mismanagement of the Indian schools
and arraigns the system by which
young Indian girls are taken away
from their parents and sem to the

teachers in the schools practice great
cruelty upon their charges and that
the girl pupils are allowed to be de-
bauched. The blame for these condi-
lions he places upon Secretary Hitch

these conditions during his (McCon-

report. He further says that the off,
cials Of the interior department con-
ceal the true state Of affairs from the

TORPEDO BOATS BY PosT."

Effective Little War Vessels Propelled
Without the Aid Of Steam.
A torpedo boat that can be sent on
by rail to the port where it is most
required opens up possibilities which
naval experts have never contem-
plated. Yesterday morning the king
Witnessed a trial of the new motor
Yarrow torepdo boat, one of the most
extraordinary vessels that have ever
been placed on the navy list.
The idea of a boat drawing little
water and capable of being navigable
in shallow waters originated with the
admiralty, who approved of the
scheme to make these vessels pro-
PEELED by internal combustion in pref
erence to steam. The result of the
experiment was seen recently from
the deck of the Victoria and Albert.
The new vessel carries two tOrpe-
does, weighs eight tons and measures
sixty feet in length and nine feet in
breadth. Her horse power is 300 and
the advantage the petroleum craft has
over steam may be gagged from the
fact that her range of effectiveness,
i. e., the distance she can go without
recharging, is 600 miles, as against
a steam vessels 100.
Apart from the enormous value as
a method OF river defense there is a
novel interest in the possibility OF
torpedo boas by post"

ACTIVE KANSAS TURKEYS.

They Are the Best Gstherers of Grass.
hoppers Ever invented.
Machines for gathering graSShOpperS
have been invented and tried, but the
most successful grasshopper gatherer
is the turkey. 1t has the advantage
of being a very profitable one, too.
A ranchman in Western Kansas
raised turkeys enough last year to
keep eighty acres free from damage
by this insect pest Next year this
ranchman intends raising turkeys very
extensively for this purpose, and near
ly all of the neighbors are planning to
do the same.
If there were 100 turkeys to each
quarter section in this alfalfa belt
there would not be enough grasshop-
pers left to damage any crop. And
without considering the good that tur-
keys do, turkey raising is profitable
industry where insects are so plenh-
full. After they attain the age of
three or four weeks they can obtain
their whole living in the fields and
cost the farmers nothing until late
fall
Turkey raising promises to become
a permanent Kansas industry. The
grasshopper with which the farmers
have to contend there is not a migrat-
ing one, but is native, increasing from
year to year. The turkeys, however,
range over large fields and thrive on
the hoppers.
