After such a dock has been sunk and has taken in the vessel to be lifted the water is ex- pelled from the ballast chambers by means of the acetylene gas set free from the carbide.

MERrTEp RECOGNITION.

Woman is everywhere coming to her own, and she will not, cannot and ought not to stop until she gets what belongs to her. One of her latest gains is in North Carolina, where farmers in- stitutes are to be supplemented by in stitutes for farmers wives. The agri- cultural department has planned a sys- tenn by which joint meetings will be held in many different parts of the State during the coming summer and fall, and if the attendance and inter- est justify 1t, these gatherings will be- come regular feature of the depart mentt's work. It is explained that in the management of many farms, suc- ces depends as much upon the worK and skill of the women as upon that of the men. Anyway. the wives are entitled to the same consideration as the hus- bands, and this latest development of the co-educational principle is expected to prove It's merits.
 Anybody who knows what farmers wives are will promptly recognize the justice of this move. If the farmers wives in North Carolina are not too busy to attend meetings they will sur prise the farmers and others by their mental operations. Intelligent farming is looking up in North Carolina.

DAsHrNG TOR THE WORTH POLE

DASHTNG FOR THE NORTH POLE
 If the United States doesn't find and annex the North Pole it will be a pity, for she has the men and the money after 1t. The latest is that Captain Mikkelsen, an explorer from Denmark, will sail for the Arctics under the American flag this summer in ship provided for him by the American Geo. graphical Society. It will be a snug little ship that can be handled by a dozen men, and will go through Beh- ring Strait short-handed to await the arrival of the scientists at the mouth of the Mackenzie river. which they will descend in canoes and steamers, The party is not going to the pole at once, unless the phenomenal run of ice dur, ing the past winter has caused so many leads in the northern pack that access to that spot can be readily gain ed, as may possibly happen but it will first content itself with studying the Beaufort Sea west of Banks Land, with base on that island. Captain MikkeI- sen argues from the set of tides and currents in that region that there are land masses beyond the seventy-ffth parallel which have never been seen, and he wants to bound and chart them, as we'll as to determine the extent and dip of the continental shelf on which they stand. Having satisfied himself concerning these matters, he will then enter the race for the top of the world, and in 1908 will make a dash" for the pole.
 Success to Captain MikkeIsen and his gallant company. Perhaps he may not be first at the Pole for others are after it with much zeal, but if he gets there at all he will do pretty we'll

Senator Allison, of Iowa, who was seventy-seven years old last Friday, has served forty-three years in con- gress, a longer consecutive period than any other man now in that body. MT. Frye, of Maine, has been in the house and senate continuously for thirty-five years, and MT. Morgan, of Alabama, for twenty-nine years. Only one man ever served longer consecutively than Mir. Allison-Mr. Morrill,, of Vermont. who had record of forty-four years. It is said to be MT. Allison's ambition to make a new record, and it is an ambi- ton he is likely to achieve, for he is still in vigorous health, and would easily pass for man of sixty, His cheek is still ruddy and his eye bright.

By an arrangement recently eonclud ed between the British and Japanese governments, and arising out of the Anglo-Japanese treaty, a number of Japanese military officers will soon ar rive in India, and be attached to the Indian army, in order to study the whole military organization of British India, and especially the problem of the defence of the northwest frontier. They will be distributed among the various commands and will remain in the coun- try twelve months, or longer time if agreed on by the two governments. A party of officers of all arms belonging to the Anglo-Indian army will proceed at the same time to Japan to study the Japanese military system. The ar engagement is said not to be liked in the army in India.

A great work of engineering, and one of special importance as establishing the relation between drainage and sani- tation, has just been completed with public rejoicing in Italy. The enter prise really involved the draining of the entire rural portion of the provinces of Mantau and Reggie, or superficies of 46O miles, inhabited by 66,OO0 people with 6,13O separate properties. The drainage was affected by the cutting of canal, upon which six thousand men had been occupied since 1901. This great achievement was fittingly crown ed by the ceremonial opening of the lock which lets the waters of this drainage canal into the Pc.

Uncle Sam now Rules CHbanS.

An American provisional government
assumed control Of Cuba last Saturday,
when War Secretary Taft's proclama-
ton declaring himself provisional gov
ernor of the island was formally issued.
The lawless insurgents brought this
about. With the protectorate power
Uncle Sam retained in the dealing out
of self-government to Cuba this inter
vention seems proper. The duties inn
posed upon ourselves creates respon-
sibiHty of doing what is right by the
Cubans as well as by ourselves.
The elf-government experiment in
Cuba has resulted in failure, and affords
only another illustration of the fact
which so many people forget-that 1t
takes more than constitution and the
mere machinery of republic to guar
antee liberty. 1t is the training, the
education, the character of the people
that make self-government possible.
Cuba has failed to make good ano
Uncle Sam must do the best he can.

the West Platte, but is locally known
as the Platte mound. 1t is eighteen
miles from the Illinois line, and sixteen
miles from the Mississippi river below
Potosi.
1t is 200 rods long and 80 rods wide
at the south end, growing narrower TO-
ward the north. It's summit is l,445
feet above sea level. and 400 feet above
the surrounding prairie.
Three miles east is the East Platte or
Belmont mound, named Belle Mont, or
| Beautiful Mountain, by the French Voy-
ayers, the first white men to see 1t. 1t
is 100 rods long by so rods wide and 800
| feet high, and is shaped like an inverted
bowl. A large spring near the western
base sends its pure, sparkling waters
north and east to the Pecatonica river.
Standing upon Platte mound one may
scan on clear day the whole Of south
western Wisconsin. Blue mound rears
| its proud dome far to the northeast,
and Military ridge, hiding the Wiscon-
sin river and extending west to the
Mississippi, bounds the horizon on the
north. On the west and south the bluffs
of the great river in Iowa and Illinois
limit the view ike chain of distant
mountains, among which Scales Mound,
Sinsinawa and Pilot Knob are especially
noticeable. To the east the prairles
extend as far as the eye can reach, cut
by the silver threads of the Pecatonica
and it's numerous tributaries.
In whatever direction one looks the
finest farming and grazing country in
the world is seen. Among its flourish
ing cities are Mineral Point, DoJgevilie,
Monroe, Darlington, Shullsburg, Galena,
Platteville and Lancaster. These be-
sides many prosperous villages are with
in the scope of vision, yet partially OBJ
scured by the trees that embower the
residences and public buildings and
shade the public streets.
In every direction, too, smoke is ris-
ing from the tall chimneys that locate
hundreds of lead and zinc mines for
which the region is famous.

Wounds. Bruises and Burns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries
before inflammation sets in, they may
be healed without maturation and in
about one-third the time required by the
old treatment. This is the greatest dis
covery and triumph Of modern surgery.
Chamberlain Pain balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptic, and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. 1t also al
lays the pain and soreness and prevents
any danger of blood poisoning. Keep a
bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money, not to
speak of the inconvenience and suffer
ing such injuries entail. For sale by
