Americans In Manitoba-

Twenty-Five thousands American
farmers have migrated to Manitoba
this spring, and the Canadians are get
ting little unesy lest these pioneers
may sometime start movement for
the annexation Of the province to the
United tates. But as there is really
very little difference in the govern
ment of the two countries so far as
the rights of the farmers are concerned
it isn't probable that the immigrants
from south the boundary have any
sinister motives. What they are after
is land and room to expand. The home
stead law has resulted in the taking
up of all the available arabic land in
the United States and Manitoba is the
"last chance" 1t is great cattle
country as we'll as good place for
raising spring wheat. 1t will soon be
settled up at the rate people are push
ing in there this year. Most of the
immigrants are from the prairie states.

these artificial legs, and such a thing
as fall is unknown.
A person who can add six feet to the
length of his legs naturally has
great advantage over those who must
/ walk with limos of ordinary length.
The French farmers mounted in this
way are almost match, in point of
speed, for horse, and a shepherd can
outrun dog in rounding up his sheep.
The silt walkers can even run at sur
prlslng speed through very rough
country or through underbrush sever
al feet in height.
A race was recently run near Bor-
deaux between three picked horses,
three silt walkers and three pedes.
TRANS. Only one of the horses fin
ished. 1t arrived first, but only about
20 minutes ahead of the first silt
walker. The last of the silt walkers
completed the course IL hours ahead
of the first pedestrians.
The stills used by the French peas
ants are entirely different from those
sometimes used by children in the
United States. The stills which serve
Is toys in America, as rule, reach UP
to the armpits, or at least to within
reach of the hands. The French stills
do not reach even to the knee. The
French stills have, besides, a much
broader rest for the foot.
The Frenchman never touches the
stills with his hands. They are
strapped rigidly to his foot and leg,
thus leaving both hands free to carry
his long staff or any other burden.
All the silt walkers worthy of the
name are able to mount their stilts
without assistance. The children
learn to walk on great stills almost as
soon as they can walk, and men over 80
years old still retain their curious ar
tifcial legs.-Detroit Free Press.

THE POWER OF SPEECH.
Prof. Cunningham Describes 1t as the
Result of n Slow Process of
n Natural Growth.

Speech is the result of slow process
of natural growth, and there is no
human race that does not possess it.
1t in the present state of the world
some philosopher were to wonder
how man ever began to build those
houses, palaces and vessels which we
see around us we should answer that
those were not the things that man
began with. The savage who first
himself a shelter was not an architect
and he who first floated on the trunk
OF a tree was not navigator. So it
is with speech, which grew from rude
beginnings. All the more intelligent
animals can express simple conditions
OF mind both by sound and gesture.
The dog can emit four or five sounds
each fully understood by his compan-
dons. The common barnyard fowl has
from nine to twelve distinct vocal
sounds, all of which are comprehended
by it's chickens and by other fowls.
There can be no doubt that the speech
of man arose, in the beginning, from
similar sources. Gesture speech was
frequent. Many sounds were imita-
tive. Purely conventional and non
Initiative sounds were adopted for
convenience, just as deaf mutes now
invent arbitrary sounds to stand for
the names of friends, etc 1t is not
precisely true, then, to say that clan
guage begins where interjection ends"
However it originated, it is the condi-
ton of progress. AS Romanes said:
"A manlike creature became human
by the power of speech" When did
speech originate? Romanes thinks
that our human ancestor may have
been in the age of flint when he added
TO gesture, vocal tones and facial
grimaces the power of speech. The
foregoing sentences are very free
condensation of an address by Prof.
Cunningham.

A PAPER PARACHUTE,
How Any bright Boy Can Make a

1t is not difficult to make a para

taken as model. But how can we
get an apparatus by tho means of
which the parachute is carried into

Let US proceed as follows: Suppos-
Ing we have succeeded in making a

bone or wire, but thin pieces of card
extending good bit over the edge
of the parachute and fastened with
their ends to smooth wooden ring;

auarryinx stone with water.

A remarkable quarrying feat was
recently accomplished at Rubislaw
quarries, Aberdeen, Scotland. A
large stone had been drilled, ready
for splitting, when the thought
struck the foreman that the severe
frost which prevailed might be uti-
lized. Water was poured into eacl,
of the drill holes, and it was found
after a couple of days that the block
of granite had completely burst open.
An idea of the immense power of the
frost will be gathered when it is
stated that the stone thus detached
measures 70 feet by five feet, and
has a weight of about six tons

AN IDEA FROM FRANCE.
Method of Extrncting OIL from olive
Pulp Likely to Prove Useful
In United States.

A method of extracting oil from
olive pulp which has long been in
vogue in Southern France is probably
available for vegetable oilcake also,
and is likely to prove useful in Amer.
lea. Consul General Skinner, writ
ing from Marseilles, describes it,
in letter to the state department.
The essential feature of the system
is that some chemical solvent, like
naphtha, is employed to withdraw
the oil from the pulp, and is then sep.
aarated from the oil by distillation.
Naphtha, gasolene or petroleum es-
ssence," as the French call it, was long
the favorite agent, and some of the
big oil manufacturers at Havre op-
crate their own petroleum refneries
in connection with their olive oil
works. But sulphide of carbon is
now coming into favor, because it is
non-explosive and cheaper. In Mar

A Valuable Dust storm

The great storm of red dust that
swept up from Africa over Europe
last year performed service for
which men of science should be
grateful, by coloring the glaciers OF
the Alps on a grand scale, and thus
producing Il stratum in the vast ice
streams the red hue of which will
render it recognizable for many
years. The Importance of this con.
sists in the fact that by noting the
position of the dust-stained layer tho
movements of the glaciers can be
studied more accurately than would
be possible without the aid of so ex.
tensiye and distinct marking.

Progress. In Flyins-Macbtne..

Prof. r. II. Thurston, of Cornell uni
versity, speaks of recent experiments
with a "double-deckcd" aviator, by
Messrs. Wright, of Dayton, as having
distinctly contributed to our knowl-
edge in the field of aerial fight. The
Wright apparatus, carrying one man
who assumes nearly horizontal posi-
ton, has total spread of sos feet of
canvas, the length of the machine be-
ing % feet The planes have a curva-
ture copied from that of pigeons
wing. Gliding or soaring was success

flight was 400 feet. No motor was used.

calculation in leaping from one timber
to another means a cold bath in the
lake, and if no companions at hand 10
give him lift, his death is but ques-
ton of a few minutes.
In view of the fact that fatalities
attend the drive from the time it is
set atioat far up river, in May, until
1T reaches Pea cove boom, 200 miles
away, in August or September, the
woodsmen have devised a novel piece
of mechanism for finding bodies that
lie below the water.
The invention consists of molasses
hogshead with one head removed and
a pane of window glass cemented
above hole cut in the remaining
head. The hogshead is set on end,
with the end containing the glass in
the water.
Two green and heavy logs are then
dashed to the sides of the hogshead,
causing it to float as deeply as posi-
BILE in the water. The logs are held
together by spiked cleats fore and aft,
so man can stand on the improvised
raft and scull it back and forth. AS
soon as the mechanism is completed
small man gets into the hogshead,
which is closely covered at the top, to
exclude the light.
When the man has been inside few
minutes his eyes become accustomed
to the darkness, so that by looking
through the pane in the bottom, the
only point where light is admitted, he
is enabled to see to depth of 20 and
80 feet and distinguish objects lying
upon the bottom of the waterway.
AS the hogshead is capable of holding
but little air, the man cannot remain
inside for long. AS soon as he comes
out he takes the scull oar while his
companion goes inside to scan the
depths. In this manner many bodies
have been recovered and watches lost
overheard and cant dogs, which have
slipped from the hands of careless
drivers, have been restored to the light
Of day.
The instrument which the lumber
men use has been called water-scope,
term which is neither English or
Greek, though compounded from both
languages.
The name of it's inventor is unknown,
and there is no patent to protect the
idea. Woodsmen say it came into use
about 25 years ago. Previous to that
time the man who wished to spy upon
the floor of lakes and streams used a
wooden tube made of four narrow
boards, the lower end being provided
with light of glass.
AS boards are hard to find in the
wilds of Maine, while empty molasses
hogsheads are to be had at every lum-
Der camp, the hogshead water-scope
was no doubt adopted because it was
the only thing available. Since the
first one was so constructed no other
kind will be used.

COMPOSITION ON HENS.
literary Gem Produced by an OBJ
servant Boy Pupil in n Cali
fOrnia Public School.

Hens is curious animals. They
don't have no nose, nor no teeth, nor no
ears.
The outside of hens is generally put
into pliers and feather busters. The
inside OF hen is sometimes filled up
with marbles and shirt buttons and
SIGH.
A hen is very much smaller than a
good many other animals, but they'll
dig up more tomato plants than any
thing that amt hen.
Hens is very useful to lay eggs for
plum pudding. I like plum pudding.

settles large quantities of sulphide
are produced for this purpose. How
ever, the oil obtained with the aid OF
naphtha, while sold for soap making
and not for the table, has better

by the sulphide. The remaining meal
is promptly dried to prevent fermen.
