Denatured Alcohol.

The passage of house bill l7,453,
providing for the withdrawal from
bond, tax free, Of domestic alcohol
when rendered unfit for use as a
beverage or as a liquid medicine
with suitable denaturing materials, !"
is OF special interest at this time,
especially because of the many uses
to which this alcohol may be put.
A recent bulliten issued by the bu-
reau of chemistry, United States de-
partment of agriculture, gives anal
ysis of various materials from which
this alcohol may be manufactured
Many plants which are not usually
looked upon with favor in this
country may be used for this pur-
pose. Among these we may men
ton the artichoke, a plant native to
North America, which has been
used to considerable extent in Ger
many for this purpose. Now, arti-
choke does not contain starch or su-
gar, the most important substance
is inulin, a substance something
like starch. The value of artichoke
lies not only in the large amount of
inulin present, II per cent of the
root, but the fact that it may be
stored readily, 100 pounds of arti-
choke will yield approximately 81
pounds of alcohol. This artichoke
does admirably in Iowa. In the
south, of course, cassava may be
grown, especially in South Atlantic
states, and may be utilized. Our in
terest in the north, of course, will
be in the growing and cultivating
and using such plants as we now
have or growing improved types Of
the same. Corn, of course, would
be our chief source of alcohol. Prof
essor Wiley states that 10 per cent
of the total weight of corn can be
fermented into alcohol, but under
the best conditions one-half of the
weight a of bushel of corn is fermen-
table. Therefore, a bushel of In
dian corn would give about 10
pounds Of alcohol or 27-l0 gallons.
Prof. Wiley says:
"Of all the common root crops,
the potatoes, including the yam and
the sweet potato, are the most valu-
able for the production of alcohol,
meaning by this term that they con-
tain more fermentable matter for
100 pounds than other root crops" /"

A Eamoua Old nu,,ainr.

A Confusion Of Names.

Although Scotia is now known to
mean Scotland, it once was the name
Of Ireland. Two centuries before the
birth of Christ Ireland was known to
the Greeks as Juvenca. Caesar called
it Hibenia, as did also Ptolemy in his
map Of that island. 1t is said the
Phoenicians first gave Ireland the name
of Hibernia, meaning thereby utmost
or last habitation," for beyond that
land westward the Phoenicians never
extended their voyages. Toward the
decline Of the Roman empire the eoun-
try began to be called Scotia, a name
retained by the monastic writer's until
the eleventh century, when the name
Scotia, having passed to modern Scot
land, the ancient name of Hibernia be-
gan to be again used.

A Trick Of Actors.

Most people know that the memory
may be easily confused by learning a
passage IN two or three different ways
or by having once heard an incorrect
form of giving it. Working on this
principle, actors are fond of putting
stumbling blocks in one another's way.
A stock joke dear to the hearts of all
players is the regular thing to be in.
tlicted upon a beginner in the first act
of "Richard Ill" 1t is in the scene
where the coffin of Henry vi. is borne
across the stage. One of the men who
carry it has been raised from the posi-
tion of supernumerary to his first
speaking part, which consists of sim
gle line. Before the performance 1t is
usual for some older actor to take him
aside and impress him with the enor-
nous difficulties of delivering that sen
tence correctly. The victim listens
nervously.
"Now, most actors" says his tor
mentor gravely, make this mistake
the first time they play the part: In
stead of saying, as it is, My lord,
stand back and let the coffin pass they
give it this way, My lord, stand back
and let the parson cough"
And after he has heard the latter ver-
sion, absurd though it is, the chances
are that the poor supernumerary will
give that to the audience on the first
night.

Ants as Guests OF Plants.


The ants which are really protective
to plants are not those which obtain
their food, Indirectly for the most part
through the aphides, from the vegeta-
ble kingdom, but those which are real
ly carnivorous. These are numerous in
temperate climates, and their useful
ness to agriculture and sylviculture is
incontestable. Thus the field ant is a
great insect destroyer. A nest of this
species is capable of destroying as
many as twenty-eight caterpillars and
srasshoppers 4 minute, or 1000 an
hour, and such Il colony is at work
day and night during the pleasant
season. In the arid plains of America
the beneticent work of ants is revealed
in the isles of verdure around their.
hills. There are plants hospitable to
ants, Which furnish them shelter and
often food, within the cavities OF which
The instincts of the ants prompt them
10 take their abode. This is the case
with several ferns, among them the
Polypodium nectariferum, the sterile
fronds of which bear nectaries on their
lower face and are. moreover, Of
shape favorable to sheltering the in
sect.

Why Test Dairy Cows.

After ton years observation of IL
linois dairy herds and the individ-
ual testing of more than 800 COWS
in over forty herds, the writer is
able to speak positively of the wide
difference in production of milk on
the dairy farms Of Illinois. Former
articles have shown that many a
good COW is worth ten or twenty or
more poor cows in the same herd in
actual profit to the farmer, and that
Illinois dairymen are keeping thous-
ands of cows that barely pay their
board, or return SO small a profit
that it would require heard of 25O
to 400 to make $1,000 clear money
per year. Such COWS are common
in every community. In fact as a
rule, there are some such in every
herd. The dairy herd that contains
none of these practically proftless
creatures, or only one or two of them
is a notable exception.
The testing Of many herds has
shown an equally surprising fact
that these poor cows are not known
to the owner, or at least that the ex-
tent of their worthlessness, their
demand on his charity, is not sus-
pected. The dairyman who en-
ploys any means whatever Of know
ing the exact returns from each COW
in his herd is exceedingly hard to
find. The man who keeps record
of the production of each COW is a
rare and marked man-marked for
success as sure as he keeps this up
and takes intelligent advantage Of
it's results. The ordinary dairyman
has no idea of how much milk, but
ter fat. or butter each animal pro-
duces in a year, or how much it
costs to feed her. And the natural
result with the majority Of our
dairy farmers is large investment OF
money and labor for too small re-
turns.
These are no hasty conclusions
from meager data. The conditions
are not over stated. They are alb
solute facts, as clearly and fully and
repeatedly demonstrated as any facts
in agricultural science. Definite
and abundant evidence of this is on
record at the experiment station,
and liberal selections from it have
been published recently. The pur-
pose of this article is to point a way
ort-a way to better COWS and more
money for the dairyman.
Many times when farmers are sell
ling their milk by weight alone they

New Illinois Central Train,

1t is rumored in Chicago railroad
circles that q. Fl. Hartman, owner
of the Illinois Central and Union
Pacific railroads, will shortly put on
a fast through trans-continental train
between Chicago and San Francisco
via the Illinois Central and Union
Pacific roads. This train would
leave Chicago over the Illinois Cen
tral, pass through this city and use
the branch to Omaha to connect
with the Union Pacific.
There is one through passenger
train on the Union Pacific between
Chicago and San Francisco. This
train is run via the Union Pacific
and the Northwestern railroads, and
has been in existence for several
years. 1t is known on the time
tables as Nos. l and 2, the Over
land Limited. Mr.. Hartman, when
he took over the Central, said that
he wanted to have control of that
railroad on account of his wishing
to turn the Omaha extention of the
Central from a money losing propo-
sition to dividend maker. This
could only be done by the putting
ON of more trains and the handling
of a larger amount of freight traffic.
During the past few years the
western tourist business has in.
creased several hundred per cent
over what it was three or four years
ago. The through passenger trains
on all western railroads nearly al
ways carry extra cars, and at that
are always crowded. It's now quite
difficult to procure a sleeping berth
at Omaha unless it is engaged sew
eral days ahead of time. There is
no question but that the number of
people who go to California and
other western states to spend the
winter will increase so that in q
short time the present passenger
facilities will be inadequate.
Should the passenger train be put
on between Chicago and Frisco via
the Illinois Central and Union Pa.

would help to greatly increase pas.

would bring many people through

ments now are between the Centra
and western roads, a passenger from
this city who would wish to make {

lies, would go to Omaha over thu
Central and there be compelled t.
wait several hours and probably
have to travel clear to his destina
ton without being able to secure

In the old days there was professor
of psychology ut Dartmouth who was
so abstruse that 1t is doubtful if at
times he fully understood himself. One
day he was profounder than usual. He
lectured for nearly an hour on topics
away over in the back of the book.
The class was dazed. 1t was far above
their heads, and they did not UNDER
stand even the edges Of it. When he
had finished, the old man took out his
watch and said genially: Now, there
are ten minutes of the hour remaining.
If any student desires to ask me a
question, 1 shall be glad to answer it
to the best Of my ability" The class
sat in stupor. The professor waited
for a time and then said: SIS there no
one who has question to ask? There
are remaining several minutes that
could be protitably employed" Finally
one student put up reluctant hand.
"Ah," said the professor, "you have a
question. What is it?' what time is
lt?" stammered tho student.-Saturday

A Missouri Primary Law for Senator.

Kansas City Star: Senator West
was one Of the few public men of
Missouri who have ever opposed the
doctrine of popular election of Unit
ed States senator. The principal of
giving the people the direct voice
in the selection of and control over
the states representatives in the
federal senate has always had ma
jority support in Missouri. At least
one general assembly in recent years
adopted resolution asking congress
to submit a constitutional amend.
ment changing the present style Of
Legislative election to ono by popu-
lar vote.
Governor Folks reported purpose
to ask this approaching legislature
to include in the proposed general
primary law provision for a direct
vote for United States senator is con-
sequently in accord with the we'll
developed public sentiment of the
state It is further a manifestation
of public demand which is gener-
al throughout the nation. Every
where it is recognized that there
must be a closer relation between
the people and the national senate.
Some states have already adopted
plans similar to or identical with
that which it is promised Governor
Folk will urge for Missouri and in
almost all others the movement for
such Legislation has begun. The
early notion of the constitution

T,liomns Moore

Measured by the popularity and mar
ket value of his poems when they were
written, Thomas Moore has no rival
among the poers of Ireland. While en-
gagged at his Irish melodies, in which he
was at his best-for they called forth
the powers in which he most eXcelled-
he was paid $500 year by his pub.
fishers. Their immense and well merit.
ed success induced Longman to give
Moore 5000 guineas--the highest price
that had up to that time been paid for
a poem-for "Lalla Rookh," the gor
geous eastern romance which dazzled
and delighted readers of that day, but
is now rarely read. As n lyric poet
Moore was, like Burns, one Of the best
writer's we have ever had, of words
for music" and, in his case at least,
the words are inseparable from the
music. Goldsmith, poet of different
order and with wholly different ex.
perlence, got little popularity and less
money for his poetry, but in 1.-THE TRAY.

has better chance of Immortality than
