WIRELESS" ON THE RAILWAYS,
Can BE utilized to Warn Trains Of
Impending Danger.

The American consul at Chemnitz
states In consequence of numerous &C
cidents on the railways of Germany.
the question of employing wireless
telegraphy for the purpose of keeping
trains apart is being discussed Two
years ago experiments were COM
menced, and they are said to have
been continued until recently on the
railway between Berlin and Zossen.
The experiments are unoffcially re-
ported to have shown that the diner
ent stations on the line can at any
time communicate with a train run
ming at full speed and warn it OF i'm
pending danger. The consular report
states further that it is not expected
that the expense of supplying sta
lions and passenger trains with the
necessary apparatus will be much be
yond the budget allowed each year
for the purpose of repairing old sig
nails and introducing new appliances
and inventions which haze for their
aim the protection of life and limb in

WHEN WOODS TURN BROWN.

How will it be when the roses fade
Out of the garden and out of the glade?
When the fresh pink bloom of the
sweetbriar wild,
That leans from the dell like the cheek
of a child,
Is changed for dry lips on a thorny
bush?
Then scarlet and carmine the groves
will flush.
How will it be when the autumn
flowers
wither away from their leafless
bowers;
When the sunflower and starflower
and go1denrod,
Glimmer no more from the frosted
sod,
And the hillside hooks are empty and
cold?
Then the forest tops will be gay with
gold.
How will it be, when the woods turn
brown,
Their gold and their crimson all
dropped down,
And crumbled to dust? Oh, then, as we
lay
Our ear to earth's lips we shall hear

We will dream of green leaves when

FLOOD OF GOLD is PREDICTED.
Will Yellow Metal Ultimately Become
Too Plentiful as Money?

Will Yellow Metal Ultimately Become
Too Plentiful as Money?
Will gold ultimately become too
plentiful for use as money? Some per-
sons think it will. The worlds gold
output was $254,O00, 900 in 1900, $780,
100000 in 1901, 1926, OOO, 900, in 1902,
S325 100000 in 1908, and $3.50, 100000
in 1904. 1t will be 100000, 900 in 1905.
How do we know that the 100000, 900
mark will be reached in 1905? Because
the chief gold fields of the world are
more productive thus far in 1905 than
they were in 1904. Last year the
United States led all the countries,
with an output of sSO,000,00 accord
ing to a writer in Leslie's Weekly.
This year we are breaking all the rec
ords for this country.
The world in 1905 is producing just
twice as much gold as it yielded in
1895, when the Nebraskan, in the Chi
cagO convention, started his little
financial reign of terror. The Hscram-
BILE for gold among the nations"
which he dwelt on then has ended.
Every country in the world which Of
fers the right sort of security can get
all the gold these days that it needs,
except perhaps Russia, whose credit
is hit hard by the Japanese war and
by the menace of civic cataclysm.
The Nebraskan's own country has
more gold in 1905 than it can make
profitable use of, and is lending it to
every country which asks for it, Half
a dozen countries have dropped sill
yer since 1896 and have adopted the
gold standard. Mexico did this in
April, 1905. Every great nation in
the world is on the gold basis to-day
except China. Every small country is
on the gold basis except half dozen
of the minor ones in Latin America,
Asia and Africa, which do not count
in the worlds affairs.

Paints Wild Beasts Eyes.

One of the oldest ways a young
woman artist of this city has of add
ing to her income is the painting of
the glass eyes that are fitted into the
heads of wild animals sent to a taxi
dermist to be stuffed and mounted
says the New York Press. She is not
called upon to paint these special
eyes for the ordinary run of our ma
tive beasts. She only gets one of
these orders when some sportsman
has killed a panther, a grizzly, or. a
tiger-animals noted for the savage
glare of their eyes. Then she takes
all the pains she is capable of to get
the s.glare" just as savage as she can.
Before she begins work she learns in
just what attitude the beast is to be
mounted, for it would never do to rep
resent the animal with his eyes
ablaze with the light of battle if he
was to be postured as lying half
asleep. The work does not pay we'll
Sometimes the artist gets only a dol
lar a pair for the eyes, while now and
again she gets as much as 81 a pair.

at the fair young bakeress.
What will you wish? Pies, cakes,
bread
Before he could decide three youths
appeared around the corner of the
first tent and they surrounded the
wagon. Bah knew at glance they
were city men and of her own class.
Her modish shoes and skirt, belt, sill
yer bag, ETC., were covered by the
dust robe. The white shirt waist,
pink sunbonnet and yellow braids
could clearly belong to Minna Heimer
in their estimation. and she was
quite enjoying the situation. returning
their chatting good naturally, respond
ing in fairly good German to their
queries in that language. Suddenly
another man appeared upon the
scene. Bab's heart gave a great leap
and she caught her breath sharply, as
she bent her head over the box of
bread.
So he. Rob Booth, had also fed
from the scenes of their former hap
piness, In her confusion, the dust
robe dropped as she half rose to take
out the, bread.
@Whew. Minna is up to date"
laughed one of the men, spying the
shining Oxfords.
Bah kept the sunbonnet lowered,
and resolved to disguise her voice
should it be necessary to speak in the
transaction of the business.
How much for the brod. Minna?"
asked one of them coming up close
to the wagon.
Der pig lofes list sieben cents, der
leetle lofes, four cents, der cakes ten
cents der dozen, un der pies, ten

A shout of laughter went up at her
transition from perfect English to the
broken German

winning Horse the Recipient of all
Care and Attention.
Knee-deep in the sweet straw the
race horse munches his oats, or like a
tired boy he stretches himself in his
bedding and enjoys that delightful re-
pose which comes after strenuous
play. They close the doors on him
ana keep him from prying eyes. He
is a winner now and he has paid for
the months down there on the farm.
His boy sleeps with him or near him
No moment is he forgotten or neg
lected. If he stirs in the night there
is a voice to calm him. If he leaves
a cup of oats in his box the fact is
nervously reported. The water which
he drinks is given at a proper tenn
perature, and when next he goes forth
for battle, he is the thing which a
great crowd rises to and applauds as

Achievement of Success.
The Self-made man is always per-
son of brains, resOurcefulness and
ambition, otherwise he would never
be heard of. He may lack the adj
vantages of collegiate education, but
he learns in the school of experience
and thus becomes educated in those
things that are necessary to success.
The business world is full of men to-
day-men who are known as cap
tains of industry'-who never saw
the inside of a college or high
school. OF course, it is recognized
that, all things else being equal, TIE
men with the best education will
make the most rapid strides in adj
vancement. But at the bottom there
must be natural ability. The era of
the self-made man will not be past
until the time comes when children
of the poor are born with less brain
power than children of the well-to-do.

ment Industry.
1t is now quite possible to have the
exterior of house built of stone at
a price not much greater than the
cost of clapboards or shingles. This
condition of things has come about
through the development of the ce-
ment industry in this country Given
reasonable access to a transportation
line and a sand bank, and the posi-
bility of a stone house is yours. One
part of cement, two or three parts OF
sand, and four to seven parts OF
gravel or broken stone, mixed to-
gether with enough water to make a
paste, will produce stone that is
next to granite in hardness and
strength, not affected by fire, as are
marbles and limestones, and much
less susceptible to injury by frost
than sandstone.-Country Life in
