Brigham Young in 1890

About the year 1880, Brigham
Young and family settled in Port
Byron, says the Rochester Post
Express. 1t was then known as
Bucksville and boasted of 100 inhabi-
tants. There was no canal or rail.
road in those days, and the settlers
had to hew down trees in order to
make a clearing in which to build a
house. During the first few years of
Young's stay he made his home with
Squire Pine, who lived in the corner
of Pine and South streets. The Pine
house is now about 100 years old. 1t
is now owned and occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. James d. Dixon.
Brigham Young was a carpenter,
and old residents of Port Byron say
that he was an expert at his trade,
but work was scarce and he was
always hard up 1t was a long time
before he saved money enough to
buy lumber to build his own house.
It was his intention to build himself a
fine house, but it turned out to be a
very ordinary frame structure. 1t was
built soon after the Erie canal was

Many Uses for Potato

is burned like gas in hooded flame,
covered by a Welsbach mantle. So
used, potato alcohol is described as
burning with an incandescent flame
equaling the electric light in brilliancy.
Indeed we are officially told now by
our consul general at Berlin that po-
tato alcohol is competing with gas and
electricity with increasing success ev-
cry year.
In the problems of heat and power
production, too, the lowly potato has
been brought into use, and the alcohol
from it has been applied to warming
and cooking stoves, to steam locomo-
biles, to thrashing, grinding, fuel cut
ting and other agricultural and me-
chanical appliances. The advantages
said to be found in its use are imme-
date readiness for operation; dispens-
ing with coal, water and firemen; free
dom from odors and danger of fire and
greater economy of maintenance. Pos
sibly there is some exaggeration in
these claims. But figures given plain
ly show that the potato as cultivated
in Germany has produced a real com.
petitor for at least benzine and petrol
cum for motor purposes.

To-day Germany fairly rivals Ire
land with its potato crop and out
does most other countries. Fully an
eighth of the arabic land of the en-
pre- is planted to this nutritious vege
table. Half the large yield is used
directly as human food; considerable
other portion is given over to fatten-
Ing stock. There stlll remains an
enormous surplus after that, however
and it is the success with which the
Germans have met in turning this
surplus into manufactured products
that Is most remarkable.
Among these manufactured products
are starch, glucose, potato -four, deX-
trim and starch sugar, each of which
appears prominently on the list of
German exports, all together contribut-
ing large sums every year to the
profits of German manufacturers and
exporters. But the alcohol which the
Germans make from the potato is the
most valuable and wonderful product
of all. This as a light producer fairly
rivals the electric current, it is said.
The apparatus for its practical use
includes lamps, chandeliers, street and
corner lights, in which alcoholic vapor

kirk livery stables, and is unoccupied.
Brigham Young's family comprised
his wife and one son, Brigham, Jr.,
who died recently at Salt Lake City.
Young at that time was a firm be-
lever in Mormonism. He left Port
Byron, or Buckville, in 1850 and went
to Seneca Falls. From there he went
TO Utah and subsequently became
famous as the leader of the Mormons.
In after years, when he was famous,
one of his old acquaintance wrote
to him and asked him if he was the
Brigham Young of Port Byron, and
if he were could he pay Squire Pine
for a large board bill. Squire Pine
was then an old man and in poor cir.
cumstances. In a short time Squire
Pine received a letter from Young,
and inclosed was the money in full
for his board, with interest. Young
was then a rich man and said he
was very glad to pay up his old debts.

LEARNING TO SWIM
HOW NEW YORK WOMEN ARE
TAUGHT THE ART.
The Overcoming of Fear the First
Qualification Absolutely Necessary
One Pupil Tells of Enjoyments
Procured by a Few Lessons.

The only place in the city where
swimming is scientifically taught to
women. so far as careful search could
determine. is in the basement of
building uptown, says the New York
Sun. Here a stalwart English woman,
with muscles trained to steel-like tex
ture, laments over the lack of space
at her disposal and does tho best she
can with ambitious pupils.
Six strokes will take an average
swimmer across the tiny pool, and at
first sight it would seem mockery
to attempt to teach an art which
more than any other demands plenty
of space and breathing room. But
the science of swimming, it seems,
can be taught in space that would
bring contempt to the heart of an
agile gold fish.
IF you can swim around this pool
! you have taken twelve strokes; il
| you can take twelve strokes you can
| keep on and take twenty four; by

and that is?"
"The innate fear. the lack of conf
dence. AS soon as that is overcome

The aptest pupils, according to the
English swimmer, are those who the
most quickly conquer their dread.
To teach the stroke is the easiest part
of the lesson.
zone in whom this dread is not
abnormally developed can be taught

preparing the meal is apt to be over
looked, resulting in dry roast instead
of juicy one. The inventor is of the
opinion that this work of basting the
meat should be done automatically,
any way, so he has designed a drip
ping pan with an apparatus attached
to pour the juice continuously over
the meat AS shown in the picture,
the piece of meat is suspended by
hooks between two rotary shafts, one
of which is revolyed by a spring mo-
tor. Projecting at right angles from
this shaft is an arm which carries a
sort of bowl or spoon, while directly
over the meat is a perforated pipe.
To set this automatic basting machine
to work it is only necessary to wind
the motor and place the pan in the
oven. Each revolution of the shaft
the spoon enters the trough in the
dripping pan, takes up a quantity of
the juice, elevates it to head of the
perforated pipe and discharges. The
gravy flows through the perforations
and falls on the revolving roast, while
the spoon resumes its journey to the
bottom of the pan once more.

Purif('no Air.

The cooling and publication of air
for Office buildings, says Engineering
News, is most effectually accomplish
ed by forcing the air through a water
spray. The excess of water in the air
is then removed by centrifugal force.
To do this a series of tubes are pro-
vided in which spirals are SO placed
as to give the air a whirling motion,
causing the suspended particles of
moisture to be thrown outward. and
thus brought into contact with the
tubes, from which the moisture flows
through perforations to a drip-pan be-
low. By providing a thermostat and
steam heating coils it is thus possible
10 have air at the same temperature
throughout the year, and not only
to have the same temperature, but the
same moisture contents. A plant of
this character was recently installed
for the Twin City Telephone com
pany of st. Paul, Mimi. by the B. F.
Sturtevant company of Boston, Mass.

Stability of the Solar system.


A question of the highest interest Is
whether or not the slight mutual In
fuences OF the planets viii destroy
in the lapse of time the present gen.
eral configuration Of the solar system.
1t is conceivable that the large planets
may collide, or that part or all OF
them may be precipitated on the sun,
or that the eccentricities of their or
bits may become so great that radical
changes of seasons will result from
their varying distances Thus, II the
eccentricity of an orbit should be re-
duced to one-half, the planet would be
three times more distant at aphellon
than at periheliOn and in the former
case it would receive one-ninth as
much heat and light as in the latter.
rigorous mathematical answer to
the question of stability Is by no
means easy.
What can be legitImately inferred
from the Investigations which have
been made on this subject? Only this,
unless there are other forces involved
than those considered the general
confguration of the solar system will
remain much as it is at present for a
long time, probably tens of thousands
or even millions of years. The state
ments made in many excellent popular
books that the stability Of the solar
system for all time has been proved
is entirely too strong and has abso-
lutely no logical foundation. The
mathematical evidence is no better
than that furnished by geology and
biology, and such sweeping conclus-
sions cannot be drawn from the data
furnished by any science.
