Embrace.

Miss Carrie Hugin, of GAINESVILLE,
Wis, was so tightly Rugged by her
lover the other evening that the serv-
ices of local physician were neces.
sary to release her overlapped ribs.
The young woman is we'll known and
popular here and her case has at
tracted considerable attention from a
medical standpoint.
Miss Hugin and her lover had been
out walking. On reaching home they
spent considerable time talking on
the shady porch. This was at ten
o'clock in the evening.
Before his departure for home the
strong admirer grasped his sweetheart
in his arms and with mighty force EN-
braced her. Miss Hugin was unable to
sleep that night on account of exces-
sive pains in her side, and in the morn
ing she consulted a physician, who
found that her lower ribs had become
interlocked. Close examination failed
to reveal any fractures. Miss Hugin
after considerable hesitation and ques-
tioning revealed the cause of her in.

When II reached it's dock the other

TESLA BUYS BIG TRACT.
The Electrical Wizard to Establish
an Immense Plant on Long
Island.

One of the most important under
takings ever entered upon in Long
Island is the establishment of the
power and signal plant of Nikola Tes-
In, the Austrian electrical wizard of
worldwide fame. Mr.. Tesla has pur-
chased about $500 acres of land near
Warden Clyffe, comprising a large
stretch of hills and valleys, wooded
bluff and fine beach, where he pro-
poses to establish his great works
from which he will place himself in
communication with the most dis
tant parts of the civilized world.
He has just finished his first build
ing, a one-story brick and iron struc-
ture, "a feet square. A laboratory
and other bnildings-ar -also-te-be
erected and much of the plant is to
be completed this month. Two 15-
horse power boilers and a $50 horse
power engine are now being installed
and the largest dynamo ever made, a
machine of his own design. The cur
rent generated will be forced into re-
ceptacles of the inventors own de-
signing and thence into the earth.
Mr. Tesla proposes, through the
earth as a conductor, to send mes
sages to all parts of the world. Be-
sides putting into effect his system of
wireless telegraphy the inventor
hopes to soon give the world COM
mefeial commodity, new system of
illumination by diffused light.

DIG INTO A PALACE.
German Scientists Discover Resi-
dence of King Nebuchadnezzar.
square Courtyard Uncovered whose
Walls Are Covered with Glazed
Tiles ArtistlcalIy Ornamented
with Flowers and Traeery.

DIR. Koldevey has sent to Berlin a
further report about the progress OF
the excavations he and his German
colleagues are carrying on at the sup
posed site of Nebuchadnezzar's pal
ace in ancient Babylon. He says he
has discovered in the south quarter
of the town square courtyard sur
rounded by walls, one of which is a
tine piece of architecture.
The wall is faced with glazed tiles,
which seem to have wonderfully
withstood the ravages of time. and
are artistically ornamented with
lowers and tracery. Many of the
tiles have fallen out of their places
to the ground, and they have had 10
be carefully pieced together. This
had been successfully done, and the
result shows beautiful design.
The design is now on the way to Ger
many.
In the courtyard were also found
several bricks, evidently part of a
mosaic pavement, the design of which
was composed of enamels and glass
raised work. as well as collins, coins,
fragments of stone inscriptions, and
q broad slab, on which were depicted
picture of the Babylonian idea of
hell.
DR.. Koldevey considers the recent
hnds as fully proving that this part
OF the city contained what was doubt
less the finest of the Babylonian pal
aces, and consequently the palace of
Nebuchadnezzar.
Meanwhile excavations are being
carried on in the business quarter of
old Babylon. where in 1874 the en-
tire business documents of the Baby
lonish firm "Egibi & Son"-possibly
the Oldest house of business "of
which the world holds record" to use
Tennyson's phrase--were dug out by

President Roosevelt has put damp

AMERICAN WORKMEN
German Paper Declares That They
Excel Those of Europe.
This Given as the Reason Why the
United States Stands Mt the Head
of the Nations In Industrial
Achievements.

The Frankfurter Zeitung contains
long article under the caption an
iustrial Teaching in the United
States" 1t has for its text treatise
oy Prof. Higgins. Technical Educa-
lion in the United States" which re-
Gently was read before the Society Of
American Engineers.
The article concludes as follows:
The steadily increasing industrial
power of this nation 1.-THE United
States) is an immediate result of this
technical education, which is a model
one, for it is no small matter to edu-
cate a really useful workman who
does his duty not only willingly and
carefully, but at the same time en-
ploys his intellect constantly in or
der TO increase the quality and guam
ity of his products.
Only in this way can IL he eX-
planned that the workmen, ut a daily
wage of from three to four dollars,
work still cheaper than European la
borers at from four to five marks per
day COS cents to s1.20), for it is obvi-
Gus that the manifold superiority of
American production is due to the in
diligently conceived and carefully
constructed machines.
IF, in addition, il is considered
that the greatest part of all inven-
tions and improvements is made by
common workmen. one is forced to
the conclusion that the Americans
owe the progress and power of their
industries to the perfect technical ed
ucation of the workmen and fore
men.
added to this is that the .Ameri-
can workman does all which he is
capable of doing, for he knows well
that his efforts will always be duly
compensated, and that the foreman
under whom he works possesses the
knowledge and ability to Judge of his
value, and that the engineer or the
manager of the factory will always
extend his help to accomplish the de-
sired end.
"Out of this phalanx OF industrious
and intelligent workmen emanate the
inventors and constructors, foremen,
engineers and industrials, who, with
pride, remember their former activ-
ity as workmen.
TO these racial characteristics.
supported and encouraged by excel
lent technical education, the United
States owes its industrial pros
peritY."

ELECTRIC POWER IN SWEDEN.
Prospect for Its General Adoption rs
Railroad Motive Power in Near
Future Is Good.

Advices from Stockholm state that
the time is not far distant when the
railroads of Sweden will be operated by
electricity. As is well known, Sweden
possesses much water power in the
falls and rapids of her rivers, and for
a long time the idea has prevailed to
utilize their power in a greater meas
ure than heretofore, especially for
railroads.
One Of the foremost engineers of
Sweden has prepared an estimate of
power required to operate all the
Swedish railroads. comprising about
1900 miles, and he calculates it at a.
600 horse power, which could be pro-
cured easily.
1t is his plan to erect 10 central sta
tions of 5000 horse power each, dis
tributed over the country. The cost
would be about 100000 Of Swedish
crowns (about $4,000, 000) which
amount, in consequence of the result
ing decrease of operating expenses,
would be good investment.
