Undiluted alcohol, hard cider, Jamai-

beverages on which the Indians from
the neighboring Omaha and Winnebago
reservations are in the habit of celebrat-
ing their occasional visits to Sioux City.

Winnebago tribe, is the only one whe
goes on sweet spirits Of inter drunks.
The pharmacist from whom Jim obtain

to which his customer put It, dnd the
Indian might have gone on indefinitely
had the ;whim net struck him to change
to another druggist.
The latter didn't understand when
Humphry asked for "piter mites" " and
the Investigation which followed
brought out the actual facts in the Gags.
Jim was speedily returned to the reser-

favorite poison. No attempt will be
made to punish the druggist from whom
he obtained the drug, as the latter was
ignorant of the use to which it was put.

The Maine disaster is an
other of the terrible calanities
that appall the civilized world
and show how feeble is mans
grasp on the forces of nature
once he loses control of their
logical relation. In the alb
sence of certain information as
to it's cause conjecture would
be foolish, but it does seem to
the lay mind that this contin-
ued construction of war engines
which experience proves are
dangerous to none so much as
to their own operators, is worse
than nonsense. The govern
ments of the world are a good
deal like small children playing
with fire. They may think
they are having lots of fun, but
the Lord only knows what they
won't do to themselves.

The evidence in the Latime1
massacre investigation with
remarkable consistency con-
tinues to show that the killing
was the most cold blooded and
unnecessary of the many off

the theater of more of these

The Labor World congratu-
lates the management of the
Industrial Bazaar upon the
success of it's undertaking.
We also greet the patrons of
the Industrial Bazaar and
hope that they may not only
find an hours pleasure, but
that their minds may broaden
with more comprehensive
understanding of the import
ance of labor in the building
up and maintenance of our
ninteenth century civil1za-
ton, and that, at the same
time, they may also be in
spired with more perfect ap-
probation of the innate dignity
that attaches to honest toll.
You can catch a glimpse
of the processes at which work
in ngmen spend many weary
hours; you can get some idea
of the toll, of the intelligence,
of the painstaking and faith
fulness which are a necessary
part of the competent working
man equipment; and we trust
that you will be inspired with
that higher appreciation that
is the forerunner in every land
and age of both material and
social development. You can
see that 1abor's efforts and
labor's ideals tend to promote
the general welfare; that it's
skill and enthusiasm is at the
foundation of industrial and
commercial success, and It
among the new ideas that may
come to you you may also be-
gin to understand that pros
perity, 1abor's 4 development,
1abor's welfare is not ininnical
to the prosperity, the develop
ment, the welfare of the whole
country, it's object will have
been attained and the manage
ment of this Exposition will
feel fully repaid for their
1abors.

Novel Philanthrophy,

Toronto is the scene Of novel form
of philanthropy. 1t is the care of the
teeth of children whose parents are too
poor to employ dentist. A local ply
stefan conceived the idea and sought
the aid Of theschurches. He was ready
to bear the financial burden alone, but
he desired the church people to assist
him in finding objects for his charity.
His notion was ridiculed, but he per-
sisted in it without assistance, expend-
ed much money in fitting up his dis
pensary and in employing assistants,
and last year he cared for the teeth
of nearly two thousand children He
seeks no aid from any quarter, but
finds it necessary occasionally to APP
peal to the citizens to furnish him with
the names of people who cannot afford
to spend money on their children's
teeth.

Measuring 40 Earthquake.

Some interesting computations and
investigations have been made on the
earthquake which disturbed Calcutta a
year ago. This earthquake was regis
tered at nineteen observatories in Eu-
rope (the most distant of which was
Edinburg, 1870 kilometres from the
epieenter. The seismographs and mag
Autographs made records of the distur-
Rance, and the average of the results
obtained indicates that the mean sur
face velocity of the first vibrations
was either nine or eleven kilometres
per second, according to the time Ia
ken for Calcutta These first vibra-
lions, which lasted for twenty-three
minutes, were followed by large, long
periodic oscillations whose velocity
was either 2.61 or 2.76 kilometres per
second. Crossing Italy the complete
wave must have been 81 kilometres in
length, and the height of its crest
about half a metre.

Electric Headlights for Locomotives.


Numerous experiments have been
made with electric headlights for loco
motives, and the advantages of this
form of lamp seem to be generally con-
ceded. In system that has met with
considerable success, a steam turbine
Is used to drive dynamo, both en-
CINE and dynamo being mounted on the
emoke-box, behind the lantern. The
entire apparatus is 26 inches long, 10
1nches high, and 18 inches wide. The
steam is directed against the rim Of
wheel which has five concentric
buckets, upon which the steam must
fmpinge before it passes into the ex-
Aaust chamber. The normal speed is
$500 revolutions per minute, and about
4 horsepower is developed. The dyna-
mo produces current Of % amperes
ct 40 volts pressure, which is supplied
to incandescent lamps in the cab, as
well as to the headlight, which con-
sists of an arc light of about 1000 can
die power. This apparatus has been
used on more than 200 locomotives.
and is growing in popularity.
