Surprising those who have had to do with

Surprising those who have had to do with
regist ration in former years.
II am surprised" said Mr.. Jordan to-
day, "at the way people are registering
this year. Men who have never been
registered, this year are anxious that their
names be enrolled. Again, too, it is
astonishing how many young men just
coming OF age are registering for their
trst vote. / attribute the large registra-
tion to the fact that those whom I have
appointed throughout the county as depu-
ties have taken the greatest and most
active interest in seeing that all their
neighbors are put on the register. As a
matter of fact l have feeling of pride IN
the matter and am anxious in the closing
days OF registration between now and the
9Th day OF August to get every man IN the
county who is entitled to vote on the
register in time.
'One thing that / am sorry toisay is
tnat there are many poor men IN the
county who are under the impression that
II they register that they VIII have TO pay
a polltax. l have endeavored all along to
! get that out Of the minds of the voters
/ that the County Clerk collects or has any
| thing to; do with the collecting OF poll
taxes. Every man in the county shouid

about his polltax, as far as l am con-
ceIned. All they have to do is to find out
where the nearest deputy lives or come 10

Aluminium Go mns.

Aluminium collins are the latest and
the New York, Pittsburg and st. Louis
undertakers carry them in stock. They
are made of uniform width, square ends
and vertical sides and ends, such being
the accepted shape Of the modern bur-
ial casket. They are finished with a
heavy molding around the bottom and
at the upper edge, and with pilasters at
the corners and with round nodded
top. They are provided with extension
bar handles. Aluminium caskets are
not covered, but finished with a metal
surface FURNISHED. They are lined in
the same manner. The non-corrosive
qualities of aluminium as well as the
lightness Of the caskets recommend
them. A six-foot aluminium coin
weighs but 100 pounds. an oak casket
of the same size 100 pounds, a cloth cas-
ket with metal lining about 175 pounds.
Other metallic caskets weigh from $50
TO 500 pounds. Aluminium collins are
not likely to become popular among the
poor. as their cost ranges from s4oo 70

Liquid Fuel for Britain's Fleets.


The British admiralty has taken an
important step in directing that the
new fleet cruiser Gladiator. building at
Portsmouth, be fitted for the consump-
ton of liquid fuel. Success has attend
ed the experimental use of various
forms of liquid fuel in several navies.
notably in the Italian, Russian and
German services. The Italians have
put into ali their new ships petroleum
burners on a system invented by an
Italian engineer named Cuniberti,
whose system has also been adopted by
the German government with satisfac-
tory results, the fuel used being not
crude petroleum, but petroleum resldu-
um. the use of which, in connection
with Cunibertis burners, is said TO be
most economical, while it can be burnt
without producing smoke, an obvious
advantage from a naval point OF view.
II is curious that the use of liquid fuel
has come so slowly to the front, consld-
ering that experiments with CunlDertl S
apparatus were carried out at Spezzla
in 1892, and that M. Weyl, the wen
known French naval expert and edl-
tor OF LIE Yacht, was enthusiastic In us
favor four years ago. 1t is anticipated
that before long the use of some form
of petroleum fuel will be general
throughout the navy, as it has the en-
ormous advantage of increasing the ra-
d,us ~ action OF a war vessel by some
60 or 20 per cent, and further, WIN
probably go some way towards sowing
the difficult problem of replenishins

1T LOOKS BEHIND.
A Telescope which IL Said to Double

Mankind once had an extra eye IN

that they can still find traces OF this
eye in a certain irregular formation

places are called rudimentary eyes. but
they are not to be found In all people.
In fact. a man who can boast OF q
rudimentary eye Is quite a superior
person. or course, these rudimentary
eyes are of no real use to anybody, not
even to the owner of them, but they
serve to show US that at a certain stage
in our career nature thought 1t was
wise thing to enable US to keep a
watch in the rear. A foreign firm OF
opticians have very considerably en-
deavored to supply, as far as may be
done by mechanical means, the loss Of

structed telescope which enables the
user to look around corner. BY its
means you may see and remain unseen,
a circumstance which possesses obvious
advantages. They call the invention
the stereo1elescope. Stereo comes
from Greek word meaning solid, and
in this connection II is used as indi-
eating that the image, as seen through
the stereo-telescope seems an exact
counterpart of the object and not
mere picture of it. The two tubes that
extend hOriZOntally carry an object

placed on an axis at right angles to that

the observer looks through the small

each eye. The rays Of light from the
objects that lie in the field of vision are
Projected by means of prisms, so that
they turn the corner of the right angle.
