DR.. U. G, Houck. of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, was here this
week, having been sent out from
Washington by that department to
investigate the manner and methods
of DIR. Irwin, cattle Inspector, while
inspecting cattle on this division.
1t appears that report has been
made to the department by parties
who shipped some cattle from Ar
kalon last May that he was impartial
and refused to pass bunch of cat
tie that the State Sanitary Board af-
terward passed. The state board,
through their inspector, ordered the
cattle shipped, as the destination
was within the state, and they went
under Irwin's protest. We have
been informed by very reliable
authority that the above cattle were
itchy and that Irwin did the proper
thing in turning them back. These
cattle were taken out of Meade coun-
ty and shipped, also, under the pro-
test of Sheriff Givler, who has been
very strict in enforcing the depart
ment rules and regulations for dip
ping cattle. How the state sanitary
board can know more about these
cattle than Irwin and -Givler, who
saw them, is more than we can con.
tceive. If the department desires to
stamp out the itch, they better send
out more men like Irwin, and ther
stand by them and pay no attention
to these dinky state boards which
are, as rule, composed of eager,
|grasping politicians who are Away.

What we need is more MEN who

ODDITIES OF INVENTIoN.

Prof Baiardi, Of Turin, has suc-
ceeded in perfecting his invention OF
photographing the eye and advo-
Gates its practical use for diagnosis Of
diseases OF that organ.
A French engineer named Otto has
invented an apparatus for purifying
drinking water at home; its capacity is
so gallons an hour, and its cost about
the same as that of an electric incan-
descent light Ozone is generated,
which kills all germs in the water.
In some parts Of the west where
irrigation is much depended upon, q
current motor" is in use which, by
an ingenious use Of levers and iron
blades, makes the water OF flowing
streams pump itself. The pressure Of
the current causes the blade to swing
backward and forward, and the force
thus exerted is communicated to ma
chanery which runs pump.
The recent classification at the Brit
ish patent Office shows that cooking Is
the popular subject OF invention, hav-
ing been the subject Of 3,575 British
patents in IS years, or an average Of
73 a year. Umbrellas brought out
1,457 inventions, and hats 1,411. In
vention tends to run in grooves, 1896
and 1897 rejecting the enormous de.
velopment in cycles, while motor We.
hicle inventions have doubled since

NAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
The Acquisition Of Which Would
Assuredly Fit One for an
Exciting Cruise.

Having been sailing one afternoon with
q friend, you notice how simple it is to
manage boat; SO you buy one-whether
it rs a center-board or a fin keel boat you
don't know, and it doesn' t make any diff
ference SO long as you like the color, says
the Chicago Daily News
Ask half a dozen friends to act as crew.
Great care should be exercised in choosing
only men who know nothing about sail
ing, otherwise they might make sugges-
tions as to the management of the boat.
Far better is it for you to train the men
after your own ideas Of sailIng-and you
stand much better chance Of getting a
picture Of yourself and your boat into the
papers.
After sailing around the harbor few
times without damaging any Of the other
boats, you will be in position to invite
your girl friends to 60 sailing. Ii expert
enced yachtsmen tell you that your boat
will with safety carry ten, invite twenty
friends. u you bring them all back you
will establish precedent.
Never postpone sailing party because
Of an approaching storm. This would look
cowardly, and by all means establish a
reputation for daring even if you have to
risk the lives Of all your friends
Always carry full canvas-before squall
and during it. Once outside the harbor
tie your main sheet down-in hard knots
if possible. This will make the trip more
exciting.
By carefully following the above rules
you will give the newspaper reporters q
chance to write columns on Y achting as
the Most Dangerous Of Sports" and will
also help the lfe-savlng crew to earn their
salaries,
