HORSEPOWER.

The Unit as It Was Originated and
 Defined by Watt. .s
 When steam engines were employeG to drive mills, pumps and other ma chinery which had been previously driven by horses, it was natural to es, tempt to express the work done by them in terms of the working power of the horse. 1-s sE. <t<ht5ft h
 James Watt was the first to define the unit of horsepower, which by ex- pertinent he found to be 33,OOO foot pounds a minute. In other words, a one horsepower engine would raise 33,O00 pounds one foot every minute, and so on proportionally to the number of A''horsepowers" indicated by the en- zine. e4 r a." E..
 He arrived at this conclusion by ob- serving the work done by heavy dray horses in breweries working eight hours daily and found that horse go- ing at the rate of two miles and half an hour could raise a weight of 150 pounds by rope led over a pulley, which is equal to 33.O0O pounds raised one foot in one minute.
 Watt, for the credit of his engines, selected horses of more than average mower I. sE

A curious custom obtains among the Coorgs. When one of them kills a tiger or panther, he is married to the dead animal, regardless of its sex. Propped upon a framework of wood or bamboo, the animal is carried in procession, and the marriage ritual is strictly observed, while lavish hos pitality is dispensed.-Calcutta States man. ..

a BRUTAL EXHIBITION.
CoIumbi College Students Engage In
Fierce Encounter.

Kingdom Gould, son of George
Gould, enrolled as a student in Column
bia University, New York City, has
avoided the freshman's experience OF
hazing. The sophomores attempted to
kidnap him and take him to their ban
quet, which the victim is not permit

served him, and later he was to be
subjected to rough treatment Young
Gould was pursued by sophomores
and ran to one of the chapter houses
of the university. Overtaken by his
pursuers he whipped out a revolver
and threatened to shoot if hands were
laid upon him. Then backing his way
into the house with the appraised re-
volver in hand he discharged it over
the heads of his would-be captors. He
gained the inside, barred entrance to
the same summoned police protection
and with his father was taken home in

Enraged at the failure to secure
Gould the sophomores and the fresh

BURIED ALIVE AND MAY DIE.
Victim of Fake Hypnotism Drunk in
His Grave.

His Grave.
A man going by the name Of Beno
allowed himself to be buried alive by
man named Mars, an aeronaut, at
Elko, New, few days ago, and after
living for two days in his tomb he
was taken from the place in an uncon-
scious condition and will probably die
from the effects of his experience.
A small tube reached from the top
of his coffin to the top of the grave
and the populace of Elko were charged
10 cents to look upon the man buried
alive. Mars was supposed to be I'M
der a hypnotic spell and carried his
part out well until afternoon, when
he was seen to be struggling in his
casket and gasping for breath. 1t ap-
pears that he had been supplied with
whisky through a tube by which he
mad been fed and had become drunk.
He rolled against the tube and all air
was shut out from the grave
A farmer looking through the tube
saw Beno struggling for air, and with
number of companions Immediately
dug him out of the tomb, but not be-
lore he was nearly dead.

HILL ROADS MADE MONEY.
G. NJ, N. P. and Burlington Are BIG
Profit Farmers.

~ W. i've anu odiitil9hCI fNTC Div
Profit Farmers.
The fiscal year of 1904-5, just con-
cluded, was the greatest in the annals
Of the Hill system of railroad lines.
Profits for the Great Northern are es-
timated at 1S per cent on it's stock,
Northern Pacific profits at 10 per cent
and Burlington earnings are placed at
approximately 100000 for it's joint
owners. The latter fact is given spe-
cial stress, as indicating the remark
able development of business since the
road was purchased by Mr.. Hill four
years. ago. Striking results have been
attained by placing the Burlington I'M
der the direction of exceptional oper-
ating talent.
The Hill system of roads has in
round figures 10000 miles of main
track. On this main track there are
outstanding little more than $780,
100000 of bonds, making $4,000 per
mile of bonded debt and a little less
than $400,OO0,000 of stock, being a lit
tie less than $4,000 per mile of stock.
This excludes the Burlington joint As,
but includes the Burlington stock. The
whole is selling at market value of
about $4,000 per mile. This valuation
includes iron ore lands held by the
Lake Superior company in trust for
Great Northern. The fixed charges of
the system average about $3.50 per
mile, while the net earnings are about
$1,000 per mile, or substantially three
times the fixed charges.

hands an accounting from the COM

be company to cease taking rebates
rom the railroad companies and also
;ompel the company to return to the
ailroads money said by Swift to have
oeen illegally exacted from the rail-
:oads in the past.
Swift declares that up to September
30, 1902, the Mccormick branch Of the
harvester company alone forced the
railroads to pay it, through rebates and
the operation of the illinois Northern
road, sum in excess of $4,000, 600.
Up to the same date the money paid
IN rebates to the Plano branch of the
harvester company through the agency
of the Chicago, West Pullman & South
ern railroad amounted to $500, 900.
Since September 80, 1909, it is de-
clared that nine other railway COM
panies have been making payments of
rebates to the International Harvester
company, declaring that shortly after
its form ationna arrangement was made
between President Cyrus H. Nc Cor

kins and William q. Lane to the effect
that all of the stock of the company
