Senator Mcmillan has presented to
the U. S. Senate petition of the city
council of Lake City, MINI, setting
forth that navigation through Lake
Pepin is frequently hazardous for want
of a safe harbor. 1t is the most dan
gerous portion of the Mississippi to RATS
and vessels, and the $4,000 now appro-
priated for a harbor at Lake City is
wholly inadequate. A larger appropri-
alton is urged.

A Mechanics Invention.

A Pittsburgh mechanic has invented
process for manufacturing window
glass which, if successful. will revolu-
tionize that industry. 1t consists of
rolling the glass exactly as iron and
steel are rolled, instead of blowing it.
The melted glass is brought in a ball
from the furnace and conveyed over
the movable iron plates to the rollers.
These rollers are heated underneath by
natural gas flames coming from per-
forated pipes, thus maintaining the
glass at a malleable heat and at the
same temperature throughout its sur
face. 1t is estimated that ten times as
much glass can be produced by this
process in given time as by blowing.
Experienced glass workers say that
the rolling is practicable if the glass is
kept hot during the operation. In pre-
vious experiments the glass cooled sc
that it became brittle; but by the use
of natural gas in the way proposed
this difficulty is overcome Y. Maj

A Queer Old Custom.

In Persia they bottle up their tears
as of old. This is done in the follow
ing manner. AS the mourners are sit
ting around and weeping the master of
ceremonies presents each one with q
piece of cotton wool, with which he
wipe, off his tears. This cotton is
afterward squeezed into bottle and
the tears are preserved as powerful
and efficacious remedy for reviving a
dying man after every other means
have failed. II is also employed as a
charm against evil influences. This
custom is probably alluded to in Psalm
LvI., s: '.Put thou my tears into q
bottle" The practice was once uni
versal, as is found by the tear bottles
which are found in almost every
ancient tomb, for the ancients buried
them with their dead as aproof of their
affection. Erchaage-

in the smoker, and says: -,
"Shove along, stranger, an give a

Then the native sat down and settled
himself comfortably, much ito the

to answer. ..s>lai-sP + q =

1916. and July j, 184ss This was H.

Mexico and this country, which had
taken place within This period. The
aggregate cost of that war, however.
was about $1O0, Zoo, 000. 'ThisincluAesl

country by the treaty OF Guadalupe

SOILING THE COWS.
A System Which Insures an Eventual In
crease in Crops.

crease IN crops,
The question as to the advantages Of
soiling the stock comes up annually for
discussion, and agitation has largely as
sisted us in arriving at knowledge OF
all that may be lost or derived from
such system. The great diflicultyin
the way of soiling is, that as the method
is progressive one, so far as the man.
agement of the stock is concerned, it
forces improved methods of cultivation
of the soil. Now, while many dairymen
and farmers are prepared to adopt the
best systems that can be used for lessen
ing the expense and increasing the
profits, it is not an easy matterto induce
them to bring every portion OF the work
Of the farm to corresponding level
with the management pursued with
the stock. Unfortunately for them soil
ing means high farm ng, as 1t is the
first step in that direction. 1t means
larger crops, and that the farmer can
not coniine himself exclusively to field
culture, but must ETing his farm to the
condition of a garden, with SMALLER
areas and larger yields. There are
some advantages in soiling over pastur-
ing. There is an eco omy in feeding,
as will be easily made manifest when
the grass is cut and fed to the cows, in
stead of allowing the animals to trample
and destroy it. The soihng system may
not ensure the farmer greater yields in
the beginning, as the best results are
not obtained for several seasons, and
then he will awake to the fact that
although his profits were not immedi-
ately scern bic his farm has increased
in wealth, his soil becomes more pro-
ductvr, his management effective, and
the returns from the growth OF crops
