Warming Railway Carriages.

The Northern Railway Company, of
France, is fitting all its carriages,
even ON short distance trains, with
boxes Of acetate soda, for the
purpose Of warming the compartments The
chemical is put in solid state into the
boxes, which are then plunged into hot
water of about 100 degrees. The soda then
becomes liquid. On being taken out Of the
water the boxes are wiped dry and put into
the carriages. By degrees the soda solid
ifes, and as long as that operation lasts,
that is, for about five or six houfs-it grad
ually gives off the heat that it has absorbed
in the melting process.

Cousins, but q Long Way Removed.
Queen Victoria is reported - objecting to
her grandson's marriage to Princess Vic
toria of Teck because Of relationship. It
is possible that some Of the European cor
respondents got their facts mixed Instead
of the Princess being . cousin Of Albert
Victor, eldest son Of the Prince Of Wales,
to whom she has just been engaged in
marriage, it is her mother who is cousin
of the Queen herself As each succeeding
generation has married entirely outside the
line of kinship, cannot conceive the force
of an objection to the marriage on the score
of q relationship so far removed.
A few words will explain the connection
between the contracting parties, and the
reader can then judge for himself whether

illuminated Campaign Banner.

As showing how easily an electric plant
can be applied to almost all contingencies,
during the recent political campaign in New
York, one of the parties carried on truck
a huge flaming placard on which the names
of the candidates shone out brightly
throughout the whole of the long night pa
rade on which the plaoard was used. In
order to carry out this novel scheme, small
boiler and engine were fixed ON the floor of
the truck, and close alongsideswas placed
12 kilowatt dynamo. The banner was a
striking object, being IA feet long and 515
wide, and containing 221 16-c. p. lamps.

The Birth of o Legend.


There is chance Just now to make some
observations on the birth and progress of the
interesting stories which dot history's pages
at intervals and deal with strange coinci-
dences and blood curdling warnings In
this town . body of young men, calling
themselves the Original Hounds, without
telling why Hounds, or why original, re-
Gently paraded and got arrested. which was
not original. That happened ten days ago.
In the procession, according to the legend
which is now taking hold of the sensitive
minds Of our people, four Original Gentle
men carried coffin with the name of Par
nell on it. In the week following the desc
Grafton every one of the four men was killed
in an accident Details and names were
given up to the recent moment when street
car avenged the Irish leader by crushing the
life out of the last of the fo1r.
Investigation indicated that the event
happened as follows: The coffin was car
ried, with the motto, "Clam chowder" on
one side and the text, 'eFree lunch" on the
other. OF the four supposed dead men
three were on hand to tell about 1.-THE
fourth was accessible. In this way fine
things die away as we approach them. If
the reporter lasts. the 1itterateur of the
future will have to lie knowingly or rely on
dull fact
The use to which that coffin is put is full
Of local color. When An Original Hound
becomes so far intoxicated as to lose all
traces of his original originality, then other
hounds put the unfortunate one into the
coffin, and thus satisfy their intense craving
for the humorous and gay.

Getting Accustomed to Wonderful Things
The statement made in THE DISPATCH
last Monday by the noted electrician,
Nikols Tesla, that the time would soon
come when the science of electricity would
be so we'll understood, that q ship in mid
ocean could be telegraphed, without con-
Meeting lines, recalls the suggestion which
awakened so much interest 20 years ago, to
establish an ocean telegraph with floating
stations, or in other words, to anchor ships
at various points on the ocean and connect
them by submarine cables with land
stations, 60 that messages could be received
or sent from any part of the sea- The
scheme was considered so practical at the
time that it would certainly have been put
into effect, had not the fear prevailed that
in case of war, the stations would be the
first things wiped out of existence by any
war vessel whose exact whereabouts might
become known to the enemy through this
means. 1t is true some international ar
rangement might have prevented this, but
the different countries interested snd par.
ticularly the capitalists, whose money would
be needed in carrying tho scheme out, were
too much afraid that in time of conflict
little attention would be paid treaties, etc.
1t is remarkable fact that this scheme,
which was in itself much easier of compre-
hension by the unscientific, created more
astonishment than that of Tesla's does to-
day. This show: how Injured we have be-
come to wonders and how superextraordin-
ary any suggestion or invention must be to
awaken curiosity beyond the average.

Herders in the Country.
Special to the Gazette.

PENNINGTON, n. NJ, July 1.-THE recent
articles which have appeared in print,
especially in the Eastern papers, with refer
ence to the supposedly hostile attitude of
the Navajo Indians, particularly towards
their nearest neighbors, the small tribe of
the Moquis, has caused great deal of quiet
amusement in this part of the country,
where the facts are well known. Possibly,
with the exception of the civilized tribes of
the great Indian Territory, no one of the
tribes of the aborigines of America are
now. nor have they been for more than
twenty years, SO peacefully inclined as
these same Nava jos, who long ago aban-
doned the warpath for the peaceful induss;
tries of farming and cattle raising. The
people of this village, which is not far from
the great Navajo reservation, are greatly
amused over the Solicitude displayed by
Commissioner Morgan as to their intentions.
". II. Culver. whose cattle and sheep
ranch is almost within the borders of the
reservation, was in Pennington and was
shown q dispatch from Washington in
which 1t was stated that there was the
gravest fear of an outbreak among the
Navajos. Mr.. Culver laughed at the dis
patch and said: ''If the Indian bureau

him I would help locate the offenders, and

On investigation it was learned that the

and was made, as most such are, by white
men disguised as Indians. OF course in
wild country like ours we find men who
live by robbery and who will not hesitate
to commit murder if opposed, yet venture
the assertion that they are exclusively
committed by MeXicans or renegade whites.
The talk of these Indians being bad men is
all nonsense, and arises from the persistent
efforts of the whites to cast suspicion on
the red men in order to get possession of
their lands and valuable herds of cattle and

CROP REPORT.
ACREAGE AND CONDITION OF,
CORN, WHEAT AND OATS.
Corn Late in All Sections-An Improvement
Noted for the Month-Wheat About
All Harvested.

WASHINGTON, July 10-The July report
of the department of agriculture makes the
acreage as compared with the breadth har-
vested last year OF corn 1858, potatoes 1923,
tobacco 1926.
Tide condition of corn is 929. winter
wheat &c. spring wheat 9+.1, rye 93.9, oats
SO. barley 901, potatoes S5.3, tobacco 81. l.
The heavy increase in corn acreage is
more apparent than real. The comparison
is with the breadth harvested last year
when there was a loss of 1000, 600 acres by
abandonment on account of the drouth.
The crop is late in all sections on ac-
count of drouth, and the unfavora-
bic conditions at the time of planting
and cool weather during May, but June was
warm, with abundant moisture, and the
crop was coming forward rapidly on July 1.
In the Ohio and upper Mississippi valleys
the progress during the month was
especially gratifying, but IN Kansas
and Nebraska considerable damage
resulted from excessive rainfall. In many
districts the June rains prevented proper
working, leaving the fields foul, but few
days of sunshine will remedy this. The
general average is a fraction below
that of 1883 and 1889, and slightly above
that of 1890
The condition of winter wheat is returned
practically the same as in June. The crop
is harvested, except in its more northern
highest reported since 1879, with one ex-
ception. So far as can be judged at
the time Of harvest the berry is reported
generally plump and in keeping with the
heavy straw.
The condition of spring wheat improved
during June, the advance being in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas, where the month was
exceptionally favorable.
Oats have improved during. the month,
but the general average is the lowest re-
ported since 1879, except ipS 1887 and last
year, when the July CONDITION of SIG was
