A Wonderful Invention.

It is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention of
articles of minor Importance. Many of
the most popular devices are those design
ed to benefit the people and meet popular
conditions, and II of the most interest.
ing of these that has ever been invented
is the Dr. White Electric Comb, patented
Jan. l, so. These wonderful combs pos
itively cure dandruff, hair falling out,
sick and nervous headaches, and when
used in connection with DR.. Whites
Electric Hair Brush are positively guar
anteed to make straight hair curly in 25
days time. Thousands of these electric
combs have been sold in various cities of
the Union, and the demand is constantly
increasing. Our agents are rapidly be-
coming rich selling these combs. They
positively sell on sight. Send for sample.

~MASQUERADING FRUITS.
Nuts and Seeds That Resemble In
Form Certain Animals
and Insects.

Of fruits that resemble animals, the
buffalo-headed nut, trapa bicornis OF
| China, is perhaps the most astonishing.
Nothing ia more curious than its re-
semblance to a buffalo-head, horns,
eyes and nose.
1t is an aquatic plant, with dissected
submerged leaves and a tuft of aerial
broad leaves. The nut contains a sweet
edible kernel, and a species in Cashmere
is a staple food. One species has been
n~aturalized in our Concord river.
These nuts are also known as water
caltrops, in allusion to the spiked balls,
formerly used to impede cavalry. The
Initiative shape has no ~supposable use,
except as the horns may hinder animals
from swallowing 1t.
Some seeds resemble insects. Thus.
the husk of biserrula %pelecinus suggests
A caterpillar or a centipede; the seed
Of the castor-oil plant a beetle, and,
still more, a jatropha would easily be
mistaken for a beetle, showing thorax
and two elytra with their lines of or
namentation.
A low leguminous plant of the Med
~iterranean region, scorpiurus subvil-
losa, has a pod that resembles a worm
Or a serpent more than a scorpions tail,
which is the meaning of the generic
name; but in scorpiurus vermicullata
the likeness to a caterpillar is so strik-
ing that the pods are sometimes laid
upon salads to test the nerves of guests;
the latter is called the caterpillar plant.

The Evening News yesterday gave
some idea of the new home at Newton
where the aged Presbyterian ministers
are now comfortably domiciled. 1t is
a beautiful spot in the mountains, but
Perth Amboyans fail to see that it is
any more attractive than the historic
old Westminster. By the way, is not
something going to be done to secure
that building and grounds for the
public use forever?

1WThe various uncomplimentary re-
marks being made concerning the
recent carnival and the wonder ex-
pressed by some as to where all the
money went, were to be expected.
There are always those who will never
turn a finger to assist in making an
affair q success and yet are always
ready to criticize and make all manner
of fun of what others ATTEMPT to do.
Yesterday the News published in
detail the various bills presented and
it is easily seen where the money has
gone. AS for the $425 for fireworks,
when 1t is remembered that fully Sl76
of that sum was spent for red fire
alone, it can readily be realized that
the rest of the money went for the
display from the float. There is real
ly no room for complaint regarding
the carnival. 1t was a case Of the
boat owners declaring that they would
rather look on than take part. The
prizes were liberal enough; the
people should have been more willing
to turn out. There is no reason why
the idea of a carnival for 1904 should
be abandoned. Money is not the
question, anyway. Get the boats to
decoyate and the rest will be easy.

THE TEACHING OF
CRAFTSMANSHIP

Washington, May 1S.-While Mr.
Carnegie is contributing liberal num-
Der OF his surplus millions to establish
permanent home for peace at The
Hague. and the efforts of statesmen
was being directed to bringing about a
condition that will make war practical
ly an impossibility. Uncle Sam,
through his War Department officials,
is proposing to establish target room
in the kindergarten and eventually
make every schoolboy in the nation an
expert marksman. This is one of the
developments of the Dick militia bill
passed by the last Congress. The plan
has been recommended by board OF
army officers, and it is understood that
Mr.. Root, the secretary of war, most
heartily approves of it.
The army board, which has made
this recommendation to the War De-
partment, does not expect it to be put
into effect for sine time, but il has
recommended number of other mat
ters along this general line that will
be taken up at once. 1t is proposed to
stimulate interest in workmanship out

tions. One item of the militia bill pro-
vided for an appropriation of $500 for
the purchase of a national trophy and
medals and other prizes for markham

priation of $1,000 for the purchase of
a national trophy which is to be hung
up every year for competition by any
and all rifle teams of the country.

or state troops. or from private mill

appropriation will be used for the pur-
chase of medals and for cash prizes.
The first shoot under these arrange
ments will be at Sea Girt. in September
next. In addition to the national tro-
ply. a number of other prizes will be
hung up for the meet.

that gun clubs be established all

Labor Commissioner Montgomery
says one company in the beet growing
section of northern Colorado says it
wants 27OO people to work for it The
demand for labor in this field is enor-

office has dismissed two actions against
Edgar A. Keeler. John c. Curtis. the
Denver Consolidated Tramway Com
pany and a number of others charged
with illegal cutting timber off the gov

complained of occurred about six years

above.
Steps to recover for the state the
land in Pueblo's residence section, now
held by the Hard Land Company. will
soon be taken. The State Land Board
has instructed Appraiser Smith to at
once proceed with the case. Attorney
General Miller informed the members
of the board that he considered the
claim of the state as excellent as far
as the first report of the appraiser
c>as. Then the board decided that the
case should be taken up Immediately.
and authorized the expenditure of the
money that will be required.
Detailed maps OF every coal mine in
Colorado in which the state has an in
terest will soon be on file in the office
of the land board. The task of max

der the direction of Agent Cowdry.
appointed under the law passed by the
last Legislature, which provides for
more careful accounting of all mineral
lands. Under the new law the state
itself, through the agent in charge of
the mineral lands, makes the surveys.
In this manner there is no opportunity
for the state to receive less than its
share of the money realized from the
output of the mines.

LABOR COMMITTEE REPLIES TO
STATEMENT OF THE ALLIANCE

The sole reason for the present diff
culties is the fact that the Citizens AL
lance denies the right of organized
employers to treat or sign agreements
with their employees. How can there be
arbitration between organized labor
and organized employers in the alb
sence of agreements or contracts TO
carry out such decisions of arbitration?
The differences between the central
body of organized labor and the CEN
tral body of organized employers is the
fact that the latter denies the employ
ers the privilege and right to treat and
sign agreements with employees. while
the central body of labor assumes no
such authority and each local union
treats with its employers as it sees fit.
We are not opposed to organization
of employers, and we welcome their
existence to treat with organized labor
to assure the stability of industrial
peace. The Citizens Alliance, however.
is an organization made up OF both EN-
ployers and employees. the latter mem
bers to be used in taking the places OF
union workmen who may strike be-
cause of dir rences with employers,
and it further denies the right of Or
ganiZed labor to use ,Ae strike and boy
colt, the only effective means at the
command of labor, to better its condi-
ton.
Our position is fully set forth in our
acceptance of the order of the State
Board of Arbitration to allow that body
to arbitrate the present differences,
and to which we refer to the general
public for careful consideration. Re

SLEPT
OUT IN THE SNOW

Yosemite, Cal. May l7.-Within the
shadows of old Ell Captain, lulled by
the spirit of Pohono, the Indian name
for the Bridal Veil. warmed by a rous-
ing camp fire, President Roosevelt is
resting tonight. 1t has been hard
day for him. Since early morning he
has been in the saddle viewing and
admiring some of the grandest scenery
in thc world.
Tomorrow morning he will take the
Raymond limited stage at O'Clock,
lunch at Wawona, and arrive at Ray
mond in the evening. where his special
train awaits him. For two days and
two nights he has been lost to the
world and its curious gaping crowds in
the almost trackless wilds of the high
Sierras. accompanied by a handful of
trusted friends.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon the party
arrived from the Vernal Falls at the
Happy isles.
I'VE were in a snowstorm last night
and it was just what we wanted" the
President said. The President was
dressed in khaki suit and wore an
army hat, and around his neck was a
dusty looking han ikerchief much the
worse for wear.
This is the one day of my life,
said he, land one that l will always re-
member with pleasure. Just think OF
where | was last night. Up there. y
pointing toward Glacier Point, amid
the pines and silver first in the Sierran
solitude. in a snowstorm, too. and
without a tent I passed one of the
most pleasant nights of my life. 1t was
so reviving to be so close to nature in
this magnificent forest of yours"
While riding through the streets OF
Yosemite village to-day. small boy
said: Hello. Teddy" The President
stopped his horse and frown darkened
his face. He rode up to the boy. the
dignity of the President gone and in its
place the face and severity of the
father and parent. He gave the young
ster a short lecture on manners that
he will never forget.
