RAILROAD BOAT ao5 FEET LONG.
It Is the Largest Craft Ever Con-
 structed on Inland Waters.

It Is the Largest Craft Ever Con-
 structed on Inland Waters.
 The Albatross, the largest boat ever constructed on an inland water, has been launched here In the Dubuque boat and boiler works, says the Du- buque correspondent of the Minneapo- lis Tribune. This boat Is being built for the Louisiana & Mississippi Rail- way Company. and will be used by 1t In transferring cars across the Mississippi River between Yicksburg and the Del ta.
 The hull of the Albatross Is construct ed entirely of steel, on which sixty-f1ye carloads, or more than 1900 tons, have been used. It is 305 feet long from bow to stern and has a width Of 52 feet, without the guards With the guards, which are IS feet and inches wide, the boat will have total width of S9 feet
 When fully completed the boat will draw even feet of water. When load ed to Its intended capacity It will draw an additional 6 inches
 The boat Is to be a sidewheeler and Its motive power will come from four boilers and two engines, two boilers and one engine being located on either side near the wheelhouses. The boil CTS will, combined. have 1000 horse power, and the engines 1000 horse power.
 Running through the entire length of the boat will be two railroad tracks, each capable Of containing eight ordi- nary freight cars, or sixteen In all.
 The hull Is divided into thirty nine water tight compartments, to guard against the sinking of the craft If 1t should sustain an injury In any of It's parts
 Though the harbor on which the boat yards are located was frozen over and the Ice was about six inches In thick ness, the builders determined to launch now that they might go on with the work during the winter months and have It ready to go into commission at the opening of navigation next spring.
 Removing this ice from the harbor required considerable work, as a field over 300 feet long and about POO feet wide had to be cleared to allow It to float without injury.
 The Albatross will do duty with the Pelican, which Is now in service and which was built by the same company about five years ago.

Motto for the Graveyard,

Shortly before one of the new ceme- teries just outside the city limits on the north was opened the man who do- hated the land used to walk through the property every day. One day he took his gardener with him to make suggestions as to the location of several flower beds he wished to have placed In various sections of the new cemetry.
 On their way home he told the gar dener he thought there was one thing lacking in the cemetery and that was a gateway at the entrance with a motto inscribed thereon. He said: John, I have been thinking up the subject of a suitable motto, but can't seem to think of anything that we don't see at the entrance of almost every cemetery we go to. Can't you think of some sulta- ble inscriptionT"

 Bonayita vainly tried to regain mas tery over the fighting beasts. The lions were no longer the puppets of a show; they were the monarchs of the forest, wild and savage.
 Seeing his power gone. Bonavita did his best to save his own life. He sue ceeded in getting out, thanks to his wonderful nerve-for he had to jump over the backs of the fighting animals, and in doing 30 he received a deep wound in the shoulder.
 There was nothing to be done but to let the lions fight 1t out, which they did For nearly two hours that aw- ful battle ragged, while I grew sick and faint; but, when the lions were ex- hausted Bonavita, wounded as he was, went in and drove them into their cages.
 Many of the lions after this terrible fight were seriously injured. and had to be treated for wounds, cuts and tears; but they had fought themselves out, and the next week they went through their performances as mildly as kittens

Hordeaux MIxfura.

Following Is the formula for the in- sectide known as Bordeaux mixture; Copper sulphate (blue vitrioD, 1 pounds; quicklime, 4 pounds; water to make 50 gallons. Use a tight barrel, such as for coal oil. Dissolve the cop per in hot water. If wanted for imme- dlate use, or place 1t In an old gunny sack and suspend It In the barrel, two- thirds full of water, until 1t Is all dissolved. In another vessel slake the lime, add water until 1t Is Of the con- sistency of milk, and when cool pour It into the copper solution, using a sieve to remove all coarse material Stir this mixture and fill the barrel with water; 1t Is then ready for use. For plants with tender foliage only one half the amount of copper and lime should be used.

LIONS IN A FIGHT.
~~~~~~%~N~

While writing of the nature and dis position of lions in her book, Behind the Scenes with Wild Animals" Ellen yelvin describes a battle between a number of these brutes which took place in g showroom at Richmond. Va. It came of at a rehearsal, so that the public lost the chance to see It Only one man was concerned in the fight. That was Captain Bona vita, who had managed twenty-seyen Hons at one time. The cause of the fight was the arrival of newcomers from their native jungles
 When the arena was ready for the rehearsal, Bonayita had considerable trouble in getting the animals out. and when the first one finally appeared, 1t was not in the slow, stately manner h which he usually entered, but in quick. restless way, which showed that he was in an excltable state. He was followed by seventeen others, all In the same nervous condition.
 Instead of getting on the pedestals in their usual way, the lions, with one exception, a big, muscular fellow, be- gan to sniff at the corners of the arena. where the newcomers had been exercising. and every moment added to their rage. Their fierce natures were excited by jealousy, and this soon cul- minated in rage and passion, 50 that when one lion presumed to go over to a corner and follow up the sniffing of another, the first one turned upon him and bit him savagely. The other promptly retaliated. and in the twink ling of an eye they were fighting fercely.
 The temper of the others flashed up like gunpowder. and almost instantly seventeen lions were engaged in a wild, free fight
 The one big fellow which had climb cd on his pedestal when he entered still sat there, but at this moment the remaining nine lions appeared In the arena, followed by Bonavita.
 The animals rushed forward Into the battle; the big lion with an ugly snarl leaped from his pedestal into the thick of the fray, and in an instant twenty. seven lions were fighting with teeth and claws. In the midst of 1t all stood one man. calm, self possessed, but with every nerve and muscle at their

House for Twenty Hens.

A cheap house to keep twenty fowls can be made out of two piano boxes at a cost of $5 or less. The boxes are set back to back about twenty inches apart, and the backs and tops removed. The top of one Is used to fill up the floor space between the boxes. and the top of the other will fill In the space at one end. The material from the backs will provide nearly If not quite enough lumber to make the roof and door.
 Either a peaked roof can be put on as shown in the cut, or shed roof. A window can be placed In the front or In the side opposite the door. Build a platform 2 feet above the floor at the back side as far out as the door, which will be 24 to 30 inches wide. Over this place one or two roosts of 2x3 scantling planed smooth.
 The house may be set on 2x4 joists, laid edgewise and ends rounded. It

MERITS OF THE CAREY ACT.
Settlers Can Acquire Title to Irri.
 gated Land Easily.

The people Of the east are as | rule familiar only with the different irriga- ton enterprises undertaken by the United States government, says the World To-Day. But In the west there is not little difference of opinion as to the practical merits from the settlers point of view of the federal plan of reclamation and settlement and tho State plan under the Carey act.
 The latter, which Is best illustrated in the Twin Falls project, empowers the State to undertake or to contract for huge irrigation enterprises, permits the settler to contract for quarter section or less. and when the water Is ready to be delivered in his ditches to settle and begin to improve and make living of the land. He Is then able to acquire title to his holdings provided he clears and cultivates at least one-eighth within year, when his property becomes taxable and the community can begin public improve ments.
 Under the Newlands act the Federal government conducts the enterprise and the settler must wait five years before he can acquire his title and must move on when he files his claim, irrespective of the prospects of obtaining water. Taxes cannot be levied. since the prop erty is not taxable. There Is no doubt, of course. that the Carey act, allowing Of a more flexible method of bringing great areas under cultivation and turn Ing them over to settlers. must be count ed as highly important factor In the development of the great west. Nor Is there as yet danger of huge corporate holdings At present the average hold ing Is ninety acres.

Haym akfuU,

To make hay of prime quality west of the Cascade mountains Is often difficult matter, says a farmers bulle- tin issued by the United States De partment of Agriculture Most of the hay crops, If allowed to mature nat urally. are ready to cut during the month of June, while the late spring rains are usually not over until the 1st of July. Thus haymaking would naturally occur at time when good weather cannot always be relied upon. Even when the weather is fair the nights are cool and dews are frequent and heavy. This difficulty Is often partially overcome by pasturing the meadows In the spring until about the 1st of May to retard' the development O. the crop, so that haymaking will oc- cur after the late spring rains are over

Bringing Back Birds.

Alabama quail and Virginia pheas- ants are being introduced Into all parts of Illinois by the State game warden, whose intention is, If possible, to place at least a pair of birds on each farm In every one of the 102 counties of the State. It Is expected that farmers will protect them as much as possible from hunters and feed them during the cold season.
 A rush of farmers to cooperate in this plan of the game warden Is report. ed. Each is anxious to receive birds, and pledges himself to care for them. The end in view is the destruction of Insects by the birds, and the expenses of the enterprise are paid out of the fund from hunters ncenss2

 The focks of llamas belonged to the sun and the Inca. IL was death to kill one. At certain seasons of the year they were collected from the hills and shorn. Large numbers were sent to supply food for the court and to be used at the religious festivals and sac ridces- Male llamas only were killed. The wool belonged to the Inca and was stored in the government deposi- tories and dealt out according as the peoples wants required. In this way they were provided with warm cloth ing. When they had worked up enough wool into clothing for themselves they were then employed In working up material for the Inca. The distrlbu- tion of the wool and superintendence of its manufacture were in the hands of officers appointed for the purpose. No one was allowed to be idle. Idle ness was a crime and was severely punished.
 All the mines belonged to the Inca and were worked for his benefit. The various employments were usually In the hands of few and became heredi. tary. What the father was that the son became. A great part of the agri- cultural products was stored in grana- ries scattered up and down the coun. try and was dealt out to the people as required. It will thus be seen that there was no chance for man to be- come rich, neither could he become poor. The spirit of speculation had no existence there.-Chambers Journal

 It makes the ordinary y-hard-working householder envious to see the luxuri- ous display of fortunes fayorites. He finds It hard enough to struggle to get the necessities of life without any of its delicacies, and to keep the cost within his income. Nor can he look back into the days Of long ago for con- solation. IL only increases his discom- fture to compare his expense account with those of his ancestors.
 If man had a quarter in his pocket In the days of the Plantagenets, for in- stance, be could keep his family well supplied for week. With that amount of money he could smile at the butcher, bow openly to the grocer, and look the rest of the world as squarely in the face as did the village blacksmith

 In the fourteenth century 2 cents would buy pair of chickens, and a nickel for goose it to grace any Christmas dinner table, and a penny would purchase dozen new-laid eggs.
 Nae..i sometimes fell as low as Il cents quarter, though after great storm, or in time of "grleyous famine," It would rise as high as S4 and s a quarter. Still, at these prices a good many pounds of bread could be bought for penny.
 Pasture and arable lands were ridicu- lously cheap-2 cents an acre for the former and 12 cents an acre for the latter being considered a fair annual rental. Draft horses were a drug on the market at T2 cents each, and oxen at S1.20. In the days of the second Henry $50 would have equipped farm with three draft horses, half a dozen oxen, twenty COWS and 200 sheep, leav- ing balance of g toward the pay ment of the rent-about s a year.
 As for labor, cents a day was deemed good wages for an ordinary laborer. and even at harvest time i cents a day was the highest sum e1- pected.
 House rent was so absurdly small that the Lord Mayor of London paid only s4.s0 year to hls landlord; and the Chancellor, with an annual salary of S192, seemed poorer than many a cook of our own time When a father sent his son to a university six cen turies ago, cents a day was consid- cred comfortable allowance, with margin for luxuries.
 In the reign of Queen Elizabeth prices were still exceedingly modest, and, 1t Is only fair to add. wages low In proportion. From a household book of 15S9 We take the following typical prices: Beef, 21a cents a pound; neck of mutton, 12 cents; twenty-eight pounds of veal and a shoulder of nut ton, 56 cents; cheese, cents a pound; wheat, S3-s4 a quarter ton.

Hog Cholera Discovery.


 Hog cholera has long been a cause of heavy loss to the farmers, and for years scientists In the Department of Agricul- ture have been working on the prob lem of the cause and prevention of this disease. Recent work of the bureau of animal industry has demonstrated that the contagion consists of virus which exists In the blood and other fluids of diseased animals, but which can pass through the finest filter; Is invisible under the microscope, and therefore cannot be isolated or dlscerned by any of the usual methods.
 This important discovery. which has since been confirmed by eminent sclen- tific authorities In England and on tho continent of Europe, affords an expla- nation of the failure of past efforts to produce a satisfactory vaccine.
 The bureau has conducted expert ments with view to producing a vac cine of serum which will prevent or cure the disease. Successful results have been obtained In an experimental way, and efforts are now being made to adapt the method to practical and general use.
 The method has been patented by the department h the name of the sci enlist who evolved 1t. pr. Marion Dor set the patent having been taken out in such manner as to insure to all the people In the United States the right to Its use free of royalty.
