Rich From Sunflowers.

"Ten years ago" says the Indian
apolis News, John Mcdonald, a
shrewd farmer Of Clark county, Indi-
ana, heard that sunAower seed was
crop on which money could be made.
At that time even an inferior article
paid six to seven cents a pound, and
he could raise from 600 to 700 pounds
an acre. John said nothing and plant
ed sunfowers. His neighbors laughed
and told him he ought to go to Kan.
sas, but he kept on planting, and from
a poor renter be became a comforta.
bly, situated man and has since re-
tired. Then the neighbors stopped
laughing and also planted sunhowers,
and today the townships Of Bethle.
hem, Owen and Washington have at
least 900 acres under cultivation.
But Mcdonald got the cream Of the
market, for now sunhower seed is
worth only from two and a-half to four
cents pound, according to quality.
Still, it pays better than wheat or
corn. This commercial sunhower
bears only one blossom, and that a
very large one, sometimes yielding a
quarter peck of seed. A New York
firm handles most Of the crop. Clark
county-and perhaps no other-slsO
raises spelt, grain much like wheat,
but with a husk which takes special
milling to remove. 1t makes finer
-four than wheat, more delicate in col
or, more delicious in taste and more
nourishing."

NEW VOL. 37.---NO. 2.
The Nerve Limit of the Engineer.

Cleveland Moffett tells in the Octo-
Der st. Nicholas the story of the loco
motive driver. There followed some
talk about fast runs, and all agreed
that for out-and-out excitement there
is nothing in railrOading to equal
man s sensations in one Of these mad
bursts Of speed that are ventured up
on now and then by locomotives in
record-breaking trials. The heart
never pounds with apprehension in a
real accident as it does through i'm
minent fear of an accident. And so
great is the nerve strain and brain
strain upon the men who drive our or
dinary flyers that three hours at a
stretch is as much as the stancbest en-
ginssr can endure running at so or 60
miles an hour. And the same is true
of fremen, and, indeed, of locomotives,
so that the fast mail and express SER
vice between New York and Chicago
requires relays of IA engine, and IA
engineers and IA fremsn for single
round trip of a single train. And
many time, it appears, when an en-
gineer has faced the rush Of one of
these terrible yers to the end of his re-
lay-say $50 miles--you will sometimes
see him climb down from the cab
weak and unstrung. He has been un-
der tension there at the throttle like
that Of an athlete springing from the
high trapeze, or that of pilot as he
turns his craft into some furious rap
ids, only his tension has lasted for
hours. What wonder, then, that
three days are counted full weeks
work for the men who drive such
trains as the Empire State Express !
Every alternate day they must spend
in resting, and ever so it is only the
flower of company's engineers who
can stand the strain at all
80 you see, said one Of the off,
cials, "the problem of higher speeds
than we have at present involves more
than boiler power and strength OF ma
chinery and the swiftness Of turning
wheels; it involves the question OF
human endurance. We can build en-
gines that will run $50 miles an hour,
but where shall we find the men to
drive them? Already we have near
ly reached the limit of what the eyes
and nerves will endure. Think we'll
have to find new race Of men 10 ham
die these locomotives of the future
that they talk SO much about.

Bishop McCabe and the Hero OF Santiago.

When Bishop McCabe and his wife
were in Montevideo, Uruguay a few
months ago. Admiral Schley's vessel,
the Chicago, was anchored there. The
Admiral invited the Bishop to dine
with him on the vessel and deliver bis
lecture, THE Bright Side Of Life in
Libby Prison, to the marines. Four
hundred and fifty marines, with 25
officers from the Albany, another ves-
sci anchored near, assembled to hear
the lecture. At it's close the Bishop
exhorted the boys to give their hearts
to Jesus, saying: "You admire hero
ism; who was greater hero than the
Lord Jesus Christi You admire cour-
age who was more courageous than
Jesus when he took up the heavy
cross and carried il TO Calvary" At
its close Admiral schley threw his
arms around Bishop McCabe and said,
almost thou persuadest me TO be
Christian" and the Bishop said, "You
must be a Christian, or you could not
have given expression to that noble
sentiment after the battle Of Santiago.
"'There is glory enough to go around. ;"
The Admiral said further, 1T seems
wonderful to me that God should se.
lect me, the defendant Of the Hugue-
nots. who were driven from France
for their religious faith, TO execute his
retribution on the Spanish nation. =

Old Letter From Capt. Kidd.

A letter over 200 years old from
Captain Kidd, the notorious pirate
chief, to John Bailey, of New York,
which from evidence contained in it is
believed to be genuine by those to
whom il has become an heirloom, has
been deposited for safe keeping with
other papers in the office of the Record
Commissioners of Providence, R. |,
The letter is the property Of Ed
ward Field, descendent OF the War
ner family. which was among the first
to settle in what is now the town of
Warick. 1t was found among family
papers. Apparently the communica-
tion was written after the capture Of
Captain Kidd. 1t is dated Boston,
l7O0-l, and says in part
al fear we are in bad situation.
We are taken for pirates, and you
must come TO Boston as soon as you
get this; there is no one can depend
upon. If l do not see you will tell
you where my money is. 1t is buried
on Island in Boston har-
Dor. On the . Island are
two chests containing from Gl5,0O0to
100000 (about $4,000 to $l00,0oO
in money, jewels and diamonds. They
are buried al bout four feet, with a fiat
stone on them and pile of stone near
by. THERE'S no one that knows where
it is but me. 1t is about
up the hillside.
Dent fail to come and see me as
soon ss you get this. If | am gone 10
England be there as soon as possible.
Secure the money and diamonds be-
fore you come, as money will do u
great deal for us. "
The letter contains much more de-
tail and refers to many incidents
which have been found TO be historic.
ally correct. The words which would
tell exactly where the treasure is bur
led are omitted and their places are
taken by crosses 1t is considered
likely that along with this letter went
another in which was given the key to
the omitted portions.

Cat Cuts off Nlagara,s Power.

A cat was the cause Of great deal
Of trouble to the International Trac-
ton Company and the Niagara Falls
Power Company the other night. Puss
climbed a trolley pole on the Buffalo
and Lockport electric railway at Hof-
man, a small hamlet west Of Lockport,
and tried to walk on feed wire. Her
tail touched the parallel wire that
carried the current back TO Niagara
Falls. There was a fash that could
be seen for miles as the "a, 900 volts
Of electricity passed through her body.
Puss was burned. 10 a crisp. Her
charred body fell across both wires
and didn't drop to the ground. This
short-circuited the current and caused
fuse al the Niagara Falls power
house to be burned out. The power
was Immediately cut of from all the
lines running out Of the power house
1t was two hours before the cause Of
the trouble was located and the char
red remains of the cat removed from
the wire. In the meantime almost all
the electric railways and street light
ing plants in western New York were
without power.

The Federal grand jury at st. Louis
has indicted Daniel Levering, Mis-
souri, farmer, Oh charge Of using the
mails to defraud. Levering's scheme
was a novel one, and his alleged VIC
tins were mostly professors of colleges
thro oughout the country, and collectors.
Bogus Indian relics Of every descrip-
tion-axes, pipes, images and various
other curiosities-were produced be-
fore the jury By witnesses. who said
Levering had told them that he dug
them out of mounds thousands Of years
old, where they had been placed by
Indians. Levering's alleged victims
purchased large numbers Of these
"relics, " paying large prices for them.
The "relics" are in lecture rooms Of
many colleges as exhibits.

"Certainly, we're both here.
ut is said you are the richest man

all your wealth yourself?"
"Up to certain point, yes. After
that-well, money makes money, you
