cORNsTALK PAPER.

From time to time as newspaper readers know, the announcement goes forth that some new substance for the manufacture of white paper has been tried with success. Various sub stances have been tried. and for va- rious reasons they have proven fafl- ures. Especially is it desirable to find something to take the place of wood pulp in paper making, for the almost general ase of that material for the manufacture of all but the finest grades of paper Is causing forest de- struction at a rate that is positively alarming. The possibility of making good print paper of cornstalks, and making it cheaply and in almost un- limited quantities is now claimed by some of the chemists of the Agricult- ura1 Department at Washington, and The Brooklyn Eagle thus refers to it:
 These young men have succeeded in making five grades of paper from the bulky and heretofore almost useless cornstalk, and they say that the white grade, made from the outer covering of the stalk, seems to offer a very sat- isfacrory substitute for the wood pulp paper in general use. If further Ax- periments confirm the hopes of those officials, their discovery -7ill be well comed eagerl. not m>rely by the pub fishers of newspapers. but by the pulp lie. The destruction of forests has gone so ia in this country that the President called his conservation con- gress to devise lfeans to put an eno to it. The chief agency in this de- struction is the pulp mill because that utilizes soft wood and immature tim Der which might escape the ravages of the lumber men.
 If another source Of paper can De found the checking of forest destrnc- ton will be made very much easier. Also the turning cornstalks into pulp would utilize a product which now goes to waste. Great quantities of stalks are burned in the corn belt year. ly solely for the sake f getting rid of them. If the farmers could market their corn as at present and then sell their stalks profitably to the pulp mills, a considerable stimulus would be giv- en to the growth of corn in the South and West. The checking of forest de- struction would, however. be a moro far-reaehing benefit than the added prosperity of the farmers, desirable as that may be.

only do the male members of the fam fly make more noise than there is any need of. but all of them can be pests when they choose. They wander about the neighborhood and scratch up gardens and hower-beds under the pretense of looking for insects. and otherwise cause no little discomfort and worry. Whether the authorities can teach them to be good is doubtful. and they have evidently taken pre- liminary steps looking to the outlaw ing of the whole tribe. Good chick ems and bad ones are to fare the same way, and in future the man who wants to listen at the growing of roosters and cackling of hens will be forced to take to the woods.

The Alabama

The battleship Alabama, which dropped anchor in New York harbor last Monday. the first of the fleet which left Hampton Roads December l6 to complete the voyage around the globe. is one of the notable ships of the American navy. Though denied the opportunity of fighting for the coun- try. the Alabama Jhas always taken prominent part in the peace maneu- Vers. and has been rated IS one of the biggest and best of the fighting vessels The great ship after a long career, as the navy requirements go. is to be lowed to the Brooklyn navy yard and thoroughly overhauled.
 The keel of the Alabama was laid in lS96, the same time that work was begun on the Kearsarge. the coupling of the names suggesting the last bat tie of the Confederate cruiser off the coast of France. The Alabama has displacement of 1,552 tons, speed or seventeen knots and Is 36s feet over all. The cost was S2.65O,0OO. The main armament consists of -Four l3- inch guns, and fourteen 6-Inch guns with a secondary armament of twelve 6-pounders. two 1-pounders and three l-inch rifles, together with the usual complement of smaller guns. fea- ture is the thickness of her side ar nor, sixteen and one-half inches. only three other ships of the American Navy, the Kearsarge, the Kentucky and the Wisconsin being so well protected
 When the fleet sailed from Hampton Roads December 16. 1907. the Alabama was the flagship of the fourth divis- ion. Rear Admiral Sperry in command, Captain Hubbard on the bridge At San Francisco when Admiral Sperry succeeded Admiral Evans in command of the entire fleet, the Alabama was guard which should make the voyage direct. The Alabama therefoce head ed straight for Suez, thence through the Mediterranean and across the At lantic home.

His Southern friends will regret that Judge Luke E. Wright has seen fit to take the stump for Taft. He is a warm personal friend of the Republican can didate and 1t has been generally un- derstood that he would vote for him. He has a right to his personal and po- liticaI opinions and to change them when he sees fit. It will be upon the ground that he is held up as Demo- crat supporting Taft that the principal opposition to his course will be based. He is holding high office under a Re- publican administration. which is bending all its powers to secure Taft's election. Another former Democrat, Hon. oscar Straus. Is a member of the Presidents cabinet, and is speak ing for the Republican ticket. He does not pretend to speak any longer as Democrat, but as a Republican No man can more fully endorse the Repub- lican platform than did Judge Wright in his New York speech. and he Is do- ing himself an injustice when he al lows it to appear In the papers that he is speaking as a Democrat.

Hidden Late one June even shores of Lake Ontario waiting for my steamer to leave her moorings The waters were restless and some what angry es they always are in that city of ontario. Shutdown found me at Lewiston and aboard an electric car that makes it's way up the Great Gorge. Running beneath cliffs, about twenty feet from the waters edge, it furnished me every scenic feature of Niagara, as 1t drifts along with meas ured pride, deep and lucid yet or m mense body---the most stately or tor the sights I beheld The history of Niagara River began with the com mencement of the Great Gorge. The life work of the river continues to be from the Fans to Lewiston. Those who have studied this enchanting re- gIon realize that no other energy save the ehiselling waters through the ages has rent the breast Of Ma ture here. From time to time great boulders are underminded and. plunge into the seething waters. They form one more giant obstruction to lease How could one describe the sensation that creeps over him! What chroni- cles of past ages are niched in those eternal walls? What monuments pr those hoary rocks? Who can divine It's mystic lore? Dumb and silent, one listens to the moaning of old Niagara: What a scene! How indescribabie! Above the Falls, 1t is battle-ohareC of tempestous waves that outlined themselves in fury against the sky. over the Falls. the. plunge Is deliber- ate, vast and fascinating. The wa ters have passed in volumes of glassy green to disappear in the midst and mystery. below, But now the great river is crowded into narrow chasm and appears as a multitude of streams each trying to break away from aWfui moved uninterrupted only to leap madly into the air. Countless cur- rents are in desperate contest for
 some release from bondage. I saw no obstruction and yet the surface told me of giant boulders that lay far beneath. The frantic river in an ef- fort to free itself from the clutches of the Falls above strikes these gigantic rocks. What a lessoni Whence these fretted, worried lives of ours? Why all these moans and signs? Put your ear close to the human sheart--its like listening to the sobbing sea. Surely, down underneath the erstwhile smile, there is the hidden reef. How I really longed for power to blow out the fallen cliffs and set that worried river free! Every day I see hearts
 whose meanings make me desperate breast. That's my trouble-that's your trouble! The more Is. the pity that our lives do not flow in unob- structed channels. All our lives would
 be serene and calm. The worried face and the stormy outer life are the far away. For Niagara Gorge told me tho story. .N

The Electoral Commission.

Boston Herald,
 The death of Gen. Eppa Hunton at Richmond, Va, leaves the venerable George F. Edmunds the sole survivor of the fifteen members of the electoral commission which decided the disputed Pres.d s.dentidl election of 1876. The com. mission was composed of five members of the Supreme Ceurt, Clifford, Strong. Miller. Field and Bradley; five Sena- tors, Edmunds. Morton, Frelinghuysen. the place of Thurman, who was dis abled-and five Representatives, Henry B. Payne. Eppa' Hunton. Josiah G. Abbott, James A. Garfield and George F. Hoar. Considering the fact that this important event in our history occurred only as far back as 1877, the mortality among the participants has been unusual.

NE WPRoJEcT.

This Is essentially the age of can ming things. They can fruits and vsg- etables., fowl and fish. oysters and meats, and other things too numerous to mention. But man is not satisfied with canning foods and the like. but Is also canning noises. We have canned speeches and sermons. music and song. dialogues and coon discourses and some more various things too numer- ous to mention. It surely is canning age.
 And this canning spirit leads to the proposition of an esteemed contempor- ary to set about canning the croak of the meIodious bull-frog. There may be those among our readers who have never had the pleasure and briv- ilege of giving ear to this music of na- ture. To get the full benefit of these pond. whose banks are surrounded by weeds and grass, and whose bottom contains a goodly quantity of mud. Then on a warm evening about the time the chickens are going to roost, and when "aIl the air solemn stiIl- ness holds" or words to that effect, the boss bull-frog gives the signal. and tho concert begins.
 Never. heard 1t? Then you've missed one of the joys of rural life. The voices of the numerous and happy ba- trachians cover the entire gamut of sound. from the deep bass of the father frogs to the shrill treble of tn kids. First the listener will be treated to roar as if a genuine bull of Pashan had taken to the water, while from anothT point will come a squeak from kid just out of the tadpoIe stage, and between these two extremes will come every sound that one can imagine And, speaking of the Texas frogs reminds us of this suggestive item from a con- temporary:
 But the industrial possibilities of canning the ;saks If the mammoth Texas frogs dazzle the imagination The epicure, the gourmet would then be enabled to have served with each pair of frogs .-ickers the identical croak that inspirited the mcttled | green songsters in Its native Texas marsh, an Ideal and unrivaled prevent i've against imitation and substitution. | The export field for frogs canned croaks is also large and tempting. Could anything better be devised for 'booing'' an actor off an EnLlis stage? :? The time may yet come when the voice of the Texas batrachiLn will thrill the Thespian temples of London.
 There's project worth thinking of, and we predict that some enterprising and inventive genius will soon get busy and put Canned croaks on the market. so that the man who sits down to dine off frogs legs will be able to hear what the bird was saying when death struck him. And why not2 When lamost any other sound, animate or inanimate, can be put on cold stor- age. as we might call 1t, and repro duced from the photograph at will we can see not reason why Mir.

-77 --TT777-- REGULATING THINGS,

q -~
 As regulator of things by muni- cipal ordinance commend us to the health and legal officials of our goodly city of Washington. They have just tackled the momentous subject of do- nestle fowls and pigeons, and in order to get at the meat of the matter we copy this much from The Washington Post in reference to the order drafted and promulgated few days ago:
 No longer may the early birds wander about in back yards looking for worms at the expense <f he sleeping neigh bors. The end of the crcwing ro6sters against which hundreds of complaints were annually registered with the pol ice department and the commissioners, has come.
 There scarcely was q day that the District government officials did not receive one or more -mlssives direct ing the attention Of the police authori- ties to some noisy fowl living in residential section.
 According to the new regulation. permit must be obtainsd by every must he issued by the hsa:th depart ment, and signed by the health officer The order does not apply to Thanks giving turkeys and other fowls which
 
 The order issued prohibits the keep ing of any kind of domestic live fowl or pigeons, within the District of Col umbia, on any premises. any part of which is within loo feet from the near est part of any tructure used for hu- man habitation. Fowls or pigeons con- fined in coops in regularly established provision or commission stores or pub lie markets, or homing pigeons or fowls brought upon the premises and kept for krfa reed four hours. for consumption. are ex- empt.
 Progress and advancement Is the or der of the day and why should not the feathered creation be made subserv- lent to regulation and restraint? The statement that many complaints have been made against free and unrestrain- ed roosters is an evidence that Washington desires and proposes to be sleepy and noiseless town or know the reason why. When a fellow has been out with the boys till the wee small hours ayont the twal. as Burns phrases 1t, and falls into morning nap, 1t grates on his nerves 10 be awakened by the believing of a loud lunged rooster and he feels like com hitting murder most fowl with boot jack or some other deadly weapon. And when the girl and her fellow are smuggling up together by the dim light of lamp and making themselves believe that 1t is only 9 o'clock 1t is just too bad to have that same lusty tromb under the window sound the hour of midnight and dspel all their fond manifesto tions.
 We are not wise as to the reasons for putting a ban on pigeons. though even those birds can make nuisances of themselves sometimes, and perhaps the Washington brand may be trouble- some and meddlesome when suffered to run at large. and it may be that they are looked on as an entirely useless part of the city's population. As to that we have no opinion to express. but We do know that chickens in a city are out of place, and especially where there are no yard fences. Not

A call for 50.000 volun- teer~ to storm Parliament, and 100000 responded. that had to be held back by police and 5oldiers. They stopped traf- fic, interfered with the~tre@goers, broke windows and committed other depre- dations.

In the post office at Gainesville Tex" there is a letter addressed to "The Prettiest Girl in Gainesville" so we learn from a contemporary, and it is stated that the postmaster is in a quandary as to whom 1t should be de- 1ivered. He plainly sees what will hap pen to him if he chooses a girl on his own judgment and hands her the let ter. for he knows he would be hunted out of town by the other pretty girls Our judgment is that there but two safe roads for him to pursue. One is to send the epistle to the Dead Letter ofce, and the other to have a commit tee appointed to select the proper per son to receive 1t. In only one of these ways can he preserve a whole skin, we decide.
