England is about to build torpedo

progress made recently in building fast
vessels of this type has been 50 remark

The world would probably wag along
quite as we'll if great speed we've not
secured for the warships.

SURPRISE TO DEPoslToRs

English Bank Failure Shocks Many
Indiana Farmers and Merchantx
English, Ind, Nov. 15.-Every resi-
dent of Crawford county was shocked>
Saturday morning when it was learned
that the English bank had failed to
open its doors. Coupled with this came
the report that President Willet, of the
Leavenworth branch, had not been seen
for three days and that his mind was
temporarily unbalanced over the death
of his mother. AS soon as the failure be-
came known the banks branches at
Leavenworth, Cannellton and Marengo
also closed. Nearly every farmer in
Crawford and Perry counties is said to
be concerned in the failure for amounts
ranging from 5000 to $4,000. County
Treasurer Brown has placed more than
$4,000 with the suspended bank. No
schedule of assets and liabilities can be
given, but both are large.

FOR FRUGIvOROUS FOOD.

Dr' FOLK OswAld's Interesting C0ntribus
tioD to the Literature Of Food.
DR.. Felix Oswald contributes TO
Health Culture an article in which he
asserts that what are called canine
teeth" are not canine in any sense or
significance. They correspond, he says,
to the eye teeth in man-instead of the
eye teeth in man corresponding to them,
it will be noted-and are enormously
developed in several species of balloons
that would unhesitatingly prefer q
bunch of wild grapes to q porter-house
steak. DR.. Oswald does net believe that
man Is carnivorous animal, and he
terms the idea that man cannot live on
strict vegetable diet ''the meat delu.
sion." He notes again that normal
children have an aversion to flesh food
in its undisguised state, and ridicules
the notion that meat promotes muscle
and conduces to longevity.
The conclusion is drawn from DR.. o.
wald's Investigations "that total alb.
stinence from flesh food would pro-
mote the cause of moral as we'll MS
physical health" and would contribute
no little to advance "the blessings of
international peace" and If it would
certainly do either there would be suf-
hcient warrant for organizing society
or something to popularize the cause
nc advocates and persuade people to
carry his ideas into general effect. The
world will probably go very slow, Of
course, in giving up its savory ''steal, s,"
cuts, and such things for an exclu.
sive diet OF barley bread and dried figs,
even with ghee and beans thrown in
for the sake of luxury, but the good
doctors essay will not be without its
use nevertheless. II our farmers in
South Carolina will not raise sheep and
cattle in order to supply themselves and
us'with the beef and mutton products
which our souls, so to speak, so per.
sistently crave, there is considerable
comfort to be derived from the assur-
ance OF 30 high medical authority that
we are oil the better and brawnier
without them.

LAMP AND CLOCK COMBINED,

~ was . Common ContrivaDce In the
Seventeenth Century.
OF the various examples that have
been given of carly specimens OF the
elockmaker's art not the least interest.
ing are the several types of lamp
CLOCKS. One of these, says Casters
Magazine. was Of u kind quite common
In the seventeenth century, and con-
sisted OF lamp burner placed at the
base OF glass oil receptacle mounted
vertically on a suitable standard. The
Oil reservoir had attached to it a scale,
facing the burner and showing the
hours, beginning at four o'clock in the
afternoon at which time the lamp was
to be lighted in winter, and ending at
seven c'"lo". IN the morning. The
lamp being lighted, the gradually de-
scending level of tho oil, as combus-
ton proceeded, marked the hours. The
other device, of later origin, dating
back to the beginning of the present
century, utilized the same principle. It
consisted OF two communicating oil
chambers, supcrposcd by a clock dial.
In one OF the chambers was placed a
night lamp to illuminate this dial, and
In the other was suspended float from
cord which passed around a small
pulley. The latter was mounted on a
horizontal axis ending in the center of
the dial. The float of course descended
rs the oil was consumed and carried
the index hand along with it, thus
making the hours precisely as in the
case already cited. At their best, these
timepieces could have had only an in
different degree of accuracy, yet they
probably served their purpose we'll, and
certainly are interesting at the present
time as illustrating some of the expedi-
ents adopted by mechanic;ans Of au
earlier period.
