NATURE PROMPTS INVENTION.

we get our hints from nature" the
inventor said. Take, for instance,
the hollow pillar, which is stronger
than the solid one. The wheat straw
showed US the superior strength OF
the hollow pillar. Solid. the wheat
straw would be unable to support its
head of grain.
Where did man get his idea for
carriage springs7 From the hoofs OF
the horse. which. ike the springs, de-
rived from them, are made from par
allel plates.
Scissors we get from the jaws OF
the tortoise, which are natural scissor
chisels from the squirrel, who carries
them in his mouth; adzes from the
hippopotamus, whose worries are adzes
OF the best design; the plane from the
bees jaws; the triphammer from the
woodpecker. ."-Chicago Journal.

A s. BILL NOW WORTH s25OO.

L. c. St. John. of this city, has a
curiosity in his possession In n s5 bill
which IL 1876 years old, says the In
djanapolis Star. He has just gained
possession OF It, although 1t was LEFT
to him by his mother. who died some
- years ago. The bill was given her
when child by relative.
It was issued under the act of July
g, 1870, by the state of Rhode Island,
drawing per cent interest per an
mum, and signed by John Arnold.
Figuring compound interest. 1t is now
worth $256O.
IT is the intention of Mr.. st. John
to communicate with authorities at
Washington to ascertain II the state
Of Rhode Island will redeem the bill

TOO MANY SESu-CTIZENs.

The san Francisco Argonaut makes
"ten-strike" in commenting on the
lax naturalization laws and the enor-
nous number OF bogus citizens or
semi-cidzens found in the United
States today.
Especially is this condition alarm
ing in the large cities where foreign
ers swarm like rats. Many Of these
are totally ignorant OF the form OF
government; many OF them carry the
most vicious ideals and principles in
their breasts. only awaiting the touch
Of the match to the revolutionary tin
der in their minds, to break forth in
rebellion to the laws and organized
authorities.
Something should be done to check
the inflow. Something should be
done to elevate the tone and charac-
ter Of citizenship. The responsible
ties Of that position were never
greater than now and the tendency
should be upward and not downward,
as it seems to be. when the great un-
tutored hordes which are coming to
this country are considered. The Ar
gonaut says:
Chicago has $4,000 residents who
hold citizenship papers Illegally grant
ed by the criminal courts. As a con-
sequence Of the discovery OF these
frauds on the spirit Of our laws, Sem
ator Cullom and Congressman Bou-
telle OF Illinois, have filed a petition
by the civic federation OF Chicago,
asking for a remodeling Of American
naturalization laws.
The facts which are the basis Of the
argument are uncontroverted. In
hapPy-go-lucky style our courts have
bestowed the benefits Of citizenship on
every man who has had two sponsors.
Federal investigation in San Francisco
has shown that the sponsors have
sometimes made a business Of per-
jury.
The reform prayed for should come.
The naturalization OF aliens should
be restricted within rigid limits. But
with better laws should come better
execution. Formalities are not enough.
The testimony of sponsors should be
circumspectIy considered; the fitness
Of the would-be American carefully
judged. OF course, a great injury has
already been done.
There are many voters in San Fran
cisco who never heard of Abraham
Lincoln or the thirteenth amendment.
These cases should be examined, and,
If wrong has been done. their citizen
ship papers should be cancelled.
Every year makes American citizen
ship Of greater value. 1t should not
be sold cheap. II given to the un.
worthy. should be taken away.

thinner and lighter colored nine times
out of ten. Not only do the damp, cold
nights thicken the leaf, but, at the same
time, as the leaf thickens it will always
be at the expense of color aud nice quail
ity; for who ever saw thick leaf very
light colored? At least that has been
my experience in raising tobacco, and
ninety nine men out of one hundred will
say to buyer: "Well, this on the lower
tiers may be little dark. | think that
it was not any too ripe when it was put
in,s but that in the upper part of the shed
was set as early and was as ready to be
cut as any in this vicinity, and | don't
know why it should not be good color.
1t looked all right when it was cut"
For the proof of this ask any buyer
who has bought tobacco on the poles for
only two years. / never saw late crop
of tobacco that was so light colored as
one that was early raised on the same
kind of soil with the same treatment. 1t
will, in nine cases out of ten, be cut be-
fore it is ripe, and no green tobacco ever
made light colors. So, once more, sprout
your seed, cover your bed with good
glass frames, and get plants early and
harvest early, for it is the only way to
get good, light colored tobacco and good
prices. Cultivator.

Price of Imported Tobacco

The agricultural department has re-
Gently issued statistics showing the
quantity, value and average price per
pound of importations Of tobacco into
this country for the fiscal year. 1t will
be seen from the table that the wrapper
tobaccos of the higher values come from
Cuba, with subordinate quantity from
Turkey, and that those of higher values
in the class of filler aud other leaf tobac-
co come from Cuba, European Turkey
and British West Indies. The value per
pound of the tobacco received from Por-
to Rico during the year ending June 80,
1904 was S0.193; the Philippines during
1905 1929 for wrapper and $0179 for
filler, and the Netherlands (Sumatra to-
bacco), during 1905, SO.743 for wrapper
and S0.l43 for filler 1t has been ascer-
tanned that when the highest Wholesale
price OF Sumatra wrapper tobacco was
about $3.50 per pound in New York, in
cluding duty, the price for the similar
sort of Cuban tobacco was $8.
This report of the agricultural depart.
ment concludes with the statement that
the highest grade OF imported Cuban
cigars, made in Cuba and of Cuban to-
bacco, has a wholesale price in this
country of 5000 per thousand, or at the
rate OF ninety cents apiece wholesale.
This includes the duty and whatever
profit goes to the importer and whole
saler.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, March 80, 1906

AID6NnIoNs w Ao's AAoiSu oO, A0oOs
Gradually the tobacco handling season
is drawing to close and each week wit
nesses the shutting down of more or less
of the warehouses. April first will see
the work finished in by far the greater
number of warehouses in the tobacco
section of this state, though few will
continue to operate some weeks yet.
Luckily the entire crop had been deliv-
cred before the spring break up of the
country roads.
There continues to be abundant op-
portunities to dispose of anything the
packers possess of leaf nature, for
which splendid prices can be obtained,
the regret of every one is that there is
not more for sale. G. w. Spitzner of
New York has purchased couple pack
ings of new leaf during the week. About
5OOcs were sold by J. NJ Conway and a
tiles lot put up by D. F. Heddles at
Evansville. S. l.. Johns of Hanover,
Pa, who has been in the state, secured a
50cs lot by Campbell & Sayre at Slough
ton
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 5OOcs for the week from this sta
tion to all points.
