Said to BE successfuL
The idea Of an electric incubator has
long been looked upon by poultry farm
trs as too theoretical to be of any real
service. Herr Otto Schulze, who has
been steadily striving to perfect such a
system in Germany, has, it is said, at
length succeeded in constructing an
apparatus operated electrically, which
overcomes the ordinary difficulties Of
the artificial Matching of chickens. The
apparatus Is easily manipulated, and
needs small, but constant, supply OF
current. Automatic attachments reg
Kate both temperature and moisture.
the adjustment working with such deli
cacy that temperature Is kept within
,ne-tenth of degree of the normal heat
Of incubation. From 90 to 100 eggs are
hatched at one time. Herr Schulze is
said to have remedied certain points In
the electric mother" which were
found to interfere with itseffectiveness.
This continuance, which il a box, in
which freshly-hatched chicks can find
heat and protection, while they are free
to run about on the ground when they
choose, has been devised as an accom-
paniment to the incubator.

TORTURE IN PUNISHMENT.


Barbarous Treatment of MaIcfactors In
the Colonial Period.
The constitution Of the United States
and those of thcvarious states in prohib-
iting cruel and unusual punishments
were not fighting an absurdity. The use
of torture in legal processes was not,
when these instruments were framed,
SO remote as it is now.
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to Virginia he crushed con-
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture.
One had q bodlxin thrust through his
tongue and was chained to tree until
he died, others were broken on the
wheel. 1t is quantity stated that Sir
Thomas was "a man of good conscience
and knowledge in divinity"
Dole's date was 1911. The next nota-
Bile instance of the use of torture was
in 1892, in the Salem witchcraft ex-
element, when Giles Cory was pressed
to death-the ''peine dure ct forte.--
the most horrible of deaths. A far
worse instance was the burning of the
negroes at the stake in New York, 174i,
as already described in these columns.
Throughout the early colonial period
the use of the stocks, cage" and pillo-
ry was common, but these were torture
only to the sensitive spirit. A similar
device is the cangue, or plank necklace,
four feet square, which Chinese prison
ers still carry,
Executions were in public through
out the east until comparatively recent
times. When Quelch. the pirate, and
six others were hanged in Boston Sew
all wrote in his diary: "When the scat
fold was let to sink there was such a
screech of the women that my wife
heard 1t, sitting in our entry next to the
orchard" though the gallows was q
mile away and the wind unfavorable.
The use of torture to wiring the truth
from witnesses is said to have been
recognized as legal in Austria until
well within the present century.-N. Y.

A lectnrer used TO tell of two compli-
mcnts he had received. each of which
was, as lie said, gem" in it's way. One
day friend met him on the street and
said, cheerfnlly: II see that you lee
tured last night. Sorry / wasn't able
to be there. Hope to hear your lecture
when it passes into literature" This
was different from the tribute paid him
by young man who, with grave face
and businesslile air, stepped up to the
lecturer one night as he left the plat
form, shook his hand solemnly, and re-
marked, with the air of one making a
dry statement of facts: II merely
wished to say that you are my favorite
writer and speaker" after which he
bowed and abruptly disappeared.

Steamships s.sered by : ringer.

Marvellous progress has been made in
marine architecture and equipment
within the past few years. There was a
time when the wheelhouse of big
ocean steamer contained eight stalwart
men. who. in rough weather, would find
itaimost herculean task to manage the
wheel. Nowadays the light touch of
an infants hand upon the wheel is of
sufficient power to turn a vessel COM
pietely round. Huge boats are now
steered by steam apparatus. which liz
as quick and effective as the touch upon
an ordinary electric button.

The Cheyennes and other Indians of
the plains believe that thunder is caused
by the tapping of the wings of an i'm
mense bird which flies across the sky,
bringing the storm. All the ideas of
savage tribes are based on such simple
conceptions of nature. The ideas of
young children are often identical with
savage myths, as a result of minds on
the same plane of development at
tempting to explain the same thing.

wine PRODUCTION
Statistics Forwarded to the Depart
ment of State
BY CONSUL At ZURICH, SWITZERLAND.
The Aggregate Production Shows Slight
Inersas. by Reason Of the Dsersass
of the Ravag.s the Phyllox-
era in the Vineyards.

WASHINGTON, Aug 17.-cousul Ger
main of Zurich, Switzerland, has sent
to the state department statistics re-
garding the wine production OF the
world, which show that 1t is estimated
to be 3.67l, 1853 gallons annually, having
sligAtly increased during the last few
years in consequences of the decrease
OF the ravages OF the phylloxera, which
induced French wine growers to re-
pant their devastated vineyards. The
quality of wines did not improve in the
same ratio with the quantity, the new
methods of wine culture tending more
to increase quantity than improve
quality.
1.-The Investigations which were
made, he says, "have shown that the
general extension of vine culture, in
countries other than France, did not
help to increase the national wealth.
II is fact that in Australia and In a
few other countries wine-making has
not proved profitable, and producers
have become discouraged. In Austria
liza the government had to grant sub
sides to encourage growers, while In
other countries more profitable
branches of agriculture were resorted
to. Ranking in Importance as wine
producing countries the different ma
tions stand as follows: France, Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Gcrmany, Austria
Hungary, Russia, Switzerland, the
Balkan states, Argentine Republic,
Chilli, United States, Brazil, Australia,
Cape Colony.
"The exertions OF Italy to establish
foreign markets for her wines are
worthy of mention. Large stocks and
technical central station have been
established at Berlin, Vienna, Triesta,
Buda- Pesth, Zurich, Buenos Ayres and
New York. Spain, in spite OF
her having been very much afflicted
by the phylloxera, in certain regions,
has been able to maintain her wine
production on the former scale. That
country has made great progress in
wine culture. Spain has established
a control station at New York. She
is constantly rcplanting the vines that
have been destroyed by the phylloxcra
and the government is buying land on
which American vines, known to be OF
great resisting quality, are being
planted"

and carried him to the veranda. There
they procured from him the key to
the office and entered. A heavy
charge of dynamite was placed in a
hole drilled in the safe and the ex-
plosion which followed, shook the
house. The guests, nearly all from

AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION
In Regard to a Populist Committee Meet
inn Corrected.


WASHINGTON, Aug. l7-An erroneous
impression exists that the popuist
committee meeting called for Tuesday
Is one of the national committee,
whereas it is simply meeting of the
executive committee, consisting OF
nine members, as follows: Marion
Butler, of North Carolina, chairman;
NJ c. Rankin, of Indiana, treasurer; J.
A. Edgerton, of Nebraska, secretary;
George T. Washburn, Massachusetts;
II. W. Reed, Georgia; Dr. c. +, Taylor,
Pennsylvania; j. Il. Sovereign, Arkan-
sas; John W. Breidenthal Kansas. and
John S. Dore, California. Messrs.
Edgerton, Reed and Washburn are al
ready here. The principal business
before the committee will be selection
of national headquarters and the maxi
ing out of plan of campaign. 1t may
be determine to call meeting OF the
full national committee for some fu-
ture date to consider matters over
which the executive committee has no
jurisdiction.
The executive committee can take no
action looking to removal of Mr.. Wat
son as vice-presidential candidate, and
The substitution Of Mr. Sewell, having
no authority in the premises. The ma
tional committee alone could do any
thing definite in that matter, having
been given the same power as the con-
yention which nominated him.
