The Wealth of Natiana.

The latest estimate of national
wealth by a competent authority was
recently given before the British in

one of the commissioners of inland
revenue. Mr.. Mallet placed the nation
al income at $9,O00,O00,oOO against the
So, 800, 100000 Of Prussia. The capital
of the United Kingdom he estimated as
$40, SOC, OOO,O 900, which was double that
of France and four times that of Italy,
According to his estimate, the number
of persons possessed Of fortunes of
over $500 1000 was in the United King
dom 10000, in France $4,000, in Prus-
STA 1900 and in Italy 1,5Oo. An Eng

The wealth Of the United States
cannot be estimated from any official
source, but at the observed ratio of

Sherlock Holmes, Jr..
The Amateur Detective

"HEA" exclaimed Sherlock Holmes.

stop and take notice.
What is 1t, Sherlock" the doctor
asked. Yes. l see the tall middle
aged man with the-do you mean the
one with the panama hat tipped down
over his eyes? Yes, yes, see that he
has his hands in his pockets. What
about him?'
Hist! Hist few times, my dear
Whatson. See, he has stopped to watch
the workmen on that new building.
You may have noticed that he wears a
last years coat"
you certainly are a wonder, Holmes.
How do you know it is last years
coat? 1t looks new to me-"
''That Is because you still have much
to learn in the deducing line. Can't
you see that the slit in the back is only
four inches long? The slit must be at
least eight inches long in the stylish
coat of the present season."
But what has all that to do with the
case2 Who is he? What has he done?
Allah, he Is a government meat in
spectorv'
mo, Watson; you're wrong there.
He isn't meat inspector. That Is evil
dent because he is not being inter-
viewed by reporter or having his pic
ture taken while in the act of inspect
ing a string of sausages. Look! He
has taken his hat of and is scratching
his head" -.....
"But any man might do that. I don't
see what there is to deduce from such
an act"
"Ah, my dear Whatson, sometimes
almost despair of you. How If he had
not done that could we have known
that he was not bald headedT

ity! But I will learn yet, Holmes, I

WINDOW CLEANING.
Item of Expense That Mounts Up In
. the Case of Big Buildings.

Item of Expense That Mounts Up In
|. the Case of Big Buildings.
The cost of having house or apart
ment windows of ordinary size cleaned
by professional window cleaners is
about 10 cents window. So man
living, say, in an apartment having
ten windows would pay 81 for having
his windows cleaned; if he had them
cleaned twice a month So and if once
a week So month-not a matter of
very serious moment.
But when it comes to big buildings,
with many windows, the window
cleaning question may easily be very
different proposition. The most re-
Gently opened of the city's great mod
ern hotels has about $500 windows.
Obviously if it cost 10 cents each to
have these windows cleaned the cost
of a single cleaning of them would
be $3.50.
If they were cleaned twice a month
at that cost the expense would be 500
a month, or S,4O0 a year, and to clean
them once a week at 10 cents win
dow would cost annually $4,000.
AS a matter of fact, the expense Is
much less than that, but still the actual
cost of the work, done partly by con-
tract and partly by the hotels own la
Dor, amounts to a sum that many a
man would be glad to have for a salary
or to have added to his annual income.
|. The cleaning of theswindows of this
great hotel from the ground floor up to
and including the parlor floor is done
by contract by window cleaning
concern. On the twenty floors above
the parlor floor the window cleaning
is done by men employed on the sew
eral floors, man on each looking aft
er the windows on that floor.
For it's part Of the work the window
cleaning concern sends eight men, and
the number of men employed by the
hotel that work on the windows on the
higher floors is twenty. Thus it takes
considerable part Of the time of
twenty eight men to keep the windows
of the big hotel in order, and the an
nual cost Of the work Of this one sim
pie item of window cleaning is here

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 81, 1906


The critical stage of pure food leg
islation by the present Congress Is at
hand. The House has passed the
amended bill and 1t is now up to the
Senate to carry out the wishes of the
people. There can be no mistake as
to public sentiment throughout the ma.
ton, and II the Senate does not give
heed, 1t will mean that it is bowling in
submission to the will of corporate In.
terests. On the excuse that the
amendments injected into the bill by
the House are obnoxious, many of the
Senate leaders refuse to give aid to
the measure, but Ii the truth were
known, it would be known that the
Senate is in reality glad that the
House has changed the bin. for it pro,
vides the plan for sidetracking the
whole business. Perhaps, as claim
cd, House leaders pushed through the
amendments purposely to annoy the
Senate and thus insure the killing OF
the bill, but whatever has been the
cause, the public understands that
there Is something blocking the pro-
gress of the pure food bill that should
not be permitted. The Senate knows
that there is a demand for legislation
on this point, and even though the
bill as 1t now stands may not be just
what Is needed, its enactment would
be step in the right direction at
any rate, and 1t would be shown to
The American people that Congress is
trying to carry out their wishes.

TnE MODERN TORPEDO.

It's Wonderful Mechanism and How
1t Is Operated.
The principle of the torpedo is the
placing of very large charge of high
explosive in steel case fairly alive
with mechanism and so ingenious that
the missile fired from q tube with a
small charge Of cordite or gunpowder
will automatically direct itself to a
given target and there explode. The
Whitehead torpedo of today Is steel
cigar or automatic porpoise shaped
weapon or projectiie from twelve to
seventeen feet long and eighteen inch
es in diameter at it's widest. When
ready for firing even a small one will
weigh over half ton. They are deiiv-
cred in five sections, which contain up
ward of 1000 pieces of machinery.
The wet gun cotton in the war
head Is inserted in slabs, each with a
hole in it's center to receive the core of
dry gun cotton directly connected with
the decorating primer, which contains
illuminate Of mercury and a percussion
cap. In front Of the primer is screwed
the water ''nose"-a very sensitive
nose-which operates automatically
when the weapon strikes and sets off
the whole charge.
Behind the war head comes the cham
Der containing the compressed air that
drives this singular projectile through
the water. Into this chamber is pumped
the air at a pressure Of 1900 pounds
to the square inch. And this escaping
through the valve leading to the little
engines provides the motive power.
Next comes the mechanism which au-
tomatically regulates the depth of the
torpedo during it's run. This ingenious
apparatus has been kept great secret
and sold in turn to the various nations
of the world. Not far from the tail of
the torpedo are placed the driving en-
gines.
There is also a controlling valve,
which can be arranged so as to close
automatica after the weapon has run
a certain distance, thus obviating a
futile explosion in the event of the tor
pedo missing its target.
At the end of the tail comes the
rudder, which keeps the torpedo
straight. But the most remarkable
piece of mechanism is the gyroscope,
like a child's top. 1t is set automatic
ally by the release Of a spring a mo-
ment or two after the torpedo is shot
from it's tube. It is the duty Of this
little device to correct the torpedos

degree from its instructions

REGISTER NOLAN HOLDS JOB.
Retained Pending Investigation
of The Dailes Land once.

Washington, Dec. 81. - Secretar
Hitchcock has Withdrawn bis accep.anc
OF the resignation of Michael T. Nola
as Register of The Dalles Land Offic
and ordered a thorough Investigation Q
the office, particularly with a view t
ascertaining the facts regarding charge
made by Moan against Malcolm A
Moody. Nolan's statement that accom-
panied his resignation, and which at frs
was set aside without action, has bee,
reconsidered, and presents situation
that, in the opinion of the President, can
no. be ignored. Either the Register OF
the Receiver of the office has been guilty
OF conduct that warrants dismissal
AT all events, the Office is not big
enough to hold both Nolan and Miss
Lang, the Receiver, and it has been
deemed advisable, before taking any ac-
ton whatever, to ascertain who is at
fault.
The central feature around which the
investigation will be made is the scrip
ping of 40-acre tract Of lard in TIE
Dales district WHICH Is the sey to a va
liable water power. According to best
information obtainable, it is understood
that Nolan charges that the original en-.
try made of this land was canoe led. but
before the Cancellation was entered on
the books friends Of M ody's. having in
side Information, presented scrip and
filed on the tract. Nolan, it ls under
stood, would not approve this action and
as result friction arose which made it
distasteful for him to longer remain in
the office. After waiting some time he
rendered his resignation.
In 80 doing Nolan submitted long
statement explaining his reasons for re-
tiring. In that statement he made
charges against Moody, alleging that he
had secured inside information from Miss
Lang. Technically it was not charge,
but it is 80 regarded and is so in effect
and Nolan's statement forms the basis
of present investigation.
Until the investig CATION is concluded no
further action will be taken on Nolan's
resignation and Nolan will continue to
serve. In nevent that Investigation is pro.
tracted be may remain until the end Of
his term, March next. Investigation
shonld show Nolan m ho in the wrong
he may not be permitted resign, but
on the other hand, should Nolan's
charges be substantiated. there may be
other changes in the office.
