ment. which does not orwill not see that the
situation is one of the worst /. has ever hal

famine districts fail to reveal. may even
be- said to conceal the terrible perspec-

fore the natives. Tne government of India
and the Indian Office are doing what they
can to prevent information from indepnnd-
ent sources from reaching the public aud

The official aim in attempting to mini

Feeding q Great Furnace.

The following account of feeding q
grent furnace is interesting as showing
the progress of inventions in this di-
rectiOn.
"The Martin furnace, at the LAUGH
hammer works near Rics, has to be
charged eight times day with nearly
thirteen tons of iron. This has hith-
erto been done by hand at great ex-
pense OF time and money. But with
the new feeding apparatus one man
can do in one-tcnth of the time the
work of the four men who had hitherto
been necessary, and he is not sub
jectcd to anything like the same
temperature. The old iron is now
loaded in the yard into iron
troughs, three or four of which rest
on II small truck which is hauled by
an electric motor to the front of the
furnace. On II second parallel line is
the feeding machine proper, good
sized elcctromcter and three small
ones. The feed wagon runs rapidly
to one of the troughs, long gripper
swings out, catches it, lifts it from the
truck, runs with it to the door of the
furnace, thrusts it in, dumps its con-
tents, draws out the trough, and con-
veys it back empty to its place. The
wonderfully accurate and comprehen-
sive work Of automatic machinery is
one of the astonishing achievements
OF the present day.

ArmeniamS Killed by Thousands.

There will never be any Trustworthy
report of the number of Armeniuns
killed during the thirty-sx hours of
the massacre of ConstantinopIe Some
of the officials seem to have two sets
of rccords-both equally wrong. One
report was prepared for the Sultnn's
eyes. In the hope Of commentator
for zeal in depressing rebellion. actual
and possible, it places the total of
Armenian dead at more than eight
thousand. The other report was made
ont for consumption in Europe, in the
hope OF convincing the world that
nothing has occurred worthy of con-
demnation. 1t declares the number
OF Armcnans dead to be eleven hum
bred. The actual fact probably
is that between four thousand and six
thousand persons were killed from
sheer hate Of rnce, beside any few
scores of actual rcvolutionists who
may hive fallen through, their own
folly. OF Turks, military and civil
ian, their own authOriticssa that less
than one hundred and fifty we're killed.
Nevertheless, the ollic al documents
declare that the whole of these disor.
deis were the work of Armcnians.
SO far us the Turkish official utter.
ances are concerned, not one particle
of regret or shame or remorse is felt
for the destruction Of these thousa nds
of helpless creatures. -S5cribncr's.

Electric Pickles.

New uses for electricity are constant
ly being discovered. A fish dealer
runs wire up through his counter
and shoves it into n huge block of fish
and then labels it electric fish," Any
one curious enough to touch the fish
with his fingers receives very per-
ceptible shock, which convinces him
that the fish is correctly labeled.
Recently IL local dealer in pickles,
who has dozen varieties on display
in pans set on top OF the different
casks, had wire run along with u
little branch of copper wire running
into each pan. This charged the
pickles SO that any one putting a fin
ger in the pan to sample one received
smart shock. just whether this was
intended to keep people from sampl.
ing the pickles or as joke on those
who intended to do SO, is not known,
but after putting finger near one
pan, no one attempted to touch an
other. If one took up the pan or put
his hand on the pickles lie receives no
noticeable shock, but the sensitive
end of finger put near q pickle re.

Judge Brown fixed Fawcett's lail ut

the accusation against him and saws that all

Cattle Commissioner Deering said he
thought DR.. Choa!es statement was none
too high. DIR. George ii. Bailey of the COM
mission controvcrtcd DR.. Choates statement
and very cmphatirally said the perez ntage
was nowhere near ID percent-in fact not
onc-quartcr as much.
In an interview DR.. Choatc said I'm one
dag we killed three cattle on the outskirts of
Lewiston, and all Of them proved to hayo
lang trouble. / said some time ago that
believed that Is percent of all the cattle in
this state had tuberculosis. and since hnvo
begun to make these examinations | am
confident that l placed the perccn age
too low. found one herd in this county
where the percentage was 100, all the
cattle having the disease. At another place
