MR.. CROKER'S VANTAGE.
The Sort of Place It is and Why He
Went There.

From the LoLdon Telegraph.
In these days of Winchester festivities
and national millennium 1t has been some
what too widely forgotten that the town
where King Alfred was born celebrated the
anniversary Of his birth more than fifty
years ago. not only by statute which
stands in the Vantage market place. but by
the reorganization Of an ancient grammar
school, where most Of the hardy yeoman
farmers in that district received their edu-
cation. Few more appropriate memorials
to the founder of English education could
have been conceived, and Miss Gibbons has
been we'll advised to take advantage OF the
present interest in all that pertains to the
great west Saxon leader by issuing an
authoritative history of the town which
gave him birth.
The quiet town Of Vantage has suddenly
found itself placarded with a strange no.
torlety In the past year or two. No doubt
1t was chiefly its almost unequalad oppor-
tunities for training racehorses that first
attracted the celebrated Mr.. Croker to this
district, district which perSistently claims
the honor of the birth OF Eclipse against
all the assertions of the inha btants Of
Windsor Great Park or the Isle Of Dogs.
ana sportsmen who follow the doings OF
thoroughbreds in training are by now weu
accustomed to turning to the news Of Wan
tage for report of what Mr.. Morton, or
Mr.. Hornby, or Mr.. Robson have been do
passing phases of publicity the town IS very
little disturbed. 1t was content for a long
time with the reputation Of King Alfred.
Then Bishop Butler of the analogy" con-
ferred more modern luster upon the town
where he was born and educated, and in
these last years it the energy and
organization of another Butler. "Butler Of
Vantage" as the dean of Lincoln was
called TO the end of his strenuous career,
which finally raised the little Berkshire
town out of its old rut and placed it in the
forefront OF model educational centers The
name is associated. TOO, with that Of the
peer, but lately dead, who took it for his
title. Lord Vantage did much for the place
in which he was so largely interested, and
among the most picturesque records of his
generosity will ever be that Gallery Of the
Victoria Cross, where the first heroes OF
that splendid decoration are CONNIE mora ted
by the art of Chevalier Desanges. Il would
be a pity if this historic series were left In
complete by the lack of the more recent
owners of the cross In the period after the
artists work here preserved was stopped,
for 1t would be difficult to find n, Jrc stir
ring or interesting collection Of patriotic
pictures in any gallery in the world.

A Wonderful Chinese Tent.
From the Lcndon Express.


The Empress Dowager OF China does
not travel like other less illustrio,s folk.
Whenever, before the outbreak of the re-
cent trouble In the far east. her majesty
travelled to any distance from her capital
she used to take with her wonderful tent.
and this tent has now been taken to France
by Lieut.. Col. Observation-Disclosures. who
received it from the mandarin Of Ki-tsche-
ou and has been presented 10 the army
museum In Paris by the French ministcr
OF the navy. The tent is lined with yell
Low silk, and is copiously embroidered IN
silver and gold with thousands of curious
but artistic designs most prominent among
them being blazing suns and monstrous
dra agons with five claws.
1t is 30 feet long, II feet vide and ~ fee:
high. and when erected 1t has the form o:
a cube over which a pyramid extends TT
self Thus her majesty could not well COM
plain of the smallness of her portable
abode during sultry weather. and as fog
the furnishings. they were truly oriental in
their luxuriousness.r From time immemo-
rial Il has been the custom Of the people Of
high degree In far Cathay to use these
gorgeousy emblazoned tents, the nature Of
the country being such that 1t is often i'm
possible to call halt for Tn. night nea-
a town or village.

Military Uses of Snow.


Some interesting experiments have been
recently carried out in Norway to ascer-
tain the amount Of resistance offered bv
parapets made of snow to the penetration
of rifle bullets. 1t was found that wall
OF snow feet thick. the snow being neither
rammed nor frozen. was proof at so Yards
distance against the bullet OF the Krap-
Jorgenson rifle. Snow, therefore, it must
be concluded. has greater resisting power
certainly than soft wood. and one nearly
equal to that OF loosely piled-up earth The
Norwegian rifle. II must be remembered, is
sighted up to 200 yards. and with a
caiibre of 6.5 millimetres has q velocity OF
2,36O feet. and therefore Is to the full at
least as powerful q weapon as that of any
other army. -

Of Great Interest to Architects.
Architects from all over Ameri-
ca when in Washington go out to
Mr.. Heurich's farm to observe the
concrete ceilings he has built from
his own ideas-an original plan
marking an advance in constructive
science, the ceilings standing as firm
as rock without artificial aid Of any
kind. Imagine such ceiling over
hundred feet square and one has
some conception OF the scope and
success OF this undertaking.
A handsomely illustrated brochure
issued in 1890 told the story of Bell
vue and explained in detail the COM
pleteness of every appliance and pro-
cess by which the COWS are kept in
perfect condition, how the milking is
done in the most cleanly manner,
the milk cooled and aerated by elab-
orate apparatus that elides every
vestige of animal heat and odor, then
bottled at the farm, then brought
into the city in Bellvue's own wag-
ons fresh, pure and cool twice daily
in summer, to be received by the
dairy at I43I 2 street NV, where
there are great refrigerators to keep
it at the sanitary temperature in sum-
mer, and whence it is delivered in the
Bellvue wagons to the homes of
Washington's most exacting citizens,
to people who wish the very best in
milk, selecting Bellvue milk for the
same reason they select Sharpless or
Darlington butter, and willing to pay
higher price for it. Bellvue milk
sells at 10 cents quart, but it sworth
more, judged by ordinary standards.
At 10 cents Mr.. Heurich does not
get as much for his milk as it costs
him to produce it. And | noted by
comparison that his bottles are extra
large, holding more than the aver
age. His dairy sells no milk ex-
cept that which is produced at Mr..
Heurich's own farm, thereby full
filling the ideal of the health experts,
as, indeed, he does in every detail of
his dairying.

Excavations at Pergamus.

Athens Correspondence Of the London Standard.
Herr Dorpfeld. the director Of the German
Archaeological Institute here. delivered an
interesting lecture yesterday on the excava-
tions at Pergamus, in Asia Minor, which
are being carried on by German explorers
Herr Dorpfeld. who lately paid visit to
the spot. saw the foundations and portion
Of the walls OF an ancient Christian church
place. The building has large peristyle
and baptistery, and must have been erect
ed before the destruction Of other buildings
In the market place, which were demolished
during the Roman dominion or under the
early Byzantfnes. as 1t contains none Of the
stones belonging to them. The discovery
OF the church Is especially interesting. as It

tions. DR.. Dorpfeld detected a marked re-
eemblance between a water reservoir at
Pergamus and the famous fountain Of Kali
ffrhoe, near Athens, which he himself dis

THE FORCE OF VIBRATION
An Architect Tells Why a Fiddle Can
Can Shake Great Building.

Gan Shake Great Building.
From the indianapolis News
What force least expected does the
greatest damage to buildings?" A News
representative asked a weIl-known archi-
tect.
1T Is difficult to tell. But will venture
to say that you would never expect violin
playing to injure the walls of a building.
Yet that is certainly the case There have
been instances when the walls of stone and
brick structures have been seriously i'm
paired by the vibrations from a violin OF
course these cases are unusual. but the
facts are established. The vibrations of a
violin are something terrible in their un-
seen, unbound force, and when they come
IN contact with regularity they bear their
influence upon structures of stone, brick
Or iron. OF course it takes continuous play
ing for many years to loosen masonry or
to make iron brittle. but that result is OBJ
talned. In the great Masonic Temple in
Chicago / have thought of what the re-
suit might be il man would stand on the
first floor, at the bottom of the nineteen
story light well. and play there continuous
ly. The result could be more easily seen
tnere than almost any place else. because
the vibration gathers force as it sweeps
upward A man can feel the yibra tions of
violin on an ironclad ocean vessel. and at
the same time be unable to hear the music.
1t is the regularity of the vibration which
means so much. Like the constant drip
ping OF water wearing away a stone the
incessant vibration of the violin makes its
way to the walls, and attacks their solid
ity.v
But why doesn't this vibration affect the
player ?"
Because a man is flexible object He
can give way to motion and resume his
place again. A frame building would not
be damaged from vibration. because the
timbers are flexible. But it is different
with masonry.
You may have noticed that a dog cross
ing the room will shake the entire building
no matter how small the dog. dog can
shake suspension bridge There are some
great and valuable bridges which dogs are
never allowed to cross, except when car
ried.~ You see. In that case 1t is the reg,I-
larity of the vibration that Is SO powerful.
The dogs movement is a fixed and positive
institution. The first step on the bridge
comes just alike. at the same interval, and
with the same f1rmness. The force gathers
momentum and each step makes the bridge
sway more. But there is another way that
it may perhaps be illustrated better. As
you sit there raise one foot partially on
tip-toe That's it. Now work your knee
up and down rapidly and regularly. See
how everything in the room rattles and
the floor shakes? That illustrates the dog
You and ! and all our friends could not
jump up and down In this room and shake
the floor az you have just shaken II while
sitting down and using only the force OF
one leg. 1t is the regularity OF tbs sihTA-
ton which is powerful. 80

ton and drainage that surpasses the
majority Of dwelling houses. There
are a multitude of attendants who
keep the stables and the COWS cleanly
as only constant care can. The COWS
are fed with the very best feed the
market affords.
Eight Silos.
There are eight large concrete
silos for the preservation of ensilage
The water the COWS drink is as
pure and clear as the water of Ia
koma spring. There is deep SPRING
fed we'll and beneath that still
deeper artesian well from which the
water is steam pumped to be dis
tributed to the cows in their stables
and yards. There is running water
in each of the several fields where
the COWS are exercised and pastured.
The Northwest branch, a large
stream OF clear water, also flows
through the farm.
Tuberculin Tested.
The COWS are as carefully groomed
as blooded trotting stock. Their
health is made the subject of unceas-
ing vigilance. In guarding against
the ills to which the flesh of COWS is
heir, twice yearly the tuberculin
test is applied to the entire herd. Mr..
Heurich does not require legislation
to compel him to take these precau-
tions. He has done SO voluntarily
from the beginning.
Cows about to calve have special
attention and are isolated in LARGE
box stalls.
There is particularly unique fea-
ture of the Heurich stables-they
are absolutely freproof, a humane
provision almost unknown in barn
building. In building the stable at
Bellvue Mr.. Heurich developed
ideas IN concrete construction alter

NEW
RIVER
STEAMER
0. c. T. Co Begins COnStruc-
ti0n of Draught Boat

The Oregon City Transportation
Company has begun construction of a
llght-draught steamboat, for service
on the upper Willamette river. She is
planned to draw only IL inches of
water without cargo, and will, there
fore, be the lightest draught boat on
the Willamette. The little steamer
will navigate at low stages of the
water, when other boats will be un.
able to render service at all.
The dimensions of the boat will be:
Length, l27 feet, breadth 25h feet;
depth Of hold, AZ feet. She will have
10x42-inch engines, and a steel boiler
which will carry 165 pounds Of steam.
Her dead weight carrying capacity
will be between 100 and 175 tons. The
boat will be equipped with all the con.
veniences for passenger service. The
other boats of the companys fleet
have minimum draughts respectively
as follows: Leona, Is inches; Pomo-
ma, 1914 inches; Altoona, 20 inches. The
company is trying to find a suitable
name for the new boat with the "ona"
suiiiX Of the other steamers.
