LETTER TO HENRY j, BROWN,

Dear Sir; But few OF the men who sell
the hundred different paints In the MARI
ket know much about them All peyoa
agents have a State chemists certificate
telling just(what It's made Of; they know

rest; re see that they do. We buy every
paint that has any sale, and analyze II.
Our agent finds out all about II,
When we know what q paint Is made-8
OF, We know how 1t will act; we know
how far 1t goes, and how long 1t wears.
Devoe is the standard; call 1t 100 The
best of the rest ~ about rs; the worst
about IS; the rest are between. Is5
But the men, who sell them, don't
know any batter. They know what thu
maker tells them. That Is: they know
that he tells them. They Cont know
whether he tells them the truth or not
The business Is not conducted on

POWER FROM NIAGARA.
Transmission Circuit of $50 Miles Is Expected to Take It Into
 New York.

The latest auguTies on Pennsylvania coal predict its abdication of New York power in favor of Lake Erie wa ter within ten years. This must he," says Alton D. Adams, because the great cataract develops power more eheaply than any steam plant, and electric energy Is transmitted over wires at a cost below the charge of the railways for carrying coal" At this time the prospect for Niagara power in New York is much increased by the certainty that the great generatIne plants now under construction at the falls cannot find a nearer profitable market. The length of a transmission circuit between these points may fair Iy be taken ss $50 miles. This ,s greater distance than electric power has ever been transmitted for eommer- cial purposes On the other hand it is yell known that the greater the amount of power the longer the dis fanss becomes to which transmission is practicable. The Niagara-NeE York mileage Is greater hy only 50 per cent. than the line from De Sabla power house 10 Sausslito.

MONDAY, OCT 8, l905.S

{. For the first time a president of the United States has been; wholly beyond
 the borders of his country, From
 Washington to Roosevelt the custom
 has been religiously observed thai the
 president should not pass the confines of the United States, and there is no record that it was ever broken, al- though it is suspected that sometimes on his fishing trips Cleveland passed the three-mile limit Mckinley while on the Mexican border at Fl Paso started across the bridge over the Rio Grande, but stopped half way so as not to pass on Mexican soil Roose- welt went to sea and for several days we were without a president. Tech nically he was on American territory, for where our flag floats legitimately over land or sea there is American ground. Consequently it would be difficult to say he was, incapacitated merely because he had gone to sea for a few days, which he can very properly do on an American war vessel as con- mander-in-chief of the army and navy.

DENTISTRY OF ANCIENTS.
Specimens of the Early Art Have .--,. Been Found in Tombs of .-~. Various Races.

Hippocrates, about four centuries before Christ, wrote of the care of the teeth, and a tomb of Tanagra, of about the same period has yielded a set of false teeth. Following up ancient dentistry further, Ernesto Mancini, an Italian srchaeologist, finds that the art had reached high development at an earlier time in Assyria, Egypt, Phoenicia, and among the Etruscans. Perfectly adhering gold filings from mummy teeth of Thebes have been re- ported by Benzoni though denied by other authorities. In European mu- seums are preserved Phoenician teeth bound together with gold wire. Etrus- can gold teeth and bridge work" 5000 years old from Cervetri. A museum of Rome has plate fitting over three round teeth and having a place for false tooth. A Florence musrem claims the oldest dental work in Italy "a skull with incisors bound with gold band. and dating probably from the fifth century B. C. Dentistry de- clined in Europe after the early part of the Christian era. The Arabs kept up the Greek art, however, and late in the sixteenth century the protection of teeth became common in Europe. Pare. physician of Charles K. was the first to transplant living teeth. He filled ordinary teeth with rnrk and lead, but used gold for royalty.

We have been having little, good
 old fashioned democratic doctrine from Senator Morgan, of Alabama, within the past few days on the ques- ton of the rights of the states, in con- nection with this railroad rate legisla- ton that Roosevelt is bound to have if he can in any way force congress to give it to him. Not satisfied with the czar-like power that as chief exec tive of the nation he now holds over corporations, he is bending his ener- giest to extend that power so as to ab- solutely control the railroad corpora- tions of this country Control them for political purposes. too, and for nothing else. says Washington writ CT. The days of Jeffersonian simplic- ity have given away to those of pa ternalism and centralization, and neither of these are consistent with the democratic doctrine of Jefferson and the earlier leaders of the demo- cratic party. We have always been against that sort of thing, and hold that the government should be as close to the people as possible instead of being centraSAcd in a number of bureaus under autocratic control in Washington. There is hardly bureau sl the United States government to- day that is free of scandals of greater or less degree, and if another bureau, having the power of life or death over communities. should be established with all it's political possibilities, the death knell of popular government would be rung. This railroad rate fix ing proposition is merely the entering wedge Roosevelt now wants control of the great life insurance companies, and the Lord knows they need control somewhere, but from the fact that they were big contributors to Mir ROosevelt's campaign fund, it is read fly to be seen that the control would also be used for political purposes.

 , Situation Alarming, Says Eddy. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-The con, dition of affairs in Russia formed the basis of q dispatch received at the stategdepartInent from Spencer Eddy, the American charge at St. Petersburg, who said the situation was very alarm ing. The dispatch was the subject of a long conference between Secretary Root and MT. Bacon, the first assist. ant secretary. Mir. Eddy asked the de. pertinent for instructions to meet any eventualities which might arise out of the condition of affairs as they now exist in St. Petersburg, and these were cabled to him. One feature of these covers the question of protection to Americans residing in St. Petersburg in case of general uprising which might endanger their lives.
