Twenty-Five years ago Senator Mcmillan
went to his brother, William Mcmillan, VIE
was then keeping a small hardware store
selling principally stoves. William said
the senator, selling stoves is no business
for you. You can't make anything in this
trade. Now, l have decided to establish a
branch OF my car company at st. Louis, and
I want you to go there as my superintend-
ent. William MCMILLAN died the early part
Of this year. You never heard OF him, l
never heard of him; yet Secretary Of the In
terrier Mr.. Hitchcock. who is from 81. Louis,
tcld me that William Mcmillan was a highly
respected citizen of the city Of st. Louis.
Five years before his death Mr.. McMil-
Ian started in systematically TO give away
his money. He wanted to give II away
wisely and superintend the distribution dur
ing his lifetime. He provided his son, who
lives in Europe, and his grandchild with all
ths money he thought they would ever be
likely to need and continued to give away

Senator Mcmillan, being chairman OF the
District Of Columbia committee OF the
senate, considered 1t was not proper for
him to invest in district real estate, which
might advance in value by reason OF i'm
provements made by the government, and
consequently the only piece of property he
owned wac the house in which he lived.
He picked this house out in Washington
and went to the owner, Mrs. Gait, and said
How much is this WORTH Well, senator
she replied, 4 think il is worth $s5 ,OOO.'
Here is your check, madam he replied.

A recent monthly bulletin issued by the

shows that the submarine lines number
1,75O. Their aggregate length is nearly
200, 900 miles, their total cost is estimated
at S275, 900, 900 and the number Of messages
annually transmitted over them is more
than 5000, 900. All the grand divisions OF
the earth are now connected by their wires.
Adding to the submarine lines the land
telegraph systems by which they are con-

Tor points OF the various continents into
instantaneous communication the total
length of telegraph lines Of the world is
1,1s0, 900 miles, the length of their single
wires or conductors $500, 900 miles and the
total number Of messages annually sent
over them about 400. 900, 900, or an aver

Electrical Restaurant.

This has been called the age of electricity,
and electricity has certainly proved the key
to many a modern problem, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. Whether or not ii will eventually
serve as a solution to the time-honored
servant girl question, which has brought
many an admirable housekeeper's gray hairs
in sorrow to the grave. remains to be seen.
The idea of Harvesting the lightning for do
nestle service seems about as incongru-
ously impossible as the proverbial harness
ing CT Pegasus to a pillow. But there has
been at least a step taken in that direction
in the opening at Niagara Falls of a restau-
rant in which electricity supplies the ser
vice"
Everything in this magical restaurant, in
fact every thing in the whole building, Is
produced by electric currents, generated by
the rivers power. The building is occupied
by a natural food company. The restaurant
was installed at the cost OF about $50, 900 for
the benefit of its employees and Of visitors
to the falls. Far below through a canal
water is switched in from the river which
generates the power that runs the entire es-
tablishment-the huge Ferris wheel ovens in
which the food product is baked, the great
elevators on which they are carried from
floor to floor and finally landed in the ship
ping department, where they are loaded on
electric motors and sent to the train.
The entire restaurant is run by one young
man at a switchboard. There are 500 tables
and 500 cars. and It is not at all unusua
that 100 OF them are in motion at once. But
the young man has little to do. with then
once they are started. He presses the but

Rain and Hail at Santa Re.

Santa Fe last night experienced the
heaviest rain storm it has had for
over a year. The precipitation during

HONEST DOCTOR
Speaks of Coffee Drinking

About coffee drinking, DR.. Hewet
says: II have the best of reasons for
naming coffee as among the most dan
gerous of slow poisons. My own per-
sonal experience outside OF the general
experience gained by my practice has
taught the truth.
"At about 16 | became a member of a
young peoples society whose pledge
barred the use OF all intoxicants, to-
bacco, tea and coffee, until the age of
81. 1 kept my pledge and early tenn
perate habits were formed. UP to about
my 30th year | was an athlete; no one
had better health or spirits.

my system became impaired.
Dizziness attacked me, and tremulant
hands rendered writing exceedingly
difficult. My diet had to be restricted.
Experienced medical advisors forbade
all fruits.
several attacks of gastritis troubled
me and bowel complaint became quite
frequent. The shadow of melancholia
menaced me and caused me to wonder
why a man of my lineage, strength and
endurance and temperate habits should
be thus afflicted.

Writes From Philippines.

A letter from Henry Hubbell. former
ly clerk in the division foreman's Office
here and well known in the city. now
located at Cebu. Philippine islands,
gives glowing reports of business OPP
portunities there and says American
goods are in such demand that it is
impossible to supply the demand.
Goods. he says, cannot be brought to
the islands in sufficient quantities.
The soldiers and others are such great
beer drinkers that the islands are out
of the American product two months
out of three. The shipments come
about every three months and at the
time the letter was written there had
been no American beer for two months.
Henry is planning to go into business
himself soon and believes that a for

vulcanoloqy

Yesterday morning Prof. Tight adj
dressed the students of the University
on the interesting and current subject
of volcanoes. His talk was most inter
esting as at the present time so many
minds are turned to the disasters at Mar
Unique. The doctor is well read on the
subject on which he spoke and not
only did he mention the general causes
of these peculiar and awful geological
phenomena and the ancient eruptions
of prehistoric time but also referred
to our own little volcano and the lava
flow west of Albuquerque and it's orig
in.
Prof Tight is not a man who will
commit himself on any subject and al
though he is undoubtedly the best read
geologist in the southwest he was
10th to give any theory as coming
from himself as an explanation of the
recent phenomena. However, he said
that the geological scientific expedi-
lions that had been sent by the differ
ent countries to the Lesser Antilles
had not reported as yet and that when
they did the reports would be what
actually took place and not theories
about eruptions and that all supposi-
tons advanced until these expeditions
were heard from would undoubtedly
be mere suggestions, unscientiic and
u~nauthentic.
He spoke of the great belts or sys-
TENS of volcanic action, one surround
ing the Indian ocean, n surrounding
the Mediterranean sea, one the CARR
bean sea and the two inland systems of
North America and Asia. 1t seems the
phenomena which transpires in the in.
land systems is quiet and the great
coastal systems have always presented
the more active and destructive effects
This is easily explained when the pres.
ence of the great land and water mass.
es of the globe are considered. II we
look upon the continents as great
wedges pushing or pressing down to
ward the earth's center and the oceans
as other wedges doing the same thing
only far heavier, we can see that the
is a constant plane Of friction between
these great wedges which is technical
ly called the ~''shearing plane" 1t II
due to this great oceanic and CONT
mental movement that the great coast
al systems of volcanic disturbance eX
list.
Prof. Tight said that the lava flow
west of Albuquerque was of the quie
type and of very recent date, perhap
within the history of habitation OF tn
Rio Grande valley, at least in recen
Pleocene times of geological work, ant
that il was undoubtedly an issue from
a crack in the earth's crust akin Z
great flows of Montana, Idaho, Wash
ngton, Oregon and Nevada, which ar
sometimes a mile in thickness an
which were all caused by illiteratioI
of the great inland sea of the Crets
ceous period.
He said that the flow here was mere
ly an outpouring of lava and unaccon
panied by the various disturbance
which have so characterized the Ma
: Unique eruption. No authentic theor
can at present be advanced as to tn
cause of the present disaster. but theT
; are foundation aus of all such phi
nomena and il was a clear explanatio
of these that Prof. Tight tried to Civ
the students.
