MACKAY'S Wire ORDER
BOSTON -JilpING.

The New York Commercial Of Octo
Der 18th says:
The laying of a cable across the
Pacific ocean to the Philippines. il
was said today, will be begun at
once. The cable wire has already
been ordered. The decision Of the
Commercial Gable Company to go
ahead with the work is based on the
report recently made by Attorney Gen.
eral Knox that J. w. Mackay and his
associates have a legal right to make
cable landings in California and Ha
wall.
When seen today officials of the
Commercial Cable Company declined
to make any statement, but an author
lily closely identified with the Mackay
Interests said:
Attorney General Knox believes the
Mackay company has legal rights no
only to construct cable to Hawaii,
but that this also applies to the Phil
ippines. The company will complete

The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1901-12-27

The inhabitants of the countries bor-
dering on India have their own meth
ods OF making fire. A Burmese mes
senger recently brought note to an
English official, and the latter observed
something resembling boys popgun
hanging by the messengers side. Gu
riosity prompted him to ask the native
what 1t was, and he was surprised to
find that 1t was a machine for making
fire.
The native exhibited the apparatus
and explained the working, concluding
with a practical demonstration. 1t
was tube, closed at one end and fitted
with a piston. At the end of the piston
was a groove or cavity, smeared with
wax, which was used for making
thread or infiammable material adhere
to 1t. The tinder, to keep the old name,
is pressed on the wax when n light Is
required and Is not kept there always.
Placing the wisp of cotton ON the
wax, the native inserted the tightly
fitting piston in the tube, then forced
it along the latter by giving 1t sharp
blow. On withdrawing the piston the
cotton was found to be allght, having
been ignited by the concussion with the
compressed air.-Pearson's Weekly.

Man who Named America.

Few Americans are aware of the fact
that the name of their continent is due
to a German scholar. In 1907 Martin
Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla-
comylus, of st. Die, in the Vosges,
edited book called "CosmographiR
Introductio," In which he gave n trans
lation Of Amerigo Vespucci's descrip-
tion of his voyages.
That was just the time when Ameri-
go's fame filed the world, while Colum-
bus disgrace overshadowed his merit,
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village in the Vosges
when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own
glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that,
since the new continent was, after all,
not part of the Indies, no name would
suit 1t better than that of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide, and
so quickly was the proposition accepted
that, when later on the true diseoverer
was known, the name was already
rooted too deeply In general use to
be abolished, and was even extended
to the north part of the continent, while
Hylacomylus had only meant it for
the present South America. National
Geographic Magazine.

For Tired Eyes.

Eyes will be greatly strengthened by
putting the face down into a glass or
eyecup of water the first thing in the
morning and opening them under wa
ter. This Is somewhat difficult to do
at first, but If the water for two or
three days be tepld and gradually made
colder by imperceptlble degrees until
1t Is no shock to put the face into quite
cold water 1t will soon become quite
easy and is very inyigorating and re-
freshing.
If done regularly every day, this
treatment alone will preserve the sight
into quite old age. There is a right
and wrong way of wiplng the eyes
after this, too, and the right way Is to
pass the soft towel very gently from
the outer angle inward toward the
nose.
If after a long day the eyes feel SO
hot and tired that they seem dim when
one tries to read or to do little neces-
sary sewing for oneself, they should be
bathed with cold tea from which the
leaves have been removed.

ARMOURS BUY SALT ABROAD:
Send to Portugal to Escape the
High Price of the Trust in

A large shipment of saffron Lis

Packing company has just begun
to arrive in Kansas City, Thirty
FIVE cars have reached there and
twenty-five cars are on the way.
Each car is loaded with from thirty
five to forty tons Of the salt, all IN
bulk.
The purchase abroad of this
enormous quantity of salt by the
Armour company was provoked by
the high prices demanded by the
salt trust in this country. Salt
might have been, bought from the
Hutchinson (Kas.) companies.
The Armour company uses about
fifteen carloads a week. James
Terrell, purchasing agent for the
said:
prices are now SO a ton, a figure
$50 high that we were forced to do
something desperate to escape the
pa ment of it. Instead of buying
salt at point 210 miles from Kan
sas City we have sent more than
5000 miles to another country for it,
and after paying steamer and
freight rates and custom duty of
6 cents hundred, we are still able
to save money. This shows what
an outrageous profit the salt trust
makes ia this country.

but included the following para
graphs which we're not included in

"Ikhas been recently said that our
fathers organized a misshapen,

and reservations apply to all
lands that become part of our
public domain and to all peoples
whose allegiance we accept. Nov,
whatever the professors OF aesthetics
may tell us about beauty in the
abstract, we know that in nature
and mechanics and in formative
statecraft such a principle has
chiefly to do with an intended use.
That which accomplishes the
designed use is not misshapen.
Orators are misshapen eagles, as
all of US have found when we tried
to soarI And 50. before we con-
denim our constitution as misshapen,
if it carries its general limitations
and its reservations Of personal
rights to all lands over which its
sway extends and to all people who
owe allegiance to the government il
organizes, we must assume that the
men of 1910 aud l777 contemplated
tine governing OF ands ana peoples
with that absolutism against which
so much cost and care they had
defended themselves. That is to
