HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW

Mr.. Cromwell denies with great
pOsitiveness something that has never
been charged, when he says that he is
positive that not u man in public life
in America, in or out of congress, ever
had the least pecuniary interest in the
Panama canal" That charge has been
made by no one. He is, however, less
strong, when he says that he does mot
know and never has known of any
American citizens who has ever dealt
in any shares of the new Panama canal
company or the shares or bonds Of the
old company" To say that he does not
know of Il thug is hardly the same as
denying it. The que ition is, as it
always has been, who got the money?
The answer to that will show whether
Of their Investment in canal securities
for the purpose of unloading them en-
the government at fancy prices, prices
far i'll excess Of what was paid for
them, of their worth. This phase of
the case does not seem to intere.t either
the president or Mr. Cromwell The
latter gentleman reminds us that he
said to the senate committee that he
did mot know what distribution of the
fund had been made" and that he was
Gin no way concerned or interested
therein" 1t was, nc said further, none
OF his Guinness, personally or profession
ally, who were the Stockholders Of the
company" While the president says
that "the United States government
has not the slightest knowledge us to
the particular individuals among whom
the French government distributed the
sum-" and that. this was the business
of the French government" We
think the American people have right
to know whether or not the canal
property cost them millions more than
it ought to cost, and whether, if there
was any such loot, amy American
citizens shared in it.-Indianapolis

Eating the Octopus.

At Atlantic City the other day fish
erman caught an octopus, rare fish
in those waters.
The octopus, which resembles a
frayed and ruined football Of brown
leather, was carried home by the fish
erman in bucket of water.
What am ] going to do with it?"
he said. why, Pm going to eat
it. I'd as soon eat octopus as seal
lops.
II am traveller, and l learned in
Italy and France the octopus excel
lence. You can't give an Italian of
the Riviera or a .Frenchman of the
northwest coast, where the fish
abounds, a more welcome dish.
What does it taste like? It
tastes like scallops or like tripe and
oysters"

TAKES ROMANCE FROM TEARS.
Weapon of the Heroine CooIIy Ana.
Iyzed by French Chemist.

One does not care to have ones
tears Analysed like a patent food or
medicine, and to associate them with
chemical substances, but we are moth
ing II not practical nowadays, and
every shred of romance, poetry and
sentiment is remorselessly wrenched
from lis for scientific purposes.
"A French journal devoted to mat
tiers Of this kind has been telling us,
not only Of what tears are composed,
but exactly the effect tina: is produced
on brain and body when we shed
them.
So henceforth when we read that
the heroine's beautiful eyes were suf-
fused with tears" that lin a moment
she was weeping passionately on his
shoulder we shall know that by.a
kind of shower-bath arrangement a
mixture Of albuminoid, water and
chemical substances was let loose at
the back Of her skull, thus dulling the
nerve centers, and really giving her re-
lief
However, 1t does not sound roman
tic, and mere man is likely to imagine
that the fair one is really suffering
doubly when all this happens.-Gentle-

Need Much Money for Docks.

So much money is required to bring

silage. Another element must help
us drive out the oxygen and this is
carbonic acid, gas much heavier
than the oxygen and therefore capable
of forcing out the lighter gas. So in
order to have so-called sweet silage
we must promote the formation of
carbonic acid. Carbonic acid in silage
can be formed only through heat. In
order to develop the proper heat, the
corn must be in the proper condition,
namely, not too dry nor too wet We
know that pile of straw, for exam
Pile, when thoroughly saturated with
water will not heat at all. Immature
corn, containing an excess of moist
ure, will not heat sufficiently. 1t is
not the immature corn itself that pro-
duces the sour silage. The excessive
moisture in the corn slows up the
heating process, thus retarding the
formation of carbonic acid gas and the
result is sour silage. Let part of
the moisture in the corn escape and
your immature corn will make just as
sweet silage as the more mature corn.
"In a recent bulletin you will find
that a gentleman recommends not to
build too deep silo, as he found that
the silage in the lower part of the
silo was always more acid (sour.)
This is certainly not due to the depth
of the silo, but to the condition OF the
corn at the time of filling. When we
start filling, the corn, in most cases,
is still rather green and If we fill rap
idly the silage has no chance to heat
up sufficiently and the result is sour
silage. My silos are forty feet in depth,
but the silage at the bottom is just as
sweet as it is on top.
"The depth of silo bears no rela-
ton to the quality, of the silage. 1t
is merely a matter of economy to have
a deep silo, and it is advisable for va
rious other reasons. However, the ar
gument that a deep silo is desirable
because of the great pressure neces-
sary to preserve the silage does not
appeal to me. 1t is hard to under
stand why the upper twenty feet OF
silage in a forty-foot silo should have
more pressure than the upper twenty
