Increasing Attendance.

There is no longer any doubt of the
complete success of this fifty million
dollar exposition. The Paris exposi-
ton, Chicago worlds fair and all 9TH
ers are dwarfed by comparison with
this greatest of all worlds fairs.
The weather in st. Louis for the
next month is ideal and the trip via OF
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis railroad is
delightful. Only eighteen hours to the
gates of the fair from the twin cities
through a farmers paradise. Every
mile beautiful and interesting. Two
pslatial trains day, with dining cars.
buffet library cars, Pullman and chair
cars. Cheap excursion tickets on sale.

Fishing by Telephone.

A Norwegian has invented queer
way of finding out where the fish are.
A microphone, which is an instrument
that will catch and transmit the least
bit of sound. Is lowered into the water
from fishing smack, and a wire from
1t leads to a telephone aboard the boat
Now, as the herring, Goldfish and mack
ereI schools number thousands and
tens Of thousands Of fish, their passage
through the water naturally causes a
rushing sound, which can be heard by
the fishermen at the telephone, and
thus they are enabled to lower their
nets at the right time and in the right
place.

Experience with .Alfalfa.

Experience in Wisconsin favors the
use of at least twenty pounds of good
alfalfa seed per acre, early spring
sowing, fall blowing and growing with
barley or oats as nurse crop, sowing
one bushel per acre 1t has been OBJ
served that varieties Of alfalfa grown
at the state experiment station show
very little difference in appearance or
yielding capacity, and In the alfalfa
fields of seventeen counties of the
state the plants developed root tu-
bercles without special soil incubation.
The crop was found to cure with no
greater difficulty than heavy cuttings
of clover.

Taxation enables many curious tables
Of statistics to be compiled. 1t would
probably puzzle the best Of English
statisticians to guess even approx
mately at the number of billiard tables
In use in England. There is no such
difficulty in France, where the billiard
table is taxed luxury, and its relative
frequency In communes Of all grades
of population and wealth is made the
subject of calculations as elaborate as
they are ingenious In all France there
are S9,676 billiard tables, divided
among 1901 communes and realizing
more than 100000 In taxes.-London

To Pension All Citizens.
The Rev. Edward Everett Hale be-
fore committee of the Massachusetts
legislature advocated the proposed pen
sion of 81 a week for citizens of good
character after their sixty-fifth year if
they have paid their poll taxes for
years. He spoke Of it as
species of compulsory insurance which
would not pauperize the aged poor. He
said the problem of the old man was
the hardest which charities have to-
solve. Such a pension would enable
old men to live independently with
their own families.

shops. On the following day the shops
were reOpened and all of the men
who were willing to return under the
old conditions were re-employed. An
officer Of the road said the fight was for
the privilege of employing whom they
pleased and that negotiations with the
union had been broken off because ii
had shown itself powerless to maintain
an agreement. The union leaders
claim that they are not striking for a
closed shop, but do want fixed wage
scale. Sympathetic strikes were ex-
pected.
cIothiers For Open Shop.
The associations of clothing manu-
facturers at New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Rochester all
posted notices May 2, giving notice
that thereafter the shops would be run
on the open plan, but that no change
in hours or wages would be made or
any discrimination against union men,
Other May Day Movements.
The gauge of battle thrown down by
the New York Metal Trades associa-
ton in favor of the "open shop" was
taken up aggressively by the Brother
hood of Boilermakers and Iron Ship
builders May 8, thus tying up all
shipyards in that vicinity. About
5000 workmen were affected and 1000
helpers struck in sympathy. =" The
public at both Boston and Chicago has
been inconvenienced to some extent by
the strike Of bakers. Quantities of
bread were shipped from Pittsburg to
supply the Chicago trade. y About
$4,000 coal miners in the Panhandle
district struck Monday because Of the
refusal of the operators to sign the
proposed wage scale. The Pitts
burg local Of structural ironworkers
and bridgemen ordered out it's 600 men
May 4 because a number of nonunion
men had been put to work on a rail-
road bridge at Coral, Pa. This strike
was expected to extend to an interna-
tional movement against the American
Bridge company = Il The members of
the Chicago Transfers union were
locked out May by the employers,
who were threatened with strikes. By
thus preventing the delivery of mate
rial to contractors nearly all building
operations in the city were brought to
a standstill. y About 1000 picture

Decrease In Pennsy's Earnings.
Notwithstanding the semiannual divi
dend of 3 per cent declared by the
Pennsylvania railroad the directors OF
that system face a decrease Of net
earnings for the first three months OF
this year amounting to $3,537 300. The
gross earnings decreased $1,93O,OOC
and the expenses increased $1,6O7 200
The increase in expenses was due to
permanent improvements.
Diamonds Still Higher.
The De Beers selling syndicate has
advanced the price Of all grades of
rough diamonds 5 per cent. This is the
fifth advance since February, 1903, and
makes total increase of from 80 to
35 per cent on the output Of the dia-
mond monopoly. No ordinary trade
conditions to justify these advances is
discernible and the market at this sea-
son is unusually dull, especially in this
country, which takes over half Of the
worlds output of diamonds

Strike Of Vehicle Builders.
To enforce their demand for a nine
hour workday and new wage scale
5000 carriage and wagon builders of
the New York district went on strike
May g. A minimum rate of $21 a week
for heavy work and from that down to
$16.15 for wheel riders was asked.
Overtime was to be charged and only
union men to be employed. This de-
mand was made upon 600 manufacture

Professor Bells Kite Show.
Models of the kites invented by Alex

solve the problem of aerial flight, were
exhibited by the inventor before the
National Geographic society at Wash

DR.. Bell said that the difficulty with
an aeroplane built ON horizontal lines
was that the weight increased in great
er ratio than the sustaining surface.
With his kites the weight increased
with the same proportion as the sus-
tanning surface. He had found that a
dozen of these cells joined together
side by side would fly in a breeze, al
though he was as yet unable to explain
why they did so. AS soon as the prin-
ciple is established he proposes to use
Il motor instead Of the wind as pro-
