A fan that gives out, instead of q
cooling breeze, blast Of hot air, has
been invented by M. de Mare. a Bel
gian. The blades are of mica, on
which the arranged resistance coils
that are electrically heated to a high
temperature. M. de Mare finds that
compressed air absorbs the heat from
the coils with great rapidly. and he
accordingly incloses his fans in cas-
ing with an opening through which
the hot blast issues. He is thus en-
abled to pass through the coils cur.
rent which, when the fan is at rest,
would melt the tin wire. but which,
when it is in motion, does not even
make 1t red-hot.

PLAGUE OF MOSQUITOES.

The plague seems to be confined to the

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
Republican Plurality Is About ST.
5OO@The New Leg
islature.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. g.
With only two small towns missing,
the republican plurality of 31,5O0 in
Wednesdays election is believed to be
within few votes of the correct fig
ures. Four years ago it was 81 1872. The
total vote for governor without the two
towns is: Bell (rep.), 1891; Porter
(dem.), 16,492-a republican plurality
Of 31,449. The missing towns had re-
publican plurality last year Of GO. A tabu-
lation of the returns compared with
those Of 1900 show that the republicans
gained in eight counties an aggregate Of
1913 votes. The loss in six counties shows
an aggregate of 1,432, making net re-
publican loss of 444. On the other hand
the democrats gained in three counties
an aggregate of PIP votes, losing in
the other IL an aggregate of 1,241, max
ing net democratic loss of 1929.
The next legislature will be more COM
pletely controlled by the republicans
than for many years. The returns from
221 towns show that the senate will be
soldily republican, where last year there
were five democrats. Returns for the
house show 1856 republicans, 80 demo-
Gratis, 3 Independents and 2 citizens
members. Last year the democrats had
50 members in the house. "A feature of
the incoming legislature is the large
number of prominent meh, many of
whom have filled more prominent state
Offices and who apparently desire to re-
turn to public life.
There were four tickets ins the field
Tuesday-republican, democratic, pro-
hibitionist and socialist. The congress.
sional elections also were held Tues
day, all parties having candidates, but
both present republican members Of
the house, Kittredge Haskins, of Brat
tleboro. and David ]. Foster, of Burl-
ington, have large majorities..
The legislature elected Tuesday will
return Redfield Proctor to the United
States senate.

DEATH Turks IN AUTO.
A Pittsburg Machine That Recently
Killed Woman Fatally Injuries
Three More Persons. IN

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 10. - Three per-
sons have been injured in collision
between large racing automobile and
park trap. All will probably die. The
accident occurred at Lang and Penn av-
enues. Those injured were:
G. B. Lawton. af
Miss Dora Murdoch.
Miss Carrie Murdoch, all Of Pitts
burg. 8f, tn NJ
The trap was overturned with the
three victims underneath. Firemen
from an engine house on the corner
stopped the horse. The automobile is
said to have belonged to an architect
who is now under Indictment in con-
nection with the death Of q woman who
was run down in Duquesne borough
three months ago. He was not in the
car when the collision with the park
trap occurred.

According to estimates of an emf
nent civil engineer, the water running
from the present land surface of the
globe to sea level would produce, If all
utilized. 10,34O million horse power,
day and night. On the other hand,
the present output of coal for a whole
years (225.000,000 tons) If so burned
as to produce this horse power. could
keep 1t up for only half a day. In 9TH
er words. the worlds water power is
over 700 times it's present available
coal power. and can not be used up as
the latter cana fact which may COM
fort those who are anticipating with
fear the time when our coal supply
will have been exhausted.

Ten thousand Participate in Parade
at San Francisco-saratoga
Gets Next Conclave.

San Francisco, Sept THE twenty
ninth triennial conclave Of the order Of
Knights Templar was inaugurated
Tuesday with grand parade. which
brought into contrast the thirteenth
and twentieth centuries and recalled
the age of chivalry, when Richard
Occur de Leon Saladin battled for pos
session Of the Holy City. With fiut-
tering gonfalons, with richly capari-
soned horses prancing in gay accoutre-
ments, 10000 men who have passed
through the vigil of the squire and
have symbolically received the golden
spurs of knighthood marched with nod
ding white and black plumes with white
maltese crosses on their left shoulders.
with swords flashing and with the
banner of the cross flung to the breeze,
over seven miles of the city's gayly
decorated and thronged streets.
San Francisco, Sept. 8.-The COMPETE
ton drill between four well-drilled
teams of knights templar was Wednes-
days feature of the triennial conclave.
Louisville commandery, No. 1, won the
first prize; st. Bernard, Chicago, was
second: Ivanhoe, Milwaukee, third;
Malta, Binghamton, N. Y, fourth. Fully
$4,000 people witnessed the marching
and counter-marching of the competing
teams.

Critics of the modern "sky-scrapers, !"
with their frowning steel frames, have
predicted that these lofty buildings
will be short-lived, and that they are
all destined to crumble away. The
steel skeletons Of these structures are
mostly hidden from observation, and
no one can tell whether they are in
tact or rusting away, but experts con-
clude, from examination Of the frame
Of one that has recently been demol-
ished in New York, that such fears
as those mentioned are groundless. In
this building, which had stood four
years. the only rust in the frame was
that acquired during construction.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Encouraging Results Are shown-set-
Element Of Industrial Troubles
Has Good Effect.

New York, Sept. 10-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Holiday influence is calculated to check
distribution of merchandise, but the
past week has brought more encourag-
ing results in the business world, and
from many points come reports of stead
lily expanding trade, while it is not ex-
ceptional to find comparisons with the
corresponding week last year favor
able to 1904. Retail trade in fall lines
Of dry goods, clothing, millinery and
nearly all wearing apparel shows a
healthy growth, and for hardware,
household utensils and kindred lines
there is a broader demand. The best
development of the week was the re-
sumption Of work in many industries
that have suffered through strikes,
while several serious controversies were
averted. Crop progress is better than
average and high prices promise large
profits to the farmers. saa ''4
Failures this week numbered 200 in
the United States, against 172 last year,
and 16 in Canada, compared with 10 a
year ago." a @ ~
Bradstreet's says: "Trade, crop and
industrial developments have been gen
orally favorable this week. Distribu-
tons on fall and winter trade account
has enlarged at most markets, the corn
crop has progressed another week
toward final maturity, which, however,
this year is later than usual, and several
industries hitherto greatly depressed or
operating on short time, have resumed
running full. All in all, the prospects
continue favorable for q fairly active
trade In most lines, but nothing in the
way Of record breaking Is looked for in
general business or in crop outturn..''
