Modern WoOdmen Picnic.

The citizens Of Madison, Wisconsin,
are arranging for the entertainment of
twenty-five thousand people from
abroad on THURSDAY, the 9th dav of
June next. On this day will occur the
great annual picnic of the Wisconsin
and Illinois members of the Modern
WOodmen of America. The railroads
which touch Wisconsin's capital city
have made a rate of one fare for all
within radius of 100 miles of Madison
who wish to attend, the tickets to be
sold any time after midnight following
June / and good to return the day after
the picnic. Those living beyond the
100 mile limit can obtain special rates
by application to the roads early enough
and if too late can purchase to the 100
mile limit and then get a one-fare
ticket, saving much.
a fine program has been arranged,
which includes a procession of from
ten thousand to fifteen thousand Wood
men in line with thirty to forty bands
guard, of Madison, the crack Wisconsin
company of the National Guard, floats
representing wood and industrial
scenes. There will be speaking by
ious points of interest, an exhibition by
the local fire department, exhibition
drill by the guardsmen, tumbling and
turning in the largest gymnasium in the
world, that of the Wisconsin state uni
yersity. The day Will be crowded with
events and made one long to be remem-
bered by visitors.
Inasmuch as many visitors will be
present during the day previous, We'd
nesday, it has been decided to have a
regatta on Lake MOnOna, which will
include eight-oared gig races between
four class teams from the state univer-
sity; eight-oared shell race between
three crews, inter-fraternity race, inter
literary society boat race, sailing and
paddle canoe races, swimming race,
tub race, water tournament, water polo,
and concluded with an oar salute by
the varsity crew.
Friday following the picnic there will
be fine game of ball in the inter-colIe-
gate league and other attractions.
The week will be distinctly Wood
mems gala week, with the sessions of
the head camp to add to the importance
Of the four DAYS in the Ra1rar caDital
Every arrangement has been made
to make the visitors welcome. The
state house park will be given up to
the guests, and Governor Upham is OK

city in making the visitors feel at home

Hot Weather and Low Water.

The drouth and heat of the past two
weeks are almost nprecedented. 1t is
said that no season since 1870 has ever
approached 1t in high mean temporal
ture. The long continued dry. warm
weather has made decided difference
in the water level of the great lakes.
From various reports of low water made
since the opening OF navigation, it
would seem az if the mean lake levels
are a foot below the ordinary stage.
Thus far this season, continued norther-
ly winds have kept up the stage of
water III Chicago harbor To It's usual
but at the foot of Lake Michigan the
drop is repaired from two to three feet
more especially in Green Bay, where it
is said 10 be our feet. Continual stand
ing on Crosse Point, in Detroit River,
have given warning that Cargoes must
be materially lessened, even when they
are not to % through the 500 or Wei
land Canals. The capacity OF deer.
draft vessels. which do nearly all the
lake commerce. has been reduced by
the low water from five to eight per
cent Such a reduction can not fail to
materially raise freight rates.-W estern

The French Language Over the Tee"
phone.

A French electrical journal gives
Of the telephone transmission of sound
between London and Paris. The fact
that the telephone is coming to be y
formidable rival to the telegraph is
suggested 10y the statement that it is
now possible to transmit 400 words
over the line for 10 frames. while the
telegraph charges the same price for
Is words The line is said to work adj
mirably. ana when the air is net satUI'-
ated with electricity there is scarcely Il
trace of Induction, or. in other words
the line is absolutely free frOia disturb
inE noises and crackliHgS.
In fact, the transmission between the
two capitals is - good that the rm-
FlUyCS. who receive the messages and
record them in shorthand, have rarely
an occasion to ask for a repetition of
Il sentence. 1t appears, too. that the
French language is far superior to Eng
fish for telephone INSTRUMENTATION
the latter having too many nasal
sounds. Take, for example. the French
word "ccrcmoniC" president" and
compare with them their equivalents in
English, i. @, Ceremony" "presidcnt."
Each English word has an acccntuatcd
syllable or 4 syllable which is distinct
~ pronounced to the disadvantage of
the remainder of the word. In fact, it
is this accentuated syllable which gives
the English word its characteristic; in
English polysyllabc words one syllable
is distinct while the others are swal-
owed up by the speaker. The conse-
Qucncc is that in a large number of
similar English words the employe, CT
person who receives the message in
Paris, is prone to make serious mis-
takes. Take, again, the words ''presi-
dent" and present" both of which are
acrpntuated on the first syllable 1t
is by no means unusual for them TO ar
rive at the Paris end Of the line as
"prcZntte" or PREF nne." On the other
hand. the French word "ceremonie,"
having four distinct syllablcs, is easily
understood at London, willie the word
Ceremony" with one acceutuated sylla-
bic. will he quite indistinct whenever
there is any induction on the line.

Going Barefoot Is IienIthful.

As to the hcalthfulnoSS Of going with
out shoes or stockings there can. says
the London Hospital, be 10 question.
Some of the hcalthicst children of the
world are to be found in the Scottish
high lands, where shoes are seldom
worn ut an earlier age than Il and
Il. The negro and coOlic labOrcrS, who
work barcfootcd, are usually in robust
health. Brown, III the History Of
Man" tells of an African monarch who
suffered from what appeared to be
cold in his head. besides other ailments,
while his people We're always as well
as possible. Can it be that the reason
was that. by the laws OF his Kingdom
he alone was permitted to clothe his
feet, and that he gratitied his vanity
by always wearing gorgeous sandals?
1t is probably generaliZing too much to
state as a medical fact. that the bare
footed races are the healthieSt. But it
Is certain that bare feet are healthier
than badly shOd feet. In our English
villages children are constantly sent To
school in wet weather with holes in
their shoes. They sit for hours .vI'h
damp feet, and illnesses are the result
If their parents would send them off
barefoOted. As ii is done in Scotland and
Ireland, their feet would dry by evapOr-
alton in A short time. and il would be
found that no harm followed.

The greatest successes in farming are
now made by those who have expert
mcnted with special manurcs, and have
thus learned how to use them so as to
get the greatest benefit from thom.
Most of these special manures are min
eral. 1t Is the deficiency Of stable ma
nure in tho mineral elements of plant
food that has compelled farmers to pun
chase phosphate and potash to make Ut
the deficiency. At first the lack was
mainly of phosphate This is the miner
al that is most needed 10y grain, and es-
pccially by the wheat crop. More late
ly, as fruit growing and the potato croI
have superseded wheat, farmers and
fruitgrowers find that potash is ever
more necessary for them than phosphate
is to the wheatgrowcr, American Cul
tivator.
