OF
EXPOSITION

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 12:-The
jamestown exposition will appeal
with compelling force to several
classes of our citizenship. The pa
triot who glories in his country's his
tory will visit the exposition in Or
der to learn more of the nations
story, which cannot be told in books
and to view relics, documents and
memorials connected with the eras
of development which mark the three
centuries since first the English
speaking colonists landed at James
town and founded the sediment that
was destined to be the present re-
public.
The student of science, as applied
to everyday life, will visit the exposi-
tion in order to observe the expert
ments conducted by the government,
especially those which form part of
the functions of the interior depart
ment. In many various lines and in
diverse ramiflcations of selected sub
jects the interior department pursues
Investigations continuously. AT the
jamestown exposition a preponder-
ence of these investigations and ex-
periments will be conducted for the
purpose of showing visitors how to
utilize commercial products of the
soil and sub-soil, now regarded as
useless or impracticable.
The amateur in beauty of construc-
tion will be fascinated by the expo
sition, because it will show an ideal
lied colonial city, with no discordant
note or tumble of strange styles, nor
heterogeneous themes of architecture.
Large or small, the buildings will rep
resent an era in the worlds archi-
lecture which was coincident with our
countrys early development, and
stands as the only distinctive type
of Americas S genius in building.
The citizen interested in his ma
tions position as a world power will
| be fascinated by the military and
naval display made by the United
States in connection with the similar
showings of foreign countries. Thou
sands of soldiers from our regular
army and militia regiments, and thou
sands of others from foreign lands,
will be encamped at the exposition,
where, on its immense parade ground,
they will march and maneuver.
Hundreds of the worlds choicest bat
| tleships, cruisers, monitors, dispatch
boats, gunboats, torpedo boats, de-
stroyers and submarines will lie at
anchor before the exposition or per-
form evolutions on the waters OF
| Hampton Roads.

An AcetyIene Discovery.

The advance in the use of acety-
lene since its discovery, IA years ago,
has been remarkable.
Important works for the produc-
tion of calcium carbide are now to be
found in all parts of the world, nota-
bly, Norway, Sweden, France, Italy,
Germany, Spain, and Hungary; at Nj
agara Falls and Sault Ste. Marie in
the United States, and at several
points in Canada. There is no civil
lied country where acetylene is not
in use, says Insurance Engineering.
In warm and tropical countries es-
pecially the rapidity of advance Is
taxing the productive capacity OF the
world.
Calcium carbide is in appearance
much like anthracite coal. 1t is ap-
proximately a chemical combination
consisting of two-thirds calcium and
one-third carbon. In present manu-
facture lime and coke are utilized
melted by the heat of an electric arc
of enormous potentiality in an espe-
cially constructed electric furnace.
When calcium carbine is placed
in water the lime deserts the carbon,
with the production of considerable
heat to become slaked lime, while
the carbon forms a new alliance with
hydrogen and becomes the hydrocar-
bon known as acetylene, whose for
mula is C2H2.
No other gas which has been pro-
duced on a commercial scale Is capa-
BILE of giving, volume for volume. SO
great yield of light as acetylene. Cal
cium carbide will yield, with the ad-
dition of water five feet of acetylene
to each pound of carbide, the acety-
lene having approximately ten times
the illuminating power of ordinary
city gas. =,
Weight for weight, the ultimate IL
Eliminating power of a pound OF cal
cium carbide is considerably in ex-
cess of the illuminating power OF oil,
candles or other means. Because OF
the facility with which 1t can be
transported, and the simplicity and
safety with which it can now be util-
lied by means of modern apparatus
for generation, an extraordinary heid
is opened.
Calcium carbide is now packed In
10O-pound sheet steel drums, nermet-
ically sealed, and is thus transported
with safety and without danger Oh de-
terioration, and at low cost, 10 the
most distant countries.

CUTTING DOWN A CoAsTLINE.

To cut two hundred miles bodily
out of a coast line as old to travel as
that between New York and Boston
is the coolly announced purpose of
certain diggers in Massachusetts, who
are being aided and abetted by Gov
ernor Curtis Guild. The Technical
World Magazine for February has an
excellent description of this engin-
eering feat, which is "to cast Cape
Cod adrift" in the Atlantic and allow
coasting steamers and other craft to
pass behind it, to great saving in time
and coal and sea casualty. Livingston
Wright, the author, says that the fact
that the Cape Cod canal is not to be
dug across Cape Cod itself is not due
to Hibernian ancestry of the diggers
but to certain goo and sufficient rea-
sons of economy which he sets forth
in a graphic story of engineering en-
terprise that will interest anybody
who cares a jot about the progress of
our national domestic economy. OF
national importance this work truly
is, for the canal will furnish a short
cut for the largest ships between two
of our biggest east coast cities, to the
benefit of every industry and the con-
venience of all travellers who seek ell
ther metropolis. The history of the
efforts that have been made since
Americans became creatures impa-
tient of distance and delay, to shorten
routes from city to city is full of big
schemes and big deeds This is one
typical of all the others in the far
seeing wisdom shown by its promot-
ers in choosing route an terminals, in
the simple courage with which diff
culties are faced and the immense
American energy that is being
brought to bear to complete the work
planned in these busy American
minds. Some of the history of the
persistent efforts to Shrink this
Boston-New York coast line, which
have been making since 1885, is told
in Mr.. Wright's article. 1t has been
the fmost surveyed and argued and
delayed project on record" but now
the chaotic plans of these two hun
dred years have erystalized into one
which seems certain of immense sue
cess. Details of the project are ex-
ceedingly interesting, as bearing on
the main work itself and on the use
of modern machinery under such con-
ditions. The illustrations of the arti-
Gle show features of both.

HOPKINS is
FOR SMOOT
Illinois Senator Says Il Is Not
Senate's Business to Con-
demn Mormon ApOSiIe.

WASHINGTON, Jan. PA general
service pension bill was passed by the
senate, which If it becomes law will
give to survivors Of the civil and Mex
ican wars who have reached the age of
sixty-two years $12 per month, $15 to
those seventy and $50 to those seventy
five years of age
The first argument in behalf of Reed
Smoot was made by Senator Hopkins
Qll), who eontended that the senate
had no authority to pass Judgment on
the private acts OF its members. He
defended Mr.. Smoot's private charae-
ter. f
Mr. Hopkins took the position that
senators We're not federal officers to
the extent that the senate could pass
upon their qualifications and eligibility
or could impeach them for high crimes
or misdemeanors. Ii d senator was to
be punished it must be done by the
state or federal courts Only federal
officers, he maintained, were impeach-
able, and this impeachment mast be
for acts committed as such federal Off
GERS.
The precedent cited was the unsuc-
cessful effort to lmpeach Senator Blount
Cfenn.), charged with reasonable cor
respondence with a foreign nation
more than hundred years ago. The
conclusion then, Mr. Hopkins said, had
never been reversed, and that was that
tmhe senate had no right to try the
case, as Senator Blount was not an Of
ficer of the United States.
After citing other cases Mr. Hopkins
remarked that it was unnecessary for
him to multiply evidence to demon
strate his point that individual states
have no power to add any qualification
to senator other than those prescrib-
ed by the federal constitution. Refer
ring directly to Mr.. Smoot, he contin-
ued:
'It is conceded by the chairman of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions that Senator Smoot possesses all
of the qualifications spoken of in the
constitution itself. 1t is also conceded
not only by the able chairman of this
committee, but think by all who are
at all familiar with the case, that Sen
ator Smoot is not polygamist; that
he has never married a plural wife and
has never practiced polygamy; that he
is a man in his personal relations as
son, husband, father and citizen above
reproach; that in all of the relations of
citizenship he has lived singularly
pure and upright life."
He then asked: why, then, should
he be expelled from this body, dis
graced and dishonored for life, a stig-
ma placed upon his children, his own
life wrecked and the happiness of his
wife destroyed? He is a Christian gen
tleman, and his religious belief has
taken him into the church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly
called the Mormon church.
"Never before in tile history of the
government he declared, with great
emphasis, .has the previous life or ca
reer of senator been called in ques,
ton to determine whether he should
remain IN the senate o. not"

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug
gist in Your Town and Shake
Them in Bottle to
Mix This.

A well-known authority on Rheu
matism gives the readers of larg,
New York daily paper the followin;
valuable. yet simple and Harmless
prescription, which any one can easil!
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hal
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, ant
take teaspoonful after each mea
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients car
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription if asked to.

Cost of Milk.

The president of New York dairy
concern gives the following itemized
statement of the cost of milk: I'VE
have been paying the farmers three
and one-half to four cents for milk,
and after the first of October will
have to pay four to four and one
quarter. 1t costs a cent bottle
freight to bring it from the farm to
the city 1t costs half a cent a bottle
for cleaning, filling and icing. 1t costs
another three-eighths of a cent a bot
tie to haul it from the depot to the
wholesale house. That means that it
costs practically six and one-quarter
cents bottle to put the milk in the
delivery wagon. Out of the balance
we have to pay. drivers, inspectors and
bear other expenses. There is really
little or no money in the milk bust
ness" He might have added the cost
of bottles that customers fail to re-
turn and fatty refuse to pay for-an
item by no means small The wonder
is to people who read such a hard
luck tale as this-and producers and
dealers of almost any variety of farm
product that can be named can put up
story to match it-that all agricul-
tural pursuits are not abandoned.
Somehow or other though, they go on,
with everybody concerned showing
signs of prosperity Queer, isn't it?

THE KISS IN JAPAN.
One Western Idea That Is Popular
with Eastern Maidens.

She was Japanese college student,
little and thin, but very graceful in
her Paris gown.
''The kiss" she said, blushing faint

ago. Now, among the aristocracy, it
is becoming quite renowned.
"Yet it comes as a great shock at
first 1t is so different, you know,
from anything in Japanese girls ex-

tainted at a first kiss that was per-

A Definition of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
lists and the opponents of unbelief
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense of
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
er. Now, those who have disposed of
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
ton, have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result of
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Joel
Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine.
