Polling Place In Church.

For the first time in Pennsylvania a
large church was used for. a polling
place in the recent election at the in
vitation of the pastor, says. a Beaver
Falls correspondent of the Washington
Post In the Third ward the voters
have been .compeElesfsto cast their bal
lots in wood shed in a back alley.
The Rev. C. f. Swift of the Methodist
Protestant church Of Beaver Falls re-
gently said in d sermon that the church
members should take an active part in
the election, and he hoped to! see the
day when churches could be turned
into polling places.
When the election board organized
the Rev. Mr.. Swift visited the Sunday
school room, where the election was
held, offered. blessing on the days
proceedings and requested the board
not to permit swearing, smoking, to-
bacco chewing or drinking in the sa-
cred precincts. This was promised by
the election board.

A Great Blast,

One of the largest blasts ever fired
in France was discharged recently at
the quartzite quarries at Cherbourg
and is said to have displaced 10000
tons of stone. A tunnel measuring six
feet wide and six feet high was driven
into the face of the cliff for distance
of seventy feet, and at its end two
branch tunnels, each twenty feet long,
were driven to the right and left re-
spectively. These branches ended in
chambers forty feet apart and seventy
feet from the face of the cliff and
measuring each 10 feet by 6 feet by 6
feet. The chambers were charged with
eight and half tons of blasting pow
der and $50 pounds of dynamite, and
the blast was fired electrically The
quartzite obtained from this quarry
fipIs much favor in England as road
material.-Engineer.

Materialism In Children.

1t is perhaps not unnatural that the
growth of fortunes should bring the
facts of life early before the minds
of children and that as n result there
should be tendency toward material
ism in even a child's point of view.
Not long ago l heard two girls of six
and seven talking on country road.
They were children whose parents
were amply able to give them what
ever they thought best for them to
have. The first child said: How can
we make some money? l tell you
what, Mary, we must sell your radishes
as soon as they are ripe" Mary an
swered sadly: II wish Aunt Susan
were here. She buys radishes like the
dickens" Now, these children at this
early age were disconnected with their
weekly allowance and, finding that
they could not get more from their par
ents, decided to sell to the neighbors,
and their parents. wishing them to de-
velop themselves and to learn by ex-
perience, did not prevent their doing
so.-Louisa McCrady in Atlantic.

THE EIGHTH: WONDER.
Hudson River Bridge to Be an Ex'
traordinary Structure.

Hudson River Bridge to Be an Ex-
traordinary Structure.
The magnitude Of the projected Hud-
son river bridge does not at first strike
the unthinking person, but when it
does strike it comes with breathleSs,
aerial significance. 1t will be the
eighth wonder of the world, and the
eyes of foreign engineers are turned to
New York with expectancy.
The plans of the new structure are
practically those of the original North
river project. 1t was Il long step from
Il LOO foot span Ghen and still the
longest in the wOrldl to over 5000 feet,
the distance to be covered between the
piers on either side of the broad Hud-
son. To make bridge almost double
the length of the Brooklyn bridge
meant building the,towefs nearly twice
as high, and in order to allow for addi-
tional roadways and tracks the bridge
of double length must be also twice as
wide. Thus the proposition involved
was really very much more than build
ing q bridge with Il double length span.
for three dimensions had to be con-
sidered, making, the entire. structure
nearly eight times as large as the
Brooklyn bridge.
At first other engineers were loath
to believe that modern materials made
possible so great bridge But the en-
tire profession is now agreed that the
bridge is possible and practicable, and
their estimates of construction cost
vary between S35.0OO.O0O and $4,000
600, depending upon the number of
tracks and the carrying capacity desig-
mated. These figures do not include the
cost of approaches or right of way.
1t is an astonishing feat that is con-
templated, this of suspending between
steel towers distant more than half a
mile eight great railway tracks and
four driveways, says Charles H Coch-
rane in the New Broadway Magazine.
As triumph of engineering the work
Will have no equal. There will be four
stupendous towers at the piers, each
suggesting in appearance the cclebrat-
ed Eiffel tower These four towers
will be about 500 feet from the foun-
| dation stones to top. They will carry
| the eight mammoth steel cables that
will curve gracefully across the noble
Hudson and support the two deck stee!
| truss bridge 40 feet wide, capable of
transporting 100000 persons in one
| hour without undue crowding.

OLIVE CULTURE IN TEXAS.
Planting of Dry Land Species to Sup

Planting of Dry Land Species to Sup
ply Demand For Oil Advocated.
S. C. Mason. United States arboreal
culturist in charge of the experiments
being conducted in Arizona, New Mexi
co and Texas, arrived in San Antoniol
recently. In various experimental sta
lions in the arid land districts the cul-
ture of figs, dates and olives is being
conducted, says the San Antonio Ex-
press.
Mr.. Mason declares that southwest
Texas is an ideal country for the cul-
ture of dry land olives. and the annual
yield of olives may become one of the
most important crops of the state.
Rocky dry land, which is considered
unfit for the cultivation of crops, is
the kind of land needed for the culture
of the olive
The department of agriculture has
improved specimens of the dry land
olive from northern Africa, where it
is grown extensively. These plants
have been grown in different sections
of the southwest. and at the Laredo
experimental station the department
has met with exceptional success.
THE dry land olive. which makes
the finest oil. may be raised to better
advantage in Texas than in Caifor-
MA" said Mr.. Mason. ''In certain sec

tons of Africa this crop is almost the
only support of the people. There are
three plants that seem to thrive In
desert barren soil where no other
plants will grow. They are the fig.
the olive and the date palm. Arizona,
Texas and Mexico can grow enough
dates to supply the markets of the
world.
''The cultivation of figs has been neg
lected in Texas, although there is a
market for the fruit at your door, and
success is assured The agricultural
department has been carrying on ex-
periments with Arabian dates of the
finest quality. and we find that they
may be grown here with great sue
cess.
From financial standpoint l be-
lieve that the dry land olive, or chem
lali olive. is of more Importance to
San Antonio. The rocky hills sur
rounding this city could be turned into
olive groves which would be immense
ly profitable. The district surround
ing San Antonio is ideal for the culture
of this olive, and San Antonio could
supply the country with olive oil.
THE dry land olive was introduced
to this country from Tunis, in north
ern Africa. Although that country has
an average annual rainfall of only nine
inches, olive growing is the principal
industry. Thousands of tons Of oil
are shipped every year and are sold
at fancy prices in Europe. The Unit
ed States is Il great consumer of olive
oil, and all that is used here is import
ed. This immenses trade can be
brought to southwest Texas if the peo-
pie will plant olive trees on what they
now consider their worthless land"

Coal Under Mater.

English harbor and remained under
water for five years before being
salved and brought to the surface, says
the Scientific American. An examina-

kept its value for steam purposes, and
this led to some experiments by the
naval authorities which settled beyond
all doubt that coal stored under water
did not deteriorate, as when stored in

Attorneys for Mrs. Charlotte
BIeakley Present Case in Lit

BEFORE THE FEDERAL COURT
Uphold Claim Adoption Papers Sc
cured by Barclays Were Invalid,
Because of Nonresdence.

Attorneys for Charlotte E. Bleakley,
mother of the famous Incubator
baby" have opened the skirmish which
has commenced in the United States
circuit court in Kansas over the pos
session of the child and in reply to the
writ of habeas corpus of James G. Bar
clay. who claims the child on papers
of adoption. The Bleakley attorneys
dismiss the charges in the Barclay
papers with an airy wave of the hand
as being of no account
Hold Barclays NOnrcsidcnts.
AS expected, the legality of the
papers are attacked on the ground
that when they were taken out James
G. Barclay and his wife, Stella Barclay
were simply sOjourners of the state OF
Missouri and not actual residents
when they secured the papers from
the state court.
The return also corrects a number
of misstatements which it is claimed
are put forth by the plaintiffs.
Some interesting information is re
lated in the return to which the at

answer Within the next 10 days.
