 A manila rope, properly laid and
 fabricated, is as strong, weight for
 weight as steel; that is,, steel rod
 weighs about eight times as much as
 manila rope of the same diameter,
 and has about eight times the
 strength, the strengths being pro- portioned to the weights. When used
 for transmission purposes 1t has been
 found that manila rope one inch in diameter Is equal to double leather belt two five-eighth inches in width, so that three such ropes are very nearly equal to an eight-inch double belt. A two-inch rope, says Cassler's Magazine, will transmit as much power as a ten-inch leather belt, while the loss from stiffness and creep are estimated as only about one-half with the rope what they are with the belt.
 Most people, said the watch maker, wind their watches at night, but it would be better to wind them in the morning. You see, we are liable to go to bed at different hours, and so to wind our watch at irregu- lar intervals; and 1t is better to wind it regularly. Then we are more liable to forget to wind our watch at night than in the morning and so may let it run down. But we are pretty sure to get up in the morning at our regular hour, whatever the hour at which we went to bed, and so by winding it then we may insure regularity of winding; and the watch is brought to mind then, when we put it on for use, and we are less likely to forget to wind it. So morn ing is the best time to wind a watch, if you can get yourself into the habit of winding it then"

POLITICAL POINTERS
Republicans Getting Ready For
 Their Conventions

The republican city convention will
 be held Monday night. There is not
 much of scramble for places and nobody outside the inner circle is able to tell much about the candi- dates. MT Sewell is willing to run for mayor, but many of the wise heads don't consider him the strongest man. in the party. Personally, he is popu- lar, but the public has strong sus- picion that his candidacy was decided upon by a few corporations when he announced that he had severed his connection with the trolley company and that the so-caled getting through was simply little side stepping 10 hoodwink people who might not care to vote for John E. Sewell the rail- road man, but who would have no objection to him if detached from the fellows who have all the money. In any case it is generally believed that Mir Sewell is still in the employ of the railroad company, but whether this and the fact that he is credited with having money to burn will impair his chances of winning the election are questions on which good citizens differ It Is admitted that the money will do him no harm, but republicans who have looked at all sides of the matter are not satisfied with him and would be pleased to see him drop ped and Mir Sellew or somebody else trotted out. It is said that Sellew don't want it and that the reason Sewell has the pole is because the party found 1t hard to get anybody to accept the nomination on account of the opinion So freely expressed by republicans as we'll as democrats that Thoms is bound to succeed him. self.

FERTILIZER FOR CORN.
What Is Needed to Restore the EIe

Corn is an exhaustive crop; that Is
1t takes large amounts of plant food
| from the soil. The question often
comes up Does it pay to fertilize a
poor soil in order to raise corn on it?
The answer is yes. 1t pays providing
you fertilize in the right way
| A 70-bushel crop of corn and stalks
will remove from the soil, on the
average, about SO pounds of nitrogen
| 4S pounds of phosphoric acid and IS
pounds of potash If we give these
elements their commercial value, nj
trogen, about Is cents per pound and
potash and phosphoric acid about six
cents per pound, we find that the
value of nitrogen removed would be
SPAS, of the phosphoric acid $2SS
and of the potash $3.50 This make,

We see that good two-thirds of this
value can be attributed to the nitro

NO HOPE OF ABoLIsHING WAR.
Russian Delegate to Peace Conference
Sounds Note of Warning.

The Hague.-The second inter
national peace conference opened Sat
urday afternoon, June 16. The SEES
sion lasted scarcely twenty minutes,
and was devoid of any incident out
side of the prearranged programme.
1t consisted simply of short speech
of welcome by Dr.. van Tets van
Goudrian, the Netherlands foreign
minister; the adoption of a resolution
to send greetings to Emperor Mich
olas and Queen Wilhelmina, and the
eagerly awaited speech of M. Nolidoff,
head of the Russian delegation, who
was unanimously chosen president OF
the conference
The keynote sounded by M. Nolidoff
on behalf of Russia was a crushing
blow to the pacifcists. There was no
mincing Of words and ultimate dis.
armament and the Inauguration CT
universal peace was relegated to the
limbo of dreams.
M. Nolidof described this as "a stal
floating far above this mundane
sphere, to be always striven for, but
never attained"

CAR DISSOLyES
RUSSIAN DUMA
Submergarce of the Glasses
by the Masse, is to be
Provided Against.
Imperial Ukase Virtual Coup d'Etst,
and Overrides Fundamental Laws
SoIemnIy Proclaimed by His
Majesty at Convention
of the Duma.

St. Petersburg Nicholas
affixed his signature Saturday morn.
ing to an imperial ukase abolishing
the present duma and ordering that
the elections of members to it's sue
cessor, which is to meet Nov. IA, be
held under the new election law,
which provides against the "submerg-
ence of the educated classes by the
uneducated masses"
This act constitutes virtual coup
d'etat, and overrides the fundamental
laws solemnly proclaimed by his
majesty on the eve of the convocation
of the first duma, which declare that
the electoral law can never be
changed without the consent of par
lament itself.
This breach of the constitution is
justified by the great law of necessity,
the advisers of the emperor holding it
impossible, under present conditions,
to secure parliament capable of CO.
operating harmoniously with the
crown and rescue Russia from an
archy and revolution.
The dissolution of the Russian
duma followed the refusal of that
body to permit the arrest OF number
OF its members on the charge OF con-
spring against the state. 1t has been
freely predicted ever since the lower
house first met, March 5, that it's dis
solution was only a question of time,
and the many official denials never
carried conviction.

Tie Successful Farmer.-The suc
cessfu farmer is the man who raises
what the market wants and not what
he desires most to raise. If there is a
better market for beans than for corn
then the farmer should raise more
beans and less corn The trouble with
the average farmer who is not maxine
money is that he insists in raising
nothing but corn when there is double
the profit in some other crop.
