A QUEER PICTORIAL CONTRAST.

Lexington and Bunker Hill will
hang in the historic gallery of the
United States in curious pictorial con-
trast to the event which took place
last Sunday at Manila. We have
bartered for, bought and assumed
possession of islands, whose former
rulers we denounced, quite justly, as
cruel tyrants. without giving the
slightest recognition in the transac-
ton of any rights of the native in
habitants, without even any consulta-
ton with those leaders of the revolt
against Spain whom we had allied
ourselves with in bringing to an end
Spanish control. We were, to a very
considerable degree, indebted to
Aguinaldo and his troops for the quick
ripening of that conquest, which is
our sole basis OF rights to the Philip
pine islands. After concluding the
treaty of Paris our chief executive
then issued proclamation of sover-
eighty over the conquered territory,
which lacked the ratification of the
senate. Is it to be wondered at that,
having been so grossly deceived as to
the honorable intentions of the United
States, these men who were approach
ing what they had thought was the
termination of a long struggle for
liberty like our own, and which had
our approval, were driven to despera-
ton when they found their efforts had
but served to bring about a change of
masters. OF Aguinaldo, it will be re-
membered, Maj. Bell reported to his
superiors, and apparently with judi
cial fairness, that he was poor, I'M
doubtedly honest. a natural leader,
held in respect by his people, but
with little education. Whether this
report Is more TO be relied on than
that which asserts that he was bought
by the Spaniards for 100000, is not
for VS. to determine. Until it is AIS
proved we propose to rely on the de-
hberate statement Of a responsible
American officer. But IL il is true.

plosion in each of the several cases has
been the Same-the giving way of the
cracked sheet, such crack being con-
cealed from view by Tapped joint,
says Modern Machinery quoting from
the National Engineer. So many boil
er explosions have recently occurred
by reason of cracked plate that we
should think the boiler insurance COM
panies would fight shy of a risk that
includes joints of this kind, when it
has so frequently been proved that the
kink given a plate by the rolls comes
in such position as to be just outside
the line of rivets and that a crack is
often formed when the plates are
sledge-hammered INTO position so that
they may be riveted together There
is no way of ascertaining if a crack
exists in the plate, where it is COW
cred by the lap of another plate or the
end of the same plate. Regarding the
existence of such cracks, a member of
a boiler inspection and insurance COM
pany, when in conversation some time
ago, expressed his belief that nine
tentns OF the explosions of lap-seam
horizontal tubular boilers were due to
this cause.
The horizontal tubular boiler is not
alone in being subject to this defect.
From the shape of plate as it leaves
the rolls where it has been bent into
an approximately circular form.
very considerable hammering is neces-
sary to bring the parts together ready
for rivsting. The hammering being
done while the plate is cold, incipent
fractures are likely, and often do oc-
cur, so that the boiler is left with an
element of weakness that grows more
extensive with time, being greatly in
creased by the usual expansion and
contraction Que to the heating and
cooling of the boiler.

The Sultan of Solo.

BY no means the least important of
our new possessions is the Sulu archi-
pelago, group lying south of the Phil
ippines, and comprising about $50 ISL
ands. Like the Philippines, many of
the islands are barren and uninhab-
tied, but the larger are fertile and I'M
der the careful tillage of most indus
trious people, who have the honor of
being the first Mohammedan subjects
OF the United States. Our illustration
taken from the current issue of Har-
per's Weekly, represents the present
sultan of Sulu, who owned allegiance
to Spain up to the present time, and
received from Spain the annual sum of
$2,400, his salary as ruler of the posses
sions which by hereditary right were
his own. The ruler of Sulu is devot-
ed Mussulman, and acknowledging the
supreme authority of the Turkish sui
tan and the customs of our Moham-
medan fellow-citizen differ but little
from those of the same faith in other
parts of the world. In view of the fact
that the young sultan is the first Amer
lean who is a firm follower of the
prophet, it is of interest to hear per-
sonal description of him from Mr..
Foreman, an English traveller. Mr..
Foreman says: His excellency was

ers, fastened partly up the sides with

THE ADVERTISING MAN

You may talk about your editors who
sit in easy chairs,
And try to run the whole concern and
put on lots of airs,
And seek 70 make the people think it's
WIT they have to say
That keeps the business on the move
and makes the paper pay.
But don't you ever think it, for the
whole truth really is:
The editors not in it, with that huge
conceit of his;
For there's only one essential in the
whole newspaper plan
Success depends alone upon the ad-
vertising man.
The men who edit manuscripts and
write the funny stuff,
Within the little fields they fill may
answer well enough;
The sporting and dramatic men, and
small fry such as those
Who gobble all the passes and who
visit all the shows;
And likewise, too, the poets, who in
sist they must rehearSe
The simple things they have to say ia
blind and hating verse;
They, one and all, have understood
since papers first began
That ttey were mere assistants to the
advertising man.
IT'S true, the advertising man has
naught to do but talk,
Yet he's the one who, after all, per
mits the ghost to walk,
For while the editors their pens in
trashy stuff engage,
He tolls on something worth the while
the advertising page;
And if you'll but investigate suf-
ficiently, you'll find
He works more men and hours than
the others all combined.
To him belongs the victor's crown
this brave catch-as-ca tch-can,
Keen, money-getting, business-boom-
ing advertising man.

BOILER EXPLOSIONS.
Exclamation of the Manner in Which
They Usually Occur.

At Muncie, Ind, horizontal tubular
boiler, forming one of a battery of
eight similar boilers belonging to the
Indiana Iron company, exploded. The
exploded boiler was No. l in the bat
terry, counting from left to right. 1t
was of the horizontal tubular type, Sc
inches diameter by 16 feet length,
made Of three courses of 5-1e inch
steel double riveted longitudinal seams
with 1916 inch holes, pitch of rivets
"a inches; built in 1894. There was
but one plate to the course. The long
ltudinal seams were all above the fire
line.
The rupture took place just outside
of the rivet holes along the horizontal
seam of the front plate, following
around the circular seam, tearing the
plate from the balance of the boiler.
except short space where it still hung
to the head. The defective part was
similar to that of several boilers that
have exploded during the last few
years NOTABLY at Rochester and De-
troit), that is, a cracked plate, the
crack being located just outside the
rivet holes, where it was concealed
from view by the lap of the other end
OF the sheet. The rupture tore
through the sheet without affecting
many of the rivet holes. The front
sheet and head of the boiler were
thrown about fifty feet, while the bal
ance of the boiler landed on the prairie
800 feet from its original position.
This is one of several boiler explo-
sions that have recently occurred with
out fatalities, and the cause of the ex-

THE DISAPPEARING WOODCOCK

Knowing well the great interest
your paper has shown in matters per-
tanning to the preservation, increase
or decrease of our game birds, l de-
sire to direct the attention of your
self and readers to the greatly di-
minished number of woodcock found
this season in the Niagara peninsula
of Ontario, before and during their
fall flight.
In covers which for years have
yielded fair bags not more than a bird
or two were found. have wondered
if this has been the experience of
sportsmen in the adjoining portions
of the United States, especially in
those portions directly south of us,
and in line of flight. If this has been
the case it would be interesting then
to find out if this has been the expert
ence in Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia and the portions of the United
States adjoining.
If this scarcity has been local we
may believe that some temporary
cause has diminished the number;
but if common from the seaboard to
the western limit of the great lakes,
we may fear that the belief of many
cock shooters that this is "a bird of
the past is but too we'll founded.
Thirty-fve years ago men l have
shot with here used to kill between
200 and 300 cocks each season; last
year my bag in this neighborhood was
eight, and l have been told that l was
the only person fortunate enough to
secure one. I know full well that in
the older settlements the breeding
grounds are being continually cut
down, but surely others to compen-
safe in some degree are brought in by
the opening up of new farming terri
tory.

ing. In Ontario the cocks are well pr6-
tected, as the open season does not
commence till September is.
and most of them have left by No
vember l.; but in the states they are
or have been shot from July to NAV
10 months out of the -. Ontario
early stopped spring shooting, and
during the past 80 years has time and
again shortened the season. and /

cock shooting for some years il our
friends across the border would agree
to do the same.-Forest and Stream.

CORRECTING BAD IDEAS.

Like the English press, the Norwe-
gian papers contain lot OF slush and
distorted news about America. Why
1t should be so is matter for some
speculation, Out an American is likely
to become disguised with what goes
for news Of America in the Norwegian
press. Aftenbladet of Christiana Is
not satisfied with its former service
and will supplement it with a staff OF
correspondents. For Chicago it has
secured DIR. A. Doe, and he is sending
some very valuable matter. He also
urges more generous attitude on the
part of Norwegians toward the breth-
rem In America.

AGUlNALDO THE MAN.

In his features, face. and skull
Aguinaldo looks more like European
than Malay. He is what would be
called a handsome man, and might he
compared with many young men in
the province of Andalusia, Spain. If
there be truth in phrenology ne is a
man above the common. The zone of
the skull, which indicates mentality.
is well developed for a European
abnormally large for a Malay. The
moral zone is of medium DEVELOPMENT
and the animal or cerebellar zone is
comparatively small, with the excep-
ton OF the reach over the ears, indi-
eating destructiveness and cruelty.
The phrenologist would be borne out
by the consensus of those who know
him. Friends and enemies agree that
he is intelligent, ambitious, far-sight-
ed, brave, self-controlled, honest, NOR
al, vindictive, and at times cruel. He
possesses the quality which friends
call wisdom and enemies call craft
According to those who like him he is
courteous, polished, thoughtful, and
dignfed; according to those who dis
like him he is insincere, pretentious,

THE END OF THE WORLD.
A scientist Figures That 1t IL Three
billion Yenra on.

Scientists do queer things sometimes.
o ne of them has attempted to calculate
in cold mathematics how soon we may
expect the judgment day, and he prepar-
ed n paper on the subject which he read
before the American Association For the
Advancement of Science. Starting with
the total amount of energy stored in the
sun and the fact that the orb of day is
continuously distributing energy equiya-
lent to the work of seven men for each
area of the earth's surface of the size of
the human body, our statistician calcu-
lates that it will require $4,000, 600
years of outpouring before a sensible
diminution of the quantity of energy Civ
en- out can be detected. Up to this dis
tant period mountains will stand, rivers
will run, plants will grow and animal life
will exist much as it does today.
If you realize that solar energy as soon
as used reasserts itself in some other
form, either as sound, electricity or sim
pie motion, it is easy to see that this esti-
mate is too small rather than too great.
AT any rate the world is not liable to
stop going yet for few years, according
to his reasoning.
Some idea of the vastness Of the force
that is meted out to us from the physical
source of earthly life may be gained, he
says, by considering that if the Energy
that the sun gives to earth in a single day
could be bottled up and directed against
Niagara falls it would cause the great
body of water to dash back again up hill
for 4,000 years. If turned into a single
blast of heat. it would cause every living
creature instantaneously to blight and
wither: the ice around the poles would be
melted in one and three-quarter minutes
and in another II seconds all the oceans
would be turned into steam.
If transmitted into electricity, spark
would fash from the earth as far as the
! planet Jupiter. If collected into a single
4 sound, the vibration thereof would moi
only break every ear drum in the world
/ but would uproot the giant trees of the
forest aud even level mountains. II
changed into momentary flash of light
| its burst would be 50 binding as to pene
/ trate the walls of the deepest dungeons
| and destroy the sight of every living
4 creature. In brilliancy this fash would
exceed the brightness of the sun itself
! over 100000 times.
For one man to expend an amount Of
energy equivalent to that which the earth
receives from the sun in the tenth part OF
second he would have to work HARD
continuously for sT,00o.00o years.
