PROGRESS OF THE DAY.

During the meeting in Chicago of the
republican convention no less than
100000 words were sent by telegraph
The two telegraph companies and the sew
eral press associations had prepared to
handle 100000 words a day from the
convention hail. and large corps Of bicycle
messengers were organized to take over
flow matter to the main city offices. The
from Chicago to New York city and 40
expert operators were on duty in addition
to those detailed from the Chicago staff
The Postal Telegraph Company had 1875
extra operators on duty.
The new fireboats James Duane and
Thomas Willett. built for the New York
fire department, enjoy the double distinc-
ton Of being the largest boats used for
this purpose and the first boats of this
character fitted with turbine driven
pumps. They have deck length of 131
feet, beam s27 feet and depth of IA feet
On high steel water tower aft. on the
two deck turretS and above the pilot
house four 3-inch MOBILES are mounted.
from which a total of 1900 gallons of
water per minute can be thrown while
the boat is moving at full speed. When
only one of these nozzles is left open and
the pumps are connected in series, a
pressure of 315 pounds at the pump and
go pounds at the nozzle throws stream
OF water of 800 gallons per minute to a
height Of 800 feet and distance of over
400 feet.
= No longer than ten years ago the Cape
to Cairo railroad project of Cecil Rhodes
Was laughed at as a dream, but the
present moment finds it extended 1000
miles nOrthward from the cape. and pros
poets Of the immediate further extension
of this southern section are bright. There
is only a little engineering dispute as to
the more desirable of two proposed routes.
The first step in the construction Of the
northern section is the building Of the
great steel bridge which is now being
thrown over the Blue Nile 1000 miles
south of Cairo. This bridge will greatly
simplify the transportation troubles to
and from khartum and will open up a
rich country which has been inaccessible
to this time. The bridge is LOO feet
long and rests on fourteen stone piers.
II will carry railroad tracks, wagon road
and foot path.
The Winona Interurban railway is
unique in many particulars. In the first
place, it is the only electric line I'm this

Detroit. Mich, Oct. President
Hawkes.. of the Detroit & Mackinaw

planning TO operate a continuous
farm along its right of way next sea-
son. The farm will be the longest
and narrowest in the world 1t is
proposed to cultivate the land each
side of the tracks. planting divers
ity of crops.
There is a twofold purpose in this
plan. One is TO show travellers on the
road and intending settlers what can
be done with the soil, and another is
To avoid the numerous fires which
are started along the railway by
sparks from locomotives when weeds
and dry grass are allowed to dccumu-
late each season.

ONLY FOUR FAMILIES
In A LARGE. VILLAGE
Especial to The Sentinel }

Cologne. Oct. 5.=The German viii
lage of Idar, in the valley of the
Rhine. as old as it is picturesque,
boasts 800 inhabitants. but only four
families.
The whole settlement is engaged
in the one industry of gem cutting,
and derives its total support from
American dealers. who find it cheap
er to send their vast output of the
less precious stones to foreign labor
than to pay for their cutting at
home.
When originally the Beckers, the
Wilds. the Lehmans and the Conrads
built their modest cottage homes in
the sun-kissed valley few miles
from Mayence they little realized
that they would become the forerun-
ners of a race They We're poor, but
thrifty, and children were as plenti-
full as pfennigs were few under the
four roof-trees.
As time went on these intermar-
ried till through generation after
generation the four strains were
blended into clan. From father to
eldest son, the Christian name was
handed down like the trade of gem
cutting and polishing as legacy
till now the Jacob Wilds are dtstin-
guished only by numbers Jacob the
18th is a master cutter.
As their industry thrived. every
male was trained in his art. every
woman tended the gardens and alsc
worked in the fields.
With jealous care the village has
been guarded from intrusion save by
transient guests. who are mostly EN-
issaries from over the seas with large
orders. until this compact monopoly
of toilers is practically inaccessible
