Tn. Steamboat and an "If.n

II Robert Fulton had succeeded
in proving to Napoleon that his
steamboat was a revolutionary inven-
ton the history of the whole world
might have been changed. A critic
reasons as follows: Fulton laid be.
fore the French emperor his plan for
steam navigation. 1t might have ap.
pealed to Napoleon had he personal.
ly investigated 1t, but he preferred
to leave the decision to a commission
OF wiseacres, who reported that nav.
igation by the aid of steam was an
obvious absurdity. That was two
years before the battle of Trafalgar
was fought. Had he accepted the ad
vice Of Fulton and gone at once to
building, the great army massed at
Boulogne might after all have landed
in England and wrought its military
miracles upon British soil instead OF
at Austerlitz, to which Trafalgar
turned it."

BRAINS ARE WANTED.

All over the civilized world there is
a strong demand for brains that are
little above the average In quantity
for purposes Of dissection. Scientists
have for the most part nothing better
to dissect than the brains of paupers
and lunatics. These, however. leave
much to be desired, and 1t is to the
interest OF the human family that the
brains of cultured and learned people
should be placed at their disposal. A
certain number of such brains are
forthcoming. In the great majority OF
cases they are bequeathed by their re-
spective owners.
Prof. Goodwin Smith some time ago
formally willed his brain to Cornell
university. Some remarkable brains
have been sold. not given. An Eng
lishman has disposed of his to an
American university for $4,000. He
Is man OF little education and for
many years worked as a coal miner
He has marvellous memory, especial.
ly for dates. and Is now earning a
good salary on the music hall stage.
Brains OF great men vary very
much. 1t Is found that men OF en-.
cyclopedic mind have large and heavy
brains-Gladstone had to wear a very
big hat-with an enormous bed OF
gray matter and numerous convolu.
tons; on the other hand, men who's
genius is concentrated upon one line
of thought are of small brain and, con
sequently. have small heads. New
ton, Byron and Cromwell were in this
class.

In the Auto World
New Auto Rules in England.


The provisions in the report of the
royal commission on motor cars will
probably be incorporated in an act
of parliament next year.
Automobiles are pleased chiefly
with the recommendation for the aboli-
ton of any speed limit. The commits
sioners have evidently been convinced
by the weight of evidence that the 20
mile an hour limit has not proved a
safeguard for the public. That this
view is widely held by local authori-
ties is shown by the fact that 46 out
of SO counties in England have new
er prosecuted motorists for exceeding
the speed limit, while in twenty-three
other cotnties there have only been
seventeen prosecutions and in Ire
lands thirty-two counties only two.
The increased taxation of cars will
be in accordance with the weight of
the car when it is not loaded, and it
is recommended that the sums SO
raised be devoted not to ordinary re-
pair, but the creation of more durable
and less dusty roads.
Other recommendation OF general
interest provide for the stopping of
cars In case of accident, and il this
Is not done the penalty will be more
severely enforced. Identification is to
be made easier by larger plates sup
piled by local authorities only Cars

RAILROAD ENGAGES IN FARMING.
Experiment to Show That Waste
Places May Be Made Productive.


Places May Be Made Productive.
Tradition has long held a vast sec
ton of Long Island generally referred
to as scrub oak wastes and pine bar
rens to be absolutely valueless, says
the New York Post. But now the
Long Island Railroad company has
undertaken to prove that the soil OF
those regions is capable of producing
vegetables OF every description, as
well as trees and small fruits. And
one experiment has been made in the
neighborhood of wading river, where
the soil was said to be especially
sour remarkably late,' and with a
depth OF less than six, and probably
not over three inches. This is called
experimental station No. 1. Some ex-
perts declared that new soil could not
be forced or coaxed to furnish the
requisites for seed termination there
under from two to six years. The
ground was badly lacking in humus.
A dynamiter and his assistant, fol-
lowed by gang of Italians, blew and
burnt per day an average of ITO tree
stumps running from eighteen inches
in diameter to six and one-haIf feet.
In thirty-five working days, rye was
drilled in after soil had been plowed
and mellowed by disc and tooth har-
row. In sixty-four working days the
ten acres upon which crops were to
be grown had been thoroughly
cleared, plowed. narrowed and seeded
to rye, fence put up, and because
time did not permit of building,
portable house and two CONDEMNED"
freight cars were pressed into service
as living quarters. The freight cars
were raised on old ties, and placed to
serve later as chicken house and hay
loft, respectively.
When blowing was started, the min
ute the ground could be worked, the
rye was fifteen inches high and grow
ing strongly. When the last acre was
plowed under 1t had reached the height
OF thirty-nine inches. The first plant
IA, and since then thirty-nine different
varieties have been raised and shipped
to market.

 MUNICIPAL LIGHT
That Town Is to Have Its Own Lights in the Very Near

PRESCOTT, Sept. S.-Prescott is to have a municipal electric lighting plant.
 At meeting of the county of this city on Tuesday a new department of the city government was created which is known as the municipal lighting department.
 The plant will be in charge Of three members of the council, under the general direction of the mayor and the entire council of the city.
 According to Mayor Goldwater, if the cost of production were increased SC per cent the city could sell current at 40 per cent less than is now charged by the electric lighting com. pany and still allow a profit of 10c per cent, with municipal plant.
 Prescott has been considerably stirred up over the lighting proposi tion, and the action of the council in establishing the municipal electric lighting department was taken in re- sponse to popular demand.
