Joe wheeler stim Ready.

General Joseph Wheeler C'Fighting
Joe'O of Virginia thinks of going to
Manchuria as a spectator of the war
between Russia and japan. The only
difficulty in the way is that Of ex-
pense, for General Wheeler is by no
means a rich man. He has always
been of opinion that in the end Rus
sia will win by weight of numbers and
superiority of resources. 'Japan's
only hope" says the general, was in
a series of smashing blows quickly de-
livered which would have shattered
Russian power in the Far East in short
order. They have not been able to do
this, and, in my judgment. Russia will
certainly OutlaSt them. Japan is now
approaching the first serious crisis of
the war. 1 refer to the conditions at
home. The first flush of triumph is
past. The hardship of modern war is
now being felt. There is hardly a
home in all Japan where there is not
mourning for a lost or wounded soldier
The Japanese are experiencing the Bit
terness and sorrows of war and soon
will have to show whether they care
to go on losing men"

Range Finders ON warships.

The British admiralty has suspended
the practice of fitting the position of
the range finder on an electric light
platform placed on the foremast of a
warship. 1t is imperative, to facilitate
the firing of the guns, that the means
Of ascertaining and transmitting the
range from the vessel to the antagonist
be communicated to the gun crew with
complete security, from a perfectly re-
liable observing position. The decision
of the naval department is due to the
result of the engagement between the
Russian warship variag and the Jap
anese fleet. In this conflict the men
operating this vital department were
rendered hors de combat early in the
engagement, with the result that the
gun crews on the Variag labored under
great disadvantages. From this it is
conclusively demonstrated that any OBJ
servation post placed in the fighting
tops is impracticable. The Japanese
themselves have also recognized this
crucial point and in their new vessels
that are in course of construction in
England special armored observation
towers are to be erected at various ad-
vantageous positions on the ships for
the installation of the range-finding ap-
paratus- In the case of the British
arrived at, though the matter is under
discussion and investigation.-Scien

AGAINST PARTIAL LOSS.

AS precaution against accident in
preventing him to open his perform
ance, Kubelik, the famous musician,
has had his right hand insured for
$40, 0,000-for each concert, and for $780,
900 against total disablement.
1t was only short time ago that
the scientific world was startled by the
unique and astonishing faculty pos
sessed by Eva w. Spear, young
woman of Bridgeport, Conn, who de-
veleoped the rare and peculiar fac
ulty of being able to whistle through
her larynx. AS far as known she has
the unique distinction of being the
only laryngeal whistler in the world,
without even an imitator. 1t has all
the softness and delicate shading of a
flute note and has already captivated
thousands who have heard it.
Following in the lead of leading
musicians and vocalists of the world,
Miss Spear, who has afforded high
order of entertainment for cultured
audiences throughout the United
States the past few years, has had an
insurance of $4,000 placed on her
voice and throat. and contemplates
this winter of having her throat un-
derwritten for $4,000 at every concert
at which she may appear in ''whis-
tling" numbers. which she does with
out the use of lips. tongue. larynx,
soft or hard, palate or cheek.

UNUSUAL KINDS
OF INSURANC
Risks Are Taken on Various
Members or Organs Which
Livelihood IsDependent On
INSURE SKILL
Some Stars Renew Policy
for Each Public Appear
ance, Others Run for Years

In the early fall all over the world
during the beginning of the winter
musical and theatrical season a pecu-
liar and large line Of business is car
ried on in a certain channel Of life in
surance, of which the general public
has little or no knowledge whatever
BY some underwriters it is termed
freak insurance" and interests prin-
cipally famous and notable celebri-
ties in the musical and theatrical
fields although this special line of In
surance has included costly trained
animals used for show purposes.
No less a parsonage than the cele-
brated Nine. Patti was one of the
originators of this extraordinary kind
of insurance. Her gifted voice, which
has been heard all over the world and
which is the most intangible of sub
jects, is insured for $4,000, on which
she pays a premium of 1925 a per-
formance.
Paderewski, OF international repu-
tation, has his hands underwritten
for $50,000, and for each of his con-
certs a temporary policy is taken out
for $500. He considers his hands
more precious and valuable to him
than any other member of his body
for in the loss of them he would be
deprived of the means of revealing his
soulful music and making his liveli-
hood.
Josef Hofmann, no less famous on
both continents, advocates most
strongly this kind of insurance, as he
goes further into the financial end of
1t, as can readily be seen when it is
known that he has set a price of $500
on each finger of both hands.
Think of it. Placing the sum of
$4,000 on the fingers OF your hands,
AS a matter of fact, Hofmann has
placed more insurance on his fingers
than on his life. And the same treat
ment holds good for the vast major
ity of those who insure at large fig
ure some particular portion of their

GREAT DREDGING MACHINE
TEARS OUT SOLID ROCK
Most Powerful Accessory Is Brought
to Aid of Great Engineer
ing Enterprises.


The Susquehanna Iron Company's
big plant will be in operation within
thirty days. 1t has been finished and
the great furnaces are ready for the
ore The stupendOus task of digging a
canal or inland harbor nearly a mile
in length from the new outer harbor to
the companys plant is now in prog
ress. This canal is to be 20 feet wide
and % feet deep. That is to say, it is
to be % feet below the mean level Of
the lake, so that in some places the ex-
cavation is to be forty feet in depth.
That's quite a big hole to dig in the
ground a mile long. but the Buffalo
Dredging Company expects to dig it
and build solid cement wharves on
both sides of it's entire length by the
first of next April
1t requires great engineering skill
and an enormous amount of physical
power to accomplish such a task.
There are 1400 feet Of submarine work
to be done, nearly half Of it through
the solid rock. Steam power and COM
pressed air are accomplishing II.
When examinations were made 1t
was found that a strip of rock nearly
mile long, 200 feet wide and ten feet
in thickness had to be cut out. 1t is
not shale rock or slate, but solid living
rock. The Buffalo Dredging Company
is ripping through that solid ledge of
rock with steam shovel. The dredge
used for that purpose is the greatest
tool Of its kind in the world. 1t looks
like giant mud dredge and is built
on the same principle as an ordinary
dredge. Down in its hold it has 800
horsepower steam engine. Its anchors
or spuds are made of giant Oregon fir.
tfifty-three feet long and forty-four
inches through. 1t has a dipper or
dredge with a capacity of seven cubic
yards. One man. with a dozen levers
before him. operates the whole ma
chine.-Buffalo Express.

THE GOOD RIGHT ARMS.

Sousa, Damrosch, Victor Herbert
and other celebrated bandmasters and
orchestra leaders of the United States,
who skillfully WELD with their right
hand the baton during every perform
ance of the musicians. have likewise
adopted the plan originated by Nine.
Patti of having their good right
hand" insured against loss by acci-
dent or inability to professionally
mark time.
Some surprise was caused recently
among the uninitiated by thel state
ment that the insurance of the late
Consul, the performing ape, was for
$125, 900. AS a matter of fact-and
without prejudice-this heavy insur-
ance is the policy now followed by all
notable entertainers.
1t Is we'll known that large amounts
of insurance have been placed on valu-
a BILE animals at home and abroad by
individual owners and proprietors OF
circuses and menageries, then why
should the sporting fraternity, with
speculative propensities, hesitate about
paying insurance premiums on the
lives of King Edward VII or other dis
tinguished members of the royal fami-
ilcS VI ESQICpc, WucAl IIlCy 1nONC dOOul
the country, sometimes travelling
among nihilists, who hae no great
amount of respect or love for them?
WHAT is CALLED FREAK"
That this is done is also a fact, and
for this reason King Edward is known
to have his life insured for a larger
amount of money than any other liv-
ing man in the world. This line of
freak insurance obtains more widely in
Europe, however, than it does here in
the United States.
Scores of freaks in every nart of the
world, who have been born without
arms, but are blessed with feet, by
which members they sew, knit and use
in the same manner as people in gen.
eral. who have come into the world
with a pair OF hands, have had their
lower extremities insured against loss
by accident. Deprived of their feet
they would be unable to earn a living.
Many of the uninitiated throughout
the country will thus learn for the first
time that many of the most famous
and celebrated musicians, vocalists and
whistlers, who use their voices, hands
and throats to entertain by their rare
gifts large audiences throughout the
world, carry more insurance on their
hands and voices than the general run
of people do on their lives.

"a mining company In the Elk

"the other day, found it necessary to
dip a 220O.foot pipe line In tar.
The superintendent began to load the
shipment to Baker, City, when he
happened to remembsr that It was q
triie cheaper to haul tar than To

"When Seymour bell was operat-

F. y. Buckuum has received a
letter from Frank Muzzy. written
from Goldheld, Nevada, In which he
says that he will not go into business
there, as he had intended, but will
return to Sumpter and devote his
time to mining interests IN this
vicinity. lie says that prices and
rent for property In that camp are so
high that they are practically pro.
hibitive. Which means. Of course.
that the business being done there
doesn't justify the rates charged.
Mr.. b lcknum takes this letter as n
text and breaches a very interesting
aud cheerful DISCOURSE, cheerful to
those whose lots are cast for keeps

1t into Arizona fifteen or twenty
years ago. While ackuowlegd ing
that there are rich mineral deposits
there, says even II a man IL fortunate

lief; but that the Creator never had
