Born In Brookvllle, Franklin County,
Ind, April 10, 1927, Lew Wallace was
the son of David Wallace, who was
Governor of Indiana in 1887. He was
studying law when the Mexican war
broke out and enlisted in the First In
diana Infantry. After the war he took
up the practice of law in Crawfords-
vile. For four years he served in the
Indiana State Senate. He was a Demo-
crat then, but he left the party shortly
before the war broke out Governor
regiments In response to Lincoln's call
for volunteers, which he did, and went
to the front as Colonel of one of them,
which he himself uniformed. He was
speedily promoted to brigadier gener-
alship and commanded the center wing
Of the army at Fort Donaldson. So con
spicuously did his ability shine on this
occasion that he was promoted to a
major generalship and commanded a
division at Shiloh and Corinth. He
saved Cincinnati from capture by Gen.
Kirby Smith in 1868. With $500 men
he intercepted the march of Gen. Jubal
EARLY. who had $4,000 men, preventing
his entrance into Washington, and in
July, 1864, fought the battle of Monoc-
aey, which resulted in a Union defeat.
Gen. Halleck promptly relieved Wallace
of the command of the Eighth Army
Corps but he was reinstated by order
of Gen. Grant. who declared that Wal
laoe's generalship at Monocacy was be-
yond criticism. He was one of the men,
bers of the court that tried the assas-
sins of President Lincoln. He was
Governor of Utah from 1873 to 1881,
and in 1881 was appointed minister to
Turkey. While in Constantinople he
became intimate with the Sultan, and
studied Turkish character After his
return from Constantinople Gen. Wal
lace resumed his residence at Craw-
louisville.

Noisy Sunbeams.

Fill a glass vessel with lampblack,
colored silk or worsted. Focus the rays
of the sun in a lens-that Is, hold a
magnifying glass so that the rays pass
through it before they fall on the glass
vessel Then revolye in the light be-
tween the lens and the vessel, a disk
with an opening or slit in 1t, so that
the light is alternately falling on the
vessel and being shut out Now listen,
and you will hear a noise when the
light passes through the slit, but there
will be silence when 1t is shut out. You
must place your ear close to the glass,
holding the silk or other substance.
Another experiment Is to use a prism
instead of an ordinary lens. This makes
a rainbow, and as the rays pass through
the slit 1t is possible to tell that some
parts of the solar spectrum-as 1t is
called-produce a sound as they fall on
the glass vessel, while other parts have
no effect

duction must have such training that,
whatever changes occur, he can throw his
faculties efficiently into the solving
newly arising problems. This is not more
necessary in the education of chemical
engineers than in the education of civil,
mechanical or electrical engineers. The
world and the processes of existence ire
created ON a plan which expresses itself
TO the student in mathematics. The econ
omies of manufacture. whether it be a
steam engine, a Dynamo bridge, or
piece of glue, are to be worked out first
by the mathematician. What he finds IS
true in theory will ultimately work in
practice, and so the culture OF an engi-
neer Is of the sort which develops not
only the inventive faculties tat the logical
faculties, so-called.
America is not likely TO have too
many technical schools. for our place in

at a great expense. 1t now costs 1l12
cents to take a bushel of wheat from the
Missouri river to Liverpool. Within thir-
ty months, by reason of improved road
beds, lighter grades, fewer curves, heay-
Ter iron and larger locomotives, single
engine will haul not seventeen tons as
formerly, but 1000 tons, from the Mis-
souri, river to the Atlantic ocean, where 1t
will be loaded from the car direct to the
ships, carrying not 1000, but $4,000 tons.
The saving In expense of transporta-
ton and handling and water rates will
insure the producer better prices and the
consumer cheaper food. Our people all
understand this and they are both con-
tented and happy. They are building bet
ter houses, they are planning better
schools, they are putting more pianos in
their parlors, more books on their shelves,
more sunshine in their homes, and they
are advancing the prices of their farms.
These can now be rented for cash and
will pay a better income for twice their
market value than government bonds at
current quotations.

his objection to titles and elected to

Lord Tennyson, when first approach

on the ground that his son would in

citizens of other countries, whether the
victim be a sovereign or the humblest OF
workmen. There is no use in endeayor-
ing to find out what particular plot is
brewing, and advising the police OF
the country on which the blow IS to ran.
| So far as countries like the United States
are concerned, the only thing that can be
done is to strengthen the power of the
executive over aliens, and-as Is usually
the case in the United States-over for
eigners who have acquired nationality.
Without any process of extradition, 1
should be in favor OF arming the execu-
tive with power to ship off any alien. in
regard to whom there Is reasonable
ground for believing that he is an anarch-
list. and to land him in the land of his
birth, due notice having been given to the
authorities there of his arrival. Beyond
this, | would not go one step. If any
citizen of a country publicly advocates
crime, he Is amenable to the law. But
it is often doubtful policy to crafty him
by putting the law in force. Ii certain
citizens of country do associate to-
gether for the promotion of crime, then
also the law can deal with them If this
be deemed expedient.

of the world. A single pine, perfect in
form and foliage, has recently sold for
$1,000. 1t is six feet high and alleged
to be $50 years Old. 1t has long been
supposed that the process by which
Japanese gardeners succeeded in
dwaring forest trees was long and
costly one 1t Is now said that it is a
simple process, and that anyone can do
the trick. The following directions are
given for producing a miniature oak
tree:
Take an orange and scoop out the
pulp. Fill the interior with rich mold
and plant an acorn in the center Of il,
leaving the hole in the riud for Ii TO
sprout through. Put II in a sunny place
and water it frequently. Soon after the
first shoots have appeared the roots be-
gin to break through the orange skin.
Take sharp knife and shave these off
carefully and keep them shaved. The
tree will grow about five or six inches
high and then stop. In year ii will be
perfect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow the orange skin
should be vanished over and imbedded
