Atchison Kan. Globe: So many
farmers from this section have gone
to Alberta, OF have the Alberta fever,
that The Globe takes pleasure in
printing a testimony, as the
Methodists call it. A settler in Al
berta writes to his old friends that it
will not pay them to sell out their
pleasant homes in Kansas to migrate
to the new provinces of western
Canada. He insists that he has not
lost his finances by reason Of his
move, but gives warning that but
few Americans will be satisfied with
the climate, the government or the
prospects of making money in the
new lands. He is not in the drouth
region. The lands produce excellent
crops, but the winters are long and
trying and prices of all commodities
are SO high that a large part Of the
profit of the farm is consumed in
necessary expenses. Kerosene sells at
As cents a gallon, vinegar 81; self
binders at $155, wagons at 500 and
everything else in proportion. Arti-
cles plainly marked s'fve cents on
the package are commonly sold at IL
cents in the stores of this part Of the
dominion. 81 can truthfully say
adds this settler, ssthat every man I
nave met who is American born n
has been here two years or more
wishes himself back in Uncle SAINTS

HEADQUARTERS BUILDING.

Enough to Crookston to Begin
New Buildings.
A new headquarters building, to
furnish room for three Great North
ern divisions, is to be. erected at Car
man, across the river from Crookston,
to be ready for occupancy by July L..
according to the Crookston journal.
The blue prints are out and have
been een by parties in Crvokston, ac-
cording to the story. They show a,
two story structure that will have a
total length Of 500 feet. and while this
is an unusually large building it will
be necessary to house the business that
will center here.
The plan that is proposed is to reor-
ganize the system and create two new
divisions east of Williston, Mont.
This is done with a view of reducing
the trackage that is controlled by each
division superintendent and under the
new arrangement this will not exceed
400 miles. By the new arrange
ment it is understood that the divi-
sion points at Larimore. Grard Forks,
Breckenridge and Melrose and Barnes
vile will be discontinued. The Lar
imore headquarters will be removed to
Minot and that will be headquarters
for the Dakota division, which will
have charge of the lines west of Dew
lis Lake. The Breckenridge division
will be removed to Willmar which
will also be the headquarters for the
Sioux Falls division. This leaves
Crookston as the point whence the re-
mainder Of the lines in this part and
eastern North Dakota will be manag-
ed. Melrose will be the southern
point of a division that will extend
from Crookston to that city and back
to Cass Lake, and which will do the
business Of the former Fergus Falls
division. Another new division will
be created that will extend over the
route covered by the Halstad line to
Fargo north to Grand Forks, and take
in the Portland, Mayville and Ane a
branches. The third division that
will have headquarters here is the
Northern division. T. is will extend
from Cass Lake to Devils Lake and
include all the branches north Of that
line both in this safe and in North
Dakota.

New Fog Signal.

During a fog and mist vessels are ex-
posed TO collisions and experience much
difficulty in entering harbors. for which
reasons special interest attaches to a
new fog signal which has been invented
by a Belgian. NJ. Z. De Meulenmeester.
and which is designed TO prevent these
dangers.
The invention. which is known as the
Edlin fog signal. consists Of q receiver
Of the waves Of sound and Of an in
strument which indicates the source OF
these sounds. The receiver is COM
posed OF a series Of trumpets which are
arranged in a circle on a mast and the
bells OF which are turned 20 all points
Of the horizon. the narrower end of each
trumpet being connected with the indi-
Gator by a tube.
The indicator. which is close to the
hand of the captain or officer Of the
watch. has tubular ring. from which
Issue all the acoustic tubes from the
receiver. In the ring is a small opening.

means OF which sounds entering the
trumpets are heard by the persons
working the instrument

In London there is much talk at pres
ent about curious book entitled THE
Reign of George VI. isOo-1s25." which
was published in 1868. and a copy OF
which was recently discovered.
The author makes some astounding
prophecies about the twentieth century.
Russia, he says. viii conquer not only
Finland and the Crimea but also the
Scandinavian peninsula. and viii become
the steadfast ally Of France. which will
be governed by the Bourbons. In Ger
many. he predicts. the Hapsburgs Will
be displaced by the HOhenzOllerns. and
''in 1903 the ruler viii be Frederick TX. a
very weak monarch. who will be con-
trolled in all things by his wife" The
whole Of Italy. he maintains. will be
ruled by one king. and "the patrimony
of St. Peters will long since have been
taken away from the church"
England. according to him, Will be
wonderfully powerful at the beginning
Of the twentieth century. and as a proof
thereof he says that 'In 1920 the Brit
ish colonies Of North America will have
no less than 100000 Inhabitants" a

A F0UR-LEGGED DUCK.

The new variety of duck has the ap-
pearance Of being accurately balanced
on its legs instead Of the topheavy ap-
pearance common TO it's species. An
other curious Characteristic is that
the legs are in constant and ap-
parently natural use when II
walks. IT moves by raising two
feet at a time much the same as a
dog. The only advantage the extra legs
seems TO lend the duck is it's greatly in
creased speed IN swimming. All four
