Colorado ExcelS dn These and Wall
 Show Them at St Louis. Colorado with $12O,O0O to expend in the collection and display of her ex- hibits at the worlds fair, and in erect ing state pavilion, has entered upon the work with a zeal. certain to bring great results.
 On commanding site on the pla- teau of states, skirted by the intra- mural railway, is the structure of that great western State. building of Spanish renaissance architecture, two stories high, yet presenting a massive appearance. Broad steps in the center of the main facade lead to a porch that runs nearly the entire length of the Building, and from which visitors may view the Exposition grounds by looking through nine large archways. The porch on the second floor is open. low square tower rises above the main entrance, and thds is surmounted by low dome
 On the first floor will be a reception and banquet room and offices for the executive staff. also cloak and toilet rooms. The second floor will contain bed rooms and a hospital room.
 In all of the great palaces, Colo rado's Commissioners have obtained large allotments of floor space and are preparing to occupy them with repre- sentative exhibits. In the Mines and Metallurgy palace, Colorado's ores will reveal the states wealth in mine rals In the agriculture palace large variety of products of the soil will be shown. In forestry, fish and game will be as attractive an exhibit as put forward by any state in the union.
 Timber from mountain and lowland will be so treated as to show all of the valuable lumber intrests. The streams of Colorado abound with fish that make it one of the most popular sum- mer resorts, and these members of the fnny tribe will be transferred to great tanks for the visitors pleasure.
 Senator SWink, who is the agricult- ural head of the commission is per fecting arrangements whereby Colo rado will take a leading part in the IT. rigation demonstration which has been planned by Chief Taylor to be made on the northern edge of the agricult- ural reservation.
 The bookkeeping industry of Colo rado is one of great importance, and a very comprehensive apiary exhibit will be made. The bees will be con- fined in glass cases, and visitors may watch the insects at work, yet have no fear of being stung.
 Colorado will make Melon Day" at the Worlds Fair memorable, for it is proposed on one day during the season to ship train of thirty refrigerator cars, loaded with the famed cantel- oupes from Rocky Ford. Busy yourself for minute with pencil and paper. There are forty y-fivemelons to a crate, and three hundred crates to a car, so this train will carry nearly half million melons to the Worlds Fair, and they will all be given to visitors on day to be selected by Senator Swink, and Frederick w. Taylor, Chief of Agriculture.

No person has done more to mislead MT Roosevelt on great questions than has MT Root, the secretary of war, says writer in a New York paper. When the country saw MT Folger re tire from that important post it was with a deep sense of satisfaction. But it has found that it has scanty reason for this feeling. MT Root has not the the two there is not so much choice. His unfiinching and sometimes unscru- pulous imperialism have made him a power for evil in our history. He has contradicted without hesitation charges whc-e truth has been proved even to the satisfaction of republicans generally. Instead of retracting or apologizing, he has added new offenses to the old, and his suppression of Gen. eral Miles's report to the last minute that it could be withheld from the pub lie constitutes a unique chapter in the history of our government. I can re call no case of cabinet officer treating the public with so little ingenuousness or candor. Even MT Folger was not capable of it. It is true that Mir Root is to go, but he signalizes his departure by the summary and contemptuous dismissal of General Miles from the command of the army. No transaction of MT Roosevelt's administration has excited more indignation among right thinking people than this. Compared with the laudatory effusiveness which the war department accompanied the departure of far smaller and less use ful officers, the order is unmistaka- bly, spiteful in its brevity and, its si- lence.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1903.

Appropos of King Edwards recent visit to Ireland it is said that his majesty's attention was attracted or directed to a small steamboat packed with sorrowing Irish men, wonaen and children leaving their native land for ever. Yet if King Edward were dis posed to learn he could learn more about Ireland from that object lesson, that would interest him if he were a friend of Ireland, than he could learn from all the addresses presented to him by the loyalists. If he took the trouble to inquire he would obtain the information very proper for him to have, claiming to be king of Ireland, that during his own time the Irish population has decreased by one-half At the time of his birth it was more than eight millions; 1t is now little more than four. What is the explana- tion of the decrease-the only popula- ton decrease during the same time in any country in the world where a cen sus is taken? If the explanation be not bad government what is it? That it is bad government the Daily News correspondent recognizes in it's illustra- ton of ''the evil genius that has brood ed over this fair land for so many cen turies?'' The land is ''fair"-fair and fertile as any on earth. An authority the greatest authority-on its Indnstrial Resources (Sir Robert Kane) says in his book so-called, that Ireland lis capable under proper man. agement of supporting 2O,O0O,000 souls" Under British -''the evil genius"-Tit does not support five mil lions.

mum is only 167 pounds per cubic foot, so that for equal weights the bulk of the latter is 3.33 times that of the former metal. Hence, for equal resistance, the weight of an aluminium is only one-half as great as that of copper wire of the same length. From this fact it is evident that when the price per pound Of aluminium is any less than twice the like price of copper, the former is the cheaper metal for transmission line of any required length and electrical resistance.

Aluminium, says writer in the En- gineering Magazine is fast busting copper. Lines of that material are now employed for the three longest America. Tn the longest single line,
 that from Electra power house to San Francisco, a distance of 154 miles,
 aluminium is the only conductor used. The 144-mile transmission between Colgate and Oakland is carried out with three aluminium and three copper wires For the third transmission in point of length, that from Shawinigan Falls to Montreal, a distance of S5 miles, three aluminium conductors are employed. From these examples it may sbe seen that copper has lost its former place as the only conductor to be seriously considered for transmis- sion circuits. Aluminium has not only disputed this claim for copper, but has actually gained the most con- spicuous place in long transmission lines. This victory of aluminium has been won in hard competition. The decisive factor has been that of cost for circuit of given length and re- sistance. From the standpoint of cross-sectional area aluminium is infer for to copper as an electrical conduc- tor. Comparing wires of equal sizes and lengths the aluminium have only 60 per cent of the conductivity of the copper. The inferiority of aluminium as an electrical conductor in terms of sectional area is more than offset by it's superiority over copper in terms of weight. One pound of aluminium drawn into a wire of any length will have Q sectional area 3.33 times as great as one pound of copper in q wire of equal length. This follows from the fact tl1at the weight of cops per is 555 pounds while that of alum

A BLACK TRAGEDY.

The woman with four children who had come through from Denver was nearing Detroit. The porter had fin ished brushing them, each one of whom had demanded attention every fifteen minutes, when tho mother turn ed and said
 ''You have been very attentive to us during this trip, and wish to re- ward you,

 She wrote for a minute on one of the leaves of her book. and then tore it out, and handed it to him with the remark
 "A colored man who is ambitious to get along will always find friends"
 A passenger caught him in the yes tibule two minutes later and asked to see the paper. 1t read

EMMA GOLDMAN AT HOME
Though an Anarchist, She Couldn't
 Bear to See a Butterfly Suffer.


 Bear to See a Butterfly Suffer.
 The name of Emma Goldman is as- sociated throughout the length and breadth of the land with anarchy and riot and bloodshed; yet her friends sax that she cannot bear the sight of suf- fering in any creature, and thinks 1t cruel and unpardonable even to keep bird in cage In illustration of this side of her character, a. friend, Mrs Anna Sterling, tells a story of how she went to take luncheon one summer day in Miss Goldman's apartment in this city.
 k There were flowers in the center or the table, and butterfly, attracted by them, sailed in through the open win dow and alighted upon the blossoms. Miss Goldman while she watched It spoke of the sadness of such beautl- full creature wandering so far from it's proper environment and of the dangers and probable death it would meet in the city streets.
 The conversation then drifted to other sub jects, and the butterfly. unno- ticed, left the flowers and alighted upon the floor near. Miss Goldmans s chair, so that when she rose moment later she stepped upon it, crushing, oui not killing it.
 When she discovered what she had done her grief was evident. Almost weeping with distress, she begged her friend to put the creature out of mis- cry, as she herself could not bear either t6 see it suffer or to kill 1t.
 T have spare room in my apart ment," Mrs Sterling says, which de- vote to no special purpose. But z would not want Miss Goldman to know it. She would think it dreadful of me to keep it all for myself. She has q spare room, too, but it is invariably devoted to the use of some friendless. for1orn girl or woman whom she has rescued from starvation or from the streets. If no unfortunate human being is her guest at least some stray dog or cat is partaking of her hospital ity.''

Whenever we hear man talking
about what fine stock he has and how
little said stock eats we begin to get
suspicious. There may be men who
have developed and maintain fine
herds or nocks with very light feed
Ing. but we have thus far failed TO dis
cover them. One OF our friends used
TO be anxious TO tell how little feed Il
took for him To winter n brood sow.
He was q beginner then, and he was
going To have whole herd that would
winter on roots and fresh air. He isn't
talking about cheap wintering any
more. but feeding mill feed and corn.
He had some experience that knocked
the cheap wintering. nonfeeding fool
ishness completely out OF him. He re-
alizes now that those who have such
good looking stock on extremely light
rations are likely to underestimate
some things. The man who is looking
for good stock in order to save hauling
out feed IL going to be disappointed.
