Une Importante Invention

I Montr6al-Lundi dernier ct
lieu la premiere experience publ.
que de linvention de M. Louis La.
coste, pour arreter la marche dun
navire dams sa plus grande vitesse
en- cas- d d'obstacle sur la, route ou
en- cas- d'accident.
Lappareil est des plus simples,
ce qui est une garantie du success
de Invention. Il s'agit supplement
de portes s'ouvrant a angle droit
sur les flames du navire.
Ces portes sont appuy6es lar
riere par des bras de fer, qui eux-
, memes reposent sur des COUSINS
d'eau "water cushion ce qui en-
| r6che les portes de s'ouvrir avec
fracas ct de Sc briser ou de briser
les cot6s du navire.
Ces portes sont man@uvr6es de
la chambre meme du pilote au mo-
yen de clefs qu'on tire a volont6
suivant qu'on veut ouvrir la porte
de droite ou de gauche ou les deux
ensemble,
La premiere experience a 6t6
de lancer le bateau d toute vitesse
ct d'ouvrir les portes simultan6-
ment en- arretant la machinerie: le
r6sultat ne Sc fit pas longtemps at
tendre; car sans choc nj secousse
aucune, il s'arreta dams la longueur
c'est-a-dire environ 100 pieds, au
grand 6tonnement ct q ladmiration
de tous les gems a bord.
La seconde experience fut de
lancer de nouveau le bateau a toute
vitesse ct d'ouvrir simultan6ment
les deux portes, mais en- renversant
cette fois la machinerie; le bateau
s'arreta alors dams la moiti6 de sa
longueur.
La troisief experience fut d'ou
vrir une seule porte faisant tou-
Jours courir le bateau plelne vi
tesse; sans meme pencher le moin.
drement, il tourna dams un circuit
dun diametre d'a peu pres So Ion
gueur.
La quatrieme experience a etc
faite en- plein courant Ste-Marie,
don't on conna1t la rapidit6. On ou-
writ les portes ensemble sans me-
me arretef la machinerie et te. ba=
teau s'arreta presqu' 'instantane-
ment.
Cette dern1ere experience, la
plus ser1euse de toutes, puisqu'ei-
le await pour but de tester la solidi-
t6 du sys4Sme ez4 faisant agir con-
tre ces portes la force du courant
ct celle de Ia machinerie soulev6
Padmiration -g6n6rale, en- voyant
qu'on arrivait touJours au meme
r6sultat satisfaisant sans embarras
aucun, quelle que fut la force du
courant ou la vitesse du navire.
Plusleurs autres experiences ont
6t6 faites avec un meme success, ct
au dire des ing6nieurs que 6talent
presents, sill y await eu un moyen
de briser ou de d6molir les portes
ou les fans du navire lis lauraient
6t6 dams ces experiences.

Wonderful SCHOOL. FUNDS
Provided For 0klahoma'S Public
School System
SURPRISING. ANY STATE.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct s.7-There are
little over two and half million acres
of land reserved for the public school
fund. This land is leased by the quar-
ter section and the income derived
therefrom is devoted to the support of
the common schools and the higher
institutions of learning, and the income
from section 30 is set aside for what is
called the public building fund. In the
large tract of land known as the Kiowa,
Comanche and Apache country, four
sections in each township, namely,
sections lG, SO, l3 and 33, were reserved
for the public school fund.
The last figures, given out by the
territorial auditor said: There are
l,376, ,4SO acres (s,6O3 quarter sections)
yielding an income of about S295, 900
for the common schools
Think of it; a quarter of million of
dollars for public schools without taxa.
ton.
'There are. 3rs.9S0 acres Il ,056 quar-
ter sectionsl yielding an income of
$4,000 yearly devoted to the colleges
There are 3o6.24o acres Il ,914 quarter
sections) yielding an annual income of
$35 900 for what is known as the public
building school fund"
There. is now in the treasury over
Sl5o,0oo in the public building fund
and tbiS il hpinu added IN nOXy nt thp
rate of S35, 900 annually. ALL or nearly
all, of the expense of building the
several institutions will be saved TO
the people of Oklahoma. When the
territory is admitted as state, sec
tions 81 can be sold. There are in
sections 80, 3O6, ,94O acres which sold at
$40 per acre would mean over three
million dollars secured to build the
penal. corrective and charitable insti-
tutions of Oklahoma, without taxing
the people.
This matter of light taxation is
worthy of considera tion for the schools
of Oklahoma have no superior.
Take the Territorial Normal school
at Edmond. for instance; everything is
free. Drawing is free, all the labora-
tory work is without fees of any kind.
Stenography and typewriting is free.
Music is free. In the music department
not only is the piano course free, but
but there is no charge for instructions
on stringed or band instruments.

HARD LINES FOR MINERS,
Interior Department Holds up all Miner
al Lenses In Creek Nation.

Washington. Oct. 3.--1he Interior
Department has handed down "A decis-
ion holding up all mineral leases in the
Creek Nation thus far negotiated. The
decision is a severe blow to capitalists .
in st. Louis and other western cities
who have invested large sums of money
in the development of oil and coal
fields in the Nation
Prior to the enactment of the Greek
treaty oil and coal leases had been
secured and large sums of money spent
in developing coal and oil properties.
A number of valuable coal mines are
now in operation in the vicinity of Red
Fork, and oil wells, are being sunk in
the same locality. The operations at
present are going on under contracts
made with members of the nation who
have made their selections. These
selections, however,. have not been ,ap-
proved by the Dawes commission, and
probably will not be for six months to
come. Patents to the allottees vill be
issued some time within the next year.
but until this occurs no individual
leases for the mining of coal and oil
are of any validity whatever.

He came 10 Wichita in 1876 and bought
2 quarter section of land of Michael Bloch

Mav "a q Millionaire.

Just TOW Frank Israel is the most talk
I'd of man in Wichita. People going along
north Main street stop and look into the
little machine shop where he is at work.
They see a little neavy set man with a
profusion of black hair standing out in
every direction on his big round head
working diligently. a. machine. This
IS Frank Israel perfecting some piece Of
machinery used in the manufacture Of his
seeded string.
The idea is abroad that this Wichita
man is coming millionaire and that in
the very near future there viii be an i'm
mense factory i'm this city making the
seeded string of which Mr.. Israel is the
inventor. The idea of planting an kinds
Of little garden seeds in paper string
straight in q row and every seed at Il
certain. distance apart is something new.
People who have had experience with pat
mt rights say that this VIII prove the
most profitable invention of this age
and that FRANK Israel has millions within
his reach.
The agricultural papers all over the
country have written of this invention
AID Mr Israel is unable to answer the
great numbers Of letters he is getting
asking for further Information about his
invention. Even the cotton planters Of
the south are writing to know if he can
put up cotton seed in a seeded string so
as TO obviate the necessity Of thinning
the cotton and of course he could.
Frank Israel is Il natural genius in the
matter Of inventing machinery. He has
Invented several and threw them away
because when he came 10 use them he
saw that they could easily be infringed
Upon and the work done by some other
process. but when he saw his seeded
string completed he went to his brothers
and said: Here is something that can
never be accomplished by any other meth
Cd. am going TO secure patent on
This and manufacture this seeded string.
And people want 10 see the man who first
thought of such a thing and then they
wonder that somebody never thought
