To.cLIMB THE ALPS WITH BOATS

M Italian engineer named Signor
Caminada proposes to connect Genoa
with Lake Constance and float barges
over the Apennines and the Alps by

impracticable brains. And yet Europe
is impressed and the scheme has 81
the support OF the famous engineer
Senator Columbo, president of the
Polytechnic Of Lomhardy
Senior Caminada's scheme is to con-
struet what might be called a water
ladder ver the mountains, with a
long series of loexs AID canals. The
canal is composed of two parallel tubes
or channels. one of which is for bargSs
running down the mountain and the
other for the barges climbing over. In
the locks the barges are raised and
advanced by the power of the incoming
water, the vessels being kept straight
~ two sheaves running on rails be-
low and above. When the canal has to
pass through a mountain it runs in two
channels. incluined in opposite dirce
tions The key to the scheme is the
fact that the water runs in both di-
rections. but crosses from one to this
other alternately; SO that wher 2 barge
descends witha cargo on one side ano-
Their barge is rising with the same
power in the other tube. Further water
from the main reservoir carries the
ascending barge to the top. and the
descending boat enters the next tabu-
lar section. The canals will be con
structed of masonry and will be closed
with iron gates. The cost Of such 4
scheme is estimated at $500, 000,000.

sPnAkING orr.

The Muskogee Times Democrat is not awed or impressed by the Big Man
 of the White House, and has no hesi-
 tation about expressing it's opinion. Ii alludes to the statement that Roose- I welt is preparing to push prosecutions a9ainst Governor Haskell, of okla homa, for alleged frauds. It notes that he is said to have offered the po- sition of special prosecuting attorney to several lawyers. but all of them have declined to enter on what our contemporary calls "a dirty piece of business" Then 1t adds:
 If President Roosevelt was honest in his belief that grave fraud had been committed, and he's not, he would first attend to his own household. If Has kell is guilty of wrong doing now % District Court Clerk R. F. Harrison, a Federal official? No one hears any thing about Teddy's purpose to prese- 0N AS 1 a matter of fact. the President, who has long since lost the respect Of the American people, will fume and fuss q little longer and then flicker
 Now, how does The Times-Democra; hope to justify itself in the eyes of Roosevelt for virtually calling him dishonestP May it not reasonably ex- pect a Illumination or an explosion, or something of the kind, and be told that 1t is-well, a dodger of the truth? And yet it is possible that the Presi- dent will for once at least obey the dictates of prudence and not, as he has done on more than one occasion, deny charges which he knows to be true. We do not feel called on to become the champion or defender of Governor Haskell, for he has friends nearer at hand who can speak for him. but when we call to mind the. aeonduct of the present administration in connec- ton with the affairs of Oklahoma and Indian Territory We feel fully author ized to say that it III becomes Roose- welt to charge fraud against Haskell. He will do well to disinfect the official garments of himself and some of his favorites before prescribing the wash pot for others. Besides, he Is now so fully enveloped in the stench proceed ing from the dirty canal business that he is likely to be kept busy at home for a while.

ABOUT UPLIFTING.

That good old contemporary, The New Haven Register, thinks the up- lifting business is in danger of stop ping too soon. and makes these sug- gestions:
 The farmers aren't sure they need to he uplifted, but there are others, and some of them are willing. Perhaps It is the similarity of his name to that ident Joe Rosenberg, of Brooklyn Bridge, and the Downtown Newsboys' Club to go into the uplifting business. He does not appoint eommissi6n 11 as tSn td put cities" to help him in the work Of improving the condition of the news boy. There are various ways,
 First, address them in correct Ian guage When you would inquire about their wares don't address them with "gotter paper?' but say. have you the PsaTe bavd Then f right Tl bere aeS TMo SR s%Gr sents. please" esi nav Second a treat them courteously. Don't drop a coin and snatch a paper as if the boy were a we'll. but ask gently and receive gent ly, and go on your way with courtly
 TO be sure. the newsboy has his part. For one thing. he must stop ! yelling fake news. such as "Rockefel- Ter Dead Broke" or Bryan to Quit Running" Properly educated he might be able to give the prospective customer a synopsis of the news, SO that he would know whether or not 1t would be worth while to purchase a paper. Other improvements are easily possIble. and would follow right along in the natural course of the uplift
 Here is a reform and progress for which there's a loud call. The boys need to be uplifted, and no false pride keeps them from admitting it, Presl- dent Rosenberg inaugurates great work, and many will there be to bless him if he proves to be not weary in well doing, and his appeal meets with a ready reciprocation.
 We opine that Uplifter Roosevelt would think that the h'isting of news boys up to a higher plane would be much too small business for him to tackle. We admit that the work out lined by The Register is one of no lit tie importance. and one which might very well enlist the best efforts of a man of much more importance and ca pacity than the manager of the up- lifting derrick. but he don't want the job. Besides he has Congress, Can non and crum on his hands now and may be called down from his high horse if he puts on too many airs. All the same. The Register Is on a good trail.

porsN,r LIKE m.

Mir. Tafts appeal for the breaking up of the solid South, politically. is not very favorably received by The coium- bia State. "The solid South" says that contemporary, troubles Mir. Taft. It has troubled other partisan leaders. and it will. we trust continue to trou- ble the chiefs of the party that delib- erately ruined this section out of sheer wantonness of revenge, and now seeks to destroy it's political integrity, in order that 1t may rest in undisl turbed possession of the public treas ury and the power of enriching itself through taxation and public prunder" ["
 We have more than once offered the suggestion that those Northern States men who are so continually contend ing for breakup of the south's De- mocracy would be much more consist ent If they would spend some time and breath in the effort to break up the solid North. If the South is to be blamed for solidarity the North is much more blamable. for our section has had ample reason for It's condition, justified by that we'll known axiom that "seif-preservation is the first law of nature The result of the late elec- tion shows that the North is really more thoroughly solid than the South Is. Good deeds should sometimes be- gin at home.

This h My 65th Birthday
Dr. Robert Koch.

Dr Robert Koch. the world-renown- ed discoverer of the bacillus of tuber- culosls. was born in Klausthal. Han- over, December II. 1s43. and was edu- cated at the celebrated university at Gottingen. Almost as soon as he had received. his degree of M. D. he began the study of germs, and about 1880 he succeeded in identifying the germ of cattle diseases and of consumption. His remarkable discoveries led to his being placed at the head of the Ger man Cholera Commission. which visit ed Egypt and India. and while on this investigation he discovered the coma bacillus of cholera, receiving a reward of 100000 marks from the government. Further researches in bacteriology es- tablished hts reputation as the leader in this branch of medicine. and led to his appointment as professor of hy- giene at the University of Berlin. in 1891 he was ,honored with the appoint ment of honorary professor and direct or of the New Institute for Infectious Diseases. During the past summer pr. Koch visited America and was one of the foremost participants In the In- ternational Congress on Tuberculosis held in Washington.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER II. 1908.

Wonder of wondersl Even the New York Globe fails to defend Roosevelt. and when The Globe holds its nose at anything he says or does we may know that the case Is bad one. ''rhe perusal." 1t says in beginning an edi- torIak "of the Presidents letter con corning Delavan Smith and the Pan- anna Canal purchase was enough to es- tablish conviction that 1t was injudi- cious and undignified in tone. It now appears that in some details 1t was in- accurate. Naturally there is disposi- ton to dwell on those slips concerning facts, and thus to discredit the entire disclaimer" The Globe had better watch out; the Ananias Club is still open.

The old Dutehman when asked why he was putting another story on his dwelling. replied: Because der ground is cheap up dere." and that seems to be the prevailing idea in New York, where the building of sky-scrapers is becoming somewhat a fad. There is a project now in contemplation where the builder proposes to go both ways, for he is going to have sky-scraper above ground and six stories beneath the surface Plainly he wants to take adzantage of the cheapness of the -Iugels of the earth as well as of the upper air. Some day it is to be feared that the tendency towards very tall buildings may result in a horrible ca tastrophe.

Tn one of our exchanges we find a headline reading. Congress Hears Message" but we don't believe it. They wouldn't, not many of them. And that reminds us of a story told of one of our Presidents who sent a member of his household to obtain a good position to hear his first message read and note the effect 1t had on the members. When the young man re- turned the President eagerly asked how the message was received. and was told that everybody must have been satisfied with it. But why do you say so%' inquired the President Because there didn't anybody listen to the reading" was the reply. Was 1t SO this time?

seaweed and Catgut BarOmeters.


 There are many devices by means of which changes in the moistnesa of the air may be shown, some of them exceedingly easy to arrange Per haps the simplest form of all. known ! to every housewife in the coast towns, Is the suspended piece of Jseaweed. Any kind answers the purpose ad. mirably. 4 small bunch tied stogether and hung up on q wall shows the exs 'cessive humidity in the atmosphere. which often procedes rain by becom lng damp and fiabby A very Ingenious contrivance is the old-fashioned 7 weather house" largely made in Switzerland. It Is arranged in such a way that two figures act in response to the tfisting of a piece of catgAat. The material, supported by a wire, controls the movement of a little plat form on either end of which isu placed a model. Excessive moisture in the air causes the catgut to twist and turn the platform around. so that the man emerges from one of the doors in the front of the house. Reverse conditions of the atmosphere bring about the contraction of the catgut, and the platform swings back, thus bringing the figure of the woman into prominence at her particular door, The making of . weather house is a quite an easy matter.

Not Like the old ,KuKIux.

Atlanta Georgian and News.
 We agree with the New Orleans Times. Democrat that the night-ridInK movement in the South bears no analogous relationship to the Ku-Klux movement to re-establish white supre- macy Sn this section during the days of re construction. The purpose of the old Ku Klux movement was to bring an end to the riegn of terror inaugurated by military satraps and carpetbag rulers. It was to counteraet the poisonous virus which was being infected into the minds of the negroes and to restore to the AnRlo-Saxop race the right of dominat tion, IL was not for the overthrow, but for the en- forcement of law and order. In the ranks of the old Ku-Klux organization were some of the foremost leaders of the South-statesmen whose names were lllustrious in the forum. soldiers whose valor was conspicuous on tha field of battle. Moreover, the Ku-Kiux organization was not given to rapins and mured. No such plea of justifi- cation can be urged to favor of the nfght-rlding movement. which is sub- verslVe of all the, neds of justice, which has converted the rural districts into scenes of bloody violence, and which the farmers themselves in caustIc terms have most seathingly denounced

Great Hawnli Pineapple Crop. 


 Hawaiian reports indicate a record pineapple crop for 1908. Conservative estimates place the shipments chiefly at more than 100000 cases of sliced and grated Hawaiian pineapple, or about s600,000 cans. Six years ago. at the development of the pineapple growing and packing industry of Hawaii. the output was barely 5000 cases
 Importers jobbers. and retailers re- port a steady. rapid growth in demand The prediction in the local market is that all that part of the pack which in this country. Little of the Hawaiian n pineapple crop goes in export, because, wh ile there Is a market abroad. the present production is not more than adequate to supply the American de- mand. The industry, however is growing rapidly. and where in 1901 there were only forty acres in kawaii under pineapple cultivation. there are now more than 6.bO04

 To begin with. how is 1t possible for any one to know. even approximately, how much coal is yet fin the earth or in any region of the earth? Even the superficial area of the coal fields can not be ascertained with anything like accuracy. and when 1t comes to cal culating the depth of all the mines it plainly cannot be done. or even fairly guessed at. And so. if the estimate of pr. White is correct the former es- inmates were badly over the mark, but can We feel any confidence in either?
