THE DIESEL MoT0R.

The Diesel motor is the latest, and if not the best it is evidently pretty good. This motor is the invention of Rudolph Diesel. Though constructed along the lines of existing gas and petroleum en- zines, it differs from them radically. There IS no explosion, but instead definite combustion, and the fuel may be gas oil or powdered coal, the fuel charge not being drawn into the cylirl- der with the air and there compressed with it, but the air is given prelimi- nary compression in two stages and to a much higher degree than is custom ary, reaching five hundred pounds to the square inch. The final stage of this compression is attained in the working cylinder when the fuel is admitted, and Is nt once ignited by the heat of com precision, no special igniting device be- ing necessary. Under this arrangement the combustion produces an increase of pressure, which impel5 the piston, and at the end of the stroke the gases ex- pand still further in second cylinder,
 after which they are discharged into
 the air. By such a method the very
 high degree of compression insures a
 rapid and thorough combustion and a
 higher upper limit of temperature than is otherwise attainable; also, the fuel is burned gradually, and not explosive ly, as the indicator cards show, and the combustion can be cut off about as sharply and definitely as the pressure in steam engine. The high pressure
 gases are fully expanded in two cylin- ders.
 This motor has been examined and approved by Lord Kelvin of England l and Professor Schroter of Germany, the | two highest authorities on thermo-dy- | namics in their respective countries I Our consul-general at Frankfort, MT. | Mason, says that expert commissions from all civilized countries, including
 Japan and Australia, have visited Augs. burg to see the new motor. and all have | gone home convinced of it's wonderful utility. A perfected 1000 horse-powel Diesel motor is now expected to be tht crowning feature of the German de partment in the Paris Exposition ol

Bateman's figures. In America, where the climate is of itself cause of exhil- aration, where the conditions of life are fairly easy, and where the tempera- nent of the people conduces to a near ly universal self-satisfaction, there is a positive decrease the tendency to over-drinking-a tendency at nd time very marked. Tn England and Ger many, where the people are solid, where despair is uncommon, and ner- vous depression the portion of only a few in every hundred, the habit re- mains, among the bulk of the people, almost stationary.
 It is in France that drinking is now most prevalent, and is assuming the form form least connected with the act ual enjoyment of fermented liquor, Many men, probably most men among those who take it, enjoy the flavor of wine or beer, but very few enjoy spir- its except for the sake of the results which they produce, They swallow them down rather than drink them, "toss them off"-that has become a colloquial form-rather than attempt to enjoy their flavor. Yet the French, thouh wine is more plentiful in France than in any other country, and though they are all trained from childhood to drink it,are taking to stronger spirits of peculiarily nasty fiavors take to them with such vehemence and abandon that in some departments the artisans, especially in towns, are swallowing lit tie glasses from morning till night. and expend upon eau-devie half their en- tire wages What is the cause of that alteration of habit, which is admitted on afl hands and serious alarm to the government?. There has been no climatic change in France, no decrease in her prosperity, no demand on her people for more severe forms of la bor. We believe that the change is mental, that in France, more than in any other country, the people are be- coming depressed and pessinistic, partly through the general loss of their faith, partly through conscious ness that they are not as great in the

THE NEW sUnGICAn wRINRLE.

THE NEW SURGICAL WRINKLE.
 Gentle reader, be on your guard If you have pain in your interior de- partment tell it not in Gath or any where else. The noted surgeons" have up to now been reasonably content With attempting to mollify such pain by cutting off only the little vermi- form appendix. Now, it appears, noth- ton of the stomach. Three of these beautiful and attractive operations have already been performed, one in Europe and two in this progressive country. All three were highly suc- cessful." The European subject is still living. The two in this country are dead, having been too weak or Rsome- thing to live after such highly suc- cessful operation.
 So far the mortality" in this splen- did operation Is only sixty-six and two- thirds per cent, which is a very en- couraging fact, when all the facts are considered. But those who don't want to be per-cented in that way will do well to be wary. If the extirpation of the stomach is to become as prevalent and popular as the extirpation of the vermiform appendix there is glory ahead for noted surgeons and quiet graves ahead for those unable to rally from a highly successful operation.

At Nuremberg in Germany, Diesel motors are being built for street and railroad cars as we'll as for a motor tricycle.. It will occupy only one third of the space of the ordinary petroleum motor. The best steam engines realize from 1S to 15 per cent. of the total amount of power in the fuel consumed, while ordi- nary high pressure engines may not utilize more than or per cent. of the total.

THE cAuEss or DRUNKENNESS.

THE CAUESS or DRUNKENNESS. The usual explanation of drinking is that it is passion, kind of lust which seizes upon people for no particular reason, and when indulged gradually masters them until they are unable, even when anxious, to resist the crav- ing. We are convinced that this the ory is unfounded. A desire or lust of that kind implanted in human nature would be universal, and it is certain that the craving for liquor in excess is not only not universal, but in some and in all is exhibited only by a minor- ity of the population. We believe that there is among Asiatics, who are all more or less weary of life, desire to be rid of consciousness desire marked in their creeds-af1d therefore a hank ering after the stronger sedatives like opiun so there is among western men, who revel in life and wish to enjoy 1t, a desire for artificial means of exhilara- tion, of which the one easiest to ob- tain and pleasantest to consume is al- cohol.
 The man who drinks begins drinking from wish to be happier, to be fuller
 
 able to take a more sanuine view of things around him. He does not drink to become stupid but to become gay. The teetotaler often denies it, declaring that drink does not inspirit him-which is true, no doubt, of indi- viduals, was true, for instance, of the great artist, Charles Keene, who, though not teetotaler had a physical
 
 all western literature in all ages has affirmed it, and 1t gives meaning and motive to every drinking song that has ever caught the general ear. If that is true the races and classes which feel least the necessity for exhilaration should be those in which drinking shows the least tendency to increase and this is precisely the result of MT.

 Embroidery has been accepted as a trimming for skirts by those women who can spend freely In that direction, and some of the skirts thus adorned are wondrously rich. The artist put one here, finding 1t in almond green, satin finished cloth, embroidered in several shades of green. At the sides this en- broidery was almost to the hips, but in front it was lower, and the back of the skirt had not more than six-inch strip of it. For bodice to this skirt there were jacket fronts, double revers and sleeves of the goods, green velvet buttons adorning the first named.
 Large looped bows of green velvet but bon topped the tight sleeves, and the
 belt was to match. Beneath this was a front of embroidered white chiffon with very fluffy collar of the same materi- al.

THE accounts given on our first and
second pages of the murder by poi
soning of the two daughters of ex-
Congressman Pennington shows it to
be one Of the most fendish crimes
known in the history of our State,
and so it is regarded by the Chief
Executive in the highest reward ever
offered for the arrest of a criminal
1900. The candy was prepared to
kill, and the o. S. Mail used with
murderous intent to send it three
thousand miles. The fact that Mr..
Pennington has the sympathy of the
entire State does not restore his lost
daughters, but friends are q comfort in
all misfortunes, and it evinces that
there will be a united effort to detect
the criminals and bring them to JUS
tice. There is no question, however
that had the life of J. Preston Dun
ming been directed anywhere in the
line of the Divine commands or aftel
the teachings of the Fathers, this fou
crime would never have occurred.

Of course. They seem to think there
is some natural and inalienable right
on the one side and some inevitable
compulsion on the other that if Porto
Rico wants to come in she can, and we
cannot hold her as a Territory OF

ever been admitted as a matter oi
