New Use for Electricity.

DIR. W. J. icrdman of the Michigan
University has discovered n new use
for electricity. II Is fattening pigs.
There is no joke about the experiment.
He has used two cages of guinea pigs
for the experiment. The pigs In each
cage were the same age Around one
cage he strung electric wires which
were charged daily. The pigs In this
cage gained 10 per cent. more In weigh,
In II given time than the pigs In the
cage where there was no electricity.

AFRICAN RAILRoADa

The history Of the opening of the
tGreat American Desert" to settlement
is being repeated in the Dark CONT
nent."
Railroads are now running northWard
from Cape Colony 1.4O0 miles, and
southwark from Cairo about 1 100 miles,
covering about $500 miles of the inter
vening distance and leaving about 5000
miles to be constructed before the great
Cape OF Cairo road is completed. Lines
have already been constructed west
ward from the Indian coast, from Ma
tai and from two places in Portuguese
territory. Two more such lateral roads
are in the course of construction, one
from point in German East Africa
just north of Zanzibar and another
from Mombasa. in British territory, the
latter being completed for more than
half the distance. Both these lines will
connect with the main line in the vicin-
aty Of Lake Victoria Nyanza. The pro-
5eoted roads from the east coast will
extend inland from Zanzibar from a
point at the southern entrance to the
Red sea, and from Suakim on that sea
to Berber. the present end of the road
from Cairo. From the Atlantic coast,
lines already extend a short distance
from the head of navigation on the
Niger. and there is a grand scheme of
eventually connecting the Niger and
the Nile through the French Soudan-
Two other lines are running q consider
able distance eastward from the Upper
Congo and from a point in Portuguese
Angola, and two more are projected
from two Portuguese ports in the same
territory. 1t is intended eventually to
connect these Portuguese roads with the
Portuguese roads on the Indian coast,
thus completing a Portuguese transcon-
tinentaI system The Germans also
have projected a road from the coast
to the capital of German Southwest
Africa which will probably be extended
to connect with the Rhodes line In
Mediterranean Africa there are about
$3.50 miles of railroads, and in Southern
Africa about 1900.

THE SOLDIERS FARE WELL.
Decidedly Cheerful Letter From a
Kansan In the Philippines.

Leavenworth, Oct. 6.-J. r. Huston,
a Kansas boy with the Eighteenth
United States infantry, now on duty
in IlOilO, p. l., sent an interesting letter
home to his parents under date OF Aug.
q, telling of recent engagements IN the
Philippines and of a good time the
American soldiers were having. The
letter says in part:
I'VE have had several little scares
lately On the 18th Companies A and H
had a scrap that lasted an hour. 1t got
pretty warm, so we fell back. on the
18th we took two 3-inch guns down to
the river and drove the enemy away
from the river into a town called San
Jose, and today the gunbOatS shelled
them out of town. 1t was quite a sight.
I climbed a big tower and from there
I could see the smoke of the guns ana
trees falling, and natives fleeing out of
town. The town was on fire. 1 don't
know how much damage was done.
Smelling lasted about two hours
I'VE are building a bridge across the
river here so as to move when the
rainy season is over, and 1t requires two
companies to protect the builders They
would keep US from building it if they
could. The other evening they tried
to burn it, but they only succeeded in
burning the wind in getting away l
blew the rust out of my gun. Don't
know that I hit any of them, but if my
bullets came as close to them as some
of theirs did to me they must have at
least felt little uneasy. How those
Mauser balls do sing, and about the
only safe place is fiat on the ground. A
tree is not much protection, for they go
through them if not too large
In that little shooting match there
were twenty-one of US and about 100
of them. One thing in our favor is that
those fellows shoot high, and for one
don't propose to get any higher when
they are shooting my way than have
to. Although 1 head my letter IlOilo,
I am not there. There are three towns
on this island, ToiIo Molo and Jaro.
Molo is two miles south of Iloilo and
Jaro twelve miles west. There are two
battalions of the Eighteenth here, the
other battalion at Iloilo. One company
of the Sixth United States infantry is
at JarO with US, but I hear they are
going to NegrOs. tWenty-three miles
from here, where there is trouble.

The Seattle Times undertakes to Sc

The Seattle Times undertakes to set
its readers straight on the trust Ques-
ton in the following:
There is a great difference between
q monopoly" and a trust" A mon
opoly may be restricted to the rights Of
an individual to an article of his own
3nvention-Such as the patent laws give
him; or it may be the right to an au-
thorship under a copyright law. In
each Of these cases the product of one
book or one invention is restricted to
the benefit of the author. A trust
combines under the control of one com
pany all the elements of a certain ma
ture- To illustrate: A man having a
patent on a certain car coupler would
have a monopoly of that coupling.
But a car coupling trust" would be
corporation which had bought up all
the car coupling patents and makers
thus controlling the whole output of
that article.
Now that a trust is clearly defined
will it be any easier to get rid of it2

the first of the cases referred to in
the petition, but the others were not
tried until after the first judicial dis
trict was divided and Judge Johnson
had been appointed on the bench, and
he sat on the final cases. 1t is Judge
Johnson whom the petition accuses of
ignorance of law, and of depending
upon the judgment Of Judge Keeler. the
attorney for the plaintiff, in deciding
points of law. The petition does not
refer to either judge by name

EIGHTEEN HORSES BURNED.
Disastrous Livery Barn Fire Up at
Washiuotou.

washington, Oct. 81. W. Lees
large frame two story and basement
livery barn was destroyed by fire Wed
nesday night about II o'clock. The fire
was communicated to a frame house
nearby. Both were completely de-
stroyed, there being no means of
quenching the fire.
Eighteen horses, a number of bug
eies and considerable harness, hay and
feed were burned in the livery stable,
the fire being discovered too late to
save anything. Mr. Lees loss on stock
and buildings is about So, 900 with very
little insurance and will be a severe
blow to him, all his means being in
vested in his business. His son, who
was asleep in the stable, barely es-
capped in time and was severely burned
on the hands in attempting to rescue
the horses. The house belonged to Mrs.
Damon and was worth about $500.
