In a Nitrorlycerin Chill"

In the danger area" the severest
discipline is maintained. All entrances
are carefully guarded by searchers,
who vigorously examine every indi-
vidual that desires to enter, relieving
him of any metallic objects that may
be carried upon his person, together
with matches and other suspicious OBJ
jets which upon coming into contact
with the dangerous chemicals used in
this zone might provoke serious trou-
BILE. No matter how often an employee
engaged within the hill may pass in
and out, every time he enters he must
submit to this preliminary and essen
tial operation. There are also some
500 girls employed. and these are IN
der the charge of matrons. Hairpins.
ordinary pins. shoe buttons, metal pegs
within the soles of the shoes, knitting
and other needles are all religiously
barred. Their hair is tied with braid
or ribbon. and, as with the male en-
ployes. every time they enter the dan
ger area" they are similarly searched
by the matrons-Scientific American.

Value of Tariff Duties.

A pretty good idea of the condition
which would prevail in America with
regard to the Importation Of foreign
made goods if there were 40 strong
tariff schedules to protect home prod
ucts is secured from the statement
that last year, despite the tariff rates
levied on most imports, foreign manu-
facturers sent S67,OOO,OOO more goods
into this country than during the pre-
yiOus year.
Without the barrier which prOtec-
ton affords the American maker Of
these commodities, what food Of
these foreign products would last year
have swept through the ports Of our
land! Instead Of seeing their across
the-water competitors compelled, by
reason of the tariff duties collected. to
sell the imported goods at prices COM
mensurate with the cost of producing
the merchandise here, the American
factory owner would have been faced
with a market stocked with products
selling at lower prices than his own
goods cost him from the hands of his
well-paid laborers.
1t is significant showlngs Of this
sort which prove not only the value of
tariff duties to the nation as a whole,
but which also point unerringly TO the
dire result which would come from a
change of this great American eco
nomic notwithstanding (Mo)

Exports of Farm Products.

How much of truth is there in the
assertion that American farmers are
suffering for lack of foreign markets
and hence demand a reduction of our
tariff as the price of gaining larger
sale abroad for their products. Off
cial statistics do not bear out the claim
For the seven months ending January.
1903, our exports of foodstuffs amount
to SOS, 391 ga. Of this sum bread
stuffs furnished S142,3SO, 1S7; meat and
dairy products, S9S,357,S27 and cattle,
hogs and sheep, S17.653,630.
This total of S25S,391, ga of exported
food products is the largest for any cor
responding seven months heretofore
known
American farmers further contrib
uted to the export trade in the same
seven months raw cotton of the value
of S316, So. 105. Add this to the $685.
391, 644 of food products and we find
that in seven months the total exports
o. commodities grown and produced on
American farms were valued at 500
253.749.
The truth of the matter is that
American farmers are selling TO for
eigners all that they have left after
the. American demand is supplied, and
at exceptionally good prices, too.
There is no need TO swamp our mills
and factories with heavy increases of
imports at reduced tariff rates on ac-
count of the American farmer He is
doing very well, indeed. as things are.

Republican campaign provision cam
not safely stop with the Democratic
Darty's defined strength or with count
of the States which Mr.. Bryan did not
carry in his two presidential efforts.
This year there is a difference which
weakens the force of old figuring. All
the disconnected elements, all the
loosely attached elements and all the
Republican stay at home elements are
to be considered as possible Democrats.
1t is not to be forgotten that each of
the Bryan propositions, however Chi
merical it may be in the judgment of
the well-informed, has a certain attrac
ton for voting masses and has been
advanced with a not wholly illusioned
view to that practical, If temporary
political effect. Popular faith in settled
forms and principles Of government Is
always shaken in times of sluggish in
dustry. No man is able to propheSy
how far even greenbackism will be &C.
cepted by the spirit of anything for
chance" which will be present during
the coming campaign.
Mr.. Watterson has lately quoted a
remark of John G. Carlisle made just
before Bryan returned from Europe a
year ago. 1t was, "Nr. Bryan has no
more idea of the responsibilities of gov
eminent than child" Literally Mr..
Carlisles remark was an Overstate-
ment; substantially it was the truth.
He touched fact of the Bryan person
atty which makes the prospective DEM
ocratic candidate one of the most dan
gerous men ever seen in American pub
lie life. Bryan's entire mental view
is that of the lecturer and the facile
applause of a listening crowd. His
method apparent even in the famous
Grown Of thorns" defamation, is that

POIiCd Comment.
Attacks on Army and Navy.

Some structures on the army by army
officers and on the navy by naval Off
GERS have been made recently. those on
the navy being far more serious tnan
the others. All ought to receive the care
full attention of the government. The
criticisms on the navy which have been
made by civilians may or may not be
Of any consequence. but those which
are made by men in the service are
worthy OF note
Commander William S. Sims. an Off
Ger in good standing in the service, has
just charged naval officers and inyen-
tors with making misleading state
ments in answer TO criticisms, and for
doing this he is being treated rather
harshly by the Senates Committee on
Naval Affairs. Commander Sims
charges that the statements Of Rear
Admirals Converse and Caps are not
strictly correct. These officers had
denied the stories of alleged defects in
the war vessels which were made by a
civilian and published in a recent num-
Der Of a sensational magazine. But,
according to Commander Sims, both
Converse and Capps failed to tell the
whole truth. or concealed part Of the
truth. Sims testimony shows that he
believes some of the criticisms were
correct.
The country hopes that rigid in
vestigation will be made into the con-
dition of both army and navy. The
army at this time is much weaker nu-
merically than it ever was before since
the Spanish war of 1898. At the time
when Secretary Taft made his recent
report the total strength of the entire
military forces was $4,000, or about
5000 below the aggregate of twelve
months earlier. Since the latest re-
port was hade there has probably been
a further decline. as the tendency In
recent years has been steadily down.
ward The $4,000 of the military
forces in 1908 is divided into 81, 900 il
the United States, 1900 in the Phil
ippines, 1000 in Cuba, 1000 in Alaska,
and the remainder in Hawaii, on the
ocean or at foreign stations. AS the
present law contemplates force OF
100000, some means ought to be adopt
ed to increase the number. Secretary
Taft proposes an increase of pay as
remedy. and a measure with that pur-
pose in view is before each branch OF
Congress. The country emphatically
desires that Congress give some atten-
ton to the defects in the army and
navy, and especially to make rigid
inquiry into the criticisms on the navy
which have recently been made.

OUR CHOIR.

There's Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria,
With Obediah,
And Jedekiah,
In our choir.
And Jane Sophia soprano sings
So high you'd think her voice had wings
To soar above all earthly things,
When she leads off on Sunday;
While Ann Maria's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice
That sinners in the church rejoice,
And wish she'd sing till Monday.
Then Obediah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky;
Just hear him sing Sweet BY and By,
And you will sit and wonder;
While Jedekiah's bass profound
Goes down so low it jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rolling thunder.
Talk not to us Of PATHS fame,
OF Nicolini's tenor tame,
Of Cary's alto-but name
OF Whitney's ponderous basso!
They sing no more like Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria, Obediah,
And Jedekiah in our choir,
Than cats sing like Tommasol

SEED HOUSE IS DESTROYED.
Fire Demolishes Part OF Great OIds


Fire Demolishes Part OF Great OIds
Plant in Clinton.
Fire which destroyed the large ware
house and packing room of the L. L.
Olds Seed Company caused a loss of
over $4,000 at the company's headquar-
tiers in Clinton. The fire started short.
ly after O'Clock on the second floor in
the women's cloak room. A strong wind
was blowing and the flames destroyed
the building in a few minutes. The adj
jacent buildings were saved by firemen
and volunteers. who stationed themselves
on the roofs and passed pals of water.
Before the fire was under control the
water supply in the village gave out and
the firemen and their assistants spent the
remainder of the time in saving the ada
cent buildings with what water they could
secure from wells. The building was a
three-story frame structure and had $780,
600 worth of Seeds including garden and
field varieties. and also 10000 bushels of
potatoes. The loss is partly covered by
insurance. Temporary headquarters were
opened. The company employed about
sixty hands and was the-largest factory
in Clinton.

Many people not without education
and general knowledge of natural
history are mystified by the presence
of fish in inclosed waters For many
years there was open-mouthed wonder
over the perch, Dream and crayfish
found in the newly-cut dams near the
Marguerite river in New South Wales.
In some cases the water had scarcely
settled after the rain had filled the dam
that the fish We're observed. and the
Australian farmers started a theory OF
spontaneous production. This obtained,
and gained wide credence until a Sgd
ney professor CHANGED to pick up a
wild duck and found its breast feath-
ers and webbed feet well dotted with
fertile and almost Matched fish ova. on
which the spontaneous production
theory was promptly withdrawn.-Phil-
adelphia Record.
