cost 100000 and be completed in time
for the June crowds, and the remain

The entire walk is expected to be
some five miles in length and will cost
at least 100000. The structure will
embrace a fifty foot promenade and a
twenty foot automobile drive. Curious
though it appears to many. the mo-
torists can get lear the ocean on
Coney Island at but a few points. AS
thousands visit the resort daily in cars
during the summer season, it vas de-
cided to make some provision for their
comfort. In time it is expected to line
this improvement with stores, form
ing another avenue Of trade for the
joyous isle of Coney.

EYES AND THE VOICE..
Organs Of Body Closely Related, De-
clares Scientist.

organs OF 6ody NIoSeIy NeIateo, 10
clares Scientist.
The interrelations between the vari-
u organs and members Of the body
are sometimes so subtle that they es-
cape the attention of anatomists for
generations and then come up as SEN
sational and important discoveries. A
physician in London, DR.. William Mar
tin Richards, has had occasion to OBJ
serve a relation existing between the
eyes and the voice and has recently
made a statement of two cases that
came under his treatment where &C
tresses who had lost their voices COM
pletely recovered them when treated
for defective eyes and fitted with prop
er glasses. He tells of one young wo-
man. in whose family eye diseases were
hereditary. who found herself at the
age Of twenty-five losing her voice.
Her eyes were found to be in need of
attention, and when she had been sup
piled with glasses she promptly recov-
cred her singing voice.
When she discarded the glasses some
time later and her eyes We're once
more neglected her voice also relapsed
into a husky state that precluded all
singing. This practitioner has OBJ
served a number of similar cases, and
the discovery Of the relation between
the eyes and the voice should certainly
be valuable to stage folk and others
who depend largely upon their voices
for their status in the world.

NORTH DAKOTA LIGNlTE.

Producer Fuel,

Valuable For eriekm aking and a. Gao
Producer Fuel.
Extensive beds of Ignite underlie
the greater part Of the western half of
the state of North Dakota, and al
though in calorific value it is not a
high grade fuel, requiring special fur
naces and large CRATE areas when used
be desired when used for domestic
heating and cooking, it has been found
particularly well adapted as a fuel for
use In the manufacture Of brick. an in
dustry that is growing rapidly in the
state. A number of brick manufac-
turers at Dickinson, Scranton and Ken
mare have stated that Ignite is es-
pecially desirable for this purpose be-
cause Of its smokelessness and SCOT
lessness in combustion and it's relative
low cost as compared with other fuels.
One ton of Ignite has been found
equivalent to one cord of ordinary
%brickyard wood. The time required
for burning a kiln of brick with lig-
mite is from eight days to two weeks,
according to the dryness of the bricks
when set in the kiln and according to
the quality Of brick required. Some
Of the brick manufacturers mine the
Ignite used by them.
With the development Of other man
ufacturing industries in the state the
utilization of Ignite for the genera
ton of power through the gas pro-
ducer will increase. The %investiga-
lions conducted by the United States
geological survey at the st. Louis ex-
position have shown that Ignite Is an
excellent gas producer fuel. 1t yields
a gas of higher quality. though less in
quantity, than either anthracite or
bituminous coal, and when so used in
the generation of power equals in ef-
fciency the best bituminOus coal un-
der boilers.-Report United States Geo.
logical Survey.

Hvuienjc Cleaninq,

When you go to the washstand and
carefully wash your hands with a gen.
erous application of soap and hard
brush do not think for an instant that
your hands are clean. The tenacious
microbe refuses to be disturbed and
clings to the flesh throughout the whole
operation. There are some chemical
compounds which will dislodge the
busy bacilli to a certain extent, but
not entirely. According to the inves-
legations Of a medical authority Of
the Prussian army the best results in
the direction Of giving the hands a
sanitary cleaning are accomplished by
the use Of alcohol. A bath Of pure
alcohol will remove about 90 per cent
Of the germs. Where 1t Is desired to
clean the hands hygienically it is rec
commended that the hands be not first
washed with water, for this will so
adulterate the alcohol that 1t will not
be enabled to accomplish its work as
effectively as otherwise.

CORN In MONTANA.
Every Farmer Should Give Some A..
tention to the Production
Of This Crop.

of This Crop.
1t has been only during the past few
years that any attention whatsoever
has been given to the growing of corn
in this state. It was the general i'm.
preston that this crop could not be
however,. has in a way, done away
with the impression commonly had. In
nearly all parts of the state corr has
been grown. The varities that were
used were especially adapted to the
Northern states, that is, they were
quick growing and matured quite early
in the season, before the frosts caught
them.
The land for this corn was prepared
in about the same way as the land for
the spring small grains, that is, it was
plowed to a depth of about ten inches
and disced and narrowed very thor.
oughly. The land was prepared very
early in the spring in order that the
moisture could be saved. In some in.
stances it was necessary to harrow
the land two or three times before the
land vas warm enough to receive the
corn. This was for the purpose of
maintaining a dust mulch and prevent
ing the evaporation of moisture. AS
soon as the soil was warm enough the
corn was planted with the common
corn planter and at the rate of about
twelve ears for every acre. The dis.
lance between the row was three
feet six inches. This permitted of the
cultivation of the orr each way.
After the corn vas up about three
inches it received the first cultivation.
plowed during the growing season.
These operations were performed for
the purpose of maintaining the dust
mulch and destroying the weeds.
The writer wishes to suggest to the
farmer in Montana that corn can
be grown in this state and that it will
pay nearly every farmer to give some
attention to this crop; even though
the season is not long enough to ma
ture the seed. The feeding value of
corn fodder is indeed very great and
it will serve as a roughage to winter
over a large number of cattle. The
yields of this forage are varying, from
five to ten tons per acre. II it is pos.
sible to get a yield OF grain so much
the better; but II the frost comes
quite early in the season we can cut
the stalks for the use of our young
stock.-H. F. Patterson, Montana Agri
cultural College.

thousands of acres that may be made
to produce fifty bushels II properly

ence there is between this and the

purchase as profit.
Irrigated lands producing seventy

proximating values based upon pro-
ductive capacity depends on farmers.
II the latter are Industrious, thrifty
and intelligent; and if they get con-
troll of and cultivate all the land that
Is available for tillage, prices will
soon come into equilibrium with in.
trinsic values.
Spectators alone are responsible
for fictitious values and prices. They
often not only fail to do anything to
increase values, but actually prevent
increase by holding lands at price
prohibitive to settlers. 1t is unfortu-

whom alone the country's develop

FRANCE HAS AIR MEMS MAPS.

Made In Six CoIors With Peculiar De-
vices For Landmarks.
Now comes the map for air men, and,
as in other things aviatory, it comes
from France. 1t was designed by the
French army's geographical depart
ment and emphasizes the value set
upon military aviation by the Gallo
war department and its determination
to be in the forefront.
The demand for a good map became
great after the air race from Paris to
the eastern frontier and return, and the
new idea is the result. 1t depicts the
district Of Chalons, where the flying
