Expects RrYan's Nomination

Colonel Henry Watterson had a
talk with William ]. Bryan in New
York Monday.
Colonel Watterson said later that
there was nothing in his converse
ton with Mr.. Bryan that he cared to
make public. Personally, I have
no doubt that Mr.. Bryan will be
nominated at Denver" said the colo
mel, "and think that we have good
chance to elect him The movement
in the interests of Governor johnson
comes too late and from the wrong
quarter"
Discussing the republican situa-
ton, Colonel Watterson said that
Taft would be nominated. Concern
ing President Roosevelt he said: Il
left Washington a few weeks ago
convinced that the president will not
accept the denomination. / would
say that the republicans are just as
badly off as we are. We are both
trading our eggs and some of the
eggs are bad"

The Fate of the old-line Farmer.

The agricultural colleges are
reaching fifty thousand homes year;
the federal lecture courses, million
people year. What will the effect
be in generation or two? 1t is
disappointing to have to record that
the old-time farmers are remaining
practically untouched by the new
movement but the new genei alton
and the new west are quickly adopt
ing scientific methods. One of the
richest men in the west today is
putting his daughter through the
full four-year agricultural course
that she may be able to manage the
estate that will fall into her hands;
and a foremost physician Of Chicago,
who has just bought a seventy-fve-
thousand-acre farm in Mexico, is
having his boy take not only the
four-year university course, but a
two-yedls' post graduate as well.
What will happen to the old-line
farmer, who refuses to take up the
new methods, will be just what has
already befallen the old-line mechan-
ic who refused to adopt scientific
machinery. With the handicap of
mortgaged farm and his own ignor-
ance, he will simply drop out of the
procession and become successful
hired man.-From "The New Spirit
of the Farm,%by Agnes c. Laut, in
The Outing Magazine for April.

WASI1INGT PIE
A Difference of Opinion as to What
Really Constitutes It.

Almost every one has heard of
Washington pie, but there seems to
be no agreement of opinion as to
what member of the pie family
rig htly bears the name of the Father
of His Country, says the New York
Sun.
"Washington pie'" says the man
from Way Down East, which is
beyond Boston, repeating your ques-
ton. "Why, sure, l know it.
There are three layers of spongy
cake, with two layers of Jelly or
strawberry preserves in between and
white frosting on the top. It's bully,
too, and 1 wish could get it here"
"But that's not Washington pie"
interrupts the woman from the v est,
THAT'S simply layer cake. Wash
ington pie, though, is something
like cake. But there is only two
layers Of cake, and in between is a
creamy filling made OF. eggs and
milk and sugar and little flavoring.
And you put powdered sugar on
the top"
"That's Boston cream pie" chorus
two persons from Boston itself, who
speak with the assurance that be-
trays their habitat. "And what's
more, we never heard of Washing
ton pie. Do you think it fitting to
name pie after an important his
torical figure"
"I've been making Washington
pie for years." interposes mildly
woman who lives in Brooklyn and
isn't ashamed of it, sand my Wash
ington pie is pie and not a cake.
| grind apples into pulp and mix
the pulp with sherry and use that
as a filling for an ordinary open face

much like pumpkin pie, and it's the

Two BattIeships.

The Rutland News is for four bat
tleships and war. Exposed as we
are" it says, for thousands of miles
ON both sides, separated by journey
around the Horn, we can not have
too much naval strength" The de-
fenceless condition of Rutland and
its various water approaches, not to
speak of the unprotected coasts of
the United States, doesn't appeal to
Chairman Tawney of the House Com
mittee on appropriations, who said
in speech the other day that on ac-
count of preparation for war the
United States, with an army of 81
600 men and a navy of $4,000 men,
is expending this year only $685.
473,701 18 less than England, with
an army of 204, 300 men and navy
of 10000 men.
"There is no policy of our govern
ment," he said, "either foreign or
domestic, to enforce which the size
Of either is the first or only essen
tial." The country, he said, had
eighty millions of patriotic people,
and ut is in these that the strength
of our nation exists, and not in our
permanent naval establishment"
AS Eugene Hale of Maine points
out, about three-fourths of the whole
national income goes for wars, past
and prospective, and the defeat of
Roosevelt's four-battleship scheme
indicates a general desire for re-
trenchment.

Alarmed by Crack in Earth's Sur
face.

Residents of Randolph and vicinity
are said to be alarmed at crack
which has appeared in the surface
of the earth in that town.
The assure has been growing since
March II, when it appearc' at a
small culvert under the road leading
from High street north to East
Braintree. The culvert is not far
from the house of Frank Griswoid,
who first noticed that the roadway
was settling at that point.
The culvert slumped suddenly into
gully which appeared under it.
A small roadside drain or "wash,"
sometimes, in wet weather, a brook,
had been carried under the road by
the culvert. This tiny watercourse
was not responsible tor undermining
the culvert, Mr.. Griswold was sure,
for there had been very little water
flowing. Road Commissioner D.
Fl. Morse has been trying to do
something ever since, but the crack
in the earth which started at the
culvert has been increasing in size
so steadily that about all he can do
is to keep people from falling into it
by fencing it off. The fissure is now
about IS feet wide at the road and
nearly a quarter of mile long,
following dip in the land TO a
stream, a tributary of the White
river.
The stream has stopped its course
in that direction, but it is now start
ing to climb a hill beyond the road.
One OF the shade trees, 80 feet tall.
that stood in its course beside the
road is now at the bottom of the gap,
and its top Just shows on level with
the roadway.
Traffic has been carried around
the gulch by temporary road, but
the steady movement of the fissure
makes it probable that this tempo
rary road must soon be abandoned.
Mr.. Griswold has gone to the
bottom OF it and believes that the
crack is caused by an underlying
stratum of quicksand, which has
been set in motion by water. The
top soil is common loan, but sand
covers the bottom of the gap, and
the subterranean stream is under this
sand.

What is a Candle Power.

Pretty much everyone thinks he
knows what candle power is-the
light given by a single candle, Of
course. AS a matter Of fact candles
differ as much in luminosity as light
houses, oil lamps, or firehies, and a
candle power is not one thing but
half a dozen, according to the coun-
try where the phrase is drawn. In
Great Britain and the United States
the standard light unit is the amount
given by "spermaceti candle, burn
ing up at the rate of 100 grains an
hour, with flame forty FIVE milli--
meters high" etc. In France the
standard candle is made of stearine,
and Germany's candle was, until a
few years ago, par9ffin. Now the
latter country uses the so-called Hef-
ner unit of light, the amount given
by certain form of lamp burning
acetate Of amyl. Another lamp
standard, called the carceI, was used
in France. In-this purified rape
seed oil is burned. Because of this
unsatisfactory international chaos, it
is now proposed that our bureau Of
standards at Washington take steps
to establish a standard international
candle, which would be acceptable
to at least nine countries. The joint
committee OF gas and electrical en-
gineers which is urging this stand
ardization declares that the change
could be made with very little dis
turbance of most of the national
standards now in existence.
