A New Way Of Boiling Water.

1t is possible to make a pail of water
boil without putting 1t on the fire or
applying external heat to 1t in any
way. In fact, you can make a pail
Of water boil by simply stirring 1t with
a big wooden spoon. All you have to
do is to place your water in a pail
it may be ice water II necessary-and
stir 1t with wooden spoon. II you
keep at 1t long enough it will certain
ly boil. Five hours Of rapid and con-
slant stirring are sufficient to perform
the feat successfully. The water will
after time warm. and then 1t will
grow hot-so hot. in fact. that you can
not hold your hand in 1t. and finally 1t
will boil. The poin. which the in
ventor Of this trick wishes to illustrate
is what is known rs the mechanical
equivalent OF heat. It requires so
many foot pounds of work to develop q
given quantisy OF heat. BY turning the
spoon In the water at regular speed
1t Is possible to find out Just how much
work is required to raise the temper
ature of water to one degree. Heat
is developed In almost any substance
which is subjected to continuous or
violent action,

1t may seem. the club contains an elec-
trical apparatus which furnishes 4

A storage battery within the club. a

TOWN Of COMSTOCK.

June 26, '99.
In regard to the poisoning affair in
town of Comstock we claim that five
cases of poisoning horses have taken
place in about four years. One fall
Ernst Otto lost a mare and colt. It
is proved that horse and colt were
poisoned. I bought the same horse
from Charley Wittensten for 1925.
Three years ago this spring my COW
boy found half a sack of bran on the
ground in two piles mixed with paris
green. Another case, Schomburg
lost his best horse, but he left the
town quick. This year, June 4, Paul
Kisch lost one mare and colt, and on
the fifth, this month, Hugo Otto lost
a colt. ERNST OrTo.

SENECA ROOT.

This article is used in this country
and Europe very extensively. There
is but a small, quantity OF Southern
root produced. The large crop is in
the Northwest. 1t is dug principally
in northern Minnesota and the
northern part OF North Dakota, also
in Manitoba. In Manitoba the
principal section is commencing, say,
about at Emerson, and running in a
northwesterly direction to Edmon-
ton. The way to handle it after dig
ging is to wash it clean, remove the
tops, and thoroughly dry it. The
Indians and half-breeds dig a great
deal as well as the white people. At
the present time there are few
large lots OF old root held by specu-
lators at high prices: some of it two
and three years old. These specula-
tors do not want to sell except at
high prices because including the in
terest, storage and shrinkage, it
costs them high. Other dealers have
none with which to supply their
trade, except the new root they are
receiving. 1t is worth, laid down in
Minneapolis, FIX cents for the poor
root up to 22H cents for the best
root. This nets nearly 20 cents at
the farthest points OF digging, and
more than this at the nearer points
where the freight is less. If there
should be any change in price either
way, prices will go higher, because
it rarely ever sells for any length OF
time at less than the present prices.
As there is a cash market for this
root at all times and an unlimited
demand, whatever money it sells for
brings that much more money into
the country that otherwise would
not be received.

In his testimony before the indus.
trial commission at Washington.
Havemeyer, the president of the
sugar trust, asserted that protec.
tive tariff is ''the mother OF trusts. y
The existence, however, OF the gigan-
tic monopoly which he represents, is
argument to the contrary. The
protection on sugar amounts to
only an eighth of cent a pound,
or 3A per cent. advalorem, and even
under this low duty, the sugar trust
has fourished. The assertion that
a protective tariff fosters trusts can
not be demonstrated. Why's, free
trade England is one Of the most
trust-ridden countries on earth.
Trusts flourish regardless Of the tar
iff when other conditions are favor
able. What 'Havemeyer fears most
is probably the attempt in a Num-
Der OF states to encourage the pro-
duction OF beet sugar by the giving
of bonuses. With a number Of beet
sugar factories in operation in differ
ent states, it would be difficult for
the trust to control the sugar mar
ket. That's why lie hates the pro-

NEW REPUBLIC RISES
FROM DISPUTED BoLIvIA-BRA-
I'll TERRITORY.
President Arises Forms = Government
and Causes CONFERENCE.-The Culture
of Rubber One of the Country's Chief
Industries

A republic of 100000 square miles
Zone and a half times the size of Great
Britain and IrelanO has suddenly
risen in the heart of South America,
writes q Buenos Ayres correspondent
of the London Daily Mail. This is the
republic of Acre, SO called from the
river of the same name "a tributary Of
the Amazon which flows through it.
The circumstances which gave rise to
this new state are somewhat novel.
The territory of which the republic of
Acre is composed has long been dis
puted by Bolivia and Brazil without
being effectively occupied by either. 1t
is thinly peopled region, inhabited
by less than $4,000 souls, who make a
living principally by the collection of
rubber. which grows wild in the for
est in great abundance. An adventurer
named Rodriguez Aries took it into his
head to proclaim himself president of
this no mans land. The new govern
ment was formally created, ministers
OF state appointed, and the capital fixed
at Antimairi, a small hamlet which is
a depot for the shipment of rubber.
The new state of Acre contains no
large cities; indeed, it contains no town
larger than small village. The new
president Is man who has seen much
OF the world. He is a Spaniard, and
was formerly banker in his own
country, then theatrical impresario in
the United States, clerk of works IA
Paris, and merchant in Brazil, settling
down later as a broker in Buenos
Ayres, where he made the acquain-
tance OF the gentlemen who to-day are
his ministers. The new government
is no mere fiction. for 1t has caused
no small CONSERVATION among the
neighboring states, Bolivia in partic-
ular being much concerned, and about
to send an armed force to cause her
flag to be respected in the new repub-
lie. The Argentine papers are full of
accounts of Acre, some OF them giving
maps and illustrations. The new pres-
ident of Acre does not reckon upon
raising revenue by the sale of titles.
nor yet by the establishment of pub
lie gaming tables, methods which were
adopted under like circumstances by
Baron Harden Hickey, erstwhile mon
arch or the barren isle of Trinidad. but
expects to fill the public exchecuuer
by levying export duties on rubber.
which at present is the sole source of
wealth of the country. Whether the
new republic of Acre will have a more
lasting existence than the government
OF trinidad remains to be seen.
