ARMS FROZEN.

Philadelphia, July 11.-While
the thermometer simmered near
80 degrees, VIM. McMonigle had
the novel experience of seeing his
arms frozen stiff. His face was Sc
verely frostbitten.
McGonigle works in the plant
of the Consumers Brewing Co. He
was repairing a leak in the brine
tank in which beer is cooled, when
valve opened and a few hun
dred gallons of ammonia mixture
poured over him.
On the same principle as that
by which cream is CONCEALED, the
rapid evaporation of the brine
drew the heat from his arms.
freezing them into solid sticks.
Amputation Of both arms may be
necessary.

READY FOR GL1DDEN TOUR.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Buffalo, N. Y. July 11.-More than
fifty automobiles, representing prac-
tically every type of touring cars
made in America. with several foreign
machines, are gathered in Buffalo
ready for the start of the Glidden tour
tomorrow morning. Nearly all of the
cars will carry four passengers, max
ing total OF about $50 persons who
will make the trip.
The objective point of the tour is
Breton Woods, N. H., and the total
distance to be covered exceeds LOO
miles. The itinerary takes in the
chief cities of central New York state,
and thence to Lake Champlain and uD
into Canada, where Montreal, Quebec
and other points will be visited.
From Quebec to Breton Woods the
route extends through one of the most
picturesque sections of Maine.
The tour is expected to prove one
of the most difficult and exacting that
has ever been held in America. The
chances are that it will eclipse in in
terest and in point of experience the
famous run from New York to Buff
falo, which was never completed. and
the later equally famous mud run to
Pittsburg. In point OF mileage and
time consumed, the tour will also be
a record-breaker. Each man and ma
chine will be forced to travel strictly
according to schedule, which means
that consistent work will be required.
The system of scoring will be on a
time basis, the cars running on a
schedule, with deductions of points
for fast time and over time. In adj
dition to the Glidden trophy, special
prizes will be awarded for hill climbs,
brake tests, control and similar
events.

His greatest interest in life now and
one that will live always after him is
The Lincoln Memorial School," at
Cumberland Gap. Tenn. He is presi-
dent of the board of directors and
managing director. 1t will be interest
ing to know how this school. for the
establishment of which, the general is
directly responsible, came to be es-
tablished.
In an interview this morning he said
in regard to questions concerning his
school On the 26th of September
1862 as l was about to leave Wash
ington, with my command for Chatta-
nooga. Tenn. almost the last words
our beloved president Lincoln said to
me were in connection with the peo-
pie of Cumberland Gap and
East Tennessee. That interview
was the last ever had with
him, and in after life came often
the memory of his words and his great
feelings of sympathy for his poor
neglected mountain folk. His words
of peculiar tenderness came to me
especially a few months later when
about the first of December, after our
victory at Chattanooga. General Sher-
man with the fifteenth corps
and with the eleventh march,

East Tennessee to save Burn

street at Knoxville. Many of my men
were short of clothing, without over
coats and blankets. and some were
barefooted. The kindness OF these
poor people was marked: exceeding
even what we had met in Ohio or
Indiana among those much better off.
They supplied us to the limit of their
ability. The men took off their shoes

We moved along down the mountains
derstand Lincoln's great love and con-
fidence in these mountaineers. And
SO from those few words OF the great
Lincoln sprang a monument to his
memory that will be the greatest yet
erected. This university located where
it is at Cumberland Gap on corner
of Tennessee. Kentucky and Virginia
gives educational facilities of the
greatest kind to corner of the United
States hitherto neglected altogether.
And from these rugged mountaineers
may spring such men as our own be-
loved Lincoln for was he not one of
their stock?
General Howard only remains for
the day going from here to the Chau-
tauqua at Canton, South Dakota, and
from there directly to the Chautauqua

MADE FORTUNE IN WORMS.
Maine Florist Returns to Sweden
After Breeding Bait.

By far the most popular bait for
all kinds of fishing in Maine are NV
ing earthworms, which have the odor
of the ground about them and which
seem to be choice tidbits, not only roI
trout and landlocked salmon, but also
for pickerel, perch, black bass and, in
deed, every species of food fish that
swims in fresh water. AS the Maine
soil is deficient in humus and lacking
in decaying vegetable matter, angle
worms are not plentiful.
More than ten years ago Carl Beers,
a florist of Bangor, went into the bust
ness of rearing earthworms for the
purpose of selling them TO the local
fishermen, as well as for shipment to
Boston. He imported a breed of dark
purple worms from Belgium, which
were prolific breeders, though
course and strong favored, and later
he secured a box of giant angleworms
from India. In the course of a few
years he was able to supply live
worms by the million to his custom
ers.
Those shipped to Boston were sold
in job lots of IS cents a pound. To
the home customers he sold worms of
average size for 10 cents a dozen.
Though his green house was a small
one, and though his trade in flowers
was never extensive, he made money
rapidly from the sale of worms, un-
til last year, when he retired and
went to his old home in Sweden, a
wealthy man.
Sidney Cook, of Presque Isle, the
inventor of several diving appliances
used by men who work in deep wat
ers was the next man to attract at
tention as a public benefactor in the
bait line. Mr.. Cook says his inven-
tion was made possible through hav-
ing watched the Indians of Canada
when they sought worms for bait.
"All earthworms come to the sur
face at night" said he "and feed on
the grasses and rotting leaves neal
the entrance to their burrows. While
the worms were busy eating, the In
dians of Canada had a habit of drag
ging a blanket with its under side
smeared with bird lime along the sur
face of the land, thus picking up the
fat worms together with sticks and
Jumps of earth and small pebbles.
After dredging the land for a time
the Indians carried the blanket to the
camp, picked off the worms, and add
ed another coating of bird lime.
Though have been praised very
much for my invention, it is not mine
by rights, as | gained the idea from
Indians.

School Garden Education.

Every child likes to play in the mud
and dirt, to make sand houses and
caves, mud pies, and even to plant a
garden, breaking off the twigs of trees
and pulling weeds, which are carefully
planted and watered, furnishing diver
sion and pleasure for the day. 1t is
an easy matter to direct the youthful
mind a little further along this line
and interest it-in real miniature gar
den. 1t is not an untried theory, but
a fact, abundantly proven in all the
large and many Of our small cities
Philadelphia has what are called
Municipal Gardens" Boston has a
dozen "School Gardens" Chicago,
Detroit, Washington, Cleveland, Los
Angeles, in fact, almost all cities have
successfully worked out either the
school garden or the vacant lot culti-
vation idea, two separate propositions,
1t is true, but closely allied The
school garden idea opens up an easy
and agreeable avenue to what proves
more of a diversion than task to the
young. New York has only one such
farm garden, but on its one or two
acres, the children plant and raise both
flowers and vegetables, while in an
extemporized cool1-house they prepare
the vegetables for the table and enjoy
the flavor of the fruits of their labor.
Besides this instruction in the culinary
art, a bedroom in miniature furnishes
an opportunity for the girls to learn
how to care for rooms. In Phila-
delphia the relation of the municipal
gardens and the schools is intimate.
But to see this idea worked out, per-
haps, at its best one must study 1t as
II is in Boston. There, private organ
ization known as the School Garden
Association, for six years or more has
been developing little centers where
the children delight to plant and culti-
vate, furnishing object lessons of the
utility of such work which it is hoped,
may lead to it's addition to the school
curriculum, and with this idea in
mind these school gardens are located
quite generally on land adjacent to
school-houses, some of the regular
school teachers gladly acting the part
of instructors. The effect upon the
little workers in these plots is In every
way happy and should lead to their
more general use.

Report of Committee.

This Commission promptly reported
that if any benefit was to be derived
by legislation, immediate action was
necessary and outlined a plan which
it believed would have the desired
effect, providing Canada would unl,e
with this government in curbing tie
greed of promoters and spectators.
The report says, in part: "As a step
in that direction we recommend that
legislation be enacted which shall con
tain the following provisions, viz:
The Secretary of War to be author
lied to grant permits for the diversion
of 2S,50O cubic feet of water per
second, and no more, from the waters
naturally tributary to Niagara Falls.
All other diversions OF
water which is naturally tributary to
Niagara Falls to be prohibited, eN-
cept such as may be required foi
locks i'm navigation of canals.
The foregoing prohibition to remain
i'm force two years and then To be
come the permanent law Of the land.

government shall have enacted legiS-
lation prohibiting the diversion of
water which is naturally tributary to

MISS HELEN CANNON.
One of the First Ladies of Official
Society at National Capital.
She Often GraciousIy Presides at
War Councils of the Nations
Chiefs. fs.-Democratic in Manner and
Famous Housekeeper.

The distinction of being the best
posted woman in America on politics
and statecraft, is generally accorded
to Miss Helen Cannon, daughter of
the Speaker of the U. S. House of Re-
representatives.. Speaker Cannon who
is genial and democratic in manner,
is man of many close friendships, but
no one is so close to him as his only
unmarried daughter who has presided
over his household since the death of
his wife, many years ago.
Miss Cannon emphatically disproves
the theory that a woman cannot keep
a secret. AS the confidante of the
official, who, next to the President, is
the most powerful man in the United
States, she probably learns more Of
what is going on behind the scenes"

Lack OF Interest.

It is certainly to be regretted that
the American people have so long
neglected the most beautiful fall OF
water i'm the world. and have allowed
any part Of it 20 bee converted to pri-
vate gain or corporate greed.
Even now, in the face of all that
has been said and written ON the
subject, there seems to be an attitude
of half-hcartcdueSs on the part or
the people to act, which is well illus
trated by the fact that senator L'lIom-
mcdicu. of The New York State legis-
lature, has asked the Senate to kill his
bill restricting the taking of water
from Niagara River above the falls for
power purposes and says I'm defense
Of his action. II cannot find any senti-
ment i'm favor of protecting Niagara
Falls. and I'm tired of being attacked
on the subject of my bills relating to
this subject"

ICEBERG In DELAWARE.
Huge Mountain of Ice TOWed From
Grand Banks of Newfoundland.
The Strenuous Work of a Tugs
Crew-One of the Strangest and
Perhaps the Most Valuable Prize
Ever Taken by a Ship.

In order that the city of Philadel-
phia might be rescued from an ice fam
inc a powerful ocean-going tug has ac-
complished the almost impossible feat
of capturing a huge iceberg, and tow
ing it into port. Never in the world S
history has this wonderful achieve
ment been duplicated, and contrasted
with il the fascinating exploits re-
counted by the marine historian Sin
bad, the sailor, appear commonplace
and trivial.
With its mountain of ice in tow, the
tug passed up the Delaware River
creating CONSERVATION among the float
ing world on the stream, as observers
could not imagine other than that the
floating mountain was being driven up
the bay by some freak of wind and cur
rent, to the great danger of shipping.
Its approach was responsible for some
frenzied telegraphing which threw the
shipping interests into a panic. Orders
were issued to hold up the sailing of
every vessel due to leave, and mes
sages were dispatched TO lower Della
ware station to intercept several out
bound steamers and warn them to seek
anchorage out of the berg's path.

Official Feminine Calls.

In the social life of the national cap
ital, Miss Cannon occupies, by virtue
of her fathers position, a unique posi-
ton. Possibly not all our readers are
aware of the many unwritten laws that
govern the exchange of calls between
women whose husbands or fathers oc-
cupy prominent positions at Washing
ton. For instance, official etiquette
prescribes that the wife of a newly
elected Senator or Representative
must make the first call upon the wives
of all those Congressman who are her
husbands seniors in service. Miss
Cannon, however, in accordance
with these same unwritten laws, is not
compelled to make first call" upon
any ladies in Washington, save the
wife of the President and the wife of
the Vice President. All this fuss as TO
who shall call first may appear ridicu-
lous to persons who are not brought
in contact with life at our seat of gov
ernment, and possibly Miss Cannon
who is thoroughly democratic may re-

Two Men Frost. Bitten.

Two men suffered from bad frost
bites, but this was due to their own
carelessness in Drawing the arctic tenn
peratuTe in the berg's vicinity without
proper clothing. Their experience was
a warning to the rest of the crew, and
when the tug with the prize passed Che
Breakwater every man aboard was
mufTled as if for Peary relief eXpedi-
ton.
The length of the iceberg was 500
feet, and it is estimated that it will
yield fully 100000 tons, which isnearly
sufficient to make up the shortage in
ice crop due to the mild winter. The
work of cutting up the mountain of ice
will have to be pushed because of the
rapidity with which it will melt under
the spring sunshine.
The monster berg was captured of
the Grand Banks of Newfoundland.
It was made fast at great risk by the
daring men on the tug, who, in small
boats tied staunch ropes around the
mountain of ice, and then let out a
long tow-line from the tug and, with
graphing hooks, secured fastening
which held firm after several attempts
had resulted in failure. The crew OF
the tug will share in the money the
prize will yield, AS icebergs are brok-
en- off portions of glaciers, the ice
yielded will be of good quality.

MAMMOTH MEDIATOR.
A Hatching Machine That Does the
Work OF One Thousand Setting
Hens.

The largest incubator in the world.
with a capacity of $4,000 eggs, has
just been completed by w. 2. Hall Of
Pembroke, y. Y. IL is lO2 feet long.
and 4 feet inches wide. Partitions
divide it into 100 compartments, eacn
accommodating two trays. The trays
have wire bottoms, and hold 70 eggs
each. To fill this incubator a single
time with common-not thorough
bred-eggs woud require an expendi-
ture of $4,000, for eggs of the requis-
ite freshness would cost forty cents a
dozen. As one hen covers fifteen eggs
for Matching, the incubator does the
work Of 1000 fowls, or has the capa-
city of one hen sitting constantly for
nearly ten years.
The incubator is heated by means
of coil of eight steam pipes passing
over the top Of the egg chamber on
one side and returning on the other.
These pipes are connected, at one end
Of the structure, to a water tank and
heater. The water flowing through
the pipes is heated to exactly the
right temperature, a thermostat at
tached to the stove opening and clos
ing the drafts to make this possible.
The only attention required by the
heater is supplying il with coal night
and morning. The thermostat is an
expansion tank, 10 by Is inches.
which stands over the heater. The
tank is filled with oil, in which is a
float. AS the heat of the furnace
warns the water, the water in the
jacket surrounding the heater ex-
pands, and the float in the oil rises.
This movement closes a throttle at
tached to the floatarm, and shuts the
draft of the heater; another lever at
the same time opens the cold-air draft
of the furnace. In this way the tenn
perature is regulated automatically,
with extremely little variation t."
eggs being kept at 102 degrees f.
A second novel feature is that the
heat of the eggs is regulated by rais.
ing or lowering them in the egg cham
ber, which is nearly a foot high in
side, burlap separating it from the
pipes. The egg trays rest on double
! frames hinged by galvanized arms
or levers. As the chicks develop, the
trays are lowered on these supports,
the first drop being made in six days,
and others at intervals, until, on the
twenty-first day, the trays are rest
ing on the bottoms of the chambers
All infertile eggs are tested out on
the seventh day.
Mr.. Hall built small incubators at
frst. but the oil bill for forty of his
small incubators, with 5000 eggs ca
pacity, was $3.50 for a season, while

at an expense of less than IS for
