A Separator Burns.

On Wednesday about 11:3O q. N.
Jap. Skaters separator caught FIRE
and was completely destroyed. II
seems the men were just setting the
machine in field belonging to John
Matthias, near the Oaks Lake school
house. when sparks from the engine
set IRE to some straw on the separs-
tor. The engineer tried to pull the
machine away from the stacks, but
he got excited snc III some manner
broke the coupling to the machine.
By this time the fire had got under
good Roadway and the men were IN
able to put it out. Two stacks oil
wheat were also burned. This is quite
a loss 70 Mr.. Shaffer, and also to Mr..
Mathias.-Dundee Advocate.

Russia is exporting whea freely
while an appeal is being made for
help for her famine sufferers. It
is rather cheeky to ask American
farmers to contribute food for
starving Russians while Russian
grain merchants are shipping
wheat out of Russian ports, which
shipments help to break down the
price of American wheat. Lot
Russia keep her own wheat at
home to feed her starving, and
then America will feel more like
helping.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Appearances indicate that India
will soon bs suffering her second
famine in three years. The
weather is still beyond the control
of British authority, and crops
have met with poor success this
year. IF a famine should follow

should break out in South Africa,
England might we'll feel that the

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1899.

President Mckinley and the
other Ohio Republicans in Wash
ington are simply amused at the
ridiculous bluffs the democrats are
putting up about their expecting
to carry Ohio Said one of them:
"Why there isn't fairly we'll in
formed democrat in Ohio who re-
ally believes that Mclean can
come within 10000 votes of carry
ing the state. All the bluffing is
for a purpose, however. If Nc
Lean can be made to believe that
he has chance to win he will
spend money literally, but so long
as he regards himself a leader Of
a forlorn hope, as he does at this
time, he will be niggardly in his
expenditures"

KITE FLYING SCIENCE.
Eddy Tells Of His
Experiments With Cam
eras in Mid-Air.

William A. Eddy of Bayonne, 1.-The King
of Kites has issued an interesting
pamphlet detailing the history of his ex-
periments from 1863. when, as a boy, he
tied a lantern to the tail of an ordinary
kite. to July %, 1898, when, under orders
from General A. w. Greedy, he sent TWEEN
ty-six of his scientific flyers to the War
Department to demonstrate in Porto REQ
the value of kites for p~hotographing the
Notifications of the enemy.
Mr.. Eddy's chief experiments have been
conducted at Blue Hill Observatory, and
his success was such that in 1884 Proles-
sor S. F. Langley, of the Smithsonian In
stitution, sent him a grant fromthe Hodg-
kins fund for the purpose OF pursuing MS
Investigations.
That kite flying as a science is FAR from
being an end of the century development
is shown by the fact hat Mr.. Eddy dis
covered the great disadvantage of the sag
of the kite cable in raising a self-record-
ing thermometer, and set about to rlgnt
it, only to learn later that he had been
Anticipated by the experiments OF wilson
and Melville in 1749.
AT first Mr.. Eddy worked with the ordi-
nary tail kites, but later devoted himself
to the tailless Malay kites-although
nMalay'' is a misnomer, as Mr.. Eddy con-
fesses in a note.
The first record of a mid-air photograph
by means of a kite is in 1886, when f.
Douglas Archibald, of England, is said to
have secured one, the camera pointing
| straight downward. The Bayonne inven-
tor has worked on Independent lines, and
in all has secured from various ATTITUDES
| about 400 kite photographs of many locali-
| ties. nearly all of which are perspective
| views.
AS to experiments in atmospheric cleo
| tricity, Mr.. Eddy secured his first spark
from copper wire festooned to the Kite
| string at Bayonne, October s, 1892. On
November 1, 1898, under a clear sky, he
| sent an electric collector about 200 feet
| above the surface of Liberty Island, with
in 100 feet of the statue. The first spark
was drawn when the collector was about
| 100 feet below the torch of the statue.
Mr.. Eddy has received the. whispers Of
the wind through a telephone attached to
a kite many hundred feet in air, demon
| strating a new way to study the audi
bility of fog signals, and he has sent
many of his flyers aloft through heavy
rains.
In 1897. he attached to a kite a camera
| obscura. and when it was 300 feet from
the ground persons could lie fiat on the
ground and by means of powerful glasses
see the reflection in the dark cavity of
the camera obscura of houses and the
| sails of moving ships.
From his kites shooting-star war sig
mails have been thrown, n an arrow
burning was shot LOCO feet through the
night from a cross bow attached to a kite
| and operated by a cable.
Colonel w. A. Glassford had charge of
the experiments in Porto Rico. His re-
port has not yet been made, but Mr.. Eddy
| states that he has heard indirectly that
| the experiments were successful, and that
the possibility of disclosing the position
| and Notifications of the enemy by kite
| camera was demonstrated

The Passaic pollution question is one OF
the most Important of the session. IL con-
cernts the health of the large cities OF
Ter municipalities. Much injury TO the
health of those communities has already
been caused by the impure water which IS
used for drinking and household purposes
owing to the pollution of the source OF
supply caused by the Passaic River. Some
him must be done to abate the nuisance
or else there may be an epidemic OF as
ease. Senator johnson, of Bergen, has
introduced a bill which he believes Will
solve the problem. Its provisions are
very elaborate. 1t relates to all the wa
ters of the State, calls for the appointment
of a sewage commission, consisting OF
three persons, by the Governor, at a sal
airy of 81, 500 each, with power 70 employ
a secretary. experts, engineers. etc, and
provides a penalty of 81 500 or a years i'm
prisonment. or both, for the offense OF
depositing sewage in any river or otner
stream. For this year S5,oW IS appIo-
priated for the expenses OF the commls-
sion. Sewage commissioners are estap-
lished. of five persons each. at a compen-
sation Of IS a day, and they shall nave
power to operate sewage systems buy lana
and issue bonds, and must be chosen Dv
the popular vote. The cost of this system
shall be distributed between the munlci-
palities benefited. 1t is doubtful, however.
if this bill will go through, because Il
would involve so muc expense. mayor
Hinchliffe, of Paterson, who was one OF
the Commissioners appointed TO inyestl-
gate the matter. refused to sign the report
recommending the proposed leglslalloh.
He says such a Law would bankrupt the
city of Paterson.
Appointments of Importance which the
Governor has yet to make are as follows:
"A member of the State Board OF IaXa-
ton to succeed Henry ]. West; a Road

four Riparian Commissioners in the places
of Miles Ross, Willard c. Fisk. William

two trustees for the State Reform Schoool

The ~declination of Miles Ross to con-
