dred feet high, driven by engines develop
ing thousands of horsepower, with speed
of a hundred miles an hour, and capable of
crossing our deepest rivers like so many
mud puddles, to which a hill would be as a
bump in a road to an automobile-it sounds
like dream stuff, but Frank Shuman, Phil
adelphia inventor, says there is nothing
scientifically impossible in the realization
of such juggernaut, and describes its pos
sible construction in an article in Popular
Mechanics
There would be two wheels in fronts 200
feet in diameter, on an axle 200 feet long.
There would be a smaller steering wheel in
the rear. The tread would be 20 feet wide,
and the spokes would be of similar con-
struction to the military masts of our bat
tleships, so that the wheel would still stand,
even if considerable part were shot away
| From the front axle, enormous weights
would depend to crush all distractions on
| impact.
| AS this juggernaut would be intended to
destroy by virtue of its inherent energy, the
car, crew and guns would be small Heav-
lily armored, the engine would be able to
Withstand everything save bombardment

LUMBER AFTER THE WAR.

That Europe will need billion dollars
worth of lumber the first year after the war,
is the statement of Dr. Edward Ewing
Pratt, of the Department of Commerce, in
a recent address
Even though the war should end in De
cember, the deficit in the normal European
lumber supplies will amount to $400,OOO,-
0OO This does not take into consideration
the wars destruction-the buildings, rail
roads, bridges, etc, that must be replaced
another S400 ,000, 000-all this in addition to
the normal imports, which amount to $780,

ment of consumption, due to enforced econ
omy--knock off O0,0O0-and you
have the billion dollar demand

manufactured goods
In 1913 the United States shipped $115,-
100000 of lumber-more than any other
country in the world. Russia was the clos
est competitor with exports amounting 10
$88,OOO,OO0; Sweden second, S84,000000.
Of the seven European countries that ex-
ported lumber before the war, five are COM
batants, their woodcutters at the front, and
their export business at a standstill. We
know besides that many Russian mills and
stocks IN Poland have been destroyed; we
also know that the rebuilding of Poland and
western Russia will absorb all of Russia S
energies after the war AS Norway has long
been overcutting her annual growth. the
strongest European competition will come
from Sweden and Finland-and they are
icebound during six months of the year.
Everything seems to point to the United
States getting the lions share of the bus
mess, and the vessels that are now being
loaded with munitions will be loaded With
lumber. The end of the war will see the
routings of ships changed to the southern
pine exporting ports: the future looms
large for Pensacola.

Russia has lust beaten all records in rail
way construction. She has built a great
double track line from A1exandrovsk, an
ice free port on her north coast down to
Petrograd, and completed it within six
months. 1t is 1,120 miles long, and 10000
men, mostly prisoners, were employed
upon it.

No New States.

Differences in climate and in char
aeter and policy OF the people between
North and South Florida have brought
about an agitation TO make two states
out of Florida. II Is suggested from
some quarters that the line of demar
cation should run along the Goth par
allel, while others urge that it be the
Suwanee river 20 miles north OF the
Goth parallel. The northern portion
would contain about $1,000 square
miles, little larger than Vermont,
New Hampshire and New Jersey to-
gether South of the Goth parallel,
the area comprises $1,000 square
miles a little more than Ohio and a
little less than Tennessee.
The proposal is to name the new
state, the northern half of Florida,
Jefferson, In honor of Thomas Jeifer,
son, while the southern division would
retain the name of Florida,
The suggestion of division came up
in 1914 only to be dropped. Lately
Florida has been thrown into the
throes of turmoil over the selection

pulling one way. and the southern
part another. The former section is

launched but we are informed that

have as its primary and preliminary
purpose the creation of sentiment for
the division.
Nothing will come of the agitation,

The Call of the Country.

The Popular Sermon.


What does the average layman like

church?
The Rev. Bryant c. Preston has sub

professional men and educators Of

subjects they preferred
The topics outlined were for Sun
day evening treatment, and as The
Independent points out it was not a
little surprising that much attention
was given to devotional subjects as
opposed to historical travel and lit.
erary subjects.
Leading the list was the subject,
Are the objections to Worldly
Amusements Reasonable?"
Closely following this came. "The
Good In Bad Pecple-an the Bada.a

subject was third in popular favor.
Wanted? A More Powerful Navy
and Larger Army! BY Whom?"
Fourth came the topic, Are Secres
Societies a blessing or a Curse?"
Fifth in favor was general subject,
THE Best Medicine-A Merry Heart,
especially favored by the doctors.
The seven next popular subjects. in
the order of their selection were, "The
Christian Science of Prayer" "Thom-

The Negro Here and There.

According to Oswald G. Willard,
VIM. Lloyd Garrison. the Boston
Transcript, and the other theoretical
but not actual friends" of the negro.
the South's treatment of the black man
is perfectly outrageous, but we hum
bly, call their attention to a letter APP
pearing in yesterdays New York
World, in which correspondent says
that Southern friend OF his has
had to give up his colored chauffeur, a
first.class man, because of the difficult
ty he has found in securing accommo-
dations for him at the various places
of resort near the city to which he
drives for dinner or to spend the
weekend. He spent several week
ends at Larchmont and always the
chauffeur had to return to New York
and so back ON Sunday evening or
Monday morning. At many places
frequented by automobilists even food
was denied the colored man. am
sufficiently Southern myself to draw
the line at social equality. but is 1t
quite fair to a decent and capable
colored man to discriminate against
him in this fashion, All of which
goes to prove that Northern criticism
of Southern treatment of the negro is
the rankest hypocrisy, for. as mat
ter of fact. he gets better deal here
than he does in the old abolition
country where they still preach equah-
ty and still practice the most complete
discrimination against the ostracism
of the negro.
