At the annual convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers held recently in Boston, the electrical farm was considered in a paper by Putnam A. Bates. He discussed in some detail the work now being done by farmers who are developing the arid districts of the west, showing that irrigation and electricity are the two factors that promise for the future where natural conditions are for the most part against the farmer. Irrigation came first and the advantages of electric power pumping were realized. The so-called electrical farm has been in existence for a dozen years or more, but it is only recently that there has been an organized effort to disseminate knowledge on the practical use of electricity in agriculture. Referring to the southwest and to the electric farm as he found it there, Mr. Bates says: "In some situations of that wonderfully fertile country, well protected by the high mountain ranges, practically every farm is an electric farm. Tta is to say, the buildings are lighted by electricity and many of the laborious operations are accomplished by the use of electric power. These really were our first electric farms, the period of their establishment corresponding with the development of the water powers of the CUTTING FODDER 4c "On the majority of these fisc practiced and quite naturally elae made use of for pumping purge the influence of progressive loc operators, it was almost univer light.

Then under the influence of progressive local central station operators, it was almost universally adopted for light. "I can recall seeing electric lights and the electric fan in use in the farm home on the Pacific coast eleven years ago. The people were content to enjoy the advantages which these improvements offer possible to them, but did not seem to regard the conditions as unusual. Their farms were in fact electric farms and their industries, dependent upon the produce of the land, were as they are now, practically all operated by electricity. "A brief summary of the work accomplished shows that construction is under way or has been completed on twenty-nine projects, involving an expenditure of $65,470,000. In the eight years of actual work there have been dug 7,000 miles of canals and more than nineteen miles of tunnels, mostly excavated through the most excavation of rock and earth amounts to 77,000 cubic yards. There have been built 570 miles of roads, 1,700 miles of telephones, and there are now in operation 275 miles of transmission lines, over which surplus power and light are furnished to several cities and towns." "The small farms and villages grouped about these developments give the effect of suburban rather than rural conditions. The cheap power developed from the great dams or from numerous drops in the main canals is now utilized for the operation of trolley lines, which reach out into the rural districts, bringing the farmer in closer touch with the city. It runs numerous plants for storing, handling and manufacturing the raw products of the farm. The same power is used for lighting in the heating in the towns, and for cooking in the homes. Several of the projects the farmers are applying for electrical power, and in many farm houses electric power is utilized for many domestic purposes. "More than a million dollars has been invested in the development of power on the Salt River project, of which the farmers have voluntarily raised $800,000. The sale of the power up to the beginning of the present year amounted to $144,000, with the plant only partially constructed. This revenue will contribute materially and basement the cost of operating the irrigation system. "On a large milk farm at Plainsboro, N. J., electricity is used for lighting, clipping cows, operating a bottling machine, spinning on tin cops or seals on bottles, cutting enclosure, running a sawmill, pumping from a deep well, grinding feed and elevating it to storage hins."

Electricity on the Farm Defective Page MODERN DAIRY IN WHICH ELECTRICITY IS DWAL ELECTRICITY IS USED POWER HOUSE ON FARM quality is rigidly maintained, is evidence that there must be advantages in using electricity in such an installation. "The total acreage of the farm is nearly 1,200, and at present about 70 per cent. is under cultivation. Electricity is generated by steam power and distributed at 220 volts. The generating equipment at present consists of one 25-kilowatt direct connected unit, steam-boller, etc. "This is not a large generating plant, to be sure, but it insures cleanliness of lighting equipment and safety from fire risk in the barns, bunk houses and outbuildings. It also makes possible a large power of water in any part of the farms or outbuildings, and essity are widely distributed, and cost of generating the current, including interest and depreciation charges, is probably not over four cents a kilowatt hour. "Scientific milk production is more and more coming into prominence and the necessity for perfect cleanliness, immediate cooling and keeping the milk at a low temperature compels such dairy farmers to adopt devices that will be most helpful in obtaining these results. There walls, cellar doors of all rooms in which the milk is handled down dally, both morning and evening—the electric lighting fixtures being entirely water tight. "Dairying and stock raising are usually followed where land needs upbuilding in fertility, and in either the silo is a necessity, cutting up succulent forage crops and storing them in the silo for later use being the accepted method of preparing the feed. To do this the farmer must have power, but a ten horsepower electric motor with its capacity for momentary overload will do the work that would stall a gasoline engine needed at twelve to fifteen horsepower. "The easily recognize the advantage of the electric motor's operation and when once adopted he soon wants to use the current for grinding feed, baling hay and other purposes. "On the dairy farm, however, electricity offers other opportunities, as it is the most convenient form of energy for operating an artificial refrigeration plant, the cream separator, churn and butter worker. "Cream separators, while often turned by hand on dairy farms, are more frequently driven mechanically, considerable cream is handled. Except in the case of require not more than a one-fifth horsepower motor and they are in operation only for a comparatively short time. The operating cost, therefore, is practically negligible." There are in use many designs of electric motors, especially on dairy farms where there is a great deal of milking to be done and hand milkers are equipped with sufficient numbers. Likewise electricity is now available for cooling and aerating and the looming electrical device is not unknown to our THE APPEAL. --- STRINGING WIRE ON FARM more progressive farmers. The up-to-date farmer is very much aware of the fact that the regular grooming of cows increases the supply of milk and counts strongly for cleanliness. He now has an electrical device for doing this. One of the most interesting electrical devices on the modern farm is the telephone. In the old days the men and women were called from the fields for dinner by the blowing of a horn or by sending the small boy trudging across the field with the good news. The modern farmer's man take to the fields with them a telephone which can be rigged up near where they are working and receive messages from the house by that means. With the installation of these electrical devices much of the romantic life of the farm passes away. Even a modern post would have a hard time getting anything lyrical out of an electrical milker, and the beauty of a load of hay somehow fades when a motor truck goes chugging across the fields with it. But the American farmer ceased to be romantic when the graphophone took the place of the wheezed old organ and when his wife opened up that front parlor then always used to be such a sombre place. He is out to make money now and electrical machinery opens up a door and he gets into his automobile and goes elsewhere to find what will appeal to his idea of the romantic. opened up that front parlor that always used to be such a sombre place. He is out to make money now and electrical machinery opens up a way for him to do it.

To Burn New Home To Burn New Home Former Fire Chief of New York Plans Unique Demonstration. Fire Chief Edward F. Croker of New York city is planning a unique yet highly impressive object lesson on the prevention of fires in dwellings. He recently purchased ground for a new house in the suburbs, and now he announces that when his $30,000 home is completed he will demonstrate its fire-proof qualities by attempting to burn it. His grim experience while fire chief of the metropolis in seeing so many lives affected by fires during the construction of fire-films materials, both in buildings and their filmsy materials, is back of his commendable plan to effectually prove that there is a safer and safer way. "The house will be completely furnished at the time," explains Mr. Croker, "with rugs, draperies and furniture of artistic patterns. But everything in the place will be proof against fire. We shall fill each room with wood shavings and cotton waste on which kerosene has been poured. We have such confidence in the material employed in the house itself and in the fire-proofing qualities of the furniture that we are sure they will come out of the ordeal unscathed. "The building itself will be constructed of fireproof block, which can be worked up into most pristine clean. During its manufacture it was subjected to excessive heat. The exterior will be in the Italian villa style—the first story in white, the second in red, with a red tile roof. "Not a particle of wood will be used anywhere, inside or out. Doors, window frames, sashes and trim will be of fireproof material. The floors will be of a substance that looks like wood, but which is chemically impregnated with resistant materials. The furniture will be of fireproof substances, on which fire has absolutely no effect. In parts the Edison concrete furniture will be used. "The sanitation will be perfect. The corners of every room will be rounded, there will be a vacuuming system, and so the exterior will be insect and rat proof.

NEW SPHINX FOUND Student of British Museum Discovers It in Egypt. Figure Fourteen Feet High of Alabas ter, Dug From Between the Go-lossi in Water-Logged Plain of Old Memphis. Calro, Egypt. — Another spinxn, weighing ninety tons, and carved from a single block of alabaster, has been unearthed at a point between the world-famed Colossi, on the waterlogged plains of Memphis, in Egypt. For hundreds of years it has lain in a recumbent position buried beneath the sands on the road to Sakharne. Today it is half-exposed to view, and next year it is to be raised to a vertical position above the water-line. This newly found spinxn was betrayed in its hiding place by its tail, which Mr. Ackley, one of the students of the British University in Egypt, discovered about a year and thirty days when the water on the plain subsided and complete figure was excavated, and was found to measure some fourteen feet in height and twenty-six feet in length. Alabaster being a rock foreign to the neighborhood, the new spinxn ranks as the largest that has ever been transported. The figure bears no inscription, but is considered by Prof. Flinders Petit, the director of the British School in Egypt, to have been carved about 1300 B. C. Many other remarkable discoveries, taking the mind back as far as 5500 B. C., and lifting the vell of centuries from Egypt's romantic story, have also been made by the same school, and, with the exception of a red granite group which will be sent direct to the god Pthi, which the Museum at Copenhagen, Bergsberg Museum at Copenhagen, and other details, are now on exhibition at University College, Gower street. They include many objects quite new to Egyptologists. Among these are coffins made of basket work, reeds or wites, sandal trays, an axe handle, in which the grip is composed of delicately knotted string, a pot of unburnt incense for a fire-offering of 4000 B. C., and numerous pieces of timber, showing by their Coffin of Basket Work. formation the principles of building construction that were in vogue nearly 6000 years B. C. The graves of the early Egyptians were always well provided with such necessaries as were thought essential for the spirit of the departed when it again materialized. Consequently, the relics from Tarkhan include headrests (some of them carried out of treasured specially into peculiar shape), sandals, large jars of food, and various vessels of gypsum and semi-transparent alabastar. Some of the vases bear the name of Mena, the earliest known Egyptian king. They are considered by some experts to be a tribute corresponding to the modern floral wreath. Evidence is also provided of the lack of historical sentiment in the Roman occupants of Egypt by numerous examples of inscribed Egyptian tablets that have been used as hearth stones, door lintels, and mill stones. There is also ample evidence of the belief that sacrilege amogh the tombs was more common in the earlier periods of Egyptian history than in later periods. HAS MARRIED 4,000 COUPLES Bristol, Tenn.—Rev. Alfred Harrison Burroughs of Bristol, now in his eighteenth year, has married 4,000 couples in the last twenty-three years. "I had no thought of making this a business," said the aged minister. "I was licensed to marry people many years ago, and when the first runaway couple sought me in 1889, I consented to marry them more as a matter of accommodation than anything else. "Some of my friends were present and witnessed the marriage. They complimented me and told me that I ought to make marrying a business. After that I did not decline to offer my services whenever a couple came my way. Month by month the business grew until I sometimes married from three to six couples a day." So rapidly did the minister's marrying business increase that he built a hotel designed especially to accommodate eloping couples. New Wrinkle in Laundry. San Bernardo, Cal.—When his laundry bill showed a charge for washing four greenbacks, George B. Rowan gassed in astonishment. He looked through his laundry and found a pile of carefully ironed and starched banknotes which had come home with his weekly wash. They amounted to $60, which he remembered having failed to remove from his clothing before sending it to the laundry.

OLD VANDERBILT RURAL HOME little Place, Called "The Stream" is Leased by the University in England. London—Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt, formerly Mrs. McKim, has been making extensive alterations to the house called "The Stream," at Betchworth, near Reigate, in Surrey, of which she took a seven years' lease last fall, a few months before her marriage to Alfred Vanderbilt. She is much attached to the place, although neither the house, which is a small one, nor the grounds, are particularly attractive. In fact, many of the people at Betchworth on learning that she had plenty of money said in amazement, "Whatever does she want to come to a hole like this for?" When she returned from her honeymoon almost her first remark was "Oh! How glad I am to be back there again. Now I can rest and keep quiet." Since her return this sentiment has grown stronger and she has bought the house and grounds. Since winter many improvements have been made that were badly needed, for the dwelling had been empty for five years before she took it. An additional plot of land has been bought from the trustee of the previous owner, outside Batch whose business fell upon evil days. A garage has been built capable of holding several cars. Miss Ethel McCormick, who was Mrs. Vanderbilt's companion at the time of the marriage, still remains a close friend and is constantly at Betchworth. Some months ago, while she was being driven in a dog cart by Mrs. Vanderbilt from Religate the horse bolted and upset both women in the street, out of the cart. The horse was a young one from Vanderbilt's stables at Hendon, and Manager Wilson has since had instructions to see that quater horses are sent to Betchworth. COLLIES TO HERD REINDEER Uncle Sam Hires Blue-Blooded Sciens to Teach the Plebian Canines of Alaska. Seattle, Wash.—Lass and Major, blue-blooded collies, who date their ancestry back to the coming of some Collie William the Conqueror to Bonnie Scotland, have been hired by Uncle Sam to educate the dogs of Alaska. Their particular field of activity will be instructing collies, shepherds and huskies of the wild north in the herding of government reindeer. When the steamship St. Helens sails from this port Lass and Major as well as four other collies of less aristocratic strain will be passengers. They will be in charge of A. N. Evans, superintendent of the northwest district for the department of education. Among the places they will visit will be St. Michael, Teller and St. Lawrence island. At the last local bench show Lass and Major took blue ribbons and special prizes against the field. They were purchased from Mrs. A. Stinson of this city recently, and Major made the transfer memorable by falling into the hands of the pound master. He rescued from prison by the T. Lopp, a division divider department of education, very much solled and worn out with his adventures about the city. At herding collies excel every breed of dog known to man, and Lass and Major, being almost intelligent enough to speak English, are expected to accomplish wonders with the native dogs of the north. Some doubt is expressed whether they will readily learn the Eskimo and theern dogdom, but Mr. Lopp and Mr. Evans think that a short acquaintance in Alaska will make them proficient in fongues. SPOUSE FLIRTS WITH SPOOKS Denver Woman, Asking Divorce, Brings Singular Accusation Against Husband. Denver, Colo.—Charging that her eighty-year-old husband possesses a spirit more youthful and that while she knows where his mundane form reposes at night, her own spirit is unable to follow his Lothair-like rovings on the astral "Great White Way." Amie L. Thompson, wife of one of Denver's Lothair-like known million- aire spiritualists, has been in court for separate maintenance, a share in her husband's fortunes and confirmation of the deed to her home.

For Many Years the Historic Building Has Been Cracking, Bulging and Settling, Threatening to Collapse Completely. London.—After a period of eight centuries, Winchester cathedral now rests on a solid and immovable foundation, saved from threatened ruin. Almost every day in the last few years the movements of a diver in regulation dress have been watched with curious interest as he entered or emerged from the water beneath the foundations of the cathedral. He was at work helping to save from ruin one of England's noblest historic buildings, and the successful issue of the undertaking has been celebrated by a thanksgiving service in the cathedral. For several years the dean and chapter of Winchester had been watching omnious signs, such as cracks, bulgings and settlements, sure harbingers of a collapse of the cathedral. From earlier daylight could be seen through the latter grew ever wider and wider. The buildings on the south side and the Norman transept, unequaled for their majestic simplicity, were riven in all directions. The massive masonry of the Norman builders had from the beginning proved too ponderous for the watery, compressible soil which forms the foundation. The first hole dug into the foundations revealed the cause of the whole trouble—water—and acting on expert advice, holes were dug in sections through the top soil and chalk and far through the peat. Then it was the work of the diver in his usual diving dress to enter the hole, remove further layers of peat so as to allow the water to rise into the cavity, and then to lay a flooring of cement to prevent the water from sinking back into the gravel. After the imprisoned water had been removed by pumping the cavity was filled up with brickwork in cement. This extended from the floor laid by East Front of Winchester Cathedral. the diver up to the solid stonework of the cathedral, showing like a roof of rock overhead. While the work underground was being carried on, patiently and thoroughly, seven anxious years, the cracks in the walls, vaultings and arches of the fabric were welded by the injection of liquid Portland cement from a squirting machine, a process known as grouting, capable of being so manipulated to as if filler a shallow crack or a rent through the thickened cement. Every device is now being repaired, every flaw and displacement remedied, every trace of instability in the foundations removed, and the cathedral seems to stand as solidly as the strongest building in the kingdom. MAN'S SIGHT IS RESTORED Fall Against Door Gives George Morgan Mount Holiday complete Recovery. Wilmington, Del—Becoming totally blind fourteen weeks ago, George M. Morgan Jr., aged twenty-three years, 1351 East Thirteenth street, had his sight restored to him through an accident. About eleven years ago Morgan was struck in one eye with a stone a small boy had thrown at a freight car. His sight was badly affected and last September he went to St. Joseph's hospital in Baltimore to have his eye treated. While sitting in boarding house he became totally blind without any warning whatever. He came to this city to visit his parents on June 29, and he tripped over a rug and fell, his forehead striking a door-jamb with much force. When he arose he found that he could see the daylight and later developments showed that he could see better than before he went to the hospital last year. He intends to return to the hospital to continue the treatment, although the physicians told him they did not think he ever would be able to see again. His mother was at market at the time of the accident and could believe her son's glad declaration when she returned until he told her the color of her hat and dress and described other things in the room.

Bates. He discussed in some detail the work now being done by farmers who are developing the arid districts of the west, showing that irrigation and electricity are the two factors that promise most for the future where natural conditions are for the most part against the farmer. Irrigation came first and then the advantages of electric power pumping were realized. The so-called electrical farm has been in existence for a dozen years or more, but it recently that there has been an organized effort to disseminate knowledge on the practical use of electricity in agriculture. Referring to the southwest and to the electric farm as he found it there, Mr. Bates says: "In some sections of that wonderfully fertile country, it is directly by the high mountain ranges, practically an electric farm.

Their farms were in electric farms and their industries, dependent upon the produce of the land, were as they are now, practically all operated by electricity. "A brief summary of the work accomplished shows that construction is under way or has been completed on twenty-nine projects, involving an expenditure of $65,470,000. In the eight years of actual work there have been dug 7,000 miles of canals and more than nineteen miles of tunnels, mostly excavated through mountains. The total excavation of rock and earth amounts to 77,200,000 cubic yards. There are built 575 miles of roads, 1,700 miles of telephones, and there are now in operation 275 miles of transmission lines, which over surplus power and light are furnished to several cities and towns. "The small farms and villages grouped about these developments give the effect of suburban rather than rural conditions. The cheap power developed from the great dams or from numerous drops in the main canals is now utilized for the operation of trolley lines, which reach out into the rural districts, bringing the farmer in closer touch with the city. It runs numerous industrial plants for storing, handling and manufacturing the raw products of the farm. The same power is used for lighting and heating in the towns, and for cooking in the homes. On general of the projects the farmers are applying for electrical power, and in many farm houses electric power is utilized for many domestic purposes. "More than a million dollars has been invested in the development of power on the Salt River project, of which the farmers have voluntarily raised $800,000. The sale of the power up to the beginning of the process will cost $144,000, with the plant only partially constructed. This revenue will contribute materially toward lessening the cost of operating the irrigation system. "On a large milk farm at Plainsboro, N. J., electricity is used for lighting, clipping cows, operating a bottling machine, spinning on tin foli caps or seals on bottles, cutting ensilage, running a sawmill, pumping from a deep well, gelling milk, storing it to storage bins. "The fact that this is a standard unit turning out daily from 3,500 to 4,000 quarts of milk, where an exceptionally high standard of E nearby mountains Electricity on the Farm MODERN DAIRY IN WHICH ELECTRICITY IS USED POWER HOUSE ON FARM quality is rigidly maintained, is evidence that there must be advantages in using electricity in such an installation. "The total acreage of the farm is nearly 1,200, and at present about 70 per cent. is under cultivation. Electricity is generated by steam power and distributed at 220 volts. The generating equipment at present consists of one 25-kilowatt direct connected unit, steam-boiler, etc. "This is not a large generating plant, to be sure, but it insures cleanliness of lighting equipment and safety from fire risk in the barns, bunker or outbuildings. It also makes possible a convenient source of power in part of the farms or outbuildings, which of necessity are widely distributed, and cost of generating the current, including interest and depreciation charges, is probably not over four cents a kilowatt hour. "Scientific milk production is more and more coming into prominence and the necessity for perfect cleanliness, immediate cooling and keeping the milk at a low temperature compels such dairy farmers to adopt devices that will be most helpful in obtaining these results. There are dairy farms in Morristown, N. J., where the walls, cellar and floors of all rooms in which the milk is handled downed daily, both morning and evening—the electric lighting fixtures being entirely water tight. "Dairyling and stock raising are usually followed where land needs upbuilding in fertility, and in either the silo is a necessity, cutting up succulent forage crops and storing them in the silo for later use being the accepted method of preparing the feed. To do this the farmer must have power, but a ten horsepower electric motor with its capacity for momentary overload will do the work that would stall a gasoline engine rated at twelve to fifteen horsepower. "The farmer can easily recognize advantage of the electric motor for this operation and when once adopted he soon wants to use the current for grinding feed, baling hay and other purposes. "On the dairy farm, however, electricity offers other opportunities, as it is the most convenient form of energy for operating an artificial refrigeration plant, the cream separator, churn and butter worker. "Cream separators, while often turned by hand on small dairy farms, are more frequently driven mechanically where considerable cream is handled. Except in the very large sheds, they may move in a one-fifth horsepower motor and they are in a stationary only for a comparatively short time. The operating cost, therefore, is practically negligible." There are in use many designs of electric milkers, especially on dairy farms where there is a great deal of milking to be done and hand used, available in sufficient numbers. Likewise electricity being used extensively for cooling and aeration, making electrical device is not unknown to our Defective Page THE APPEAL. --- STRINGING WIRES ON FARM more progressive farmers. The up-to-date farmer is very much aware of the fact that the regular grooming of cows increases the supply of milk and counts strongly for cleanliness. He now has an electrical device for doing this. One of the most interesting electrical devices on the modern farm is the telephone. In the old days the men and women were called from the fields for dinner by the blowing of a horn or by sending the small boy trudging across the field with the good news. The modern farmer's team take to the fields with them up phone which can be fitted up near them they are working and receive messages from the house by that means. With the installation of these electrical devices much of the romantic side of life on the farm passes away. Even a modern poet would have a hard time getting anything lyrical out of an electrical miller, and the beauty of a load of hay somehow fades when a motor truck goes chugging across the fields with it. But the American farmer ceased to be romantics when the graphophone took place of the wheeled front porch and when his wife opened up the front porch always used to be such a sombre place. He is out to make money now and electrical machinery up a way for him to do it.

To Burn New Home Former Fire Chief of New York Plans Unique Demonstration. Former Fire Chief Edward F. Croker of New York city is planning a unique yet highly impressive object lesson on the prevention of fires in dwellings. He recently purchased ground for a new house in the suburbs, and now he announces that when his $30,000 home is completed he will demonstrate its fire-proof qualities by attempting to burn it. His grim experience while the chief metropolitan in seeing many lives sacrificed each year to the demon of fames fed on films materials, both in buildings and their furnishings, is back of his commendable plan to effectually prove that there is a safer and safer way. "The house will be completely furnished at the time," explains Mr. Croker, "with rugs, draperies and furniture of artistic patterns. But everything in the place will be proof against fire. We shall fill each room with wood shavings and cotton waste on which kerosene has been poured. We have such confidence in the material employed in the house itself and in the fire-proofing qualities of the furniture that we are sure they will come to work. "The building itself will be constructed of fireproof block, which can be worked up into most effects. During its manufacture it was subjected to excessive heat. The exterior will be in the Italian villa style—the first story in white, the second in red, with a red tile roof. "Not a particle of wood will be used anywhere, inside or out. Doors, window frames, sashes and trim will be of fireproof material. The floors will be of a substance that looks like wood, but which is chemically impregnated with resistant materials. The furniture will be of fireproof substances, on which fire has absolutely no effect. In parts the Edison concrete furniture will be used." The sanitation will be perfect. The corners of every room will be rounded, there will be a vacuum cleaning system, and so the dwelling will be insect and rat proof. Closets will be fitted like innovation trunks, with all the fixtures in stamped metal, and lined with tile. The different appliances in them will work on ball bearing rollers. Kitchen sinks and drain boards will be of aluminum. Former Fire Chief Edward F.

Figure Fourteen Feet High of Alabas ter, Dug From Between the Co- lossi In Water-Logged Plain of Old Memphis. Calro, Egypt. — Another spinxn, weighing ninety tons, and carved from a single block of alabaster, has been unearthed at a point between the world-famed Colossi, on the waterlogged plains of Memphis, in Egypt. For hundreds of years it has lain in a recumbent position buried beneath the sands on the road to Sakkareh. Today it is half-exposed to view, and next year it is to be raised to a vertical position above the water-line. This newly found sphinx was betrayed in its hiding place by its tail, which Mr. Mackay, one of the students of the British School in Egypt, discovered about a year ago. This year, when the water on the plain subsided, the complete figure was excavated, and was found to measure some fourteen feet in height and twenty-six feet in length. Alabaster being a rock foreign to the neighborhood, the new sphinx was ever been transported. The figure had inscription, but is considered by Prof. Flinders Petrie, the director of the British School in Egypt, to have been carved about 1300 B. C. Many other remarkable discoveries, taking the mind back as far as 5500 B. C., and lifting the vell of centuries from Egypt's romantic story, have also been made by the same school, and, with the exception of a red granite group of Rameses II and the god Ptah, which will be sent direct to the Nyr Carlbersglen, and a few other details, are now housed in University College, Gower street. They include many objects quite new to Egyptologists. Among these are coffins made of basket work, reeds or withes, sandal trays, an axe handle, in which the grip is composed of delicately knotted string, a pot of unburnt incense for a fire-offering of 4000 B. C., and numerous pieces of timber, showing by their Coffin of Basket Work. formation the principles of building construction that were in vogue nearly 6000 years B. C. The graves of the early Egyptians were always well provided with such necessaries as were thought essential for the spirit of the departed when it again materialized. Consequently, the relics from Tarkhan include headrests (some of them carved out of trees trained specially into peculiar shapes), sandals, large lars of food, and various vessels of gypsum and semi-transparent alabaster. Some of the vases bear the name of Mena, the earliest known Egyptian king. They are considered by some experts to be a tribute corresponding to the modern floral wreath. Evidence is also provided of the lack of a burial chamber in the occupants of Egypt by numerous examples of inscribed Egyptian tablets that have been used as hearth stones, door lintels, and mill stones. There is also ample evidence of the belief that sacrilege amogh the tombs was more common in the earlier periods of Egyptian history than in later periods. HAS MARRIED 4,000 COUPLES Tennessee Minister Builds Hotel Especialy for Eloping Bristol, Tenn.—Rev. Alfred Harrison Burroughs of Bristol, now in his eighteenth year, has married 4,000 couples in the last twenty-three years. "I had no thought of making this a business," said the aged minister. "I was licensed to marry people many years ago, and when the first runaway couple sought me in 1889, I consented to marry her as a matter of accommodation than anything else. "Some of my friends were present and witnessed the marriage. They complimented me and told me that I ought to make marrying a business. After that I did not decline to offer my services whenever a couple came my way. Month by month the business grew until I sometimes married from the beginning of the couples my way. So rapidly did the marriage marrying business increase that he built a hotel designed especially to accommodate couples. San Bernardo, CA in Laundry.

London.-Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt, formerly Mrs. McKim, has been making extensive alterations to the house called "The Stream," at Betchworth, near Reigate, in Surrey, of which she took a seven years' lease last fall, a few months before her marriage to Alfred Vanderbilt. She is much attached to the place, although neither the house, which is a small one, nor the grounds, are particularly attractive. In fact, many of the people at Betchworth on learning that she had money of money said in amazement, "What does she want to come to a hole like this?" she turned from her honeymoon almost her first remark was, "Oh! How glad I am to be back here again. Now I can rest and keep quiet." Since her return this sentiment has grown PARKS stronger and she has bought the house and grounds. Since winter many improvements have been made that were badly needed, for the dwelling had been empty for five years before she took it. An additional plot of land has been bought from the trustee of the tenant, an outside broker who fell upon civil days. A garage has been built capable of holding several cars. Miss Ethel McCormick, who was Mrs. Vanderbilt's companion at the time of the marriage, still remains a close friend and is constantly at Betchworth. Some months ago, while she was being driven in a dog cart by Mrs. Vanderbilt from Reigate the horse bolted and upset both women and the groom, who was with them, and the horse, who was young one from Vanderbilt's stables at Hendon, and Manager Wilson has since had instructions to see that quieter horses are sent to Betchworth. COLLIES TO HERD REINDEER Uncle Sam Hires Blue-Blooded Sciens to Teach the Plebian Canines of Alaska. Seattle, Wash.-Lass and Major, blue-blooded collies, who date their ancestry back to the coming of some Collie William the Conqueror to Bonnie Scotland, have been hired by Uncle Sam to educate the dogs of Alaska. Their particular field of activity will be instructing collies, shepherds and huskies of the wild north in the herding of government reinforce. When the steamship St. Helens calls from this port Lass and Major as well as four other collies of less aristocratic strain will be passengers. They will be in charge of A. N. Evans, superintendent of the northwest district for the department of education. Among the places they will visit will be St. Michael, Teller and St. Lawrence island. At the last local bench show Lass and Major took blue ribbons and special prizes against the field. They were purchased from Mrs. A. Stinson of this city recently, and Major made the transfer memorable by falling into the hands of the pound master. He was rescued from prison by W. T. Lass and Alaska division department of education, very much scolled and worn out with his adventures about the city. At herding collese excel every breed of dog known to man, and Lass and Major, being almost intelligent enough to speak English, are expected to accomplish wonders with the native dogs of the north. Some doubt is expressed whether or not they will readily learn the English, but Mr. Lopp and his dogmog, but Mr. Lopp and Mr. Evans think that a short acquaintance in Alaska will make them proficient in tongues.

For Many Years the Historic Building Has Been Cracking, Bulging and Settling, Threatening to Collapse Completely. London.—After a period of eight centuries, Winchester cathedral now rests on a solid and immovable foundation, saved from threatened ruin. Almost every day in the last few years the movements of a diver in regulation dress have been watched with curious interest as he entered or emergences of the cathedral beneath the foundations of the cathedral. His work helping to save from ruin one of England's noblest historic buildings, and the successful issue of the undertaking has been celebrated by a thanksgiving service in the cathedral. For several years the dean and chapter of Winchester had been watching omnious signs, such as cracks, bulgings and settlements, sure harbrings of a collapse of the cathedral. From the interior daylight could be seen through the cracks; the latter grew thicker and more pronounced; the walls on the south side and the North seps, unequaled for their majestic simplicity, were riven in all directions. The massive masonry of the Norman builders had from the beginning proved too ponderous for the watery, compressible soil which forms the foundation. The first hole dug into the foundations revealed the cause of the whole trouble—water—and acting on expert advice, holes were dug in sections through the top soil and chalk and far through the peat. Then it was the work of the diver in his usual diving dress to enter the hole, remove further layers of peat so as to allow the water to rise into the cavity, and then to lay layers of cement to prevent the water from smashing back into the ground. After the imprisoned water had been removed by pumping the cavity was filled up with brickwork in cement. This extended from the floor laid by East Front of Winchester Cathedral. the diver up to the solid stonework of the cathedral, showing like a roof of rock overhead. While the work underground was being carried on, patiently and thoroughly, seven anxious years, the cracks in the walls, vaultings and arches of the fabric were welded by the injection of liquid Portland cement from a squirting machine, a process known as grouting, capable of being so manipulated to as if filler a shallow crack or a rent through the thickness $t$ if a massive wall. The walls are being repaired, every flaw and displacement remedied, every trace of instability in the foundations removed, and the cathedral seems to stand as solidly as the strongest building in the kingdom. MAN'S SIGHT IS RESTORED Fall Against Door Gives George Morgan Hope for Complete Recovery. Wilmington, Del—Becoming totally blind fourteen weeks ago, George M. Morgan Jr., aged twenty-three-years, 1351 East Thirteenth street, had his sight restored to him through an accident. About eleven years ago Morgan was struck in one eye with a bullet that hit his right forefright car. His sight was badly affected and last September he went to St. Joseph's hospital in Baltimore to have his eye treated. While sitting in his boarding house fourteen weeks ago he suddenly became totally blind without any warning whatever. He came to this city to visit his parents on June 29, and he tripped over a rug and fell, his forehead striking a door-jamb with much force. When he arrested, he was taken to a hospital and later developments showed that he could see better than before he went to the hospital last year. He intends to return to the hospital to continue the treatment, although the physicians told him they did not think he ever would be able to see again. His mother was at market at the time of the accident and could not believe her son's glad declaration when she returned until he told her the color of her hat and dress and described other things in the room.

Upon the solid rock of the rights of the individual as granted by the Constitution, the Republican party builds its structure of optimism. The Democratic party, on the other hand, in the opening sentence of its address to the electorate, betrays its recessional quality by denying the right of Congress, a right again and again confirmed by the Supreme Court, to establish protective duties for the benefit of American industries. It declares as false the vital issue of the constitutional liberties of the individual. Such liberties are now assailed by those who advocate the overthrow of the independence of the judiciary. It would leave the individual defenseless in the protection of those rights declared inalienable under the Constitution—Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee. SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1912. THE MANHOOD IN THE PIT "A strong man may put me in a pit, and keep me there, if he is strong enough. But I will act so that he will know that there's a man in that pit." It was a Negro who said this. He was speaking of the wrongs of the Negro race. It has a lesson for every man who feels that he is oppressed. Wrongs we must endure, but the wrong is half undone when he who is in the pit keeps his manhood unscathed. Does your employment seem beneath you? Are you subject to humiliations? You may not be able to curb the evils from which you outwardly suffer, but you may make respectable, and even noble, the pit in which you are placed—by being a man. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus said that nothing harms a man which does not make him a worse man. Slavery, pain, poverty, the wrongs of enemies—all these harm the enslaver, because they make him a worse man—harm the inflicter of pain and the creator of poverty and the doers of W. H. OUR FRIEND PRESIDENT TAFT, Who Was Renominated on the First Ballot by the Republican National Convention at Chicago. W. H. H. HON. JAMES S.

SHERMAN, Renominated for Vice President by Republicans at Chicago—Great Friend of Afro-American People. the wrong—but not the person suffering these things unless he allows them to make him a worse man. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was an emperor, and suffered only those wrongs which emperors suffer. But Epictetus, the slave, was of the same mind with him. And remember this, that no class of men can remain in the pit if each one sees to it that so far as he is concerned there shall be a man in the pit. Shackles fall from the limbs of real men. Individuals like Epictetus may be real men and also slaves—though Epictetus finally ruled his master by sheer manhood. But if all the slaves in Rome had been men like Epictetus would they have remained slaves? No! When men are in the pit they annihilate the pit. The greatest need of the world is manhood. The foregoing is an excerpt from a daily exchange and it goes to show that the author was something of a man himself to express such sentiments. On last Sunday, in Chicago Lawn Congregational church, the widow of Dr. H. W. Thomas read a sermon that was delivered by him in 1893, on the occasion of the opening of the World's Columbian Exposition, entitled "The Universal Brotherhood of Man." In the audience of over 4,000 persons who heard the original sermon there were representatives of every race and nation in the world. It was a plea for the abolition of race prejudice and an exposition of the common interests of all human beings. The sermon was a remarkable one in the undisputable facts it contained. It said: "The human mind is the same wherever human beings live. It puts men on a common plane, above every other form of life or matter. Be he European, Celestial, Jew or African, he stands above everything around him. Human conscience is the same everywhere. It tells every human being to do what he thinks is right. It is the common possession of men of every race and stage of civilization. Affe- tions, love of music and the aesthetic sense also, are the common possessions of all men. These things should weld all human beings into a great brotherhood." Would to God that there were many more men such as Dr. Thomas who have the courage of their convictions. At the recent session of the International Bible Students' Association at Washington, D. C., a resolution was adopted repudiating as thoroughly unscriptural "the teaching of a place, state or condition of hell-fire and brimstone for the torment of the wicked." This was very consoling to many of the people who don't care to be worried about their future so muca and cannot conceive of a God who is all Love, punishing His children in any such manner. But it did not suit some of the Afro-American brethren, so they set apart last Sunday as "Hell fire Day." Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, announced that he would preach in the forenoon on "The Key to Hell," and in the evening on "Hell—With Fire in It, Too." We don't know what the outcome was, but he no doubt made things very warm for some of his hear- The very revolutionary country, Haiti, has had another disaster. The palace of President Cincinnatus Leconte was destroyed by fire caused by a powder explosion Thursday and he perished in the flames. Four hundred others were also killed or injured. It is not known whether the explosion was by accident or design. Gen. Leconte was a mulatto between forty and fifty years of age. A strentuous effort was made at the Democratic National convention to have a plank inserted in the platform disfranchising the Afro-Americans, and yet there will be some boneheads who will vote the Democracie ticket at the coming election. President Taft's action in vetoting the bill containing the seven-year tenure clause for government employees is highly commended by all fair minded men. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Camel Hump and Giraffe Sway at the Capital Famous Stockbridge Indians Are to Go West Uncle Sam Opens Another National Playground Chinese Are Happy Over the New Issue of Bills WASHINGTON—In a furtive sort of way people have taken note of the "camel hump walk." It's here. It came to Pennsylvania avenue rather gradually, but by much quicker process than that by which the aboriginal man stopped walking on all fours; for it traces its ancestry back to the hobble skirt and no farther. Just as we used to have the "kangaroo walk," we now have the "camel-hump walk." The camel-hump walk is nature's way of adapting itself to the sheath skirt. It is nature's law and probably the very best nature could do under the circumstances. It will be seen by careful attention to the pictures that the genuine camel-hump is nothing more nor less than an attempt on the part of the hobbled female to get away from what is coming behind her, a direct application of the theory that self-preservation is one of the primal instincts of humanity. The peculiar effect is due to the tendency of the upper portion of the torso to advance a little faster than the hobbled extremities. The hobble skirt, being true to its DECIDING to abandon their tribal form of government and adopt the white man's way of doing things, the remnant of the Stockbridge tribe of Indians, numbering 600 men, women and children, will shortly become citizens of Wisconsin and cease to be under the supervision and guardianship of the federal government. The Stockbridge Indians will have a whole township to themselves, east of Lake Winnebago, and other land that the government intends giving them. Already they are planning the organization of a town government, and they have written to various federal and state officials about the state for information respecting civil government, parliamentary practice and whatever else may be useful to them in solving the problems before them. Originally the Stockbridge Indians were a part of the Mohican confederacy and were known under the name of Housatonic. When the pilgrim fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, the Stockbridges occupied part of the Houseatonic valley at Berkshire Hills, Mass. Soon after the famous missionary, Sergeant, went to work among them they were collected on a tract reserved by the English government. The French and Indian war, which broke out in 1754, marked the beginning of the decline of the Stockbridges. They sided with the French and thus aroused theire of many other Indian tribes. At the close of the war they were forced to move, partly because the war had reduced their numbers and partly because the New Englanders desired they should leave that community. Their number reduced to a beggarly GLACIER PARK NOW OPEN THIS PARK WILL MAKE A BIG HIT THREE years ago congress passed a law setting aside a tract of 1,575 square miles in northwestern Montana of the wildest country on this continent to be kept as a national park and playground and game preserve. The park has now just been opened for the season, and it will remain open for visitors until October 15. For eight months of the year it is practically inaccessible, as snow blocks the mountain passes. There are as yet but few roads, and tourists have to do most of their traveling on horseback over rude trails. The Great Northern railroad skirts the southern border of the park, and it has put up a chain of hotels and camps for the accommodation of visitors. The place is a paradise for fishermen. Though wild game animals abound, all hunting and carrying of firearms is forbidden, as in Yellowstone Park, and it will be a great rival of that attrac- WASHINGTON'S Chinatown eagerly awaits the appearance of the new paper money of the Chinese republic. Chop suey restauranteurs, dealers in celestial teas and spices and bric-a-brac and the vendors who line lower Pennsylvania avenue are all on the qui vive of anticipation. Bankers, particularly those who have accounts with Chinamen and with Americans now traveling or living in China, are also interested in the new money, which is now being manufactured in New York and which is expected, to make an appearance shortly in Chinese circles in this country. Local Chinamen say that a great compliment has been paid to the United States by the celestial republic in that the standard of value of the new money is the American dollar. One side of the notes will be printed in Chinese, the other in English. It will be extremely easy to exchange American money for Chinese and vice versa. The money is the first issue of paper by the new Chinese republic, and is made primarily to retire the money of the old empire, which also was name, deters the legs in their desire for freedom. The right leg says to its colleague, "May I pass?" Not to be outdone in politeness, the left leg answers, "Why, my dear, of course; but I warn you that you will not be able to go far. Your career necessarily will be somewhat limited." "Cat!" exclaims the right leg, and fares forth confidently, only to come up against that hobble like a colt at the end of its tether. Meanwhile, the shoulders and spine, having the utmost confidence in the right leg to do its full duty and making no allowance for the confounded hobble, forge ahead just as they used in the days before the tube skirt was ever dreamed of. Now, it is that very tendency of the upper portion of the torso to continue the old movements of a natural gait that produces that peculiar phenomenon the camel-hump. There is also the "giraffe sway," which is a variation of the camel-hump employed by slender girls only. The complement of these two actions is the "wideawake sit." The name originates with the tendency of the ankles and feet to come right out and greet you in broad daylight. The toes no longer peep from out of the folds of a tailored gown; there are no folds. Needless to say the wideawake is particularly popular with occupants of the opposite seat in the car and with the manufacturers of silk hose. band of 200 and their villages pillaged and burned by their enemies, it was with joy that they accepted the invitation in 1785 to join the Oneidas in Onelda and Madison counties, New York. The Interior Department has given its approval of the plan, and the Stockbridges are planning to lay aside soon the blanket, tepee and other marks of "the only real American" and take up the white man's duties. In 1883 the Munsee, Oneida and Stockbridge Indians joined forces, after being gradually driven westward by the march of civilization for a century, and settled on a tract of land near the head of Green Bay, Wis., which they had purchased from the Menominees. Since that date they have become one tribe and are known as the Stockbridgees. After years of bickering between factions of the tribe, which fought constantly over the question of securing individual allotments of land or establishing a township and living in one community, the proponents of the township idea have out and the result is a decision to have what remains of their original land east of Lake Winnebago and what the government intends giving them reserved for this purpose. tion as soon as it is well known. Glacier National park is so named from the fact that within its borders there are upwards of sixty living glaciers. These glaciers feed numerous streams which go plunging through gorges of the wildest grandeur. There are nearly 300 lakes, the largest of which is Lake McDonald, covering over ten square miles and being over 3,000 feet above sea level. Mount Cleveland is the highest mountain—10,435 feet—but there are scores of other peaks of huge size, many of which are very grotesque in shape. One of the most curious is a great cliff which has been dubbed "Heaven's Fold." Here the strata of rock formation have been doubled and crushed in a very striking way, and the height from the valley is over 200 feet. White goats are numerous in the region. They have worn trails around cliffs which rise vertically from the valleys, and they tread these precarious paths with apparently no idea of fear. Travelers who like to try their mountain-climbing abilities will have plenty of work before them here. It will take years to explore the whole region, and every party that goes through reports interesting new discoveries. printed in the United States and bore the portrait of the Chinese diplomat, Li Hung Chang. Upon the new bills will be found the portrait, not of Li Hung Chang, but of the Philosopher Menizes, who is held second only to Confucius in the estimation of the Chinese. The bills are in denominations of $1, $5, $50 and $100. China, of all nations, was the first to use paper money. As early as the second century paper money was used by the Chinese, but in the fifteenth century the Chinese minister of finance abolished it, and not until the latter part of the nineteenth century was it resumed. In 1898 the American Bank Note company received an order from the Chinese government to print an issue of paper money. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home.
