FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
An Electric Plant Made and Operated
by Boys.


The most remarkable electric light
plant in Missouri and probably in
the United States, says a st. Louis
dispatch to the Now York Times, is
situated in st. Louis. The building
in which the plant is installed is Of
brick and was built especially for
the purpose for which it is now
used. I've name Of this remarkable
company is the American Electric
Power company, and it is situated
in the rear of Edward Field Goltra' 5
residence at 1882 Delmar boulevard.
The proprietor of the lighting plant
is Edward Field Goltra, Jr. The
members of his company are his
friends. and playmates, all under ten
years Of age.
Once organized, these youngsters
started in to study electrical engi-
neering and applied themselves so
diligently that now they run the en-
tire plant without any assistance
from older heads. It was necessary
for them to have some business for
their plant, and after hard begging
permission was obtained by the COM
pany to wire the Goltra home and
make connections for electric lights.
The house was already connected
for lighting purposes by one of the
large lighting companies, but the
fact that they were in opposition to
a great lighting corporation, with
millions of dollars Of capital, did
not deter them from going after the
business. They had the pull" and
won, and the initial lighting day of
the residence by the new company
was one Of great Importance to the
youthful electricians.

MANY SPIES EMPLOYED BY SULTAN

Turkey Growing Dem oraiixed Under tho
Present. Vicious System.
In no country and at no time of the
worlds history has the spy system
been developed to the point it has at
tanned in Turkey to-day. 1t is most
elaborate organization and costs an
immense amount of money. There
are spies and counter-spies, and
counter-spies to the fourth or fifth
degree. Their number is legion. and
they are to be found in all classes OF
society. from the highest to~the low
est. Besides the minister of police,
almost every high dignitary has his
own service of spies, says the London
Chronicle.
These are all rival organizations.
and spend most of their time in spy
ing and denouncing each other. All
prominent persons are closely watch
ed, and followed even while shopping,
and should they meet another person
of note and exchange few words.
the fact is carefully noted. Turks no
longer dare assemble in parties of
five or six for the purpose of spend
ing their evenings together. 1t is i'm
possible for three or four of them to
sit down at table in a coffee house
without having spy at the next. On
such occasions they always speak
very loud, SO that everybody may
hear them. Should European con-
verse with Turk in the street. a spy
will follow them and try to find out
what they are saying.
The result of all this is that the
Turks avoid one another's company
as much as possible, and whenever
they do come together the converse
tion is on the most futile subjects and
quite childish. The Turkish nation is
growing more and more demoralized
under the present spy system.

DE wINoT's EXPEDITION.
Members Suffer From Terribly In.
tense Cold.

Letters have been received in Lon
don from Harry De Windt, leader of
tine expedition which is attempting to
make its way overland from Paris to
New York. dated Verkhoyansk, East
Siberia. at the end of February. In
spite of the forebodings of the officials
of Yakutsk, who strongly urged Mr..
De Windt not to continue his journey,
saying the conditions were worse this
year than ever. the expedition reached
Verkhoyansk, 600 miles north of Yak
utsk, February 2Sth.
The members of the expedition had
n terrible experience while crossing
the Verkhoyansk mountains. The cold
was intense, siXty-three degrees below
zero being registered. All the travel
crs were frost bitten. Otherwise they
were well and in good spirits and Were
leaving the same day for Sredne
Kolymsk, n town of East Siberia, 900
miles further on, which the party
hoped TO reach about the middle> OF
March. Then it was their intention to
push on 1,50O miles to East cape, on
Behring straits. Probably the next
news of the expedition will be its ar
rival in the United States via the Beh-
ring straits. DE Windt mentions re-
port that Baron Tolls expeditionary
ship Zaria was stranded off the SiDe-
rian islands, with only seven tons OF
coal on board.

his evolutions are about the bridges,

comes for the scientific protection of

certain stage of the life of the tur-
bot. for instance. the baby fish floats
helplessly on the surface of the wa

of disposing of hundred turbot in a

such thing would be legislated out of

And what are stomach troubles? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect us proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is one of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
