Heavier Trucks Coming.

At a recent meeting Of the Cleve-
land and Detroit sections Of the So
ciety of Automobile Engineers, 2. d.
g.itchfield, a factory manager, express
ed the belief that the heavy tonnage
truck of the future would be some
form of the multiple-wheei vehicle, just
as the multiple-wheeI freight car
succeeded the single-truck type in the
transportation of heavy loads. Expert
menis have been made with the six
wheeled truck of tbis description. and
the results are said TO beyery crafty
ing, easier on both the tires and reads.

How German Potash is Mined.


Potash I'm Germany occurs in the
form of rock salt and runs in seams
of 80 feet or more in thickness. As
mined. 1t has about the same consist
ency as The common rock salt of COM
merce and its grinding is easy. 1t Is
ground to about the fineness of a
coarse sand; in this form it is used
for domestic agriculture and at the
present time 1t is also mostly exported
in this form. The depths at which the
true potash deposits are situated rem
der It necessary I'd sink shafts leading
to levels of as much as 5000 feet be-
low the surface. Horizontal cuttings
extend up to two miles in length.
The miners themselves are, unlike
coal miners, entirely free from the dan
ger Of fire damp. Occasionally dam
ger arises from hydrogen, the blue
flames Of which may sometimes be
seen Pickering on the walls after a
blasting operation in a newly opened
mine. Sulphuretted hydrogen has
caused the death of few miners and
carbonic acid gas renders suffocation
possible.

The Ark Of the Covenant was the
sacred chest which the Lord directed
Moses to make to contain the tables
of the law which he had received on
Mount Sinai. 1t was four and one
half feet long. two and one-fourth feet
wide and two and one-fourth feet high.
1t was covered within and without
with gold and was carried by slaves
inserted in rings on the corners. This
Ark of the Covenant was the most
sacred possession of the Israelites. 1t
was placed in the holy Of HOLES in the
tabernacle and later in similar posi-
ton in Solomon's temple. The ark was
carried from one place to another and
what finally became of it is unknown.

Cats and piphtheria.

at is widely accepted belief that
cats may suffer from diphtheria and
convey the Infection to human beings"
saws the Journal of the American
Medical association in recountIng the
experiments by which Doctor Savage
proved that this is entirely without
foundation.
Doctor Savage planted vast numbers
of diphtheria bacilli in the noses and
throats of kittens. but in no instance
did these take the disease. and within
"A hours the bacilli were dead. Doc
tor Savage reviewed all the evidence in
connection with epidemics of diph-
liberia and came 10 the conclusion that
so far as it duplicates cats it is quite
valueiess.

states that registered opposition
to the proposed amendment took
pains to see that nothing was
done to even suggest that woman
suffrage was inevitable.
There ought not to be any
great embarrassment about this
lack of provision, however. and
certainly no need for a special
session Of the Legislature OF any
state, for all that is required Of
any person demanding to be reg
istered is, subject to specific
causes OF disqualification, COM
pliance with the following re-
quiremcnts:
Citizenship Of the United
States.
age OF twenty-one years or
upwards.
Residence OF one year in the
State.
Residence in the county, or
legislative district Of Baltimore
City, OF six months"
If the amendment be ratified
in due course this summer, it may
be taken for granted that the suf-
frage leaders will make assur-
ance doubly sure that no detail,
Isuch as polling house machinery
or equipment, or any combina-
ton of details, be allowed to
stand in the way of the actual
casting of the ballot.

New Idea in Ventilation.

The Ayrton antigas fan, which, ac-
cording to Munsey's Magazine, may
revolutionize all our systems of venti-
linton. is based on the principle that a
fan should be brought down sharply
from the perpendicular to the horizon
tai. and thus drive the air forward in
steady puffs and set up fresh cur
rent from the rear. The inventor who
Is an EnglishwOman. has given public
demonstrations in London with glass
models of dugouts and tunnels from
which the fan readily expels the smoke.
At one demonstration, Mrs. Ayrton,
with a three-inch fan, sat at one end
of a six-f0ot table while smoke poured
forth from funnel at the other end.
The action of the miniature fan not
only dispelled the smoke but quickly
gained such control over it that it pre-
vented IL from coming out of the fun
mel. The fan works on the hinge-and-
spring principle and is constructed of
light material. 1t has been used sue
cessfully in factories. theaters, mines
and sewers.-Youth's Companion.

AirpIanea il MinIna operatIons.

1t is predicted that the airplane
and the dirigible will prove a great
stimulus TO the mining industry in pre-
senting a means of getting material
and men to and from locations which
are known to be rich with ore and
which are at the present time inacces-
sible. There are many such places
known to exist. but the cost of build
ing a roadway to them would be so
great as TO be prohibitive. Attention
to this phase of the subject has been
recently attracted by a report made
by Doctor Lyon, supervisor of the min
ing stations for the United States bu-
reau of mines. BY this means a regu-
Tar communication could be main
tanned with sections which are not to
be reached by any ordinary means. 1t
is also suggested that the same means
might be of great value for getting res
cue apparatus to the scene of mining
disasters.

weighing Ice at Home.

A close estimate of the weight of
ice can be reached by multiplying to-
gether the length. breadth and thick
ness Of the block in inches, and divld-
ing the product by 30. This will be
very closely the weight in pounds.
Thus. If block is 10 by 10 by 0, the
product is 900 and this divided by 30
gives 80 pounds, as correct weight A
block 10 by 10 by 6 weighs 20 pounds.
This simple method can be easily APP
piled. and II may serve to remove un
just suspicious. or to detect short

HISTORY BOOKS ARE WRONG
Documentary Evidence Concerning
Declaration Of Independence and
Lincoln's Gettysburg Speech.

The Declaration of Independence
wasn't signed on July a. 1T76. Abra-
ham Lincoln didn't dash off his famous
Gettysburg address on an old envel-
ope as he rode on the train TO Gettys-
burg. Most likely. George Washing
ton never chopped down the cherry
tree. The manuscript division of the
library Of congress isn't sure about
the cherry tree episode. because
George didn't write letter about 1t.
but 1t holds documentary evidence re-
garding the other two illusions of our
school days, so the history books that
we studied so trustfully We're wrong.
The manuscript division has the two
original drafts of the Gettysburg
speech. one carefully written on Off
cial White house stationery, partly IN
pencil, and the other In ink, both dis
playing Lincoln's well-known hand
writing. The first draft and the re-
vised copy differ slightly from the adj
dress as It was finally delivered.
AS for the Declaration of lndepen-
dence. the official journal of the Con-
tinental congress for July A. 11I6,
shows that on that day congress adopt
ed the declarations by vote, but the
signing, which we make so much of,
was deferred as unimportant. Most
of the members signed the document
a month later, while in 1871. five years
later, some other congressman who
were not in Office in 1TT6 also added
their signatures, thereby gaining Inn

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR
JOHN WALTER SMITH
IT'S TENNEssEE'S TURN

Attorney General Armstrong
has sent an opinion to Governor
Richie i'm which he takes the
ground that no legislation by the
State is needed to confer suffrage
upon women in case the propoS-
ed nineteenth Amendment is rat
fled by thirty-six states. len
nessee is expected TO be the thlr-
tv-sixth state. although that is by
no means conceded by the anti
suffragists. Its Senate yesterday
ratified by a vote of twenty-five
10 four and the House is sched-
uled to act on Tuesday. The pre-
diction of the suffragists is that
the House will promptly follow
the lead of the Senate.
If Tennessee ratihes, or, failing
it, any other state, Attorney-Gen-
eral Armstrong; opinion is that
the amendment expunges the
word "male" from the Constitu-
ton of Maryland just as the
word white" was wiped out by
the fifteenth amendment. In
support of this he quotes decis-
ions of the United States Supreme
Court. among them the Annapo-
lis case. to show that the fifteenth
amendment operated immediate
" upon its adoption to vest the
right to vote in the negro.
The suffrage amendment fol-
lows. in effect. the wording of the
fifteenth amendment. The An
napolis case arose on the Act of
1908. which Incorporated the

ney-General Armstrong says that
prior to its passage "the right to
vote in Annapolis was vested in
persons entitled to vote for mem
bership in the General Assembly.

white male citizens. and there
