From the great quantity of African
hunting tales that are being printed in
publications all over the world, it is
evident that if Mr.. Roosevelt is to
really earn the 50 a word that he is
to be paid for his African hunting
stories he will have to indulge in a
little mature taking Everything
possible in the way of hair-breadth
escapes and thrilling adventures in the
African wilds that man could pos
sibly enjoy has been told about al

that it is doubtful If any of the first
and second degree magazines of today
would accept most of Poe's stories for
publication. Regardless of this and
other criticism the fact that Poe's
verse and stories occupy the place in
literature that they do today after SO
many years Of life, is a tribute to their
author that cannot be gainsaid.

of member of the house of representa-

has been made that the bill should re-
quire the poultryman to furnish every
hen with a rubber stamp with which
she could date her eggs as soon as they
are laid. This would certainly be
good idea if it was practicable. The hen
might, however, raise a question as to
the constitutionality of the law, which
would mean an appeal to the United
State supreme court and would involve
vexatious delay. Until it has been def

A PENALTY OF NIGHT RIDING.

1t is brought out as an additional pen
atty for the communities and states
which permit night riding that a court
has held fire insurance companies ex-
empt from paying losses by fires set
by the Kentucky night riders. This de-
cision by the United States court at
Louisville is based on the clause in the
policies that they do not cover losses
from fires caused by rioters, and the
night riding proceedings are held to be
riots of an obnoxious and cowardly
type. This is the law, and though it
looks like hardship for the victims of
that lawlessness, it is sound public pol
icy. If communities cannot maintain
protection from systematic and organic
ed arson, fire insurance based on a pre-
sumption of civilized order cannot be
reasonably expected to assume the risk
of the lawlessness. Those who have al
ready suffered must bear their loss.
But the rule stated by the court will
add to the penalties on the community
by warning people with money or en-
ergy that they will be wise to stay out
of any section where nocturnal mobs
assert the privilege of destroying life
land property.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Butter Producer.

so as to make it salable?"-F. J. G., Dane county, Wis
 In answering the above query Prof B. w. Harrington says that the per cent. of water and the per cent of moisture in butter are the same thing Some persons use the first term and others the second. The present law states that butter containing over 16 per cent. water must pay a tax of 10 cents per pound, since it is classified as adulterated It is quite necessary that butter makers be absolutely sure not exceed the 16 per cent. limit.
 know of no way in which you can be sure of the water content of the butter made at your factory unless you test it from day to day. The Irish butter test has been suggested for this purpose. I think you need have no fear of exceeding the 16 per cent. limit if you will wash the gran ules of butter with cold water at about 90 degrees F., allowing the butter to become hard and firm. Then after draining off the water, wash and al low the butter to stand in the churn some time until it drains rather dry. Sprinkle the salt over this and give it the usual amount of working EX- cessive moisture is held in butter that is soft and not thoroughly drained.

Hottest Places in City of New York

en shirts, buttoned high about theIr necks, and woolen masks and gloves. Four or five minutes at the most in the vulcanizing room is all they can stand without collapsing, and some can't even stay that long.
 Outside these men, nobody is ever allowed to endure such a frightful heat. In fact, it is hard to convey the idea of PIP degrees. You can get the same degree of temperature by thrusting your finger into boiling wa ter. Water boils at PIP degrees Fah- renheit.
 No native born American can stand such heat, and foreigners-Italians and Sicilians-make the best hands at such work and make up the staff of employees in the vulcanizing room Even these hardy sons of southern climes often collapse from the terri fic temperature.
 There are plenty of other hot places in New York, but none to compare with this. In some of the big hotels it gets to 145 degrees in the great kitchens. Cooks and helpers have to work in that temperature for hours unprotected. There is a great differ ence between 145 and PIP degrees above zero, just the same Some races can endure temperature of 150 de- grees without protection, but after the mercury has passed the ITO CT 1S0 mark it means death for anyone to remain in it for any length of time.

THAT is really hot. Yes, it's the hottest place in New York where men go and live afterward to tell the tale. But few are hardy enough to hear it.
 This hottest place in New York is in Desbrosses street in a vulcanizing factory, where telephone wires are in sulated by being coated with prep aration of rubber. In the room where this process takes place the temperature rises to PIP degrees-10O degrees hotter than the hottest it may be outside in the sun.
 Man can endure no more.
 Actually, there are some who can stand this, however. Only few, mind you, but still some They are only the strongest and hardest of the workmen, and they can be in the room but a few brief minutes at a time. Several times daily it is their duty 10 enter the room to see that all goes well.

WATER CONTENT IN BUTTER.
Moisture in Butter in Excess of 16 Per Cent. Makes It Liable to
 Special Tax.

The dairy school of the University ,If Wisconsin is constantly receiving inquiries similar to the following aut the problem outlined is of such gen. eral interest as to make this question and reply worthy of publication:
 ''Is not the water content of butter and the moisture content the same thing? Is it against the law to sell butter that has more than 16 per cent of moisture in it? I have seen in a paper that some butter makers have sold butter containing 19 per cent moisture as extras. I had a butter maker take my place for two weeks and when I came home he had made butter containing 21 per cent. of mois- ture and the company which bought it sent it back, saying that it was against the law to sell it. What would be the best way to work this butter

settlement as possible with credi-
tors, and later reorganiZe and do bus
mess Under the name of the Ameri-
can Oil NEngine company. 1t is known
that General Manager W. A. Hatch
of the International company has ex-
pended much effort since the begin
ming of the receivership in an endeav-
or to extricate the company from the
financial difficulties; and, according to
the rumor. he has so far succeeded
as to secure under a special arrange
ment, sufficient capital to permit the
company to resume business. The re-
ceiver's sale of the engine company's
unencumbered property is fixed for to-
morrow Saturday and developments
if any are to be expected-will prob
ably come at that time. Further, in
the story of the probabilities, it is
claimed that Mr. Robinson of New
York, who holds a mortgage on the
greater part of the machinery. has
agreed to transfer his mortgage to
others willing to assume it, and that
the properties offered for sale Satur
day will be bid upon for the engine
company. 1t is said that the hope of
resumption and the future success of
the old engine company is based on
the fact that their new two-cylinder
engine, which is an improvement over
their present type of engine, was near
ly completed when the company pass
ed into the hands of receiver, and
that as soon as 1t can be placed on
the market it should prove a big SELL
