chemical constituents of water and takes advantage of the explosive | capacity of these elements in recom- bining to produce power
 Burn water" Capt Warren says, ''only in the sense in which we burn carbonic gas. Both are products of combustion. The constituent ele- ments of each are combustible when isolated. The only problem is to sep arate or isolate them after they have once been combined. This nature is | constantly doing, and we have only to
 accelerate or short circuit her pro. cesses in order to restore immediately these combustible substances to their elemental state and have them ready to reunite at our bidding in the phe. | nomenon of combustion. Burning, or combustion, is simply the manifesta- tion of the action of chemical affinity. We burn the elemental substances, hydrogen and oxygen, by bringing them together under conditions favor- able to the operation of the affinity, which causes them to unite in a new chemical compound, which, when con- densed, is water. We separate these elements by subjecting their com pound water, to conditions which overcome or neutralize this affinity.
 When we can burn hydrogen for power, when the industrial world awa- kens to the fact that prodigious expen- ditures for coal and liquid fuel are entirely unnecessary, and that there is right within our grasp an unlimited supply of fuel substance available practically without cost, for it is self producing, there will be a revolution in the industrial world When the centuries-old theories of the inde- structibility of matter and the con- servation of energy and matter have once become really understood by men, we will witness the utter collapse and extinction of one of the oldest and most gigantic of human industries, the mining of coal"
 As applied to warships, Capt War ren believes that his new propulsive power will be of far-reaching impor- tance and give the American battle ships adopting the fuel and apparatus he has devised immense advantages over warships of other navies, as the rechanism of the Warren scheme is So simple and comparatively small Chat it will not be easy for a torpedo or shell from the enemy to reach it. But what is the secret of the pro- | duction of this new motive power?" Capt. Warren was asked.
 "The secret of the production of hy- | drogen for fuel lies in the successful manipulation of that mysterious force in nature called chemical affinity of clements, in other words, the isolation of the hydrogen under certain condi-
 tions and it's recombination through
 combustion with the oxygen through
 which it was originally associated in | the form of water"

1 did dislike to have her taken away from me! But she was transferred to the western division, as the grades there are lighter and this engine was built heavier, for mountain climbing
 East of here, about 90 miles, is our longest tunnel, No 4, and one-quarter of mile from the east end of the tun- nel is small river, over which is a bridge of two spans. This bridge has always been considered dangerous, owing to the fact that the river is very swift and rises very suddenly, on ac- count of rains and snows in the noun tains.
 About two years ago young wom- an was killed just as we ran out of the east end of tunnel No. 4. She was hit by the 525 at the dead hour of mid night. When we picked her up we discovered that she was attired in pure white-her night clothes We afterward heard that she was son. nambulist, and that she had wandered from her home, only few yards dis tant, and was certainly crossing the track in her sleep.
 "On my first run east, after the death of the girl, all went right, yet I could not keep from thinking of what happened the last time I had made the trip. It had made a strong impress sion on my mind and I was just a little bit nervous as we entered Mo- 4. As we neared the east end my heart beat louder and faster.
 "'What was that?' I asked myself as l saw, or imagined I saw, for just one second, something snow-white flash ahead of my engine. By the time 1 had pushed in the throttle and reached for the air lever it had disap- peared.
 Was l dreaming? No, not that; for engineers don't dream in their cabs. Was I becoming superstitious CT Dervous? I concluded to let it go as imagination.
 "The next half dozen trips the same thing appeared. I was not supersti- tious, and I became more and more | determined to learn what it was Night after night, as I neared the end of the tunnel I would see the same thing. It would appear before me | like flash and fit along ahead, for an instant, and then as suddenly disap- | pear. It was very strange, to say the least, and while I became more or less accustomed to it, yet I was al ways on the lookout for it, as il seemed to have fascination, or an influence, about it. I had spoken o1 it to no one, even to my fireman, but concluded to say something to him, SC asked:
 John, have you ever seen anything unusual, as we go east, in No. A?
 "'Yes, he replied, I confess have seen, or imagined have seen, that fig ure in white that we struck
 There was little consolation, or ex | planation, in that for me, so dropped the subject. I said no more to an! one, but during the next month I dit lot of thinking. for not a single tril did we go east, but what this figure fl white would glide out of No. ahea, of us.

 Keeping the houses perfectly clean and cheery, So that good health may be maintained and that lice may be discouraged in making their head quarters about the premises.
 If you commence to pick the feath. CTS immediately after killing the bird, you will find that they will pull many times easier than they do if you leave them even for a little while.
 The larger breeds make Up in pounds what they oftentimes miss in laying eggs.
 Never exposing the fowls to blus- tery, snowy weather, remembering that cold, uncomfortable hen cannot be expected to be profitable. There fore the houses must be of generous size.
 If these warnings are carefully needed there will be no difficulty in securing winter eggs. Hens have no particular laying season; they usual ly lay best in warm weather, because conditions are better.

Facts Concerning Cost of Production.

That the average Oklahoma cotton per acre on his cotton crop is shown by the statistical data in the biennial report of the Oklahoma state board Of agriculture, which has just been placed in the hands of the printer. The figures on the cost of producing cotton are furnished by F. W. Gist, special agent of the United States Department of Agriculture, and pub llShed by special permission of Sec retary Wilson. The figures On cotton production in detail are as follows: Cost of preparation of land per acre, S1.4O; cost of planting per acre, $65c; cost of cultivating, $338; cost of pick ing, S5.23; cost of ginning, etc., S2.57; total cost per acre, $12.25; receipts per acre for lint and seed, $21.76; profit, $9.55. From the profit is to be deducted the rental value of the land, which is shown to be S3, S5.4O, or 30 cents per acre, according 70 whether cash rental or part of the crop is paid, 30 cents being the aver age rental paid on school lands. The average yield per acre is shown to be 634 pounds of seed cotton, the cost per pound, 2.15 cents, and the re- ceipts per pound, BAY cents, giving an average profit of 1.32 cents per pound The yield of lint from seed is shown to be 31.76 per cent.

more adequate protection to the fed eral forests.
 Chief Pinchot tells congress of the vast work accomplished by his bureau in 1908.
 For the administration and protec- ton of the 1S2 national forests in IT | states and territories and Alaska the government spent $2,526,09S or about 1@cents an acre.
 Permanent improvements, including the construction of 3,400 miles of | trails, 100 miles of wagon roads, 3,200 miles of telephone lines, $50 cabins and barns, 600 miles of pasture and drift fences, 250 bridges and 40 miles of fire lines cost $592, 16919.
 Last year the receipts from the sales of timber grazing fees and permits for special use of forest resources amounted to $1,S42, ,2S1.S7 an increase of $271, ,22243 over the 1907 figures. The per acre receipts from the na- tional forests were little more than one cent
 In addition, the national forests ylSluSu uedNlly lO lue puullC III liCO use. There were SOFIA permits | granted for the free use of timber by settlers, schools and churches during the year, against 1899 in 1907.
 The grazing receipts for 1908 were | 1862, ,S2940, and were paid by the hold CTS of 19,S45 permits to graze 1,3S2,221 cattle, horses and hogs, and of 4,2S2 permits to graze 7,0S7,11 sheep and | goats.
 The total receipts from timber sales | each year since the national forests have been under the administration of the forest service have been as fol lows: In 1905, $60,13662; 1906, $245.- 013.49; 1907, $66S,813.12; 1908, $S49, | O2724.
 About 100000 trees were planted | last year on forests in the states of | Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Cal ifornia. There are now growing at the | planting stations over 2,200,000 trees which will be ready for planting this year. Sufficient seed was sown in the | spring of 1908 to produce 4,600,000 seedlings.

Alaskan Copper for Future.

Alaska gives promise of becoming in time large producer of copper. The
 Bonanza mine in Montana has an ore
 body 300 feet wide. which was cut at depth of 225 feet by cross-cut tunnel, in which there is 12O feet of ore averaging 22 per cent. copper, the middle 25 feet being almost pure cop per glance running from 60 to 70 per cent. of copper and 28 ounces of sil. yer a ton. This is probably one of the greatest showings of copper in North America, but the property is over 100 miles from railroad transportation, so that it will be years before this COD. per can possibly come on the market.

In Many instances He Has a Mis-
 taken Idea of City Life.
 The great trouble with country boys is that they are not aware of the cir, cumstances under which the city boy is compelled to live and work if he has to earn his living by the sweat of his brow. The idea held up to the country boy is to go to town and So-and-so has How many of them do it? Not one in a thousand. Far more go there to find work in some close, stagnant mill, to sweat amid the fumes of steam or tobacco smoke, or perhaps in some iron mill or foun- dry, surrounded by the curses of their fellow men. toll out weary day ot eleven CT thirteen hours and after the day is over go homeland to such a homei Up some little back street in a bandbox built of brick and named a house more than likely our workman has bis home, there to pass away the weary hours of the night amid the heat and stagnation of probably filthy street only few feet wide, hot, close and dirty. In any large city on some sultry night one may see the workmen and their families in these little narrow city streets stretched about the steps and pavements in all conditions. These are not slums either, but fairly re- spectacle neighborhoods.
 To such a condition of life, many of our country boys have gone, and many more are today preparing to go. Fat pay and big pay envelopes? Not in these times. If our city labor CT averages SIP a week he is lucky man. Tens of thousands get less rather than more. Country boy, be- fore you make the change, in the name of that country you have been taught to hold in reverence, look and do not leap! If you understand farming there are just as many chances on the land to be worked out as there are in the city.
 This is a great country, and if you do not like the kind of farming you are working at there are many oth- CTS. If you belong to family that follows the grind, grind system of all work and no play, when you reach your majority and start for yourself follow out an easier system Do not condemn country life just because you have been unfortunate enough to be brought up in the home of a man who knows nothing but grind. Do not overlook the fact that if such man was your boss in the city he would grind your life away. Long, long before you were twenty-one years old you would be occupying some six feet of green turf, where at last you would not hear the dreaded call and curse of the boss.
 Country life may not be and prob ably is not what many would like to color it; but, all things being equal, it is far preferable to city life. That is just where it comes in. City life is never compared with country life VII oh SquetI ploAS. helueilDeT JHd ii you must work in the country for living you will have to work in the city for one, too, and if you possess the ability in yourself to rise above the ordinary workmen in the city that same ability will carve out a home for you in the country. Look before you leap, consider all things, and if you are sure you can better yourself in the city, go; if not, stay on the old farm.

Rice Growing Is Profitable.

Rice threshing has been going on in Texas for the last two months snd is now practically finished The crop is confined to the upper gulf coast region, and is comparatively a New industry. It is conservatively esti, mated that the rice yield in Iexas this year is approximately 2,000,0O0,- sacks. Each sack contains four bush els. The price per sack early in the season was $375, but it has since dropped to $325. The United States production of rice last year was in- sufficient to meet the home demand, and 100000 sacks had to be i'm ported It is said that the average cost of production is a little more than $1 a sack. This leaves a nice margin of profit ranging from $40 to $60 per acre for the planter.

The timber supply of the United States is fast fading away. Every working day sees the cutting of 100,- 900 acres of our forests, perhaps 3O,- 100000 acres per year, and we have less than 700.G00,OOO acres in all. The future timber supply, particu- larly hard wood timber, will be the one greatest economic problem the next generation will be called upon to solve.
