LARGER PENSION AT 1903.
Hiram Cronk the Last Pensioner of
War of 1872

A bill is pending In the House to
increase the pension Of Hiram Cronk,
of Oneida county, New York, who is
said to be the sole survivor Of the
War of 1872, from $12 to S25 per
month. Hiram Cronk is said to be 103
years old. There are now on the PEN
sion rolls 1927 names of widows cred
tied to soldiers of the War of 1872,
but the most of these married men
much older than themselves, and their
hero soldier boys have long since
passed away. Personally Cronk took
no part in the fighting, but he enlist
ed and was ready to meet the British.
AS his services were not required he
was discharged. Next day he was in
Watertown, and in the night was
aroused by the sound of cannonading.
A day later he learned that a British
gunboat had passed and fired few
shots at the defenses of Sackett's Har-
Dor. Cronk went home, but enlisted
again on October s. 1914. He served
40 days as private, and assisted in
building log barracks along the shore
at Sacketts Harbor. He was honor
ably discharged November 16 follow
ing. Hiram Cronk married Polly
Thornton at Western (now Western
ville), Oneida county, March 81, 1925,
and in the years that followed sew
eral children were born to them. He
subsequently received from the Fed
eral government two military bounty
land warrants, one for 120 acres and
one for 40 acres, but sold them. In
1871 he filed a pension claim, but it
was rejected. 1t was reopened in 1878,
and So a month was allowed him. In
1886 his pension was increased to $12
a month. OF late years he has been
quite feeble, and has required a guard
ian. He lives on a little farm (mort-
gagged to almost it's full value), and
his daughter and son-in-law live with
him. The daughter is 70 years old.
Cronk still takes an interest in war
matters and current politics. His eye
sight and hearing are still fairly
good.

Where Science Bcats Nature,

The eye and ear have long been
regarded as marvels of mechanism,
quite the most wonderful things in the
world. But compared with the imple-
ments of the present-day laboratory,
the sensitiveneSs of all human organs
seems gross enough. A Photographic
plate, coupled with q telescope, will
reveal the presence Of millions OF
stars whose light does not affect the
retina in the, least. The microscope,
too, with its revelations of the world
Of the infinitely small, tells us how
crude, after all is this most delicate
of the senses. Indeed, we may liken
it to piano where only single octave
towards the middle, sounds. From the
ultra violet to the lowest reaches of the
spectrum is range of some nine oc-
taves of light variations, Of which,
save for our new mechanical senses, we
should never have been conscious of
but one.
The ear hears little Of what is 60
ing on around us. By means of a mi
crophone the tread Of q fly sounds like
the tramp of cavalry. Our heat sense
Is very vague; We need variation Of
at least one-fifth of degree on q
thermometer to realize any difference
in temperature. Professor Langley's S
little bolometer will note the difference
of millionth of degree. 1t is 200.-
0O0 times as sensitive as our skin.-

New Petroleum Motor.

A new invention is announced,
which. If all that is said Of it be
true, will revolutionize the petroleum
motor. AS is known, engines of the
kind, in their present form, require
the Introduction into the cylinder Of
air, the latter producing with the pc
troleum vapor mixture which is ex-
ploded by the electric spark. Car
bonic acid gas is thrown off through
the escape pipes. The new invention
Is that of chemical process, still kept
secret, by which, it is said, the escape
of gas in question can be utilized pre-
cisely to feed the cylinder. A contin-
uous series OF chemical transforma-
tions, SO to speak, is established. The
twofold result of the process is that
the engine, first, does not deprive the
atmosphere of pure oxygen by appro-
priating the gas for it's own consump-
ton; and, secondly. does ont further
reduce the proportion of pure oxygen
in the air around by throwing out car
bonic acid gas. The invention is
chiefly of Importance for submarine
navigation, and its author is said to
be a naval engineer. Hitherto, sub
marine boats have necessarily been
propelled by electric power. If the
petroleum motor can be improved so
that it does not impoverish the air
around it will be applicable to vessels
of the kind. This will be an obvious
saving of weight and bulk in the en-
gines of submarine boats. Apart from
this consideration the new invention
will obviously effect a considerable
economy of weight in the petroleum
motor itself, an advantage of import
ance for automobilism generally and
in particular for aerial navigation.

Seven Tarthings Capital.

What is the smallest amount for
which a company can legally be
foated? In a lecture, delivered at th2
London Institution, G. +. Emory
said it was seven farthings. AS long
as he had the necessary seven share
holders a promoter could make th-
shares one farthing each, and no legal
question could be raised. Mr. Emory
told some amusing stories of the wile-
of the bogus promoter. One was about
an astute gentleman who actually in.
duced a London banker to subscribe
$2500 towards a mining property in
Africa which was nothing more than
barren field. When the banker dis
covered the fraud he wrote al angry
letter, demanding the return of Lis
$2500. The promoter replied through
q lawyer to the effect that the baL-
kers letter amounted to an atterLt
to obtain money by threats, and, as
that was q punishable offense, hc
tho .ght of taking proceedings at the
Mansion House. That disposed Of the
banLer.-London Chronicle.

BREAD AND BUTTER STATE.
Now Name Gained For Minnesota by It's
Dairy Products and Flour.

Dairy Products and Flour.
Minnesota has heretofore been known
as the Gopher State. Now it is be-
ginning to be called the Bread and
Butter State. The reason of the change
becomes clear when it is said that last
year its mills turned out 26,630,000 bar
rels of flour, and there were churned
in the State 50,000,000 pounds Of but
ter.
In the product Of spring wheat Min
nesota stands at the head of the States
Of the country and It's flour mills are
noted not only throughout the North
west, but in foreign countries as well.
The extensive development of its dairy
interests is comparatively recent.
The combination of wheat and flour
with milk and butter is more clearly
marked in Minnesota than in any
other State. New York and Illinois are
important dairy States, but the value
of the wheat crop in New York is less
than one-third the value of its oat
crop, and less than one-eighth the
value of its hay crop, wheat being now
one of the minor agricultural products
of New York, once the chief wheat
State.
Illinois raises n fair amount of
wheat, but the corn crop, which is of
very much more Importance, yields in a
year $S to every dollar received from
the product of wheat.-Sun.

Lost His
Rheumatism
By the use of a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil.

SERGEANT JEREMIAH MAHER, of Ard.
cath, Royal Irish Constabulary, says: "My
friend, Mr.. Thomas Hand, has been a great
sufferer from rheumatism in the back and
joints for the last four years, during which
time he has employed many different
methods of treatment, but obtained no relief
whatever and for the last two years has
been unable to walk without a stick. and
sometimes two sticks, and was in great pain
constantly. induced him to procure a
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which he applied
with the most astonishing and marvellous
effects. Before he had finished using the
contents of the first bottle he could walk
readily without the aid of stick, and after
few applications from the second bottle he
was free from pain, and has been ever since; ;
and although fifty years of age and farmer,
! he can walk and work without experiencing
any pain or difficulty whatever
