space it occupies. Well, all those gallons would weigh just about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons. One billion billions of tons! Now the earth isn't made of water only, but of rocks and metals and sand and a thousand other things. How many times heavier would it be when all these things are allowed for? To use the scientific word—what is the density of the earth? The best way of making such a measurement was invented in 1795 by a celebrated English savant, Henry Cavendish. Cavendish's method was an indirect one. The force that draws a body to the earth—its weight—is a manifesta- Welghing the Earth. tion of the power known as gravitation. We know how to measure this power, and everybody is familiar with its manifestations. Everybody, on the earth or off, attracts every other body. The amount of the attraction depends only on the mass of the two bodies that attract each other and the distance between them. Cavendish eliminated the earth as a distributing factor by making his two bodies attract each other in a horizontal direction. The earth's attraction is, of course, vertical. He took a long, thin stick, very light and six feet in length, and suspended it horizontally by a silver wire fastened to its middle. To each end of the rod he attached little balls or knots of lead. The bodies that were to attract these two knobs were two big balls of lead. He arranged his apparatus so that at a given signal he could bring the large balls close up to knobs at the ends of the stick, one on one side of the knob, one on the other side of the knob at the other end. He found that when he did this each knob drew toward the big lead ball near it, swinging the wooden rod round on its wire support. With delicate instruments he measured how much the rod and the wire twisted out of place. Thus he could tell what was the force of attraction—the force of gravitation—pulling the knobs toward the lead balls. He knew how much the earth would attract the little knobs—that is, he knew their weight; he knew how much material there was in the large lead balls he used, the ratio of the quantity of material in the earth to the quantity in the balls of lead followed from the simple laws established by Isaac Newton. BREAKS AIRWOMEN'S RECORD Daring Mile. Mavingt Makes Greatest Long-Distance Flight in a French Aeroplane. Paris.—The world of sport is bowing at the feet of a new idol. This time it is a daring woman. Miss Marvingt is her name and she has broken the record for long-distance flights for women in an aeroplane by performing a journey of 27 miles at Mournmelon, in a flight which lasted 53 minutes. Miss Marvingt in Her Aeroplane. Miss Marvingt, who is a pupil of Latham, has also distinguished herself in another element, for she is a well-known swimmer and not long ago defeated some champions of the water at Toulouse. Three years ago she swam through Paris in the Seine. She is also something of a mountaineer. When she made her record flight the air was intensely cold and she wore a kind of fur sack of Latham's invention, similar to those used by Arctic explorers and gold diggers in the north. She flew at a height of about 130 feet. Several times the aeroplane lurched dangerously, the wind being troublesome; but she succeeded in righting it every time. The flight was made for a cup offered by a French newspaper. $2.40 PER YEAR Four Armed Men Watch Body of Dead Scientist Leader. Precautions Taken to Prevent Act of Vandalism — Church Head Believed in Admonition, "Pray, but Keep Your Powder Dry." Boston—The tomb of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy in Mount Auburn cemetery is being guarded carefully day and night, to protect it from possible vandals, by four armed guards selected by the directors of the Christian Science church in Boston. The guards are members of the Christian Science church and are known to be of entirely trustworthy character. Certain members of the First Church of Christ Scientist of New York city have protested against the maintenance of an armed guard, but this is being ignored. The protest sets forth that the action of the directors is comparable to that of the authorities of Jerusalem, who set a guard at the tomb of Jesus Christ. They contend that the placing of an armed guard shows lack of faith. The guards work in pairs with two shifts of 12 hours each. It has been generally understood that they live while on duty shut up in the tomb. This is not necessary if they do not desire to do so. If the weather permits and they prefer it the guards remain outside the tomb near enough to keep it in plain view. Neither do the men take any meals in the tomb unless they desire to do so. Sometimes when the weather is severe the guards carry their lunch-eon with them and eat in the tomb. The men sleep at their homes, where they have at least two meals each 12 hours. A good deal of the time the guards while on duty remain in a small wood-en room that has been constructed in WALLS RELATIVE POSITION OF MEN BOOTS CANOPY ELECTRIC LIGHTS GATES TO WALL ROOM WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW WINDOW CARVED WINDOW OVER ROOM MARK GUARDING BY PASS OUTDOOR OF TOWER TELEPHONE OVER ROOM OUTTRAIR DOORS IN TOMB How the Eddy Tomb is Guarded. the outer room of the receiving vault. The little room is about ten feet long, eight feet wide and seven feet high. There is a door in one side. Through a tiny square window fitted with a slide the guards may look through the grated inner doors into the catacombs. Through an opposite window of the same kind they may gaze toward the outer door of the vault. The receiving vault is 25 feet wide, about twice as deep and divided into two compartments. To reach the outer compartment one goes through a decorated double gate of metal. The caskets are placed on either side of the long room with a corridor between them about ten feet in width. The vault has a capacity of 60 caskets. Just how long the casket of Mrs. Eddy will remain there has not yet been determined, but the guards will stay as long as the casket remains. "This precaution on the part of the Christian Science church," said one of the members, "is in keeping with the usual wisdom of that body and exemplifies the fact that Christian scientists are rational. "In this world every sensible person takes reasonable precaution. Mrs. Eddy was careful and was noted for her foresight. She believed in fire insurance and approved of every business and personal safeguard. She evidently believed in the old admonition, 'Pray, but keep your powder dry!' "In the matter of guards for Mrs. Eddy's tomb, every sensible person will approve of it. The acts of vandalism which have in the past been perpetrated after the deaths of noted persons would justify this precaution. "No doubt the directors felt that they would be derelict in their trust if they did not safeguard the remains of Mrs. Eddy. "The directors adopted what seemed the simplest and most effective way of doing it." Rich Kansas Negro Hutchinson, Kan—A few days ago John W. Thomas, a negro, planked down something like $10,000 cash for a piece of farming land south of Hutchinson. Thomas also closed the deal about the same time for the sale of a farm southwest of town for $15,000. Thirty years ago Thomas went to Kansas without a dollar and took odd jobs such as he could get. But unlike the majority of his people, he did not stay in the city, but sought the country and began farming. Today Thomas is worth not less than $50,000, owns a couple of farms and some city property, has a touring car and enjoys other luxuries of life. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

Alfred Lawless, Jr., a member of the faculty of Straight University had an article in the New Orleans Times-Democrat recently on the "Drawing of the Color Line," and among other things he said: "Whatever may be the opinion of others concerning the drawing of the color line in the South, the thoughtful Negro has accepted it as a fixed principle, realizing that the race has absolutely nothing to fear or lose by separation." Lawless was promptly answered by Mr. R. L. Desdunes, who in a communication to the same paper literally E. HLEE CORR. RT. REV. ABRAM GRANT. Bishop of the A. M. E.

One of the worst results of the color line is the fact that it has developed a number of cheap Negroes who for a consideration, or the approval of Caucasians, are ready to accept segregation with its degradation, humiliation, injustice and wrong. The segregation laws of Louisiana require that the accommodations on common carriers shall be equal but it is a notorious fact that they are not. "Every Negro must understand her now, right off, once and forever, the Southern people will never, ever for an instant, agree that the black race is the equal of the white."—Ne Orleans Times-Democrat. "The States said years ago, the fir and most important step towards a solution of the Negro problem should be the withdrawal of the right of sufrage to the Negroes by abrogating Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution."—New Orleans States. These laws were not passed for the reason that Southerners are anxious to avoid close proximity to Afro-Americans, for servants are allowed, under the law, to ride in the same car with the whites. The idea, which is to humiliate the race, is clearly expressed by H. D. Wilson, author of the Louisiana Jim Crow car law, who said: "It is not only the desire to separate the whites and black on the railroads for the comfort it will provide, but also for the moral effect. The separation of the races is one benefit, but the demonstration of the superiority of the white man over the Negro is a greater thing. There is nothing which shows it more conclusively than the compelling of Negroes to ride in cars marked for their especial use." The Jim Crow system on the street cars of New Orleans is so flagrant an injustice that an indignant protest was voiced by Rev. J. F. Thomas, a Chicago minister during the meeting of the National Baptist Convention in that city last September and the body representing 3,000,000 Afro-American Baptists went on record as opposing New Orleans as the city for the Panama Canal celebration, unless the law was repealed. Before the war there was no public school system worthy of the name. The system was organized during reconstruction days by Afro-Americans and was at its best when one of the race, a Mr. Brown, was state superintendent of public instruction. Then there was a square deal for every child residing in the state, but under the present law, while Caucasian children have primary, intermediate and high schools, Afro-American children can go no higher than the fifth grade. Of course the pupils after leaving the fifth grade may enter Straight University, but if the ideas held by Prof. Lawless are to be inculcated, it would be better for them to cease trying to get an education, they'd be far better off without such rot in their minds. Here are some Louisiana opinions of the race: "The people of the South are convinced that the Negro is inferior to the whites in every essential of manhood. The South objects to placing Negroes in official positions, where they will have to come in contact with white men and women, for the reason it is degrading to them to have to accord to the Negro that personal respect that is due to one holding a high official position"—Former Senator S.

There were no marks of violence and the supposition is he had frozen to death. Grove was born a slave, about 60 years ago. Sometimes in the 70s he came to Montana and located several mining claims, and then went through Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Maryland and Kentucky selling brilliantly lithographed mining stock to Afro-Americans. His story of easy riches appealed to the gullible and every cent they could raise was put into stock being sold by him. He made several trips east and became a millionaire. od at Kansas City, Kan., Last Sunday, Bishop Grant arose to the highest was his first cradle, for it was there just been sold, was on the way home of Paul Quinn College, in Texas, and Wilberforce University. "Every Negro must understand here, now, right off, once and forever, that the Southern people will never, even for an instant, agree that the black race is the equal of the white."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The States said years ago, the first and most important step towards a solution of the Negro problem should be the withdrawal of the right of suffrage to the Negroes by abrogating the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution."—New Orleans States. It ought to be patent to every sensible man that people who have such opinions of the race will not give the Afro-American a square deal and the unjust laws they have enacted prove it. It may be that some Afro-Americans have accepted segregation as a fixed principle, but they are certainly not thoughtful men, the real thoughtful, far-seeing men of the race have not done so and they have determined to protest against any encroachment upon their rights to the end. TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION. Our Caucasian brother is justly proud of his intelligence and has a very special contempt for the ignorance of the Afro-American. He is vastly tickled whenever the Afro-American perpetrates some very absurd and ridiculous thing and seems to think that such things justify him in disfranchisements and lynchings. But in this case, as in some others, there are two sides to the question. For instance way up in Massachusetts, not far from Boston, the Holy Rollers introduced a new religion, which we presume was acceptable to Dr. Eliot, Emeritus President of Harvard University. Being convinced that the end of the world was at hand, they sold, gave away or threw away all their possessions and gathered in their tabernacle to await the event which did not transpire. Again, Mr. Jenkins of Kentucky recently visited Chicago and was interviewed by a local reporter. He gave the following account of the religious development of the mountaineers of Eastern Kentucky: "The ignorant man, who find no other 'calling or election sure,' follow apostolic teaching, 'take nothing for their journey, no scrip, no money in their purse.' Among such are found those who boast while preaching 'that they have no' larnin' and thank God that they have never run up ag'in a college wall." Such men as these exhort the people to praise God in the pea-sal-tree, by which is meant psaltery." The Persian government has raised its voice to appeal to the whole world for justice against Great Britain and Russia. All over the world people are protesting against injustice and wrongs. The Afro-American in the South is satisfied with his jim-crow condition, at least he is not making any protest. M. are, Frozen to Death in Montana. millionaire mining promoter, was found burg, recently, by T. D. Smith, a half violence and the supposition is he had slave, about 60 years ago. Sometimes located several mining claims, and then secession, Maryland and Kentucky selling to Afro-Americans.

A novel and effective knife sharpener has been devised by a New York man. It is more pretentious than the ordinary sharpening stone used in most kitchens, but is said to give more satisfaction. A small iron vise clamps to the edge of the table, and Novel Knife Sharpener. upright in the vise are two triangular sharpening steels held by thumb-screws. The knife is drawn back and forth between the steels, thus being sharpened evenly on both sides at once. The steels being triangular, different edges may be brought into use as others become dull, and it can easily be seen that the life of the device at this rate will be a long one, more especially as the sharpening process wears down the knives rather than the steels. Furthermore, when the upper half of the steels is worn, they may be turned end for end and a new surface provided. BIG WINDMILL IN CALIFORNIA Giant Wind Propelled Machine Located in Magnificent Golden Gate Park Near Ocean. San Francisco, Cal., enjoys the distinction of possessing the biggest windmill in America. This giant wind propelled piece of machinery is located in the extreme western borders of the magnificent Golden Gate Park, not far from the beach of the Pacific Ocean. The windmill is used to pump water up into several large reservoirs that are placed in different locations about the center of the park grounds. The immense vanes have a capacity of from 75 to 100 horsepower. The extreme ends of the vanes describe a A Great Windmill. circle 200 feet in diameter and swing around rapidly and with great force. The total cost of erecting this great windmill was about $30,000. Removing Grease from Metal. Electricity is used in Germany for removing grease from metallic objects. When the meal is used as negative pole in a hot solution of potash or soda lye, sheet iron or pieces of carbon forming the positive, the oil is driven away in a few minutes. It was at first supposed that the alkali transformed the fatty matter into soap. Investigation by Barth, however, has shown that paraffin and other oily substances that cannot be saponified are removed very quickly by the electric current, and the explanation seems to be that the bubbles of hydrogen set free act mechanically to drive off the particles of oil. The action takes place only when the fatty matter is liquid. Testing Propellers. The testing apparatus for flying machine propellers erected by the Vickers company at Barrow-in-Furness, England, consists of a whirling arm, 166 feet long, mounted on Ball-bearings in a cast iron column. Mounted at the longer end of the arm, the propeller, 110 feet from the mast, is driven, through gears and shafting by a 100-horse power electric motor. The propeller, revolving 350 to 1,000 times per minute, can drive the arm 70 miles an hour. Strength of Nickel Steel. A test of nickel steel riveted joints made from four different kinds of commercial nickel steel showed the strength of nickel steel to be about two and a quarter times as high as that of joints riveted with wrought iron or mild steel rivets. The advantage thus gained more than counteracts increased cost. Substitute for Celluloid "Resinite" is the name of a new substance invented in Germany, useful as a substitute for celluloid and ivory. It renders wood, paper and pasteboard impenetrable, and makes pine, for example, so hard that it rapidly dulls a planer. ODD WAY TO SECURE COPPER Tin Cans and Old Iron Junk Utilized to Catch Valuable Metal Going to Waste in Water. There are many kinds of mines and numerous inventions for saving precious metals, but perhaps the strangest method ever devised came to light in Butte, Mont. When mines were discovered in Butte, it was found that the water contained in the fissures was strongly impregnated with copper, so much so, indeed, that iron cages, cars and tools, of all kinds were quickly destroyed by the affinity of the copper for the iron. Only a few weeks' immersion in the water reduced a mass of iron to pulp, a fact that made it necessary for all material used in the mine and composed of iron or steel to be replaced at frequent intervals. For a long time the water pumped out of the mine went to waste, as no method was known of extracting the copper from it. After a while, however, a discovery was made that was utilized to good advantage. Some tin cans found their way into the small stream. In a short time it was noticed that they had ever appearance of being made of pure copper, so thickly were they coated with that metal. They were regarded as curiosities by all who saw them, but presently one man saw further than "curiosity"—he saw the use. He began to experiment, and found that old cans and iron junk thrown into the water were soon destroyed, leaving in their stead a rich deposit of copper. He thought it would pay to extract the copper from the water by this process, and immediately purchased the exclusive right to the water. Then he put in a series of reservoirs and tanks along the little gully where the water ran. These he filled with all the old metal to be had, including barrel hoops. At the end of six months, he found that the old junk was totally destroyed, and in its place was a sedimentary deposit in the bottom of the reservoirs and tanks which was eighty per cent, copper. TONGS FOR HANDLING BRICKS Use of Instrument Eliminates Old "Chain-Gang" or Hand to Hand Method—Time Saver. Tongs for carrying bricks are shown in the accompanying sketch. The Tongs Clamped on Bricks. length is adjustable to fit different sizes of brick. When unloading brick from cars into wagons, the tongs holding four or six bricks are handed to the driver, who is thus enabled to pile that number about as quickly as one brick, says the Popular Mechanics. The use of these tongs eliminates the old "chain gang" or hand to. hand method and effects a large saving of time and labor. Big Dredge. The dredger Leviathan, at work in the Mersey, is said to be the largest construction of the kind in the world. It has an over-all length of 487 feet a beam of 60 $œet and a depth of 20 feet 7 inches, with a capacity to carry the enormous load of 10,000 tons of sand. It is of the twin-screw, self-propelling, sand-pump, hopper-dredger type, provided with 12 hoppers having a net total capacity of 180,000 cubic feet. Cotton Used In China The cotton cloth needed to clothes the inhabitants of China is about eight billion yards. This amount would carpet a pathway sixty feet wide from the earth to the moon, or cover one more than twenty miles wide from New York to Chicago. INDUSTRIAL AND MECHANICAL NOTES Russia produces about 95 per cent of the world's platinum. The wild pampas of Patagonia produce wool and hides worth millions. A machine to remove paper from a wall rapidly by steaming it is a recent invention. The heaviest hammer in the world weighs 50 tons and is found at the Terni works, Italy The world's output of copper last year was nearly 100,000 tons greater than the year before. All of Michigan's industries have felt the influence of the state's boom in the manufacture of automobiles. A French automobile builder has demonstrated that tires made of compressed leather will work successfully, even on rough roads. About 65 per cent of all the tin used in the world is produced in the Malay states, which last year exported more than $40,500,000 worth. Metal gates, folding into small space when not in use, have been patented L; two Connectit men to keep children from falling out of bed. To hold a pencil on a writing desk when it is not in use there has been devised a simple magnet with a steel cap to be placed on the end of any pencil. A netting funnel, to be set into a window screen, so that it will point outward, has been invented to attract files out of a room without permitting them to enter. The use of bicycles is decreasing in Russia. One dealer said he had sold 2,000 in 1908, but only half that number in 1909. In Germany the demand for them is stationary. ```markdown ``` An unseatarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education and training.

Gus Edwards' successful musical comedy, "School Days," which will be presented at the Grand next week, starting with a matinee to-morrow at 2:30, promises to duplicate its big success of last season, according to theatrical forecasters. The principal roles are in the same capable hands with Herman Timberg as Izzy Levi, the young immigrant who loses his violin and tries to find it with his girl sweetheart, the plot being based on this incident. Herman Timberg is considered by many as the greatest comedian for his years on the stage. He can also sing, dance and play the violin, Jack Lukley, as well as Dugan, with a big voice and plenty of ability. Dan Murphy, the German lad, and Dan Coleman, as "Tommy Tatters," lead the male contingent. Edna Reming, Alma Bauer, Dolly Dupré, Evelyn Dower and Caroline Stanley are among the women principals. Miss Reming gives 'the role of "Nonnie" a newer and fresher personality. Some twenty-five new musical numbers are promised, and tremendous hits will be scored with three new songs, "My Ju-Ju Babe," Take Me Back to Kidland and "Little Snowflake," written by Timberg. The dancing finale of the ingenious electrical effects are retained. A Booklet That Deals With the Afro-American From a Christian View Point.

Franklin wins an Important Insurance Case Against Big Odds. Attorney Wm. H. H. Franklin, of Minneapolis, secured a judgment of seventy-five ($75.00) dollars, and costs, on Monday, the 23d day of January, this year, against S. Samuel King, for legal services performed, in rendering advice on a most abstruse and difficult phase of life insurance. It developed on the trial that Mr. Franklin had forced the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York to pay King $500.00 on a life insurance policy, which had lapsed, or on which the premiums were far in arrears, and that the policy was not entitled to grace, it not having been, in force a year. Mr. Franklin made an exhaustive search of the authorities and produced to the company a brief of the W. H. H. Franklin. law in such a convincing manner that the company finally decided that a contest, under the circumstances would be unavailing. For this highly technical advisory work, the Court decided that Mr. Franklin was entitled to the verdict stated above. His ability as a consulting and advisory counsel was testified to by several veteran practitioners of the Minneapolis Bar; Chas B. Holmes, Esq, several times Alderman, and for twenty-eight years one of the leading members of the Bar of that city; Wm. R. Morris, Esq, a veteran with twenty-one years at practice, to his credit; Harry S. Mead, who has been in active practice for twenty years; all of whom were called as expert witnesses to testify as to Mr. Morris' legal ability and standing as a lawyer, and to the value of the services rendered. King their testimony was indeed gratifying and surprisingly complimentary to Mr. Franklin. Messrs. Holmes and Morris testified that Franklin had spoken to them about King's trouble with the company and that they had advised him (Franklin) to abandon the case as being hopeless; but that the young man had fought right on, and won; that they were astounded at his almost marvelous persistence, research and resource. And he won, B. S. Smith represented King. King's attorney had contended that the services rendered King were worth only five dollars. Franklin retaliated by saying: "Doubtless that price would be sufficient for any advice that Smith might give." So, the judgment is in effect a rating, by the Court and the members of the Bar, of Mr. Franklin's worth and ability as a lawyer. Each of the attorneys who testified in Mr. Franklin's behalf were his personal acquaintances; therefore their testimony was based on a thorough knowledge of his ability and standing. Herbert E. Day, who has pacted for thirty years in Minneapolis, conducted the examination of our Mr. Morris, thereby showing his respect for Mr. Franklin and lending his moral support to his side.

PAUL Story of the First Appearance of Harry Lauder Before a London Audience. When Harry Lauder sailed some time ago on the Mauritania after a long stage run in the states, an English officer told this story of him—a story Lauder does not particularly like to have repeated. When Lauder went to London for the first time the stage reputation he had made in the provinces had not made much of an impression on the metropolis. With a shrewd sense of the value of striking effects, Lauder decided he would arouse the Londoners to his peculiar morals in a novel manner. From some honeyard or other he procured the most skeleton-like specimen of horse-flesh he could find. On this he planned to make his first stage entrance. The old horse was tractable enough, with Lauder astride, awaiting his turn in the wings; but when the little fellow urged him forward for the grand entrance there was a balk, a buck, and Harry was ingloriously shot to the front of the stage over the horse's head, the animal peering after him with what might be termed an amused expression. Lauder slowly and painfully rose to his feet, while the gallery applauded and stamped and cried lustfully: "Do it again, Harry! Do it again!" Lauder rubbed his aching back, felt cautiously of his bones, looked back at the horse, and, turning to the audience, he said: "Like — I will." And he didn't; but thereafter his popularity was assured—Judge. TALENTED CONVICTS GO FREE Song and Poetry Bring Pardon to Two; Cartoon Work Frees Third. A prisoner has just been released from jail because he sang well. Only a little while ago a convict was pardoned because he wrote poetry. This sort of thing can be prolonged indefinitely, the Cleveland Plaindealer remarks. Convict Bill Drydock will be pardoned next month because he is a fine cartoonist. With a bit of plumbago and a whitewashed wall Bill Drew a striking likeness of Banker Swoop, who is his seatmate in the prison dining room. Convict Joe Skeetch, the notorious Brooklyn thug, has developed rrae talent as a carver. A rolling pin he whitted out of a bed leg for the warden's wife shows a high degree of art craft skill. Active measures are being taken to interest the governor in Joe's behalf. Convict Mulky Sludge, the kldnapper, has made a monkey wrench out of a bit of iron hoop from a water pail and two yards of wire from a broom. The fact that he tried to brain Tomkins with this ingenious tool will not weaken a determined effort to secure the governor's recognition of Mulky's remarkable mechanical skill. Convict Jerry Twiggs, who poisoned the ice cream at the Methodist church picnic in Skinkee's woods in the suburbs of Weehawkman last May, has developed a keen interest in line engraving. Entirely unaided, his only tools being a shoemaker's awl and a bit of sandpaper, he made a plate for a $2 bank bill which was so well done that he had no trouble in selling it to a visitor for two pounds of cut plug, a box of knockout drops, three flies and a bottle of sulphuric acid. Convict Twiggs birthday comes next Monday, and his leading birthday gift will be an unconditional nardon. --- --- BOTH 'PHONES.
