The Fate Of Explorers.

In a recently published autobiog-
raphy of the late Henry M. Stanley
the famous African explorer dwells
with much bitterness on the unkind
and ever cruel reception given him
by distinguished men of science on
his return from the Dark Continent.
What was my reward?" he asks, and
continues: "Resolute devotion to a

In driving over the country
you will occasionally see, espec-
tally in Russian neighborhoods,
large piles of barnyard manure
cut into stove wood blocks and
stacked into ricks like hay, which
the settlers use as fuel instead of
coal. This is considered econo
my. Another farmer here last
season spread this sort of cheap
fuel over a forty acre field and
harvested five bushels to the acre
than he did off his untreated land.
This land will not need fertilizing
again for seven or eight years
and will show better results every
year than it did the first. The
first method is false economy.
The second method is the only
possible way at the present time
to keep Dakota land producing
what it should. A farmer who
understands his business will
make his land produce more with
less labor every year.-Ex.

Economics and the Family

"
To regard the family as wholly or
as fundamentally an. economic fact,
as though it were a commercial ar
rangement or a piece Of property to
be bought or bartered, is to enter
the high road to domestic instability
and disruption. Back Of all the
economic considerations which have
consolidated the. family lie the nor;
NAL and permanent instincts of
human love. The family is an ethi-
cal fact not the less. than an eco
nomic fact. 1t is the object Of the
sweetest sacrifices and" the happiest
self-forgetfulness. The family is the
primer in the moral education Of the
race, and the issue which the present
crisis In the history Of the family
represents is precisely. the issue be.
tween the economic and the moral
aspect Of the family. Shall domestic
life be regarded as q trade, or shall
it be regarded as an ideal?-Prof. r.

Social Question" ~ = 81 AZ -:

BIGGER GUNS IN OUR NAVY
Reduction Gear Being Perfected
Which Is Aimed to Transform Mod.
ern Marine Architecture.

Pittsburg, Pa.-"The reduction gear
invented by Rear Admiral Melville,
John H. McAlpine and George West
inghouse is expected to result in arm
ing the United States navy with A.
inch guns instead of 12-inch guns,
which are now carried" said a per-
sonal representative Of George West
inghouse, and It came out later that
for some time a representative of the
navy has been at the Westinghouse
shops watching the tests of a new re-
duction gear for turbines, which is ex.
pscted to transform ocean craft by re-
ducing the weight Of engine room
equipment.
Within the past week a representa-.
tive OF the British government visited
East Pittsburg and looked over the
models to make a report to the Brit.
ish navy.
The Westinghouse interests at Pitts.
burg decline positively to give any de-
tailed description of the new gear.

there are some things which they have
been obliged to withhold even from
the navy experts. They admit that by
the e Invention it is hoped the tur.
b1nes on ocean going vessels which
have made up a great portion of the
weight will be greatly reduced in size
and weight and still do more effective
work.
The lighter machinery on a battle
ship will permit additional displace-
ment to be given over to the heavier
guns, according to othe ideas of the
Westinghouse people.
A saving of at least $4,000, 900 In
the construction of the heavier ocaan
liners is also claimed.

CHINESE CORN IN SOUTHWEST
Small Lot Sent to United States De.
partment Of Agriculture Con-
sidered Excellent.

Washington.-A small lot of shelied
corn, Of a kind that is new to this
country, was sent to the United States
department of agriculture from Shang-
hal, China, in 1908, and tested the
same season. 1t proved to have quail
ties that may make it valuable in
breeding a corn adapted to the hot
and dry conditions of the southwest.
The plants raised in the test aver
aged less than six feet In height, with
an average of ~ green leaves at the
INT OF tasseling. The ears averaged
five and one-half inches in length and
four and one-third inches in greatest
circumference, with 16 to is rows of
small grains.
Ihls corn is very different from any
mat ls now produced in America. Its
peculiar value is that the erect ar
rangement of the leaves on one side
OF ne stalk and the appearance of
the silks in the angle where the leaf
blade joints the sheath offer a pro.
tected place In which pollen can set
tie and fertilize the silks before the
latter are ever exposed to the air.
This Is an excellent arrangement for
preventing the drying out of the silks
before p%ollination. While this corn
may be of little value itself, it is
likely that, by cross-breeding, these
desirable qualities can be impaired to
a larger corn, which will thus be bet
ter adapted to the southwest.
The discovery Of this peculiar corn
IN China suggests anew the idea that
although America is the original home
OF corn, yet it may by some means
nave been taken to the eastern hem.
1sphere long before the discovery of
America by Columbus. From descrtp.
lions in Chinese literature corn is
known to have been established in
China within less than a century aft
'er the voyage of Columbus. But this
seems a short time for any plant to
nave become widely known and used.
Besides, this particular corn Is so diff
ferent from anything in the new
world that it must have been de-
:veloped in the old world, and for that
to happen in a natural way would
take a very long time.

hen LAYS TWO EGGS DAILY
Delaware Fowl Has Record Of Three

New Strain.

Wilmington, Del.-Although poultry
raisers all over the country, after long
years OF experimenting in the breed
Ing OF poultry for increased egg pro-
duction, have failed to produce q hen
that will lay more than one egg q
day. yet Lilbourne Martin Of this city,
Is the proud p~ossessor Of q hen which
not only occasionally lays two eggs

eggs within "a hours.
Persons who have had long expert.
snce In poultry raising who heard Of
wonderful performances Of the hen
were at first inclined to doubt that the
hen had actually laid two eggs a day.

no hen in any Of the contests evsr laid
two eggs a day.
The hen owned BY young Martin 10
the only n kept by him, and It Is
confined In the yard in the rear Of
tho house by itself, 20 that the eggs
could not have been laid by any other
han. The truthfulness Of the family
has never been doubted by the resi-.
dents Of the western side of the city.
The hen is a little more than q year

tin last summer, having been given to
him by a relative. The hen was quite
small at the time. and he first thought
1t was a bantam. but It kept growing
until when full grown It resembled q
black minorca in both size and color.
It Is quite a pet and answers to the
name Of Snowfall.
Young Martin used no special
method Of feeding In forcing the hen
to lay. Persons experienced in poul-
try raising say that by breeding this
hen along with heavy laying fowls a
new strain might eventually be de-
veloped which would break all previ-
u egg records.
Common hens often lay less than
mi hundred eggs in a year; 200 egg
hens are scarce; some breeders have
hens that lay 240 eggs q year. A

three In "a hours during the periods
of a year that they were laying, might
go as far above these figures.

WOMEN OF PAGAN IRELAND
The Property Rights Of Wives Were
Recognized Before the Advent
OF st. Patrick.

The pagan Irish were fierce and
proud, but at the same time remark
ably just and pure. Those who wish
to verify this statement have only to
look up the old Brehen laws. the leg.
tslative code that obtained in, Erin
long before and long after the advent
of st. Patrick. =
These laws with very few ;, excep.
lions were found good enough to gov.
ern the land after the reception Of
Christianity. St. Patrick saw moth
Ing to change in them, except the re.
ligious features bearing on the, old
Druidic worship. For. the rest, he left
them as he found them, and they con-
tinued to be the legal guide of the
Irish nation eve down to the seven
teenth century.
Among their most noteworthy fea-
lures are their sense of justice and
fair play and their eminently high re
gard for the domestic relationship
rights of women, the mutual protec.
ton of husband and wife, the recipro-
cal duties of parents and children,
etc. By way of proof or illustration,
we give a passage from the Senchus
Nor: Z. rs. = -.
I'm the connection of equal prop,
erty If with equal land and
cattle and household stun. and If
their marriage be equally free and
lawful. the wife in this case is called
the wife of equal rank. The contract
made by either party is not a lawful
contract without the consent of the
other, except in cases: of contracts
tending equally to the welfare of both.
. Each Of the two parties has
the power to give rejection and feast
according to their respective dignity"
In case Of separation ample pro-
vision was always made for the wife's
future. If, for instance, her portion
at the time of marriage was equal to
that of her husband she was entitled
to half of the property which they
held at the time of separation. If the
whole property belonged originally to
the husband she received one-third at
the separation. II. it was all her own
before marriage she took two.thirds.

SULLIVAN MISSES HIS GUESS
Prediction as to Court House Strike
,so roe Fails to Happen,
MEN REESE TO QUIT WORK
Members of Unions that Are Not d.
rectIy Concerned Are said to
Be Creating the Strike
Agitation.

Dan Sullivans prediction that there
would not be a union man at work on the
new court house Monday failed to mater
ialize. Although a strike was urged by
the Central Labor Union last Friday night,
not a union man left the job Monday
morning, and the striking iron workers
and engineers have failed to get the sup
port of other union men on the job.
With the failure of this attempt at
strike there is considered little danger of
walk-out for some time to come. The
union men now at work have conclusively
proven that they do not favor strike,
and their refusal to follow the lead of the
Central Labor Union literally puts them
on record as favoring other means of set
ting their difficulties with the contractors
1t seems that the strike vote was made
principally by the unions at present not
directly interested in the court house work.
None Of the unions having members at
work, so far as can be learned, voted TO
strike, leaving the blame to be placed on
| the shoulders Of agitators belonging to
| other organizations.

Identified.

Louis Binogrod, 1880 South Thirteenth

places in the city.
1t is alleged that some time ago Binogrod
entered the Midland hotel and stole three

the Belmont hotel he stole three suits and
two overcoats, and on May II he lifted
an overcoat, grip, watch chain and a few
other things from w. H. Brand, at 31z4

Andrews Falls
Hundred Feet
From Balloon
Daredevil" Aeronaut Saved from
Death by Intervention of
Branches of Trees.

Only the Intervention Of the branches of
a large cottonwood tree saved Daredevil
Andrews from death in fall Of 100 feet
from his balloon late yesterday at Lake
Manawa
The thousands who saw the wonderful
escape stood thrilled and breathless until
the fearless balloonist was found to be I'M
harmed. To queries as to his condition,
he said cooly: u am all right"
At the time Of the ascension a stiff breeze
was blowing, but its velocity near the
ground did not appear to be sufficient to
preclude a flight. Andrews rose hanging
to the big gas bag to a height OF about
100 feet. At this point 1t was struck by a
powerful current of air which tore rent
in 1t forty feet long. The huge balloon fell
together and Tapping from side to side
fell swiftly toward the ground.
Andrews, making use Of his parachute,
cut loose from the useless and dangerous
canvas. For some distance he fell like a
rocket and 1t looked as II there was no
possible escape for him. The force Of the
fall was somewhat broken however, by the
parachute He dropped Into the branches
of a large cottonwood tree. The parachute
was caught in the branches and the intrepid
Andrews was saved. He was uninjured with
the exception of some scraNcnes and bruises
from contact with the branches of the
friendly tree.
During the brief space Of time occupied
by the accident many people became panic
stricken, running to and fro screaming in
fright, but the majority or those who sa W
the occurrence stood without a sound.

and crowbars and four men TO lift the load
of the wagon. In speaking of the close
call he had had, Mr.. Jensen stated there
were $50 bricks on the wagon. each OF
which weighed five pounds. 1t was the pc

stated
The police were notified and Surgeon
