War stops "sea Rathino"

Humorists have recently added to
the list of the wars alleged horrors
the fact that Londoners can no longer
battle in sea water in their own
homes. The facts in the case are re-
ported by Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, as follows: 1t seems that for
years one of the English railways has
maintained a "sea-water" service. For
the small sum Of II cents it has deliv-
cred to any customer a large ear of
real ocean water for bathing purposes,
calling for the can the following day.
Now, however, L%ondoners, who pride

RECORD BELONGS TO SIRIUS
Small Vessel Mas the First to Cross
the Atlantic Wholly Under Its
Own Steam.

This spring marks the eightieth an.
niversary of an important event In
modern history-the voyage from Cork
to New York Of the Sirius, the first
vessel to cross the Atlantic wholly un-
der its W steam. All that remains
of that stanch little craft is a number
of brass paper-weights made from the
metal work after it was wrecked in
B~allycotton bay in 1S47. Captain Rob-
erts, commander of the 412-ton Sirius
on its maiden trip, was later trans
ferred to the President, which went
down with all on board. Thus both
the Sirius and her master met with a
tragic end.
The Sirius made the voyage from
Cork in 10 days, reaching New York
only a few hours before the Great
Western. another steamship which
had sailed from Bristol. The latter
made the best time, crossing the
ONean in IS days. The Sirius had q
passenger list of seven on it's initial
voyage, the youngest of whom was
Vincent E.. Ransome, then four years
old, who was reported living a few
years ago in Wiltshire, England.
where he was long the rector Of q
parish church.
The Sirius was a schooner-rigged
ship and was 17S feet over all, with
a beam Of Is feet and a depth of Is
feet.

Heiress a Successful Artist.

Heiress to one of the greatest for.
tunes in America, born to. a life of
ease and luxury, Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney is a shining example Of the
type Of American woman who is COM
bining successfully a career while she
performs her duty to her home and
society, says the Washington Times.
The former Gertrude Vanderbilt,
daughter Of the late Cornelius Van
derbilt, has for the last ten years
worked untiring1y as a sculptor. Spleen
did examples of her art have been
exhibited in New York, many. Of them
selected In competition in which the
best artists of the time have been her
competitors. Among Mrs. Whitney's
best known works are the Titanic me-
mortal, which has been erected in the
national capital; a fountain in the New
Arlington hotel at Washington, ex-
hibited at the Panama-Paciic. exp0si-
ton in California; another massive
fountain of Aztec design in the bureau
of American republics, also in Wash
ingtpn. Mrs. Whitney has also done
some splendid work in oil, water color
and crayon. '-

Electricity on the Farm,

1t is apparent from the fact that
100000 horse power in electric mo-
tors is now actually being used on the
farm that the phrase Electricity on
the Farm" does not constitute an idle
dream any longer, remarks the Cen
eral Electric Review. Although 160,-
600 horse power of this is used for irri-
CATION and reclamation purposes "a Pc
culiarity of semiarid sections), the
remainder, or 10000 horse power, is
actually being used for miscellaneous
farm purposes, such as driving the
cream separator, butter churn, and so
on. The only thing that we are not
doing with electricity on any scale Is
blowing and cultivating, and this now
bids fair to be a commercial reality In
the very near future.-Sclentific Amer

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF wheat
Shortage Has Shown Us the Wonder

in the Grain.

As absence makes the heart grow
fonder, SO does scarcity of wheat in
vite attention to it's wonderful and
unique qualities as food. We have been
eating wheat products all these years
as a matter Of course. and it never oc-
Cured to us that we might ever be
called on to go without them. Now
that it is necessary to use wheat sub
s%titutes, we have discovered that use
full as they are there is nothing that
really takes the place of wheat flour.
The magic of the wheat lies in its
gluten-what the baker refers to as
the %''.binder." He must have a certain
proportion of wheat flour to furnish
the binder, O his oatmeal bread or his
rice pastry crumbles. The substitutes
have the same nourishment as the
wheat. But they lack the quality of
the wheat flour crust. There is moth

rise like wheat dough. Bread made Of

table. If it is! necessary for the sake
of the war;, we shall ,cheerfully go

HOW they Won OUT
Singers Thought Up a Really
Neat Scheme. ,
Little Conspiracy That Seems to Point
to Truth of the Familiar Old
Adage That Every Man
Has His Price.

Once there was q male quartet
which was booked by q lyceum bureau
that would allow a date to be can.
celed only in the event Of a perform
er's death.
This quartet In question was booked
to sing at Buzzard, N. D., one cold
winter night. The timetable told the
boys to go to Terminal. which was the
end Of the line, and hire q liveryman
to take them over to Buzzard.
They arrived at Terminal on a Sat-
urday morning. The hotel was not at
all bad. The first train out was to go
Monday. The liveryman said that he
would convey them to Buzzard for $40.
It vas % miles. He intimated that he
thought he could notice indications of
a robust blizzard approaching. He said
it was not uncommon for parties to
get lost in billiards. and freeze to
death before being found. 1t was
splitting SNOW at noon. -.
The boys went over to the telegraph
Office, wired the bureau. explained
about the long drive to Buzzard, and
the dangers with which the journey
was fraught, and asked that they be
permitted to cancel the engagement.
They offered to compensate the bureau
to the extent of it's commission If per-
mitted to blow the date.
Their answer from the bureau was
an emphatic denial of permission to
cancel the date. esHas
And yet the boys did not fill the en-
gagement at BuZzard.
There was only m liveryman In
Terminal, and his price for the drive
to Buzzard was $40, so the boys
Clipped in and paid him 500 to write
out a statement to the effect that he
had refused to make the trip in the
face of an approaching storm. They
sent his statement to the bureau.

TEDD US VIEW OF 1T.

We learn from, Colonel Roose4elt's
remarks at Saratoga and from the
speeches of other less eminent but mo
less ardent brethera that abtut all
that is needed to win the war is a re.
publican congress at Washington ard
a general influx of good republicans
into state offices observes the New
York World. Had there been a re.
publican congress in Washington dur.
ing the last year a very different re-
cord would have been achieved in the
conduct of the war. Where we now
have 1900, 600 troops in France we
should have had 2, 400, 900 troops.
Where u troops gained three miles
on the Belleau-F ontenoy front yes
terday they would have. gained six
miles. Where an American soldier
brought in 159 prisoners he woulc
have brought in 318 prisoners.
Where the American troops began te
check the German advance LOCO
yards with their rifles they wouIc
have done it at 2, 900 yards. All wal
achi evements would double spontan
eously with a republican congress t,
uphold the plans of the President ant
Z investigate him and. see that he die
not get anything he wanted. With
republican congress, Russia woul'
not have collapsed and the German
would not have begun a spring often
sive. Democrats are VIGOROUSLY in
efficient, Germany is afraid of a re
. publican congress, but the Kaise
merely laughs at a democratic con
gress. The sure way to win the wa
is to eliminate politics by electing
] republican congress-. Then all the 20
litics would be played by republicans
which isinot politics at all, but 10
per cent patriotism.
