Bridges Sold by the Pound.

City Bridge Engineer Munster Is get

pounds of bridge to be placed ut the
south end of the present structure on
South Wabasha street. The city does
not buy Its bridges in the same manner
that II would n new city hall or mar

Some years ago Lieutenant I.ans-

moa, visited Korea on one of the
American cruisers. He had a bicycle
with him and when Chemulpo was

An Old Hall Lamp.

What is probably the oldest lall
lamp up to date hangs In the hallway
of Joseph Collins of Conshohocken,
Pa. 1t Is simply a circular aquarium
in which Is submerged a ten candle

completely covered with sea shells,

AS incessant drops of water
With persistent tiny blows
Beat down the rugged mountains
And dissolve the deepest SHOWS;
AS when thread to thread is added
Larger still the fabric grows,
And the most persistent knitter
Wears the longest. warmest hose:
AS the dog, by dogged gnawing,
Tastes the marrow of the bone,
And repeated mallet tapping
Brings the statue from the stone;
AS the most untiring printer,
With incessant "click, click, click"
Marches largest verbal armies
BY divisions Ger his stick;
AS letter TO letter added
Makes complete the longest page.
And minutes oft recounted
Tell the sum of longest age;
AS oft gained bits of wisdom
Make the store of knowledge great
And man after man enlisted
Fills the armies of the state;
AS rivulet joining rivulet
Swells the river DER Its banks,
And continued penny savings
Aggregate the wealth of banks;
So the constant advertiser,
BY law Of common sense,
Builds his business enterprises
Into volumes most immense.

Water Meters,

The superintendent of waterworks
In Richmond. Va, has lnaugurated q
custom which overcomes many of the
objections when change is made from
fiat to meter rate. He sets the meter
one month before the change in rate
is to be made and demonstrates to the
consumer the amount Of waste, and
gives him an opportunity to stop 1t
before he begins to charge for the wa
ter by measurement Great saving in
water is frequently made, and the con.
sumer has timely notice, so that any
complaints Of overcharge are fore
stalled.

LIQUID AIR.
Some of the Many Uses 20 which It
May lie Put.

IL would seem that certain uses may
be found for liquid air In which consid-
erations Of cost are not so important as
Is the ability to obtain the effects In
view. In warfare, for example, tn,
possession of highly concentrated Gu
ergy stores under control is very i'm.
portant Liquid air can be rapidly con-
vcrtcd into compressed air at six tUIis
per square .uch. This would probably
be useful In the projection of high ex.
plosivcs.
Compressed air Is now used for pro-
pclling mobile torpcdoes, or fish torpe.
does, as they are called. Dlrigible tor.
pedoes either depend for power upon
compressed air or the electric energy
of storage battery. Compressed air
requires high pressure and very strong
and heavy containing vessels.
Liquid air can De stored without
pressure or at low pressures aud can
be evnporated at any desired pressure,
while Its bulk represents that of air
under 500 atmospheres. 4 storage
battery would properly be from five to
ten times rs heavy as liquefied air In @

But no storage battery could be dis

A copy of n curious newspaper has
been found In the French national
archives, says Literature. 1t is dated
jan. H. 1905, and is called LAthenee
des DANES. The articles are evidently
written by women, and the object OF
the paper seems to have been an at
tempt to place women on an equal foot
ing with men. The feminine pioneers
of 1905 were evidently nearly hun
dred years ahead Of their times. La

"Properly applied" observed the old
advertising man. advertising Is
force which has no peer in strength
over the public mind. 1t is the greatest
scientific triumph Of the century. 1t
suggests what we shall eat, wherewith
we shall be clothed, and even what we
shall pay for it. 1t creates wish for
things which the public never knew or
imagined 1t wanted. 1t offers to supply
demand before the demand Is made,
while previous to the days Of modern
advertising methods the supply only
followed a manifestation Of the desire
for It's presence."-Protitable Adver-

GOOD ROADS LOGIC.
IMPROVED HIGHWAYS CHEAPEN
TRANSPORTATION.

Increase Property Values and Make
Farm Products More Profitable.
Cost of Repairs Lessened, and Ant
mai Power Economised.
Many persons who see mentions OF
the "good roads movement" do not
realize that In this there may be one
of the great national issues Of our poll
tics at some time In the future, pos
sibly within a comparatively short
time This movement was started by
the wheelmen through their national
organization. the League of American
Wheelmen, and hundreds Of thousands
of dollars have been spent by 1t in the
agitation.
The principle Of the movement. as
advocated by the wheelmen, is that the
common roads of the country are as
important as the railway systems, the
statement being made by them and be-
ing easily understood that there is not
an ounce of any commodity hauled over
the railroads that Is not first transport
ed by wagons over county roads or
city streets. 1t does not matter II the
commodity Is manufactured articles
that are loaded on cars at the factory
the raw material has first to be hauled
to the factory But the greatest haul
ing is done in the farming districts.
and there 1t is that good highways are
most needed.
The subject has not been given the
attention and support 1t deserves as
yet. for the simple reason that private
capital cannot become interested in the
building of common roads, since there
would be no income from the invest
ment such as there is in railways
Municipal. county, state and the ma
tional governments have not had the
issue brought directly before them in

THE "HOFFMAN," corner of Hotel
and Nuuanu streets, claims to be the

holds the flag. l.. II. Dee, the pro-
prietor, has attained success in his
line, by specially and personally super
vising everything connected with his
establishment. Ne now introduces to
his patrons olympia Beer This
brew is from the Capital Brewing
Co." of Olympia, the capital of the
State of Washington, and was received
by the "Garonne." Mr.. Schmidt. the
leading spirit of this corporation, is a
practical Chemist and Brewer, and
after years of search and investigation
located his plant at Olympia, on ac-
count of the peculiar virtues of the
water of the Tum Falls, stream that
is noted for it's distinctive qualities of
clearness, GOODNESS and lack of mineral
and decaying vegetable impurities.
Pure beer can only be made with pure
water, and Tum water is traditional
in Washington with the Indians and
original white settlers. The "Olympia
Draught" is under the special control
and agency of Mr.. Dee and he invites
his patrons and friends to a personal
test and is willing to abide by their
judgment on the merits of his latest
venture.

ADMIRAL KAUTZ.
Gives a Sharp Reply to Consul Rose of
Germany.

AUCKLAND, n. H., April II, 9 a. m.
The friendly Samoans also attacked
the enemy during the latters retreat
and several rebels were killed and
wounded The friendlies carried one
head through Apia, which made Cap
tain Sturdee so furious that he went to
the king and threatened to shoot any
man found taking heads. The king
then issued a proclamation forbidding
the practice.
The German consul wrote to Admiral
Eautz asking If two great Christian
nations approved of this inhuman and
barbarous practice against the laws of
Christianity, and the decree of the SUI
preme court
The admiral replied agreeing with
the consul as to the inhumanity of the
practice and pointed out that had the
German consul upheld the decree of
the supreme court of January, there
would have been no bloodshed; that
the custom was an old Samoan one,
but first made known to the world ten
years ago, when the heads of honest
German sailors were cut off by the
barbarous chief, Mataafa, whom the
representative of the great Christian
nation, Germany, now supports.
Expeditions in armed cutters belong
ing to the Tauranga and Porpoise are
doing considerable execution against
Mataafa's stronghOlds along the coast.
The British forces are being assisted
by 100 Samoans. About forty-siX OF
Mataafa's boats and several villages
have been destroyed. In the mean
time flying columns are being sent ev-
cry day along the roads and through
the brush near Apia.

CTS No MEDAL Of HONOR
ROOSEVELT WAS BRAVE BUT
ONLY DID HIS DUTY.
only Twenty-Five Medals of HorJr
VIII be Awarded for Especial Gal
lantry in the Cuban War

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Wash
ington correspondent of the Herald
telegraphs: Theodore Roosevelt will
not receive a medal of honor IN recog-
milton of gallantry displayed by him
i'm leading his regiment up San Juan
hill. This is the decision of the board
which has been considering the cases
of officers and men entitled to medals,
brevets, certificates of merit and hon
orable mention for their conduct dur
ing the war with Spain.
The board has decided Colonel Roos-
evelt, while behaving bravely, only per-
formed his duty in leading his men, as
reward for which he received two bre-
vets, and that he did not perform any
action which would entitle him to a
medal of honor
| was told today the board would
recommend that less than twenty-five
officers and men receive medals of hon
or They performed meritorious acts
of gallantry not contemplated in their
orders and which exposed them to very
grave personal danger.
1t is understood the board will sub
nit it's report within a few days and
will then be dissolved. A new board
probably will soon be appointed, con-
sisting of Brigadier General Schwan
and Major Carter, members of the
present board, to report upon the cas-
es of officers recommended for reward
for gallantry displayed in fighting
against Filipino insurgents.

USES OF BUTTER.

Butter, which is almost indispensable
to the meal nowadays, was formely
used solely as an ointment. Herodo-
tus, the Greek historian, is the first
writer when mentions butter, 500 years
before Christ. The Spartans treated it
very much the same as we do cold
cream or Vaseline, and Plutarch tells
how a hostess was sickened at the
sight of one of her visitors a Spartan,
who was saturated in butter. The Scy-
thians introduced the article to the
Greeks, and the Germans showed the
Romans how to make it. But the lat
ter did not use it for food, They like
the Spartans, anionted their bodies
with it,.
