A Premium Potato.

Arrangements have been made with

supply of the famous Adirondac pota-
toes for seeding purposes, to offer 25-
pound sack of this famous tuber as a
premium for years subscription to
the STANDARD.
The Adirondac is q large, smooth
potato of excellent quality. 1t took
the premium at the Worlds Fair in
Chicago over 5000 competitors. Its
published sworn record states that S75
pounds were produced from one potato,
2,575 pounds from 60 "eyes" in dry
season, and 825 bushels to the acre.
If any of our subscribers are desir-
Gus of obtaining a "start" of this ex.
cellent variety, we will furnish %
pounds and years subscription fol
the sum of 50 in advance.

Warrington Well Fortified.

In view of the fact that the ma
tional capital was once taken and
burned by foreign enemy it is reas-
surfing to know that calamity so hui
initiating is not likely to occur again,
even in case of sudden war.
Washington is the best defended
city in the country. A hostile fleet
could not now ascend the Potomac, rs
was done in 1914, when President
Madison and his wife were compelled
to make hurried escape across the
Potomac to avoid capture by the Brit
ish.
For military and prudential reasons
little has been allowed to be made
known concerning the new works and
the heavy ordnance recently installed
below the city, but for some years en-
gineers have been busy at the river
forts. Some very formidable guns are
now in position there, and system of
torpedo defenses has been perfected
which would render the approach of
an enemy's warships within IL miles
OF Washington practically impossible.
The defensive works are located at
at the elbow" Ur tnrn, of the Poto-
mac where old Forts Washington and
Sheridan stood, and where at one
point the channel for vessels of deer
draft is but 800 yards wide.
The guns are protected ON the water
side by emplacement walls of stone
and concrete 20 feet thick, and on
the land side by redoubts for infantry
The rapidly increasing wealth and
Importance of Washington, the grand
new public building and the vast sums
of money and bullion in the treasury
render these protective and defensive
measures q matter of national impor
lance and necessity.

GREAT TELESCOPE.
The Lenses Shipped From CIark's
Works i'm Cambridge.

From Clark's lens works, Cambridge,
Mass, has been shipped in n special
parlor car two discs which form the
lens for the Yerkes telescope, the
largest lens ever made. The car was
attached to the Chicago express.
Clark, maker of the lens; Carl Ludlin,
his foreman, who spent several years
in polishing the great discs, and
another workman accompanied the
valuable cargo.
The greatest care was taken that
no harm should befall the two discs,
and in their large cases in the center
of the car they were SO adjusted on
springs that the jolting would not
damage them. Guards have been
stationed at both doors of the car, and
every precaution taken that outsiders
and curiosity-seekers shall in no way
interfere with the transfer of the lenses.

This Yerkes lens is the largest and
finest in the world. 1t represents
nearly six years of careful labor, and
completed is valued at $4,000. The
glass came from the factory of Man.
tots, in Paris. The lens is All inches
on the surface diameter and weighs
SIS pounds. The exposed surface, or
aperture, is 40 inches, the other inch
and half being taken up by the cas-
ing. This makes it just four inches
larger than the Lick telescope lens,
which was also made by Clark, and
has held the place of honor in the
world of astronomy.

OLD-T:ME DEBATERS SURPRISED
James Hamilton Lewis Entertains
the National House.

the NatlOnal 1hOuScs
James Hamilton Lewis, the Demo-
cratic representative from the State of
Washington, entertained the House
for nearly an hour the other day.
That he can be entertaining when he
tries was clearly in evidence. So was
the fact that he can pull an adversary
over the Goals and toast him brown
while politely complimenting his
--uliit,- aa,-- .i-~ Wash,re ton Post.
He started out ON little 1O-min-
ute speech favoring concurrence in
the Senate amendment permitting
the immediate use for a survey of $1O,-
600 from the existing appropriation of
$4,000 for the construction of a
great ship canal from Puget Sound to
q fresh water harbor in Lake Wash
ington which lies just back of the city
of Seattle. The original appropriation
is not available until the right of way
has been decided to the government.
Few members were in their seats
when he began talking, but his voice
is clear and penetrating and its dis
tinctive cadence and rapidity of utter
ance at once attracted attention.
Smile, trope and metaphor chased
one another in apparently inextrica-
BILE disorder, but always reaching a
correct termination. The seats filled
up and the press gallery likewise. The
marvel was how a local matter, ap-
parently, could be made of interest to
so many old-timers of debate. The
ten minutes passed and was extended
not only one but two or three times.
Cannon and Sayers attacked the
amendment and the new member held
his own. Finally, Danford, of Ohio,
objected to further continuance Of the
debate, when Bailey, the Democratic
leader, made personal appeal for his
colleague to have another ten minutes
and Mr.. Danford did not renew his
objection.
