INDUSTRIAL INTEREST.
Baldwin Locomotive Works is
Setting the Pace for Indus
laIExhibitS at Exposition.

As an index to what is being
done at the jamestown Exposi-
ton in the industrial line, it may
not be out of order to cite the
work done by the Baldwin Lo-
connective Works. 1t seems almost
incredible but is nevertheless true
that this company is erecting a
building of its own 125x225 feet in
which to display its own product.
The building will cost $1,000 and
in it will be displayed the most CON-
plete and wonderful array of ma
chinery in the motive power line
that has ever been seen in this or
any other country in the world.
Every device in the motive power
line and in the line of transporta-
ton will be shown and demonstrate
ed so fully and so completely that
he who runs may read.
One of the features will be one of
their finest locomotives mounted on
a platform in such manner that the
drive wheels will be kept in constant
motion to demonstrate its perfec-
ton and show to the the thousands
of daily visitors what has been ac-
complished in that line since their
first engine was built.
But. the Baldwin Locomotive
Works is not the only corporation
that realizes the vastness of the OPP
portunity to show the world what is
being done. Hundreds of other
concerns are following the pace set,
and the industrial exhibits in every
line at the jamestown Expososition
will be such as have never been
seen in the world before. Not
line or branch of industry will be
missing when the gates of this, the
greatest Exposition that has ever
been held, swing open to the public
Cd the 26th day of next April.

THE WIND WAGON.
Makes Thirty Miles an Hour and
Blows Leaves Off
Trees.

A wind wagon is what G. H. Cur
tiss, of Hammondsport, N. Y, calls
weird-looking vehicle in which he
occasionally takes a spin.
The frame is of wood and the
wheels are of the ordinary bicycle
type. 1t is a three-wheeler, steering
being accomplished by the forward
wheeler.
The motor is a two-cylinder, air.
cooled gasoline of the V type, such
as has been generally used in airship
work, and is placed below the pro-
peller shaft and as near to it is pos
sible. The engine belts to driving
wheel on the propeller shaft, which
reduces the revolutions of the pro-
peller to $50 per minute.
1.-The machine" says Mr.. Curtiss
in Popular Mechanics, although of
no commercial value, is thoroughly
practical and will easily run thirty
miles per hour. The propeller is 6
feet in diameter and has pitch of
about 81 feet.
1T is needless to say that the rig
is great horse scarer, and blows
up a great cloud of dust when pass
ing along the road, and will even
pull the leavas from the trees where
the branches are low"
The machine complete weighs 300
pounds. There is no patent on the
idea and anyone with his small gaso-
line motor can build his own craft.
An iceboat can also be driven in the
same manner.
The idea has just been utilized in
France, where M. Archdeacon of
Archeres applied the propeller to a
motorcycle. In his case the propell-
er was carried in front, which had
the effect of pulling instead of push
ing. The entire outfit weighs $50
pounds and made speed of forty
nine and one-half miles per hour
over short distances.

fought like a lion for his country.
The firm he had worked for, pleased
with the record he was making for
himself, told his wife that all the
time he was away they would pay
half his wages to her. Accordingly
at the end of the first week the
young woman called at the Office,
and the head of the firm handed
her SO. She looked at the money,
and her face clouded over.

Hard MOuthed Horses.

Here is something of practical val
Ne to any one driving a horse that
pulls against the bit: Fasten a small
ring to each side of the bride and
rs near the brow band as possible.
Pass the lines through the bit rings
and snap them into the rings at the
brow band. This, with a common
jOmted bit, will enable a child to
to hold a puller or hard-mouthed
horse with ease under almost all cir
cumstances. 1t can be used on a
fast horse in double team or both
as desired. 1t is cheap and easily
applied, and it won't make the
mouth sore. 1t Is better than any
patent bit.

The Potato In and.

Statistics prepared by the Irish
department of agriculture relating
to the potato crop reveal some in
teresting results as to the popu-
larity of the different varieties
throughout the country. 1t is in
dicative of the conservatism of the
growers that Notwithstanding the
numerous selections of high class
new varieties that are now available
the Irish farmer continues to adj
here faithfully to the old Cham
pion. This old variety still occupies
more land than all the others put
together, Notwithstanding its liabil-
ity to failure through blight or
other causes. The Up to Date may
be said to be the only new variety
that is making appreciable Roadway,
and, although it is steadily gaining
in favor, it seems unlikely to super
sede the Champion for many years
to come, if ever. = Dundee Adver-
tiser.

THE NORTH POLE.

Commander Peary's achievement
h getting nearer the north pole
than any other human being has
ever before succeeded in doing is
deserving of all praise, of course.
Nevertheless the fact remains that
it adds practically nothing to our
general geographical knowledge or
to or special typographical ac-
quGintance with these desolate re-
gions. 1t is as sure as anything
can be that the north pole is merely
Il frozen foe in a frozen sea. Land
it can hardly be, unless, perchance,
some isolated rock juts up by some
curious coincidence at just that
SPOT from the bed of the shallow
polar ocean basin. For we now
know for an absolute certainty that
Greenland is an island and that
the Arctic ocean consequently is
merely circular eternally frozen
Mediterranean sea. We also know
that no corresponding sea but an
cternally frozen antarctic continent
exists at the opposite pole. Thus in
this twentieth century the specula-
tons of the geographers of the
twelfth are proved to be correct
sea at one pole, land at the other
