DYNAMITE farming
AROUSES Interest
Especial to the Trlbune)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. g.
Farming with dynamite is arousing
considerable interest in southwest
Texas and arrangements are being
made in various sections for public
demonstrations Of breaking the sub.
soil with explosives. 1t is claimed
by those that have made study of
this method of subsoiling that it can
be done better with dynamite than
by any other means and the cost of
the work need not be greater than
thrifty farmer can afford. The
benefit claimed for this process is
that land thus treated will receive
and retain much more rainfall and
moisture than soil not blasted. If the
experiments now being conducted in
Texas are successful the method Of
farming will be almost revolutionized.
Experiments will be made also in
clearing of brush lands with dynamite
and they will be watched with inter-
est by all land owners in this part of
tie state.

PERPETUAL MOTION IDEAS.
Efforts Of Inventors Who Strain After
tbs unattainable.


Perpetual motion. like the philoso-
piers stone. is one Of those things reg
ularly sought after. Years ago it was
proved that the idea was absurd. yet
only a week or so ago another inven, or
came forward with Il new perpetual
motion notion.
Some Of these perpetual motion ma
chimes are certainly extremely in@en-

placed just above the axles. and on
these cylinders was supported the
whole weight Of the bus and pa>scn-
gers. Pipes led from this water to
the back Of the bus. curved round and
ended in the back board OF the bus
The more passengers there were the
greater the pressure on the cylinders
of water and the faster the flow Of
the water to the back Of the bus. The
faster. too. will the bus rush forward.
At least. 50 said the inventor. who ac-
tually took out patent for his idea.
Needless to say. no such buses are
running.
Another ingenious idea was wheel
with narrow shelves instead of spokes.
On each shelf was Il lead ball. and the
inventor claimed that once the wheel
was started the balls on the falling
side kept running toward the circum-
ference and so outweighed those on
the rising side. which ran toward the
center. Once started the wheel should
keep on forever. Unfortunately it al.

first WEEK Of new Year SHOWS;
SLIGHTLY BETTER SENTIMENT

The first week of the new year
showed a slight betterment in both
financial and commercial sentiment
The improvement was not so much OBJ
servable in any increase in the volume
of bushes as in the recognition OF
the fact that, while conditions are
conflicting and in some respects un-
satisfactory, corrective forces are
steadily at work. Here and there are
signs of abatement in general unrest
which is beginning to show itself in
a more rational attitude in political
circles toward large corporations.
The only exception is a fresh out
break of the investigation mania In
form of an inquiry regarding the al
legged money trust" While trusts
and the tariff are still the first sub
jects of importance in the public
mind, the chances Of their being rea-
sonable dealt with are much better
than three or six months ago. No
radical action on trusts is probable
during the present session of con-
gress, which will be chiefly devoted
to active and possibly somewhat
heated discussion. There is, however,
some prospect of positive action on
the tariff question. the greatest
likelihood being sharp cut in the
steel schedules and the placing OF
iron ore on the free list AS for cot
ton and wool schedules, these also
may be revised, but at the moment
it looks as if steel would come first.
The labor outlook is somewhat un-
certain, but the sorry disclosures con-
rected with the Mcnamara cases have
had a SOLDERING effect upon labor, and
are likely to result in the selection
of higher type of leadership in the
future; a result which would benefit
labor and capital elike by moderating
class warfare and facilitating settle
ment of the differences between en-
ploye by discussion and not force.
The issues of the presidential cam
paign are now sharply defined, and
their outcome can already be some
what foreseen. Public sentiment is
pretty definitely formed, and the chief
object regarding the future is that Of
personality concerning the different
candidates. This, of course, may re-
main unsettled until the conventions
next summer although it is not i'm
possible that the successful nominees
will be correctly guessed at in ad-
vance, says Henry Clews in his week
ly financial review.
