NEWEST THINGS IN SHIPS
 WILL HAVE NO TUNNELS

Developments in connection with the construction of motor driven ships are making such progress that no fewer than twelve vessels of the Type are at present being built, and plans have been prepared for a vessel of HOO tons, which will be fitted with internal com mbustion engines.
 Most of these new vessels are being constructed in England, and German yards are building two liners of G,O00 tons for the Hamburg American Co. Two large motor driven vessels for Danish frms have just been launched
 These new vessels have neither fun nels nor boilers. The fumes from the engine room will be held up inside one of the mastheads and exhausted at a height of 48 feet above the deck.
 As ths machinery space on this type of vessel is only about one-third that which would be necessary for cam engines, much greater room will be available for passengers and cargo.

UNCLE" NATE WHITE
 FINISHES GIGANTIC TASK

After seven years of hard, dangerous and most discouraging toll, "Uncle'' Nate White, a Kenai peninsula miner, has succeeded in driving a tunnel 700 feet long through a mountain of solid limestone, impregnated with iron pyrite, and has been rewarded by a fortune for his efforts.
 Many years ago he settled on Lynx creek, where he found some pay: but was nnablc to work it on account of water. To overcome this obstacle White devised gigantic scheme,
 Some distance from the creek, and separated by high mountain of solid rock, was located a stream much closer to sea level than Lynx creek, and he conceived the idea of driving tunnt l through the hill from the lower creek to point below the bedrock Of Lynx, and placing sluiceboxes in the bottom.
 For seven years ho worked alone, taking out sufficient gold during the summer to buy bacon and flour.
 When the tunnel had reached the objective point below the bedrock of Lynx, White drove an uplift and tapped the stream, allowing the water to carry the gravel down to his Hume. He has so arranged it that the water can be shut off when he wants to clean LOGO cubic yards Of gravel a day alone, as much as ordinarily could be shoveled in by party of 200 men.

While President Taft was on his Western tour a few months ago Sen ator Jeff Davis of Arkansas and his bride were on their wedding tour. At St. Louis Senator Davis said Taft's trip had been a frost, and as palpably planned for political prestige, it had been a failure. The majority of the people had been indifferent. My wife and I happened to travel over the same route as President Taft" said the sen- ator, land we saw the results of his trip at first hand.

NEW CARDINALS FACE
 HEAVY EXPENDITURES

It is difficult to estimate the initial expense of being raised to the purple, because it much depends upon the in- dividual, but a certain expenditure is obligatory. For instance, the new cardinal must pay S422 24 for the car dinalate bulls, $500 for the cardinals ring, S53.95 to the secretary of the sacred college, $2l5 to the acting master of ceremonies, sS6 for each of the nonacting master of ceremonies, $64.45 to the Sistine choir. which in. cludes the payment for the singing at his requiem mass when he dies; S53 75 to the priests of f-the consistory, S2S.20 to the master of the wafer. $53 75 each to the functionaries of the sacred col lege, S3225 among the lackeys and chair bearers, S9785 to the household of the cardinal secretary of state. and s738.30 to the household of the pope.
 Then there are the liveries for his servants, the furnishing of his chapel, his cross, and other ornaments, obliga- tory entertainments, and small fees here and there. Hence his first ex- penses, even with economy, cannot be much less than s5,OO0,
 A poor mans budget is sometimes clipped for years by this expenditure, and he may even borrow money from the church, several having died before the debt was paid. This is loss to the church, as no demand for payment is ever put forward.

A. B.'s Must Pay Taxes.

The matter of the remission of taxes on the property of the Arctic Brotherhood was broached, and Mayor Barnes expressed himself as favorable to such action. He said the A. B hall was, like a church or a hospital, for the general good ot the community; it was not pleading povert, but was struggling under heavy burden, and was worthy of recognition by the coun- ell as all institution of a public nature, the purpose of which is not 10 make money, but to benefit the community at large. The Mayor appeared to be alone in his view, however, and, while all were mind ful of the good work of the A. B $. the question came to a vote which was unanimous that the taxes must be paid.

AS we are now in the annual season
for colds, word on the subject will
be timely. A writer in the Physical
Culture Magazine tells us there is
much misconception regarding the
origin of colds and that they are not
caused by draughts, damp feet or ex-
posture to the cold, but by an accumu-
lation OF waste materials in the sys-
tenn that, for some reason, have not
been expelled in the normal manner.
Exposure, dampness and draughts,
says the writer, occasion the cold, but
the condition Of the system Is the real
cause OF the maIady. If the system is
in a healthful condition, almost any
amount of exposure may be expert
enced, and no Ill results will follow
but one is much more susceptible to
colds when the abnormal condition
prevails. This condition is caused by
the failure of the scavengers Of the
human body to properly perform their
functions. The body is then in a
semipoisoned state, and when In this
state the cold is easily contracted. But
it is not the exposure which is the
cause of the cold. 1t is only the oc-
casion-the last straw, and the real
cause is to be found in the condition
of the system.

THE GOLDEN RuLE.

The unhappiest mortals are those
who are always looking up the faults
Of others. This Is explained by the
fact that they are trampling all over
The Golden Rule, which enjoins upon
one a friendly Interpretation of an
others life. 1t very often happens
That a man will shut his eyes to a
score Of virtues merely to see one
fault, and when he does that, and
hangs cloud over the others life, he
does the same for his own This liz
not speculation; it is experience. Just
notice how good you feel when you
the bad ones. There is a bank of
flowers. Enjoy it-behold its beau
ties and enjoy the fragrance; don't
90 nosing among the tangled weeds
looking for a snake. There is an old
adage: Look on the bright side, and
II there is mt bright side, FURNISH up
the dark SIDE" AS to the Golden Rule
We would hate for a person to go
shopping around, looking up our
faults; and so we will not do it for an
other. When a great fault protrudes
denounce it, but not the man, for he
may have a dozen virtues that out
weigh 1t ten to one. Besides, the
fault may not be the mans; and fur'
ther, we might all act the same under
the same conditions and circum'
stances.

BOMB WITNESS HIT
z. w. ZEISS HELD UNDER $4,000
BOND ON CHARGE OF
PERJURY.
TESTlFYlNG FOR DEFENSE
Was McManigaI's Roommate In De-
trolt in the Spring of 1907 and
Worked on Jobs With Him There
at That Time.

Indianapolis, Dec. 16.-Frederick
w. Zeiss, union ironworker, Chicago,
brought here by the defense to i'm
peach the testimony Of Ortie McMan-
lgal, was taken from the witness
stand at the dynamite conspiracy trial
Friday by order of Judge Albert Ander-
son and held under $4,000 bond to
appear before the next federal grand
jury for perjury.
Zeiss is the second witness for the
defense to be arrested for perjury
within a week. Up to late hour the
defense had furnished no bond for
him. He was surly following his ar
rest and would not talk.
Zeiss was McManigal's roommate in
Detroit in the spring of 1907, and
worked on jobs with him there at that
time. McManigal testified he had
never talked to Zeiss about his first
explosion at the Russell Wheel and
Foundry company in Detroit, June 70,
1907, Zeiss contradicted this and said
McManigal had told him that he (Mc-
ManigaD caused that explosion, and
further told him before the explosion
that he was going to Bloomville, O.,
to get dynamite He also said McMan-
lgal invited him to become a dyna-
inter. II told him the game was too
dirty for me-" said Zeiss.
do you say that you knew this ex-
plosion had occurred and you said
nothing about it?" asked Judge Ander-
son in establishment. Zeiss made no
reply.
do you know where you are? An
swer my question" continued the
court.
Certainly
And you knew who caused the ex-
plosion and didn't inform the authori-
ties, and you said nothing to the off,
GERS of the law"
Certainly" was the terse reply of
the witness. After brief cross-exam-
ination District Attorney Miller In
formed the court that he had asked
Zeiss If McManigal had told him who
caused the Russell Wheel and Foun-
dry company explosion, when he was
before the grand jury during the inves-
tigation of the dynamite conspiracy.
''Zeiss swore to that grand jury that
he knew nothing of the explosion"
said Miller. He then asked that the
witness be held to the grand jury.

A bad quarter of an hour is furnish
ed the Germans by the report of one
war correspondent that the swift and
decisive victories of the Bulgars over
the Turks were due to the superiority
of the Creusot French guns over the
German Krupps used by the Turks.
OF course the Krupp people will scien-
tifically demonstrate the untruth Of
this. However the gun controversy
may turn out, we think the chief fac.
tor of Bulgarian success lay in their
adoption of old Gen. U. B. Forests
statement that the art of war con-
