that no machine could be constructed
powerful enough to crush five, six and
seven-ton rocks, nor could any machine
withstand the terrific jar which would
result. Nevertheless Mr.. Edison in
vented such machinery, and so com
petely that not even one hundred horse.
power is required to reduce rocks weigh
ing six and seven tons to dust in less
than three seconds from the time they
are thrown into the crushing-machine
What Mr.. Edison has done, says Mr..
Waters, has been to subdue to his SER
vice three great natural fOrces-momen-
tum, magnetism and gravity.
The big rocks are not, strictly speaking,
crushed by the direct power of nm engine
or dynamo; momentum alone turns them
into dust. No mechanism assists in the
separation of the ore from the sand; mag.
netism does it All. Except for the elevators
which raise the ore to the cupolas of the
buildings there ia in many of them no ma
chinCry; gravity does all the work. In fact
the whole plant is wonderful example of
automatic action. Every part is connected
with the other parts, aud the aggregate is rs
compact ANA as sclf sustaining rs n modern
rotary printing press, and il even less de.
pendent ON human agency for assistance.
From the time the ore is blasted, with its
native rock, out of the mountain side until it
is loaded i'm the form of commercially pure
iron briqucttes on the cars, it Is not touched
by human hands.
We are told that the steam shoves
have a capacity for lifting ten tons of
free rock minute, while the plants
crushing capacity is one-ffth greater
than that of all the stamp-mills in Cali
fornia, or "enough to level in an ordi-
nary lifetime the proudest of mountain
peaks" while the magnets have enough
combined pulling capacity to raise a
modern great gun clear from its deck
facing aud drop it over the side of the
vessel into the sea-" The sand-ore is
mixed with an adhesive material and
made into briquettes about three inches
in diamer. Twenty-eight hundred of
these are contained in one ton. An
average fTeight.car holds twenty tons.
Thus seventy-tlve car-lu'lS of pure iron
are wrested daily from heretofore worth
less rock-a well deserved triumph for
the inventor, and a blessing to mankind.

FILTERED BLOOD.
MOFrOW'S Method of Curing Dis
eases Accusing the Interests of
Scientists.

Physicians of all schools are beginning to
realize that the primary cause of nearly every
disease that attacks the human system is the
failure of the kidneys to perform the duties
nature assigned them.
The blood is constantly abs orbing from the
different articles of food taken into the stom
ach, various impurities, winch, If permitted
to course through the system, quickly render
healthy nutrition and ultimately result in the
development of disease.
1t is the duty of the kidneys to filter the
blood the slightest irregulanty in the per-
Torrance of this function is Immediately
manifested in a general weakening of the
body; tendency to give out with HttIeexer
ton This symptom is closely followed by
others of much more distressing nature which
it is often customary to attribute to other
causes.
John Morrow, an eminent chemist of
Springfield, ohio, using as a basis for his
work the theory that the kineys are respon.
sible for the condition of our health, has pro
duccd II new remedy which he has named
MOrrOw's kidneoids, the purpose OF which is
TO act directly on the Kidneys eliminating all
unnatural deposits and rectifying the damage
caused by their existence.
The remarkable results obtained by this
medicine have attracted wide attention and
established Il new method of treating disease,
the efilcacN OF which cannot be DISPUTED.
Morrow's kidneoids are prepared in yellow
tablets so small as 10 al uOst rob them Of their

EOIsON's LATEST.

In the current number of McClure's
Magazine Mr.. Theodore Waters explains
at length the Edison revolution in IRON
mining. He tells us that the worlds
annual output of iron ore does not reach
sixty million tons, and the annual out
put of the United States is about fifteen
million tons. Yet even within the two
miles square surrounding the plant
there is enough ore in the rocks to keep
the whole world supplied for one year,
even with the natural increase in de-
mand. The production of low-grade ore,
however, unless carried out on gigan-
tic scale, could not practically be carried
out at all. Even those engineers used to
large operations assured Mr.. Edison

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
YANKEE srook DYING OUT.

Things have come to such pass in
Vermont that the Yankees constitute
only two.thirds of the population of the
state. One.third of our people are
either foreign born or the children of
foreign-born parents. And the proper
ton of the straight Yankee stock is
growing smaller every year. Our bright
young men are leaving the state. ana
their places, so far as they are supplied
at all, are supplied by immigration; and
at the same time the birthrate of the
alien element is far in excess of that of
the native.
Yankees no longer have patrarchal
families, but the newcomers increase
and multiply. A iust-publshed census
report shows the disparity in a striking
light. The Yankee population of Yer
mont is 22j, 2lj, while the children of
fOreign-born parents number G2,l49, or
lust about twO-sevenths as many. Yet
these two-seventh had 1913 children
under a year old. while the natives had
only 3054. OF children four years old
and younger, the native population had
lG 400, while the offspring of foreign
years old the figures were 2l.034 and
SOB; If years, 20 Sl and SGOG; 10 years,
2O,G72 and 500; 2l years, 1902 and
Gol7.
1t will be seen at glance that there is
very large PERCENTAGE in favor of the
foreign element. In other words, the fig
ures show large excess of foreign over
native fecundity.
A similar story comes from Massachu-
sets. The annual report of the
Massachusetts State Board of Health
shows that during the forty years from
1886 to 1896 the population of the state
was more than doubled, the increase eX-
pressed in figures being 1867 ,Sll. OF
this number, however, 90l 1876, or nearly
two-thirds, were immigrants. The natur-
al increase-the excess of births over
deaths-during this period was only 4G3,-
40. an average of II ,56S year.
The birth rates of foreign and native
population show a steady excess of for
eign over native fecundity. There is, too.
an excess of females over males, obvious
ly caused by the emigration or death of
the males. Every year from 1886 to 1895
more boy than girl babies have been born
in the state. In fact, Massachusetts
mothers gave birth to a larger proportion
of boys than any country in the world,
where statistics are gathered, excepting
Austria and Italy. Nevertheless, the
state has 10000 more females than
males.
Furthermore, the death rates of native
and foreigners show that foreigners
not only have more children than
the natives, but outlve them. The
average death rate of the natives in
eight years has been 20.4 and of the for
eigners Ia to the thousand.
Comparisons of the tables show that by
process of emigration and death the ma
tive population has been diminished slow
ly for years, and that the process contin-
ues-gradually but notwithstanding

GOVERNMENT OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY

GOVERNMENT OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
The interesting portion of Secretary
Bliss report of the work of the depart
ment of the interior relates to Indian
Territory and Oklahoma. With refer
ence to the former he reports that mas
much as the agreements thus far reached
through the Dawes commission with
certain Indian tribes differ from one an
other, and inasmuch as a uniform system
of government must eventually be pro-
vided for the whole territory, he cannot
recommend that any agreements now
pending be ratified. While he does not
recommend any action that seems to
break faith with the five tribes, he calls
attention to chaotic conditions that have
arisen under their methods of business
administration, and especially to the
fact that leading Indians have absorbed
great tracts of land to the exclusion of
the common people and established
government by an Indian aristocracy.
lie also points out that a white pOpula-
ton now exceeding 200, 600 has settled
in the territory with the permission of
the Indian government, and improved
farms and built up villages, which it
holds merely as tenants by sufierance,
without any legal status or property
rights. In view of all these things, the
secretary urges that "nO government for
the Indian Territory will be satisfactory
until congress shall provide for a single
uniform system for the entire territory
that shall place all of its inhabitants in
possession of the rights of American
citizens" With this conclusion it is
needless to say that The Outlook heartily
agrees. Each year the anomaly of
Indian sovereignty within the American
republic increases; and now that the
Indian domain itself contains four times
as many white men as red men, the
anomaly has become intolerable. The
act of congress passed in June, making
our courts everywhere supreme and Civ
ing the president veto over the acts of
tribal councils, is stride in the right
direction which must be speedily fol-
lowed by others. With reference of
Oklahoma the secretary reports that the
population now exceeds 300, 1000, and
that the percentage of foreign born is
less than in any state in the Union.
Despite the depression, the assessed
valuation of property has increased from
$20,000,000 in 1891 to S32,OOO,0OO in
1897. There are 10000 pupils In the
schools.-The Outlook.
