Messages by Vibration.

Curiously enough, the fact appears,
according to recent traveller among
the Indians of Catuquinarn, between
the rivers Embrya and Embyrasu, that
those people have long employed wire
less telephony, but rather after the or
der Of itten science.
1t is made by digging hole in the
ground inside a house and laying the
bottom with coarse sand, well piled.
On this is laid wooden drum or hol-
low cylinder Of wood, half filed with
fine sand and layers of broken wood,
bone ana powdered mica-the upper
part of the cylinder, which is empty,
rising above the floor of the hut and
closed first by leather, then by wood,
and lastly by india rubber. Outside,
the cylinder is packed round with frag.
ments Of wood, leather and resins, and
covered with hard rubber at the level
of the soil go
To use this peculiar apparatus the
drum is struck by wooden hammer,
and the vibration is evidently transmit
ted through the soil. The answer is
heard in the drum, which acts as a
resonator, and messages are thus sent
over ! 800 yards from house to house.

After the pirates the Florida wreckers

a large steamer was stranded on the
reef not far from Cape Florida. No SOON

rapidly along the shore. The people for
30 miles around gathered on the beach
opposite the stranded steamer. Among
them were number Of Indians from
the Everglades, who chanced to be down
there and knew what wreck" meant
to the wreckers.
The steamer. loaded with an assorted
cargo, began to break up, and barrels,
cases and boxes drifted gradually ashore.
There were casks Of wine, boxes Of soap,
cases Of bottles Of wine and iron and a
hundred other articles. The Indians
seized upon the wine and soon were in

to secure the more valuable prizes.

Gross Earnings Law.

A bill raising the gross earnings
tax on railways from three per cent
to four per cent was passed by the
Minnesota house, but defeated in the
senate by a vote OF 30 to 81. Wehave
not investigated the subject thor
oughly enough to say whether the
higher rate ought to be imposed or
not, and we do not purpose now to
discuss that feature OF the case fur
ther than to suggest that great cor
porations receiving valuable fran
chises from the state ought to bear
without complaint as heavy a tax
burden as other propertywhich has re-
ceivedno benefit or privileges from the
public. But the point raised against
the bill, that the state is bound by
an old territorial agreement with the
roads, though it may influence law
yers, will have no weight with the
laymen of the land. Ifit is true that
a territory may forever bind the
people Of a future state, then it log
ically follows that revolution is the
only means by which evils so arising
can be corrected, and is a direct bid
for Johnny to get his gun. It may
be good law, but that it is a very
dangerous doctrine no thoughtful
person can deny. The people who
are on earth now, with all due rever-
ence to the departed, purpose to run
this country while they stay, and
will in their own good time sort out
the vested rights from the vested
wrongs. Whatever blocks their
progress that can't be repealed, will
some day be repelled. .-Bede's Budg

The Story of a Letter.

Of an old bachelor who bought pair of
socks and found attached to one of them
a slip Of paper with these words: 81 am
young lady Of 20 and would like to
correspond with bachelor with view
to matrimony." Name and address
were given.
The bachelor wrote, and in a few
days got this letter: Mamma was mar
ried 20 years ago. The merchant you
bought those socks from evidently did
not advertise or he would have sold
them long ago. Mamma handed me your
letter and said possibly I might suit
you. Lam 18 years old.

COW can not give wholesome milk.
OF more importance to us, because
taken in larger quantities and oftener
impure, is the question Of the drink
ing water.
Between 80 and 80 per cent Of milk
is water. How important, then, that
our milch cows have access to pure
water and only pure water. It is
disgusting to witness cattle Of this
city being led to drink from stagnant
pools, fed from cess-pools }, barn
yards and drain pipes. We will de-
vote but limited space to hygienic
surroundings though not Of small inn
portance. A stable should be roomy,
airy and light. How many Of them
are? Each COW should be provided
with not less than $50 cubic feet of
air space.
Few contagious diseases thrive we'll
in fresh air and an abundance of sun
light.
Milk is very susceptible to dis
agreeable odors, gathering the same
while being drawn from cows kept in
foul-smelling stables and retaining
these odors for an almost indefinite
period. All cities Of importance have
ordinances regulating the care of
dairy cows and the sale of milk from
these animals.
Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin have
passed during the present session of
their Legislatures, more stringent
laws than they previously had, gov
erning their milk supply.
New York has the best veterinary
laws of any state in the United States.
New York City compels all cattle fur
nishing milk for sale within the state
to be subjected to the tuberculin test.
OF course, all milk from tubercu-
lous COWS is excluded from the mar
ket. Dozens Of other cities are doing
likewise. @ =
Better hygienic surroundings and
the destruction of all animals now
affected seems to the writer the only
solution of this vital problem.
Should this article provoke discus
sion and give the least food for
thought and reflection it will have
fulfilled its mission.

VILLAGE HALL.
North MankatO Residents Agitating the
Building of One.

The special election held in North
Mankato Saturday to vote on the pro-
position to separate the village from the
township resulted in a unanimous vote
in favor of separation. AS the result
was foregone conclusion, only forty
seven votes were cast.
There is talk of putting up village
hall in the spring, but whether it will
be done by voluntary contribution or
by taxation depends upon the wish of
the majority. Owing to the school in
debtedness it is held by some that the
hall should be erected by voluntary
contribution. There are plenty of
mechanics in North Mankato to donate
their labor, dealers in building material
to donate material, and others could
donate cash according to their means.
If all will take hold it is argued that
there would be no trouble in erecting a
creditable hall A hall about 30 by 60
feet, built of brick, with lookup, and
handsome front, is talked Of.
The St. Peter Herald has been Sc
lected as the official paper of North
Mankato.
The council will probably not hold a
meeting until the regular February
meeting, when the ordinances will be
acted upon.

BEET SUGAR FACTORY.
Advocates of a Factory Should Do
Something.

Ed. Schumacher has, been correspond
ing with F. W. Fink, manager of the
Minnesota Sugar Co of st. Louis Park,
relative to the sugar beet industry in
this county. Mr.. Schumacher realizes
that this is the time of year for the
pledges of land to be secured, as the
farmers will soon be making up their
minds how they will crop their farms.
Mr. Fink writes that he hopes the farm
ers will put in large acreage to sugar
beets. The farmers who sold beets to
factory last fall were fairly we'll salts
fed with the returns, and will general
ly SOW an increased acreage this year.
Mr. Fink states that whenever a meet
ing of farmers can be ranged for, his
company would be glad to send rers
resentative to address the meeting.
At st. Cloud the business men have
taken hold of the matter and organized
a company with a capital of $500, QUO,
and Senator Kellar and his friends take
$780, 600 of the stock 1t is estimated
that factory costs about $500, 900, and
working capital of $150.O0O is requir-
ed
If anything is to be done TOWARD get
ting a factory located in Mankato or
even toward getting large acreage of
beets secured, it would seem that it
ought to be done now before seeding
time comes. There has not been so
much heard of late from those who were
so enthusiastic for sugar factory a
year or two ago
