pi:
The death of Bro. L. b. Lock
hard, Supreme Protector of our Or
der, on June 81, while not unex-
pected, comes to US with extreme
sadness and severity. For seven
teen years he has led the host
with marked ability and strict ad-
herence to the principles of the Or
der. Full of zeal and enthusiasm =,
it was an inspirition to be with
him and hear the expressions of
hope and determination to carry
our Order into every hamlet and
village. He was thoroughly im-
bued with the great advantages the
Order afforded and was at all times
proclaiming the good that was to
follow those enlisted under its ban
ner.
Thou art gone; the abyss Of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form, yet on
our hearts
Deeply has sunk the lesson thou
hast given
And shall not soon depart.
Let US emulate the example set
before US and renew our pledges to
carry out the principles he so nobly
advocated as our leader. All lodges
are requested 70 drape their char
ters in mourning for thirty days as
a mark of respect and esteem.
His mantle has fallen upon Bro.
B. s. Watts of this State, known
by all. Let every mem Der give to
him their hearty support and en-
couragement in the responsible du-
ties that lie out before him.

The Sagacity of Rats.

The average rat possesses extra
ordinary sagacity. On a sailing
ship bound to Calcutta from Cape
Town some time ago it was decided
to try to reduce the number of rats
which had boarded the vessel at the
latter port. The end of an ordina-
ry cask was planed perfectly smooth,
coated with grease and a meat bait
tackled in the center. The end was
fixed on two rails, balanced so that
should anything touch it off the
center it would 60 down. The cask
was partly filed with water and
buried in the ballast to within a
few inches of the top. The first
night over 200 rats were caught;
the second night few, the third
night none were caught. 1t was
found by the marks of rats feet in
the grease and the missing bait that
they had discovered the exact cen
ter, and took the bait as they liked.
Half an inch on either side of the
center meant death Marine Jour-
nal.

Money is About to Move.
New York Evening Post. aug Il.

The annual drain of currency
from New York to help move the
crops is about to start Some bank
ers declared their expectation of
seeing this week the Inauguration of
the movement, although. i'm at
least one important instance, the
prediction was made that the first
direct shipments of currency to the
/ West need not be looked for until
about the beginning of September.
| Currency shipments from the inter
ior to this city, have now practical
/ ly ceased, and already, according to
| banking advices, money for crop
purposes is beginning to be drawn
out Of the banks Of Chicago, Kan
sas City and st. Louis; SO that it
would seem to be only a matter Of
comparatively short time before
| the New York banks would also be
| applied to. A year ago the out
ward drain began On Aug. ,, and
| the total net currency shipments
| through the New York banks TO the
interior totaled for the season of
1907 S47 SIG, ,0OO-the greatest to-
tai for at least a dozen years back.
In 1906 the movement started on
Aug. and the total drain was
| S41,71O,0O0, while i'm 1905 the
start was on Aug. II and the total
for the season was S21, ,749, 900.
these dates for the beginning Of the
movement are all prior to to-day,
but in 1904 the first shipment was
not made until Aug 20and in 1903
it was not until Sept that the
movement started, an unusually
late date.
The crops are admittedly large
this year and local bankers general
ly expect that this years money
movement westward will be consid-
erable, possibly exceeding $40, 900, =
600. The expectation is in the
face of talk which has been heard
IL other seasons, and which is be-
ing again heard in some quarters
this year, that the Western banks
are unusually full of currency. and
therefore can directly supply the
currency demand in large meas
ures themselves without applying to
the New York banks. That many
Of the Western banking centers are
unusually flush with currency is
true, and there has also been a ten
dency noted towards an increase in
the use of checks rather than actual
cash in handling the crop move
ment in some Of its phases. But to
pay the farm hands checks Is hard
ly practicable, and as the crops are
large, the demand for actual curren-
cy Is also sure to be heavy, and for
the West to draw on New York
would simply amount to calling
home some of the large deposits
made here by ifs banks in the past
six months.

Corn Almost One Dollar a Bushel.

! Time was and not so long ago,
/ either when the farmers of the West
used corn for fuel if they had more
than enough to feed to their live
stock. This year there is a shortage
in the supply. 1t is estimated that
there is not more than ?. 900, 900 bush
els of last years crop in the country
outside of the supplies stored in the
farmers bins. So corn is selling for
SO cents a bushel. When corn is scarce
and high the Western meat packers
always have an excuse for raising the
price of beef; but if the season is pro-
pitious Uncle Sans corn crop of 1908
win be a bumper one. Agricultural
experts estimate the yield this year
at ., 700, 600, 200 bushels The farmers
barns, in that event, will be filled TO
overfiowing, and his purse viii as
sumo plethoric proportions even if
there be a drop in the price of corn
when the new crop il marketed.
There will be enough with a harvest
of 2, 700, 600 900 bushels to supply do
mestie needs and possibly to meet
European demands. There are still
many Americans who hold the hum
BILE cornpone in contempt and even
scorn the more toothsome "eggbread'
and battercakes. p" Perhaps they
may be persuaded to try these edi-
bles if corn should continue to COM
mand as high a price in the market
as wheat. They might imagine then
that there must be some good quail
ties in a grain which is in as great
demand as wheat and brings as high
a price. This is the logic of many a
gourmand. Baltimore Sun.

Like a demon from the skies. its
motor splitting fire and its long gray
gas bag outlined against the dark sky
of dusk. the Baldwin airship landed
at Fort Myer tonight after making a
flight which broke all records for ae-
rial navigation in this country. For
two hours and FIVE minutes the big
military dirigible, built for the Uni
ted States army, flew back and forth
over a course nearly five miles in
length in the official endurance trial.
The airship is now the property of
the Signal Corps of the United States
army. few formalities only remain
ing to be gone through before Capt.
Baldwin turns his aerial craft over to
Gen. Allen, chief signal officer.
The airship has withstood every
test required of it by the terms of the
contract between the government
and Capt. Thomas c. Baldwin. It is
believed that the board of signal Of
ficers, which will meet on Monday,
Will figure the average speed attain
ed by Capt. Baldwin on his speed
trial yesterday at twenty miles, thus
emitting the aeronaut to the full con-
tract price. $3.50. The signal corps
desires also to buy Capt Baldwin )
gas bag making plant, which is now
al Fort Myer. 1t is also possible that
they will purchase the nineteen thou
sand cubic feet of gas remaining in
the gas envelope. 1t was :3S O clock
this evening when the airship rose
gradually from the ground TO make
the test for the final requirement of
the specifications. Four minutes lat
er it crossed the starting line, where
it was timed by Lieuts. Selfridge and
/ Creecy.
Travelling over the same course as
on the speed trial yesterday, two and
a sixteenth miles in the direction of
| Cherrydale, Va, the first trip was
made in sixteen minutes. This was
an average speed for the round trip
of thirteen and one-half miles an
hour.
| The rate attained in the speed trial
! yesterday was surpassed on the trip
over the course to-day, when an av-
erage of nearly twenty-one miles an
/ half of this trip the ship sailed across
| the sky at a rate of nearly forty five
miles. This probably was due to the
! aeronaut striking a current of air
travelling at about twenty-five miles
/ The total distance covered in to-day :
/ trial was between twenty-eight and
/ thirty miles.
I Throughout the trip the airship was
kept under almost perfect control,
and at no time, said Mr.. Curtiss, did
/ the engine miss a spark.
In to-day's test it was required that
/ Capt. Baldwin remain in continuous
| flight for two hours at an average
speed equaling 20 per cent of that at
tanned in the speed trial yesterday,
! 1876 miles an honr. This would be
/ 1874 miles an hour. 1t is estimated
that the average speed maintained in
to-day's fight was about seventeen
miles an hour.
Another condition imposed was
that sufficient fuel be carried to run
/ the motor for two hours and that ex-
cessive heating of the engine should
not occur. Both of these conditions
were easily fulfilled, there being two
gallons of gasoline of the five taken
on the trip still remaining unused
when the landing was made.
