SCOT DIED AT AGE OF ITO.
Remembered Celebration Over Wei
linqtons Victory at Waterloo.

James Grieve, believed to be the old
est man in Scotland, died at his dwell
ing, Coran-tee, Loeb Eckside, few
weeks ago. He was native of Inyer-
ness shire, where, according to his own
belief, he was born in the year 1900.
He fixed the date of his birth by his
recollections of Waterloo. He was
then a boy working in the fields, and
when the news of the victory arrived
he, along with his fellow laborers, par
ticipated in the general rejoicings. AT
that time he was fourteen or fifteen
years of age He maintained the use
Of his faculties almost up to the last
and was able to see and speak with
visitors till within few weeks ago.
Mr.. Grieve had spoken with men
who had seen Prince Charlie and had
heard his grandfather describe that
historic parsonage, and his own father
and his uncle had taken part In a
highland clan feud. For almost nine
ty-five years he worked as a shepherd
and even after he had retired from
continuous labor he continued to as
sist in the fields, taking turn at the
hay" as he phrased 1t.

Jap TRADE ALARMS ENGLAND
Tariff Barriers Enable Orientals to
Conpete at Great Profit

Japanese competition is making seri-
Gus inroads upon British industries,
handicapped as they are by free trade.
While British trade is booming, ac-
cording to the free trade importers.
japanese cheap litor is displacing
English produce In the hardware, cot
ton goods and dressmaking trades.
London west end shops today offer
French costumes made on the latest
French models and exquisitely work
ed, but made In Japan, at one-fourth
the cost for labor that would be paid
to English dressmakers. At other
shops can be bought dinner and tea
services modelled in Japan on the best
English ncnltcn and Minton designs
and perfectly turned out at one-third
the price of the genuine English goods,
and 1t is the same with cotton ma
terials.
Japan's new dudes on imported tex
tiles have struck terror into the hearts
of the Lancashire and Yorkshire soft
goods manufacturers. Between 20 and
80 per cent of the total imports Of
textile fabrics into Japan are from
England.

AIR RACE FROM PARIS
TO LONDON BY BERLIN
Sixty Thousand Dollars Offered by
French and German Papers.

An ambitious scheme is being ar
ranged by several newspapers in
France, Belgium and Germany-an
aerial race between Paris, Berlin,
Brussels, London and Paris. Prizes
amounting to $4,000 will be offered.
The proposed route Is from Paris.
along the valley of the Meuse to AK
la-Chapelle, thence by Dusseldorf,
Hanover, Brunswick and Magdeburg to
Berlin and, following the Elbe as far
as Hamburg, to return by Oldenburg
route would be along the Rhine,
through Holland to Rotterdam and
Brussels, on by Ostend and Lille to
Calais; then over to Dover and Lon
don, returning via Boulogne to Paris.
Notwithstanding the gigantic char
acter of the undertaking it is believed
that with the present progress of ayi-
alton the attempt will be possible be-
tween June and August, 1911.
Another cross channel flight is an
nounced for next July "A, this time
from Dover to Ostend and back. The
Royal Ostend Yacht club will have its
annual cross channel race for sailing
and motor yachts from Dover to Os-
tend. The distance is over sixty nau-
tical miles in a straight line. To mini

posed to start the aeroplanes some

CITY TO RUN AN ICE RINK.
Dubuque, la, to Utilize Harbor end
Furnish Chaperons.

Though Dubuque, Ia, Is on the Mis-
sissippi river and has one of the finest
harbors between New Orleans and St
Paul, there has been little or no Ice
skating in recent years. Several times
attempts to conduct private rink
have failed. principally owing to high
prices Of admission.
Alderman John O'Rourke plans to
utilize the whole Of the harbor, which
Is 1,4OO feet long and 900 feet wide.
AS soon as 1t is deemed advisable this
surface will be flooded from the city's
water system. thus giving 1t a surface
as smooth as glass.
Along the shores it Is proposed to
build shelters where skates may be
adjusted, where skaters may rest and
get warm and where they may have
their wraps checked. Policemen Will
be present at all times, and represent
atives Of the woman's clubs Of the
city will be assigned to regular duty

BIG STRIDE IN ILLUMINATION.

Predicted That Majority of AgricuI-
turaI Establishments In Sunflcwer
State Will Use Electricity In Ten
Years-River Furnishes Power For
All Businesses In Manhattan.
Within ten years electricity will light
majority of the farm homes and
country schools and churches of Kan
sas, it is predicted. Farm homes light
ed with electricity are now numbered
by hundreds
With the general use of the gasoline
engine this has been made possible.
Electric light and power companies in
several of the cities are also making
plans by which they can supply farm
ers with current from their trunk
lines. A notable case of this sort is
found at Manhattan, where the power
for electric generation is furnished by
dam on the Big Blue river, four
miles from the city.
River Power Lights Everything.
The current generated is used for
electric lighting and street car pur-
poses in the city of Manhattan, and
farmers living near the trunk line are
using IL ia their residences, barns and
feed lots. In the early morning hours
when the farmers feed and care for
their stock and do the milking cleo
tric lights are found to be very useful.
In a rich farming community ten
miles north of Atchison the farmers
have decided to have an electric light
plant of their own. They will build q
small power house where current will
be generated and from which it will
be carried into their homes. Fifteen
| families will share in this modern sys
tenn of lighting.
Several farmers living ten miles west
| of Atchison have small dynamoS or
their farms, providing electric light fol
| their homes, barns and dairy build
| ings. Recently the town of Troy, forty
| miles north of Atchison, contracted fol
| light from the Atchison plant.
| trunk line wire was stretched between
the two places, and now twenty-five
| farmers along the route are connecting
| their homes with this trunk line.
Cement Houses, Electric Lighting.
Far out in western Kansas the farm
ers are using electricity for lightin,
their homes. Near Garden City, whicl
a few years ago was in the center o.
| the great American desert, there ar,

SUBSTITUTES FOR RUBBER.
Two Found, but Time Required tc
Prove Usefulness

Rubber consumption has kept so
closely on the heels Of rubber produc-
ton and the price of the gum has risen
so rapidly In the last few years that
nothing could be more welcome to the
automobile man and the manufactures
Of rubber goods than the discovery of
synthetic rubber or some practicable
substitute for rubber in It's various

Within the last few months an
nouncement has been made in at least
two quarters that such substitutes had
been found, and, while time and exper-
iment will be required to determine
their usefulness. the formulas are in.

An English scientist, DR.. r. G..
Weichmann, has made a rubber from
the seeds of a South American palm
vegetable albumen, compounds 1t with
an animal albumen and a suitable SOL
vent and produces hard rubber which
has all the tensile strength and other
qualities Of rubber, except that 1t will
not stand tine action OF water and

This difficulty in turn has been over

WOMAN DIScOVERER OF
RADIUM UPSETS ACADEMY.
French Scientists Against Admission
OF Nine. Curie to Ranks.

Nine Curie's candidature for mem
ences has thrown that body into con
fusion. The tradition against women
members is strong. but so are Nine.
Curie's claims to sit as equal In any
body of scientists.
In their dilemma a number of mem.
bers of the FIVE academies. those of
Moral and Political Sciences, Fine Arts,
Sciences. Inscriptions and Bellies Let
tres and the Academic Francaise,
which form the institute, have drawn
up petition by which they hope to
prevent vote against Mime. Curie and
woman. The petition asks that the
Institute shall consider the question of
women as members at its next plenary
session on the ground that the ques-
ton affects all five academies and
therefore should not be decided by one
alone.
Nine. Curie is likely to be an acad-
emician before the French institute
settles the question, for the Academy
of Sciences of Stockholm, which
awards the Nobel prizes, has expressed
wish to enroll as a foreign member
the woman to whom the world owes
radium.
The question of women members of
the institute is not new one, the ira
dition against them having been pow
erful enough TO keep out George Sand
and Rosa Bonheur. Such opposition,
however, only dates from the founda-
ton of the institute as such in 1875.
Its forerunner, the Royal Academy
of Painting and Sculpture, included fif-
teen women members. The first of
these was Catherine Duchemin, a
painter of flowers. who became men,
Der in 1868; the last. Louise Elisabeth
