AN ARCTIC CABLE ENTERPRISE.
Projects for a Line From Denma rk
to Iceland.

PfO1ectH Tor a Line FROM Denm0rk
to Iceland.
A scheme for connecting the mainland of
Europe by cable with Greenland and Ice
land is thus described in report from
vice Consul Bloom. Of Copenhagen, to the
State Department:
The meteoroloais,s in Europe have for many
years desired A telegraphic connection with Ice
land, Farce Islands. and Greenland Daily tele-
graphic reports from Iceland would be of the
utmost importance TO the weather service,
well to the large fishing interests. in the North
Atlantic. l understand that the British fishing
interests have recently petitiofed the govern
ment to grant 4 yearly subvention to the pro-
posed cable The Danish government looks IA
vorably upon the plan. but is of the opinion that
it should be realized by private individuals The
Great Northern Telegraph Company, limited. of
Copenhagen. is willing TO lay and work the

fee. in Copenhagen, has issued circulars to kim

ing them to subscribe to daily weather bulletins

also being seriously considered by other bodies,
especially in Great Britain, and the prospects for
a realization of the enterprise promising

elected, the orator expects nothing Of the
kind; but If the statement is made that
prices will fall in consequence of certain
legislation 1t is either true or stated as
true by the speaker. That is the difference
between the public lying of America and
of Spain. Had disaster overtaken our feet
at the battle of Manila there would have
been no Overwhelming joy anywhere In
this country. Nobody would have tried to
cover up the facts. They would have been
told in all their fearful details. Hence,
when we heard that Dewey had not lost
man in that momentous battle. we knew
that there was no possibility that the nap
by tidings would thereafter be contradictei.
That is part of our English inheritance.
As for the exaggeration business, that
doubtless comes partly from the fact that
our tradition is that every man shall think
for himself. If We had a large ignorant
lever class, to which the governing class
was obliged to dole nut information, 1t
would be of the utmost Importance that
that upper class should tell the truth. So
far as we have an approach to that con-
dition the most dangerous element in the
situation is the attempt to deceive the peo-
pie by those who have temporarily the
power to do so. That is what gives the
struggle between capital and labor, at
times, the aspect of an incipient French
revolution. But those two great Ameri-
cans. p. T. Barnum and Abraham Lincoln
knew their people. and they told the truth
in characteristic American fashion. Ore
said that the American people like to be
humbugged: and the other added that word
of warning: You can fool all Of the people
some of the time. and some of the people
all Of the time; but you cannot fool all Of
the people all the time certain amount
of humbug, exaggeration, -anG humor the
American people enjoy, and they will all
and abet in the joke themselves by pre-
tending to believe the joker; but when il
comes to being fooled on important quas-
tions they draw the line with true Anglo
Saxon promptneSs.

Prevention " Cure

DIR. George F. Keene has recently COL
lected some rather startling statistics as
to consumption. He says that nearly one
seventh Of the people OF the United States
die of this disease. The other important
point that he makes is that consumption
is contagious; that is, the patient may have
inherited weak lungs, but the actual trans
planting of bacilli into the system must
take place before there can be develop
ment Of the disease.
This matter is worth the serious atten-
tion Of all intelligent people. II it is pos
sible to stamp out this disease, or even to
reduce its perils, the experiment would be
worth trying. even at great cost. The con-
sumptive should be isolated from his
friends and family % far as any possible

puzzled by the mystery this morning. The
little girl is still missing. All clews have

How to End IL.

From the Baltimore SUM-
As practical remedy for state of things
which all good men must agree in deporing and
condemning-the prevalence of lynch law in var
ious parts Of the country-there is no other sug
gestion to be made except that which has been
frequently urged in these columns. 1t is the
old suggestion Of the wise Frenchman. who. when
asked to favor the abolition Of capital punish
ment, readily assented. provided that the muir
derers should first set the example. Let the out
RACES which provoke the application of lynch
law and the lynchings will cease also.

We have an incubator that will hold
$50 eggs. 1t is heated by water. The
tank that holds the water will hold
forty.fve gallons. We heat the water,
put it into the tank and let it get
warm enough to run the thermometer
up to ITO degrees. Then we put the
eggs in the trays. In six hours we
look at them. The temperature by
that time nearly always has run down
to 1913, where we desire to keep it as
nearly as possible. After the eggs
have been in ten days we test them,
taking out all that are not fertile, as
such eggs have n tendency to lower
the heat. We think the chickens that
are Matched in an incubator are just rs
healthy as any if they are kept out o,
the cold and rain. We put the little
chicks with hens and they are less
care. We have the Plymouth Rocks,
and think they are as good a breed as
the farmer can get. They are large
and easily fattened and with proper
care in winter are good layers.
We believe that there is as much
profit in ducks as from any other line
Of poultry breeding, providing Il has
the right breed. The Pekin is the
best general purpose duck. 1t is the
best table fowl of the duck family
having large, fall, deep breast. The
nice yellow skin of the Pekin make;
it easy to dress; its pure white plum
age makes it the most beautiful Of
birds, The standard weight of the
adult duck is eight pounds, but it can
very easily be made to weigh more.
We have had them weigh eleven
pounds. The duck can be raised sue.
cessfully without water to swim in,
but it must have plenty of drinking
water. We would not advise more
than four ducks to one drake. Ducks
commence laying in February, and
with good care will not miss many
mornings in laying until July. Ducks
are not susceptible to disease and lice,
and after they are three OF four weeks
old will not need half the attention
that is required to raise young chicks.
