Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Madison, Wis, Oct. Ex-Governor La
Toilette has returned from his lectur-
ing tour which began July 4 and took
him over the greater part Of the .coun-
try. He made about $4,000 on" the
tour, but this, was secondary to a de-
sire to put himself before the people
as presidential possibility in 1908 on
the railroad issue. a.
His resignation to accept senatorship
is now looked for in few days, as
the candidacy, of Speaker Lenroot for
governor is interpreted as meaning
that the governor will go to the sen
ate and that he favors Lenroot as his
successor. ,...
3 Lieutenant Governor Davidson is
expected to announce his candidacy fol-
governor as soon as he becomes gov.
ernor. It is not known at present how
many other candidates will seek the
republican nomination. The only
avowed candidate so far, in addition tc
Mr.. Lenroot, is Senator j. j. McGilli
vray of Black River Falls
Other men talked Of in connection
with the nomination are Senator A
L. Kreutzer Of Wausau, w. D. Conner Of
Marshfeld, Secretary Of State House1
and Senator W. H. Hatton.

Washington, Oct. 28. = Professor
Wiley's apoison squad is being re-
organized. This time the volunteers
will be requested to tackle cold-sterage
products. The success which attended
the experiments of the squad with food
In which preseryatiyes are used, and
many requests received by Secretary
Wilson, has prompted DIR. Wiley to be-
gin tests with foods stored in storage
plants.
This squad will begin work, or rathe,
will begin eating, in few days. Their
diet will be the most tempting morsels
to be obtained, scientifically cooked and
scientifically served, and they will be
asked to eat the food in way prescribed
by science.
ALI From Cold Storage.
There will be nothing upon the menu
that does not come out of cold storage
plant. The condition of the volunteers
when the experiment commences will be
noted and frequent comparisons will be
made to determine any changes that.
may occur as the experiment progresses.
Should 1T happen that the cold-storage
goods cause illness, the sick volunteer

last maybe a year; at least until all

OF the investigations will be offered the
different states for guidance for such
legislation as may be necessary to
protect the health of the people of the
respective commonwealth.
Blow for Beef Trust. .-s
The refrigerating plants constitute
one Of the principal portions of mod
ern abbatoir. and it will be seen what. a
staggering blow to the packers it would
be if the federal authorities We're to
place their stamp of disapproval on
cold storage products. With the various
states waiting to make laws governing
the storage of foods, there is no ques-
ton that an edict of this kind from the
department Of agriculture would have
an effect on the legislative bodies.
Interest in the experiments, there
! fore, will not be confined to the con-
sumers only, but will be general among
the persons engaged in the industry.
It is not the intention of the depart.
ment to confne its investigation to
products stored in the big warehouses
but the object is to inquire into the
various methods of refrigerating.

HIS RAILROAD TIES !
FROM CORNSTALK[S
Inventor Declares He Has Solved
= the Problem Of the Great {
+ 49,. ,..%.-@ 4 Lines. z.*sa. -.
New York Herald Special Service,

New York, Oct 28-One inventor has
come to town with som ething entirely
new. He is J. r. Schaffer Of Roches-
ter, known as an expert on hydraulic
machinery. He is also an expert on in
duration, or the. hardening of. substan-
ces to make them both fire and water
proof and is well UP on extracting fluids
from solids. .-.. .. -, sfE-2~' n. !
The inventors scheme is to manufac-
ture railroad ties out Of corn stalks. He
has with him at the Victoria Hotel a
sample block or brick of his indurated
corn stalks, which is as hard as rock
and Of a grayish color. ~
There are in the United States about
ESQ, 900 miles Of single track railway on
which are 550,000,000 wooden ties. The
annual renewals of ties are about 100,-
000.0O0. The wood is giving out and Mr..
Schaffer would use pressed corn stalks
as a. substitute. , - ,.... e r.
~. Plant Is Portable. r \
Having figured out the geographical re-
lation of the roads to the corn belts, Mr..
Schaffer has decided to run his plant to
| the railroads instead Of distributing his
ties from a center. AS a threshihg ma
chine travels about the country, "set-
| ting-up'' at farms where it Is required
| 50 this inventor intends to draw his ma
chinery by locomotives to sidings along
the corn and sugar-cane belts and turn
out as many ties as would be demanded
| 1t would require train Of four or five
cars. About twenty-five hands would be
required and a tie would be turned ou1
every thirty seconds or twelve hundred
during a working day Of ten hours.
"oak ties" said Mr. schaffer, eos
ES1.35 in northern New York; the corn
stalk substitute costs one-third less, tht
later will outlast three wooden ties"
!, Why His Tie Excels. #s
"All railroads soak their wooden ties i
creosote to lengthen their life. /" con
| tinued Mr.. Schaffer. 1.-THE objection {
the creosoting is that it does not proven
! water from soaking in between the spike
and wood fiber. Again, 1t Is very exper

a deadly poison.
4 ITO the steel tie there are objections
the noise and the lack Of elasticity whic
prevents the tie from springing back int
place after the ends have dropped int
the road bed.
'"The Wabash experimental with ce
