were again in motion, where for
merly two or three days loss time

here just at present. People
whose crops are all out in the
fields soaking and growing, with
winter fast approaching, cannot be
expected to enthuse much over
politics. But the fact should not
be overlooked that it is the duty
of every citizen of the United
States to take an active and earn
est interest in politics, study the
issues, attend political meetings
and enable himself to vote for the
best interests of his country, re-
gardless of the condition of the
crops, or whether the weather is

A Novel Voting Machine.

A novel voting machine was tested
the other day at the government prinf-
ing Office in Rome. 1t is the work of
DR.. G.. Trespioli, a well-known SCENT
list, and his brother Faustus. A voter
goes to the polling booth and the Off
cial in charge cancels his name on the
register and puts in it's place a stff
bearing the number of the ward, and
a progressive number, which he OBJ
tains by consulting and setting the ma
chine in operation. Until this number
is obtained the voter can do nothing.
for the machine would not act. When
he learns his number all he has to do
is to step on the pedal Of the machine
and press on the ticket bearing the
name Of the candidate he prefers.
Then, after he has removed his foot
from the pedal, he sees under a plate
of glass his ticket go directly into the
ballot box, and thus his duty is done.
The machine is in the form of a box.
and it contains scrolls of cardboard on
which are printed the James of the va
rious candidates. After each voter has
maze his selection a ticket is cut from
one of the scrolls, and passes into the
ballot box. which is constantly revolv-
ing. When the days work Is over the
ballot box is opened and the votes are
counted in the usual manner.

tn. Richest American Indian.

Although once the possessor Of a
vast continent, the American Indians
are today a poor people. Except in a
few cases where they have separated
from the mass of their race and adopt
ed the life of their white neighbors,
their accumulations of property cut a
comparatively small figure in the total
wealth of the country. A rare excep-
ton to the rule is found in the person
of DIR. Acland Oronhyatekha, a Cana
dian Inoian, who has gained both
wealth and fame by force of his genius
and business ability. DR.. Oronhya-
tekha's good fortune began in 1860, at
Brantford, Ont, when he, a lad of 10,
CHANGED to meet the prince of Wales,
who was then making a tour
of America. The prince was so
impressed with the brightness
Of the young mar that he
invited him to England and gave him
an education at Oxford university
Oronhyatekha afterward studied medi-
cine at Toronto university, graduating
therefrom in due course. He was high
ly successful as q physician, but his
best fortune came. in connection with
the Ancient Order of Foresters, q fra
ternal benefit society which he organ

The. West indie. Hurricane.

The United States photographic
dee has tracked out the late destructive
West Indian hurricane. 1t vas first en-
countered ON August 3 at a point near
latitude, IL degrees north, further east
than any tropical storm hitherto re-
ported to the photographic office. The
center of the storm reached Porto Rico
on the 9Th, Hayti on the 9th, Bahamas
on the 18th, and Jupiter, Fla, on the
18th. 1t then continued parallel to the
United States coast, where hurricanes
were reported by vessels until the 10Th.
When last reported, on the 21st, it was
near latitude 40 degrees north and lon
'gitude 60 degrees west, much weakened
in character. The life of this hurricane
is stated to have been longer than any
hitherto reported to the photographic
Office.

Necessary to warfare sad. Although
Hssardous. It Il Lucrative.
From the London Mail: The word
spy" has an. Ugly sound owing
to its many unpleasant associations,
yet in war times spies afford an army
aid which is as valuable as it is highly
remunerated. One of the maxims Of
commanding officers, in a book for
their guidance written by Lord Wolse-
ley, is that a successful spy must be,
petted and made much of. The man
,agement Of spies is very difficult. Out
Of every ten employed by an officer
commanding a war district he is for
tunate If one gives him truthful in
formation. 1t is a most important
thing that spies should not be known
to each other. Great care is generally
taken by officers that each spy shall
imagine that he is the only that is en-
ployed. It is very necessary that all
bona-fide spies should have about their
persons some leans of proving them
selves really to be what they represent
themselves. For this purpose a coin
of a certain date, a Bible of q certain
edition, q testament with the seventh
Of fifteenth leaf torn out are generally
employed. BY their means a spy who
al employed in a neutral state, maxi
ing his way to the headquarters Of the
army in the field, could thus make
himself known to the intelligence de-
partment there. In some instances it
is considered that a sign or password
should be employed, as it is less COM
promising. The putting up Of the
right hand to the ear and then to the
left ear, or some such gesture, is gen.
orally employed. The more extensive
the r~amifcations of the system the bet
ter are the chances for escaping detec-
ton. 1t is very necessary that officers
of the intelligence department should
be provided with specially prepared
paper, upon which letters can be writ
ten in ink that does not become visible
until it has been subjected to some
chemical process. ]. is also necessary
that q letter in ordinary ink should in
variably be written OF the same paper
containing the information that 1t is
required to keep secret. Although a
spy runs the great risk of immediate
death IL he is detected, yet the service
is not without glory at times, and it ia
certainly extremely lucrative. i.
