TO REvOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD
BY GAS ENGINE IGNITION.

Joshua Strothers, residing at 952 w.
Thirteenth street, has invented an
automatic electric igniter for gasoi,ne
automobiles. It dispenses entirely OF
all expense OF ignition of the present
day, such as hot tubes and bat teries.
Gas engine ignition is and has been
a problem Of the day, but it is at last
solved by Negro inventor.
Ignition up to this day in time is
very expensive, imperfect, and the
mode Of same unreliable This ma
chine is designed to generate q current
Of electricity directly from the motion
Of the engine of sufficient strength to
explode gasoline in same.
Mr.. Strothers has been working on
this machine for several years and
after several trials, having made two
others, the one now seems to accomp.
lish even more then the inventor
claims. 1t was patented last March.
Mr.. w. FL. Humburd, one Of our warthy
citizens is Interested and pushing the
young inventor who is 15 years old.
We are sorry that at this time we can
not print cut Of the inventor or the
invention.

Feud Exists In wyoming.

Wyoming has 35,0OO,000- acres OF
good grazing lands. There are about
100000 cattle and 100000 sheep in
the state. Between the cattle men
and sheep men exists feud that not
infrequently leads to murder. Sheep,
as you may or may not know, feed in
so close order that when flock has
fed over a range, not a spear OF grass
remains. Cattle browse at random,
and leave behind more than they eat,
SO that the range may provide susie
nance for two or three herds, one fol-
lowing the other.

An army officer who recently return
ed from our Pacific possessions says:
The Filipinos, whatever may be their
faults, make the best servants in the
world, If you can cure them Of petty
thievery. Overcome that, and you have
an ideal servant. At home here we
are confronted everlastingly by the
servant-glrl proposition. Bring the
Filipino men here and the servant girl
will be dead issue. The men are
small, active and not afraid Of work.
They could be trained to do general
houseworh, just as the Chinese do out
