EVERYBODY has heard the COM
mon expression that some men can
talk hole through plank. Proba-
bly, nobody has thought that this
could ever express literal fact. It
has remained for the wizard Edison to
devise an instrument that will accom-
plish this wonderful feat. The instru-
ment consists elementally OF dia-
phragm, a ratchet, and q toothed
wheel. Vibrations communicated to
the diaphragm by means of the human
voice are converted by the ratchet and
toothed wheel into rotary motion,
which is transmitted through q sworn
gear" to q gimlet; the gimlet bores It's
way through q board of any thickness.
Of course the boring process Is some-
what slow, but the traditional bore
does not always do his work in q hu. ry.
It would often be q relief If he did.
Mr.. Edison hss applied the Same princi-
pie to clock winding contrivance.
All that is necessary to wind the clock
is to swear ut it for few minutes earn
estly, and the job 10 done. Great Is
science.

THERE was time. and it is not so
far agone, when it was said that we had
all to learn from the old world and that
the older nations could gain little from
a study of our own peculiar institu-
tions and methods. It is still true that
this country has much to learn from
the older countries, which have spent
centuries, it may be, in solving prob
lens upon which we are expanding all
our energies, and have fitted their own
practice to their own peculiar con-
ditlons in a way that, while it must be
taken with notifications, still should
give US many helpful hint in
our own work. This is notably true
with matters of municipal administra-
tion and control of the natural mono
poles and the great public corpora
tions. But it will be a surprise to many
people to learn that the nations of the
old world are coming to us for ideas,
and are investigating our own marvel

Dipping at St. Louis.

In regard to southern cattle dipping
at the ST. Louis national yard, Msnag-
er 81. P. Chesley feels confident that
with the proper oil and with protection
for the cattle from cold or excessive
heat it will be success. Mr.. Chesley
doubts the feasibility of dipping cattle
in very cold weather. DR.. BrouGham
of the bureau of animal industry says
all the cattle that died after dipping or
at least all that were given q post
norton examination showed all the
symptoms of splenetic fever. the great
ly enlarged and broken-down spleen,
the bloody bladder, etc. DR.. Brougham
says this is because the germs of the
disorder, always present and generally
dormant in the systems of extreme
southern cattle, were given . chance
to assert themselves after the shock of
the plunge when they we're In q weaken
ed condition. He says that it does not
mean that the cattle had southern
fever by any means, but that it illus
trated an interesting popularity. DR..
Robard of the Missouri state inspec-
ton force says he is passing southern
cattle into Missouri upon inspection, as
that state is not now taking southern
cattle any time q year that have not
been dipped or inspected.-Drovers

A PARAGRAPH in the annual report
of the Nebraska state board of trans

A PARAGRAPH in the annual repor,
of the Nebraska state board of trans
portation, referring to the matter OF
passes to Office holders and politicians,
is most significant. The list OF officials
holding passes is given, and it includes
nearly every prominent politician In
the state. The report goes on to say
"Some passes are granted for the same
reason that an unarmed Citizen sur
renders his purse in the night-for
peace and safety. There are highway
men who hold up corporations, can
didates for Office, and evildoers, who
pay to avoid exposure. Such men
sometimes become members of legis-
latures. Passes are granted these men,
not for the good they do. but to keep
them from doing harm" The passage
of law prohibiting railroads from
giving passes to state officials, and the
latter from accepting passes, IL recon-
mended.

the subject under consideration.
Is Ia good move and the stockmen
will do we'll to communicate with Judge
W. Van Sickle. of Alpine. for further
particulars. Many of our cattlemen
could more than pay their assessments
in bounties on animals killed.
The following are the most import
ant resolutions adopted:
"SecOnd-TO carry out the purpose
of this organization the following as
easements be made in the manner here
matter provided: Cattle are to be as
sessed at cent per head; stock horses,
! cent per head, and sheep ! cent per

denor bed, So; panthers, $40; coyotes,
SO cents; wild cats, 81.
"Fourth-As hereinafter explained
the reward is to be paid on the pres
eminent of the hide and one fore foot
attached
StOckmen are requested to send their
names to Judge Van Sickle and to re-
commend some person to act as local
committeeman, to assess stockmen, re-
ceive scalps and draw on the treasurer
for the bounties. A second meeting
will be held on December 18th, to
elect officers and complete the organ
ization.

point " g make the suggestion that our

come mem bers, and we place r. B.

Texans Feeding At Home.

The number of Texas cattle fed at
home this year will be greater than
for long time. The rule that no cattle
can be shipped from below the qusran-
tine line except such as pass q rigid
inspection, or have been dipped under
government supervisor, has been q
ers and Southern sellers. The result
ID that Texas stockmen will do their
own feeding this year, thing
they can do as SUCCESSFULLY az anybody.
Feed is fortunately abundant in Texas
and better opportunity never pre-
sented itself to Texas stockmen to
show their Northern friends what they
can do.-San Antonio Express.

The San Angelo cattle shipments
are estimated at 240O carloads this
year, and about 5000 of these cattle
have been shipped to feeding points in
Texas and the Indian Territory, all
the stock so disposed representing
Tom Green, Coke. Sterling, Crockett,
Sutton and Schleicher counties. Tom
Green county alone is shown by the
rolls to hdve 73,774 cattle, and scarce
ly no local feeding is done. Except in
few localities and mainly that in the
Pecos Valley region $50 miles west of
San Angelo, the range is said to be
excellent and the stock in fine con-
dition for wintering. The recent snow
falls, the subsequent rains and the
moderate season now prevailing make
the outlook for another year full of
hope to stock men.-San Antonio Ex-
