Washington, Nov. 3.-The estimates
Of the war department for the fiscal

$103,686,780. This is S22,242,612 less

mitted a year ago, and S3,832,38S less
than the total appropriations made for

The amount estimated as necessary
for the military establishment, which
embraces the cost of maintenance of the
army and of the military academy at

include the Improvement of rivers and
harbors and various national parks
throughout the country, and of certain
public buildings and grounds in and
around Washington, and the construc-
ton Of seacoast Notifications, military
posts, ETC., the estimates call for APP
preparations amounting in the aggre-
gate to S22,S76,S34 for the fiscal year

MINERAL WOOL.
A Valuable Product From What Was
Once Regarded as Waste

Valuable Product From What Was
Once Regarded as Waste.
Mineral wool is soft substance con-
sisting of mass of very fine mineral
fibers, which interlace one another in
every direction and thus form an end
less number Of minute air cells. 1t is
made quite simply, by directing a blast
of steam against a stream of molten
Stag. Some of the best is made from
blast furnace Stag, an admirable illus
tratiOn of the value Of what was once
regarded as a waste product
The stag is melted in large cupola,
and as it trickles out of the tap hole
it meets a high pressure steam jet
which blows it in f1eecy clouds into the
storage room provided for it. The
heavier wool naturally settles down
first, while the lighter portions are
blown further along by the force of the
steam, and SO the material naturally
sorts itself
Mineral wool is freproof and may be
used as a sound deadener between the
floors of buildings; it also serves as a
honconducting covering for cold stor-
age chambers and for pipes. For this
last purpose the wool that Is made
from sandstone is best, for it contains
no sulphur, which, when moisture is
present, is corroding agent

MATCHING BY HEAT.

The Principle OF Incubation Has Been
Used For Ages.
The ancient Egyptians from time i'm
memorial have Matched large quaint
ties of eggs by artificial warmth, APP
piled through peculiar but simple
ovens.
Bonnema1n, in 1777, was the first in
more recent times to put the process
upon a sound commercial footing. He
communicated to the Acadamy Of
Sciences an interesting fact he had no.
iced upon the method chickens used
to break their shells, and for some
time before the revolution he fur
nished the Partisan markets with poul-
try at a time Of the year when farmers
ceased to supply it.
His apparatus was founded upon the
principle Of the circulation of hot wa
ter through series of connected pipes,
novelty which was afterward ap-
piled to the warming of buildings. Wa
ter saucers were placed in the egg
drawers to keep up the necessary
moisture, and twenty eggs We're in
serted daily for twenty days, when the
first brood appeared. In 1925 D'Arcet
obtained chickens by Matching eggs in
the warm water baths of Vichy.
Modern incubators are essentially
water baths, with an automatic regu-
lator to keep the temperature to 40 de-
grees G.

In a. Tight Place.

To save himself from being crushed
to death by Great Northern freight
train, James L. Farrell of Austin leaped
from the railroad bridge over the Mis-
sissipi at St. Cloud, falling fifty feet to
bank of the river below. Both tof his
wrists were broken, his arm dislocated,
a rib fractured and his face and scalp
cut and torn. He was conscious when
picked up, and as soon as his injuries
were attended to, left the hospital
Farrell and William Connolly, also of
Austin, had cars of movables in the
train and were going to Gray Eagle.
The freight stopped upon the bridge
and Farrell left his car to go to the car
of his friend. He had not accomplished
this when the train started and left
him the alternative of dying on the
bridge or jumping for his life to the
ground below.

The Wornout Old Man.

When we become old we want to get
off the streets. We always sympathize
with the old men who have nothing
to do, who are not wanted anywhere
and who have no place to go. When
we become old and useless we want
place Of our own to go to, a place
that is absolutely our own and that
we can manage as we please. We
hope it will be little place where
we can potter with fruits and flowers,
vegetables and chickens, and keep
busy. We don't want to give people
opportunity to show neglect nor idle
time in which to see visions Of the
grim monster. Old men who loiter
about the streets, it always seems to
us, make a mistake.-Atchison Globe.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Continued Improvement Is Shown
No Evidence Of Anxiety
for the Future.

New York, Nov. 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Business improves steadily, and there
is no evidence of anxiety regarding
the future. Payments are more
promptly met, tending to stimulate
preparations for coming trade and the
disposition to limit purchases to i'm
mediate needs is gradually disappear
ing. Conservatism during the sum-
mer and autumn had beneficial effect,
reducing stocks to a low point. AS
demand brOadens, this scarcity of sup
ply produces pressure for quick deliv-
cry, and prices are strengthened. Aside
from Imitation caused by speculation,
there is no better sign of commercial
progress than advancing commodity
markets. ALI the leading branches of
manufacture are in better position,
with noteworthy activity at iron fur
naces, wooden mills and footwear fac
tories.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 229, against 233
last week, 215 the preceding week and
246 the corresponding week last year
Failures in Canada number 27, against
28 last week, 80 the preceding week
and ~ last year."
Bradstreet's says: Warm weather
activity in fall farm work and, to q
lesser degree, ante-election interest
have detracted from retail trade dis.
tribution north and west For like
reasons jobbing sales are rather
smaller in volume. Against this how.

THE BAGPlPES,
They Were Used by the EARLY Creeks
Romans and Egyptians.


Romans and Egyptians.
Bagpipes, mentioned in jeremiah
Xviii, 36, Mine heart shall sound for
Moab like pipes; like pipes for the men
Of Kir-heres," and elsewhere in Scrip
ture, were used also by the early Egyp-
tians.
Both Greeks and Romans knew the
instrument, for a coin of Nero shows
upon one side the tbia utricularis, a
bag with two reeds and nine pipes.
PrOcopius also, who wrote about $50
A. D., asserts that Roman soldiers
sometimes marched to the sound of
the bagpipes, and it is not impossible
that they introduced them into the
British islands.
The earliest more modern reference
to them is in an Irish MS Of 115O, and
an Irish Illuminated MS. Of 1890 de-
picts a pig playing on the bagpipes,
The Scottish highlanders were the first
and only people to use the great war
pipe, as the highland regiments still
do, but, in spite Of Sir Walter SCOTS
assertion, it is very doubtful whether
they charged at Bannockburn to the
'skirI' of the pipes.-London Answers

holds that the present will is not a gift
