Friends of Norman Craig and fami-
ly VIII be glad to hear OF . hit of f.
nancfal success that las lately come
to him. Some time ago, Mr.. Craig
invested in tract Of Louisiana rice
land between four ana five hundred
acres. Later he sold a piece of same,
making enough to pay for the cost Of
the entire acreage bought Last week
he sold another piece for $1,000 cash,
which is neat sum indeed to clear
above expense, and this as, we under
stand it, is but part of the profits
which will accrue to Mr., Craig from
his Observation-Disclosures Demo-
crat.
Mormon Craig was a Howard coun-
ty boy, growing to manhood at the old
town of Lime Springs. His wife was
a Lime Springs girl, Miss Alice Cary,
daughter of s. L. Cary. Mr.. Craig is
a practicing physician at Manchester.

MINDANAo's DEATH VALLEY.
A Large Depression Protected by 8
Covering of Poisonous Mist.

From the Denver Republican.
A. c. Carpenter of Chicago, who recently
returned from the Philippine Islands, Is in
Denver. For three years he has been roam
ing around in UNEMPLOYED and unciy1llZed
parts of the islands examining into the min
eral possibilities of the country. During his
visit to the Islands he represented Chi
cago company, to which he has but recent
ly made a report Of his observations In the
newly acquired territory. Of all the un-
paralleled things which he saw Mr.. Car
penter says that the ch-talked of Valley
Of Death in the island Of Mindanao Is the
most wonderful and mysterious
1.-The famous valley" he says, lis far in
land in this large island. The interior OF
the island is covered with mountains, and
there many indications of volcanic
eruptionS. After one range of mountains Is
crossed there is deep descent. This is the
edge of the valley. 1t looks like the rim Of
a great crater, but it is too large for that.
1t is surrounded by high mountains and
covers many square miles When crossing
the mountains the traveller sees a heavy
mist, similar to a fog, hanging over the
land beneath him. The mist is heavier and
darker than the most dense fog, and 1t has
never been known to clear away AS my
party of five went down the mountain side
we felt that we were approaching that mist.
1.-The air that we breathed was heavy and
foul. We knew that there were poisonous
feet which the air above had upon u.s. AS
was not out upon expedition to find out
how much suffering We could endure 1
called a halt long before we were in the
thick of the mist We decided at once to
return to the mountain tops and survey the
valley at distance l was anxious to make
some reports of the valley, for natives had
brought nuggets of gold from the neighbour
ing islands, which We're larger than any
that had ever before heard of. They said
that they had found these at the edge OF
the Valley of Death. No one has ever been
known to cross this strange valley, and sew
eral parties which have made the attempt
have failed and have been forced to return
to the mountains exhausted and sick. Many
people have been overcome by the poisonous
gases and have only been rescued by their
companions whose lungs were not so quick
ly affected
$50 far as l can understand l believe that
there must be some volcanic fssure some
where in the valley, and from this is con-
stantly pouring forth the poisonous vapor
which ever hangs over the valley. From
descriptions of other volcanic gases l be-
lieve that this is the explanation of the mist
which hangs over the Valley of Death

WAR ON CONSUMPTION.
Efforts Making in Other Countries to
Extirpate White Plague.

From the Buffalo News.
1t is recognized that among the discred-
liable features of modern civilization the
one least to be endured, or accounted for,
is the prevalence of fatal diseases With
members of the human race who eat the
wrong thing, or persist in a course that
ultimately is fatal to the human life, that
is understood and illustrated daily. But
that there should be fatality running into
scores and scores of thousands from con-
disease is. to say the least, disgrace to
the civilization of the day
The cause as we'll as the cure of cancer
Is unknown, but the origin of consumption
Is understood, and it is therefore not other
wise than to the reproach of the times that
1t should claim so many thousands of VIC
tins every year Such a fatality in a great
army would lead men to hold UP their
hands in horror at the slaughter. But we
are used to 1t. We think of it as a matter
of course. We regard it as the inevitable
and we submit in alf-apologetic,. shame
raced sort OF way to the ravages of this
disease.
1t Is but good sense and in accordance
with the inclinations of humanity that in
tell1gent efforts are making now to eradi-
cate this group of diseases. A foreign au-
thority predicts that Prussia will be exempt
Will be exempt from it within a few years
after that time, while the case of America
he still regards as hopeless. The basis of
TINS prediction is in the returns of mortality
statistics, showing that the death rate in
Prussia within few years has fallen from
tWenty-sfX to nineteen in the thousand of
cases of fatal disease while it has fallen
nearly as much In England and shows a
very marked gain for exemption in other
countries of western Europe. In America
the statistics indicate that pulmonary dis
ease is increasing, proportionately to popu-
laton, rather than diminishing
Few experts longer regard it as hered-
1tary. No one need feel obliged to die of
consumption because AN immediate ances-

community is familiar now with instances

AUTOMANIA.
Speed Madness Induces Boastfulness,
Hatred and Violence.
From the Horseless Age.

From the Horseless Age.
The conviction is gaining ground among
scientific men that indulgence in extraor-
binary speeds of transition voluntarily con-
trolled breeds in the human species a form
Of disease capable of development to the de-
gree Of delirium. The disease is generally
referred to as the speed craze or speed ma
MIA. By rather strange coincidence a dis
cussion of this subject took place at the
6ociete de Hydrologic ct de Psychologist, in
Paris only few days before the tragic
death Of Zborowski. One of the speakers.
DR.. Hachet-Souplet. maintained that per-
sons in position to increase their speed of
transition at will are simply carried aWay
by the consciousness thereof They have
no longer control Of themselves thew are
intoxicated. They then develop character
istics which are foreign to them when in
the normal Observation-Disclosures, combatfye-
ness, crabbedness. hatred. mischieyousness
and violence. These characteristics vary in
form and degree. but may attain a maxi
mum in the cyclist and automobilist
According to Dr. Berillon there is q
strong analogy between the delirious intoxf-
cation of speed and that of morphine Those
who indulge in abnormal speed simply for
its own sake and without any useful object
in view are mostly degenerates. devoid of
all self-restraint and having absolutely no
control over themselves. They may some
times be seen to dash furiously against
even the most insignificant obstacles.

Danger In Milk.
From the London Chronicle

FROM the LONDON chronicle.
We are approaching the time of year
when. with warmer weather, the infants of
our great cities begin to die in their thou
sands from acute milk poisoning Some
months ago attention was drawn in these
columns to the infantile m >rtality-one in
six In the first year of 1fe-that prevails In
this country; due in the main to improper
feeding. The axiom was also laid down
that uncooked milk is an unsafe food. Now
the British Medical Journal is publishing
a series of articles on the milk supply OF
our large towns. with the hope of drawing
public attention to the facts we have stated.
Next week our contemporary will follow
Queen Alexandra to Copenhagen and de-
scribe the methods employed in that city,
where the handling of milk has reached the
final stage Of scientific cleanliness. When
shall we realize generally in this country
(as they do, for instance, at Battersea) the
significance of the fact that the profess
sional bacteriologist employs milk, for
choice, as the best medium upon which to
grow his cultures of disease producing
germs?

Nata1,s Native Labor Question.

Natal Correspondence Of the London Chronicle.
That nightmare, the native question, af-
fects Natal and Durham more particularly
to a most alarming extent. 1t is estimated
that 10000 natives left the town at the
scare of the plague, and up to the present
only about half that number have returned.
Trade has suffered severely in consequence
of this sudden shortage of labor, goods
Dcannot be unloaded in the harbor, building
and other kindred trades are practically at
a standstill, and the commercial and do
nestle inconvenience is very great. But
the worst part of it is that the native al
ready inflated with an overweening impu-
dence and sense of his own Importance,
owing to our criminally absurd treatment
of him during the Boer war, has now be-
come absolutely unbearable. The Katir
question is one with many subtle ramifca-
tons. and it hangs like dark cloud loom
ing ominously and threateningly on the
horizon of South African politics. None but
old colonials, men who have fought the
zulus together and even allied with the
Beers against them. can appreciate the
gravity Of it, and they do not speak very
hopefully on this subject.

preparation known as litho-transfer ink.
The paper is then transferred to a special
kind of limestone suitable for the purpose,
and the stone Is moistened and etched in
the usual way, as already explained and is
then ready for use.
The process of using engraved plates is
the most satisfactory and gives the most
perfect specimens. 1t is used in printing all
the standard works The plates are mostly
made of zinc and are about one-sixteenth
Of an inch in thickness. The tools used In
this system are many and varied, consist
ing OF eraverS puncherS, chiselS hammers
and scrapers and many others correspond
Ing mostly to the type characters in font
of music type.
The first step in the process is to cut the
lines of the slaves. This is done with an
instrument containing five sharp gravers
which are drawnt across the plate until all
the slaves requisite are engraved. The
punchers are then used. These instru-
mentS, made OF the finest possible STEEL
which correspond in shape to clefs, sigma
lures and note heads, forced into the
plate by means of a stroke of hammer,
thus making an impression in the place
where the note head or other character is
required.
In the case of a correction being made in
the plate the wrong notes are punched
pack into position from the back of the
plate and the correct notes repunched. The
gravers are used for the purpose of filling
In the stems, ties, slurs and other charac-
tiers requiring delicate manipulation. The
scrapef is then passed over the surface OF
the plate to remove any burrs that may be
found. When all the necessary characters
have been engraved as described the plate
Is subjected to pressure by steel block,
after which the surface is cleaned, in the
same manner as copper plate, that is. by
dipping the palm of the hand into whiting

WORKMAN OF ENGLAND.
Dipping Farther Back Into Mire of
Feudalism,
From the London News.


These travelling workmen (the Moseley
commission) seem to have come back with
very much the same advice on their Inns
as the Prince of Wales after his tour
around the world. 1t is, England wake
up! While our great offspring across the
Atlantic Is developing mighty community
OF 1ree and equal white men, We are Slip
ping further back into the mire of feudal-
ISM Our classes are growing further apart
Instead Of combining to revive our indus
tries, employers and employed seem to be
more divided than ever. Sheltered behind
managers and foremen on the one side, and
behind trade unions on the other they
glover at one another like armies at war
Would any one believe that they were en-
gagged in common enterprise? That thew
were really parts Of the same army? Mu-
tual recrimnations fill the air, and when
the nation should be moved by a common
impulse it is torn asunder by conflicting
passions.
The strength of America lies In the deyo-
ton of the national resources to the com
mon well-being. But here it is always a
class, and not the nation, which is to be
helped. Education is sacrificed to the
church. Temperance Is thrown to the
brewers. Taxes are placed upon food and
the proceeds distributed between the land
lords and the parsons. The workman is
the last man to be considered in all this
IL
very failings. If he is ignorant-aIl the
better. Let him remain so. He will be
easier to govern. II he is drunken, then
heaven forfend that we should remove the
cause. A sober man might claim his
rights; but a drunken man is always a fool,
The elevation Of the masses Is contrary to
the instinct of a people whose ruling prin-
ciple is caste. 1t is better that they should
remain a mob. But the trade unionists
who have visited the United States will not
be content with this doctrine They will
be able to preach to their fellow workmen
the sovereign remedy Of equality. They
will be able to tell them of a country
where every workman carries. so to speak
the marshars baton IN his knapsack The
Iantic. We will not for moment admit
that the British workman is any worse
than the American. But he works in n
stale and exhausted environment, and his
energies are hampered by laws and GUS
toms which are part of an obsolete order.
Let him be treated Ike man, and he will
behave like a man. Interest him in the
daily work Of his factory. and he will grow
in intelligence and power to be the equal
of his American brother.
