Conclusions Reached by n Famous En-.
gineer a Blow to Electricity.
Professor George Forbes, the de-
signer of the Great Niagara electrical
power plant, expresses the opinion
that, as a rule, electric locomotives,
with the power developed by steam,
would, if the work were carried out
on proper lines, be cheaper than the
steam railroad up to distance Of be-
tween forty and fifty miles from the
power station. If water power were
available for generating the electric
ity, the distance at which steam pow
er would begin to be cheaper on a busy
line is several hundred miles. These
-o.svo..,Orrr5 Ino IcourL CaICIIa-
tions with coal at $1.50 per ton. This
economy arises from the well-known
fact that in tho best trial tests of To-
comotives five pounds of coal are re-
quired for the horsepower hour, and
from the fact, equally well known,
that so good a result is rarely attain
ed, in nearly every case tho consump-
ton of coal being several times as
much as that indicated. These con-
illusions, however, do not give much
encouragement for the substitution of
electricity for steam, except in special
cases. A time may come when special
railroads will be built over long dis
tances to be worked electrically, and
in that case there are advantages of
totally different character, which will
favor electricity, depending upon the
fact that the locomotive will be abol-
ished and power applied to every axle
OF the train.

PROF. CLARK.

the Northwestern University. II was
through this that Mr.. Clark made the
most important of his astronomical
discoveries. His was the first eye to
peep at the stars through the perfect
lens. In order to try the new glass
he turned it upon Sirius, the great star
near the southern horizon. Sirius, or
the "dog star" is the largest IN the
sky, at least in apparent size, and one
of the most interesting. This great
blazing sun had been gazed at by many
trained observers, but it remained for
Mr.. Clark to find out that very near
and revolving around it was a com
paniOn, or a planet, perhaps, whose
light, if it had much light, had been
eclipsed by the great volume of light
radiated from Sirius.
Mr.. Clark's father was standing near
by when the son trained the telescope
on the matchless wonder of the south
ern sky, After looking for a moment
or two at the bright image in the tele-
scope young Clark turned to his father
and remarked quietly why. father,
the star has a companion" Other eyes
then looked and the younger Alvan's
fame was secure. Many could see the
companion CnCe they knew of its exis-
tence. The discovery was soon an
nounced to the world and in time the
French Imperial Academy of Science
rewarded the optician and astronomer
with one of it's highest honors-the La
lande medal for 1862.
To Mr.. Clark's credit must be placed
the discovery in all fourteen intricate
double stars. In fact, he almost rivals
the great Prof Burnham. now of the
Yerkes telescope. for his work in this
line, His chief claim to fame as an
astronomer, however, viii rest On his
discovery of the dark planet. or com
panion sun of Sirius. Through the
marvellous power of the immense So
inch refractor for the Lick telescope
in California new body was added
to the solar systematic fifth moon of
Jupiter-by the faithful observation
OF Prof Barnard. Mr.. Clark finished
that then peerless glass in 1887. and
K was predicted that many wears
would pass before it would be surpass-
cd. But a greater triumph for his skill
as an optician was soon TO come. The
University of Southern California. in
order to Cut-Lick Lick, ordered a IA
inch .refractor from MIR. Clark. The
disks were cast, but owing to financial
srCubles following the collapse of the
boom" in Los Angeles. they were left
upon his hands uncalled for.

Not Under CIvil Service.

me Washington Star is authority for
the statement that President Mckinley
has decided that the government print
ing office is not subject to the civil ser
vice law, and will issue an order short
iy after the adjournment of congress
to this effect.
IL is said that after having heard the
arguments on both sides of the uues-
ton he has decided that the applica-
ton OF the civil service law to the gov
eminent printing Office has been re-
Voked by the provision in the act pro-
Viding for public printing last year,
which makes 1t encumbent upon the
public printer to pass upon the fitness
OF employees in his office.
A very large number of prominent
Republicans have urged upon the pres
ident the propriety of taking the big
printing office out of the classified SER
vice, while the civil service commits
sioners have claimed that the provision
Of the public printing act requiring the
public printer to determine the fitness
of employees of his office in no way con-
fiicts with the civil service law.
The president, however, is said to
have been convinced that the law does
not include the printing office in the
classified service and that it, is proper
for him to announce the fact in an
executive order.
By delaying this action until after the
adjournment Of congress dismissals will
then be made with a view of perman-
emily getting rid of men not pleasing
to the administration, and when con-
|gress reassembles in December the pub
lie printer will be enabled to make sew
eral hundred appointments of men and
women upon the recommendation of
congressman

A Famous Indian CHIEF.

A Black River Falls, Wis, dispatch
says: Black Hawk, the mighty chief
OF the Winnebagoes, will visit the
Iowa 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
a famous line of fighters. He is a
nephew of the original Black Hawk
of the wars of 1882, and fought in the
battle of Bad AK. When the Indian
forces were finally overthrown on the
shores of the big Mississippi the young
Sac warrior drifted northward. and
soon became a noted hunter in the
land OF the Winnebagoes. His prowess
and lmperious ways soon made him
the absolute master of a 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
tribe which assembled on the return Of
the original Black Hawk. The young
chief openly accused his powerful I'M
Gle OF cowardice when he said that the
white men were as countless as the
sands of the rivers When old Black
Hawk dies he will leave no heir. His
only son was killed three years ago
In fierce encounter with Jim Swal-
low, stalwart brave of the Winnie
bagoes. Black Hawk will be the chief
attraction at the Iowa State fair in
case he is able to bear up under the
unaccustomed journey.

Natal Know mer nusInc.s.


The United States is not the only
country that is alive to the dangers of
unrestricted immigration. Natal is one
of Great Britain's fiourishing colonies
in Southern Africa, and there now is
pending in the legislative assembly a
measure that prohibits the landing of
any immigrant who cannot give these
evidences of fitness:
/. Ability to write mot merely to
read) in some European language.
2. sound, healthy condition of
body.
3. The possession of at least E25,
which is equal to $125.
4. Proof that he is not in any way
assisted" by the government of any
city, province or nation.
8. That he never has been convicted
of any crime.
These are provisions in comparison
with which those of the Lodge bill are
very mild. And they are provisions of
Il measure that is introduced to the leg
isiature of a country with an area of
about 81 600 square miles, and a popu
lation of less than 100000, and of which
little more than $4,000 are of European
descent.

the condition Of the State Federation
Of Labor is such as imparts confidence
to every trade unionist in the state. No
small share of credit for this satisfac-
tory condition Of affairs is due to the
secretary of the State Fedora
ton, Mr.. George e. Shaver of Des
with the labor movement in 1884, when
Moines.
Mr.. Shaver first became identified
in June Of that year he assisted James
r. Sovereign in organizing an assem-
bly, of the knights of Labor at Indian
ola, Iowa, where Mr.. Shaver then re-
sided, removing to Des Moines in 1889.
Mr.. Shaver dropped out of the Knights
of Labor and in 1891 assisted in organ
izing local No 246 of the Brotherhood
of Painters and Decorators of America
IN Des Moines. which started out with
sixty-four charter members. Mr.
Shaver was elected a trustee on the
night of organization, and from that
time TO the present he has continually
held Office, having filed the presiden-
tiai chair three terms, and is now serv-
ing a second term as financial secre-
tary, In June, 1891, Mr.. Shaver was
appointed delegate to the Central
Trades and Labor Assembly of Des
Moines, and has served continuously
as a delegate ever since. He has served
three terms as president of the assem-
bly,, and is at present recording and
corresponding secretary,
The Iowa State Federation of Labor
was organized in May, 1898, and Mr..
Shaver was in attendance as a delegate
from his own union. He was elected
secretary treasurer at the first meet
ing, and still holds the office. The
constitution of the state federation pro-
vides that the secretary-treasurer be
placed under bond, but the confidence
in Mr.. Shaver's integrity is so strong
that this formality has never been eX
acted by the executive committee. Mr..
Shaver is also state organizer for the
American Federation of Labor, so that
it will readily be seen that although
very active man Mr.. Shaver is liable to
have his hands full in discharging the
duties of his various official positions

When it was decided by the Univer-
sity of Chicago to erect telescope
larger in aperture than that on Mount
Hamilton, Mr.. Clark was called to Chi
cago and arrangements were made to
take up the disks ordered by the Cali
fornlans. Four years ago the grinding
began, and it was only the other day
that Mr.. Clark saw the Yerkes tele-
scope turned upon the stars and knew
that the greatest effort of his remarka-
BILE life-the greatest effort of any man
in optics-was a success. Mr. Clark,
outside OF his discoveries in double
stars, did little astronomical work, He
was a member of the expedition that
went to Kentucky in 1869 to observe
the eclipse of the sun in that year, and
he was also a member of the expedi-
ton in 1870 to Spain. and of 1873 to
Wyoming for similar purposes. He
was a pleasant, genial man, of gener-
GUS disposition, not caring much for
money, but having an infinite pride and
interest in his work He was descend
ed from Thomas Clark, who was said
to have been the mate of the Mayfiow-
err, and who was the first of the Pill
grims to step upon American SOIL
