Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1903-11-06

Franklin Farrell, Jr., of Ansonia,
Conn, has gone to work in his fathers
foundry at salary Of 81 per week.
His father is a millionaire tool manu-
facturer, and Frank has begun at the
bottom as tool sharpener. Being
asked why he, milllonaires son, has
gone to work at manual labor, he re-
piled: Wealth is no excuse for idle
ness" But why didn't you go into
your fathers office instead Of q greasy
shop at 81 a week." The young man
said he wanted to learn the trade be-
fore he attempted to direct Its opera
tions. 1.-The men who make the inven-
tions, the men who make 1t possible
for America to beat the world In man
ufacturing are the practical mechan-
les" He was further asked how 1t felt
for university graduate and man
Of wealth to take orders from a me-
chanic How shall I give orders some
day If l do not take them now
Would General Grant have been able
to command men had he not, when a
young soldier, groomed his own horse p
Splendid! The industrial supremacy
Of this country is in no danger as long
as the Franklin Farrels are engaged.
This young American is not above His
business He will master it in all it's
details, SO that when he is at the head
of it the business will not master him.
In this connection note an incident OF
]. j. Hill, the railroad magnate. A
wreck occurred on his road. Mr.. Hill
was in his special car with other Off
Gals. He took off his coat and as
sumed command Of the wrecking
operations. He not only directed, but
heaved with the crew, putting his
shoulder to the obstacles. The wreck
was soon cleared away. Mr.. Hill knew
what to do. He had mastered his bust
ness. 1t is said he knows more about
his line Of railroad than all the other
officials put together. In consequence
makes 1t possible to pay dividends
where other railroad men said divi-
dends are impossible. Master your
business, young man! If millionaire's
son cannot afford to take chances with
out knowing every detail Of his fac
tory, how can you, poor boy, hope
to succeed by less energetic effort? If
]. J. Hill, with all his money, must
know everything about his business,
how can you hope to get ON by slip
shod methods? The old law Of the sur
vival Of the fittest holds. The ignorant
and inefficient go to the rear. The mas
tiers go to the front.

height on a wooden framework. The
prisoners are so high up in the air that
any attempt to escape would mean al
most certain death. The prison has
but one door, which Is reached by
stairway on the side opposite the preci-
pice. This side Of the prison, however,
Is occupied by the prison officers, the
cells of the convicts being located
opposite. Although the structure has
been built for several years, thus far
no one has ever escaped from it for
obvious reasons.

POOR FLAVOR, ANYWAY.

Farmer Did Not Care for Macaroni
That Would Not Boil Soft.
When General Miles visited Calves
ton he inspected Fort San Jacinto
One Of the men who have the ammuni-
ton magazine in charge was standing
at the door of the place, says the Gal
weston News, holding In his hand two
little strips of something that looked
like macaroni
whats that? asked General Miles
Don't you know, General, what that
Isl" said the government official.
Don't believe l do" said the Gen.
eral, examining piece of the stuff.
That's the powder we use in that
rifle there" he said, pointing to one
Of the guns.
Nobody laughed so heartily as the
General himself at the very ridiculous
idea Of the head Of the United States
army not knowing what powder was
when he saw it.
One Of the officers then said, "That
stuff is put up in these boxes you see
over In that corner there When the
storm hit this fort and scattered our
guns and ammunition all over south
Texas, 1t became necessary for us to
send out an officer to locate and re-
cover as much as possible.
Zone day, while in discharge Of this
duty, he came upon an old farmer up
the bay somewhere, who had been
picking up what he could find over in
his section of the State The officer
found several Of these boxes stacked
away In the old mans larder aud in
the name of Uncle Sam he proceeded
to seize them.
HE got wagon and Loaded the stuff
on 1t. AS he was leaving the place the
old man sang out, with some degree
of satisfaction, Take your old maca-
roni! Its no good, anyway! Mary
boiled some whole day, and it tasted
like mnlev"

WHALES DIVE DEEP.
Something About the Habits Of the
Ocean Monsters.

Something About the Habits OF the
Ocean Monsters.
Both whalers and naturalists have
usually held that when whales sound"
they descend to great depths. One
writer on the subject estimates that
the larger members of the group dive
fully thousand yards. In a memoir
published In Belgium DIR. Racovitza
challenges this belief, and states that,
In his opinion, 100 yards is the maxi
mum depth to which any whale can
dive, and that many species cannot
reach anything like that limit. Says
the writer:
Why should wales want to go to such
depths? All whales sound for the
purpose of obtaining food, and in the
profound darkness OF 1000 yards what
food could they get? Those species
which feed on anmalcules. might, per-
haps, obtain what they want But how
about the species which feed on fishes
and cuttles? At depth Of thousand
yards they certainly could not use their
eyes to detect non-luminous species,
and we have no evidence whatever
they feed on the self Luminous deep-sea
fish and cuttles; IL, indeed, there be
any Of the latter. On the contrary, the
available evidence indicates that they
feed on ordinary, light-dwelling fishes
and cuttles which live In much shall
lower zones. But this Is not all. 1t is
known that the effects of pressure
of more than three atmospheres prove
fatal to human life; and, although we
may believe that whales can stand
treble this pressure, or nine atmes-
pheres, which would occur at about
ninety yards depth, is it conceivable
that they could resist the effect OF ten
times the latter pressure, or ninety
atmospheres? Moreover, does 1t seem
possible that whale, whose body Is
only slightly heavier than water at
ordinary pressure, could exert the mus
cular force necessary to propel that
body to a depth Of thousand yards?
DR.. Racovitza contends further that
whales never sleep. One Of his argu-
ments is that individuals will follow a
ship for days, which they could not
well do while asleep.-Knowledge.

Protection eff Cork Trees

SO much cork is now used in the
manufacture Of linoleum and in ship
building that the protection of cork
trees has become matter of prime i'm
portance. Italy is taking steps to this
end in Sicily and Sardinia, where there
are large cork forests, those of Gala,
bria having been nearly destroyed in
the making of charcoal. 1t is said that
Spain is showing like interest in pro
tecting these trees, as the manufac-
ture of corks is large industry there
Only few years ago the expectation
OF wine bottle corks from that country
amounted to about 100000 annually.

A DISTINGUISHED P7ELATE
Was Arch bishop Kahn of st. Louis
Who Passed Away Tuesday.

A powerful factor in the govern
ment of the Catholic Church in the
United States passed away recently
in the death at Baltimore Of Most Rev.
John Joseph Kahn, archbishop or st.
Louis. For more than generation he
exercised a commanding influence in
the church and was one Of its most
Jealous and eloquent opponents.
He was born in Maritnsburg, w.
Va, in 1871. His father died when he
was very young, leaving four small
children, and the future archbishop
had to go to work to help his mother
and three little sisters. At the age Of
10 he was enabled to enter st. Mary's
College, Baltimore, and in 1866 he was
ordained priest. He was first station
ed at Harper's Ferry, but for several
years had charge Of missions scattered

had left his missionary field almost
desolate and with his own hands he
repaired dilapidated buildings, gather
ing together and inspiring his scat
tered and demoraliZed flock. In 1875
he was raised to the bishopric OF
Wheeling and his abilities displayed
there led to his promotion to the see
at st. Louis There for two decades
or more he became conspicuous as one
of the brainiest and best beloved heads
Of his church. In 1884 he held the
Office Of promoter in the Plenary Coun-
ell held at Baltimore. In 1896 he was
asked to offer the prayer at the open
ing of the Republican national conven-
ton, and he has numbered among his
friends the leading representatives of
both the two great political parties.
