MACHINES SEEM TO THINK.
Marvellous Effectiveness of the
Dredges Used in the Great
Lakes.

The home of the dipper dredge is
on the great lakes. There it -four
ished and in the smaller sizes and in
non-tidal fresh water at 20 feet depth
was marvelously efficient. A good
wooden dredge of ten years ago,
which cost, say, $4,000, would do
1900 or 1900 cubic yards per ten
hours, with a crew of six men. on
three tons of coal, says the Engineer
ing Magazine.
1t could lift its spuds, move up and
reset again in 80 seconds. 1t stands
alone like a table on it's legs, with
no moorings TO obstruct navigation.
By means of it's dipper on the bottom
it can move itself about crab-fashion
in any direction, and by the same
means can push the barges about
which it is loading. 1t can maneuver
itself in any direction, load scows,
dig foundations, pull piles, lay con-
crete blocks, deposit back-filing, lift
powders, raise wrecks, dredge hard
or soft material, and do nearly every
thing but vote. It's great simplicity
made it light in repairs. With tools
like these, and suitable for their
work, the marvel is not that Ameri-
can contractors do not use the big
and costly European ladder dredges,
but that these useful American tools
do not find a wider recognition IN
Europe and abroad.

TUNNEL HELPS DIG ITSELF.
Great Bore Under the Alps DIS
charges Water Enough to
Furnish Drill Power.

In the new Simplon tunnel under
the Alps, which will be by far the
greatest tunnel in the world, having a
length of IA miles, and which, it is now
reported, will be completed in July,
1905, the quantity of water flowing out
of the southern end, from the many
veins encountered in the heart of the
mountain, amounts to $4,000 gallons
per minute, and furnishes sufficient
power to compress the air by which
the drills are worked, and to refrig-
crate the tunnel. The necessity of re-
frigeration may be judged from the
fact that the heat in the deeper parts
of the tunnel rises as high as 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit when not artifcially
reduced, says the Scientific American.
Life would be impossible in the tunnel,
where 1000 workmen labor, if a sue
cessful system of refrigeration had not
been devised. When a continuous hole
through the mountain has been made,
then the temperature can more cas-
lily be kept down. Two-thirds of the
work was completed last July, and the
greatest obstacles have now been over
come

LIGHTNING STRIKES UP.
The Earth Becomes Charged with
Negative Current Which
RusheS Upward.

The cadse of death by lightning is
the sudden absorption of the electric
current. When a thundercIoud, which
is highly charged with positive cleo
tricity, hangs over any certain place,
the earth beneath it becomes abnor-
mally charged with the negative cleo
trio current, and a man. animal or
other object standing or lying directly
beneath also partakes of the last
mentioned influence, says scientific
authority. If, while the man, animal
or other object is in this condition, a
discharge takes place from the cloud
above, the restoration of the equilib-
rum will be sudden and violent. or.
IN language that we can all under
stand, the negative current from the
earth will rush up to join the positive
cloud current, and in passing through
the object which separates the two
currents, if it be an animate thing, will
do so with such force as to almost in
.variably produce instant death. A
person is really Struck" by the
ground current, and not by the forked
fury from above.

PLUToCRACY OF PITTSBURG.
Purse-PrOud Younger Generation
Forget What Their Fathers
Might Have Been.

Pride is feature of the younger
generation of Pittsburgers of wealth
Things of which some of them think
they cannot be proud-such as the
way in which their Woodworking
fathers got their start in life-they
try to forget. That the fathers are
sometimes proud of this same low
ly start is responsible for this Incl
dent:
do you know, young man, that ]
once was very envious of your
father?" said one of the steel kings
to the son of a man whose wealth,
while great, could be written with
one less figure, says writer in the
New York Tribune.
"And when was that?" asked the
young man, pleased to think that
there had ever been a time when the
king" envied his father.
cit was this way" returned the
old man. 81 was working in a ditch
for $3.50 a day
Il didn't know you started that
way" interrupted the youth.
That's the way. 1 was working
in this ditch for $3.50 a day, and
your father was working in the same
ditch. He got $1.75 because he was
stronger, and envied him the extra
quarter"

DOMESTIcATED LEoPARDS.
south African Region Where the Ma
tfves Tame the Animals and
Make Use of Them.

Upogoro, in German East Africa,
says The Sphere, has only recently
come into prominence. The whole
country is mountainous in character,
and several peaks attain an altitude
of $500 feet.
One of the drawbacks of the country
is the presence in large numbers of
wild animals, chief among which is
the leopard. Although sparing the
Europeans, yet he does not fear to
burst into the native huts and seize
any human being who may be within
reach Should he not succeed in eff
fecting an entrance. he lies in wait
until some unfortunate native ven
lures out.
If there is a goat pen or a chicken
roost, he satisfied himself there, but
failing this fears not to attack the in
habitants. Once satisfied, he retires
to his lair, and. being tracked, often
falls prey to the European rife.
X Young leopards are often caught
Ivy the natives, and are bartered for
money or articles of clothing. These
are sometimes tanned, and though not
so trustworthy as the dog, yet throw
off their wild nature, and are utilized
for practical purposes.
They are used for drawing light
carts, and it is by no means uncom-
mon to see them harnessed TO the
mountain guns, which they pull along
with the utmost facility.

Facts from Birth Statistics.

Recently compiled statistics slow
that the proportion of twins born as
compared with other infants is one
in eighty births. Of triplets there
is only one instance in 6,400, and
bankruptcies are as one to $4,000;
while the chances of a quintet are
even more remote, the ratio being
one in '4O,9sO,OOO births. A case is
known of a woman who presented
her husband with seven successive
triplets.

Unexpected frankness now ana
humor of situate in congress
When "Gabe" Bouck was the repre-
sentative from the Oshkosh district
of Wisconsin, a pension bill came
before the house, to his great vexa-
ton of spirit; for, while his personal
convictions were directly opposed to
it, his political interests were strong
enough to whip him into line. On
the day the bill came up for final
disposal fellow member met Bouck
in the space behind the last row of
seats, walking back and forth and
gesticulating excitedly, bringing his
clenched right fist down into the
hollow of his left hand, to the accom-
paniment of explosives which would
hardly look well in print, writes
Francis E. Leupp in "Some Humors
of Congress-"
"What's the trouble, Gabe?" in
quired his friend. "Why all this ex-
eSiement?"
''Trouble?" snorted the irate law
maker. Trouble enough! That
[ pensioak bill is up. and all the cow
ardly Hincompoops in the house are
going to vote for it. It's sure to pass
sure to pass"
"But why don't you get the floor
and speak against it-try to stop
it?" suggested the other.
"Try to stop it?" echoed Bouck.
"Try to stop it? Why, I'm one OF
the cowardly nincompoops myself"

A THREATENING EVIL.
the Seats Of Too Many Senators Are
Obtained by Corrupt
Practices.

1t is the popular habit to attack
the senate of the United States with
general condemnation. This is mis-
leading, says a writer in Century.
An honest man, who knows the SEN
ate intimately in all its workings,
the other day said of it that any
such sweeping attack had the mex
actness of caricature, the fact being
that the senate contains a group of
well-equipped and disinterested pub
lie men who have become experts"
N governmental questions, and who
get through in the course of the year
IAN immense amount of useful pub
lie business"
There is much truth in this. But
the other thing is true also, that
state after state, and some of our
Oldest states, are represented by men
whom it is a loss of reputation to
associate with intimately; who got
their seats by Corrupt practices" of
one kind or another; and whose
presence in the senate is an adver-
tisement of the low tone of the state
machines" and legislatures, through
whose corrupt management, or vir-
tual purchase, they obtained their
honorable" seats. And a low-toned
senator or representative means, as
rule, low class of federal appoint
ments IN the states or districts thus
represented; for it is a part of the
miserable situation that every means
is taken to deceive the appointing
powers as to the real character of
those recommended by corruptionists
to Office.

alnony.the different farmers along the
line, We believe share being held at

will have the telephone put In his

There are two things the city
council ought to do right away and
that is to pass an ordinance prohi-
biting COWS from running OH our
streets during business hours.
The other is the appointment Of a
night Waterman. As to the for
mer, on Thursday lady from the
country brought in some eggs to
market, and while she was in the
store negotiating for the same, a
COW came along and got to rum
aging in the wagon and destroyed |
all of the eggs. Such a thing is
very exasperating and a disgrace
to the town, and if the council will
not pass such All ordinance our
business men should compel them
to do it or ask for their resignation.
As to the night Waterman, a petit
ton was presented to the council,
at their meeting this week, signed
by leading business men, asking
for the appointment Of such. For
some reason or other the council
refused to consider the petition at
this meeting, laying it over until
the next. We cannot see what
the council means. It has cut off
our Waterman just when he was
needed, has made the town lose
prestige on account Of cattle vUn-
ming 1T large and will, unless sdihe
change ID made, subject us TO heavy
loss and damage. The honorable
council had better look after the
interests of the town and So that

salary was provided for each town

idea is erroneous. Practically all
the townships come within the first
