DEVICE TO FREE SEA OF FOG.
Inventor Hopes to Dispel Mists For
 Three Miles on All Sides.


 Senator George c. Perkins of Cali fornia has brought to the attention of the navy department at Washington . new fog dispelling device invented by one of his constituents. He requests that the department arrange to give the device thorough test on Goat island, San Francisco bay.
 If the hopes of the inventor are real ized, the device will dispel fog at a radius of three miles in all directions by means of carbide generator. The details of the invention are kept se- cret, but 1t Is divulged that the only noise connected with the device Is a muffled blast at intervals. The device with some modification, may also prove adaptable aboard ship, as the ex- plosions are so muffled as to be scarce ly perceptlble.
 The carbide generator by means of q chemical process forms gases which explode upon coming in contact with the air. These explosions, 1t Is said. continue with decreasing force for a considerable distance from the appara- tus. How this condition is brought about is not explained by the inventor. his desire being to keep all details se- cret until the government has taken over his proposition.
 Members of the lighthouse board said that the invention might prove of great importance to shipping interests throughout the world. Special officers will be assigned to watch the tests at Goat island in case Secretary Metcalf permits flo '-es''..-' ''' tho device.

 q didn't forget monseigneur," she answered.
 He looked round him again, shrug- ged his shoulders and seemed to think for a moment There was an absolute stiffness, a contrast to the preceding turmoil. But the silence made uncom- fortable men whom the fight had not shaken. Their eyes were set on Staf- nitz.
 "The prince died in fair fight" he said.
 No. You sent Mistiteh to murder him." Sophy replied. Her eyes were relentless, and Stafnitz was ringed round with enemies.
 "I apologize for this embarrassment. I really ought to have been killed. It's just mistake" he said, with a smile. He turned quickly to Dunstanbury: "Yoa seem to te gentleman, sir. Pray come with me. I need wit ness" He pointed with his unwounded hand to the barn.
 Dunstanbury bowed assent. The colonel in his turn bowed to Sophy, and the two of them turned and walk ed of toward the barn. Sophy stood motionless, watching them until they turned the corner; then she fell on her knees and began to talk soothingly to Peter vassip, who was hard hit, but, in Basil Williamson's opinion, promised to do well. Sophy was talking to the poor fellow when the sound of a revolver shot-a single shot-came from the barn. Colonel Stafnitz had corrected the mistake. Sophy did not raise her head. A moment later Dunstanbury came back and rejoined them. He ex. changed a look with Sophy, inclining his head as a man does in answering "Yes." Then she rose.
 "Now for the barges and the guns. ' she said.
 They could not carry the guns back to Volseni, nor. indeed. was there any

 CTS collect their wounded and dead, place them on a wagon and set out on their march to Slavna. Then his men placed their dead on horses. They had lost three. Five were wounded besides Pe' ter Vassip, but none of them severely; all could ride. For Peter they took a cart from the farm to convey him as far as the ascent to the hills. Up that he would have to be carried by his comrades.
 It was noon before all their work was done. The barges were settling in the water. As they started to ride back to volseni the first sank. The second was soon to follow 1t.
 "We have done our work" said Luko- witch.
 And Sophy answered, Yes"
 But Stafnitz's men had not carried the body of their commander back. They left 1t in the barn, cursing him for the trap he had led them into. Later in the day the panic stricken lock keeper stole out from the cellar where he had hidden himself and found it in the barn. He and his wife lifted 1t with cursings. bore it to the river and flung 1t in. It was carried over the weir and fioated down to Slavna. They fished it out with boat hook just opposite Suleirnan's tower The hint to Captain Sterkof was a broad one. He reported a vacancy in the command and sent the keys of the fort to General Stenovics. It was Sun day morning.
 The colonel has got back just when he said he would. But where are the gunsl" asked General Stenovics of Captain Marksrt. The captain had by now made up his mind which turn to take.
 But no power ensued to Stenovics At the best hls fate was a soft fall-a fall on to a cushioned shelf. The cup of Kravonla's lniquity, full with the princes murder. brimmed over with the punishment of the man who had caused it. The fight by the lock Of Miklevni sealed Kravonia's fate. Civi- lizsticn must be vindicated! Long col umns of fat capped soldiers begin to wind like q great snake over the sum init Of S.. Peters pass. Sophy watched them through e telescope from the old wall of volsenL

 He was right. When they came to the door of the church she was there. For the first time since monseigneur had died her eyes were red with weep ing, but her face was calm. She gave her hand to Dunstanbury.
 Come, let us mount" she said. "I have said goodby."
 Lukovitch knew Dunstanbury's plans. He was waiting for them at the gate, his arm in sling, and with him were the Zerkovitches. These last they would see again. It was probably fare well forever to gallant Lukovitch. He kissed the silver ring on Sophy's fin ger.
 T brought nothing into Krayonia," she said, ''and I carry nothing out ex- cept this ring which monseigneur put on my flnger-the ring of the bailiffs of Volseni."
 Keep it." said Lukovitch. q think there will be no more bailiffs of Vol seni or some prince not of our choos- ing will take the title by his own will. He will not be our bailiff, as mon- seigneur was. You will be our bailiff, though our eyes never see you, and you never see our old gray walls again. Madame, have kindly place in your heart for Volseni. We shan't forget you nor the blow we struck under your leadership. The fight at Miklevni may well be the last that we shall fight IS free men,"
 'Volseni is written on my heart," she answered. T shall not forget"
 She bade her friends farewell and then ordered Lukovitch to throw open

 If felt the doubt that you do, I shouldn't be calm,' said Dunstanbury. But know her She will be true to her love-

 r'Peace be on this place." she said, ''and peace to the tomb where mon- selgneur lies buried" ...
 Peace be on thy head and fortune with thee" answered Lukovitch In the traditional words of farewell. He kissed her hand again, and they de- parted.
 It was high morning when they rode up the ascent to St. Peters pass and came to the spot where their cross track joined the main road over the pass from Dobrava and the capital. In silence they mounted to the summit The road under their horses feet was trampled with the march of thousands of men who had passed over 1t in an irresistible advance on Slavna. At the summit of the pass they stopped, and Sophy turned to look back. She sat there for long while in silence.
 q have loved this land," at last she said. Tt has given me much. and very much 1t has taken away. Now the face of it is to be changed. But in my heart the memory of 1t will not change" She looked across the valley. across the sparkling face of Lake Taltl. to the gray walls of volseni and kissed her hand. Farewell. monseigneur" she whispered very low.
 The day of Kravonia was done. The head of the great snake had reached Slavna. Countess Ellenburg and young Alexis were in flight. Stenoyics took orders where he had looked to rule. The death of monseigneur was indeed avenged. But there was no place for Sophy, the queen of a tempestuous hour.

WORLD CORN SHOW
OPENED AT OMAHA

OMAHA, Neb., Dee. 9.-With 200,-
900 square feet of space devoted to
the display of corn, grain, grasses, ag-
ricutural implements and machinery.
National Corn show was opened here
today. Nearly 100000 ears of prize
corn are on exhibition and form the
feature of the great show, although
other products have been given much
space. The exposition serves as
clearing house for the best grains and
grasses from score of states.
Statistics as to corn culture show
that the Mississippi valley is the GEN.
ter of the corn industry, more of the
grain being raised in this compara-
lively restricted district than in all
Of the rest of the world.
Illustrating the value Of the corn
crop, figures are presened to show
that it would only take eight crops
like that grown this year to duplicate
every mile of steam railroad in the
United States, and then there would
be enough left to buy all the terminals
and the rolling stock.

the forests Of the northern states is
the object of the Lake States forestry
commission, which commenced its
second anual meeting in Madison to-
day.

gan and Minnesota, but this year the
states Of Indiana, Pennsylvania, New
York, Illinois and Ontario, Canada,

dicted for attempting to bribe a pros
pective juror to vote for the acquittal
of Ruef. E. A. Blake. a former con-
tractor, who testified that he was the
agent of Murphy and Newburgh. was
tried and convicted, having confessed
his share in the plot to the district
attorney. Following the custom of for
mer trials not single witness was
placed on the stand by the defense.
AT the time when public interest was
waning. Morris Haas, a rejected pros
pective juror, attempted to assassinate
Special District Attorney Heney, and
then committed suicide. A week ago
Chief of Police Biggy was lost over

weekly to be converted into food for
the public.
The commissioners special agent ha G
collected evidence to show that decay-
ing eggs, known to the trade as
spots" and riots" are used in making
pies and cakes of all kinds, in icing
that is put upon fancy cakes and me-
rlngues and in coating bread to make
II glossy. Cheap ice cream and ice
cream cones, the so-called cream that
goes into cream puffs and eclairs are
also made with the decayed mater
ial.
A coterie of dealers, most of whom
live in South Philadelphia, are the
mldd.emen of the nauseating and
health-wrecking transactions. These
men buy eggs that are rejected by the
commission stores, and the companies
that run chains of retail stores. In
turn, the coterie sells to bakeshops and
to some restaurants.
The stuff, with the poison of puare-
faction unchanged by the cooking. is
then made into the products enumer-
ated and placed for sale in bakeries,
grocery stores and other places.
But the eggs in the shell make only
small portion Of the business. The
bulk of the decayed output is sold
soon after they have been opened, in
great pals to the bakeries There is a
daily delivery to these establishments
of 800 pound cans, and invariably it
is before o'clock in the morning.

ality occurred because of discrimina-
tion
After judgment had been rendered
by Judge Brents, another ordinance
was drawn up, but before it was in
troduced defect similar to that in the
original law, was found, and the city
attorney drew up one after that used
in the larger cities of the west, and
which had been sustained by the SUI
preme court. A fee of $25 a day is
required, and the penalty for violation
is set in sum not exceeding 500.
Although the roll call showed all
members present in favor Of the new
law, there was much preliminary dis
cussion relative to the fee that should
be charged people selling goods and
merchandise at forced auction sale.
Councilman Bachtold suggested $25, at
which Councilmen Stack and Cum
mings held up their hands in horror,
believing that to be exorbitant and
prohibitive. Cummings favored IS a

Chief Of Police Mike Davis said that
$40 a day would not keep the tran
sients out and thus protect Walla
Walla merchants, other members Of
the council fell in line with BactOld,
and the $25 mark was unanimously
agreed upon. The ordinance was signed
