when the people had very little reliance
upon thir own efforts.

Seed Is Natures Gem.

In natures great treasure house
the seed is the one priceless gem.
Compared to it the great deposits OF
coal, the mines of silver and gold and
of diamonds and priceless stones are
as nothing. Man counts his wealth
in dollars and cents, in mining and
railroad shares, and in house and
lands; while bis primal necessities
are limited TO food and clothing.
Without these all other tokens of af
fuence are void. These indeed are
the sources of true wealth. and the
grass Of the field supplies them all
directly or indirectly.
The cereal grains-wheat, rye, oats,
barley. rice and Indian corn-which
are the seeds of true grasses are
convertible directly into food. The
succulent leaves and culm Of the wild
grasses furnish sustenance to mil
lions of cattle, sheep and goats and
are transformed by them into flesh
milk, wool and hides; thus indirectly
providing meat and clothing. They
also protect the soil from flood and
drought a.d landslide. Sending their

waves. Thus grass, the synonym OF
frailty. is able to raise its tiny green
scepter against the destructive pow
er OF the elements.

Adirondack Abodes.

There are camps and camps in this

which are often found in the great
North woods bearing this modest title
are unlike any other camps in the
world. Outwardly they are villages of

Power Conveyed Across the River.
While the Canadian charter permits
the transmission of power throughout
the province of Ontario the pressing
market for it for some time will be on
this side of the river. whence it will
be largely conveyed by cable until the
American power houses catch up with
the demand, if ever. Power, plant, and
construction In dangerous localities is
a slow proposition. The electric gen.
orators or great dynamos are located
at the surface at the top end of shafts,
100 feet long, set vertically in turbine
wheels, which revolve them. AS the
water rushes out Of the wheels 1t is
made to turn upward and uphold the
entire weight of turbine, shaft, and
dynamo, of 10000 pounds. which
would otherwise test the strength of
any bearings ever devised. The water
passes from the turbine wheels
through the tunnel at the rate of TWEEN
ty miles per hour, emptying below the
falls. The current of 2,200 volts pass
es from the electrical generators to the
huge transformers in a special station.

Whether free and unIestrsined conpeti-
ton was wise, he said, was an economic
question with which the court need not
concern itself; the question was that of
statutory law.
The suit was instituted by the United
States against the Northern Securities
Company and the three railroad COM
panies-the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Burlington-and their
leading stockholders for the purpose of
dissolving the merger Of the two roads,
which the United States declared had
been created by the formation of a hold
ing company. This consolidation was al
legged to be in violation of the Sherman
anti. trust law. 1t was claimed on be
half of the government that the CONSOLE
dation was in effect a pool created TO
promote the interests not of one system
at the expense Of the other but of both
at the expense of the public. The rail-
roads claimed that the transfer of the
stock of the two companies TO the securi-
ties company was in the nature of a sale
and perfectly legitimate.

A new idea for the treatment Of tu-

phia where patients suffering from the
disease are to live in glass houses. The
institution win be known as the Phila-
delphia hospital. which comprises six
pavilions, each 10 accommodate Is pa
tients. There is no more metal about
the pavilions than is actually required
for frame work, and surrounding each
pavilion is a six-foot porch enclosed with
glass The inside glass is ribbed suffi-
GENTLY to make it opaque and is set in
frames reaching 20 feet above the floor
and arranged to open automatically like
doors. The glass Of the porches is clear
and transparent The buildings may be
occupied during both summer and win
ter. The heating apparatus in the base
ment includes a blower which forces
the warm air through metal conduits into
the apartment where the patient is re-

pavilion is of cement and in the rear Of
each is a glazed brick structure, contain
ing the kitchen, bath and toilet rooms.
The cost of constructing the glass houses
was $4,000.
