Dawson Visits Hubbard.

Representative Hubbard is at his home
in Wheeling nursing sore foot, due
to erysipelas. He entertained one day
this week ex-Gov. Dawson, who came up
from Charleston to talk over the situa-
ton.
At the conclusion of the visit Dawson
announced that Hubbard would stick in
the race to the end, despite his successive
defeats, and that large part of the
third congressional district would sup
port him. Incidentally Dawson denied
that he was a senatorial candidate.
Dawaon's reference to the third dis
trict means that the five delegates from
Kanawha, possibly the state senator and
two of the delegates from Fayette. will
support Hubbard as against Scott. There
was no primary vote on the senatOrship
contest in these counties, because the
Dawson organizations there in control
did not want any.
Hubbard's organization has gone to
pieces in the counties where he met de-
feat. His determination to keep up the
contest is regarded as rejecting his de-
sire TO bring about the election of some
down-state man. Dawson preferably, or
next to him Isaac T. Mann, notwith-
standing Mann is Scott man.
Gossip of Hubbard's Plans.
Hubbard's intimates say Hubbard hopes
to be able 10 defeat Elkins two years
hence on a geographical argument, if he
can effect Scotts defeat this time
through the election of man from the
southern section. There are all kinds OF
stories ahoat that Hubbard ccntemplates
combination with the democratic mem
bers.

Amused the Beliboys.

1t Is one of the standing rules at the
big hotels that, no matter what acct
dents befall a guest, the bellboys are
not to laugh, says the New York Sun.
1t is hard rule to observe and was
particularly so in one of the big hotels
near Forty-second street and Broad.
way the other night.
A man in evening dress with a
monocle dangling on his vest had
been parading up and down the lobby
with two men. They stopped just un-
der a brilliant chandelier and the
guest took out a case and offered
cigars to his companions.
He looked approvingly at his cigar
and lit a match on the sole of his
SHOE Then he held the match to the
cigar until the latter began to glow
and then-he carefully dropped the
cigar in the spittoon and put the ex-
tinguished match in his mouth.
If all the dodgers in the house had
been pushing their call buttons at
once there couldn't have been a quick
er exodus of bellrOys.

Makinq Salt Lake Fresh.

A remarkable engineering feat is be-
ing considered in Utah, the aim being
to convert a portion Of Salt lake into
a body of fresh water. This is an an
cient dream long deemed impossible
of fulfilment, but the present plan
gives promise Of proving successful.
If it is, then will be witnessed a trans
formation as complete as has ever
been seen upon the wastes Of the
west, where irrigation has converted
barren deserts into fruitful gardens.
The plan of the engineers Is to build
a dam across the eastern extremity
Of the lake where the principal streams
that feed the body flow in. This dam
is to be several feet higher than the
present water level and the design is
to divide the lake into two parts. The
theory is that the water will flow into
the first lake, rise to level with the
dam, and then tumble into the other
section The water In the first division
will retain it's freshness, while that
In the lower lake will continue to be
briny as at present. If the plan proves
successful it is believed that the terri
tory adjacent to the lake can be made
highly attractive, giving it infinite pos
sibilities as a summer resort.

Uniuue Old French VILLAGE.

Lying so much off the beaten track,
the village of Port Lesne in the Jura
de .tment Of France is visited by
but few from the outside world, and
consequently this tiny community Of
men and women of color is but little
known. 1t is not large village, for
it's inhabitants number but little more
than a hundred, but every one is
either black, or of copper color or
palish yellow. 1t owes its origin to
the fact that about a century ago the
famous negro chief, Toussaint-L' Ouv-
erture, was brought from Hayti and
imprisoned in Fort de Joux. Many
of his friends, all negroes. followed
him and encamped near his prison
on the bank of the little river Loue.
From that encampment grew the vii
lage of Port Lesne, and when Tous-
saint-L Ouverture died more than a
hundred years ago his friends decided
to remain In France. The passing of
years and intermarriages have trans
formed the settlement into French
village of colored folk, all Of whom
have the vote. Port Lesne is thus
probably the most unique spot in all
France.

MANY HARD WORDS TO SPELL
Statewide Spelling Test to Be Con-

Next Winter.

E. G.. Bunnell, assistant state super

of preparing for the statewide spell
ing test for next winter among the pu-
pills of the common and high schools
of the state, has prepared list of
100 words to be used by the best spell
er in every school in the state, from
these to select the best in the town
ship, town or city, from these the best
in the county, and with the pupils thus
selected to form the class for the
state test, says the indianapolis News
If arrangements can be made, the best
spoilers in the state will hold con-
test with the best spoilers from other
states.
The 100 words chosen by Mr.. Bun
nell have been selected from list Of
words commonly misspelled, and the
list is designed to give the pupils an
idea of the nature of the test. All the
words selected probably will be used

a regular salary of $4,000 to $4,000, or

however, is about the end of possible

Government Dam In the Hudson.

The dam which the United States
government is planning to construct
at Troy across the Hudson river will
wipe out a number of factories and
mills in that region By using water
power. The head furnished by the
dam will be utilized to generate about
6,000-horse power, and this will be sold
to the mills and factories at cost.
However, the companies will be re-
quired to pay the cost of building the
power house. It is estimated that the
amount of power utilized will be three
times as much as has heretofore been

"CANDLE TREE" OF PANAMA
Undoubtedly One of Wonders OF Veg
etabe Kingdom Known as Par
mentiera Cerifera.

One Of the wonders of the vegetable
kingdom is undoubtedly the Candle
tree" of Panama, known to botanists
as Parmentiera cerifera. This tree,
saws Prof. H. F. Macmillan in the
Strand Magazine, produces from its
stem and older branches a great pro-
fusion of yellowish, cylindrical, smooth
fruits, IL to 10 inches long, which ap-
pear exactly like wax candles, as the
botanical name implies. So close Is
this resemblance that travellers, seeing
the tree for the first time, are liable
to be temporarily puzzled as to wheth'
er the candles of shops are made in
factories or grown on trees. The can
dle-like fruits are suspended from the
branches and bare stems by short,
slender stalks; dangling in the air,
they readily give the impression of the
chambers shop. AS night falls, and
the numerous flre-fl1es move among
the fruit, the impression is intensified.

CUTTING IRON BY ACETYLENE
Intense Heat Has Recently Been USED
In Marvellous Tool, Results Seem.
ing Like Magic.

Most of our young folks have seen
pictures projected on a screen by an
oxyhydrogen "limelight" tstereopticon.
In this double magic lantern a
bright light is produced by the in
tense heat of burning oxygen and by.
drogen together against small cylin-
der of lime. The heat makes the lime
shine very brightly. on the same
principle that a piece Of, iron CLOVIS
when the blacksmith takes it from
his forge. Though this familiar form
of burning gases is very hot, it is far
excelled in heat by burning acety.
lene "a gas) in oxygen.
This intense heat has recently been
used in a marvellous tool, the results
of which seem almost If not quite
like magic. The Davis-Bournonville
company has perfected a torch that
burns oxygen and acetylene together
and makes it convenient to apply this
intense heat to cutting off or welding
iron.
Running this penlike flame across a
thick sheet of iron melts a very mar
row strip and cuts it off about as you
might cut a sheet of ice with red
hot poker It will also melt the edges
Of two sheets or blocks Of iron and
enable a mechanic to fasten them to-
gether easily. Huge iron castings
that have been broken may be re-
paired by running the fame around
the edges of the fracture and stick

chanical point of view the possible
uses of this new tool are very many.

DRESSING UP.

It is for other folk I wear
The ribbon that is on my hair.
For they can see it. fresh and bright,
Although for me it's out of sight.

But other folk will have the chance
To see it while I gayly dance.
It's just the same way with my curls.
I think It's kind of little girls
To dress as nicely as can be
