CONGRESSMAN Hull of Iowa Has
Emphatic Views on Navy
and Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ct think
Secretary Taft must have changed his
views with regard to the Philippines
recently. The people over there are
they are getting down on the Secre-
tary. He is a great big man, with a
great big brain, and he is a splendid
optimist," said Representative Hull, of
Iowa, chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs, this evening.
1.-The fact is, Secretary Taft believed
in the beginning that the Filipinos
would develop more rapidly than they
have, but unfortunately, when they
reach a certain point they stagnate.
We are not going to sell the Philip
pines, and there is no use wasting
time talking about it. What we should
do is to stop this internal talk about
self government and give these people
to understand that we are going to hold
on to them; that if they are good we
will reward them, and if they are bad
we will punish them.
1--WE should encourage American cap
ital to invest in the islands, and not
hamper it by discrimination, as we do
at present. This could be accomplish
ed by giving them free trade I do
not believe in rewarding monopolies,
but if some Americans start a sugar
establishment or a big lumber indus
try, for instance, I believe in dealing
directly with them and making con-
cessions which will be to their advan-
tage.''
Mr.. Hull was emphatic in his dec1ar-
alton that there was absolutely no
reason why the Atlantic fleet should
not be sent to the Pacific.
Tin Iowa." he said, 1--WE feel that
we have a right to send our ships
wherever we please, and if any nation
has chip on it's shoulder the sooner
we know it the better. The Eastern
people seem to be afraid that if we
send our vessels to the western coast
some enemy will shoot up Boston or
New York, but they must remember
that the navy belongs to the whole
country.
ST have no idea that Japan wants to
go to war with US now. I can well be-
lieve that she would like to have some
of our possessions, but the Anglo-Sax-
on race has a pretty we'll established
habit of holding on to everything it
GETS
On the subject of national politics,
Mr.. Hull had little to say, except that
out this way the people seemed deter
mined to give President Roosevelt an
other term if he could be induced to
accept the nomination.

Columbia Park in Gala Attire.

Columbia park, at Lime Ridge, just
above Bloomsburg, is now running
full blast and there are but few parks
of its size in Central Pennsylvania
that are so we'll equipped to accom-
modate a large crowd as is this place
j. w. Peifer, the manager, has had
erected two new cottages and these
together with the other buildings will
shelter crowd of 4000 in case of
rain
Fine flower beds have been laid out
and present very beautiful appear
ance. Scattered around through the
grove are benches and tables which
are used for basket picnics. while a
new dining room large enough to ac-
commodate 100 persons, has recently
been erected for picnickers who wish
dinners prepared on the grounds.
Almost every day there are several
private parties on the grounds, and
Mr.. Peifer already has a large number
of picnics booked for the present sea-
son, the parties coming from Danville,
Bloomsbury. Catawissa and Berwick.
Last summer there were picnics at
the park every day, many of the Sun
day schools from this section having
their annual outings at Columbia
park, and the booking this year in
cludes almost all of the institutions
that picnicked at the park last sum-
mer, which alone speaks well for Col
umbia park.
Mr.. Bittenbender, the assistant, is
hustler. and it is largely due to his
efforts that the amusements are so
popular.

Sane View on College rIoraIs.

Some years ago the president of an
American university. in comforting the
Doctors dergee on professor who was
also a great administrative officer, at
tributed the professors power among
the undergraduates to his faith in the
predom nance of good in young men.
This is in pleasant contrast to the re-
cent utterance of the head of another
American university, which implied
that low state of morals exists in our
institutions of learning, and impute to
the governing officers of some of those
institutions indifference to the ethical
well-being of the students. Young men
are not saints. College faculties can
not be police officers. 1t is not neces-
sary that they should be. But no one
who has attended any American col
lege can believe that his alma mater
is an unsafe place for most Young men
The variety Of physical and intellectu-
al interests abundantly engages youth

for dissipation. To one student who
passes the night in rioting are hun.
dreds who come in healthily tired

says Youths Companion. The tone of
college life is distinctly high compar-
ed with most environments in which
young man might find himself. The
increasing number of poor men work
ing their way through college establ-
ishes tone of industry which the few
ruffians and idlers are not numerous
enough to dispel. Unfortunately, when
college man does misbehave. his i'll

ers, which Contrive to give the name
Of the college conspicuous place.
Careful parents shake their heads and
without reason conclude that the busi-
ness life is more sobering than life in
college. This unfair view is damaging
to the whole system of higher educa-
tion, the endeavor of which in our
country is to invite youth and strength
into the educated life.

BREEDING on
GOLD FISH

Druggist O. NJ. Leniger has Just
cessful experiment in breeding gold
fish. At the outset it should be ex-
planned that the breeding of these rare
and delicate fish is carried on only on
very limited scale in this country
and has never been accomplished, so
! far as known. except in especially con-
structed ponus, out of doors. Ii re-
manned for Mr.. Leniger to bring about
the result in an aquarium in his drug
store.
In his culture of gold fish the drug
gist first tried the experiment in
large tank in his back yard. Several
healthy specimens were kept there for
four years. All indications pointed TO
failure, when he removed the fish into
the store, placing them in the front
window. where with a large number
of others they formed an attractive
display.
Much to Mr.. Leniger's surprise
short time afterward he noticed that
two of the fish were spawning. which
is most interesting process and is
very little understood even by the
most ardent fanciers of gold fish
The eggs were yellow, about the size
of pin head and being quite adhe-
sive, they clung to the blades of the
grass-like plants, growing in the
aquarium. III from two to seven days
they Matched ont and at first presented
very odd appearance, seeming all
head and eyes and had attached to them
a proportionately large ball, which
was the yolk-sac containing a nutri.
tive subsistence from which the young
fishes were nourshed. At present the
young fry, apparently thousands in
number, have attained the size of
small ants. They are daily iewed by
many persons interested in nature
study.

PRISONER TORE

Silk worms at Work.

A colony of Chinese silk worms was
put to work in the window of the
Globe Warehouse Tuesday morning
and for the next ten days the store
will afford an interesting study of one
OF natures most wondrous processes.
Already Tues lay the window was the
object of much interest and there was
scarcely an hour but the space around
it outside was filled with persons cur
ious to see the wonderful little toilers
in the very comm encement of their
short and active li'r.
As indicated above the silk worms
are the genuine Chinese product. i'm
ported direct from China, and were
procured through the influence of
Minister Conger. Most persons, no
doubt think they have correct idea
of the process by which silk is produc-
ed, but daily glance at the little
spinners during the next week or more
will probably convince them that they
had very much to learn on the sub
Ject. In no branch of entom mology is
there subject of more facinating in
terest.
The first phase of the strange object
lesson is the feeding of the silk worms.
A quantity of mulberry leaves along
with the worms was placed in the
window Tuesday morning. The
worms, many Of which are over two
inches in length, are very voracious
and mulberry leaf when once at
tackled soon disappeared.
After commencing work the silk
worms do not stop until their task is
finished. The second act of the little
drama is the spinning process. Hav-
ing feasted upon the mulberry leaves
the worms, or at least a good many
of them, will persist in going to the
top of the window to spin. The win
dow on the inside is draped with
mosquito netting. In the folds of the
netting the worms will spin and as ar
ranged very good view of the pro-
cess should be obtained from outside
the window.

Science of the Future.

The subject of extracting nitrogen
from the air for use in fertilization of
arabic land is not new But Thomas
A. Edisons approval means much, for
he usually thinks before he speaks.
He says, Until recently. the utiliza.
tion of atmospheric nitrogen was re-
garded as merely a laboratory demon
stration Business men said it would
never be obtained cheaply enough to
sell TO the farmer as a fertilizer. In
which has been conducted with such
good results that l expect to see an
atmospheric fertilizer on the market
in this country within the next ten
years. That such product will soon
be imperatively necessary there is no
doubt Every shipload of wheat and
corn which goes abroad leaves the
United States so much poorer, not in
gold but in nitrogen.
Mr.. Edison also thinks that electric
ity may be generated directly from
fuel before long. at tremendous saw
ing. With new schemes for the utiliza-
tion of waste for fuel, several OF which
seem practicable, the United States
may view with less alarm the alleged
depletion of its coal fields. AS Tor the
extraction of nitrogen, the idea itself
is old, as are most of the scientific
speculations. Along with the harness.
ing of the sea, it may come, but not
soon. Natures forces are only dimly
understood, and as Mr.. Edison said re-
Gently, for every fact known there are
millions undreamed of and millions

HOMEGROWN Strawberries.

The curbstone market with its in
viting supply of strawberries, green
peas, and other vegetables is beginning
to take on a seasonable appearance
Strawberries Tuesday morning
seemed TO be the ruling commodity.
Those shipped from points south, which
met the demand up to week or ten
days ago, have dropped out and have
given the market over to the home
grown product
Up TO few weeks ago strawberry
growers predicted nearly total fail
ure of the crop. AS shown by the
sequel, however, they were altogether
too pessimistic. Strawberries, at least
as far as quantity goes, will probably
be an average crop. The yield, owing
to the late spring, may be little de-
ficient in luscious qualities, but on
the whole the berries seem we'll de-
veloped. Straw berries yesterday sold
at the rate of two boxes for quarter
An inferior grade could be purchased
at ten cents per box.
