New York, January 31.-A special to the Tribune from Washington says:
 The permanent court of arbitration pro- Y1ded by the convention signed at The Hague on July 29, 1S99 is now ready to consider any International dispute that may be presented.
 Easily the highest tribunal in the world with the most numerous and eminent bench of any court ever projected, this single fru- ition of the Czars peace conference has gust been completely organized for busi- ness and the State Department has off cially issued the roster of it's membership including It's secretaries.
 Fifteen nations, embracing all the mari time powers, have appointed their mem bers, and only a few countries compara- lively insignificant as interna tional factors are unrepresented. These are Bulgaria. Montenegro, Persia, Siam and Switzer- land"

FL Reno, Ok, July 10.-Every train

ways leading into the city are lined
with travellers TO this place for the
same purpose. The hotels and res
taurants are already taxed to their

suffering here for lack Of food and
accommodation. The opera house

blankets, expecting to camp out, and
hundreds of tents now dot the side

ticipated no serious trouble with
''sooners' at the opening of the Ok

EVERY METAL NEEDS REST.
Lessen the Durability OF
Iron and Steel.

It may sound strangely to hear per-
sons talk about a tired steel ak" or a
''fatigued iron rail-" but that sort Of
talk is heard along railways and in ma
chine shops and is considered correct,
says the New York Herald. "The idea
of inanimate metal becoming weary
may be your thought, but experts IA
miliar with the ways Of machinery say
that work makes it tired and that it
needs rest, as you do.
What caused the axle to break?''
asks the railway superintendent.
Fatigue of the metal" answers the
inspector.
That answer is frequent and often
in accordance with the facts. At times
an axle breaks or a rail parts or a wheel
separates under much less than the
usual strain and the most careful exam
fnatiOn possible viii show no defect or
weakness. This leads engineers to
charge fatigue of the metal with the re-
suit.
Sinews of steel can tire as well as
muscles Of Drawn, and metal that does
not have its rest viii cease to do its
work and may cause great damage. At
least so the engineers say; and assert
that without rest the affinity of the
molecules Of the metal for each other
becomes weakened until the breaking
point is reached. Then comes trouble.
BARRIERS hold the same opinion, and
say that razors must have a rest or else
You cannot keep an edge on them, and
many men who shave themselves keen
two or more Tazors so as to make a va.
cation for recuperation possible.

use of "senorita'' as the Christian

Turkey Bars ont Tvpewriters.

An instance Of the inexplicable con-
servatism and arrogance of the Turkish
customs authorities was recently evil
denced by the prohibition of the i'm
portation Of typewriters into the
country. The reason advanced by the
authorities for this step is that type
writing affords no clew to the author,
and that therefore IN the event Of
seditiOus or Opprobrious pamphlets or
writings executed by the typewriter
being circulated it would be impossible
to obtain any clew by which the opera
tor Of the machine might be traced. A
large consignment of 200 typewriters
was lying in the custom house at the
time the above law was passed, and as
there is no apparent possibility Of the
authorities repeating their ridiculous
decree, the machines will have to be
returned. Efforts are being made by
the various embassies to induce the
authorities to assume a more reason
able attitude. The same decree also
applies to the mimeograph and other
similar duplicating machines and
mediums.

JESSIE MORRISON A CONVICT.
the Kansas Prison to Serve a
Sentence of Five Years.

Eldorado, Kan, July I'm the dis
trict court Saturday the motion for a
new trial for Jessie Morrison, con-
victed of manslaughter in the second
degree for killing Mrs. Clara Castle,
came up before Judge Aillman. The
attorneys for Miss Morrison present
ed IS reasons why a new trial should
be granted. but Judge Altman over
ruled them all. The defense next fled
a motion for a pOstpOnement of SEN
tence, which was also Overruled. They
then filed a motion for arrest of jUdg-
ment, but the judge Overruled it and
formally sentenced Miss Morrison to
five years in the state penitentiary,
and to be kept in close confinement
and hard labor. When Judge Altman
pronounced the words, ''hard labor, 5"
the defendant turned little paIer,
but otherwise she took the sentence
calmly and returned to her cell with
steady step.

with his prisoner for Lansing, where
she was placed in state prison. Her
attorneys viii appeal to the supreme
court for a new trial and try to secure
her release on bond.

Ner Rubber Plant.

Rubber being in growing demand,
scientific men have been trying 70 OBJ
tain it from plants which had not
been available commercially before.
Two French chemists, NM. ArnaUd
and VernuiI, have discovered a proc
ess by which it may be obtained from
the Landolfia vine, which grows wild
and luxuriantly in nearly all parts Of
Africa. Tbs process Of tapping the
LandOlfia is mprae+ieable as the flow
of rubber hardens too quickly. By
the new process the vine is crushed in
hot water, by which means all the
rubber it contains is extracted.

II requires a large force of men TO
construct the buildings Of a great big
exposition. The various workers en-
oIoyed in the construticl of the Pan
American exposition at Buffalo, \. Y,
and in the carrying on Of the large
business of the exposition company
are numerous enough to populate a
small city. There are more than 5000
men engaged in the mechanical and
other labor upon the buildings Of the
exposition and the work upon the
grounds, and the number is steadily
increasing. They are employed in ere
ating the framework of the buildings,
making the staff and placing it in
position on the exposition structures,
IN painting the staff exterior of the
buildings, in grading and planting, IN
digging canals, nursing shrUbPery and
srees, and in the performance of
thousand and one other details. As
they march out Of the grounds
promptly every afternoon at half-past
four o'clock, they constitute a for
midable looking army. Besides these,
there are hundreds of other employees
engaged in the Service building and
in the Offices of the exposition in the
ElIicOtt Square building, drafting
plans, and making working drawings.
in carrying out the instructions and
ideas OF the various heads Of depart
ments, in providing for the publicity

A ships log Is an instrument for

Is going aud consists Of three parts
viz. the log chip. the log line and the
log glass. The principle is simply thls'
A light substance thrown from the
vessel ceases to partake Of the motion

water and will be left behind on the

mate rate of sailing will be given.
The log chip Is the float, the log line

Renting Locomotive..

Hundreds of locomotives are rented
every year. Several corporations make
their chief revenue this way. The
Baldwfns have many machines out on
the rental form of payment-that is,
the engines are rented in the same way
that you would buy a stove on install
ments-so much down, so much a
month, the payments to apply on the
final purchase money. 1t is seldom,
however, that railroad rents locomo-
tives. They are usually let out to con-
tractors who construct temporary rail
ways for hauling dirt from excava-
tions.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gilded
on them SO that the public may suppose
that they belong to them. The engines,
as usual thing. are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once,
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
are oftentimes also the cast offs of the
profession. They may have operated
express engines, but through careless
ness or other incapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only ft to haul gravel or
wood trains.-Phlladelphia Record.
