CURIOUS NEEDLES IN EUROPE.
One Made from a Hair and Another
Is Covered with Beautiful
Engraving.

Many years back the then king Of
Prussia visited needle mandatory
IN his kingdom. He was shown num-
Der of superfine needles, thousands OF
which together did not weigh half an
ounce, and maryeled how such minute
objects could be pierced with an eye.
But he was shown something even
finer. The workman whose business
1t was to bore the eye in the needles
asked for a hair from the monarch's ;
head. IT was readily given, and with
a smile the borer placed 1t under his
machine and made an eye in it. This
he furnished with a thread, and then
handed the singular needle to the as
tonished king.
Another most curious needle was
In the possession OF Queen Victoria. 1t
was made at the celebrated needle
mandatory at Reeditch, and repre-
sents the column of Trajan in mini
ature. This well-known Roman column
Is adorned with numerous scenes In
sculpture which immortalize Trajan's
heroic actions in war, and on this
iiminutive needle, which was present
ed to the queen on her visit to the
famous mandatory In December.
1864, scenes in her life are presented
in relief, but so small that 1t requires
a powerful magnifying glass TO see
them clearly

ing" The commercialism of the
country must be revised before the
church can carry out the teaching,
Love thy neighbor as thyself."
At the close the senator spoke of
his work in the state legislature. He
found that it had been the practice
heretofore for people to get franchises
TO build dams, the waterpowers in
most cases remaining undeveloped
and the franchise being held for
speculative purposes. He considered
that the waterpowerS and mineral
rights of the state belong to the
people as a whole. In the last session
of the legislature, he said, there were
Iwenty-six petitions for such franchis-
es, but through his objection and the
cooperation of others, not dam
franchise was granted. The state is
buying thousands of acres of land for
reforestration-land from which the
timber has been stolen by United
States senators, he said. In some
instances isolated pieces are sold. In
a bill relating to the sale of such, he
said he caused an amendment to be
inserted, which provides that the
state reserve the waterpower and
mineral rights, for ourselves, our
children and forevermore. The small
fellow who gets a franchise and de-
velopes waterpower is usually COB
bled up by the larger fellow, and to-
day, one-third of the developed water
powers of the country are owned by
one clique of fellows. Waterpower is
a very cheap power, but the corpora
tions controlling them keep the price
up TO point just trifle below that
supplied by steam, so that communities
are little benefited by such develop
ment. AT Kilbourn John /. Beggs
flooded the city's pumping station,
refused to repair the damage and is
carrying the power over wires into
Milwaukee TO operate his street car
system. On Black River the power is
being carried out of the state TO
Winona, MINI.
The senator stated that he was
open for any questions. There being
none the address came to a close.
