WORK OF HEN ACCELERATED
Serve Warm Meals in Chicken
Yard at All Hours.

There are all sorts of devices to ac-
celerate the barnyard hen to greater
activity in the matter of her chosen
profession Of laying eggs. Nearly ev-
cry chicken raiser has some individ-
ual opinion on this subject, but there
are a great many who adhere to the
notion that the hens do their best
work In this direction when they are
given warm feed. The preparation of
this is a matter Of some considerable
trouble, and for the sake of conven-
fence many owners make a compro-
mise by giving the hens a warm meal
once a day. Now. then, II a warm
meal nee a day is good for the chick
ems. a warm meal all day long should
be so much the better, and. acting on
this suggestion. an inventor has made
an electric food heater by which 1t
will be possible to serve warm meals
at all hours in the chicken yard. Cur
rem Is conveyed to the device by
means of wires connecting with the
household circuit. and this. passing in
to a small electric heater, keeps the
chicken food at a very desirable tenn
perature at all times. The invention
is also of value in the winter time
when the drinking fountains of the
poultry yard freeze up in a short time.
This heater will keep the water in
proper condition at all times. The
amount of current consumed is said to
be very small.

AUTOMATIC SIGNAL FOR CAR
Operated by Controller Handle iIIumi-
mates Sign az Warning to Street
Car Passengers.

August May has invented an auto
matte danger signal for street a pas
sengers, which, 1t is believed, will be
the means of averting accidents. A
small housed circuit closer, as
shown at 13 in the drawing, is ar
ranged on top of the controller box
of an electric car, and in the path of
movement of the controller handle,
says the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat. This circuit closer, acting in
combination with the controller han
die. operates to illumine two sets Of
advertisements, which may be located
anywhere inside or outside the car,
but which are preferably located on
the upper and lower plane Of the
now ~unoccupied car roof.
When the controller handle is in the
"~current-on" position and the car is in
motion, n set of advertisements is
illumined. When the car stops to put
OF passengers and the controller han
die is in the "current-of" position
the first set of advertisements is
darkened and the second set illumined,
and vice versa. The first set of ads.
may be on the lower roof plane and
the second set on the upper roof

WORLD GROWING BETTER.

Every Issue Of a newspaper which
tries to record the most important
events of the Cay seems to be on its
face an indictment of the human raoe
and modern civilization Stories or
greed. oppression. wrongs and crime
often take mp most of the rpace In It's
columns. The effect upon the reader
Is sometimes to make him think. for
the moment at least, that the world
Is growing more hard and cruel, and
that society. as 1t is constituted. is a
failure. But such a view is all wrong,
and the thoughtful reader soon real
lies it. The world is growing better
all the time, and humanity is steadily
advancing from one plane OF life to
another. The reason there seems
more wickedness is that the people OF
the earth are in closer communication
with one another than they were only
q few years ago. says the Cleveland
Leader. Crimes which once remained
unxpown 20 all but a comparatively
few are now revealed to the entire
civilized world, that it may know the
sort of men it must suppress, the ex-
BENT of the harm they infiict and the
manner in which they are dealt with.
Wrongs which once flourisGed be-
eause they were hidden are now
dragged into the light Of day and ex-
posed in all their ueanness in the
pages Of the newspapers. Modern
civilization. through it's most power
full agency for progress, the public
press. lays bare the hitherto hidden
wounds inflicted upon society. that
they may be cured and their repeti-
ton prevented. No, the world is not
growing worse. There is less of pow
erty. crime and suffering than ex-
listed only a few years ago. Life is
easier, more profitable and more full
Of joy. The man with the shovel gets
more out of it than did the man with
the two-handed sword in his castle. a
brief remove back in the life of the
race.

CONGRESS TO GET NEW

Maj. Gen. Wood Is Preparing One
With Certain Notifications at

wal transferred itself to the White
House and the war department. The
liveliest discussion revolved about
the so-called secret report. despite
the fact hat it's contents we're al
ready divulged by newspapers which
did not keep faith and treat it as a
confidential document.
1t vas reported that President Taft
had taken a hand in the melee and
that no report would be SEN in, on
the ground that this was the only
course compatible with the public
interests"
But after a conference between the
president, Senator Root. Representa-
tive Hull OF Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on military affairs,
and Secretary Dickinson a new deci
sion seemed to have been reached.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief OF
staff of the army, stated he was pre-
pairing a modified report to send to
congress. This the White House sub
stantiated. 1t was said that upon C
ond thought, and In view of the pub
lished reports of the conditions said
by the leading generals of the army to
exist, the president had decided to al
low the report to go in-go In minus
the appendix, which contained, army
officers state, more startling declare
lions than the main report published
Il am working on the report now,
with a view to modifying it." said
General Wood. Il will cut out the
alarming, but true, facts, and send to
congress just those facts which have
appeared from time to time in various
reports-reports of the secretary OF
war, chief of staff and the officer com
handing the coast artillery. The re-
port of this latter officer is as alarm
ing as the report sent to congress
Wednesday, so far as the actual condi-
lions of the coast defenses is con-
cerned.

SECRET REPORT MADE PUBLIC
Secretary Dickinson Points Out De-

Danger to Atlantic and Pa

Washington. = Another war scare
has stalked into the capital, and again
it is Japan which is at the bot
tom of the demand for a larger and
better equipped army, and consequent
ly for greater appropriations. The dip

States and Japan are not In a danger

of tension serious enough TO justify
the observance of care on the part of
the government and people to prevent
further irritation and all it may imply.
1t is now an open secret that Mr..
Dickinson's note of alarm was sound

army and navy appropriations.
