attract instant attention. He speaks
more than half dozen languages with
huency, although pronouncing with a
slight foreign accent, and his quick
speech attracts and pleases the ear.
Born Of humble parents in a Ser
Wan village about 35 years ago, Tesla
has climbed the ladder of fame solely
through hard work and ability. His
father was clergyman of the Greek
church. His mother was a woman
with a distinct gift for invention. 1t
was from her that Nickola believes he
received his inventive turn. While a
boy he attended the polytechnic school
at Gratz, where he acquired his first
fascination for mathematics and the
study of electricity. While still quite
young he obtained position as as
sistant in the government telegraph
engineering department at Buda-Pesth.
Later he went to Paris. where his
hard work and studies continued.
Later he crossed the Atlantic and OBJ
tanned employment in one of Thomas
A. Edison's laboratories. His assid-
uousness quickly attr, cted the atten-
ton of Edison, and he received much
valuable aid. Later his studies were
directed along different lines from
those of Edison and the two separated.

all preliminary work will be COM

This will be the last great struggle
for free homes in America. Descrip-
tons of the wealth and fertility of
Oklahoma have excited much interest
in the farms in that part of the coun-
try, and already intending settlers are
camping on the border line waiting
for the President to proclaim the
grounds open. Many young lawyers,
physicians and enterprising business
men may be found who are making
preparations to go to that part of Ok
lahoma Territory to seek their for

way developments in the territory
and the establishment of new banks,

ance companies is advertised; in fact

Young Men for Judges.

In choosing federal judges President
Mckinley has shown an unwillingnsss
to appoint men who have passed the
age OF so, and has even expressed a
preference for men under 40 whenever
available ones can be found. The rea-
sons he gives are sensible and prac-
teal He thinks the judges on the fed
eral bench should be men in the prime
of life when appointed, so as to in
sure physical as well as mental
strength for the duties of the office
and to allow reasonable number of
years of active service before retire
ment. Experience adds to the useful
ness of a judge, and the public is de-
prived of this benefit when the APP
pointee is an old man and his term OF
service short.

Cur Bituminous Fields the Most mr.
tansIve In the World.


The $4,000 square miles OF coal fields
belonging to the United States give 1t
a supply averaging one square mile of
coal field to each Is square miles of
territory. The meaning of this may be
seen when it is remembered that the
ration for Great Britain is 1 to 20 and
for France 1 to 200. With the exception
of anthracite coal beds covering 500
square miles in eastern Pennsylvania,
but averaging so feet in thickness, and
excepting also one OF two small
patches of coal in Colorado and New
Mexico, the above. figures refer to btu
minous or soft coal. The eastern por-
ton of the United States contains five
great coal beds: First, the Appalachian
field, extending from the northern
boundary of Pennsylvania to central
Alabama; second, the Illinois-Indiana
field. which extends into northwestern
Kentucky; third, field $50 miles wide
extending southwark from central
Iowa, covering Indian Territory and
sending one arm across Arkansas and
another in central Texas; fourth, a line
of strata in Texas from the northeast
ern corner of the state to the Rio
Grande river; fifth, the central Michi-
gan field. The western fields do not lie
in large continuous sheets, but consti-
tute small. isolated pockets averaging
rs miles in width and so miles in
length. Such beds may be found
throughout the entire Rocky mountain
region from Montana to New Mexico,
numbering in all 40 distinct beds in
Colorado, Wyoming and the two states
mentioned. To the west of this group
of detached fields we find idaho, hav-
ing four small beds, Washington four,
and California five.

The following letter, dated April g.
1899, to Mr. e. T. Collins Of Bolton. is
published in the life and letters o.
Huxley by his son:
II understand that you ask me what

Speaking for myself land perhaps l
may add for persons of my tempera-
ment), can say without hesitation
that would Just as soon take dose
of arsenic as | would of alcohol, under
such circumstances. Indeed, on the
whole, should think the arsenic SAFER,
less likely to lead to physical ana
moral degradation. 1t would be pet
ter to die outright than to be alcohol

"If a man cannot do brain work

and my clear conviction is the less the
better, though l by no means feel
called upon to forego the comforting
and cheering effect of little.
But for no conceivable considera-
ton would l use it to whip up tired
or sluggish brain; indeed, for me
there is no working time so good as be-
tween breakfast and lunch, when there
is not trace Of alcohol in my COM
position"
From the above we have the follow
ing clear conclusion arrived at by one
of the cleverest and deepest thinkers
Of our day:
That "as a stimulant to the brain
In mental work" it would be better
to take a dose of arsenic than dose
of. alcohol. After the widest expert
ence of various quantities Of alcohol
he thinks ''the less the better"
These opinions should be sufficient tc
induce any one to adopt the practice
of total abstinence, but, alas, for the
frailty Of human nature. even Huxley
did not feel himself called upon to dc

The reunion OF Confederate veterans
which meets in Memphis in the closing
days OF May promises to be the most
successful gathering in the history of
the Confederate organization. The
railroads entering Memphis are alive

do everything possible looking toward
the comfort and pleasure of the old
soldiers and their friends. Every
courtesy will be extended the local
committees in meeting incoming trains
SO that the thousands of strangers
may be taken In hand and assigned to
their quarters. A special rate of one
cent mile has been recommended by
the general passenger agents OF all
lines interested and it is certain that
the Joint passenger association will
authorize the rate.
Fifty thousand dollars will be raised
by the citizens OF Memphis 80 that all
visitors may be assured Of good time.
All of the subscriptions SO far have
been voluntary and one OF the most
notable was that of Robert X. Church,

-DEALINo WITH CRIMES IN
CANADA"

(ANAD ~.
(Trom the Chicago Times-Herald, on
Jan. 18th, 1901
The citizens of the Dominion of Can
ada have Just cause to be proud Of
their record as law-abiding people. The
annual report of the criminal stalls
tics OF the Dominion. which has q
population OF over 5000, 900, shows that
there were only twenty-five indict-
ments for murder in 1899. of which
only two were left without final action.
Eleven OF those indicted were hanged,
nine acquitted and three confined as
insane.
Canada is country of vast proper
tons. It's people are scattered over a
wide stretch of territory, making po-
lice surveillance particularly difficult
and in many districts impossible Yet
q city like New York or Chicago alone
furnishes far greater criminal list
every year than the whole vast stretch
Of territory from Quebec to Vancou-
YER
The Canadians ascrfbe their immu-
nifty from crime to the promptness
with which punishment Is melted out
to offenders. When a man is caught
red-handed In the act OF robbing an
other he is not released on straw bail
by some justice OF the peace from the
slums. to go out and repeat the offense.
Sharp and sure justice is melted out to
criminals of all kinds, the result being
that when the guardians OF the public
peace succeed in bringing thug to
the bar they are seldom called upon to
hunt him second time.
Furthermore. there are few court de-
lays in Canada when criminal is
Brought to book. They have no Dreyer
eases over there. There are no meth
DDS whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month to month and from year to year
or after being convicted, appeal from
one court to another until witnesses
die OF old age or opportunities for cor
ruption can be found.
Nor does this swift method OF treat
ing with wrong-doers in Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defend
themselves. They have all the oppor-
tunities and privileges that our own
laws extend to them. The extent to
shield the guilty is lacking-that is all

that exists In Canada. and this is one
of the many inducements held out for
Americans to settle In the district
