rRrn cRAIN ALCoHoL ASSURED.


1t Is a matter of utmost significance
from the standpoint of securing as
cheap and effective light. heat and mo-
tor power MS possible that the bill pro
vldlng for the removal of the duty of
S2.0T u gallon from grain alcohol de
natured"- that is, rendered UNIT for
use as beverage has passed both
houses of congress. The bill, In which
there may be some unimportant changes
before It receives the signature of the
president. provides for the removal Of
the duty ON and after Jan. 1, 1907.
This will give the manufacturers Of
wood alcohol, which owing to the high
price of grain alcohol has been largely
used as q substitute for 1t, time to ad-
lust themselves to the new conditions,
getting rid of their stocks and read
justng their distillery equipment. How
ever. it Is thought that in short time
practically all of the methyl or wood
alcohol would be needed In denaturlng
the grain or ethyl alcohol, so that the
manufacturers of wood alcohol would
suffer no permanent loss. In report
by Congressman Payne of the ways
and means committee the statement Is
made that record kept at big dis
tillery at Peoria, ILL.,, and covering u
period of ten years showed that the
cost of making q gallon of proof nlco-
hol was 1.S9 cents, while the cost Of
the grain used to produce it was $50
cents on the basis of corn at 42.3 cents
per bushel which would make the to-
tai cost 1918 cents per proof or test
gallon, or 1914 cents per wine or bulk
gallon testing 80 per cent With corn
at 80 cents per bushel and each bushel
producing five proof gallons, 80 per
cent denatured alcohol would cost 14.20
cents per gallon. The same report
states that alcohol can be made from
the lowest quality of Cuban molasses,
which Is now put on the eastern mar
ket at trlfle above cost of transporta-
tion, at 10 cents per gallon. In view
of these figures and the further fact
that gallon of alcohol will last as
long as two gallons of kerosene and Is
cheaper, safer and cleaner than gaso-
line, the Importance of the law just
passed is perhaps more fully realized.
Secretary Wilson of the department of
agriculture, who has realized the i'm
portance of free alcohol to the indus
trial and agricultural interests of the
country and who has given the bill In
question cordial support from the start,
states that "the northern states could
readily depend upon the white potato
as source Of heat and light, the south
ern states upon the yam and sweet po-
tato and the western states upon the
sugar beet. The average amount of
sugar and starch that goes to waste in
the stalks of Indian corn annually
would make 100 gallons Of commercial
alcohol per acre. When we consider
that the number of acres in Indian
corn is approximately 100000,000 it is
seen that the quantity of alcohol that
Is lost in the stalks is so large as to
be almost beyond the grasp of our con-
ception."

Volcanic Activity in Alaska.

Volcanic activity is so com
monty associated with the palms
of the tropics that it is somewhat
difficult to think of subterraneap
fires burning fiercely through the
hard crust of the cold northland
Yet one of the most extensive vol
canic belts of the globe lies or
the southern coast of our Alaskar
province. The necklace of nam
moth peaks comprises 81 activ,
or recently extinct volcanoes
with attitudes ranging from the
$4,000 feet of Wrangel, above the
head of Cooks inlet, down to the
few hundred feet of the Bogos
lofs beyond the western extremi
~ of the Alaskan peninsula. This
belt Of volcanic activity isl .6OC
miles long and not more than 4C
miles wide. More than 20 of ths
Alaskan peaks are live volcanoes
today, forming a varied and i'm
posing array of cones that rise il
many cases from the sea.

FAMOUS INDIANA OAK DEAD
One of Best Known Landmarks in
State Is Cut Down-Supposed to
Have Stood for 200 Years.

The famous "Big Tree" OF
Lafayette, Ind, one of the oldest
and best known landmarks in the
county, is no more. The giant
oak, under whose branches Gen.
William Henry Harrison slept
while on his way to the battle OF
Tippecanoe, has been cut down
The tree, which is supposed to be
more than 200 years old, stood
directly in the middle of the Riy'
erside road, midway between the
city and Tecumseh trail and the
state soldiers home. When the
road was built in 1872 the trees
history saved it from destruction
and the highway went around il
on each side to prevent it's being
cut down.
The tree for years has been
known as a trysting place ant
scores of lovers have plighted
their troth beneath its branches
Hundreds of travellers have
stopped to rest in it's shade, anG
visitors to the city have been
taken to the tree, which has long
been regarded as one of the points
of interest in the county. 1t stood
115 feet high, and on its SCARED
trunk could be seen traces of rec
ord-breaking high-water marks
the Wabash river running only
few feet away.
For years the children of La
fayette have talked of the "Bis
Tree" and used it to denote direc
tion. 1t is supposed to have
marked the site of an old Indian
village, as many arrow heads and
other aboriginal weapons have
been dug up near it. The IndiaI
chief, Tecumseh, is said to have
stood beside the tree and deliv
cred addresses to his braves and
held numerous council fires be
side it.

Deadly Currents.

1t is said by the Electrician
that low-tension electrical eur
rents, say under II volts, are more
deadly than those having ten
times the voltage. DIR. Berttelll

tension currents are capable OF
restoring action of a heart that
has been arrested by low.tensiop

REAL INSPIRATION.

There is doubtless inspiration
In charming lndys smile
Or bit OF rural landscape
Or perhaps rustic stile.
For poet or painter
Things like these the void may fill.
But for true, strong inspiration
Try twenty dollar b!ll.
In storm upon the ocean
When the waves are mountain high.
In daisy by the wayside,
In a village beauty's eye.
Those who draw and puilt may gather
Inspiration from these springs.
But just try them with good money,
And they'll pass the other things.
When poet I'm frenzy
Raves about lock OF hair
Or goes dotty DER mill pond.
Soaring In the upper air.
You can bring him TO his senses
From the high poe tic flight
With bunch OF ready money

As the shades of night grow dim,

BOOZE AND AGRICULTURE.

There is no business occupation in
which the booze habit does not exert
blighting and disastrous effect and
none in which it is more true than In
agriculture, for there is none in which
success depends more largely upon a
clear and level head as well as perse-
vering and we'll directed effort. We
have in mind an acquaintance of many
years ago who when his fathers estate
was divided received fine 1G0 acre
farm as his due portion. Our friend
was a hard worker and soon after COM
ing into possession of the farm became
as hard drinker. In the course Of
fifteen years he succeeded in transfer
ring his profits into the saloon keepers
till and in return was able to show a
dilapidated and rundown farm, mort
gagged to the limit, while empty kegs
and bottles, with poverty and misery,
bore eloquent yet pathetic testimony to
his material and moral decadence.
Finally, when the dregs in the bottom
of the cup had been drained and he
"fain would fill his belly with the
husks that the swine did eat" he came
to, took brace and brayely began to
retrace his weary steps up the long
incline toward temperate prosperity.
When last we heard of him he had not
yet reached the summit, but was near
ly there, the years past middle life
which should have known somewhat OF
leisure and much of contentment hay
ing been passed In the hard toll and
drudgery In the reclamation of his lost
estate. 1t took our friend long time
to learn the lesson that booze has no
place in successful agriculture, but he
learned IL. His case is cited here Tor
the benefit of some who are traversing
the same road, but don't appreciate the
finish-the dregs and the husks.

which have been conducted for some

project is feasible, that the husks are
easily reduced TO pulp and that the
