One of the most important and far
reaching inventions to the maritime
world ever recorded, says the San
Francisco Call, has been patented by
Captain Robert II. Lawless of the
steamship Australia of the Oceanic
Steamship company. The Lawless in
vention is called a stellar compass
and great circle course protector" By
this invention Captain Lawless asserts
it is possible to steer a ship after dusk
by fixing the compass on a particular
star, thereby insuring the straight
our of the vessel throughout the
night. When once fixed on a certain
star, the new invention will hold to it
until shifted to another point. Great
things are expected by the maritime
world from the Lawless machine. The
captain says: "In my compass simplici-
ty and usefulness are the strongest rec
concentrations to the seafaring commu
nifty. Men who follow the sea to whom
I have shown it pronounce it a valu-
able aid to navigation. 1t is a %calculat-
ing machine and needs no computation
Of any kind. 1t can be used with the
sun, moon or planets as well as the
fixed stars"

The good roads question is
likely to be brought home to
some sections of the country in
a practical manner. The Post
Office Department has been del
uged with complaints from
rural mail carriers on the routes;
MANY during the wet season are
impossible or nearly so. It has
always been the Governments
policy to withhold or abolish city
deliveries in towns which let
their sidewalks fall in decay.
It is now proposed to apply the
same principles to rural delivery
and to refuse to establish or con.
tinue routes along roads that are
not kept up. Such a policy will
certainly have salutary effect.
Where rural delivery has been
tried its beneiciaries will not
readily dispense with it, even al
the expenditure Of considerable
time and labor. Then any intel.
ligent work done on the road re.
bounds to the farmers own
benefit.

Mules P1Ow In Asphalt.

In the Indian Territory, where all
sorts of things are done hat were nev
err heard of elsewhere, they are blowing
asphalt, says the Kansas City Star.
Eighteen miles southeast of Comanche,
In the C~hickasaw country, six strap
ping Missouri mules are hitched to a
big breaking pillow every day and long
burrows of asphalt are turned. 1t is the
same kind of a pillow the farmers use
who break ground in the black jack
country, and the asphalt is the kind got
by blasting on the island Of Trinidad.
The mules are blowing in the center Of
a deposit one-third larger than the as
phalt deposits on Trinidad. Wells have
been dug to the depth of 100 feet. Stra-
ia Of asphalt of varying thicknesces
have been encountered to whatever
depth the wells have been sunk. The
supply is apparently inexhaustible.
Men of means have become convinced
there are millions of dollars to be made
and are either going to make it or lose
a fortune in their experiment.

New years greetings have
been given and 1902 has gone
with the years of the past. 1t
has been a prosperous year as a
general thing both locally and
nationally, and the year closes
with a promise of continued
prosperity for the future. South
Dakota and Grant county have
certainly no cause to complain of
the progress and prosperity
which the year past has brought
to our people. The state has
more than recovered from the
backset which it received some
years ago, and new energy and
hope inspire the people with con-
idence for the future. The
great mass of our people have
much to be thankful for and can
welcome 1903 with cheerful
hearts and a bright hope for the
future. We trust that the year
may be a happy and prosperous
one to you dear reader.

THIS VERY FAST AGE.

StiH Dissatisned In Spite of Our Tre-
mendous Speed Development.
The more civilized men, become the
more restless. The aboriginal brother
was never in a hurry, but he managed
to get around to his last resting place
on time.
1t is said that the old Dutch galley
man of the last century was always
satisfied if he got to the West Indies
in his slow moving yacht" in a year.
We now cross the ocean in less than
six days, but are no better satisfied
than the mariner Of old. Recently the
Kronprinz Wilhelm made the voyage
from Cherbourg to New York in five
days, eleven hours and fifty-seven min
utes, making an average gait of $500
knots. Her owners are no better salts
fed han though she had not beaten her
own best previous performance by
three hours. They are still looking for
another record.
We now have a running horse that
does a mile in 1877 As. A great trOtter
has been nearly blowing its lungs out
to make a mile within two minutes for
some time past. Vanderbilt's automO-
bile has been driven a mile in Az 80
seconds. Great locomotives now will
pull heavy express trains a mile a min
ute.
Not less wonderful are our records of
speed on the water. A short time ago
the Arrow steamed a mile in less than
I'm. 2Os. Other rivals had formerly
crept up to nearly the speed, but the
Arrow now bears the champions rec
ord. Her record means that she can
travel forty-tive miles an hour, which
is the speed of an ordinary locomotive,
and if it could be made more continu-
GUS would send her to Europe in three
days.
On the strength of the Arrows per-
formances they are now figuring on a
three day ship to Europe and say that
the plan is very feasible. 1t is a mere
question of mathematics to lay out a
ship after the pattern Of the Arrow
700 feet long and with a proportional
driving power that would send her
across from New York to Liverpool in
three days. On paper we already have
it.-Detroit Free Press.

Another Novel Fire Engine.

The chief Of the fire department in
Rouen, France, has invented a fire
pump which can be operated by tap
ping the current of any street car or
electric light system. The pump is
small enough to be drawn easily by one
horse in a light, two wheeled cart, but
sufficiently powerful to throw a stream
of water 100 feet high. In a trial the
new pump developed it's full energy in
three minutes, while a steam pump re-

New markets for the produc-

labor to our own people, but tend
to increase their employ ment."
