Good and Bnd Road. and What the
Latter Cost is.


Latter Cost Is.
AT a good roads convention a speak
er said that to have good roads Is to
build them; that talking will not do II;
That If, for instance, in one county i'm
proVrmcntS should be made say along
pike ten or twelve miles in length,
the land would become more valuable,
ana farmers would realize more out of
their crops. There would be II further
incentive. and hundreds of other i'm
provements would be made in the
county
The question of beginning. he said,
had been often discussed, and he be
nevcd that In answer to where Is the
money that the states and counties
should furnish 1t, that the farmers in
the counties would he proportlonately

thought that the improvements would
have to be done by the individual town
ships, counties and states, and for his
, part he would be glad If the national
government would aid 1t could we'll
afford to. 1t had aided and IS today
aiding our railways and rivers. II Is
deepening our harbOrS. md that Is
only aiding transportation.
No better issues of bonds could be
made by counties, states and the ma
ton, he thought, than for the improve
mcnt of roads, and it would be II great
commercial advantage That good
roads have their advantages by afford
ing better school facilities and by i'm
proving social conditions by making
country life more pleasant by keeping
the young people in the country as
they would improve the soil. increase
production and add to the worth of
the country, and that would be "A com
merCial advantage
NO country but America" conclud-
ed the speaker could stand such n
waste as our bad roads cost. In Eu-
rope the people have to be economical
They have to save their strength and
their means, while here our rich soil
is so prolific that our country could af-
ford to waste the $500, 900, 900 or more,
but that the time is coming when we
cannot afford to waste 1t any longer
and 1t Is now high time that we begin

Benefactor Rewarded.

Charles Madden, one of the early
residents of the city and who for sew
eral years has lived at the Dewey ho-
tel, Minneapolis is dead. When his
will was read, John Nelson, who took
care of the old man in his last days,
was found to inherit S23, OOOin cash.
Madden was usually thought of as a
pauper and when his health began to
fail him, Nelson, proprietor of the ho-
tel, gave him room and waited on
him personally.
A few days ago the old man called
for a lawyer and made his will, leav-
ing all his money to Nelson, who, he
said, had been his good friend. His
wealth at that time was not known,
but when the attorney searched the
room he found certificates of deposit
on the Farmers and Mechanics bank
for 1923, 600
The amount of money was a complete
surprize to Nelson, who had believed
Madden a penniless man.

The four small children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tiernet, living on a farm near
Duluth, barely escaped death in flames
which destroyed the family residence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tiernet left their four

smoke issuing from the roof and he

Mr.. Tiernet broke the bedroom win
dow, and, leaping in, he rescued the
baby. The interior of the house be-
yond the bedroom was a mass of
flames. To enter there was impossible,
either to seek the other three children
or try to save the contents.

wrung their hands in agony, for Moth

A STRANGE DELUSION.
Why So Few Prisoners Escape Fron

why So Few Prisoners Escape From
the Andaman Islands.
The number of convicts who have
succeeded in making their escape from
the Andamans is comparatively small,
the natural difficulties of almost I'M
penetrable Jungle with which the is
lands are densely covered and the wide
stretch Of sea separating them from
the Indian or Burman mainland pre-
senting almost insurmountable obsta-
cles to the enterprising runaway.
Among large number Of the con
victs there is a curious belief preva.
lent that the Andamans are in reality
a part of the mainland Of India, the
long sea voyage being merely ruse
on the part of the sirkar, which en-
deavors to deceive them as to the real
position Of the settlement by making
the ship that brings them go round in
a circle for several days before landing
them In the harbor of Port Blair.
Many of them accordingly are firmly
convinced that If they can only sue
coed in making their way through the
belt Of jungle that hedges them
they must eventually find themselves
back in their own country, and not
even the disastrous fate of the mis-
guided few who from time to time
make the attempt only to perish miser-
ably of starvation or by an Andama-
nese arrow is sufficient to discourage
them or to destroy their faith in this
astonishing delusion. Madras Mail.

ANIMAL PECu LlARTTIEs.
Fish and Crabs That Can Initiate
Their SURROUNDINGS.


Many insects, birds, animals and even
fish and crabs are wonderfully clever
imitafors. They will take upon them
selves the color, shape OF position Of
their surroundings so perfectly that
neither friend nor enemy can discover
their whereabouts.
There is a fish to be seen in the kelp
beds about the island of Santa Catalina
which has clever way of making it
self invisible The body is slender, with
a pointed head and prominent eyes.
Along the back is continuous frill
which is the dorsal fin, while, opposite
the anal fin is equally ornamented. The
fish vary in color. Some are amber, 9th
ers orange or vivid green, while some
have two hues combined, dark and light
green or olive and yellow. These pecu-
Harities of form and color render the
fish maryelously like the kelp leaves
among which it seeks protection.
A number of these fish were placed
in the tanks of the geological gardens,
where they might be observed. They
showed great uneasiness, some of them
even leaping from the tank Another
tank was prepared, where the natural
surroundings of the fish We're Initiated
| as nearly as possible. A branch of ma
crocystiS, with leaves hanging in the
water, was suspended over the tank.
The most uneasy of the fish We're placed
| in the new home, and their change of
feeling was soon evident. One swan at
] once to the kelp leaves and poised it
4 self, head downward. Another, with
head poised upward, became remark
able imitation of the hanging leaves in
shape and color. The fish made no
/ further effort to escape
/ Another inhabitant of the kelp beds is
/ an olive green crab, which clings to the
under side of the kelp tangles. This
crab also showed great uneasiness
4 when it was placed in tank When
1 the kelp was introduced it crawled up
/ on it and was at once almost invisible,
so much did it resemble the kelp leaves.
~Another crab makes itself look exactly
i like a rough stone. When it is alarmed
4 it draws up its legs and appears bit

i Several deep sea spiders which had
J. been found att depth Of 800 feet were
kept in a tank for several weeks When
taken from the dredging net they were
dark brown, though presumably the
spot where they came from was so dark
4 that they could scarcely have been seen
Yet even this type Of apparently slug
gish life had sufficient intelligence tic
realize that in the light of the tank il
4 was a conspicuous object. SO it began
to add seaWeed to it's back. The sea
weed was pIucked, then passed to the
mouth. and finally attached not to the
I, back, but to the point of the shell above
s. the mouth so that it fell over the bach
like gorgeous plume, making the cral
very conspicuous. But when it was

All About Butter.

-
The biennial report Of the state dairy
and food commission soon to be pre-
sented to the legislature, will show that
Minnesota is today making %, 0O0, 900
pounds more butter annually than it
did four years ago when Gov. S. r.
Van SAINT, then dairy governor, first
came into office.
In four years the number of cream
cries has increased from $50 to Isl. and
the product of butter for this year will
equal - 900, 900 pounds. At the same
time the quality has increased to q
point where Minnesota has won first
place in competition with the world
for both dairy and creamery butter.
Since January, 1, 1908, cheese factories
three to ninety, and skim stations
from ffty-two to sixty-six. This IS a
gain for the year of Ill new cream
cries, seventeen cheese factories, and
fourteen skim stations. The point has
now been reached where Minnesota
probably produces more butter than
any other state in the union. And
with the fact long established that it
produces more flour, Minnesota now
has unquestionable right to the title
| Gov. Van SAINT has given itof aThe
Bread and Butter State. y
To supply the Ill new creameries
with milk means an increase of 10000

has increased from so, 1899 to So, 900;
