The main object Of the gathering was
to explain and alter the purpose of the
National Civic federation, with a view
to establishing branch in Chicago.
The leaders of the Federation tried to
make it clear that its purpose was not
to act as an arbitration board to settle
labor disputes, but that it was design
ed to give representative men on both
sides an opportunity to get personally
acquainted, so that with better un-

disputes could be settled without re-

A CRUEL OLD CITY.
What Excavators Have Learned at
Gezer, ia Palestine.

Wonderful discoveries have been
made in the ruins of the ancient city
of Gezer in Palestine. Prof. Stewart
Macalister, who is now at work on
the site, has discovered the ruins of
eight cities of periods of building
there, going back to ancient cave
jewellers, 5000 years B. c. The re-
mains. therefore of 5000 years of ap-
parently almost continuous human
life are seen on this little hill. When
a dwelling fell down or was destroyed
the newcomer did not clear away the
rubble, but reared fresh structure
on the ruins of the old, and digging
now deep down through these ruins
the explorer of today has discovered
the untouched cremated remains of
a cave-dwelling race not acquainted
with metal, also the undisturbed dead
of a Canaanite tribe with bronze
weapons; also of. Canaanite thigh

infants, sacrificed, apparently, to some
unknown deity, or bones of infants

II. Another piece of real estate includ-
ed in the dowry because the King of
Portugal was just at that moment
short Of cash was the island of Bonn
bay. The English wise men of the day
thought money could be made out of
Tangier, but no thought was paid to
Bombay. All of which goes to show
how uncertain are real estate ventures
in an international as we'll as in a To-
cal sense. Out of the occupation of
Bombay has grown the Indian empire
and much wealth and I believe much
honor to the British, but out of the
occupation of Tangier, from which
so much Of wealth anud pelf was ex-
pected, came only hard knocks and
final defeat. In Tangier the English
held on grimly 20 years, and it was

His idea is simple enough, consist
ing, as it does, of concentrating the
heat of the sun on a focal point by
series of mirrors and magnifying
glasses, and the great heat so pro-
duced as directed upon a glass cylin-
der filled with water. This last
named is chemically prepared, so that
it rapidly evaporates into steam.
The steam is made to operate a
steam engine, which, in turn, gem
crates electricity. This electricity is
received by storage batteries, and a
vast and cheap supply is generated
for all purposes. With thousands of
these sun stations dotted about here
and there, the problem of motive pow
er supply would seem to be solved
The chief difficulty with the Tesla So
lar engine is the cost of storing the
batteries and keeping them stored.

its Rays Expected to Furnish Heat
and Power for All Mans Needs.
The worlds coal supply will not last
forever. Indeed, at the rate at which
it is now being used it will not even
last for many scores of years, says
the Circle.
Among the possible substitutes for
producing power, practical scientists
look to the suns heat as one that
will certainly be of first-rate import
ance in the future According to the
late Prof Langley, from every square
yard of earth exposed perpendicular
ly to the suns rays, there could be
derived more than one horse power.
Thus in the area of a city like New
York the noontide heat on a sunny
day is sufficient to drive all the steam
engines in the world.
Nikola Tesla, the well known cleo
trical inventor, has been working at
this problem. Il hope some day, =

been painted red, hung on to the we'd
ding present of the luckless queen for
a generation. On one occasion the
earl of Teviott the British governor,
with most of his officers and large
portion of the garrison, was surprised
by the vigilant Moors, and but few
escaped with their lives. After 20
years of constant warfare, harassed
day and night by tireless and trucu-
lent enemy, the keepers of John
Bulls treasury counted up the cost,
and shortly after the figures were
known Tangier was abandoned and
so the second attempt of the conquest
of Morocco failed.
Spain Had Enough.
In 1859 the Spaniards, under O'Don.
nell, invaded Morocco, bent upon OBJ
tanning satisfaction for undOubted in
juries at the hands of lawless MoOrs,
and perhaps with thoughts of perma-
nent conquest if all went well. AS a
matter of fact, nothing went well.
From 10000 to $4,000 men were en-
gagged for two years, with heavy casu-
alties, and even greater losses from
sickness. At the end of the second
campaign, the Sancho Panza in Cas-
lillian politics got the upper hand of
the Don Quixote, proclaimed honor
satisfied, the terms offered by the
Moors all that could be desired, and
retired in a blaze of false glory, out
of which O'Donnell secured duke

the real results were none.
In 1898 the Moors attacked the
Spanish possession of Melilla, and the
Madrid government, if hungry for adj
venture. had every opportunity, and
even justification, for a punitive ex-
petition, but very wisely did not
avail itself of the opportunity. 1t
has always seemed to me that, thanks
to the travels and researches of the
late Padre Lerchundi and others OF
his thorough and deligent school, the
Spaniards understand conditions in
Morocco better than men of other

"GONE TO THE DEVIL"
London Inn Responsible for Origin OF
Common Saying.

The old inns of England have been
responsible for the origin of many
common sayings. An instance of this
is the proverbial phrase He has
gone to the devil" On Fleet street,
London, near Temple Bar, was once a
tavern which was known by the strict
ly old-fashioned name, 1.-THE Devil and
Saint Dunstan." 1t was famous for it's
good dinners and excellent wines, and
received a large patronage from the
lawyers of Temple Bar.
1t was Familiarity known as "The
Devil" and when lawyer left his
office to go there he usually left no.
tice on his door, Gone to the Devil"
There were some who patronized the
tavern to the neglect of their business
and the notice was so regularly exhib
tied on their doors that it finally came
to be used to characterize the man
who was losing his grip and going to
destruction.-The Sunday Magazine.

unique in that it contains the opinion
of the different courts of the country
on disputed sections and the sub
stance of the opinions rendered by the
attorney general upon different sec
lions. The new book was necessitated
by reason of the many changes made
in the laws at the recent session of the

Autos in State Worth s5,77s,ooo.

According to the report of owners
of motor vehicles just issued by the
state department, 1852 licenses have
been granted and about 800 transfers
have been recorded. The state charges
81 for a license and when the ma
chine is sold to another the old num-
Der goes with the vehicle, which must
be registered at fee of SO cents un-
der the new owners name. When
licenses are asked of the department
a complete description of the machine
to be operated must be filed before
number is issued. In this state the
price of motor vehicles used range in
value from $500 to possibly $4,000 in
some instances. Men familiar with the
auto business believe $500, however,
is a fair average for the value of the
machines used in the state. Upon this
basis the automobiles Of the state are
worth $5,77S,0O0. Taking the recent
census of 1905 as a criterion, one per-
son out of every 556 owns an automo-
bile in the state. This is the general
average for the state at large, but
taking the cities, the proportion to
population is very much smaller.

Another DEVELOPMENT Association.

Another Development Association.

ment association. Some of the lead.
ing business men of the city of Flor
ence will see to it that Florence coun-
ty is placed in line with other progress
sive northern Wisconsin counties.
They will organize on the plan adopt.
ed by Rusk, Langlade, Shawano and
Marinette, and then report to the state
board of immigration for suggestions
and aid. And there is ample opportu-
nifty for development there. Not that
the county has been unprogressive in
the past so far as its opportunities
would permit, but events have con-
spired to keep back the movement to
settle the wild lands of the county In
the first place, the railroads did not
penetrate into the interior of the coun-
ty and that fact still holds good; in
the second place, the numbering and
mining industries offered inducements
for all the able-bodied men in Flor
ence county to engage in work that
brought immediate returns on regular
ly recurring pay days. Under these
conditions the agricultural lands did
not call loud enough to win a great
number of home-seekers, and many OF
the men who did buy or sell homestead
land became what is known in this
section as ''lumberjacll farmers" men
who worked upon their farms when
there was nothing doing in the lum-
Der camps.

NAV Reduce Ereiuht Rate.

The railroad companies will, 1t Is
reported here, reduce their minimum
rate on small packages freight from
40 to 25 cents per package. Last
month they increased the rate from 70
to 40 cents, and since that time the
state railroad commission Of Wiscon-
sin has been flooded with protests
from shippers. At the last meeting
of the commission here it was said
that the reduction would soon be
made. Secretary William G. Bruce
and Assistant Secretary F. w. Mac
Kenzie of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association of Milwaukee,
were present at the meeting to rep
resent the shippers of the metropolis
who are vigorously protesting against
the increased rate. In view OF the
statement of the railroad attorneys
that the old rate would doubtless be
restored, the Milwaukee men were
willing to have the matter held in
allegiance for a short time.

Try to Get steamfitters.

Wisconsin shops evidently hoped to
benefit by the steamfitters' strike in
Milwaukee. Business Agent Albert
Walters has been receiving letters
from all parts of the state asking for
steamfitters. The state shops evident
ly did not expect the sudden ending Of
the strike and hoped to profit by It,
getting the Milwaukee men to take pc
sitions In every case the $4 scale
demanded by the strikers was offered
and in many cases even larger wages.

insurance Matters Explained.

In letter to Actuary 3. E. Rhoder,
of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
company of Newark, N. j., State In
surance Commissioner Beedle says
that the new statutes of Wisconsin re-
strfcting the expense of loading on
life insurance policies will not compel
the Mutual Benefit or other life in
surance companies operating in this
state to cut down commissions to
agents or other expenses of manage
ment. Commissioner Beedle's letter
is regarded as of great Importance in
insurance circles.
