II can hardly believe that this step
mas been taken" said he, land if it
has, it is so unfortunate jn its intiu-
ence upon the general question that |
am greatly in hopes Germany will re-
consider. The condition imposed upon
China would be very hard. 1t would
amount to dsterminiEg one Of the sub
jecis of negotiation before negotiations
had commenced. But more than this,
such IL condition, il imposed, Is simply
impossible; and being impossible, the
effect would be 10 bring the peace me-
aotiatiuns to complete standstill. "

LABOR NOTES.

A machine that will do the work of
section gangs on railroads in leveling
and trimming the road-bed and pre-
serving the proper width, level and
slope called for by the standard cross
section of the road, has been invented
by Frank Barr. ordinarily this work
is done by hand labor, and it requires
some skill to do it correctly. 1t is
throwing the laborers into a panic all
along the line. Space prevents giving
a detailed description of this new colos-
sal labor-displacing tool 1t is only
necessary to mention that a 30-mile
section was trimmed with the car in
| four days recently, whereas the same
work, if done in the same time by hand
would have required the employment
of 375 men. AS it was, the force re-
quired, in addition to the locomotive
consisted of train crew, a foreman
and four men. In a word, there is a
saving, or displacement, of 85 per cent
in cost of labor.

! Popular Science Monthlv.l

Popular Science Monthly1
Languor, loss of appetite, indiges-
Non and often feverishness are the com.
mon symptoms of physiological con-
dition termed malaria" All these
4 symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect of the use Of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect of
pom the system. 1t obstructs
lion, prostrates the nerves, coagu-
lRtes and devitalizes the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks to
,phS6leiais, boards of health, and food
commissions. So "highly injurious to
the health of the community" does the
eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he says
their sale should be prohibited by
law"
Under these circumstances it is
worth Che while of every housewife to
employ the very little care that is nec'
esssry to keep so dangerous an element
from the food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about forty-five
TO ffty cents a pound. Therefore, il
you are paying much less something II
wrong; if you are paying twenty-fi five
cents OF less per pound, the powder il
certainly made from alum. Away
bear these simple facts in mind whel
