How DR.. Graham Bell Keeps Away Heat

York city alone, DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, the inventor of the tele-
phone, stocked up the ice stove, his
newest invention, in his Washington
home, and felt quite comfortably cool
while others were sweltering in an at
mosphere from which there appeared
to be no prospects of relief. Doctor
Bell is not going to patent his ice
stove
Doctor Bells ice stove Is the exact
opposite of the ordinary coal furnace.
While the latter consumes coal and
radiates heat to keep up the tempera-
ture, the former consumes ice and ra-
dates cooling waves of air to keep it
down.
On the ground floor of Doctor Bells
Washington residence is what was
once a swimming tank Having been
built to hold water, it can safely be
depended upon to hold cold air. 1t is
a well known fact that cold air is
heavier than warm air. Everybody has
noticed that when window is opened
in room in cold weather the feet feel
the cold first. This is because the
admitted cold air has fallen to the
floor. So if cold air was poured into

VII ASHINGTON-The value Of farm
w land per acre in the north central
states has practically doubled in the
last ten years, according to bulletin
issued by the census bureau. The to-
tai value of farm lands and buildings
in the division has increased from less
than $10,OO0,000 in 1900 to more than
$20,000,0O0 in 1910, while the number
of farmers has increased only a frac-
ton Of one per cent.
More than two-thirds of the farmers
in the section own their own farms,
while more than half these owners
have their land free from mortgage. A
slight decrease from 1900 is shown in
the numbe of owners, while the ten
ant farmers have increased by more
than twenty per cent. A significant
feature of the bulletin is the indication
given that the older states of the Sec
ton are decreasing in agricultural i'm
portance, presumably owing to in
creases in urban manufacturing popu-
lations.
The total amount of land included
in farms in 1910 was reported as 349,-
$4,000 acres, as compared with 317,-
$4,000 acres in 1900, an increase Of
32,613,000 acres, or ten per cent This
important increase is largely due to

Wireless Telegraph for the Cavalry

the antennae necessary to establish
communication.
The real purpose of the recent great
assemblage of troops in Texas, aside
from international considerations, was
the creation of one tremendous mill
tary unit, and that was successfully &C.
complished for the first time since the
Civil war, in the opinion of Major Gen.
eral Carter, the commander in chief of
the maneuver division.
Five times the cost of this operation
would not measure the value to the
country of the experiment, declared
General Carter. 1t was the first oppor-
tunity that the modern army had to
get together all bra nches of the serv-
ice-the infantry, the cavalry the artil-
lery, the transportation and subsist-
ence departm ents-and to make a
thorough test Of what had been purely
theoretical estimates of the proper bal.
ance between them.
This problem was worked out by the
test of actual practice, and General
Carter feels that when he left Texas
there had been brought into being the
perfect military uni which had been
SO long desired by army strategists.

Census Shows Increased Farm Values

the extension of agricultural activities
into western North and South Dakotas,
Nebraska and Kansas, and into north
ern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan. These increases offset impor-
tant decreases in other sections.
The increases in total farm acreage,
in the order of their importance, are:
North Dakota, SO per cent; South Da-
kota, SO per cent; Nebraska, 20 per
cent; Michigan, s per cent; Wiscon-
sin, 6 per cent; Minnesota, per
cent; Kansas, per cent, and Mis-
souri,, per cent. The decreases are;
Iowa, Indiana and Ohio, each per
cent, and Illinois, 1 per cent. There
are also important decreases in the
older sections of the other states, but
these decreases are offset by the larger
increases. The average acreage per
farm reported in 1910 was 157, as
against IA in 1900, an increase of 10
acres, or 9 per cent.
Each of the states on the western
border of the division, and those along
the Canadian border, show increases
in the number of farms. These in
creases, in the order of their impor-
lance, are: North Dakota, GA per cent;
South Dakota, AZ per cent; Nebraska,
6 per cent; Wisconsin, per cent;
Kansas and Michigan, each per cent.

the ordinary room it would flow out
under doors and through floor cracks
wherever it could find them.
In addition to the old swimming
tank, which Doctor Bell has fitted up
as study, with easy chair, couch and
table and books, the inventor needed
an apparatus for supplying cold air to
the tank. This was a simple matter A
large ice box was constructed and into
this about 200 pounds of ice are fed
twice every week. Air pipes lead into
the ice box and other pipes convey the
chilled air into the inventors study,
the flow being regulated by an electric
fan.
While the president of the United
States, judges of the supreme court,
ambassadors, legisls tors and others
were sweltering with the thermometer

sat in his study, where the tempera-
ture never rose above 65 degrees.

Interior Department Issues Warning

COMPLAINTS have been received
- from settlers on reclamation pro-
jects that by reason Of the misrepre-
sensations Of land agents they have
been induced to purchase lands which
were afterward found to be without
any rights to water from the govern
ment canals. The secretary of the in
terror issued warning which, while
it refers particularly to the Rio Grande
project in New Mexico and Texas, is
equally applicable to other projects
containing large areas of private lands.
"All persons are warned against &C
cepting any statements concerning
this project without inquiry from the
officers of the reclamation service. Ex-
perience has shown that some warning
of this kind is necessary because mis-
leading statements have been issued
regarding the project and the condi-
lions existing upon it.
"In particular, attention is directed
to the requirements of the reclamation
act regarding residence and cultiva-
ton. The act prescribes that no right
to the use Of water or land in private
ownership shall be old for tract ex-
ceeding 160 acres to any one land own.

Increased Price Of Elk Teeth.

During the last five years the
value Of elk teeth has more than
trebled," said a Western traveller at
the Frederic. ''In 1904 you could get
any number of fine specimens in
Idaho, Montana, Washington, and
bordering states for $3.50 apiece.
Now You will pay from 81 to $40, and
they are hard to get for even that.
The Apache, Sioux, Comanche and
Chippewa Indians used to have doz-
ems of them in their possession and
traded them for trinkets. But the
redskin got wise to their value, and
you can buy them from a regular
dealer cheaper now than from the
Indian. The passing of the elk and
the great demand made by the menu
bers of the Elk lodge for teeth for
emblems have boosted the price,"
The traveller recited one incident
of an Oklahoman who bought a robe
covered with elk teeth from WITCH
tia Indian for 500. He cut the
teeth off and cleaned up $4,000 on
the deal.

THE military value of the cavalry
branch has been enormously in
creased by the adoption of wireless
telegraphy, for the first time in this
country thoroughly tried out in the
Texas maneuvers.
The signal corps had devised an ex-
tremely light and portable wireless ap-
paratus, easily carried on the back of
a horse and capable of being put into
operation from any point in the field
within few minutes. 1t was found
that the messages could be readily re-
ceived when the cavalry detachment
was anywhere within twenty-five miles
OF a receiving station, a fact which
added greatly to the value Ct tie cav

Milk producers who know it best
concede that alfalfa is an invaluable
feed in the dairy, closely akin to
wheat bran in results, and usually
much, less expensive, according to
Coburn's "The Book of Alfalfa" In
the average small town or city there
is about one COW for every 10 or Is
people. Therefore, in town of 1000
population there will probably be rs
or 100 COWS. If alfalfa will increase

than the concentrated foods, it should
be more used. But as yet it Is not
generally used, because it is not un-

Law
There is too much partisanship
and not enough patriotism in
America. There is much wrong
done owing to disrespect for the
law. The laws may be sufficient,
but they are not efficient. The
greatest thing in our own coun-
try is law, and it is the greatest
thing in the universe. Law has
been and ever will be. In our
country the law is made for the
benefit of the people-to protect
the poor, to enable the work
man to collect his wages and to
maintain him in the enjoyment
of his rights under the constitu-
ton. Disrespect for the law by
public servants and corporations
drags the respect of the law in
the dust.-John A. johnson.
