Old Prophecy Fulfilled.

Roger Bacon lived some 600 years
ago. He was a philosopher of the old
school and a wise man in his day and
generation. He was the author of the
present deductive system of philoso-
ply, and many ofDhe modern sciences
owe their foundation to his investiga-
ton and genius. He was not only a
scientist, but prophet as well. An
old English bool printed 400 years ago
records the following conversation as
having occurred with Bacon:
Fryer Bacon answered, Your grace
saith we'll; but let NEE (under- correC-
tom tell you, that art oftentimes doth
those things that are impossible to
armes, which l will make good in some
few examples. l will speak onely of
things performed by art and nature
wherein shall be nothing magical; and
first by the figuration of art, there may
be made instruments of navigation
without men to rowe in them, as great
ships to brooke the sea, only with one
man to steere them. and they shall
sayle far more swiftly than if they
were full of men; also chariots that
shall move with an unspeakable force,
without any living creature to stirre
them. Likewise, an instrument may
be made to fly with all, if one sit in
the midst of the instrument. and does
turn an engine, by which the wings
being artifcially composed, may beat
ayre after the manner of flying bird -
Here we have steamships, automo-
biles, trolley lines and flying machines
foreshadowed and described centuries
before they were actually invented.
Certes, Bacon must have been possess
ed of a wonderful mind to foresee
these things with his limited facilities
for investigation and research.

GOVERNMENT TO BUY
5000 TONS OF COAL
Engineers Preparing to Let Contracts
for Seasons Supply of
Fuel.

The United States engineers Of
fee here is preparing to award coal
contracts after consideration of bids
presented by a number of large COM
panies during a spirited contest.
Wide spread advertising of the fact
that thousands of tons of coal were
to be bought caused considerable
competition, the result being that the
prices quoted in the bids were low
in the majority of cases, and the
government will be able to secure
considerable fuel at bargain prices.
The Shoal Greek Coal company of
Chicago, of which Frank P. Blair is
president, was the lowest bidder in
almost every instance and as a re-
suit will secure the majority of con-
tracts to furnish coal to the govern
ment. Fred Young, of the Central
Illinois Coal company, was the Chi
cago cOmpany's representative before
the United States engineers.
From this company the govern
ment office has decided to purchase
mine run as follows:
For use of fleet in Moline harbor,
5000 tons at $2.35 a ton, loaded on
the barges.
For use of governments boats at
Moline and Rock Island, 1000 tons
at $2.35 a ton loaded on barges.
For fleet at Keithsburg, 1000 tons
$2.25 per ton. undelivered.
For Des Moines rapids, 5000 tons.
The above mentioned contracts
represent the coal that will be used
during the present season in those
divisions of the upper Mississippi riv-
er district that are in charge of En-
gineers Bassett, MCElherne and
Meigs. The Shoal Greek company
will also furnish 1900 tons of coal
for use of boats in Engineer Rich
ards division at a cost of $2.41 per
ton. Competition for these contracts
was spirited. Four companies made
bids for the Richards contract and
none of them asked a price higher
than $3.50 per ton.

Pure blood contains the proper
amount of red and white corpuscles to
insure perfect health in man, woman
or child. When there is a lack of
these corpuscles, the blood becomes
thick, sluggish and poisonous-doesn't
furnish correct nourishment to the
vital organs-lcads to Indigestion,
constipation, skin eruptions, torpid
liver, kidney or bladder trouble, or
other serious arrangement
The all gone feeling, dizzy spells,
pains in the back, burning sensation in
the stomach after eating, yellowish

symptoms, are danger signals from
deranged organs, and il unheeded,
will likely cause grave results.
