HOMES FOR WORKERS
Kenosha CWis.) Manufacturers Ad@l
a Novel Plan to Attract Factory
Men to Their City.

Proft-sharing on a novel basis is
to be given a trial by IL of the lead
ing industrial plants in Kenosha,
Wis, as the managers of the plants
have formed a cooperative associa-
ton for the purpose of bringing in
laborers and to make the city a
model manufacturing town. The
plan is to purchase a large tract of
land on which will be built homes for
1000 laborers. These homes will be
sold to the men al the actual cost of
building. They will be located near
the factory district, and fitted with
all modern conveniepces. In order to
matrimony among the
workmen these houses will be sold
or rented, and in the latter case the
rent paid will apply or the purchase
price of the house. To further the
plan a large clearinghouse will be
erected to accommodate several
hundred workmen, at which it will
be possible to secure board and
rooms at low rates. One thousand
men are now needed for the factories
in Kenosha, and this unique plan has
been hit upon to draw people to the
city.

One afternoon a photographer lay
in wait behind the house, hoping to
catch her unawares when walking
in the garden. Mrs. Green spied him,
however, and before he could focus
his camera, DE says, she climbed
over a high board fence, displaying
an agility which surprised him.

NEW ELECTRIC sY STEM.
Test of Railroad In Italy on which
Speed of Forty-F1ve Miles an
Hour LIS Attained.

The first test of a new system of
electric traction is reported in the
Electrical Review as having surpassed
the expectations of the installing en-
gineers. This is the system that re-
Gently attracted so much attention in
London, on cou of its low bid for
the electric traction work in that city.
A correspondent in Italy, where the
installation has just been completed,
says that a speed of AS miles an hour
was secured without any serious jar
ring, and that trains of five. cars were
easily transported at this speed ever
on decided grades. The dynamos work
perfectly at $1,000 volts on a line 81
miles in length. The engineers are par
ticularly well pleased with the be.
havior of the electric automatic ap.
pliances.
This new method of electric traction
is what is known as the hi~gh-tension
polyphase system, and the results OF
these tests have been awaited with
much interest by electric railway in
t~erests in general.

TO FLY TO NEW YORK.
Aeronaut GustRve whitehead, of Com

Recent Success. a

Gustave Whitehead, the inventor OF
the flying machine. of Bridgeport,
Conn, who recently flew half a mile
successfully, is now engaged in con-
structing q new machine, in which he
proposes to fly to New York. He said
the other day: "My success in flying
with the first model, which is rough
and cumbersome, has induced me to
build another machine, which will be
larger and strong enough TO carry two
men. / shall fly. to New York on my
next trial. / am confident that / can
fly that distance with my new machine,
I will then have my new acetylene-
chemical pressure generator ready. |
can carry enough calcium carbide,
which is the fuel used, to fly for 90
hours, That is more than enough to
fly to New York with. My present ma
chine / ann going to take to Atlantic
City to exhibit and shall demonstrate
its practicability there as being able to
carry a man."
Inventor Whitehead has received
scores of letters since the articles on
his successful fight were published
from scientific men in all parts of the
country asking all sorts of questions
and for descriptions of the machine.
He has two expert machinists now
working on the new machine and
money will not be spared in making it
the acme of lightness and strength.

U. S. AGAINST THE WORLD. :
Prof. sueus, Eminent PubIiciss and
PnleontOlogist, Our In
dustrial Preponderance. "a.

Prof. Edward Suess, the eminent
publicist and palaeontologist, has
given an interview respecting the in
dustrial and political preponderance
of the United States that attracts
much attention, especially as it con-
firms the anti-Ameriean views of con-
tinental manufacturers and econo-
mists.
The professor, surveying interna-
tional relations from the standpoint
of q political philosopher, observes
that while the French revolution was
accustomed by the abuses OF the privi-
legged classes the present situation has
been caused by a revolution of material
conditions. The declining national
sentiment should be replaced by a
movement for the common defense of
the central European states against
the American trusts which are moving
to conquer the foreign markets more
surely than they could be conquered
by battleships. The American balance
of trade has reached an unparalleled
figure. 1t was a serious question if the
present political units of central Eu-
rope were strong enough to make an
effective defense, taking into account
the physical conditions. The present
shifting of the center of gravity of the
, worlds forces would create three
great units-China, Russia and Amer
lea, When China was equipped with
railroads the people would find that
she had the most capable merchants
and the cheapest labor. Russia would
have the largest army and be the great
est peasant state. European capital
would flow to the United States and
would be an important increase of
her economic prosperity. OF the three
the United States had decidedly the
lead. Its policy was commercial ag-
gression, beyond doubt, and states like
the American union and Russia had
gained far more in the way of the mo
bilization of their powers from the
construction of railroads than such
countries as Germany and France.

JUST UF AMERICAN ARMY.H
In Proportion to ITS Size United states
Military Establishment LIS Most
Expensive in World.

In proportion to its size the Unit
ed States military establishment is
the most expensive in the world. Ac-
cording to the official notes of mill
tary interest prepared by Lieut.. Col.
Simpson it is shown that the cost of
maintaining one soldier in the Amer
ican army for one year is $1,o14. The
nearest approach to this is Germany
with s2o1. while Russia pays less than
any other government with $155 for
each man.
A comparative statement is made
which shows the effectiveness of the
different armies, the cost of main
tanning them for Il year, and the cost
of one soldier for the same period
1t is as follows:
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1902-08-26

An analysis of this table shows
that the American army, which is
conceded by military authorities to
be the best in the world for it's size,
costs STA, $780, 900 for 10000 men, while
the military establishment of France
costs a little over 100000 more,
or $124.491. 500 for maintaining an
army of 5s9,215, or nearly eight times
as large as that of the United States.
For only S27,072,s 500 more than is
paid by the United States Russia
maintains an army nearly ten times
larger than the American establish
ment, the number o. men being 1872
COS, costing Sal, 500. S25. For a great
deal less than half it costs to main
tain the American army Italy has an
establishment nearly three times as
large, and for a little more than
half of the expenses of keeping the
United States army in fighting shape
Austria has an establishment more
than four times larger.

MORE ILLINOIS TIMBER.
supply In the Last Fifty
Years.

"Along in the '40s,' said the old
farmer, states the Chicago Inter
Ocean, 1.-THE great fear of the people
in Illinois was that the timber in the
state would soon be exhausted and
that the land would become unin-
habitable. Our coal fields had not
yet been discovered and a new
try settling up as fast as ours was
at that time needs a great deal of
wood. Houses were to be built, farms
to fence, and the consumption of fuel
in the great f~ire-places of the day was
Many farmers began tree
planting, selecting as a rule the
quick-growing varieties, such as To-
cust and cottonwood poplar, and soft
maple. Still the consumption was
for a number of years greater than
the increase and there really seemed
a danger of a wood famine.
"After awhile, though, all thought
of this danger vanished. The devel-
| opment of our coal fields lessened
the demand for wood for fuel. The
invention of wire fence produced an
other saving in wood. while the use
of brick, stone and pine lumber for
house building diminished the de-
mand for native wood. OF course the
increase in population created a large
demand for lumber, but not sufficient
to create any scare.
To-day the farmer can, in many
localities, buy his coal for what it
would cost t. cut his wood. He
fences his farm with wire much more
cheaply than he could with wood,
and the network of railroads brings
almost to his door the sawed product
of the pine forests of the north ready
for the construction of house and
barn. The demand for native wood
is so small that it is estimated that
the supply of native timber in the
state is greater than it was so years
ago."

The women of Paris are just now

that the little creatures are valued at
from $50 to $25. When they become

When invited to spend the night at

toilet auxiliaries a set of clean sheets.
Really fastidious people do so. When

fitted by France with linen from the
stock of royal napery accumulated dur

The imperial guests calmly and quietly
directed their attendants to remove the
French linen and substitute for it the
pieces wrought with the arms of the
Romanoffs. This, it was explained to
their perplexed entertainers, was the
car and czarina's invariable custom,
and it seemed to them to be as impera-
tive a piece of refinement as the own
ing of individual toothbrushes. Now
