STEEL TAKING THE
PLACE OF WOOD

LONDON, July 22.-In many direc
lions iron and steel are rapidly dis
placing other materials for construc-
tive purposes. The case OF Orders
for colliery purposes is perhaps one
of the most typical and striking. Some
20, 900 tons of pitwood are sent weekly
into Cardiff alone, and although pit
wood costs EOS, and steel girders
about go los per ton, steel is winning
it's way all along the line, mainly BE-
cause timber is getting scarcer and
dearer, and because steel is a more
convenient and reliable material II
this change becomes general In the
mining world one can easily imagine
that the demand for steel Orders
would be enormous, seeing that the
worlds output Of coal is now close on
"a thousand million tons.

ROAST BEEF OF
OLD ENGLAND
RATHER NASTY READING FOR
FOLKS IN LONDON TOWNS.

There is some unpleasant reading for
Londoners in the report Of the medical
officer of health at Portmouth, accord
ing to London Truth He states that
systematic trade in deceased ami
mails, principally tuberculosis cows, is
carried ON in certain country markets
in Hampshire and Sussex, but that ow-
ing to the system Of inspection that
has been adopted, the meat no longer
finds it's way to Portmouth. The car
cases, it seems, are now usually sent
to London, and from the number of
cows that are sold in the markets at
prices ranging from 5s. to 65s. each,
it is obvious that there must be regu-
lar channels through which such
meat can be readily disposed of. Oc-
casionally one reads of the conviction
in London of some farmer or butcher
engaged In this filthy and dangerous
traffic. But there is little doubt that
in spite of the vigilance of the inspec-
tors a good deal of diseased meat is
brought into London and sold for hui
man consumption.

WHAT ABOUT
THOSE RUINS?
FEATURES or INTEREST CON
NEcTED WITH DAMMING
THE NILE.

Every morning from a little room
Of a great white house on the east
ern shore OF the Nile, at Assouan, Is
clicked by telegraph the question,
How much water?" The answer
comes SO many thousand gallons less.
A button is pressed. the water which
flows from under the bridge at Cairo
is increased or diminished some ten
DAYS later in accordance with the tel
egraphic answer, and the intervening
valley between Assouan and Cairo has
little more or little less water on
it's surface. The man at the button
may bring JOY or sorrow to thou
sands of little farms. 1t Is all ac-
cording to the message he receives.
From the great white house there
extends across the river granite wall
or dam $50 feet high. Half way up
this wall and stretching its entire
length, a lire of shutters opens or
closes by pressure of the button. In
the winter months a huge lake ex-
pands to the southwark which has ev-
cry appearance of being food, for,
in certain places, the tops OF palm
trees are discernible above the sur
face, and the SUBMITS of inundated
ruins apparently mark the sites OF
sunken cities. AS the days go by,
and Cairo demands more and more
water, the palm trees and the ruins
seem to rise from their watery beds,
until in June and early in July the
river flows freely with all its historic
Incidence.
Still the cry for water IS unsuitable,
and now the $50 feet of granite wall
will be heightened by twenty-three
feet, which will double the power of
the man at the button, and after that
no more palms or ruins will unfold
themselves, as the hot months come,
from the surface of the lake. The
palm trees will not be missed, but
what of the ruins? That is the trib-
ute of the past which modern agri-
cultural Egypt is called upon to pay

FOWLS WITHOUT LICE.
Don't Give vernin FcothoId, and
Your Task Will Be Easy.

Last summer the editor of the
Farmers Review visited the Maine
experiment station That station has
done a great deal in the way of poul
try investigation. Conditions there
are OF, the very best, with the result
that the enterprise is successful. One
of the surprising things found there
is that there are no lice. Conse
quently no lice killers have to be
used; the chicks do not have to be
creased after they are out of the
shell; the birds do not have to be fed
enough food to supply both them
selves and the lice, and the perches
do not have tG be painted withanti'
lice paint. All this expense and all
this labor are saved.
1t is a wonder that considering the
great losses we experience from lice
we do not take more precautions to
entirely rid the poultry houses OF
them. A few years ago the Farmers
Review sent out inquiries to many
poultry raisers as to the cause OF their
greatest losses. Nose Of the replies
said that the greatest losses were
due to lice. 1t may be that to lice
are due far greater losses than we
have suspected.
We know very little about how con-
tagious diseases are carried from fowl
to fowl. It may be that the lice do
more of this work than any other me-
dunn. 1t may be that a louise draws
infected blood from one fowl and
from It infects the next fowl and
which he happens to be.
There is an impression abroad that
there is little poultry disease where
there are no lice and no dirt. It is
good thing to assume this at any
rate. II may be an error, but II it is
the error is on the part Of virtue.
Prof Charles Wood, in charge
of the Maine station, was asked by
the writer how he could keep his
fowls free from lice. He replied that
1t was an easy thing to do. He start
ed with perfectly clean pens and
yards. He used incubators that had
never been used before, and he put
into those incubators eggs that had
no lice on them. The chicks Matched
had no lice, and no fowls are puF-
chased and brought onto the farm.
There has to be a beginning for the
lice infestation, and the problem is
TO prevent the beginning. This IS
not a difiicult thing to do

Either In sympathy with its brother

It sounded like howl to Miller.
"Cholic,' said sympathetic old wo-
man.

Miller, thinking again Of horses.
"But what can do?"
"Whoa!" said Miller, as he halted
the carriage in front of the house in

breathed a sigh OF deep relief.
He could find no Mrs. O'Connor.

MISS HICKS SUES

Fair Oaks, Ark, July 20.-Miss Hos
letter Hicks. one of the leading soci'
ETY. bellies here, has brought suit for
damages against Zip Spradlin's wife
who runs a millinery store. Miss
Hicks, who is president of the Laura
Jean Libbey Literary Club, and who
also takes orders for Memphis per.
fumery concern, is considered the
queen of fashion in Fair Oaks.
She got Mrs. Zip Spradlin to order
her a hat trimmed with imitation
cherries and grapes. Miss Hostetter
called 1t a picture hat and 1t was all
the rage as long as she wore it after
the sun went down.
She wore it to a watermelon festi-
val Friday afternoon when the ther-
mometer was 141 degrees Fahrenheit.
The imitation cherries and grapes
melted on her hat in the hot sun and
the stuff dripped down on her face,
running into one corner of Miss Hicks

1t stuck there and she is now able
to open only one side of her face and
is compelled to live on Cruel.

her hat were made of cheap colored
glue. She seeks to recover 1898 for
the hat and the cost of the Cruel

SUIT OF LAST YEARS
ERUPTION.
New York SUM-


Since the last eruption of Mt. Vesu-
yius the volcano has been extremely
profitable to the beggars that infest
Naples and its vicinity. They are
fieecing the visitors to Boscotrecase
and Ottajano, the two places laid
waste by the lava flow last year.
Huddled in groups which might
have been posed by skillful stage
manager the population Of Boscotre-
case awaits the arrival Of the strang-
ers. Men, women and children,
shrieking and bowling, begin to depect
the terrors of the catastrophe OF 1905.
Emotional women are moved and
Immediately contribute. Those who
do not give freely are SO beset by the
weeping and complaining natives that
they are finally convinced that 1t
would be Ieartless not to help those
who have suffered so deeply. Every
day the beggars make highly prof.
table haul in spite of the fact that not
one OF them ever lived or was at Bos-
cotrecase until after the eruption
At Ottajano the same appeal Is
made to the sympathies Of the visitors
and often by the same impositors.
here the beggars have made a sort of
Gypsy camp where they cook beans In
the hot lava and lead sentimental
visitors to talk with an old man.
Seated on block of lava with the
wind blowing through his long white
locks and beard, he stares in front of
him.
This old man was very RICH" says
the chief of the beggars. His
house, his fields, his fortune are un-
der the lava. Worse Of all his suffer
ings was to see his wife swept alive
under the flowing lava"
At these words all the beggars be
gin to howl and weep. Many OF the
visitors contribute literally to the
fund that soon accumulates In the old |
mans open palm. Some return to |
Naples profoundly touched by the
sight.
They would be consoled by the fact,
did they know It, that not a person
was killed at the explosion last year
