Cruelty to Animals.

Colonel Martin, resident near the city
81 Galway, on the southern border Of
Connemara, Ireland, was probably the
first to start the worthy humanitarian
crusade against cruelty to animals. The
surprised British house of lords shout
ed insult and derision at Lord Erskine
when in 1911 he ventured to gently
plead the cause Of dumb brutes. The
British house of commons would have
treated Martin in the same manner
when he introduced his bill for the pre-
yention Of cruelty to animals but for
wholesome regard for his dueling repu-
cation.
''Dick Martins act,' as the humani-
tartan statute was known, was passed
in 1892, "a memorable date in the his
tory Of humane legislation" On June
"a, 1924, Colonel Martin and a few
other benevolent individuals met in
London and formed the first society for
the prevention Of cruelty to animals
Forty years later the movement spread
to America. In 1866 Henry Rergh
formed the New York society.

patience than which, In its own way,
few finer achievements have been re-
corded, trained lips and tongue to do
the work Of the hand, and to do it we'll,
for she could not only sew, but could
do it with neatness and speed, even ar

Words In Use.

Ordinary we'll educated people use
from 5000 to 1000 words in converse
ton. Accurate thinkers and reasoners
who avoid vague and general express
sions and wait till they find a word
that exactly fits their meaning, EN-
ploy of course larger stock; eloquent
speakers may even rise to command
Of 10000. Shakespeare, who had a
greater wealth of expression than any
other writer, produced all his plays
with about $4,000 words Millions
works are built up with 5000 and the
Old Testament contains 5,642
Our language therefore is not after
all, SO formidable as it seems when we
hear Of dictionary of 100000 words
Skeats' chronological Dictionary, which
is limited to primary words THAT is to
say, it would explain luck, but not
lucky or unlucky or luckless), deals
with no more than 1900 and among
them, are some really antiquated ones
which were used some centuries ago,
but are now to be found in the diction-
airy only.-Blackwo

The Wall Street Journal sounds the
note of warning when it says we are in
danger Of forgetting: l. The proper use
of our prosperity. Even short time
ago we became painfully aware that we
were living too fast; that we were feast
ing upon luxuries, that we were dissipat-
ing our strength, with the recklessness
of spendthrift and drunkard. But it
appears that our resources are mex
haustible. The earth has bequeathed
US another fortune. Shall we forget all
about our recent experiences? 2. Alum
dance of wealth breeds overspeculation
and reckless gambling with the whole
train of attendant evils. Shall we for
get the lesson of 1901? 3. Speculative
initiation leads to overstraining of credit.
The last time prices reached their pres
ent height, the money market was
strained almost to the breaking point.
Shall we forget the experiences of 1902?
4. We have had a period of social I'M
rest" That is what we called it. In
reality it was period of moral awaken
ing. The revelations of graft N busl-
ness have shaken confidence in our f.
nancial leaders. There has been loud
cry for government regulation of the cor
porations, and for higher standard OF
trusteeship. But if we are making mon
ey, what matters it if there be violation
of law? Shall we now forget the lessons
of 1904 and 1905?

THE Alton railway is trying new
wireless signal system on its locomotives.
Under the new system each engine, car
rying its own wireless signal apparatus,
constitutes the center of a movable block
travelling with the train. Near the en-
gineer in the cab is the indicator, which
keeps him informed of the conditions
within the block of which he is the cen
ter. If train approaches within two
miles of the rear green light shows on
the indicator and warning bell calls
the attention of the engineer. II the
train is at the front, a red light flashes
and bell rings. The signals are recip-
rocal and the engineers on both trains
receive them.at the same instant

IT IS now announced that the new
storage battery on which Thoma as A. Ed
ison, the wizard of the electrical field,
has been working for many years, has
been completed. Full particulars are
not yet available, but it is confidentally
hoped this achievement may prove Of
very great economic Importance. The
battery now perfected will drive two
ton truck at the rate of 33 miles an hour,
with half the weight of the old method.
1t is claimed b. the inventor that he can
operate delivery wagon with it's power
at So per cent of the cost of maintaining
a horse. When applied to an ordinary
automobile, it will run 100 miles under
ordinary conditions without recharging.
Just what effect this invention will have
upon agricultural machinery remains to
be seen, but we would not be surprised
20 see electric vehicles in many farm
stables in the near future.

MARSHALL P. WILDER, the story teller,
says that he had dream the other

with Mr. Rockefeller, selling potted
plants. The business did not thrive, and
after it became apparent that the ven
ture would not prosper, Mr.. Rockefeller
suggested a dissolution Of partnership
and division OF the assets, Wilder TAX

The postoffice department has made a
new ruling on mail matter addressed to
patrons on rura! routes, which will be Of
great benefit in this country when the
reorganization of the system goes into
effect this fall. Under the new ruling
postmasters are allowed to forward pa
pers, as we'll as first class matter, from
one Office to another, where the person
addressed is on rural route. In the
many changes from one spostoffice to
another that will result when the new
routes are established, it will require
several months for the patrons TO have
their mail properly addressed, and while
there will necessarily be delays, mail Of
every character will finally reach the
party to whom it was addressed. -
