Swimming Matches.

Just as a man a bicycle is enabled
to cover more ground than a man on
foot, so is his capacity of travel through
water augmented by the use of the swim
ming machine, which has been recently
designed and patented by a Chicago man.
In fact the principle of the bicycle seems
to enter largely into the construction of
the swimming machine. The machine is
strapped to the operator about his waist
and is held rigidly in place by means of
a saddle-like arrangement below. a bar
of adjustable length, in order that it may
be made to suit men Of different build
hangs from the saddle and is supplied
with pedals reyolved by the operator
feet, and these in turn drive a propeller
Of suitable size. This wheel does all the
work of driving the swimmer through the
water and does the work with much more
facility and speed than man can force
himself through the water unaided.
The inventor says the weight of the
mechanism is readily overcome by the ac-
ton of the wheel. and that any swimmer
can soon acquire the knack of it's use.
The buoying tendency of the body and
the weight of the contrivance serve to
maintain the swimmer at the right angle
10 get the best results from the use OF
the machine.--Philadelphi Record.

oil VS.. Dust ON Roads.

Oil has been adapted to valuable ser
vice in the desert sections or Arizona.
New Mexico and portions of California.
where excessive draughts are productive
of much dust. 1t is used for sprinkling the
tracks. Sixty-seven miles of track in
california, 11S miles in Arizona and 1879
miles in New Mexico, or total of 316
miles, receive this treatment. The value
of the experiment cannot be oyeresti-
mated when the benefit of the traveller is
considered. Only one objection to the
method remains. Oil-soaked particles of
dust will soil the clothing, and it be-
hooves the travellers to protect their gar
ments against this damage. Many roads
do not use oil to lay the dust on this ac-
count.-Express Gazette.

Salvador and Guatemala May FIGHT
Over Honduran Presidency.

PANAMA, Jan. 29.-The. interview

THE FOG.

The fog skunk down from Labrador,
stealthy, sure and slow,
Southwardly shifting, far inshore, so
never man might know
How the sea it trod with feet soft-shod
watching the distance dim,
Where the fishing fleet to the eastward
beat, white dots on the oceans rim.
Feeling the sands with it's furtive hands,
lingering cape and cove,
Where the sweet salt smells of the nearer
swells up the sloping hillside rove.
Where the Wh1mpering Sea-gullS SWoop
and soar, and the great king-herons
The fog skunk down from Labrador,
-stealthy, sure and slow!
Then a stiffness fell on crag and cliff,
on beach and breaker fell,
AS the sea breeze brought on it's final
Whit the note of distant bell.
one faint, far sound, and the fog unWound
It's mantle across the lea.
joined hand in hand with a wind from
land, and the twain went out to sea!
And the wind that rose spoke soft, of those
who watch on the cliffs at dawn,
And the fog's white lips, Of sinking ships
where the tortured tempests spawn
AS, each to each, they told once more
such things as fishers know,
When the fog sinks down from Labrador
stealthy, sure and slow!
Oh, the, wan. white hotrs go limping by
~. Wnen the pail comes in between,
The great, blue bell of the cloudless sky
Nor sane young day, nor swirl of spray as
the catS-pawS lunge and lift;
on sad, slow waves, like the mounds of
graves, the fiShermens dories drift.
FOR the nsh1ng craft that leapt and laugh
-, ca are swallowed in glossy gray;
Only Gods eyes may see where lies the
lap OF the sheltered bay,
90 thelf ft, grope, for lost their lore,
W1tleSSly to and fro
When the fog sinks down from Labrador,
stealthy, sure and slow!
Oh. men of the fleet, It's you who learn,
of the white fogs biting breath
Ihat NE may hang on the way ye turn,
or the way We turn be death!
Ihough they on the lea look out to sea for
the woe or the veal Of you,
The ominoQs East like hungry beast. is
waiting your udings, tool!
"A night ana a day, mayhap, We stray, a
gay and ngiht, pefchance,

IN the unknown final throw,
When the log sinks down from Labrador,
stealthy, sure and slowi
All, God Of the Sea. what joy there lies in

When the pallid curtains rise, and the

When 8. wind from the West on the sullen
breast OF the waters shoulders

BOSTON SCULPTOR, PAINTER
AND MUSICIAN DEAD
Cyrus Cobb's Life Was Closely Inter
woven With His Twin Brothers.

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 29.-Boston's
famous sculptor, painter and musician,
Cyrus Cobb, died today at the age of
sixty eight years. Cyrus and his
brother Darius, who survives him, were
twin sons of Rev. DR.. Sylvanus Cobb.
Both were artists, both were sculptors,
both musicians and both had exactly
similar tastes in literature, amuse-
ments and everything. Their person
al resemblance was so marked that
very few persons could tell them apart
and their lives had been closely inter-
woven from their birth.
The first important work in patriotic
sculpture by Cyrus Cobb was the Cam
bridge soldiers monument, built about
thirty years ago.
The marble bust Of Paul Revere by
Cyrus, together with Darius Cobb's two
paintings of the great patriots famous
ride, adorn the town hall of Revere.
One of Cyrus last works was the m.tdel
of the equestrian statute of Gen. Philip
H. Sheridan, and two of his famous
paintings are Warren in the Old
South" and Jesus Condemned"

Gen. Otis Quotes History

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Maj. Gen. FL
vel S. Otis, in lecture before the stu.
dents of the College of Commerce and
Administration at the University of
Chicago tonight, declared that promi-
nent Filipinos urged him to put down
the rebellion in the Philippines by de-
vastation and murder.
The impression given me was that
civilized. warfare would not suppress
the rebellion" said the speaker. 1T
was stated the rebels would attribute
humane warfare to the cowardice and
would be encouraged. Devastation and
murder were urged"
In reply to the question whether Fill
pinos buried alive, beheaded and tor
tured amigos who did not countenance
the rebellion, he replied:
Many such stories were current.
The desire of the majority of the in
habitants of the islands is for peace
and protection which will enable them
to enjoy the fruits of their labor"

BILLS OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE.
Dakota Legislature Fritters Away
Most of the Time on TrifIes.

Special to The Globe.
BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 29.-In the
legislature today, Cassel, of Steele
county, endeavored to force the pas
sage of a resolution for the publica-
ton of the list of house employees, with

ferred to the committee on appropria-
tons. A bill repeating the contract
system Of engrossment and enrolment
of bills was passed by the senate; also
bill for the publication Of the pro-
ceedings of the Educational association

county Minor amendments to exist
ing laws were passed.
Special to The Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 29.-One of the

well as other tracts. Several bills were
called for third reading in the house,
but all went back to committees. One
was to fix the weight of a bushel Of
speltZ at AZ pounds, and another to
protect quail for FIVE years, which was
amended to include song BIRDS The
bill to allow graduates of the state law
school certificates without examination
called out a furry on an attempt to
amend in the senate to require two

ed and the bill passed.

"uncIe Joen Plays solitaire.

A great devotee Of solitaire Is Uncle
Joe" Cannon. In the hours when he is
alone, and often when some one is with
him, he plays the fascinating game per-
sistently. Not infre9uently he seems tc
play it automatically, for he conducts a
conversation easily while he deals and
oranges his cards.
Not long time ago Mr.. Cannon peeked
out of the window in his corner room at
the Cochran to see If there was light in
the bachelor establishment Of Brother
Moody the secretary of the navy. There
was. Forthwith Mr.. Cannon journeyed
around to the secretary's to see what
might be doing. Mr.. Moody and Repre-
sentative Gillett of Massachusetts were
at dinner with some friends, and Mr.
Cannon seated himself in the parlor.
There he saw pack of cards. AS he
waited he started a game of solitaire.
and he played and played. The secretary
and Mr.. Gillett and their friends came
out from dinner, but Mr.. Cannon was
still at his game of solitaire They en-
gagged in conversation and talked in in
formal fashion. Mr.. Cannon talked too.
but he stuck to his game of solitaire
1t was well toward midnight when he
concluded this game with himself. stepped
out into the rain and darkness. and again
skipped around the corner to his own
vine and fig tree.-Washingto Post.

OIL FIELDS IN. ALASKA.
Experts Report the Flow Inexhaust.
ibIe and Close to Tide Water.

lbI0 anu NtOS6 TO IQS water
Oil experts who have just returned
to Tacoma from the oil fields of south
ern Alaska declare that they will rival
the fields in Pennsylvania in the mat
ter of production within a short time.
Edward Falon, a, veteran OIL prospec-
tor, returned from Kayak where he
has been locating oil lands for syn
dictate. He says that evidences of oil
are found everywhere in the Kayak
regions. That escaping from cliffs and
rocks is a golden, strip hue. 1t is a
paraffin, and not an asphaltum, base,
as is the California product.
Fallon says that oil stands in pools
and small lakes all over the surface
of the lowlands lying east of Copper
river. Those deposits usually range in
size from holes of the circumference
of a water bucket to thirty feet in d.
ameter. In places there are lakes Of
oil covering acres. ~ fS
A company composed of British cap
italists produced it's first gusher last
August, striking permanent flow Of
oil at a depth of $50 feet. The well
has been tightly capped, but more or
less oil constantly oozes out. Tests
made In Alaska and Pennsylvania
show the product to contain rs per
cent of illuminant
Fallon and other oil experts declare
that the men who obtain control Of the
Kayak fields can compete with the
Standard Oil company, since the sup
ply in Alaska is ineXhaustible and the
oil is produced close to tidewater;
where it can be shipped to the Orient
and other worlds markets.

The Event Leaves a Deal
of Bad Blood Among the
Republican Brethren.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 29.-On the
thirteenth joint ballot today Levi An
keny, of Walla WalIa, was elected to
succeed George Turner, Democrat, in
the United States senate. Twenty
three Of the Republicans who did not
join in the general caucus last night
acquiesced in the result and cast their
votes today for Mr.. Ankeny. Thirteen,
however, declined to accept the caucus
choice. They were all railroad commits
sion men.
Nearly every one of the Republicans
who refused to vote for Ankeny Eek
planned his vote" and bitterness was
shown by several members of the King
county (Seattle) delegation against the
ones who broke the anti caucus agree
ment last night.
Mr.. Ankeny, who is a millionaire,
was born near ST. Joseph, Mo-, in 1874,
and came West with his parents in
1850. Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. An
kery established the first national bank
at Walla Walla and is now president
of six national banks in Oregon and
Washington. He is also largely in
terested in agricultural and grazing
lands in the Northwest. Mr.. Ankeny
has never before held political office.
