coAlING DEPOT AFLoAT.

The Technical World Magazine con-
tains an account of a novel method
introduced by the British Admiralty
for coaling a warship some distance
from land. The difficulty eXperien
ced in getting Welsh steam coal
aboard by the ordinary methods, led
to the change. Under tile caption,
"A Coaling Depot Afloat," r. A. True.
blood thus describes the new system.
The increased dimensions of war
vessels and attendant coal capacity,
combined with the growth of navies
renders the storage of large guam
titles Of coal lucrative, and the rapid
charging of the vessels bunkers de-
srabe to maintain efficiency, stor.
age on Quays presents many disad-
yantages. for not only is much valu
able space occupied that could be
turned to much more profitable &C
count but the task Of discharging the
fuel therefrom to vessels is attended
with many difficulties, since the ia

THE VALUE OF ONE LIFE.

Louisville Herald-The Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria is a very
old man. He may at any moment
in the order of nature die. An as
sassin may cut him down. Yet his
death were even at his advanced age
a calamity to all civilization. His
fine personality holds together a very
disjointed empire, which no other
sovereign could manage. Germany
might easily enough ABSORB the Ger
man portion of Austria. But Hungary,
Bohemia and Austrian Poland would
all offer the stoutest resistance to
German absorption. The Kaiser
Wilhelm looks with dread upon such
conflict. Yet these various ele.
ments must not be permitted to coal
esce in the formation of a vast East
ern European empire, or German
plans of expansion be set completely
at naught.
Hungary has within elements O,
greatness which might make it mas
ter of the broken Austrian and Turk
tsh empires. 1t might, in fact, grasp
portion of Russia.
Not sovereign of Government of
Europe today wants the Emperor
Francis Joseph to die. lie prolong-
alton of his life means much for the
preservation of European peace and
for the solution of problems now in
process of development He is a
a grand old man and personally de
serves length of days. His trials
have been severe and many His
services to humanity not few. his
subjects trust and love him. Inter
ested profoundly in the worlds peace.
America wishes the Austrian emper-
or many long years yet to adorn and
strengthen Europe, as WEI as to beau
| tify human life.

NEW METHOD BEING TESTED
At UNIVERSITY.
REASONABLY SUCCESSFUL
Draws LacteaI Fluid by Air Suction
AS Effective and Thorough as
Most Careless Hands and Claimed
to Be More sanitary-Success
Would Revoutionize Dairying.

An interesting experiment is being
conducted at the dairy barn of the
Wisconsin experiment station with
milking machine manufactured by the
Burrell Manufacturing Co., a New
York firm. Tho trial has been in
progress for two months and the ma
chine is being tested on ten cows.
The milk is drawn by suction,
there being four rubber tubes con
nected with the milk pail, the receiy-
ing ends of which are shaped like a
telephone receiver and are fitted
with rubber rings of various widths
to accommodate the different sizes of
teats.
Two COWS can be MIXED into one
pail and any number of COWS in pairs
could be MIXED at the same time as
the machines are attached to a pipe
which is connected with an exhaust
pump operated usually by a gasoline
engine.
In operation the tubes exhaust in
couples, alternately, resembling some
what the process of hand milking.
The machine is regarded as reason
ably successful. 1t takes a trifle
longer to get the milk than would be
necessary by hand and there is some
manipulation Of the udder necessary
to thoroughly extract the milk but
the amount undrawn as shown by
hand stripping after the tubes are re
moved is very small-not as much
as many a careless hand mixer
leaves.
1t takes about As minutes to pre-
pare the machine for business and to
clean it after use. The tubes are left
| in lime. water to sterilze them when
not in use.
The outfit costs $3.50 and it is not
too much to say that when there is a
successful milking machine at rea-
sonable price, there will be a revolu-
| ton in dairying. AS an indication OF
| the nervous temperament of a good
HIN CO" anu VI 'hS many 'iih6 81
which affect the flow of milk, it was
stated by the attendant that one par
ticular COW was short four pounds
| (about two quarts) of her usual yield
of milk, and no other explanation
could be given, other than the pres
ence of half dozen strangers who
talked in ordinary tones during the
| progress of the milking

More Room for Reform.

Aprops of the presidents recommen-
dation that the public coal lands be
permanently withdrawn from entry,
with view to their development
under the auspices of the national
government, it is officially stated that
there are between 10000, 900 and 60
100000 acres of such lands still in
the governments possession and the
governments survey will undoubtedly
add largely to this area. Thousands
of acres Of these lands have hitherto
been sold at figure not exceeding
$50 an acre from which the coal roy
alties under the proposed system
would be $1,000 an acre at least. OBJ
viously there is fine opportunity for
reform here.-Boston Herald.

Hunter in Real Hard Luck.

The Burlington agent at Tina went
rabbit hunting Thursday morning. He
only took twenty-five shells with him
and after shooting twenty-four times
he had not killed a single "bunnie ="
He knew it would not do to go to
town without some game so he gave
a negro boy a nickel for a live rabbit.
He then tied a string to the rabbits
leg and tied the other end Of the
string to & cornstalk. stepping back
about fifteen feet he took deliberate
aim and fred the last shell he had.
But instead Of hitting the rabbit he CIT
the string and the rabbit hoped away,
winking at him as he went

cilities for handling are necessarily
somewhat limited.
In order to overcome, if possible,
these disadvantages, The British Ad-
miralty recently decided to test a
new type of floating coaling depot
equipped with the latest facilities for
transshipping coal to war vessles.
For this purpose contract was plae-
ed with the Temerley Transporter
Comany of BishoLsgate street, Lon
don, for one of their patent depots
with a capacity of 10000 tons.
1t is possible to moor the depot at
any convenient spot in the harbor,
thus leaving the quays unoccup,ad
for other more valuable work Great
er storage capacity within defined
space is secured. while there is TO
breakage in loading the coal.
The article gives in detail a very
interesting description of the method.

THE WAY OF PERPETUAL YOUTH

o. S. Marden, in Success.-Never
retire from active life If you can
possibly avoid it; keep in the swim, "
keep the mind active; never refer
to your advancing ears or say lat
my age" To preserve youth you mus,
have a variet of experience. The
country woman ar 30 though breath
ing purer air and living on more
healthful diet than the city woman
often looks like so, while the latter
at the same age does not look more
than 30. But her mind Is more act
i've than that of her country sister:
that is the secret OF her more youth
full appearance.
Nothing else ages one more randi
ly than monotony-a dead level ex-
istence without change of scene or
experience. The mind must be kept
fresh or it will age ana the body
cannot be younger than lie mind.
Few minds are strong enough to
overcome the aging influence of the
monotonous life which rules in the
average countr home. City people
have infinite greater variety of life.
They enjoy themselves a great ieal
more than country people. They
work hard when at work, but when
they are through they drop every
thing and have a good time There
Is no doubt that the theater in
spite of its many evils, has done a
great deal toward erasing the marks
of age. People who laugh much re-
tain their youth longer

JoTrINes FROM PYTHIAN HALL

One bright SUNDAY morning a few
weeks ago as the Pythian Hall was
filled with candidates waiting to be
initiated into that ancient and honor
able Order, a new and novel sensa-
tion occurred. AS one good brother
was waiting in line to go through the
last sacred rite that would make him
full-Aedged Knight becoming sud
denly seized with the dread of what
had gone before and what was to
come, seeing an open window behind
him at least sixteen feet from the
Ground, leaped out and was gone
The last seen of him he was still run
ming on the road toward Gallatin and
fellow traveller asking the matter
got the following reply-"Are they
still after me?"

and Notwithstanding he was put down
as crank, he followed this why UNI
til the discovery of America was the
result.
"The Negro, if he would ask why
laws were passed against him, re-
stricting his privileges and his liber-
ty; why his dollar was not worth as
much as any one else's; why he was
not given fair trial, and thousand
other things, would soon either have
the question answered or know the
reason why Those acquainted with
geography and especially physical ge-
ography, know that if a ship is placed
in the current at Cape Verde, Africa,
it would of it's own accord float in the
current to America. Why, then, did
the Negro not get a ship and come to
America of his own accord, then go
back and bring the white man as
slave?"
Continuing, DR.. Roman said: ut is
strange that one Negro in park in
New York, where there we're ten thou
sand whites, would receive d brick
thrown from the outside. The Negro
will certainly hold that the brick was
thrown at him, yet the party on the
outside who threw the brick did not
even know that the Negro was on the
inside. Why should this brick strike
him? This is the question to be asked
at all times"
The address was one that will evil
dently put the people to thinking. The
hall was crowded to it's uttermost and
the entertainment was enjoyed
throughout.
Mr.. J. G. Napier and DR.. r. f. Boyd
were also introduced and made timely
addresses. Refreshments we're served
afterwards, and DR.. Roman was pre-
sented with a beautiful cake Iii the
shape of a heart. After all had par
taken of refreshments, DR.. A. M.
Townsend was invited to the instru-
ment and played God be with you till
we meet again." the guests present
joining in the singing, led by Mr.

Fully two hundred volumes OF the
choicest selections by well-known Ne
gro authors and many white authors
were contributed to the entertainment

donors were entered.

pRMscUoUs SHOOTING.

Last Saturday night between 10 and
II o'clock the residents in the neigh
horhood of Seventeenth avenue, North,
Patterson and Cedar streets were
startled to hear a pistol shot. Upon
investigation it was learned that two
colored boys about fourteen and fif-
teen years of age were seated on the
curbing in front of their homes, and
policeman who happened along
thought, as he said, that he would
fire into the air in order to frighten
the boys and keep them off the street
at that time of night. The statement
about firing into the air, however, was
not corroborated by the boys for they
claim that the bullet whizzed by their
heads so closely that it nearly scared
them to death. The mother of one OF
the boys, who was sitting on her porch,
saw the affair and she states that the
light from the pistol indicated that it
was not fired in the air.
