HIS GREAT IDEA.

The Tin PIated Tomato and the Moral
 That Goes With It.
 A good theory that won't work isn't half as good as a poor one that will
 Twenty years ago a young man just out of college had great idea. He was going to tin plate tomatoes. There was to be no more troublesome pairing and cooking and canning to preserve tomatoes throughout winters. It would be necessary only to drop a nice ripe tomato into his timing solution and 1t would come out coated with tin and would keep for twenty years. In fact, there wasn't any reason why it should not keep forever! The young inventor figured it would cost him 50 cents a gallon to make this timing solution. It surely would sell for $2 gallon. Every one eats tomatoes-that is. near ly every one. Everybody would eat them if they could always have a nice tin plated tomato lying around. He ought to sell million gallons a year. That would be profit of million and half dol- Well, no tin plated toma- toes are on the market yet and the man who invented them is still making only $15 week.
 The moral of this is that whenever you hear of great idea that is going to reform or uplift the world make sure that it is not of the tin plated tomato brand.-Chicago Tribune.

RIVERS OF ALASKA.
The Waterway Wonders of This i'm
 mense Territory.

The Waterway Wonders of This im-
 mense Territory.
 Were the rivers not navigable there would be little done in the interior of Alaska today. First used by the pros pector in his polling boat and the trad CT with his little steamer, they have become the means of opening up every camp that has been struck in the in- terior of Alaska.
 The Yukon is very shallow at its mouth. which is about seventy miles in width across it's 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 a nine ty foot channel in mile wide river. The Yukon is navigable for 2, 100 miles The KuskoQuim, sister stream, has been navigated only on the lower reaches, but with its navigable branch es is believed to have 1000 miles of navigable water. The Tanana has been ascended for 100 miles and the Keyukuk in excess of that figure. Scores of other streams can be used by small steamers for from twenty-five to POO miles. Altogether 1t fs 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 unheard call to toilers of the soil. its mountains studded with gems of rich es-the lodes of veins of copper and other materials-this empire starves for the one thing that would make it thrive.-Colliers.

ARTISTS EMBLEMS.
in WhistIer's Butterfly Could Be Found
 the Monogram j. ".

In WhistIer's Butterfly Could Be Found
 the Monogram J. ".
 The mystic emblem or device of . sort of Whistlerized butterfly was adopted in the sixties by the eccentric genius James Abbott Whistler, who changed bis name later to James Mo Neill Whistler
 Close study will reveal that this pc culiar scroll is really monogram of J. W. The earliest of the etchings to bear the butterfly is Chelsea Wharf' 1S63). but many paintings and etch- ings after that date are signed "Whis- tler.''
 Artists have sometimes signed their pictures in some distinct form instead of their names. It generally was done when the name might suggest some emblem or symbol
 Thus Hieronymus Cock demarked two fighting cocks on his panels; Mari two interlaced rings. referring to the sacerdotal duties to which at one time of his life he devoted himself; Martin Rota, a wheel: Pieter de Ryng. a ring with a diamond; Giovanni Dossi, a bone; Del Mazo Martinez. hammer; Lionello Spada. sword.
 Sometimes caprice dictated the selec- ton, as when Jacopo de Barberi used the caduceus. or Mercury rod; Hendrix de Bles an owl. Lucas Cranach a crowned serpent. Cornelius Engel- brechtsen peculiar device resembling a weather vane and Hans Holbein a skull.

The Name Noah.

Not many persons are sufficiently ac- quainted with the Bible to know that Noah was the name of 6 woman as well as of the patriarch. At an inquest in England 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:
 'It 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-s ixth chapter the coroner found mention made of "Mahlah. Tirzah and Hoglah and Milcah and Noah. the daughters of Zelophehad."

is the locust. The general color scheme of his body Is a kind of indefinite green, relieved bys pink legs and wings of whitish color. Two huge, blank, unmeaning eyes give an expression of utter fmbecility to the insects counte- nance.
 To atone fn measure for their de- struct1ve prociivities the locusts are edi- ble. The Arabs are particularly fond of them. Camels, to which they are given after being dried and roasted between two layers of ashes, look upon locusts as great delicacies.
 The flavor resembles that of crabs, and in Bagdad they are consumed 50 extensively as to affect tho price of meat.-Sray Stories.

BATTLES WITH LOcUSTS.
in 17eo an Army Was Arrayed Against
 tho Ravaging Pests.

In 17eo an Army Was Arrayed Against
 the Ravasing Pests.
 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 year-i. 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 it's defeat at Poltava. The king at first imagined that he was being assailed by terrific hailstorm.
 In Pennsylvania in 17SO the ravages of 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.

BetrothaIs 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. 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, etc.

If you listen to the note of the
average brewer You wonld think he
was a philanthropist confering a
great boon upon mankind by being
a large employer of labor, but
don't lose sight of this ali-import-
ant truth when you hear that note
that the manufacture Of beer
is purely question of profits with
the brewer. not philauthrophy. If
the profits of the liquor business
were to suddenly cease every
brewery and distiIIery in the coun
try would shut down at once and
the labor employed there would be
invited to seek jobs elsewhere by
the millionaire brewers and dis
tillers. Don't be fooled by the
talk that booze must be produced
to take care of labor and furnish a
market for the farmers products.
