The Electric Fan.

Back in the early eighties DIR. s. s.
Wheeler. an electrical engineer OF New
York. was experimenting with small
electric motor. In the course of his ex
periments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity If the propellers could
be directly connected to high speed
electric motors. doing away with all
the gears then in use in steam propul-
sion. With this idea in mind he had
small screw propeller constructed and
fastened it to the armature shaft of
his small motor. To his surprise the
experiment resulted in fine breeze of
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimenter, for the day was de-
cidedly hotA 1t is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there. and the engineer
took up the study of the electric fan.
with the result that he soon perfected
the device until it was commercial
success.

lieve it does as much for me as my

friends succeeded in Tersuathng him
to get his hair cut according to the pre-

year he wrote in his diary: This day
my hair sacrificed and the will of God
usurped by the wishes of man. As the
barber clipped my locks rapidly it re-

Betrothals In Germany,

In Germany an elaborate method of
announcing the betrothal practically
puts an end to all breach Of promise
cases. AS soon as couple become
engaged the pair visit the town hall
and declare their willingness to marry
and sign. with witnesses. a series of
documents which render a change Of
mind on the mans part practically out
of the question. When either party
wishes to withdraw from this agree
ment the pair again visit the town hall
and additional documents are formally
signed, witnessed and sealed. The au-
thorities then determine the question
of compensation for injured feelings.

BATTLES WITH L0cUsTs.
In 17a0 an Army Was Arraysd Against

Since the days Of the pharaohs the
locust has been an unmitigated plague
Pliny relates that in many places in
Greece law obliged the inhabitants
to wage war against the insects three
times a year.. e., in their various
states Of egg, larvae and adult.
In 1749 locusts stopped the army of
Charles XII. king of Sweden. as it was
retreating from Bessarabia after its
defeat at Poltava The king at first
imagined that be was being assailed
by terrific hailstorm.
In Pennsylvania in 1850 the rayages
or the locusts assumed such disastrous
proportions that the army had actually
to be called out to deal with the pests.
and whole regiments of soldiers were
employed gathering them up and put
ting them into sacks.

Tho Name Noah.

Not many persons are sufficiently ac-
quainted with the Bible to know that
Noah was the name of a woman as
well as of the patriarch. At an inquest
in England a female witness gave her
Christian name as Noah" The coro-
ner remarked that he had never before
known a woman to bear the name.
whereupon the witness. who was well
posted in the origin of her singular
prenomen. said:
1T is Bible name. sir; you'll find it
in the last chapter of the book of Num-
bers."
Reference was duly made. and in
the eleventh verse Of the thirty sixth
chapter the coroner found mention
made of 'Mahlah, Tirzah and Hoglah
and Micah and Noah, the daughters Of
Zelophehad."

The Waterway Wonders of This I'm

Were the rivers not navigable there

Alaska today. First used by the pros
pector in his polling boat and the trad
er with his little steamer. they have
become the means of opening up every
camp that has been struck in the in
terror of Alaska.
The Yukon is very shallow at it's
mouth. which is about seventy miles
In width across its delta. There are
places 400 miles from the mouth of
the river where the biggest Atlantic
liners could navigate with ease, for
there are soundings which show nine
ty foot channel in a mile wide river
The Yukon is navigable for 2. 100 miles.
The kuskoquim. sister stream, has
been navigated only on the lower
reaches. hut with it's navigable branch
es is believed to have 1000 miles of
navigable water. The Tanana has
been assembled for 500 miles and the
Koyukuk in excess of that figure
Scores of other streams can be used
by small steamers for from twenty-five
to 200 miles. Altogether it is safe to
say there are 5000 miles of navigable
streams in Alaska. The Yukon opens
for navigation the latter part of May
and closes the latter part of October.
But with all it's wealth of gold, it's

$4,000 Damages for Deaths.

Washington, d. c., Oct. l0-PoSt-

representative of any postal clerk
who is killed while on duty will be
paid $1,000.
Heretofore the compensation al
lowed was $1,000. The new regula-
ton applies in the case of an employee
who is injured and whose death re-
suits within year.
Mr.. Hitchcock, in making this
change, was governed by his knowl-
edge of the great risk incurred by
railway postal clerks, and his con-
viction that 81 900 is inadequate dam
ages for those left destitute by the
death of a clerk.

James D. Barnett, the bachelor
Judge Of Montgomery City, has
formulated a proposed divorce law
under which persons would not be
permitted to marry for at least two
years after being divorced. The rea-
soning by which the plan is support
ed starts with the premise that when
the marital tie is sundered by death
the survivor of the union seldom
thinks of remarrying before two
years have passed" Therefore those
sundered by the courts should wait
two years. But supposing the bache.
lor Judge should find that his premise
was erroneous and that widows and
widowers didn't on an average wait
nearly as long as two years, what
dlbecome of the showing he
makes? Republic.
