HEARD IN PASSING

Twelve hotels in New York city have more than 300 telephones each.
 A young Brooklyn man went to state prison refusing at his own risk to dis close the name of the master rascal under whom he had acted because ne had given ''his word of honor" to re- main silent. Honor comes near break ing the record of liberty in the number of crimes committed in it's name.-Bal- timore American.
 Motormen who object to unbiased examinations by competent surgeons with respect to their eyesight and the possible danger of their suffering sud den attacks of heart disease, apoplexy, paralysis or syncope are wholly unrea- sof1able. The safety of the passengers is always the first thing to be taken into account, and such examinations are needed.-New York Tribune.
 We are hoping for an intelligent re- casting of the whole law of trust in- vestments at the next session of the general assembly. It has never seemed to us a decorous performance carrying the opposition to these ter minal bonds on after the action of the legislature and the governor, to say nothing of what occurred before. Ger tainly there is no excuse for it any onger.-Hartford Courant.
 The one thing these state police need to be warned against is the tendency which slang describes as "butting in without the advice or consent of the local authorities. It will require tact and diplomacy to check this. It is hoped that such tact and diplomacy will be employed. Those interested in law and order will watch with interest but not with too much confidence the developments in connection with this new service.-New London Day
 w J. Sanders lives ill the Adiron- dacks not far from the Rockefeller es- tate and one or two other big estates. He wishes to run for representative in the legislature. and has made his plat form the legal restraint of mnlionaires from creating these great monopolfes of fishing and shooting in what should be and remain a public domain. His course is so pleasing to the native pop ulation that he is considered likely to be elected, although he is democrat, and the district is generally strongly republican. HI Hartford Times

John Alexander Dowie, the prophet of Zion, is shrewdly up-to-date in his business methods, according to I.aK. Friedman in Everybody's Magazine for November. '"There is probably no business house in the United States quicker to adopt modern time-and- money y-saving inventions than the Christian Catholic church. The things rendered unto Elijah the Second are shrewdly invested by Elijah the Re storer for the benefit of John Alexan- der Dowie. The man is shockingly human for a prophet. His house in Zion City. built in the English style of architecture, is lavishly furnished
 there is stable full of costly equip ages: summer house across the lake is maintained in great luxury. In- deed, the mans vanity and love of ostentation find an outlet In innumer- able forms of gaudy and expensive display. By way of Justification he is said to have once remarked that the pope of the Roman church is sur round by the best that earth affords, and that there is no reason why the overseer of the Christian Catholic church should be left whit behind"

 If the democrats show gains in the elections this fall it will indicate that the voters are determined to turn out the republicans and inaugurate the re- form that is so necessary for the pub- lie welfare. Equal rights to all and special privileges to none' is the dem- ocratic slogan, and as the voters are beginning to see that trust prosperity means the piling up of millions in the pockets of the favored few and no fair share to the many, it is only reason able to expect the voters will demand change in political conditions. That the republican leaders are frightened to the point of desperation is plain enough or President Roosevelt would not have authorized the speaking mem bers of his cabinet to take the stump for Hanna in Ohio and to bolster up the Lodge machine in Massachusetts and to aid the crowd in Kentucky that call themselves the republican paffy in that state

Speaking of the effects of work and
 idleness on prisoners, a writer in Les lies Monthly says that there are two ways in particular by which men in
 conflnement have sought to save their reason. One is to take pin into the punishment cell with you. Then you divert the weary hours in that pitch darkness by throwing it up in the air, and when it falls you hunt for it on hands and knees and thus give your self an occupation. But alas! the offi- cer may know of this hunt for the pin and take it from you, so perhaps the other practice is more sure to keep the brain from madness. That Is the spell ing of words backwards. I have at the present time in our Hope hall a man who cam spell anything just as quickly in that fashion as in the ordin- ary way, and when asked why he taught himself what seemed such a useless accomplishment he answered: T snved myself from Insanity by fl" I1be greatest blesaing to the man in pfispn $ xTpTl had the emporium

NOVEL DEPTHOMETER
Something New In This Line Re
 gently Invented in Ireland.
Et Ks Said to Re an Improvement Oves Many of Such Instruments
 Now fin Use in This Country.

A novel invention in the way of a idepthometer. has recently been com. ,pleted in Ireland, and promises to su- persede many other forms of these in. struments
 The depthometer is an instrument designed to show the depth of liquids either in open vessels--such as water tanks, vats, ships holds, well. etc. or of liquids enclosed in vessels under any degree of pressure. as in the case of petroleum tanks in some motor cars and other vessels of this kind.
 The diagram shows the depthometer attached to tank containing liquid. The instrument, shown in section, IS placed somewhat above the tank and registers the exact depth of liquid in the tank by means of the column of liquid seen in the gauge glass. When wishing to ascertain the depth of liquid in the vessel connected, it Is merely necessary to raise the lever marked Compressor lever and bring it back again to its starting point. On doing this the exact depth being measured will be shown by the column in the gauge glass of the depthometer.
 The parts of the depthometer shown in the diagram are as follows Two, chambers, fixed one above the other, are connected by gauge-glass tube. open at both ends, which reaches al- most to the bottom of the lower cham Der and only just enters the upper chamber from beneath The upper is called the "upper chamber and the lower chamber is called the gauge reservoir The latter has attached to its top a flexible lair chamber capa- bic of being enlarged or reduced in area by the compressor lever shown in the diagram. To the upper part of the air chamber short tube and coupling Is attached, from which the line tube, ,(No. D can be carried to the distant vessel The line tube may be bent in any way convenient for fixing and should finish at the top of the tank, where it is attached to a dip pipe. the open end of which reaches to the bot tom of the tank.

In the industrial battle being fought between nations. the. most important weapon is an intelligent man technl- cally educated, This has been ac- knowledged in Germany for twenty years; in the United States for fifteen years, and it is now being acknow- ledged in England. think that this is true, says Dr Duncan in the Engi- neering Magazine. Any nation that can put on the market product cheaper than any other nation will sooner or later have the monopoly of the sale of that product. Tn national politics, tariffs and subsidies may. for n time, give temporary advantage to one nation or the other, but in the long run 1t is a question of cheap produc. tion. The cost of production depends on two things~-the availability of raw materials and the brains of the people who develop that material into fin ished products.

 ''It was born of the. wide western plain, reared in the freedom of the endless prairie and flowed peacefully and with dignity by the tide of the aborigine, who admitted it's beauty and let that beauty develop.
 ''It truly is Cinderella of rivers-of noble birth, now made to drudge and slave in the. dust and ashes of the city"
 No one may recognize 1t from the de scription, but the Chicago river is meant. The characterization is that of a Chicago clubwoman, Mrs. Kate s. Woods, says the Chicago Tribune.
 The river has been abused There is no doubt of that in Mrs. Woods mind, for she declares the city has been un- grateful and has chided where the abo- rigine lauded. -so
 For almost thirty years after his coming she says, "the white man found that the natural course of the river did not run counter to his. Soon, however, the new city became harsh stepmother, and the Cinderella of rivers was sent to work in the dirt and soot of manufacturing hearth"
 It is sad for even a river to have to work, Mrs. Woods contended. But worse than that is the ingratitude of Chicago. So appealing was the plea for the river and so harsh was the ar raignment of the city that an auditor proposed the organization of a society for the prevention of cruelty to the Chicago river. The city is cruel for:
 We never gave this Cinderella a chance to put on new or bright raj ment. We never gave her a chance even to wash her face until the drain age canal went through, and that was merely for the sake Of ourselves, not to enhance the beauty of the river
 How good the river has been to all of us and how little we appreciate it! It is despised, neglected and over worked. It is used as dump, ditch and even as an open sewer. Men stop it's current with big, cumbersome tun- nels below and span it with unsightly bridges above; they stick ugly piles and piers in it: they make 1t mathe- mathically straight and inartistic and then throw up their hands in astonish- ment, crying, How ugly, what an abominationv
 There is hope for the future" Mrs. |. Woods held. Let us each be a fairy to bring Cinderella back to her own, the Cinderella which has drudged for us for seventy years

Rat Makes Himself Tsefu1.

Tn Middletown, Conn, is a store, which Is noted for the fact that no flies exist there. The thing has caused much comment, for most of the flies that come in during the day would be gone in the morning. The mystery was solved the other night by people who sat on a porch opposite the store Shortly after the store was closed at six o'clock a large rat was seen mak- ing his way up the inside of the win dow frame. feeding on flies as he went along. He proceeded from place to place, planning his attacks so that not a fly escaped him. Several people were called by the diseoverer to watch the work of the rodent. The proprietors do not intend to interfere with the rat

 lines on the diagram. This pipe is, however, not used if the vessel be open to the atmosphere, and in that case coupling No. 2 is left open to the air.
 The gauge reservoir is next almost filled with the indicating fluid (petrol, water, etc), and when at rest the liquid should just appear at the base of the visible portion of the gauge glass The instrument Is then ready for use +s 3
 The method of working is as follows, Raise the compressor lever to its high est point, thus causing the air cham ber to expand and take in supply of air; the latter enters at coupling No. 2, passes through the upper chamber, down the gauge glass, through the liquid in the gauge reservoir and final- ly reaches the air chamber. On de- pressing the lever the air in this cham ber becomes compressed and passes on the liquid in the gauge reservoir. The air cannot however, return through the gauge glass. as the end of the lat ter is sealed by the indicating liquid. Some of the air. therefore, passes into the line tube No. l, and on reaching the tank forces out any liquid which may have risen in the dip pipe, and ultimately the excess of air escapes from the open end of the dip pipe into the liquid in the tank:
 During this operation the liquid column in the N@puge glass Of the depthometer will be seen to rise gradually to certain point and then stand. The column ceases to rise far ther the moment the air commences to escape at the open end of the dip pipe in the tank. and the column thus shown will be equal in height to the depth of liquid in the tank, as 1t will be seen that the air, having completely filled the line tube has created an ex- act balance between the column of liquid in the tank and the indicating column of the depthometer.
