HAD the late Bill Nye confined his
genius as a humorist to advertising
writing he would have doubtless at
tanned even greater success than he
did in the literary field. Here is q
sample OF what he could do in the ad-
vertising line when he wanted to dis
pose of a COW. Owing to i'll health, /
will sell at my residence in township
10, range -. according to government
survey, one plush raspberry colored
COW, aged s years. She is good
mixer and is not afraid of the cars or
anything else. She is of undaunted
courage and gives milk frequently.
To a man who does not fear death in
any form she would be a great boon.
She is very much attached to her
house at present by stay chain, but
she will be sold to anyone who will
agree to use her right. She is one
fourth shorthorn and three -fourths
hyena. | will throw in a double bar

Two Famous Decisions.

The decision Of the United States
Supreme Court in the Porto Rico case
sustaining the proposition that the
constitution does not follow the flag
that conquered, or acquired, countries
may be governed by Congress untram-
melled by constitutional limitations,
will rank in history with the famous
"Dred Scott" decision of March 6,
1857, which held that the negro chad
no right which the white man was
bound to respect" There is consid.
erable similarity in the two decisions
from a political point of view. The
"Dred Scott" decision was upheld by
the democratic administration-the
in control of the pro.slavery oligarchy
because it was the decision of the
United States Supreme Court. and
was opposed by the Republican party
on the ground that it was intrinsically
wrong. The latest decision is upheld
by the Republican administration.
now in absolute control of a money
oligarchy, which has made no effort to
conceal its desire for such decision,
and is opposed by the Democratic
party because it is intrinsically, NOR
ally and constitutionally wrong. The
decision OF 1857 was reversed by the
people when they awoke to its enor-
nifty, and that of 1901 will meet with
similar reversal just as soon as its
full meaning dawns upon the minds
OF liberty-loving American citizens.
The only difference that will be dis
covered in the righting of the latter
wrong, will be the minor matter OF the
transposition OF the political parties
on the issue. An oligarchy may gain
control OF any party, but that party
cannot long remain in the majority in
the United States,

A SeIf.PropelIins Boat.

A swimming boat, with fins and
seli-propelling, is nautical curiosity
now in evidence off the Italian coast
in the Bay of Naples.
The utilization of the play of the
waves as a source of motive power is
not in the least new conceit, and nu-
merous have been the attempts made
by man with that end in view. The
human swimmer, who moves the wa
ter and thus forces it to bear him
along, is an example.
This idea has now been carried to
an extreme limit by Secretary Linden
Of the geological station at Naples,
who has exploited it for the purpose
of moving boats.
Mr.. Linden's occupation bringing
him into close and constant commup-
ication with fishes, he conceived the
idea that the same principle employed
by the fish in traversing the water
might be successfully applied to boats,
simply by adding to each end of the
boat elastic plates, which are attached
by some elastic material to the boat
beneath the water level. The upward
and downward motion OF the waves
press with every movement upon the
plates, which then, by means of their
elasticity, exert a backward movement
upon the water, which finds its ex-
preston in the propulsion of the ves-
sci.
The Linden boat has a swimmer"
at each end composed OF four steel
plates about Is inches long and about
8 inches broad and 60 inches in thick
ness. The space between the steel
plates is spanned by an elastic web
whereby the surface OF the swimmer
