Ground to Pieces.

GRAND FoRKs. N. D., Sept. 27.-Par.
ticulars have just been received Of a
horrible accident which occurred on the
farm Of Joseph Benson, in Alma town
ship on Wednesday evening, while the
crew Of StephenK Kristianson were thresh-
ing. They were cleaning up around the
machine after finishing setting, when
suddenly the machine stopped. and the
crew were horrifiod to see the body and
legs OF Gunar kristjanson, the feeder,
projecting from the cylinder, The crew
released the part Of trunk that was not
ground up and the legs Of the unfortun-
ate man from the deadly machine. Five
concaves Of the cylinder were broken
out and pieces Of human flesh, bones
and brains were scattered all through
the machine. The unfortunate man was
the eighteen -year-old son Of G. Krist-
janson, who lives at Milton.

MOntgOnnery's Trial Trip.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-As yet the
date for the trial trip Of the new steel
cruiser Montgomery has not been set.
The vessel is practically completed. and
ready for sea voyage. and that the date
for her trial trip has not been fixed is
thought to be due to the fact that the
contractors are unwilling to allow the
trial to be made until the new chic; en-
gineer has become perfectly familiar
with the engines and is in position to
get the best possible results out of the
vessel. This is matter that may mean
the loss OF thousands of dollars to the
contractors in premiums. and they are
not likely to indulge in haste that may
mean financial loss to them. The chief
engineer, who was killed. was invaluable
in his position. and his loss is liable to
affect the time the Montgomery will
make unless the new chief engineer ac-
quaints himself thoroughly with the
engines. The navy department expects
to receive information as to the date of
the Montgomery trial by the end of the
week

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-It is highly
probable that the Committee ON Terri

We Owe the Hat to Asia.

We owe the hat to Asia, for it was IN
that country that the art Of felting wool
was first known, and from the most re-
mote periods the art was carried on by
the orientals. In India. China. Burmah
and Siam hats are made Of straw. of rat
tan, of bamboo, Of pith, Of the leaf Of
the Tallport palm and Of large variety
of grasses. The Japanese made their
hats of paper. The modern hat can be
traced back to the petasurs worn by the
ancient Romans when on journey. and
hats with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks.
It was not until after the Roman con.
quest that the use Of hats began in Eng.
land. A ''hatte of biever." about the
middle of the twelfth century. was worn
by one of the mobiles of the land. Frais.
sort describes hats and plumes which
were worn at Edwards court in 134O
when the Garter order was instituted.
The merchant in Chaucer's Canterbury
Tales" had ION his head . Flsunderish

A representative piece of mechanism

early Egypt. 1t has the appearance of

also attributed to this people. but their
main reliance seems always to have been

banks of the Nile, an invention 30 SIM

that it remains today substantially the
same as it has through all the centuries
since history began.
The same may be said regarding the
chain pump in China. an invention the
origin of which antedates the Christian
era. This simple machine, which seems
never to have been improved upon. is IN
such common use that every agricultural
laborer is in possession of one. Where
irrigation is conducted on larger sea. e
the chain pump is made proportionately
larger and moved by q very siiaple tread
wheel, and still larger ones are operated
by yoking buffalo or other animal to u

The application Of steam to raising
water is Of uncertain origin. Long be-
fore the Christian era certain applica-
tions OF fire to vessels containing water
