BURNS ARMIES OR wARsHrps.
PRof. reAtTovc, q Seattle Man, Wants
Government to Use His Idea
In ChiIa.

j. c. Sharp, a Salt Lake City busi-
neso man, is financial hacker of an
invention which it is claimed will
burn up armies or melt warships at
nine miles by means of concentrated
heat of the suns rays. Prof. Julius
Tantrove, of Seattle. is the inventor
of this device, which will be offered
to the war department for use in
China.
This seems unreasonable at first"
said Mr.. Sharp, but when you con-
slider that small hand sun glass will
concentrate enough heat to set fire
to paper or cloth the possibility of an
immense device can be more easily
realized. The plan is to use not an
ordinary lens. but plate glass ar
ranged in such way that IL con-
centrates an immense number of rays
and throws them great distance.
The method of arrangement consti.
tutes the secret of the discovery. For
commercial use heat can be concen-
trated and stored. In experiments in
Seattle Prof. Tantrove was able with
pieces of glass ten inches square TO
boil water in four minutes in a tea
kettle set on cake of ice 30 feet dis
tant. At the same time a board was
gnited almost instantly. BY increas-
ng the size of the plates there is no
INIT to the possibilities"

chine with which he intended to chal-
lenge William X. Vanderbilt, Jr., the
owner of the swiftest automobile in
America.
Mr. BoStwick brought back with
him no less than five autos. One of
them is q Winton machine, which he
recently took abroad with him to
test against the best products of
French designers. 1t fulfilled all his
expectations. He also brought back
three Voiturettes of different designs.
The machine, however, with which he
hopes to break all American records,
is a racing wonder which he pur-
chased from the Chevalier de Kuyff
company for $4,000.
1T is not true" said Mr.. Bostwick.

A Philadelphia physician of note, D..
Edward II. Dewey, claims to cure all
sorts of diseases by starving his pa
tients, The brain, says this practi-
toner, never loses weight in either
sickness or starvation. Usually the
mind remains clear when the body has
wasted away. The head is the power
house OF the body. The stomach is
run by brain power. When the stom-
ach does too much work it makes too
great demand upon the brain.
For more than 20 years" writes
this doctor, II have permitted my sick
to do without food so long as there
vas no desire for it. Not a mouthful
was enforced in any case, not one
mouthtul denied on the first hint of
hunger.
I'm this I have had all the medical
textbooks and the entire medical pro-
fession as authority unquestioned
against me. That food is needed to
sustain the strength of the sick has
never been matter OF question with
the medical profession.
Many Of my sick have gone for more
than month without food. One very
sick, in bed for more than a month
with acute rheumatism, was able to
wax about the room on the forty-sixth
day before the first food was taken.
Another patient, woman of 81, went
until the forty-third day before she
broke her fast, and without any omis-
sion OF her ordinary duties. A dis
eased stomach was cured as the result
and now, after five years, there has
been no return OF the trouble
fhysicisns are pretty generally
agreed that Americans eat too much
too much meat. The no
breakfast habit may not be SO very
silly after all.

What Dewey Won for us

The Philippine Islands lie to the
north of Borneo and are said tC
number nearly 1000. Of the whole
number some 600 are habitable
There are two among them that are
larger than Ireland, namely, Luzon,
with AZ, 900, and Mindano with 49,
900 square miles. Their total area
is ia, 1926 square miles. Their popu-
lation is about 100000. The
Tagals, who are of the Malay family,
are the most advanced Of the natives
They number about 1000, 900.
Cock lighting is the national sport.
The islands are rich in minerals
especially gold, copper and coal
and valuable woods. The soil is of
phenominal fertility. The forests
contain ebony, lcgwood, gum trees
and bamboos in the island of Pala-
wan, which has an area of $500
square miles; the islands have many
rivers and lakes IN the interior;
there frequent earthquakes; forests
coyer the mountains to their sum-
mits. Manila, the capital, IN the
island of Luzon, has more than
300 900 inhabitants, and there are
many large and important cities.
There are two seasons at Manila, the
wet from June to November, the
dry from November 10 June. The
brilliant victory of Admiral Dewey
on May l, 1898, at Manila, was
supplement to the treaty Of peace
with Spain, through which that
country was compelled to give up
all sovereignty over these islands
in consideration Of 100000 900 be-
ing paid by the United States. II

relative Importance of Letters.

To those who have never considered
the subject it might appear that each
letter is of equal Importance in the
formation of words, but the relative
proportions required in the English
language are these; A, s5; b, 16; C, 30:
d, "A; e, 100; I, %: &. II; h, Ga; i, so; j, 4;

r, 62; S, 80; t, 30; IL, "a; v, 12; w, 20: x, 4;
y, 20; z,2. 1t is this knowledge of how
frequently one letter is used compared
with others that enables cryptogram
readers to unrayel so many mysteries.

TIE PRICE OF BREAD

Last Friday Mr.. Mills sent me word that
he would reduce the Wholesale price of his
bread to the same figures at which Mr. Birrell
had been selling his bread for some time; aud
thinking it all folly to reduce the price Of
bread on rising wheat market, l bal an
interview with Mr.. Mills and he agreed to FELL
his ,esd at the old figures, provided would
do the same, and we would fight the low
priced bread together. Accordingly on Mon
day our bread went out as usual, and CO.
lections were made at the old figures. In the
evening of the same day Mr.. Mills appeared
az the bakery and stated that he was losing
his trade, and that he felt compelled to also
reduce his price. in order to hold his custom;
aud as it would have been foolish for me TO
stand alone In the matter, l concluded to
follow suit, and gave orders TO my drivers
on Tue sday TO sell the bread at Mr.. BirrelPs
figures, namely and 81 cents respectively;
enough Mr.. Brrell would make it appear in
his card in last nights Gszette that a com.
bination was formed agsinsl him by the other
bakers, and that they reduced the price OF
brosd in order to ipjure him.
