Irl Hicks has sent the VIDETTE
one of his 1908 almanacs. We
have examined it closely to see
what the weather conditions will be
next year, but fail to find anything
bearing upon this important mat
ter. There is plenty talk about
Saturn, Venus, Mercury and other
planets but nothing about the
weather. The only prophecies we
were able to find were to look for
seismic shocks in September and
shooting stars in October. Verify,
Irl is not much of a prophet, after
all.

CHARCOAL AGE OF IRON MAKING,
Why Russia Lags Behind in Steel and
 Pig Iron

Why Russia Lags Behind in Steel and
 Pig Iron
 Though Russia has almost ineXhaust- ible resources in iron ore the country is not yet able to produce all the iron re- quired by the home industries. Bus- ness interests complain that metal and machinery manufactures are embar- rassed because so much iron and steel must still be imported. Economists say the country can never attain industrial Independence till if can make all the iron and steel it needs. A scientific commission, which has inquired into the causes for the slow development of iron production in the Urals has just reported that the industry langushes on account of antiquated methods Wood is the fuel used and as the for ests have been felled far and wide around the smelters it is difficult to bring ore and fuel together. There are no railroads, horses being still em- ployed to carry ore and fuel. Conse- quently, though wages in Russia are excessively low, it costs more to pro- duce pig iron in the TTrals than in the United States, where ore is carried eight hundred to thousand miles to the coke furnaces and smelters of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
 Forty million acres of forest lands al- ,1otted by the government to the iron in dustries of the TTrals are still intact in the provinces of Perm and JTfa. In the opinion of the commission raildoads should at once be built to connect the smelters with the forests, where large charcoal burning should be developed with a view entirely to supplant wood ae fuel Improvements in process of pig iron manufacture, long ago adopted by western nations, are also suggested The commission believes that the an nual output of pig iron in the Urals, now about six hundred and forty-five thousand tons a year, may readily be increased to five times that quantity, and that the prices of iron and steel now artificially high, may be so great ty reduced that there will be no market in Russia for importations.
 So the Urals may be advanced to the charcoal age of iron making. The fuel used in making nine -tenths of our pig iron is coke. as this country discarded charcoal many years ago.-NeW York l Sun.

The Failure of New Street Car
 Conductors Scheme to Get All the
 Fares.
 Old street car conductors sometimes have great deal of thouble with their under studies" It is the custom of the Indianapolis company to break in new men by sending them out over the lines with experienced employees who have been long in the service T,2is is done in order to train the new men to act as substitutes or extras" :" Recently a Brightwood line conductor had one of the new men in charge On the first trip the beginner was shown how to collect fares how the rod connecting with the indicator should be manipulated to show a ticket. how it should be worked to indicate cash fare and how the trip reports should be made out in the meantime teaching him the names of the streets and when to call them On the next trip the understudy thought he had learned his part SO well he asked permission to run the car himself under super vision. The old conductor watched the new man collect the fares and saw that
 
 turned to the rear of the car he was informed that he was five short there were thirty passengers and he had collected only twenty-five fares. With out waiting for further advice the new man put his head in the door of the car ard shouted:
 All who have not paid their fares will please stand up"
 Not a passenger moved Perhaps they were too amazed-probab bly as much astonished as the old conductor The silence was becoming almost pain ful. Finally the suburbanite nudged his neighbor and asked him why he didn't stand up.
 Can't lie,' was the reply. I'm honest Paid my fare
 By this time the humor of the situ- ation began to dawn on the other The men laughed and the women smied-all except five girls in the front part of the car who were so busy talking they had not heard the new conductors stand-up' order nor what followed One of the girls had bunch of transfer tickets partly concealed in a glove.

BRAIN KEEPS TIME IN SLEEP.


 Speaking of the brain" said we'll known neurologist the other day, "one of its most striking peculiarities is that in the soundest sleep of which we are capable some part of the brain organ ism takes upon itself the duty of meas uring time.
 You may sleep your soundest, sweet est sleep and be awakened suddenly out of it. Almost your first mental prompt ing is that of time: there is an invol untary attempt on the part of the brain to tell you just how long you have been asleep. You will get some idea of the time, too; you can make a pretty intel ligent guess as to whether it is nearer twelve o'clock than it is to three o'clock.
 But when one has lost consciousness, whether through violence or ether, or faniting, there is absolutely no knowl- edge of time. A man coming from un- der the influence of ether does not know whether he has been unconscious an hour or a month, He has no sensation that will suggest it,
 Tn sleep, however, it seems as if the hrain's time card can be thrown off  completely. For instance, q person, un- expectedly, may go to sleep on warm summer day, It is morning, we will say, and the sun is shining. When he wakes the sun is still shining, and most frequently, unless sleeping in daylight is common to him, he will have no idea whether the next meal will be a late breakfast, a luncheon, or q dinner; he has lost his bearings completely.
 Another faculty of the brain in time keeping Is that in many individuals it Is possible for them to go to sleep and awaken at almost any hour they may decide upon. In some persons this abil ity to awaken at pleasure is almost As this brain time-keeper works in man, subconsciously all through the day. we may well wonder how and when it gets it's period of rest Chicago Tribune.
