NEW YonK special: Thomas j. Love-
grove Of New Egypt, N. j., claims he has
invented a mammoth dynamite gun capa-
bic OF throwing a'projectile 1000 pounds in
weight a distance of nine miles. The
active principle is the explosive force of
hot water, which Is said to he more W.
iul than gun cotton or any other explosive.
1t is generated in Il small boiler connected
with the gun. The water is heated to a
pressure of $50 pounds to the square inch,
and is then released through a tube into
the breach of the weapon, and the pro-
jectile is discharged.
NEW YORK special: Mail advices from
ITO Janeiro, January s, received, say that
on the evening of the 9TH a ferry boat left
the landing with 100 to $50 passengers and
shortly after took fire. Nothing effective
was done to save the passengers who were
driven overheard by the flames and many
Some were rescued by launches
which hurried to the scene. The ferry
boat Quinta started to the rescue, but her
passengers with rcvolvers at the heads of
the officers compelled them to leave the
struggling people to their fate.
CARVING, Mich, special: Three chill
dren, aged q, 8 and 4 years, respectively,
lost their lives i'll a fire at Lewiston. The
children had been put to bed, while their
father. Eli Seymour, and wife attended a
Meccabccs dance. When they returned
the house was in flames. When the fire
iad been sufficiently eXtinguished to enter
the house. the children were found dead,
side by side, in bed. They had evidently
been sutfOcated without having been
awakened. The cause of the fire is nm
known.

Lost Steamer t:,lcher.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, special: A letter has
been received i'll this city from Capt.
O'Brien, a Lake Michigan fisherman, a
ing he has found some wrcckage, half
burned, which probably belonged to the
lost steamer, Gilcher. The Gilcher, with
a crew of eighteen, left Buffalo in October,
1892, with 5000 tons of hard coal for Chi
cago and after passing through the Straits
of Mackinaw was never heard from again.
1t has always been supposed she broke in
two in u terrible storm and suffered the
fate of her sister ship, the Western Re
serve, on Lake Superior. The finding of
the wreckage is taken as proof by lake
men here that the Gilchcr caught fire dur
ing the storm and was destroyed in that
manner.

Wisconsin, 1885. Speaking of farms
alone, Utah also stands the highest in
regard to mortgages of any of the North.
ern States, only 90 per cent. of her farms
being incumbercd. The percentage in
Wyoming is 1906, in Montana 1858,
Idaho 1922, Oregon 23.36, Colorado 2, I5.4S
aud Washington 26.T6.
Nearly 81 per cent. of the farms in lii.
nois are mortgaged. III Indiana the farm.
ers are i'll u little better condition, the
percentage being 81. 10, and in Ohio they
are IL little better still, the percentage
being $3.50. 1t is shown, however, that
l6.a1 per cent. OF the mortgages upon
farms i'll the United Suites represent de.
ferred payments of purchase money. and
$3.50 per cent. purchase money and per.
manent improvements. The remainder,
as has already beer stated. represent
farm machinery, stock and other articles
that add to the value of the property and
make its cultivation more profitable. In
Illinois 14.43 per cent. of the mortgages
represent deferred payments of purchase
money; in lndiana. 69.97; Iowa, GAO;
Michigan. 1920; Nebraska, 1902; North
Dakota, 1920; Ohio. G9.5S; Oregon, 54.S4;
South Dakota. 25.47; Washington, 46.51;
Wisconsin, G9.3O. The percentage of
mortgages due to all other objects than
deferred payments of purchase money, i'm
provements, machinery, stock and other
articles of permanent value is only $50 in
the entire United States. The highest
rate is found in the Southern States,
where the planters arc in the habit of Sc
curing advances upon their crops, which
often are not sufficient to meet them, and
then mortgage lapses over upon the prop
erty. In Alabama the percentage of
such farms is Cos. in Georgia 400. in
Louisiana 6.12. in South Carolina 6.52,
in Virginia 1858.
OF the mortgagcd farms and homes in
the United States 1874 per cent. are
worth less than $1,000, 1919 per cent.
are worth between $1,000 and $4,000,
25.25 per cent. are worth between $4,000
and $4,000, 1924 per ccnt. between So 900
and $4,000, 1916 per cent. are worth
$4,000 and over and 1920 worth $3.50
and over.
