DEVICES FOR SAFETY.
Exposition VIII Be Held to Exhibit
Life Savers.


The American Institute of Social
Service will hold next January in
New York city an exposition of de-
vices for safeguarding the lives and
limbs of working men and women and
for preventing accidents under the or
binary conditions of life and labor. to
which the general public is exposed.
This will be the first exposition of
the kind in this country, says the Chi
cago Evening Post. As far back as
1889 there was a German exposition
for the prevention of accidents. In
1893 an exposition of this nature was
held In Amsterdam, and since then
there have been several similar ones
in continental Europe and Canada
AS an Outgrowth of these national
movements there have been organized
several museums of security, one at
Vienna in 1890, one at Amsterdam in
1893, one at Munich in 1900, one at
Berlin in 1901 and one at Paris in
1905, and Russia recently established
a museum on large scale at Moscow.
That these expositions and museums
have been of real value to their re-
spective countries is evidenced by a
comparative study of the number of
accidents in Europe and in America,
which shows that for the same num-
Der of men employed in a given trade
America has from two to nine times
as many accidents as European coun-
tries

ONE GERM BEET SEED.
Scientists Solve Problem of Ec0noE,-
Zeal Beet Culture.

Scientists Solve Problem of EconoE.-
Zeal Beet Culture.
Professor w. ". Tracy of the de-
partment of agriculture has just re-
turned from the far west, where he
has been looking after the experiments
with beet seeds on which the depart
ment has been working for years.
AS result of these operations it was
announced by Charles + Saylor, spe-
cial agent of this work. that one
germ seed has been developed which
will solve the problem, says a Wash
ington dispatch to the Omaha World
Herald. This is one of the most re-
markab}e processes in plant develop
ment the department scientists have
ever undertaken.
a beet seed is, in fact. not seed, but
a cluster of seeds in small husk.
Planted, each germ inside the husk
starts little plant. The small cluster
thus crowds each other, and it is NEG
essary to pull by hand all but one in
order that it may have room to develop
a beet fit for sugar Abroad, where la
Dor is cheap, this is done by hand; in
this country no one will do such work.
dTIlleTS Whit W CuIJitdte tuSlT ldFI1S
from a spring seated cultivator drawn
by four horses. So the beet sugar in
dustry has grown slowly because there
was nobody TO pull the superfiuous
beets. Secretary Wilson set his scien-
fists to work to develop a beet seed
with only a single germ in it. This,
Professor Tracy says, they have done.
Last years seeds contained 80 1-3
per cent of one germ seed. The expert
ments began four years ago. In three
years more of evolution, says the sci
enlist. they will have a seed with uni
formly a single germ. Then it can be
planted by machinery at proper inter-
vals No pulling of extra plants will
be necessary, cultivating and digging
can be done by hand, and the Ameri-
can beets Will easily supply all the
country's sugar.

The town election last Tuesday
passed off without tremor and
everyone was elected even though
less than fifty votes were cast. The
ticket was composed of good rep
resentative men who are sure to
give us an able and progressive adj
ministration. The only sensation
of the day was the discovery made
that morning that the ballot box
had been robbed of the ballots cast
at the preceding town election as
well as all the records of the cleo
ton. Nearly everyone in town has
an opinion to offer as to the guilty
parties but all seem unable to pro-
duce any evidence that would be
sufficient to send the crooks over
the road However, it will leak
out sooner or later. All that is
necessary is little time.
