Lewis & Clark Exposition.

1t is noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark exposition is the first
worlds fair TO be held west of the
Rocky mountains which has secured
the aid of the government.
And it is also surprising what an in-
terest is manifested in the exposition
by the people of the east. They see
in the exposition an opportunity to visit
the Western country at u greatly re-
auced expenditure of money. and not
only the exposition itself, but view
the wonders of the Western scenery,
and witness the great resources of the
Northwest and the opportunities af-
forded. The Great Northern railway
passenger department. has been flooded
with INQUIRIES, as to the, exposition,
and it augurs we'll for a big travel
Through the Northwest this year.

FOREST FIRES.
Fires North of Duluth are Doing
Much Damage. Several
Camps Destroyed.

Duluth, Mimi, May e6 Reports Of
damage from forest fires are coming in
from the north. Forty Thousand ties
banked beside the Duluth Il Iron
Range tracks mile post 4e are reported
to be burned.
The woods fires threatened the Lake
wood pumping station, which supplies
Duluth with water, and situated nine
miles from the city hall, the city fire
department was called for assistance,
and sent some equipment. Fires are
running in slashings between Duluth
and Cass Lake.
At an early hour yesterday morning
the city fire department. was still
working on the fire near the Lake
wood pumping station. Two thou
sand feet of hose were in use.

MAN AS MOTIVE POWER.
Experiments Show That He Is .
Much Better Engine Than
Locomotive.

ITO test the efficiency Of man as an
engine" says the Boston Herald, prof
Atwater of Wesleyan university has
been engaged recently in making some
remarkable experiments. employing a
stationary bicycle as means OF 1Qezs-
uring the power developed by mlsc;1-
lar rider.
by the simple expedient of making
the tire of the rear wheel (the cycle has
no front wheeD pass between two cleo
trO-magnets, which are connected with
dynamo, all Of the energy transmitted
to the pedals is converted into a current
of electricity. This current can be meas
ured, and thus it is ascertained exactly
how much power is employed.
The rider operates his wheel inside
of a great box of wood lined with metal;
He is not permitted to leave the box for
several days and nights. and all Of his
food and drink Is carefully weighed. n
this way the amounts of fuel and water
supplied to the human engine are accu-
rately ascertained, and the total energ.
which they represent can be easily figured
out.
LAS result of the experiments, it has
been found that man is much better
engine than locomotive. yielding near
ly twice as much power for q given
amount of fuel. He is superior in this
respect to the best and most economical
pattern of automobile. In fact, no kind
OF engine as yet cOntrived-steam, gaso-
linz al Sc
Queer of energy {.
Prof. Atwater says that the mos:
economical engine built to-day utiIizes.
in the shape of work. only Is per cent of
the energy contained in the fuel supplied
to it. The human power machine deve!-
ops 20 per cent. without counting what
is required to keep the internal mechan-
ism OF the body running. OF course, it
takes considerable power to keep the
heart-pump going. and the digestive ap-
paratus in operation. To reckon the ex-
penditure for these and other functions
at an additional 20 per cent. would not
be over the mark. .-
Thus it is seen that the human engine
runs with much less waste than any me-
chanical continuance yet devised. Man
stands to-day the model machine, and
with all his Wanted ingenuity, he can
not construct an apparatus that comes
near to equallins his own body as a
work-producer. Nor, indeed, will any
other kind of engine. though built of the
best obtainable material, run for any
thing like SO long period without wear
ing out, requiring in the same time Sc
small an expenditure for repairs"

After Brokers.

St. Paul, May 26.-St. Paul railway
officials have started to go after the
st. Paul ticket brokers. Cases against
them were considered by the Ramsey
county grand jury. They are similar
to the ones brought before the Henne-
pin county grand jury, in which sew
eral indictments were secured. The
scalpers arc charged with violating
chapter 66 of the laws of 1892, which
forbids the dealing in tickets by brolz-
ers without they first get the company's
consent in whose tickets they are to
DEAL i
The evidence upon which the rail-
way officials hope to prosecute the
scalpers has been; collected by the

Z st. Paul. State Treasurer julius H.
Block has under consideration a rec
ommendation to the board of invest
ment of the sale of all or part Of the
states holdings of the Virginia bonds:
Mr.. Block is investigating the proba-
bic price that these bonds would bring
in case they were offered for sale.
y The state holds j&2, l45,OO OF these
bonds, and all except $4,000 of them
mature in 1901, with an option on the
part of the state Of Virginia to redeem
them ut par after 1906. Mr.: Block is
now corresponding with the authori-
ties OF Virginiv, to ascertain what pro-
portion of5thcm, if any, they expect to
redeem. These bonds bear interest at
tho rate Of ) per cent, payable SEMI
annually.
There is a great demand for loans
from the State-frOm our own school
districts, municipalities and counties
for the purpose OF building school
houses. court houses, constructing
drainage bitches, etc. and it is at pres

This is'particularly true Of the north

developing. These loans pay the state
4 per cent interest, Or 3s}s per cent
more than the Virginia bonds bring.
Mr.. Blocks objectin this disposition
Of the bonds is thus not only to aid the

A Chinese Opinion.

Professor j. W, jerks, of Cornell
University, who lately returned from
the Orient, says that Chinese litterati
have a fine scorn for the practical
learning Of America. This is the opin-
ion a highly educated Chinese official
held Of our educational standards:
"The schoolhouse and college in
America, where the rising generation
ought to be taught and trained in
human conduct and manners, have now
become mere Smithsonian workshops,
where the pupils are taught to make
money, or, as it is called, how to get
on, by learning the coarse jugglery of
the hand called modern mechanical
arts or the fine jugglery of the head,
called law and theology In many
American universities dentistry and
chiropody, or the science of toenajl
peeling, are put on the same level with
Plato and Virgil"

could reclte the whole of Virgil Woru
for word.
Bossuet could repeat not only the
whole Bible, but all Of Homer, Nirgl
and Horace, besides many other works.
but a still more astonishing example
than any of these is that Of Carneades,
who. when required, could repeat any
volume found in his library, as readily
as II he were reading.
Mr.. Henlile, through the medium OF
the Journal Of Speculative Philosophy,
brought to light an example of memory
that is unsurpassed in ancient or mod
ern times. This gifted individual was
one Daniel Mccartney, an humble Ia
borer, in Salem, Columbiana County,
Ohio. He was quite illiterate, and
nearly blind, but he remembered the
occurrences Of every day since January
/, 1927, when he was nine years old.
Mention any date to him in the pre-
vious forty-four years, and he instantly
told what day of the week 1t was, what
manner Of weather prevailed, what he
was individually doing and conversed
about, Mr.. Henkle, paying a personal
visit TO Mccartney, provided himself
with a journal for forty-tive years, and
after several severe cross-examina"
tions, proved Mr.. Mccartney to be in
variably correct
We will conclude our chapter by
quoting a very remarkable instance OF
loss of memory. In 1870 resident of
Elmira, n. Y, accidentally struck bis
head against beam, and was rendered
insensible thereby. From the effects
of the blow, however, he very readily
recovered, and three years passed him
in the enjoyment Of apparently per-
feet health.
At the expiration of this time he was
taken with acute pains in the head
accompanied by violent spasms. He
was promptly attended by his physi-
clans and again recovered bodily
health; but his memory, so far as con-
cerned all events which had taken
place since the date OF his accident
three years before, was q blank
He greeted his partner in business as
the schoolmaster he had known him
TO be before the beam and his own
head came in contact. He had no un-
derstanding or comprehension Of the
state Of his business, and persisted in
treating acqualntances formed in the
three years past as though absolute
strangers, What is still more eXuaor.
dinary, he was decidedly puzzled, much
to the embarrassment Of his wife. to
account for the existence Of his two
children born in the fatal three years
interval.

pEADHEAD TIMBER,
Recovered Millions Of Feet Of Il from
River Bottoms.

The Menominee River, which 70,
half a century has been one Of tbe
most noted logging streams in an
Michigan, is being forced to give up
some of the wealth that has been con.
cealed beneath its waters. Dead.
head" timber representing much
money, says a Norway (Mich.) dis
patch, has been taken from the river
so far this season. Crews Of men
have been operating through the)N
between the first and second da \
near the mouth of the stream sin,
the beginning Of the winter, haulin
out sunken logs and piling them III
along the bank to dry. The men have
already recovered fully 100000 feet
Of timber in this manner, and before
the breakup in the spring the
amount will be heavily added to.
How many million feet OF logs lie
on the bottom of the stream II Is
impossible to estimate; yet for the
past fifty years timber has been float
ing down the Menominee and always
a certain percentage of It has become
watersoaked and sunk, until there Is
practically no limit to the amount
that will steadily be raised from nov
| on.
The "deadheads" are well preserr
cd and are really worth more now
than when they disappeared beneath
the waters, a poor quality Of lumber
today commanding a better price
than did the best product years ago
At the height Of its record as a drIv
ing stream, more than 7OOOOOOOO
feet Of logs were fioated down the Ne
nominee in a single season, and the
amount has ranged down to probably
$4,000 900. 1t is roughly estimated
that enough sunken timber can By
recovered to keep a saw mill ID
operation continually for years "
come.
