Ideas Become
Fast

Instances are numerous which show
how the fancies of the novelist may
become realities through men and
imaginary scenes of the story teller.
1t is we'll known that Sir Walter Be
SAINTS story of "All Sorts and Condi-
tions of Men" brought about the build
ing of the Peoples palace in London.
Jules Verne's apparently wild flights
Of imagination in Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" is probably
largely responsible for the wonderful
progress that has been made in SUBJ
marine navigation, and the construc-
tors and operators of these boats have
been already able to discount some Of
the novelist's fancies. When the city
of Galveston was overwhelmed in an
instant by the destroying waters tens
of thousands of people read the de-
tailed story in the newspapers and
wondered at the reproduction in this
catastrophy of the Lafeadio Hearn's
story of "Chitu: A Memory of Lost
Islands," The Galveston story, to the
smallest detail, had long before been
dreamed and the dream told by the
pen of Hearn. Those who have read
king Solomon's Mines remember
how Captain Good upon one occasion
when things were looking decidedly
dubious for the English adventures
saved the lives of himself and his com
panions by a skillful manipulation of
his single eyeglass and his false teeth.
The recent outbreak in Ashanti fur
nished an incident which almost paral-
leled the one imagined by Rider Hag-
gard. Two Englishmen were in a na-
tive village far out on the western bor-
ders of the disturbed country. When
the war broke out all their native
servants left them and they were alone
with the hostile savages. One, a min
ing prospector, went to a ~neighboring
chief for protection. The chief re-
ceived him kindly, gave him a meal
and, while he was eating, beat his
brains out with a war club. The other
man, Walter Bennett by name, a sur
veyor, was starting from his house
when he heard the fate of his compan-
ion. He made his way to another
chief, who received him grimly, took
him into his house and then intimated
that he would shortly "do things" to
Mr.. Bennett. The chiefs family gath
cred around to inspect their victim and
the E~nglishman adjusted his monocle
and sat down to think things over.

LIQUID FUEL EXPERIMENTS.
Two Very Serious Objections to the Csc
of Oil.

Two Very Serious Objections to he Csc
of Oil.
A subject which is always OF inter
est in connection with all marine ma
chinery is the use of liquid fuel. It's
obvious advantages in the way of con-
venience of storage and rapidity of re-
-ceipt are in its favor, while the much
higher caloriic value than that of coal
and the close fire regulation possible,
as we'll as the immediate effect of it's
combustion, would all commend it very
highly. Experiments have been made
in many countries to determine it's
adaptabi1ity, and some very interest
ing experiments made in Italy about
1892 showed that a common opinion is
erroneous, namely, that the use of
steam for spraying the oil would be
inadmissible on account of the large
amount required. The Italian expert
ments showed that a high efficiency in
the use of oil could be obtained with
an expenditure of less than 2 per cent
Of the amount of water vaporized. This
would be the simplest way to secure
the spraying OF the oil, as 1t would
do away with the somewhat compli-
Gated machinery needed for compress
ing air if that were used. There are
two very serious objections, however,
to the use of oil. One is that there
are relatively few places where fuel
oil could at present be obtained, along
with the fact that any extensive de-
mand would probably raise the price
so as to make it more expensive than
coal. The second objection, however,
is the more serious one, namely, that
thus far it has been found impossible
with liquid fuel to obtain as great an
amount of power from a given boiler
as when good coal is used.-National
Gazette.

GRIM TO GER
PROVISION AGAINST NTEMPERANCE IN
SOUTH CAROLINA TOWN

was a bitter fight in the council over
the proposed legislation. Class was
arrayed against class, but the anti
stagger law prevailed, and it was &C
cordingly entered on the statutes.
There is no provision in the law
by which a man suffering from paraly-
sis can be exempted from the operation
of the law. All staggering people look
alike to the wise men of Yorkville.
Whether he stagger from drink or
from partial paralysis, he is seized,
hurried before a town physician, and
odor of whisky he is sent up to be
fined; if he staggers from paralysis
or from other troubles, and can pro-
duce the whisky odor besides, he is
dealt with under the .anti-stagger law.
Friends and supporters of the new
measure declare that it has rid the
streets of the drunkards and has ma
terially decreased the sale of liquor.
Men who fought for its adoption de-
clare that it has increased drunken
ness, because men buy the whisky from
the ''blind tigers and then go home
to drink the entire supply, with the
expectation of remaining there until
thoroughly sobered. The law has in
jected new issues into the political life
of Yorkville, and people from other
towns are anxious to see similar meas
ures adopted at their homes.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-10-31

The strangest law which has ever
sary system has been adopted by the
town council of Yorkville, a thriving
country seat heal the mountain line.
When the dispensary system was first
operated Yorkville fought it bitterly,
because the citizens of that town are
strong on temperance. The law was
unpopular. 1t did not prove success
full, and finally it was decided to have
an election in which the people could
express their views on the ~dispensary
or prohibition. The voters buried the
%dispensary and prohibition ruled the
day.
But the closing of the state estab-
lishments did not stop the sale of
liquors. Men got drunk just as they
formerly had done, and in the low
quarter Of the town intoxicated men
reeled out, a shocking spectacle of
prohibition. The wise heads took
counsel together. They talked over the
defects, and agreed to punish the man
who drank, and not the man who
! sold. An extra meeting of the town
council was called. An ordinance was
introduced making it a misdemeanor
for any person to be seen staggering on
the streets of the town. That was
where the wise heads thought the root
of the evil could be crushed. There

Fancies Of Novelists
Reproduced In
Actual Life.

The single eyeglass at once caught the
fancy of the chiefs wives and children
and they laughed mi jabbered until
Mr.. Bennett had to laugh too. For an
hour or so the family of the chief kept
the surveyor doing stunts with his
~eyeglass. When he managed to screw
the glass into the eye of the chiefs
favorite wife the hilarious rapture OF
the whole village was complete, and
even the old chief laughed until his
woolly hair hurt him. Needless to say
was conducted to a place from which
he could reach the British lines. Bib
ianiha is the name of the village
where the surveyor saved his life after
the manner of Captain Good of king
Solomon's Mines" You can't find it on
the map-at least not on the ordinary
ones-but it is probable that the vii
layers are laughing there yet at the
strange Englishman with the adjusta-
bic eye Some years ago Justin Nc
Carthy wrote a novel called Red Dia-
monds." In that story can be found
mang things which remind n of the
Molineux case. Captain Praven, secre-
tary of the Voyagers' club in that story,
had an enemy called Bostwick, who
tried to kill him as, it is alleged, Moli-
neux tried to kill Harry Cornish, by
sending him some poisoned headache
powders, which came to the captain in
almost exactly the same as the
powders came to Cornish. And the
failure of the plot is about similar in
manner to the failure of the plot
against Cornish. When Alaska was
purchased from Russia in 1867 40 one
thought that it would prove a second

year Bret Harte pictured Yankee min
ers swinging their picks in the midst
of wildernesses of snow and ice, and,
in fact, prophesied the Klondike out Of
the fullness of his imagination. In
Pursued by the Law" j. Maclaren
Cobbian has a criminal, in the custody
of two policemen, scramble through
the window of a rapidly moving rail-
way train, leap from it to the ground
and make off. The critics naturally pro-
nounced this incident as highly eX-
citing, but unfortunately impossible"
Two days after such a criticism ap-
peared the London papers, under the
heading "Leaped from a Train"
chronicled an incident exactly similar
to that described by Mr.. Cobbian.-Chi-

THE INFLUENCE OF NOTICE.
One Of the Chief Causes of disease In
cities.

Cities.
Very few people realize how import
ant a factor noise is in the production,
of disease. Although not generally rec
ognized, this is one of the principal
reasons why country life is more
healthful than city life. The proper
tionate excess of disease in cities Is
not all due to defective dwellings, and
imperfect nutrition, although they are
grave contributing causes. 1t is the
ceaseless roar and din of a large city
chat slowly but surely undermines the
health. Apart from it's baneful eff
fects upon the sense of hearing itself,
the ceaseless Babel of discordant
sounds peculiar to large cities .exerts
a disastrous influence upon TIE brain
and nervous system, which may with
certainly he c~atalogued as one of the
principal causes of n~eurasthenia. 1t.
is true that the system becomes habit
uated to 1T, even as the operatives in.
a boiler factory becomes SO accus-
toned to the changing of the hammers
that the cessation of work almost
operates as a shock; but, although the
system becomes trained to take no
active cognizance of it. It's demoraIiz-
ing effects are ever present.
In London the city government has
recently taken steps to suppress the
last-named nuisance-a proceeding
which might be followed with advant-
age in our own cities. We are led to
the above reflections by the discharges
Of crackers that characterize the arri-
val of the all important Fourth, and
at the risk of being considered defic-
lent in patriotism we would raise the
question whether a nation like the
American, which leads the world in so
many important matters, could not
find some more reasonable method of
expressing it's jubilation than by a din
of discordant sound emanating from
fireworks, horns and steam whistles?
The lower we descend in the scale OF
humanity, the greater we find the
partiality for noise, and reasoning
from this standpoint, the present
means employed in the celebration of
popular events is by no mea compli-
mentary to the boosted breeding of the
nation. We can not avoid the con-
clusion chat in a nation of gentle
men the disease-producing din which
is an accompaniment of present city
life would be conspicuous of its abb
sence.-Health.

Souls can not be estimated in shek-
els, says the Evangelist, and yet there
does seem to be an unwelcome signifi-
canoe in the fact that, as some one has
estimated last year, the sum of $780,
900 was expended in Greater New
York for the current expenses of Pro-
testant churches, while the increase in
membership was only 5,278. Yet the
fault, continues the Evangelist, of
these facts is not to be blamed wholly
upon the members of the churches, as
SO many very glibly say, but in large
measure to be attributed to the desper-
ately wicked worldliness of great
masses of II time, who, in spite OF
all manner of gospel advantages and
appeals, go on their way, like Gallo
of old, caring for none of these things

The butter of Denmark is considered
superior to that of all other countries.
Tt brings the highest price in fancy
markets, and can be found all over
the world in shops where luxuries are
sold. In South America, South Africa,
in the East and West Indies, in India,
Egypt, and in tropical countries gen
orally it is used by e%picures, who pay
81 a pound for it in tins of one, two
and three pounds weight. No other
country has been able to produce but
ter that will stand changes of climate
so we'll. In Holland and Sweden at
tempts are made to compete with the
Danish dairymen, but the butter from
those countries is worth only half as
much and does not keep half as well,
while the efforts of dairymen in the
United States have practically failed
with a few isolated exceptions.

Professional Viper Killer.

Among the strange and hazardous
ways for earning a livelihood which
men have devised perhaps there is
none more unusual and curious than
that followed by M. Courtol, an official
viper killer in the prefecture of Haute,
Loire, France. M. Courtol has grown
gray as well as expert in this peculiar
service. 1t is estimated that he kills
on an average of 5000 vipers a year.
His remuneration is 5 cents a head for
each one slain, and he manages to
make quite a comfortable living out
of his unique and dangerous employ
ment. When about the work he may
be seen attired in n hunters suit,
made of the skins OF the snakes he
has captured. His evening dress and
court attire is also cut out of the
snakes skins, and is patterned after
the style of Louis XIV. His head is
crowned with a gorgeous cap, fash
toned from the same extraordinary
material.-Chicago Record-Herald.

roads in the valleys of the reserva-
ton, and are considering a plan for
searchlights over the falls and peaks;
all so much to the distaste of the

made and if the commissioners go on
with it an effort will be made to get
the Yosemite out of the local politi-
clans hands and into those of the

Just how long pensions may con-
tinue illustrated by the fact that there
are still four widows Of revolutionary
soldiers on the rolls. According to
the same continuation and considering
the average of life increasing, this gov
eminent may be paying pensions on
account of the Spanish war as late as
2018. It will not be for any lack OF
applications, which already number
1900, of which nearly 1000 have been
granted. And the revolutionary wards
are not the only ones with long lives,
for within the past year two widows of
the war of 1912 and 325 widows of the
Mexican war were added to the list.

The act Of union between Sweden
and Norway provides that the king
shall spend part of the year in Nor
way. This time has usually been linn
tied. A change in this respect, is now
contemplated, and it is proposed on
stitutionally to compel the king to
spend the same length of time in Nor
way as in SWeden-say in one, two or
three years at a time in each country.
1t is believed that this measure, if
adopted, will render the monarchy
more popular with the N~orwegians,
who are longing to see the throne OF
King Haaken and King Sverne rails
ed again on the soil of Norway.
