There was an interesting ceremony
at Seattle the other night. A large
hammer weighing six hundred pounds
was carried at the head of a long
procession, and at the proper place
was burned with due form. Fully a
hundred thousand people saw the pa
rade, and thirty thousand saw the
burning. In the procession were past
and present city officials and promi-
nent citizens. This ceremony is one
that could be emulated in this good
town of Perrysburg. There are too
many people here who are criticising
those who try to do something for
the town. 1t is said that "a fool can
criticise," but it requires real man
to DO SOMETHING worth criticism.

The offices of the Toledo-Lima trac-

were broken into Tuesday night, pre-
sumably by the same thief or thieves.
They went first to the station at Mer-
mill where they got about sixteen
dollars in small currency and then to
Portage. At the latter place there
was money and two gold watches but
the marauders were evidently fright
ened away as it was undisturbed.

TO TAKE PLANT IMPRESSIONS
TWO Methods That Result In Pictures
Which Closely Resemble Good
Steel Eneravlngs.

Here is way to take impressions
of plants which will resemble steel en-
cravings. Two of them, In fact; take
your choice.
The first method is to take half a
sheet of fine woven paper and cover
its surface with sweet oil; let it stand
a moment or two, rub off the super
fiuous oil and hang 1t in the air. When
it is fairly dry, move it slowly over
the fame of candle, lamp or gas
burner (caution) until it is quite
black, lay the plant or leaf on it,
place clean piece of paper on top
and rub equally with the fingers for
about half hinute; then take up the
plant and place 1t on the paper on
which it is desired to leave an impress
sion. Cover 1t with piece of blot
ting paper and rub as before. The
engraying-like impression will then
appear.
By the second method, burn a COM
mon cork until 1t is reduced to a
powder, add teaspoonful of olive oil
and mix into a thick paste. Next
paint the under side of the leaf with
camels hair brush, lay the leaf care
fully, painted side down, upon piece
of clean paper, press it in book I'M
der strong and even weight for
about quarter of an hour and remove
the leaf carefully from the paper AS
before, the impression will appear
thereon.

+ SPOKANE, Wash, Oct despite
a Wall street furry that followed his
middle of the road" trust speech at
Pocatello yesterday, President Taft
today repeated and strengthened his
declaration of rigid policy toward
business.
dissolve or be dissolved was the
gist of the presidents declaration at
Lewiston, Idaho, to a crowd of some
five thousand people. He declared that
the railroads have been forced to sub
NIT to regulations and that the trusts
will have to follow suit.
1--WE have put the railroads under
CONTROL" he declared, with great earn
estness. For time they we're de-
fiant and now, under the steady action
of congress, increasing the power of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
from session to session, they fnNlly
realized that the whole people are
greater than any part of the people,
that the whole people, If they move
to control and bring about a just con-
dition, are likely to win in the end,
however often they may be defeated
in reaching that purpose. So, too, with
respect to our trusts"
Here the president reviewed the
effect Of the Standard Oil and tobacco
trust decisions of the supreme court
and declared
"The supreme court by these two
decisions, has reestablished the force
of competition in this country. There
are other trusts in the process of pros
ecution, but my own hope is that they
will realize now that these are epoch
making decisions, bound to change the
course and tendency of business. If
| they did not, gentlemen, | do not know
4 where we should have gone.''
The president declared that the ten
dency was to centralize all of the
business in the hands of the few.
The only rescue from that, unless
he declared, would be state socialism
the state fixing prices in all business
and regulating business"
The president discussed the tariff

The enormous number of defective
school children should not alarm us
too greatly. Bad as 1t all is, there is
plenty of evidence that 1t is an old,
old phenomenon-as old indeed as
man himself-but now more evident
because there are more people. 1t is
less in rural districts, though still

largely urban, it is quite natural that
the proportion of detectives should
increase, though as matter of fact
there is no evidence that 1t has, Big
cities are modern affairs and that Is
why their phenomena are being dis
covered, but the accounts of London
some centuries ago showed a deplor-
able number of detectives, probably
fai greater in proportion than in New
York now. Though it is appalling
that there should be nearly quarter
million diseased school children, yet
the defects are of minor things, while
formerly they were severe. The seat
of most Of the trouble is said to be
malnutrition, but it is not nearly SO
bad as in European cities of the last

LIGHTHOUSE HAS NO KEEPER
Volcano on San Salvador Whose
Flashes of Light Come Regularly
Every Seven Minutes.

What do you think OF perpetual
lighthouse, needing no keeper, and
vet as regular in its flashes of light
as one maintained by the govern
ment?" asked Albert ID. Van Wyck, q
globe trotter, at the Raleigh.
This natural light never fails, and
that means much for navigation. 1t
is a volcano on the island of San Sal
vador This volcanic lighthouse is
about eight miles inland from the port
of Acajutla. 1t Is veritable pillar Of
cloud by day, and the fash of Its light
by night has been valuable to marin
ers for years. 1t can be seen far out
at sea, and burst of fame has gone
upward every seven minutes, without
the variation of second, for many
years.
The few visitors who stop at San
Salvador amuse themselves the first
few days by holding their watches
and timing the outburst of fame.
"A lighthouse fee is collected of all
vessels that put in at the harbor near
est the volcano, and no skipper OBJ
jects. He knows that the volcano is
more reliable than the lighthouses
kept by human beings on other coasts,
and the novelty of the light is worth
the price charged by the government.
There is the usual defamation caused
by the eruption every seven minutes,
and the ground is shaken, but, after a
short sojourn on the island you fail to
notice 1t, and would be the more
shocked if it did not occur. Wash

pos of the death of Thackeray." And
there was a postscript: The bearer
will walk about the country till you
tell him to return for copy"
The story of that little printers
devil and how he spent his Christmas
day in our house in Finchley road
has been handed down in the family
annals. He may, in obedience to his
employer, have taken a little walk
about the wintry Hampstead or Kill
burn fields, but he most certainly and
sensibly came back to eat his Christ

all day 1t must have been quite late
at night when the oarlor maid, so the
