New Railroad Speed Record.

New Railroad Speed Record.
A Pennsylvania mail train broke all
records on that line by the run froM
Harrisburg to Altoona, 1872 miles, in
119 minutes.
Earthquakes Affecting Oil Fields.
Since the latest big earthquake on
the western coast of South America
some remarkable effects in the oil
fields of Texas have been noticed,
which are attributed to the seismic
disturbances. New subterranean chan
nels have been opened, and the wells
100 miles from the coast are not ex-
pected to last long. Also, the quality
of the oil has changed in some places,
a very light oil having replaced the
crude.
Effect of Industrial Combination.
A new census bulletin shows that
number OF manufacturing establish
ments in this country increased only 4
per cent from 1900 to 1904, while the
capital increased Al per cent. An in
teresting comparison is made between
the iron industry in this country and
England. Although England has 362
furnaces at work and the United
States 1913, still almost half as much
more product is credited to the Amer
lean industry. Another economic eff
feet is said to be the steadying of
prices.
Apples Rotting on Trees.
Throughout the big apple producing
sections Of Illinois the long continued
damp and hot weather has produced
roic efforts are being made to stamp
it out by picking the rotten fruit.
Cross Continent Auto Record.
The recent automobile trip made by
L. L. Whitman from San Francisco to
New York over 1920 mile route was
completed in Is days II hours and 2
minutes at an expense to the company
of $4,000. During the journey relays
of men kept pace with the car by rail,
but they were not needed. Also a com
plete outfit for repair was sent along
by rail from point to point, including
complete running gear and dupli-
Gates of every part. But no part OF
that gear was required, as it was out
of reach when the smashup occurred
at Conneaut, on the Ohio border. The
gasoline used averaged a gallon to
fifteen miles. Whitman received $500
for his services.

Out on the big prairie ranches Of
western Kansas and Nebraska farmers
are now in such haste to get their fail
blowing finished that they are running
big steam plows at night with head
lights on the motor engines; thus they
are able to turn over sixty acres OF
land in twenty-four hours with only
two men working in shifts. Two men
working in the old way could only ploW
about six acres day. Within the past
year $50 steam plows have been sold.

A Defender of Horse Meat.
Professor w. H. Browerof the Sheffield
Scientific school, addressing the nation
al convention of veterinary surgeons,
said he wanted to see, the time come
when horse meat will be freely eaten
and that there was less chance of dis
ease in its use.
New Volcanic Island Visited.
Officers Of the revenue cutter service
were able to explore on July 20 the
new volcanic island in the Bogoslof
group of the Boring sea, although it

the volcano which threw 1t up ten DAYS
prior to that. A great column Of smoke

A Study of the Negro Brain.
DR.. Robert B. Bean in an elaborate
article for the September Century saws
that the brain Of the black races is
deficient in both white and gray mat
ter and less developed in the frontal
region, where reside the powers of
Judgment and self control. His con-
clusion is based upon the examination
Of the brains Of various classes of
negroes.

On the other hand, General Guerra,
the rebel commander in Pinar del Rio,
rejected the proffered amnesty with
scorn, but said that he would be will
ing to arbitrate the Issues with proper
~ accredited representatives appointed
by President Roosevelt on the basis of
new presidential election In Cuba.
Guerra was not only maintaining his
positions at San Louis and San Juan de
Martinez, but appeared to be gaining
adherents rapidly. A number of small
engagements were reported, but owing
TO the censorship exercised by the gov
eminent at Havana nothing Of a reli-
able nature reached the press. There
were also clashes between guards and
rebel bands in Santa Clara province.
and reports from many other sections
show public sentiment inclining toward
the revolutionists. Business enterprises
are almost at a standstill, and if the
disturbance should continue it is prob
able that the commercial interests
would seek American intervention.
An Esperanto Congress.
The kirst international congress in
favor Of the universal language known
as Esperanto was held at Geneva,
Switzerland. DR. Zenenhof of War
saw, who projected this language by
means Of a pamphlet in 1887, was
present and received an ovation. A

Oil Trust NumerousIy Indicted.

Oil Trust Numerousy Indicted
The two federal grand juries which
had been investigating charges against
the Standard Oil company at Chicago
returned ten indictments, including
GAPS counts, alleging violation of the
Elkins law. Should the trust be found
guilty on all of these counts, the total
sum Of which might be imposed as
fines would amount to $125,56O, 600
The district attorney said that each
Of the counts covered a separate of
Tense, beinc based upon tank car
shipment from the Whiting refneries
He said also that the Burlington and
Alton had carried oil for the Standard

rates at Is cents 100 to East st. Louis.
Smaller concessions were made on
points south and the Lake Shore can
celed storage charges. But no rail
roads were indicted.
The federal grand jury at James
town, n. V completed it's investiga-

Wanamaker has adopted the new
wise L. s. Plaut & Co. of Newark and
the editors of number Of newspapers.
Professor Brander Matthews calls at
tention to the fact that the board does
not attempt such radical changes as
newspaper articles would imply, as
they have gone no further than the 300
words listed; also to the fact that Ed
itors Smith Of the Century Dictionary
and Funk of the Standard and the ed
itor Of Webster's are all members Of
the simplified spelling board.
The College Bred Farmer.
Professor L. II. Bailey, director Of
the Cornell University College of Agri-
culture, in the third of his series Of
articles for the Century gives a result
Of his inquiry among his students as to
what practical use they expect to put
their education. OF the ITO replies re-
ceived seventy-eight were those Of
students reared on the farm. OF these
sixty eight desired to go into practical
farming and eight into teaching or eE-
detrimental work. OF the sixty-nine
students reared in town or city forty
four wish to go into practical farming,
fourteen into teaching, eight into land
scape gardening and the rest unde-
cided. Of the fourteen women stu
dents two want to become practical
farmers and twelve teachers Of nature
study and agriculture. Of the eighteen
foreign students fifteen wish to return
to the farm and three to enter expert
mental work. Professor Bailey says
that the agricultural college is now
teaching from the farm rather than
from the academic point Of view.

The Cars Personal Appeal.
In the midst of this reign of terror and
assassination Car Nicholas addressed
all officials Of the empire asking them
to stand by the government at this
crucial moment and to remain at their
posts even at the. risk Of their lives,
showing no sympathy with those who
have forfeited all claims to his impe-
rial clemency. Otherwise there was no
indication that the government had al
tered it's policy in consequence of the

When thirty Kishineff children, who

New Army Identification Plan.
Hereafter every man in the military
service Of the United States will have
his thumb print taken and filed with
the records of his enlistment, so that
there may be no mistake in his identi-
fcation whether dead or alive. The
impression of different fingers will
also be taken, so that the loss of a
thumb would not shut off means Of
Identification. This system has been
adopted on recommendation of board
appointed by Acting Secretary Aims
worth. The board found that the
chances of finger prints Of two persons
being alike was one in 64,OOOO00O
The system will also be employed for
the detection Of deserters and to pre-
vent fraudulent Endorsements.
