Missouri Man Narrates Wonderful
Tales Of lurlng FIocks.

st. Charles. Mo.-Nature writer's,
give ear to the wonderful tale of Bob
Green Of Orchard farm and his phono-
graph. Recently Bob purchased a
phonograph and some blank records.
The next day he caught a goose-the
biggest one on the farm. Setting the
mechanism going, Bob pulled the
goose's tail.
"Honk! Honk! -honk!"
screamed the bird.
Bob released the goose and stopped
the monograph. Then he caught a
duck and went through the same oper
alton.
"Qua-ack, qua-a-ck. kwa-wa-wak
quack!" the duck yelled.
Nexr day Bob took his machine and
the two records to a thicket on the
Marais Roche. He turned the goose
record loose and with shotgun in hand
awaited results. Soon flock of wild
geese passed over. One gander and
three hens fell to his aim.
Fancying change, Bob substituted
the duck record. The results were
similar. This time he bagged three
brakes and hen.

LAND A 4oo-PoUND FISH.
Anglers, with Tree for Rod, Have
Sport with Sturgeon.

Spokane, Wash.-Four sturgeon, the
largest being ten feet two inches in
length and weighing 400 pounds. were
caught by Gustave Patten. Frank Vim
cent and s. G. Wamsley of Ilo, Idaho
in Snake river, near the mouth of Red
Bird creek, southeast of Spokane. A
two-horse team was required to haul
the 1,110-pound catch to town.
The men used 600 feet of heavy rope
as line, the rod being tree. A steel
hook was baited with large eel and
weighted with 20 pounds of lead. To
permit the fish to play on the line
the shore end was fastened to tree
which swayed with every movement OF
the sturgeon in their endeavors to get
away.
The fishermen say they had the
most difficulty in landing the smallest
fish, which was six feet in length and
weighed 200 pounds. 1t fought and
dashed the water for almost an hour
before it was brought to the river
bank.
These are the largest fish caught In
the Snake river this season, where stu.
dents of Izaak Walton have been busy

The Mckinley sophistry that cheap
coats make cheap men had great vogue
in 1896. Labor in large numbers was
deuded by the fable that if it voted to
give the manufacturer a big bonus the
manufacturer would take care of labor.
The same argument was used
with telling effect in 1900 and 1904.
And again, last year, after hard times
had dealt the country fearful blow,
the old gag was repeated with slight
variation and similar effect. The work
ing man was told last year that if he
voted for Taft the closed mills would
re pen and prosperity would surely
come. If Taft were not elected the
mills would remain closed. Taft was
elected and now the deluded laborers
are told that if the tariff makes any
difference in the gains of the rich en-
ployers, poor half-starved labor must
stand it. Dividends will not be cut,
butIwages will. In many large indus
tries, reductions have already come.
Labor is reaping the reward of its
political asininity. Newton Herald.

New Haven, Conn.-The American

according to the statistics of the ath-

director of the Yale gymnasium, has
made public the 1908 statistics Of de-
velopment in the university. For the
comparisons 500 athletes from the
crew, the football and baseball teams.
the track men and the student athletes
generally were measured.
The general average Is compared
with the averages taken In 1903, and
the 1908 averages are generally higher
than had been expected. The new col
lege man has grown an inch and one
half in five years. He has gained ~
pounds in weight and has u cubic
inches more lung capacity than his
prototype of five years before.
The list bears out the assertion,
commonly made during recent years,
that the American man was becoming
greater physically than any known
race of men has ever been.

s12,ooo,ooo PRICE FOR a HORSE.
Antique Game of GeometricaI Ratio 10
Boomerang in Freak Deal.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-Twelve million
dollars is the price agreed upon for a
horse in a freak deal that was made
the other day.
Frank Kress, superintendent of the
Riverview Coating mills, owns a big
colt which Louis Ehrman desired to
purchase. A dispute arose over the
weight of the animal, Kress claiming
that the horse would raise the scales
at 1,160 pounds and Ehrman denying
1t.
The owner then told Ehrmann that
he would let him have the horse free
if he was under that weight, but that
Ehrmann must buy him If over that
weight, paying with beans for each
pound overweight, on geometrical
basis Of one bean for the first pound,
two beans for the second, four beans
for the third, etc.
The horse weighed an even 1900
pounds, making Ehrmann liable to pay
on basis of 40 pounds.
Kress got busy with his pencil, and,
allowing 3,400 beans to the quart. finds
that he sold the horse for 100000
bushels of beans, which at the market
price, are worth between $12,000,0OO
and $12.50O.O0O.
He declares he will deliver the
horse and will hold Ehrmann to their

TESLA INvENTs NEW TURBINE.
Capable Of Speeding Ships SO Knots

New York.-Nikola Tesla has in
vented an explosive gas turbine which
will propel sca-going vessels at from
forty to fifty Knots an hour.
For several days experiments have
been made secretly at the works of
the American and British company
at Bridgeport, Conn.,, with craft hav-
ing the appearance of torpedo-boat
destroyer. The experiments have
proved, it is said that the new tur-
bine can develop speed that will make
the records of the Lusitania and Maui
retania fade into comparative insig-
nificance. Mr.. Tesla, when found at
his Office. said:
II cannot imagine how knowledge
of this turbine leaked out. 1t is true

enormously high degree of speed with
gas explosive turbine, and even
though invented it | will say it's a
corker. 1t will outspeed anything
af1oat, and it's capabilities are bound

Asked what he meant by boundless
capabilities, Mr.. Tesla said:
I am not prepared to go into the
secret of this turbine, but it will drive
a vessel of any size, no matter how
rough the water, at an incredible
rate of speed. This can't be said OF
other things afloat.
When l am ready to give public
trials you will find that my turbine
will revolutionize sea going travel ani
cause builders of Dreadnoughts to SIT
up and take notice. The turbine will

tier of Baden and Wurtemberg. In

red streak on which could be plainly
seen landscape with fields, streams
and woods. among which two bodies
OF troops In battle formation were ad-
vancing toward each other, firing vol
Ieys. The puffs of smoke were clearly
visible.
Half an hour later the picture sud
denly disappeared but the excitement
and fear aroused among the villagers
lasted until the next morning, when
the explanation appeared in the news
papers of the district that sham
fight had been held by the garrison
OF Mergentheim, some 20 miles dis.
tsnt, and had been miraged on the
clouds.

given out by DR.. Born are:

The most thorough tests made in
this country were published ten years
ago when statistics were taken from
many sources showing the gradual in
crease in height and weight of Ameri-
can men and women.
Then the average height was found
to be about 681s inches; chest meas
urement, 3S inches; with inflated
chest, 40 inches; waist, % inches; hip,
80 inches; thigh. 21A inches; calf,
141a inches, and weight, 100 pounds.
Then it was said that glance over
10000 college men showed an av-
erage increase in weight for 40 years
of three pounds ana an average In
crease In height of an inch, with the
freshman classes showing two inches
better average than their fathers had
shown. The average was likewise
shown to have gained an inch in
height and five pounds in weight.
The records have not been kept with
any uniformity either as to ages and
numbers tested, or as to form of re-
cording the measurements, but the
general indication is that the human
family, as typified by the American
college boy, is growing and developing
in weight, in height and in the gen.
eral points that go to make up the

The American Economist does not
take hopeful view of tariff reform as
far as it has gone. 1t says:
1--WE are to have new tariff law
that few people will like and most peo-
pie will detest. 1t will, judging from
the qua,rels and bad blood already en-
gendered among the republicans in con-
gress and the Decentralization among
the democrats, turn out to be tariff
of bargains and compromises, and not
tariff framed on straight protection
lines; tariff of shreds and patches,
scorned by free-traders, derided
by "reformers, regretted by protec-
tionists. That is the present prospect.
The country would have been better
off by some billions of dollars if the
Dingley tariff had been let entirely
