MILE-A-MlNUTE WATER RIDE
Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman Goes at Express Train
 Speed.

Among the many interesting experi-
 nts with motor boats, says the Lon Ebn Mail, perhaps the most pictuT- esque were those on the Seine at Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert. in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion and Bouton, brought out their bateau glisseur, or gliding boat It is also called hydroplane, and that name is really indicative of it's construction.
 With De Dion l4-horse power mo- tor, the count attained a speed of 2S kilometers an hour in his first ex- periments, and now he has added to that speed and has made 32 Kilome- ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
 The inventor of this hydroplane is not, however, content with this, and will try in day or two to raise tho speed to 35 or even 40 kilometers, or % miles an hour, or speed that is not exceeded by the use of 40-hOrse power motor.
 The boat itself is 36 feet long and nine feet wide. To the bottom of the boat are affixed five planes or fins. w uSA IuC UOdC Is SIdIlOndl CAOoO hhO hang vertically in the water. They are hinged, however, and are all under control of the driver. When the mo- tor is set in motion and the boat begins to move these planes, begin ming at the bow. are gradually given a backward angle. The boat rises in the water and then gradually rests upon it, with the stern of the boat only immersed. The speed increases. and the boat, following the inclination of the planes, glides along the surface of the water just as an aeroplane glides on the air, and with not much more resistance.
 It is confidently expected that with an. increased horsepower motor the hydroplane will reach a speed of to miles an hour.

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Romans Held Vegetable in High Es- teem Many Years Before
 Christ.

Of all food plants there is none which has been so long known or been pos sessed of so distinguished lineage as the asparagus. Its records reach back almost to the beginning of authentic his tory, and it is mentioned by the comic poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B. c. The Romans held the vegetable in high esteem. The elder Cato wrote a work which is still extant, De re Rustica," and it treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, in his natural history, written about 60 A. D., has much to say about it. He feelingly observes: "Of all the products of your garden your chief care should be asparagus" and he devotes several the best methods of raising it. He as serts that the soil about Ravenna was so favorable to its production that three heads grown in that district had been known to weigh Roman pound. This pound seems to have been about equal to II ounces in our day. so it would an- parently have taken four of the stalks to have reached a pound of our weight. The asparagus being essentially southern plant, 1t is possible that the stock growing in Italy was of more vigorous growth than that of our north ern cline. It. is found all around the shores of the Mediterranean and branches off into four or five distinct species besides the one ordinarily used for edible purposes.

4 HoRD OF COMFORT
 To the Distressed.

Fortunately for those suffering with Rheumatism in all its various forms, in4 cluding Sore Joints, Sore Muscles, and Sore Feet, remedy has been discovered by modern science which in every instance effects a speedy and positive cure. This new remedy is founded on scientific prin- ciples which are acknowledged by the medical world as the only correct treat ment for Rheumatic or Neuralgia troubles. Medicines taken internally rarely ever ef- feet cure without upsetting the stomach. As rule, they injure the digestive organs, shatter the nerves, and in many instances the patient contracts drug habit which leads eventually to decline of the physi- cal and mental forces.
 Paracamph is the new remedy and 1t Is a departure from the antiquated methods. Paracamph enters into the system through the natural channels, namely, the pores of the skin. When applied it opens the pores and allows the healing, soothing oils to penetrate the sore, infamed mebranes and muscles, removes the congestion and draws out the fever and inflammation, by inducing sweating. This is the only treat- ment that can be indorsed by science, and is guaranteed to cure even the most obstl- nate cases of Rheumatic Swellings if used as directed. Paracamph can be procured at drug stores in 25 cent, and 50 cent, and tr oo bottles. Write for book of testimo- nia1s, sent free. The Paracamph Company Louisville, Ky, U. $. A.

SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.

The largest irrigation enter prise in America is located in the rich Snake River valley of Idaho, which has been reclaimed through mans handi-workss alone. In this valley which is now com fortably settled, there remains 270, 900 acres of land belonging to the state of Idaho, which is under the Twin Falls irrigation canals and open to settlement. This land is among the richest in America, as experiments have proved. Potatoes here yield 200 to 400 bushels to the acre of large size and fine variety. Wheat yields from 40 to 70 bushels to the acre with an average weight of 63 pounds per bushel. Three crops of alfalfa are raised each season in the Snake River valley. The climate is superb and of great value as a tonic for mind and body. Home-seekers' low rates to the Snake River valley are in effect via Union Pacific, the only direct route. Why not visit this district in person and fully realize it's great possibili- ties? For full information ad- dress

REPORT OF THE
STATE PRISON.
Head Keeper Osborne Favors
Finger Print System Crowd
ed Condition There.
Special 10 he Eveuing Aieqps.


Trenton, Dec. Ex-Governor Murphy
has received the annual reports of the
several departments of the New Jersey
State Prison ami important among these
Is that of Principal Keeper George o.
Osborne. The report OF Mr.. Osborne Is
an exceptionally short and comprehen-
sive one. In 1t he makes several sugges
tions and recon mendations.
His chief recommendation is that the
Finger Print System of Identification of
prisoners be added to the present method
In vogue at the prison. Mr.. Osborne
does not go into a detailed discussion of
this recommendation hut simply dis
misses it with this comment;
"while attending the Prison Congress
which met this year at Quincy, Ill, u
paper was read by j. X. Farrier, OF the
Criminal Investigation Department of
Scotland Yard, London, ON the Identified
ion of criminals by the Finger Print Sys-
tenn. / would recommend this system
and the taking of IL photograph in adj
dition to the system now In use at the
prison. This wouli entail very little
expense and would be al, that / think
necessary for Identification"
Mr.. Osborne's report shows that the
total population of the prison at the end
Of the fiscal year, November /, was LIS.
The highest number of prisoners In con-
finement at any one time during the year
was 1.2e1 and the lowest, 1,125. There
were received during the year 1,7O4 'pris-
oners and the number discharged was
$50.
The population at present is made up
Ms follows: New Jersey ~convicts, males,
i,035: females, 81; United States--eonvicts
males IN, females 5.
Accompanying the report of Mr.. Os-
borne Is that of the Board of Prison In
spectois. This shows that the total ex-
for all purposes during the
fiscal year were SOB, 400. %. The cash re-
ceipts Of the prison for the year were
$50. 532.es and this amount deducted from
the preceding one reduces the expendi-
lures the net sum of $40, 727. 96.
The inspectors comment upon the
failure Of the State Prison enlargement
commission to recommend the use of
600. Apr prlated by the last Legls-
for a new building TO furnish cell
for about 800 inmates.and also a
building on Third street to be used as
dwelling OF the keeper. In this con
nectlon the inspectors says: 1.-THE
necessity for more cell room Is more urg-
Hnt now than then. We ave hut 900
rells with i.175 prisoners. This condition
renders II impossible to comply with the
demanding the separate c%onfine-
of each prisoner.

LIGHTS FOR

Railroad Decides to Install Then
at Trenton on New York
Division.

Trenton, Dec. 29.-It was stated on
good authority Tuesday that the
Pennsylvania Railroad company will
brightly illuminate Clinton and Broad
street stations with electric lights, and
in place of the oil lamps on the signals
in this section, place electric globes.
This change will probably be made as
o o as the power house at the new
car shops is completed. The company
will use the plant to light oil its
buildings in this locality according to
plans under consideration.
The signals for miles around this
city are supplied with oil lamps.
There is always O possibility of these
lamps being distinguished by some
cause and thereby endangering the
lives of manv. When the electric
lights are placed in the signals this
danger will be eliminated to q great
degree.
The power house at the car shops 10
to be q handsome structure and the
engines and dvnamos are to be of
great strength. The foundation of this
building has been completed.
Clinton and Broad street stations,
it Is said. will be brightly lighted all
night. At present there is but little
light in front of the CLIFTON street
station. 1t Is planned to plsce numer.
