Skating on Water.

It would seem that skating on water

says Tit-Bits. A German inventor has
made q hundred-mile journey with
water shoes on the surface Of the River
Danube The shoes are cylindrical In
shape, and are made of aluminium to
give them extreme lightness. They are
several feet long, and are propelled by
treading movement, which causes
four oar-shaped wings to revolve. The
inventor claims that he can travel on
water three times as fast as he can
walk on land, and that locomotion Is as
safe on rough water as on smooth. He
hopes to have the shoes made part OF

Guard wires are required wherever
telegraph Or telephone wires unprotect-

MAKES ONES HEAD WHIRL.
People Frequently Meet Death as a
Result of Height Dizziness.


Result of Height Dizziness.
The theory that fatal height dir
ziness' might explain the leap of Mr..
Openhym from High Bridge has some
claim for consideration. In one form
or another this nervous condition is
manifested in a goodly number Of in
dividuals and in exaggerated instances
is accompanied with an almost uncon-
trollable impulse to jump into space.
So strong is this disposition in some
persons that they have a settled aver
sion for high places and purposely
avoid mountains, steeples, bridges and
balloons. The apparent helplessness
of the situation, the horror of posi-
BILE misstep or loss of balance, and,
worst Of all, an overwhelming sense Of
general fear, dominate the feeling of
self-control, and the victim becomes
the veriest coward when otherwise he
is perfectly safe from accident.
By medical authorities this fear,
when carried to an extreme, is consid
cred as distinctly mental disease, and
Is akin to the nervousness which some
times seizes people in open places and
to the imaginary danger of being poi
soned or murdered. For the same rea-
son others cannot endure a crowded or
closed room, have unaccountable pref
udices against certain places. must
count houses, signs and persons, avoid
cracks in the sidewalk or make them
selves generally miserable in the sus-
picion of accidental disease cOntami-
nation.
All these are different forms OF
neura Sthenia or nerve exhaustion, and
must be combated in their inception,
else the individual becomes In the end
more or less of a mental wreck. The
force Of will may effect much toward
a cure, but its exercise can hardly be
trusted at first in high and dangerous
situations. Especially is this the case
when the individual is alone and feels
that his only reliance for safety Is in
himself. The shock Of the fright may
then be overwhelming, amounting to
temporary insanity and an uncon-
trollable suicidal impulse. In the alb
sence Of reasonable motive for selfde-
struction such qualifying conditions Of
action must always be taken into &C
count.

A JOHN BROWN RELIC.
Partial Destruction of the Great Abb
olitionist's Home.

Partial Destruction of the Great Abb
olitionist's Home.
The recent partial destruction by fire
of John Browns home at Tabor, Iowa,
serves to recall the exciting period
when the noted abolition leader made
the little one-story cottage in Iowa the
headquarters of the underground rail-
way" for the transfer of slaves from
the South to Canada.
In 1857 this little house was the CEN
ter Of perhaps more attention than the
national capital itself. Brown was be-
ing heard from. Already were gather
ing around him men from Massac hu-
sets and Maine and other New En-
gland States. Already had shipments
of arms, and even a cannon, been re-
ceived at Tabor. And hundreds of
runaway slaves had passed through
the town, coming at night and leaving
the following night. And the eyes Of
those men. who four years later be-
came the leaders of the secession
movement, were also fastened on this
little house. Northern politicians were
regarding anxiously the preparations
"Old" Brown was making. The Kan
sas "Jayhawkers" hated him bitterly,
and several contemplated raids on the
place were narrowly averted.
But through 1t all Brown and hts
friends continued their work, and it

If you would realize the immensely of
the United States study trade Stats
tics. We talk about billion-dollar Con-
crosses; now let's think about billion
dollar commerce. In the year ending
March 81, 1903, the imports Of the Uni
ted States reached billion dolalrs.
That is the first time imports ever
reached the billion mark. Uncle Sam
is good customer. It Is fact that Is
as good peace guarantee as a fleet of
warships. Countries that are selling us
thousand million dollars worth of
things to eat, drink, wear and use in q
single year would at least think twice
before affronting such a customer and
strangling such a market. The pros
porous way of doing bushes is said to
be to sell more than you buy. The
United States is doing that, and feed
ing nations. The exports for the year
ending March 81 reached the stupen-
dous total of $1,414, 796,95O, and cover
ed everything from steel bridges to dol
Lar watches, breakfast foods to bottled
beer. This is big country. It's own
pSOplc Cdu SCdISSAy Lu0
greatness of the empire. Why, the
farms alone are worth three thousand
million dollars. We have billion-dol-
lar trust, billion-dollar crops, billion
dollar bank savings. We have just
launched ship that will carry 10000
tons of freight, and more are building.
The mines Of the Northwest will give
up 100000 tons of iron ore in a sin
gle season. From Maine to California
big things are in progress. All this is
the wonder of the civilized world, and
when put into figures the totals simply
stun humanity. Big! Why, when you
can count all of the stars and the grains
Of sand on the seashore, you'll be able
to measure the glory and greatness of
America! We should pray for humil-
ity-power to bear our greatness with
honor and dignity. We should see to
it that morals, education, charity, civic
Righteousness, all the higher things Of
life, keep pace with the mighty strides
Of commerce. For, unless they do, the
years Of our greatness are surely num-
bered.

Sad news comes from Oklahoma,
where an investigation Of the condition
Of Lo the poor Indian has recently
been made by representative Of the
government. 1t appears that the In
dams Of Oklahoma are suffering from
too much prosperity. Ten or twelve
years ago they were busy and happy.
They owned land, each head Of fam
lily had pony or two, a few dogs,
pigs, chickens and other necessities nf
life, and the days came and went with
a pleasing if somewhat monotonous
regularity. To-day the noble red men
Of Oklahoma appear to be rapidly GO
ing to the bad. Their land has turn
ed out to be valuable, and they are
leasing it to white men at high prices.
The result Is that the Indians are no
longer forced to work for a living, and
they are rapidly falling into habits of
idleness and vice. The report of the
commissioner who has been looking
into the matter says: From habits
Of industry and thrift these Indians, or
most Of them, have become idlers and
Migrants on the face of the earth. The
best friends Of the Indians are those
who are in favor Of compelling them to
work. Work is the salvation of these
Indians and their only salvation. The
leasing Of lands has proved to be a
great calamity for a majority Of them.
1t would be thousand times better
for them if the leasing of lands was
prevented and the proposition present
ed to them fatty to work or starve"
This will probably be discouraging to
people who have longed to raise the In
dian up to nobler and better things;
but does it, after all, indicate that the
red man Is essentially different from
his white brother? Is the Indian the
only one who can't broaden out and
progress in idleness?

JOHN BROWNS IOWA HOME.

was while residing in Tabor that
Brown decided upon the move which
he hoped would set the country ablaze,
but which ended in his own death.
It is told by one Of the old settlers
that one night there marched into the
little town of Tabor, 200 recruits for
Brown. They came from Maine. were
all we'll armed, and were en- route to
help the free cause in Kansas. Accom-
panying the body was a single wagon
loaded with corn. The party stopped
In Tabor several weeks, and were
drilled and instructed by old Brown
himself. Two weeks after the party
arrived, company Of runaway slaves
arrived from Missouri. The following
day the owner Of several Of them ar
rived. With him was the sheriff Of
his county, and several deputies. They
demanded the slaves. Brown refused
to deliver them. The sheriff attempted
to take them by force. Brown gave
shrill whistle and the Maine men
swarmed from all directions. The Off
GERS were overpowered and robbed of
their arms. They left, vowing to re-
turn with re-enforcements and capture
the whole body. Then the corn was
thrown out of the wagon and from
beneath the grain was brought small
cannon, which was quickly mounted
and placed In a position commanding
the road by which the Missourians
would return.
But the glave-owners never came
back and the cannon was covered with
the corn and was taken down into
Kansas with the men from Maine
