100000 in profits during the last year.

trust paid 1855 per cent, and in 1892,
$50 per cent profits. FITS workingmen

Strong and good blood coursed

Why this mockery of human aspira-
lions and human conservation? Aye.
That is the question this generation
OF men and women is called upon to
answer. A social system, based upon
greed-giving to the shrewdest the
monopoly of life's opportunities, by a
strange fatality damns those who
take advantage of the unjust condi-

obliterates every scion Of every
family. Ruin to all decreed. Ruin
to all decreed is the immutable law
which curses with it's persistent
evolutionizing energy the selfish sys-
TENS of humanity. Greed is transi-
tory: it is error. Ethics is permanent;
it is truth. The story Of man is the
demonstration that selfishness de-
stroys those who grow fat over it's gain
and indulgences, as we'll as those who
suffer by the consequent injustice.
Men go out under the doom-laden

Scientific Martyrs,

If soldiers are to be turned into SCI
entific martyrs their military ardor is
likely to be dampened accordingly.
Last year a doiefu story came from
Germany of the plight of a regiment
that had been put for some weeks on n
diet of peanut -four. They were so re-
duced and weakened mentally and
physically that they would have de-
serted If they had had the energy to
do so. The diet was submitted to for
several days stoically, but even n Ger
man soldier VIII turn, and the expert
ment was concluded Just In time to
avert an outbreak Of Standardization.
The troops az Fort Logan must be able
to SympathiZe with the unfortunate
Teutons. In testing the new emer-
gency ration prescribed by the war
department, II company went out
for three days of forced marching in
the foothills, loaded with coffee tab
lets and compressed soup, which were
supposed 10 take the place of hard
tack and coffee. During the test the
medical officer who Is charged with
watching and weighing the men, rode
into the nearest town for assistance.
Thirty-six out of the fifty men were
down with gripping pains, resulting
from non-assimilation Of the scientific
ration. The order could not be re-
yoked, and the men in the field were
informed that they would have to re-
main on the march for two days
longer.

Pneumatic Fire Alarm Telegraph
System.

A new mechanical and pneumatic
fire alarm system has been put upon
the market. which embodies a mag
neto-electric machine for the trans
mission Of a telegraphic alarm to the
fire department headquarters. In this
system the raising of the temperature
of the room above the normal Is in
stantly indicated both within the house
and at the fire station. The system
consists essentially of three parts, viz,
a thermostat, which acts under the in
fuence of the heated air; an annunci.
ator, which receives the alarm from
the detector or thermostat, and indi-
Gates 1t by visual room or floor signal
and the ringing Of a bell, and a trans
mitter, which is also actuated by the
thermostat, and transmits the alarm
by wire to a predetermined station.
these are connected by closed
= within the building. The anuun-
Gator has many duties TO perform. In
the first place, as soon as it receives
the alarm from the thermostat, its
clockwork releases a vibrating lever,
which sounds a gong. 1t also controls
a number of bellows connected to
their respective pipes, which. when
actuated by the impulse of air from
the detector. drop a shutter and re-
lease the clockwork, thus indicating
the location OF the fire. In other
words, the location of the fire is i'm
mediatAy made knowc to the occu-
pant of every room la the building.
The local alarms runs for about IF
teen minutes. 1t is located. preferably,
just inside the main entrance of the
building. The transmitter, besides
sending the alarm to the fire station.
is corrected with the central exchange
OF the local telephone company, so
that IL the residents of the house in
which the fire breaks out happen to
be out of town, they may. by previous
arrangement. be promptly appraised Of
the fact by telephone.
