Idaho Exhibit at Omaha.

Idaho Is 10 be represented at the
Omaha exposition after all, notwith-

the members, informed Statesman re-
porter that Idaho would be represented

This Means Business,

On the principal lines of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway passen-
ger trains are electric-lighted, steam
heated and protected by block signals,
With these modern appliances, rail-
way travelling at high speeds has reach
ed degree Of safety heretofore un-
known and not attainable on roads
where they are not In use. Electric
lights aud steam heat make 1t possible
to dispense with the oil lamp and the
car stove. Block signals have reduced
the chances for collisions to the mini
mum by maintaining an absolute In
tcrval OF space between trains. l.. l..

How CavaIrv Horses Are Broke.

How CavaIrT Horses Are Broken.
A war horse Is broken to be steady
under fire by tying ropes to his legs.
While the animal Is down on the
ground the officer takes q pistol aud
fires it close to his ear. Then in rapid
order be fires the weapon over his back,
under his neck, between his legs, any
where that an opening presents itself
during the horses futile struggles.
Not until he sinks back exhausted, all
a-tremble, and showing the whites OF
his eyes, does the pistol practice cease.
After two or three lessons of this kind
1t is considered safe to mount him with
bride furnished with a curb bit. Up
to this time the horse has never felt q
curb. The light snaffie is still retained,
and the curb bride is only given gen.
tie pressure at first, just enough to let
him know that it is there. Gradually
the strength OF the pull is increased,
and with this safeguard the horse is
taught to stand fire from the riders
pistol or carbine.
In carbine practice the horse must be
thoroughly broken, rs both hands are
required in using this weapon, whereas
with the pistol the rider may retain the
bride with one hand.
Then comes sabre practice, and that
is another trial to the horse. Again is
he thrown to the ground and when the
bright blade Of the sabre, with quick
thrusts flashing before his eyes and cut
ting the air in close proximity to his
ears, appears to him, he is again terror
stricken. Dumb Animals.

In Germany, it is said, paper floors
are well liked because, having no joints
they are more easily kept clean, they
are poor conductors of heat and of
sound, and they cost less than hard
wood floors. They are put dawn in the
form of paste, which is smoothed with
rollers and after it has hardened,
painted of any desired color or pattern.

CANNOT BECOME NATURALIzED.

Porto Ricans VIII Be Transferred Bod
lily In Peace Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Oct l9.-In view of
the fact that at noon yesterday, with
the acquisition of the island of Porto
Rico by the United States, about $780,
600 inhabitants of that island lost their
Spanish citizenship, the question of
what shall become of these people poiti-
cally becomes of Importance Madrid
advices report that leading citizens in
Porto Rico have already taken steps to
become naturalized as United States
citizens. This is an error, for the ex-
lstlng law provided no way in which
this change Of citizenship can be effected
by the residents of the island.
There is no Unived States court there
before which a declaration of intention
can he filed and in fact 10 machinery at
all which can be put in motion to change
citizenship.
Inquiry into this subject at the state
department Hscloses the fact that it has
been usual to provide for bodily trans
fer OF the citizenship Of people condi-
toned as those in Porto Rico in the
treaty of peace which terminates a war.

To Fight Tobacco Trust

ST. Louis, Oct. 19.-Colonel M. T.
Wetmore, at the head of the great to-
bacco works Of the Liggett g. Myers
company of this city, declares there is
nothing in the reports circulated around
the country of new combination of
plug tobacco manufacturers under the
leadership of his company to oppose the
American Tobacco company. The Post
Dispatch today says: Dispatches from
Louisville indicate that there is to be a
combination to fight the trust whether
the Llggett g. Myers company is to be
in it or not. The independent tobacco
manufacturers Of Louisville, notably
John Finer & Bros. and the Henry
Weissinger Tobacco company, are very
bitter against President Duke of the
American Tobacco company.

Why the Leaves Fall In Autumn.

The plant is most delicately self
regulating organism. 1t cannot in
crease the water supply, but it may
and does decrease the evaporating
surface by casting or shedding the
leaves, a reaction which it exhibits
to other conditions as well. Like
the true seaman, however, the plant
does not shorten sail by cutting
away it's canvas, but, by deliberate
and we'll timed series of processes,
withdraws all of the substances
from the leaf which may be useful
to it back into its body before it dis
cards the empty sheets of cells and
woody fbers of the petiole and lam
ina.
The reduction of the water sup
ply and the beginning Of the proc
esses leading to defoliation occur
long time before the temperature of
the air is depressed to the freezing
point or the formation of frost. The
influence of low temperatures upon
the plant is illustrated by the man
ner in which leaves of tobacco and
melon plants blacken and die as the
result of cool nights before the &C.
ourrence of frost. These plants
transpire a relatively large amount
Of water from the broad leaves, and
it the temperature of the soil de-
sends to 40 degrees F. the roots
are unable to take up the necessary
supply of water, and the leaves are
literally dried out, though they are
incorrectly described as frozen or
frosted by gardeners. ID. T. Mac
Dougal in Harper's Magazine.

Languages of the Future.

A writer in leading magazine

only three languages-English, Rus

guage will be spoken all over North
and South America, in Australia,
India, Africa, New Zealand and the
islands of Australia and the Pacific.
The Russian tongue will have con-
quered all Europe except Great Brit
ain and all Asia except India. Chi
nese will hold sway over the rest of
the world.

ANNUAL LOSS BY FIRE.
It Has Been Very Much Reduced by I'm.
proved Methods of Fighting Fire.

It Has Been Very Much Reduced by Inn.
proved Methods of Fighting Fire.
Mr.. Charles T. Hill, the artist,
who has been writing a series of pa.
pers for st. Nicholas on the New
York fire department, has a final
paper on 1.-The Fire Patrol" Mr..
Hill says:
The annual loss by fire in the
United States amounts to 800, OOO,-
900, and fully one-half of this loss is
caused by the water used in extin-
gushing the fires. Before the in
PRODUCTION, in 1872, of controlling or
shut off MOBILES used on the fire
hose, the percentage of loss by wa
ter was even greater-at least two
thirds of the total loss. Previous to
the introduction of this much need
ed device there was used what was
known as an "open pipe, !" a plain
open nozzle, with no continuance for
shutting off the water. When it
was necessary to shut off, the order
had to be passed to the engineer,
sometimes long distance from the
fire, and unless the nozzle could be
thrust from convenient window
the water would go pouring out,
spreading destruction in all direc-
tons. In small fires, especially in
up stairs fires in private dwell.
ings, or in business houses stocked
with perishable goods, such as feath-
ers, silks, ETC., the unnecessary
destruction of property was very
great.
Today fires are fought much
more scientifically and with a great
deal more system than were those
of 10 OF 20 years ago, and officers in
command OF engine companies are
usually very careful not to use any
more water than is absolutely neces-
sary.
Nearly every hose wagon in the
New York fire department today
carries three sizes of hose-the reg
ulation size, ~ inches, used at all
ordinary fires; 3 inches (known as
"third alarm hose and only used
at fires of considerable magnitude),
and small hose carried on reel
under the wagon. This hose is IL
inches in diameter and very easy to
handle, and, on account of the ease
with which any number of lengths
Of it can be carried about, it is that
oftenest used at small fires III dwell
ing houses, Office buildings and flats.
With a controlling nozzle on the
end, the fireman can dash up several
flights of stairs and into bedroom
or closet and extinguish small fire
before it has time to spread, using
the water only where it is absolutely
needed. To drag the regulation size
1t weighs about 80 pounds to the
length-up and around winding
stairways, ETC., would take much
longer and perhaps give fire time
to get just beyond the point of easy
control; besides, when the water is
finally started, a great deal more is
used by this hose than is necessary,
especially in the case of small fire.
1t has been practically demonstrated
that considerable amount of fire
can be extinguished with a small
amount of water applied effectively,
and the use of the small hose has
done much to reduce the damage by
water at fires in dwellings and flats.
