A VI kltS VIZ
Washington, Dec. 16. - The senate
YESTERDAY discussed the bill to pro-
mote the efficiency of militia and also
the omnibus statehood bill. AFTER
agreeing to the concurrent resolution
of the house for an adjournment from
Dec. 20 to Jan. 5, MIR. Proctor called
up the militia bill. An amendment by
Mr.. Pettus striking from the bill c
ton "a, having particular reference 10
the reserve force of trained men, pro-
yoked some discussion. The bill was
laid aside for the omnibus statehood
bill, Senator Dillingham; Of Vermont,
who Is opposed to the bill, occupying
the time of the senate for the remain
der of the day in rehearsing the testi-
mony taken by the subcommittee OF
the committee on territories during its
tour of investigation in Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma. After a BRIEF
executive session the senate ad-
journed.
In the House.

arms in Maine is taken into consid-
Grafton, possibly in Maine.
The farm was founded three years
ago and from the start has proven
to be a money-making establishment,
n those who predicted rank failure
for Mr.. Norton when he first preached
the scheme are now among the loud
est in praise of it.
There are raised on the farm silver
gray foxes and those known as Alaska
blue foxes, while an occasional red fox
is there. The usual stock on the farm
consists of from 40 to so. The main
Enclosure is divided into smaller ones
by means of wire netting. SO that both
breeds of foxes are kept separate. Oc-
casionally an Enclosure is occupied by
a single fox, this being the arrange
ment when some fox gets to be ugly
OF looking for trouble, it being cheap
er to keep him isolated from the 9TH
ers than to kill him before the mar
ket is ripe for good hides.
That the method used in combining
the foxes at this farm is as good as
could be devised is shown by the fact
that not a fox has escaped from the
place since the farm-was first estab-
lished.
The foxes are fed upon scraps of
meat and bones, and it is a very anus
ing sight to be present at the farm
when they are being fed. They will
snarl and growl and fight exactly like
a pack of dogs, each one of which is
anxious to secure the choicest morsel.
To a great extent the animals are very
tame, and there isn't one on the place
that doesn't know Mr.. Norton and will
fail to answer to a whistle from him.
The fur of the silver gray fox is the
most valuable, the price seldom falling
below 500, while 81. 0GO is not uncom-
mon and as high as $4,000 has been
paid for one. The reason for this is
that the fur is required for the trim
mings of the robes of many of the
rulers of European nations, and only
the best skins are used for this purpose,
which. coupled with the fact that even
medium quality silver gray fur is
scarce, put the price well up. The skin

Rapid Tumbler Washer.

The necessity for a rapid and thor
ough tumbler cleaning apparatus for
restaurants, o fountains and other
public drinking places is apparent.
Orlando p. Mason of Bellaire, O., has
patented a machine for this work
which seems to be simple and easily
operated, also permitting rapid use. A
reservoir Of water is provided with
automatic feed and drain pipes to
maintain the water at the proper level.
Inside this reservoir one or more YER
teal tubes are secured by 20 brack-
cts as shown.
Inside each tube is a coiled spring,
which forces upward a screw-threaded

New safety Lamp for Miners.

A young New York electrician, M. r.
Hutchinson, las recently invented a
device which ought to prove a special
boon to Miners. 1t is al electric lamp
and is to be carried in the cap, Just
as an ordinary miners lamp is carried,
the electric current to be supplied from
a storage battery. The battery is less
than three pounds in weight, and is
good for eight to ten hours steady
work. 1t may be carried in a pocket.
Indeed, Mr.. Hutchinson has built the
batteries in such shape hat they fit
snugly into a pocket. The practical
result of the use OF such a lamp as this
is that the danger of death from fire
damp is removed, the valuable oxygen
of the air is not burned up as it is by
the use of an ordinary lamp, the whole
apparatus is lean and compact; more
over, the light given is much better
than that of any other device used in
this way. The lamp should be intro
duced into every mine where men are
obliged to work far away from light
and good air. The device should also
find a place in cave exploring, well dig
ging or any underground work.

A Soldiers Memorial.

A stump that marked the burial place
of a Wisconsin soldier, who was killed
on h battlefield of Shiloh. is on ex-
hibition at Depere, Wis, and is viewed
with the greatest interest by the old
soldiers who took part in that battle.
John D. Putnam, of the Fourteenth
Wisconsin regiment, was the first man
in Company f to fall a victim to rebel
bullets. He was killed April IA, 1862.
Three comrades marked the spot where
he was buried by an inscription on the
trunk of a tree. The comrades were
Thomas Steele, Thomas Turriff and
Richard Brighton, who still live here.
Last October Thomas Steele, who &C
companied the Wisconsin commission
to locate the battle ground and the
position of the different regiments,
found the stump, with the inscription,
although in a state of decay. Mr..
Steele had the stump brought to De-
pere, and intends to send it to Madi-
son, where it will become a part of

or noise resulting while the machinery
is in motion. The driving wheel is
provided with magnetic coils arranged
around the periphery, with means for
energizing a portion OF the coils at a
time.
This is accomplished by passing the
electric current from a generator
through the upper spring contact arm
into the two or three coils Immediate
ly below, and allowing it to pass out
through the lower arm. In this way
a strong pull is exerted on the project
ing spokes of the larger wheel on the
side toward the energized coils, with
absolutely no attraction after the CEN
ter is passed. The tendency is for the
magnets and attracted spokes to con-
tinually approach each other. and as
fresh magnets and spokes are con-
stantly coming under the drawing
power the wheel continues to %revolve
as long as the energizing current is
supplied.

Mortality In limited States.

A recent bulletin of the United
States census compares the mortality
of 1890 and thai of 1900 and shows
that there has been a diminution Of
something like 10 per cent in the death
rate. In 1890 the average longevity In
the United States was 31.1 years; in
1900 it is 1872 years. The increase is
10 per cent. This is the conclusion,
at least, so far as cities of over 5000
inhabitants are concerned and it rep
resents the facts for the whole coun-
try approximately. In 1894 245 per-
sons died of consumption in every TO-

The main causes are a perfected n.y.

to 1877 in 1890.

Winding Indicator.

The object of the invention illustra-
ted below is to indicate at a glance
when it is time to wind a watch or
clock, without the necessity of testing
it, n also to insure regularity in
winding. jewelers. say that a watch
must be wound at regular intervals to
keep the best time, but it is seldom
that the owner attends to the winding
at h proper time, simply because
there is nothing to call his attention to
the fact hat the watch should be
wound.
The indicator here seen consists of a
circular plate of metal, mounted loose
ly IN the shaft which carries the hands.
A slot is cut in the dial and the fig
ures on the indicator are arranged to
present themselves in the opening as
the plate r%evolves, the a%ctuating mech
anism being the spring which runs the
hands of the clock. While a glance at
the dial will show the number of hours
which have elapsed since the watch or

Prof. Frank Boas gave an account of
the facilities for anthropological stud
