several of the southern and middle
states have lately aroused great interest
in the subject of highway Improvement.
1t wasthis association which, with the
cooperation OF the Illinois Central rail-
road, conducted, with pronounced sue
cess, the experiment of running train
called the Good Roads Special" from
New Orleans to Chicago, for the purpose
of constructing short roads at various
places along the route and thus illus
trating what might be accomplished in
that direction elsewhere in the United
States.

in this country ever created in SO short

Virginia Version Of a Classic.

The proposed Virginia method Of deal
ing with the political remains of Will
lam Jennings Bryan is unique. 1t is
precisely the reverse of that adopted by
Marc Antony, who, after having de-
clared, / come to bury Caesar, not to
praise him, proceeded to the task Of
eulogy. The virginians, protesting that
they came to praise Bryan not to bury
him. at once set about wrapping him in
grave cloths and laying him away for
sepulture with Jefferson. Jackson and
Tilden. We do not believe that this
polite way of saying goodbye" will suit
Mr.. Bryan and we suspect that the
shades of the dead statesman to whose
illustrious company he is commended
may be trlf1e nervous because OF the
Intrusion.

road law has been adopted lately, and
the reports from that state indicate that
Its citizens are still enthusiastic upon
the subject of highway improvement. In
October the president of the Mississippi
Good Roads Association will call a
meeting OF that body's executive COM
mittee for the purpose of drafting bill
to submit to the Legislature at is next
session. 1t is expected that the proposed
measure will fully set forth the needs
of that state. as seen by the local lead
ers of the association.
No reason Is apparent why the meet
ing at Buffalo should not be as success
full as those which have been held in the
south. While 1t is true that Statesmen,
financiers and other citizens of the En-
Ipire state are perfectly aware of the ad-
vantages which would accrue from the
possession of smooth and permanent
roads, 1t is equally certain that there is
need OF substantial argument and DEM
onstration In the matter among resi-
dents of rural districts. Such residents.
naturally enough, vigorously oppose the
imposition of additional taxes for Inn
provements which. they declare, would
benefit rich people more Immediately
than others. Most farmers overlook the
fact that better highways would enable
them to draw heavier loads than they
are able to draw now. would entail less
wear and tear upon their wagons. would
save much time in transportation and
would considerably increase the value of
their farm property.
If the orators at the good roads con-
gress in Buffalo, and the experts who
will accompany them and give instruc-
ton and practical Illustrations in road
making. succeed in enlisting the SYM
pathy and support of our friends in the
country they should feel Themselves well
repaid for their efforts. We believe that
in large measure. they will succeed
Facts are facts. and enough OF them
have been established recently by the
experiments in road making to justify
any claims which are likely to be made
at the meeting.

The Wizard Claims to Have Invented
5 Wonderful instrument.
New York, Aug. 90 Nikola Tesla, the
inventor. received word yesterday that
the complicated apparatus he has de-
vised for the transmission Of electric en-
ergy to all quarters of the, globe is COM
pleted. incidentally these instruments
are available for the senaing Of tele-
phonic messages without the aid of
wires. but this Is only one item in the
incredible labor which the Servian has
planned his myterious niechanisms to
perform.
The preliminary tests OF Tesla's sys-
tenn of long distance transmission will
be In the sending of messages across
the Atlantic. This will not be in the ma
ture of an experiment, however, for
Tesla overcame the difficulties attend
ant on wireless telegrahpy six years
ago, and passed on from them to the
perfection of greater work, the send
ing of electricalenergya across seas and
continents.
His purpose, which he now looks upon
as accomplished in all save actual OPP
Grafton, is to encircle the globe with a
complete chain of electrical force, dir

the will of one man.
Most of the apparatus which is to be
employed in this wonder work, and
which Is now in readiness for installa-
ton in his main power station, has been
made, and by Sept. construction
force will begin setting it up at the
headquarters which the inventor is
about to establish at Wardenclyffe.
Long Island. 6
Three stations have been arranged for
on the othersside of the Atlantic-cne in
Portugal. one in France and one in Ger
many. BY the ende of September it is
expected that all the mechanism requis-
lite to the transatlantic service will be in
position.
Regarding the feasibility of sending
wireless messages across the Atlantic
the inventor has no doubt. 1t will re-
quire no preliminary experiment, he
says, for he knows almost to a hairs
difference how his machine will work.
He has said that within a year his ap-
paratus will be in common use.
Tesla is averse to talking for print
about his inventions or the inventions OF
others. He declined today to do SO.
II can only say he said earnestly,
that there is only little while to
wait and the public, not only here at
home but abroad, will see that me- in

for them and far more. Doubt Is not
disturbing. People doubted that the

SUBSTITUTES FOR POTATOES.

The partial failure of the potato crop
has led many householders to consider
the use of desirable or obtainable substi-
tutes for what is considered table ne
cessity with hosts of people. Present
prices have placed them beyond the
reach of many people. A woman in Chi-
cago whose husband works for $3.50 per
day is quoted by the Tribune as saying:
We have a family of three, but we can
not afford to live on vegetables. as we
once did. Potatoes cost us $3.50, and tu1S
nips, peas, beans and cabbage are way
beyond our purse" That paper says
further:
AT the Columbus building food labora-
tories and at the offices of the state pure
food commission yesterday it was de-
clared that if the poor would only put
aside their false ideas of the necessity
of potatoes and vegetables they could
have variety and all the good effects
of the same with rice, corn and hominy.
These, it was asserted, are cheaper ana
more nutritious than potatoes.
State Analyst E. N. Eaton and DR..
Evans of the Columbus food laborato-
| ries, assert that all that prevents such
| famines from being a thing of the past
| is prejudice They say boiled rice and
boiled potatoes are similar in their in
gradients, and present the following
| comparative anaylsis:
Potatoes have 751. per cent of water
and rice 721s per cent. potatoes have 2.22
Der cent of albuminous matter and rice
IS per cent, potatoes have 30 per cent
| of starch and rice "a 4-1O per cent, po-
tatoes have :O1 per cent of mineral mat
ter and rice three-tenths of per cent.
This, it is claimed. makes the two
similar in health-giving powers, but

row, it is over % per cent cheaper. The

Muscle and brain are built up better
by corn and rice than by potatoes said
DIR. Eaton recently. "They contain more
phosphates ana protein, and both are
necessary. They can be prepared suita-
| BILE to the palate in a thousand ways
4 and there is no need of a cry for pota-

AND SILL They RLuNpER.

1t was perhaps too much to expect the
cal judgment in the democratic state
convention. AS in the past, they We're
bent upon doing the wrong thing at a
critical time. An opportunity to har-
monte the old elements of the party
was made the occasion for a reaffirma-
ton of an old heresy against which a
large wing of the party has bitterly set
its face. This alienated element pleaded
hard for some consideration, but was
turned down. The gold democrats We're
wounded in the house of their friends.
The silverites We're as hostile to them
as to their common enemy, the repub-
licans. The latter have merely widened

THE DEADLY MOSQUITO.

Since it has been fully demonstrated
that mosquitoes carry the yellow fever
and other disease germs and can inocu-
late human beings with deadly diseases,
a greater effort than ever is being ma de
to exterminate them or to exclude them
from homes and cities. The experiment
at Havana was interesting and instruc-
tive. Two men We're bitten by insects
set apart for experiments of a Brazilian
expert who had been arranging to dem
onstrate the alleged efficiency of a Sc
rum as a preventive against yellow fe-
YER The mosquitoes had previously had
access to fever patients, and after they
had bitten two healthy subjects yellow
fever developed and both died as re-
suit of it. The serum did not work
but the fever did, rather too effectively.
The demonstration is valuable and as
prevention is better than cure" the
way is now open to minimize disaster
and death from this disease. Guided to
some extent by this revelation, the New
Orleans board of health has begun an
anti-mosquito crusade. The work is
under the charge of Dr. Michanard, as
assisted by four sanitary inspectors and
by a number of voluntary citizens. The
district visited includes about 5000
premises. About thousand of them
were visited, and all the cisterns and
others places where water is found were
treated with parafine oil. The results
are being watched in studious way
