The Importance OF Fuel alcohol

The use OF explosive gas generated
from volatile fluids, like gasoline and
alcohol, has been made paramountly
important by inventions Of late years.
The gas engine opened upa field Of
usefulness for alcohol, for instance,
that It could not occupy before, and
the two combined gave birth to a new
power the source OF which cannot be
exhausted until the soil of earth for
gets Its cunning and produces no
more, when power will be no longer
required. The gas stove and heater,
supplied with the fuel that is SO po-
tent a power in the gas engine, is an
other factor in our economy that is
simply stupendous in Its possibilities.
And there Is the lamp mantel, which
needs only to be heated by the blue
flame OF the anne gas to give a light
that is almost the peer OF the sun for
brightness.
Here, then, we have a common
source Of the three great essentials OF
civilized life, heat, light and power,
and the source Is product OF the
soil! A source that will not fail to
meet the demands made upon 1t while
Dur sun and its planets hold their
courses In the heavens! Coal mines
may be exhausted, petroleum
voirs dry up, and be not missed ex-
cept by the few individuals who are
annually garnering billions OF dollars
from those natural storehouses.
In the cheaply produced explosive
and infiammable gases OF the time,
and In the instrumentalitie that
make their utilization simple and
easy there is seen a great and omnipo-
tently guided movement Of natural
forces which finds no parallel this side
OF that divine command, LET there
be light" That command made a
new and habitable world possible; the
present movement-doubtless also
obedient to . divine command-may
be designed to make it eternally hab-
liable!
In the midst Of this grand and ma
jestic drama Of nature Of OF God there
sit III Washington--and doubtless In
other nations capitols-a few, petty,
pigmy men who think they ought to
ring down the curtain on the drama
when it Is but half played, and who
think perhaps they can ring 1t down.
This Is the farcical side Of the pic
ture, but 1t has It's uses. Even men
clothed with 2 little brief authority,
sitting In national capitols, need to
be shown at times how petty and pig
my they are when God fecundates and
nature labors to bring forth that
which will bless their children thru
all coming ages. There may be read
ers who will call this conception Of
the fuel alcohol situation very ex.
but thought will 0 o con
vince them that every word Of it ID
justified. Farm, Stock and Home.

Big Issue.

A Minneapolis business man who
would be much benefited by cheap al
cohol for the creation OF power and
heat declared the other day that the
people Of this country would never
know the blessings Of free alcohol.
He based his conviction upon the
strength OF the interests which would
be affected by IT and ventured the
prediction that they would never al
low the American congress to make
available so cheap and useful a sub
stitute for coal and oil and gas as
denatured alcohol. In other words,
no believed that coal barons. the
STANDARD OIL trust and the gas trust
would be able to control the action OF
conrrress against interests Of the
public to such an extent that the
people Of this country would never be
able to enjoy the benefits Of free alco-
hol which has conferred SO much Of
advantage In European countries by
cheapening the cost Of production In
general industries.
This Is only another way OF saying
that neither the present congress nor
any congress chat ri be elected will
not belong to these three great inter
ests. We cannot believe that an art
iclo o. manufacture easily produced
md calculated to Be Of so much value
u the people generally as denatured
alc0hol can b placed beyond their
reach simply because its use will re-
duce the demand for three articles
controlled BY great monopoiies. II

TIE HERCULES BEETLE.
This South American Giant Is the Big
eest Bug In the World.

To the Hercules beetle. giant among
insects. which is found in certain por

well as in the island of Dominica. one
of the British West Indies, belongs the
distinction of being the biggest bug in
the world. III appearance this creature
is anything but prepossessing and
looks as if it belonged with PINK
snakes, purple spiders and other crea
lures of the imagination.
1t is a common trait of tourists and
traV elers to make little of anything
seen in foreign lands, especially in the
little West Indian islands. and to de
clare that similar things of vastly
greater size or better quality occur in
Gods country When they run
across the Hercules beetle. however,
they are obliged to acknowledge them
selves beaten.
Although so formidable in appear
ance, this insect is perfectly harmless.
1t lives in the heavy forests and feeds
on the sweetish sap or gum of native
trees. The larva, or grub, is about
four inches long and as thick as n
mans thumb and looks like a huge
white magSot. 1t is considered a deli

who roast it in hot ashes and say that
it tastes like roasted nuts.
Clumsy in appearance. the Hercules
beetle possesses great powers of flight
and in the outlying villages it is not
uncommon for one of these huge crea-
lures to enter the native houses. being
attracted thereto by the lights. The III
variable result is Il prompt extinguish

by the beetles buzzing wings. accom-
panied by screams from the inmates

A popular belief among the natives
is that the Hercules beetle saws oil

and flying round and round. This is
manifest impossibility. as the insect
has but little power in the horns. and.
