reported to the supreme lodge against
granting the request of the Ontario
members to be relieved from financial
obligations while retaining fraternal
relations. The report of the commit

Bunker Hill, H., is in mourning for
Mayor John r. Richards, and Capt.

Bunker Hill Gazette, is accused of the
murder.
A political feud OF many years du-

Hedley shot Richards One bullet
wounded his arm. The other passed
through his liver and lodged in the

hours later. Hedley's friends and wit
nesses of the shooting assert that it
was done in self defense.
Hedley at once delivered himself to

A Historic Railway Collision.

Here is the story of the evolution Of
the locomotive steam whistle: 1t was
invented because of the destruction of
a load of eggs. When the country roads
were for the most part crossed at grade
the engine driver had no way of giving
warning of his approach except by
blowing a tin horn. The horn was far
from being sufficient warning. One day
in the year 1883 a farmer was crossing
the railroad track on one of the coun-
try roads with a great load of eggs
and butter. Just as he came out upon
the track train approached. The en-
gineman blew his horn Justify, but the
farmer did not hear it. Eighty dozen
eggs and fifty pounds Of butter were
smashed into an undistinguiShable
mass. The railway company had to
pay the farmer the value of MS but
ter, eggs, horse and wagon.
A director of the company, Ashland
Baxter by name, went to Alton Grange,
where George Stephenson lived, to see
if he could not invent something that
would give warning more likely to be
heard. Stephenson went to work and
the next day had a contrivance which,
when attached to the engine boiler and
the steam turned on, gave out shrill,
discordant sound. The railroad direc-
tors, greatly delighted, ordered similar
contrivances attached to all the loco
motives. This has developed into the
Locomotive whistle as we know 1.-THE
Industrial World.

The "war-chest" Of Germany is kept
in the fortified city of Spandau. Here
is deposited coined gold equivalent to
thirty million dollars, instantly avail
able for military purposes. 1t is un-
derstood that Great Britain and France
are even more richly supplied with
ready money, although neither Of
these countries keeps its treasure in
a "war- chest" Italy, on the other
hand, has very little, and her people
are taxed to the verge of starvation
that that little may be kept untouched.
Russia has been a chronic borrower,
partly to supply fund of which no
one outside Of Russia knows the ex-
tent. II has been asserted, possibly
with some exaggeration, that Germany
could pat two million men into the
field, fully equipped, within ten days
after hostllities began. On a war foot
ing the German, Russian and French
armies would number, each. more THAI
three million men; the Italian and
Austrian about two millions each. To
support such multitudes would soon
empty any war chest" A country
like Germany, whose public debt is
only about ten dollars per capita
Italy's debt is almost eighty dollars
for each inhabitant-could resort to
taxation, and by various means with
stand long strain. But 1t staggers
Imagination to dwell upon the burdens
that protracted war would lay upon
the unhappy subjects of the bankrupt
nations.

Creating an Absolute Vacuum.

An absolute vacuum, or what is be-
lieved to be one, was recently pro-
duced by Prof. Elmer Gates of Wash.
ington by novel method. Into test
tube made of kind of glass which
melts at a very high temperature he
poured a molten glass which melts at
a much lower temperature, complete
ly filing the tube, leaving no air space.
After melting the inner glass 1t was
partially withdrawn from the tube by
exhausting the air from the outer side
and allowing it to flow down by gravity
but not so far but that the end of the
tube was completely closed. 1t was
then allowed to cool. AS no air could
enter the space left by the withdrawal
Of the glass 1t is believed that a per-
feet vacuum was obtained.

A French physician has invented a
method by which he says iron can be
given in large doses. Hens, he noticed,
have powerful internal organs. They
can digest considerable quantities of
iron, and then render it back, through
the albumen of their eggs, in a form
which is easily digested by the weaker
stomach of mankind. So he feeds his
hens with what he calls "a very alb
sorbent salt Of iron," mingled with
grains of wheat, and they lay eggs ex-
tremely rich in iron already digested.

Reports from all the large towns
where General Weyler has congregated
helpless Cubans to starve them to
death show that the mortality is in
creasing rapidly. In some sections half
of the concentrates have died; in 9TH

rate. Riots are occurring in several Of
the larger towns and only the guns of
the Spanish soldiers have kept the

Twenty years ago a newly-appointed
postmaster at New York could remove
and appoint at will two thousand sub
ordinates. The postmaster whom
President Mckinley has appointed can
fill only two places. This is a striking,
though not an exceptional, example of
the extent to which reform in the ad-
ministration of the civil service has
been quietly pushed. "To the victors
belong the spoils," is no longer the
universally accepted political maxim
it was a generation ago.

Black Hawk, the mighty Indian, TO Az

Black Hawk, the mighty chief Of the
Winnebago Indians, will visit the low
State fair this summer, If his health
will permit. The chief is now 80 years
old, and has not been in his customary
robust condition since he was stricken
with paralysis some time ago. The
aged warrior is the last OF famous
line of fighters. He is nephew OF the
original Black Hawk of the wars OF
1892, and fought in the battle OF Bad
AK. When the Indian forces were fin
ally overthrown on the shores Of the
big Mississippi the young Sac
warrior drifted northward, and
soon became noted hunter
in the land OF the Winneba-
goes. His proves and imperlous ways
soon made him the absolute master of
large band of the tribe, over which
he has ruled for many years with an
iron hand. He was present at the
great council of the tribes which as
sembled on the return of the original
Black Hawk. The young chief openly
accused his powerful uncle of coward
ice when he said that the white men
we're as countless as the sands of the
river. When old Black Hawk dies he
will leave no heir. His only son was
killed three years ago in fierce en-
counter with Jim Swallow, stalwart
brave of the Winnebagoes. Black
Hawk will be the chief attraction at

FOR the moment any resistance was Of

Invention Is called a differential fly
wheel, and is intended to be used with
great advantage as an engine hywheel
IN place of the ordinary combination
OF crank, shaft and wheel in one solid
piece.
1t is claimed by the inventor that his
new application of power permits him
to throw the point of the leverage out
near the periphery of the fiywheel and
even further if he likes, and that, with
each successive move outward, he
gains in effective leverage without a
dlminution of speed either Of the engine
crank or Of the power wheel. He also
asserts that, for the first time in the
history of mechanics, he has produced
a contrivance which Will give q con-
tlnuous leverage in the line of motion.
Diiferenual gearing is always COM
pick, and little difficult to understand,
out, with the aid of the illustrations.
This unique device may be followed:
First, the big fywheel is loosely
mounted on the crank bearing shaft
OF the axle, to which power is applied
by the piston of the engine. On this
same crank shaft is also solidly mount
ed a gear or cogwheel A, which en-
cages with a second gear lettered b,
known as the idler, and this gear again
turns on n third one, G. Now here
begin the mysteries of the machine
the gears c and ID are fastened togeth-
sr by an axle, which passes through a
bearing in the arm of the big flywhee.
D, ii will be noticed, then engages on
the rear gear +, which is fixed and i'm
movable. BY turning the engine crank

wheels, and, as the back gear T. can
4ot move, the rest of the mechanism
has to travel around it, forcing the big

claimed advantage lies, is, that the
