The Automobile Gas Producer Syndi-
cate of Glasgow has developed a motor
for automobiles which it is claimed will
supersede all other methods of propul-
sion. The gas producer is placed imme-
diately behind the engine and between
it and the dashboard. Its CRATE area is
about II square inches. The hopper has
capacity for some $40 pounds of fuel,
while the fire is started with three
pounds of charcoal. Within five min
utes of lighting the fire the car can be
set in motion, and from that time for
ward no further attention is necessary.
Anthracite pea coal is the fuel used.
During the past year very severe tests
have been made of the engine, and it
has met them successfully. On re-
cent run of 40 miles at from 10 to II
miles per hour 145 pounds of fuel were
used to propel vehicle weighing with
the passengers four and nine-tenths
tons. This represented a cost of about
twelve-tenths of a cent per mile, or
about "a cents for the 40-miie journey.

NOT LOOKING FOR OPTION
No Negotiations by New Haven Road
 for o. & w. Property.

In official circles of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company it is stated that there have
 been on negotiations for a long time
 on the part of the New York Central
 company in regard to exercising it's option on the purchase of the On-
 tario and Western railroad property. The option was conceded last May to the New York Central company in consideration of its withdrawal of op-
 position to the Boston and Maine's
 merger with the New Haven It was renewed later, and now holds until
 the merger matter is definitely settled
 The option was given at $45 a shore,
 with some interest added, ond 291, 500 shares of Ontario and Western stock, which cost the New Haven $13,105,- 1855. If the option Is exercises now | the price to the New York Central will be nearly s4,000000 more than that represented by the present low
 CT market price of the stock, and it
 Is not believed In railroad circles here
 that the option will ever be exercised.

Louis Exposition and the methods OF
instruction in schools of technology and
in manual training and trade schools
directed the chief serious criticism of
their report against the faulty and in
adequate courses of instruction in
drawing, both free-hand and mechani
cal. Idaho University has attempted
to render this objection impossible in
her case.
From the above review of the work
done and the training offered at the
University it will be seen that a young
man or woman must be in search of
very exceptional line of education if it
is not among those provided for her
children by the state of Idaho. The
short notices of the equipment too will
show that the University is possessed
of the apparatus needed in giving a
thoroughly up to date training, at a
time when educational standards de-
mand that every school shall have an
amount of apparatus not found in the
most complete laboratories twenty
years ago. Look through the list OF
the faculty and it is seen at once that
these men have not only been trained
in the foremost universities of America
and Europe, but they have also been
on the staff of instructors in the same
frst-rank universities before coming to
their present positions. In filling the
professorships now vacant the most rig
id investigation has been made in the
case of all applicants and only men
of the highest ability will be chosen to
the positions.
Careful and continual adherence to
these highest educational standards has
born its natural and very gratifying
fruit in the reputation held by the Uni
versity of Idaho among the colleges
and universities of America. The Trus-
tees of the Carnegie Fund for the Adj
vancement of Teaching rate Idaho in
the highest class, only thirteen other
universities sharing the same high rank,
and many older institutions and far
larger institutions receive lower
rating.
All this demonstrates the fact that
to obtain real education of the highest
type no Idaho young person needs to
leave the boundaries of his state. To
obtain the best training for winning out
in life's great contest his own Univer-
sity offers opportunities equal to those

shall be mistress of the science of serv-

Mrs. Haner comes from long term of

ical drawing. Both are demanded in

today. A few years since German ex-

These always command larger audi
enees than do the performances of pro-

The head of the Department of Biol
ogy is Professor Aldrich, who is known
outside of the University and beyond
the borders of Idaho as the author of
the latest and authoritative work on
diptera, or two winged flies, recently
published by the National Smithsonian
Institute.
