off the coarse outer part of the skin.
Then razor was employed to slice
off the tender part that was to be
transferred to the wounded elephant.
This was taken off in strips about six
inches long and one inch wide. The
strips were pressed upon the wounded
surface and held down by great bands
Of plaster. In exactly six days the new
skin was found by the doctors to be
firmly adherlng to Bellies shoulder.
Another elephant was then called in,
and some pieces of his skin were re-
moved in the manner already de-
scribed. BY this time the raw sur
face was 80 greatly reduced in size
that Belle began to show signs Of re-
lief from her worst symptoms. Ger
tain hopes of her recovery were en-
tertained from that time. Every week
new elephant will be called upon to
yield up somo of his skin for the sake
of his suffering sister This will be
continued until the wound is entirely
covered with skin. The elephants
make the sacrifice in a cheerful spirit,
and 1t is calculated that fifteen will be
required before matters are set right.
It is confidently expected that this
operation will prove an epoch-making
triumph in the history Of pachyderma-
tous dermatology.- Express.

English Submarine Des-
troyer Steered by Use
of Marconi System =.

The explosive charge and the driving
engines are placed in the same post
tions, but the gyroscope, the most ex-
pensive piece of mechanism, is dis
pensed with. In its place is substituted
a delicate electrical apparatus for ac-
tuating the rudder.
The apparatus upon the shore or
battleship for the transmission Of the
electrical waves to the travelling tor
pedo comprises a powerful induction
coil and a small handwheel, reversible
in either direction. This the officer
manipulates in the same manner as
the steering wheel of a vessel, the tor
pedo turning to the right or left ac-
cording to the movements Of the
wheel
The celebrity and facility with which
the torpedo answers the movements Of
the helm, Notwithstanding its dis
tance from the transmitter, are re-
markable.
It was dispatched straight out TO
sea, continuing in a straight line until
it had Travelled 200 yards, which point
was the maximum range over which
the ether waves could be transmitted
in this particular instance. It then
simply clrcled round and round until
its propelling power was exhausted.
The range over which the ether waves
may be transmitted simply depends
upon the intensity Of the electric cur
rent, and since Marconi can establish
communication over 80 miles, torpe-
does might be manipulated at the same
distance.
When the projectlle enters the water
from the tube a float is detached, and
this serves the same purpose as Mar
conis high mast.

A WIRELESS
TORPEDO s~ >.

For some time experiments have
been carried out with a new torpedo
invented by a young electrician Mr..
Cecil Varicas of Weymouth, England.
The most salient characteristic of this
new weapon is that its passage and
course through the water can be di-
rected and controlled either from the
shore or the coming tower of battle
ship. AS is we'll known, the course Of
the present Whitehead torpedo is
maintained by a wonderfully complex
appliance known as the gyroscope,
fitted within the weapon. The cost Of
the Whitehead torpedo is about $10.-
900, and although its destructive quail
tiles are so tremendous, yet its chances
of striking the target are very remote,
especially if the object at which it is
fired happens to be moving If it
should miss the target the projectile
simply continues on it's journey until
fits propelling force is exhausted, when
it drifts at the mercy Of the waves.
But the difficulty has, it Is believed,
at last been surmounted by the inven-
tion of Mr.. Varicas. By means OF his
device the torpedo, while travelling at
express speed through the water, and
several hundreds Of feet away from
the point of discharge, without any
wire or other connection, may be con-
trolled as expeditiously and as easily
as if an operator were On board to
manipulate its diminutive rudder. How
is this accomplished? Simply by means
of wireless telegraphy.
Externally the torpedo is exactly the
same as the Whitehead pr)jectile. The
dimensions are precisely the same, and
the propeller is of equal caliber. The
interior. however is vastly different.

The custom of showering bridal
couples with rice Is as old as the
monumental hills. 1t is sometimes at
tended with disagreeable results, but
is still persisted in at most matrimo-
nial functions. An improvement upon
this custom which seems likely and
ought to become popular was observed
at a pretty wedding celebrated at Lake
Geneva just before the close OF the
cutting season The piazzas and lawn
Of the brides home were beautifully
decorated with hydrangeas, which the
extensive garden of the brides home
furnished in unusual profuslon. The
altar arranged at one end of the par
lor was beautifully decorated and
powered with the same blooms
mingled with ferns and evergreens'
Bunches Of the blossoms stood In
large Jars and vases in the spacious
hail and banked the great fireplace.
When the newly welded pair started
away in the late afternoon the guests
lined the way from the house to the
entrance gate Of the grounds, everyone
nrovided with hydrangeas, and
through this lane Of pelting flowers
the bridal carriage was driven. It
was a poetic and picturesque change
from the usual rice shower,-Chicago

POliteneSS
Made to Paw

It pays to be polite even to the hum
blest of mortals. From a sordid stand
point courtesy is the best policy and
besides the satisfaction one derives
from its exercise is sufficient recon-
pense in itself. Not infrequently an
act of politeness serves as a magic key
to unlock the doors that lead to fame
and fortune. 1t is averred that one of
the most eminent French statesmen of
to-day, NJ. Delcasse, owes his brilliant
career to a simple act of politeness
to a lady. He began his working life
as a very obscure and poorly paid
school teacher and won Gambetta's
favor by the grace and courtesy with
which he presented him with hamper
of Ariege beans, Of which the great
statesman was very fond. This some
what prosaic incident was the first
turning point in young Delcasse's for
tune. Gambetta invited him to dinner
and was so pleased with his intelli-
gence that he procured for him the
post Of private secretary to a very
wealthy deputy. One day when the
secretary was travelling by train with
the deputy and his wife he observed
that the lady was much annoyed by
an illbred passenger who persisted in
smoking in her presence. NJ. Del
casses action was enthusiastically
prompt Without a word he seized the
mans cigar and threw It out Of the
window. For this act Of courtesy the

Duke of Cornwall and York Is an In

The Duke Of Cornwall and York,
heir to the British throne, who is visit
ing Canada, is a tremendous smoker.
The royal yacht Ophir on which the
duke and his suite are travelling, was
not considered large enough to con-
vey a sufficient supply Of smokes, ,"
and so special shipments of the choic-
est cigars have been following from
port to port to replenlsh the depleted
stock. Many of these, like the wines
similarly shipped have undoubtedly
been used in entertaining visitors but
It is stated that the duke himself has
burned up an astonishingly large num-

News dispatches recently contained
the intelligence that among the cargo
lost on the wrecked steamer Lusitania,
which ran on the rocks on the east
coast Of Newfoundland, were 10000 Of
The highest-class cigars, which had
been shipped from London for the
Duke Of York's use in Canada. These
were packed in hermetically-sea
cases, and were consigned to the cit
Rdel at Quebec, there to await the ar
rival Of the Ophir. Each cigar was
valued at 73 cents.
1t is now stated in private advices,
that some 1000 Of these costly cigars
have been rescued from the hull OF the
Lusitania, and will be saved. So choice
were the cigars that the cases in which

Divers were at work searching fer
the cigars for upward Of 10 weeks be-
fore they were recovered. About 5000
were said to have been washed out Of
the wreck and lost. Those recovered
are said to have been in almost perfect
condition, with such care had they
been sealed in their cases. Meanwhile,
however, the dukes cigar order had

The Hand Separator

The hand separator is neither a
toy nor musical instrument, but
is just as much a farm implement
as Irvine binder. If l had to get
along without ore or the other,
would let the binder go and keep
the separator. The separator is
used twice every day in the year,
while most of our farm machinery
is laying around three-fourths of
the time. | have never bought a
farm implement that paid as high
a dividend on the investment as
the hand separator.

and not because of any sentiment

attached, Readers of the Review
and Bulletin will remember that
some time ago Mr.. C. P. Harvey
wrote communication to the DEM
ocratic papers of the county urging
the primary system. This article
was copied in the Review with COM
ment that it would not be adopted
as the gang that now runs democra-
cy does not wish to take any chanc-
es of losing their grip on the
party management. The Bulletin
justified the Reviews comments
by objecting vigorously to the pri-
mary system. 1t said it was rep
publican scheme to disrupt demo-
cracy, that the primary system did
not commend itself to the good
sense of thinking party workers and
accused the writer, Mr.. Harvey,
indirectly of being untrue to the
democratic party because he had
had the temerity to advocate such
a thing. This was where the
"ready print got in its deadly
work. The "ready print" is &C
customed to give its democratic
papers desc of"The Commoner"
every week. 1t is supposed that
whatever Bryan says, editorlally
or otherwise, is a good democratic
doctrine. Thus it happened that
while the. Romans side of the Bull
letln was laundering away against
those democrats who were forming
the treacherous habit of thinking
for themselves, the "ready print"
side was quoting Bryan to the eff
feet that the primary system was
the only one to be adopted. Mr..
organs argument was much strong
er than the one made by Mr.. Harv-
ey. He pointed out how bosses and
bossism would creep into any party
under the caucus and convention
plan and asserted that the only
way in which democracy might. be
kept pure and undehled was by
the adoption of the primary system
Any one interested can find this
article in the files of the Bulletin
during the last few weeks. The
questions now arises, who is the
bad democrat, the Bulletin which
opposes Bryan or Mr.. Harvey who
agrees with him? Is Mr.. Bryan also
in league with the republicans as
the Bulletin hints that Mr.. Harvey
is? The Bulletin should explain.
| The fact is that instead of being
organ of thoughtfulness, an instru-
ment through which the best
thought of the democrats can find
expression, it is an organ to supp
ress thought. Every democrat who
dares to think is branded as trait
or. The Bulletin has no politics
save to perpetuate gang of Office
holders and effice seekers who play
democracy as winning card with
which to mislead the people. 1t
dares not discuss party politics or
public questions. 1t spends its time
in lauding few who support it, in
denouncing those who do not
"knuckle under" to these few and
in rewriting so-called smart squlbs
from other papers.

lips presence, and after showing
it to him | read it to him signature
and all, and told him would like
to publish it that day. He said
all right, and the statement was
published exactly as o. KID by
Mr.. Phillips"
This is the case as it stands to-
day, and it would appear that the
democratic candidate has COM
mitted series of blunders and
been found guilty of a series of
falsehoods unequalled in the
history of Iowa politics.
First, he committed the foolish
error of criticising the acts of the
convention which had made him its
nominee and plainly stated that he
was not in sympathy with the sill
yer men, of his own party.
Second, seeing that he had
blundered he deliberately gave a
wrong impression to his friends on
the Ottumwa Courier, who were
ready to stand by him, by stating
that the interview was a sfake."
Third, he followed this by allow
ing the Courier to print a signed
statement to the effect that the in
terview was false and never took
place.
Fourth, he next had printed a
signed statement in the Hawkeye
stating that the interview was
genuine and giving the lie to his
friends of the Courier.
This is the record. 1t may be
considered good political ethics to
lie to your enemies. Even that is
very questionable, but to lie to
ones friends, to entrap those who
would assists in the lowest depths
to which a man can descend. We
would like to hear from the Bulle-
tin on this matter. 1t will be a
matter of curiosity to see what ex-
cuse the Bulletin can invent for
this series of plain unvarnished
falsehoods told by the democratic
candidate for governor. 1t would
be disgrace to Iowa if such a
man came within 100, 900 of an
election, his candidacy is a dis
grace to the democratic party,
which thought at least that it was
nominating an honest man. The
leaders of that party should de-
mand Mr.. Phillips resignation. If
Mr.. Phillips was bound to try to
lie his way out of the unfortunate
interview, he should have had the
courage to stand by his lie and not
have tried to palm it off on those
who tried to stand his friends.
