MAC4RONI WHEAT.

The discovery that this country is able to raise It's own maearoni wheat sticks another feather in the cap of Yankee Doodle. There has been an impression for many years that the soil and eli
 mate of this country are not adapted to the cultivation of the more hardy va- rieties of wheat that are used in the
 manufacture of macaroni. Secretary
 Wilson is now able to demonstrate that
 wheat on the sem-arid plains of the
 West to supply all the macaroni that is
 consumed in this country. A circular
 which is about to be issued from the
 department embodies the results of ex-
 tended investigation on the part of
 Mark Alfred Carleton, government ce-
 realist, who spent much time in Rus-' sia, where a good portion of the worlds crop of macaroni wheat is raised. He found the soil of the Russian region where this wheat Is raised very similar to the alkaline soil of our great semi arid plains. The climates are also re- markedly similar. This investigation in Russia was supplemented by practi- cal tests with Russian macaroni wheats In this country, from which 1t has been found that these wheats may be raised in the Dakotas, Utah, Kansas, Cobra do, Texas, Idaho, Nevada and Califor- mia. As result of these Investigations American millers are now putting in for grinding Russian wheat.
 As about 15,00O, 900 pounds of macaro- nj are imported to this country every year the importance of being able to make our supply here with wheat grown here is plain.

MAKING IDLE WATER WORK.

| What can be done by the electrical
 transmission of cheaply produced pow
 CT is beginning to be comprehended, and
 some important developments in that line may soon be expected, including
 at least one in this State. One of the | big schemes on foot Is that of group of scientists and capitalists who have | begun work on an immense plant at Massena, New York, which will utilize part of the great water power of the Long Sault rapids of the St. Lawrence river plant as large and quite as re-
 markable as that at Niagara Falls. The engineering problem at Messena Is Falls The Niagara plant uses a small column of water of great height, with
 tunnel to carry off the exhausted wa
 ter cut half mile through solid rock.
 At Massena, which Is at the head of
 the Long Sault rapids, the Grasse river
 parallels the St. Lawrence, three miles
 away, flowing into the larger river be-
 low. But the level of the Grasse is for
 ty feet lower than that of the St. Law renee at Massena so that with canal
 three miles long there is ample water power and a costless means of dispds- ing of the waste. More than that, the Ora sse river would be made navigable from its mouth to the end of the canal, which will be a ship canal, and lock at the dam would provide means for getting around the Long Sault rapids without using the Canadian canals
 At Mysore, India, water power is con- verted into electric energy, transmitted one hundred miles and then again transformed into compressed air power. When all the water power of the world is made to work in some such way the coal problem may not look so pressing.

the active property of the extract can be made from other substances at a cost of about $2 per gallon. The ar tflcial compound is chemically identi- cal with the vanillin found in the true vanilla extract, and therefore has come to be used extensively by manufactur- CTS and dealers. It has been made for commercial purposes from turpentlne, but more satisfactory results are ob- tained from oil of cloves or benzoic acid, and it is now extracted chiefly from these. It is considered harmless when taken in small quantities, and has been found to possess certain medicinal properties. Experiments on frogs with large quantities have, how ever, caused spinal convulsions.
 This is certainly wicked and adul- terated generation, in which about the purest thing seems to be that quality known as gall"

THOUGHT AND ELEC1R1CITT.

| 4 ~ It LLlLCk For long time 1t has been generally believed that short people couldn't add
 to their stature by taking thought, but it is now asserted that by taking thought and electricity the trick can be done It appears that some of the French women have concluded that
 they are not as tall as they ought 10
 be in order to look as they want to look, and as some of the English and United
 States women look. A. French pro- lessor has been found, or has found himself, who promises to remedy this defect. He claims to have a process by which he can supply the demand for increased stature, even though the cub ject may have reached maturity. He treats the ankles, knees and spine elec- trically, claiming that the osseous mat ter at the joints Is thereby expanded and the growth of the bones stimu- lated. He claims he can add two-tlfths of an inch per month during six months treatment. The professor has a large number of petite patients al- ready.
 Why not? The professor knows good thing when he sees it, and if his patients don't happen to grow tall as fast as they want to he can tell them that they must continue to be patient and patients until his system has had time to do it's perfect work.
