The democrats are making capital out
of President Taft's teiegtatn, in which he
pointed out that the amendment was
drafted for the express purpose Of dis
franchisiug the negroes, without affecting
the Suffrage Of anybody else.
The republicans have claimed, among
other things, that the vote ofthe foreign
born citizen would be jeopardizsd BY the
passage Of the amendment, and the dem.
ocrats have Deen quick TO seize upon the
Taft telegram to refuse this charge.
The amendment and articles discussing
it are being translated into nearly every
language spoken in this State, and will
be widely distributed by the democratic
campaign committee, in order to get it
before the naturalized voter in a form in
which he can read it.

Bureau OF Immigration Reports
Maryland Farms In Demand.

In report which the State Bureau of
Immigration has prepared for submission
to Governor Crothers it will be shown
that more than, 81, 100000 was brought to
Maryland by people of,other countries
and by residents IF other States for the
purchase of land through the efforts of
the Bureau for the present fiscal year.
This does not include the purchases of
land made through the efforts Of the
Bureau by residentssof Maryland, many
of whom desired eitherto take up farming
in new localities or engage in farming
as new method of earning a Livelihood.
Eastern Shore farms proved most in de-
mand. Large sales were made in this
locality and the prices ranged all the way
from $40 to $40 an acre. Next in order
was Southern Maryland.
Many inquiries were made concerning
land in the western part of the State, but
the prospective settlers abandoned this
field because of the prices asked for farms.
All of Maryland's new settlers are not
poor men, Some of them made invest
ments amounting to $780, 900, paying cash.
Many came from Western States. They
wished to escape the rigors Of the winters
in the Northwest Maryland was de-
clared by many Of them to be ideal as, far
as climatic conditions were concerned.
Several came from Germany.
AS result of the constant inquiry for
farms in Maryland prices have taken a
boom.
The location OF one settler in any
neighborhood, paying for his property a
good price, has made the old settlers feel
that there may be something in farming
after all They feels too, that the former
friends, relatives and neighbors Of the
new settler will soon be looking him up.
This will mean new settlers and greater
demand for farms. Hence they are dis
posed to ask good prices for their prop
critics.
1t is the experience of the Bureau that
the purchase of one, farm in any COM
lmunity means the purchase of several in
short order. Those making homes here
send back word to their friends, and a
colony is soon established.

The cratic, inconsistent, unreliable
editor of the Wing shows in each succeed
ing issue his total disregard for truth and
is making himself the laughing stock Of
the democrats and an object Of disgust to
members of his own party. A few weeks
ago he announced his intention of avoid
ing personalities regarding the candi'
dates on the opposing ticket and before
finishing his screed was mudslinging as
of yore.
Further he did not consider his OWE
personality or character as having any
place in the discussions and immediately
afterward embraced with delight the op-
portunity to have himselfinjected into the
campaign by joyously accepting the for
lorn hope of the republican nomination
for Comptroller, solely asa further chance
to gain notoriety.
Last week there appeared in the
columns of the Wing purported com,
munication from Conowingo stating that
the mile of State road recently bnilt at
lakewood had alreadyproven failure, as
a traction engine had broken through it
and there was "such hurrying and

statement was a fabrication out Of the

/ 1t is fact that those ingenious and
daring minds that devote themselves
to the solution of the problem of avia-
ton have given no small part of their
preliminary study to considering the
manner Of flight Of birds.
! A strange result Of this investigation
is the, conclusion, now generally in
dorsed, that, as whole, the bird world
i is not to be regarded as perfect in its
attainment of fight. For instance, it
| is contended by the best authorities
that all birds Obliged continually to
flap their wings and in this category
may be mentioned sparrows, finches,
thrushes, crows, etc.-are still in an
imperfect stage of advancement.
In the next class, as being degree
advanced, are put such birds as pi-
geons, swallows, etc, which are able
!, to dart ahead for space after they
have gained a good start by the vigor-
GUS Tapping of their pinions.
In thefthird class the birds that may,
be said to be perfect fiers are the
eagles, vultures, albatrosses and SIM
liar big birds possessing the ability to
rise and fall and sway and soar in the
air indefinitely without perceptible
movement of their wings. It is, Of
course. known to every person Of an
obseryant turn that these big fowl are
able to soar into the air gradually un-
til at last they disappear from the
eye of the watcher, it being almost
impossible to detect any movement be-
yond slight occasional motion Of the
tail.-New York Tribune.

MONSTER ENGINES FOR THE
lHESpEE,

| The Baldwin Locomotive works has
just turned out for use on the South
ern Pacific railroad pair of giant
freight locomotives that for sizes and
| strength eclipse any railroad engine
ever built by any company for any
railroad. Each weighs, including its
tender, 100000 pounds, or 800 tons
and is tabulated to do the work OF
three locomotives of the ordinary con-
solidation type used on the big trunk
lines. Their power is said to be equal
| to that of any two of the largest
| consolidation type engines used on
the Pennsylvania lines, and each is
capable of hauling 10000 tons on a
dead level. In respects other than
size and power these engines are
said to show distinct features of ad-
vancement in locomotive construc-
ton.
A list of the dimensions of the two
new Southern Pacific engines will
give some idea of their immense size.
These are:
Cylinders, 26 inches and 40x30
inches; boiler, diameter, "a inches;
steam pressure, 200 pounds; firebox
length, 1875 inches; firebox,a width,
78h inches; heating surface, flrebox,
232 square feet; heating surface, to-
tai, 1898 square feet; grade area,
68.4 square feet; driving wheels, dia-
meter, 81 inches; wheel base, total
engine, Sc feet inches; wheel base
totale engine and tender, 83 feet 6
inches; weight on driving wheels, es-
timated, 100000 pounds; weight,
total engine, estimated, 43O, OO0
pounds; weight, total engine and ten
der, estimated, 100000 pounds; tank
capacity, water, 5000 gallons; tank
capacity, oil, 1850 gallons.
These locomotives are of the Mallet
type; that is, they are virtually In
two parts, coupled together. This
gives the play necessary In rounding
curves. The boiler is affixed to the
rear section only. In this they are not
a new departure. 1t is in size, power
and economic features that they are
said to be notably distinct.
One of the new economic features
Is said to be device for heating the
water before it enters the boilers.
Another is for the superheating Of
steam after it Is expelled from one
cylinder and before 1t enters the 9TH
er. The 40-inch cylinders are the
largest ever used on locomotive of
any type.
It is said that the largest locomo-
tives heretofore ever built were
turned out by the American Locomo-
tive works for the Erie railroad, and
weighed, including tender, 270 tons,
these each weigh 800 tons.
