on this subject and it's consequences,
instead of giving liberty to the seas,
its tendency would be to encourage
piracy and buccaneering. by enabling

producing greater evil than the exist

repeated several times taught the
men how to act and proved to my sat
isfaction that when properly placed on
the tide the torpedoes would invaria-
bly, go under the bottom OF the vessel"
AS far as the experts are concerned
who witnessed the preliminary stages
of this experiment, the whole pro-
ceeding was merely the humoring OF
crack.brained inventor. Among
those to whom Mr.. Fulton explained
his torpedo idea and what he intended
to do with the Dorothea was Earl st.
Vincent. The nobleman, after hearing
everything the American genius had
to say, reflected deeply for several
minutes.
Pitt is certainly the greatest fool
length, ito encourage a mode Of war
which those who command the seas
do not want and which, IL successful,
would deprive them OF It,"
This inventor continued to the final
stage of his experiment and filled one
of the torpedoes with $50 pounds Of
powder and set its clockwork to 1s
minutes. The experiment began on
October 10, 1906, at Ave o'clock in the
afternoon.

could not of course take into account

HORSEMEN!

To breed an ideal horse should be
the aim of every one interested in
the production of horses. The true
artist sees the picture before he be-
gins to use his brush. Of course
the breeder cannot blot out the pro-
duct if it does not suit him, as the
artist can, and reproduce the ideal,
but he can study in advance his
ideal of a fine horse and then select
the sire that he thinks will be the
most likely to produce the picture
he has in mind. If the mares are
draft, breed to the imported Per-
cheron sire Castel, and produce the
ideal draft mares and geldings. If
the mares are light, breed to the
standard bred sire 500 Paulo and
produce the ideal road and carriage
horses, that win the money in the
show ring and on the race track.
Castel at Freese's livery barn from
Tuesday until Friday noon; 500
Paulo there all the time.

who met his death in a similar

the body on the handcar and

the body except a small cash at the
