EPIDEMIC Of TEXAS
FEVER IN COUNTY
Deadly Disease Among Cattle
Infects Herds Near
South Line
MANY HEAD ARE oUARANTI NED
Assistant state Veterinarian Neiman
Pronounces the Disease Texas Fever
After Inspecting Stricken Animals
Several Head Ordered kIled-Dis-
ease Came From South.

What may prove to result IN serious
,osses "a cattle feeders and farmers in
this county has been found IN 'he
southern part of the county, near
Rhodes, in an epidemic of Texas fever.
Assistant State Veterinary +. j. Mel
man, of this city, who was called 10
Rhodes to investigate, declares the dis
ease to be genuine Texas fever, ana
today went to Des Moines to place the
situation before State Veterinarian
Paul o. Koto, of Forest City, who is IN
the capital city in attendance at the
state fair.
Many Head Guaranteed.
DR.. Neiman inspected many OF the
stricken animals, at Rhodes, Collins, IN
Jasper county. and Colo, in Story coun-
ty. Most Of the cases are near Col-
Inns where the disease appears Ito nave
spread. A total of 459 cases has peen
placed under quarantine, ana seVfrai
of the animals showing symptoms tar-
thest advanced were ordered slain.
Communicated From South.
The disease was communicated 70
the northern herds by a herd pur-
chased at Kansas City and brought 10
q. farm near Collins for feeding. w.
H. Jones, of this city, chairman OF the
board Of supervisors, who owns farm
near Rhodes, has had several of MS
herd exposed by a neighborS cattle,
which broke thru fence into his pas
ture. AS yet none Of Mr.. Jones cat
tie has taken Ill, but he has gone 10
Rhodes to look into the situation.
Disease Very infectious.
The Texas fever is one of the most
infectious and deadly OF diseases to
which cattle are subject. The fever is
q specific one and may be communi-
Gated by apparently healthy cattle liv-
ing within a certain permanently In
fected area, including the greater part
Of the southern United States. The In
fectious principle is conveyed to the
soil, whence susceptible animals are
infected. The period of incubation
varies from ten to fifty days or more,
and the disease begins with high fe-
yer. which may last from few days
to a, week or more, when the animal
usually succumbs. The fever may SUBJ
side, however, and a slow recovery en-
sue. In some outbreaks jaundice is
observed and an examination after
death reveals the spleen enormously
enlarged and softened, the liver yel-
iowisfl in color, and the bile very thick.
The percentage of recoveries is small.

Neglected Principle.

Amazes British Royal Academy
Explanation of the Discovery.

Those present at recent meeting
Of the British Royal Society witnessed
what appeared to be the most as
tonishing toy that they had over
seen, a small self-conthined car and
locomotive combined, running with
out lateral support on a single rail,
rounding curves of small radius and
ascending and depending slopes
without difficulty. II weight were
placed on ono side, the car after a
slight oscillation turned slightly
against the weight, bearing that side
higher than the other. on running
round curve, the car, contrary to
the laws Of nature, leaned inwards
instead OF outwards, resisting tho
natural centrifugal tendency.
Before enlarging on the technical
side of this discovery. let me give q
brief description OF the inventor and
of the more obvious aspects OF his
ear and single line railway, says a
writer in the New York Post. Mr..
Louis Brennan is an Irlsh-Australian
whose self-steering torpedo was
bought by the British Government
some ten years ago for 100000.
His car Is one OF the many monorail
inventions which hitherto have re-
celyed a limited and local support,
but have never obtained commercial
success. The car is not suspended
from the rail, as in the case Of the
Bshr and Lartigen systems, nor ia
It In any way dependent upon lateral
support. All It will need is a per-
manent way with single rails similar
TO those in general use. supported
on sleepers or ties OF half the usual
width. For lis balance II depends
entirely on Its internal mechanism,
and this is at once so secure and so
imprsgnable that observers and test
ers are left astounded.
This result is obtained by the use
OF two horoscopes with horizontal
axes mounted In the car and rotated

Mr.. Brennan's adoption and utili-
ration Of the procession Of the gyro-
scope was as follows. He said to
himselfi "If my gyroscope Ia re-
volvins from left to right, that is,
like q clock, In q horizontal plane.
and q force like gravity tends to pull
II downward on the side towards tho
east. the principal Of tho procession
will cause It to tend to fall towards
the south. How, then, can apply
pressure so as to resist the original
pressure downwards to the eastf
Clearly, I must exert q pressure to
pull II downwards to the west. Now,
there is only one pressure which will
pull II downwards to the west, and
that ia pressure downwards to the
south. / come, then, to this para
dox; whenever see my gyroscope
apparently falling to the south, ]
know 1t is really falling to the east;
II then, I press II downwards to the
south, where II is apparently pull
ing, II will really tend to fall to tho
west-.that is to say It will resist
the fail TO the east and return to the
upright position"
A single gyroscope revolving at
great speed In vertical plane can
be fixed In a locomotive and adapted
In a frame on the principal detailed
above, so as to resist any overturn-
ing tendency likely to be applied.
But II will also strongly resist any
pitching tendency. In other words,
II will retard progress up and down
hill. and require excessive energy to
produce great speed. Similarly,
gyroscope fixed In q vertical plane
parallel with the line OF progression
Of the locomotive will resist the
tendency, but also make
tho turning Of corners impossible,
except at slow speed. Mr.. Brennan,

COLD STORAGE OF FRUITS.

Requires Long Experience to Attain
Best Results.
Every year we arc learning some
thing about cold storage as applied
to the preservation Of perishable
fruits. As we have said before
peach are about as perishable as any
fruit unless II is raspberries and
strawberries and yet they can be
held In cold storage for several
weeks so that they will come out In
prime condition and will sell for
fancy prices but as with other soft
fruits they fall down quickly when
once taken out. Bartlett and other
similar pears have been successfully
kept in cold storage until the sea-
son had long passed for those vari-
eties, when they were sold at good
profit. The managers of cold stor-
ngehouses have become SO far ex-
periencod In handling various kinds
Of fruit that they have learned what
varieties carry over best, what con-
dition they lnust he In when placed
in cold storage, how long to keep
them there, the degree of tempera-
ture aud many other particulars. In
experienced men have difficulty In
these fruits under similar
even In model cold
storage houses. Fruit growers who
have smaller cold storage with In
ferior facilities can not hope to meet
with anything like the success se-
cured by the larger, establishments

A Handkerchief Case.

To make a handkerchief case cut from a
paper box four squares. four inches long
and four inches wide, and from wadding or
absorbent cotton squares of the same size.
Lay these on the pasteboard squares Cut
from a piece of natural colored linen four
squares. five and one-half inches long and
the same width. With these cover the side
of the cardboard on which the cotton is
laid The edges of the linen lap over on
the under side, and to hold them securely
in position connect the two opposite edges
with long threads, drawn tightly across tho
cardboard, thus pulling the linen smoothly
and firmly over the cotton and card on tho
top. Put the wrong sides of two of these
squares together and overseam the edges
Do the same with the other two squares
When finished this gives two squares pad
ded and covered with the linen Oh each
side. Put them together. and with white
silk hat elastic make band just large
enough to slip over them. When you have
sewed the ends of the rubber together To
make the band, fashion out a rosette OF
baby ribbon, either pink or blue, to hold
them in place. The elastic band Is meant
to slip on and off at will. and is nowhere
attached to the linen square. When hand
kerchiefs are placed between the squares
the rubber holds them and the squares Sc

dainty for the dressing tap.e. At the same
time they will be found great convenience
when travelling. The one just described will
be very serviceable. but pretty figured rib

colored or white China silk to cover the
sides of the squares is effective If put next
to the handkerchiefs. A quarter of yard
of linen will cost cents, the same guam
tity of China silk Is cents. A yard of baby
ribbon costs 3 cents and a quarter OF a
yard of elastic cents, making total cost
of % cents The silk and linen will be suf-
fcent to make two cases and the additional!

A Renovating Hint.

The business of refining coat, which is
SO often necessary at this time of the year,
can be very simply achieved in the follow
ing manner: First remove half the old
lining to use as pattern by which to cut
out the new one, leaving the other half
stitched to the coat to act as guide.
The next process is to unpick the piece
of lining which has been detached Lay ii
fiat OH the new material and cut round the
pattern, leaving enough for turnings. Sew
up the seams, leaving the arm seam oper.
Lay the new lining over one side of the
coat and haste it into position, unpieking
the remaining half by degrees and basting
the new In its place, says Woman's Life
The bottom, front and neck must now
be neatly hcmmed and the armholes and
under-arm seams sewed UP. Any material
which Is over should be gathered or neat
ly pleated into these two seams. Lastly,
the Innings Of the sleeves must be sewn up
and stitched in.
