In this connection, we desire to
call attention to the sharp drop in

British Empire which drop in price

ASKS MORE RELIEF

According to press dispatches
from Washington, D. c., Senator
B. X. Wheeler has asked the w.
P. A. for an increased quota in
Butte and Anaconda to take care
of men out of work because of the
closing of mines and smelters.
Wheeler also has protested any
lowering of the tariff on zinc as
such move would cause more un-
employment among miners and
smeltermen, the dispatches said.

GOLD CURRs DEpREssIONs

1t has always been gold mining
which has been called upon in
times of depression to restore pros
perity. During the hard time in
California and the gold rush known
as the days of AZ ensued. This
gold rush and the subsequent pro-
duction of gold was responsible for
clearing the business skies at that
time, and the discoveries of gold
later made in the Klondyke district
of Alaska and the discovery OF gold
in the Cripple Creek district of
Colorado and in the Goldfield area
of Nevada, cleared subsequent de-
pressions in the United States.

GOLD-PAVED HIGHWAYS

Fifty thousand miles of highway
in the United States could be COW
cred with gold, 20 feet wide. with
the billion dollars of gasoline taxes
that were paid last year to the state
and federal governments. These
roads would connect all the prin-
cipal cities throughout the country.
The figure of $4,000 miles Of
road is based upon one ounce of
the metal to every 10 feet of road
at the new high price of S35 an
ounce. At the 1881 price of $40
an ounce, the nations gasoline tax
bill would provide enough funds to
gid $500 miles of road, or one
third of the distance between the
earth and the moon.

Swimming Island

In lake near Eisenach, in Thu
ringia, a district Of midland Ger
many Astounding in natural wonders,
there is to be found a swimming is
land. The motorist who proceeds
from Eisenach to the little country
town of Vacha will discover this
lake, not far from the village of
Donges. 'sHautsee," the lake Is
called, and on it swins an island
some 100 feet long and 60 feet
across The island sometimes stays
for months on end at the same point
and then, without previous indica-
ton, will slip away, often by night,
to another spot on the lake. A mys-
FERROUS quiet prevails about this
lake, with which many a supersti-
tious legend has become associated.

On q recent trip through West
ern Talbot county, states the editor
of the Saint Michaels Comet. we
visited the turkey and chicken farm
Of Mr.. Ernest Burns, on the Bog
man road. We were surprised to
learn that more turkeys are raised
here than ON any other farm in
Maryland, and this was the first
farm in the county to raise turkeys
on commercial scale.
Starting twelve years ago with
a flock of 5000, more of the birds
have been raised each year, until
there are $4,000 this season. His
customers extend from Maine to
Florida, and the matured turkeys
are sold mostly direct to the retail
stores.
His trucks with $4,000 pound
load of turkeys or chickens, make
frequent trips. A new house has
been built each year, and few
years ago he began to raise chick
ems. This year he plans to raise to
maturity 100000 broilers. The tur-
keys are all Matched and developed
on the premises, and there is an
Office building and incubator house
under construction in order that
chickens may be Matched instead of
buying them. 10000 chickens can
be hatched at once. or 10000 tur-
keys.
Both chickens and turkeys are of
the highest grade, fancy quality.
the chickens being mostly a cross
between New Hampshire reds and
barred rock, which mature about
three weeks earlier than the rocks.
The turkeys and chickens are
kept entirely separate. so that they
cannot get on the same ground,
wire porches, the most sanitary way,
until they are 13 weeks old and
they are not subject to disease.
After that age they are put on the
range.
To take care of the fowls twelve
men are regularly employed and
more at times. 1t requires 100 coal
burners to keep the breeders heat
ed.

Standing on the bridge Of the liner
Mauritania the navigating officer
can watch an indicator giving an
instant and continuous measurement
of the depth Of the sea under his
keel. Taking soundings formerly
was the work of ten minutes or
more, says Popular Mechanics. The
radio echometer, using a high
frequency beam reflected from the
ocean floor, records the depth of
water many times a minute by a
peak" of light ON a calibrated
scale. Thus it plots a graph of the
contours of the sea bed and helps
the navigator verify his position by
comparison with charts of known
contours.

AUTO HORN BLOWING
NUISANCE

The horn-blowing nuisance again
is under the fire of the Keystone
Automobile Club. This time, how
ever, the Club extends its criticism
to parents who permit children to
operate horns on parked automo-
biles, apparently in the belief the
resulting din is "cute."
1--WE have received many COM
plaints," said George E. Keneipp,
Manager of the Club, about this
form of nuisance. Most of them
come from homes where there is SER
ious illness or where some member
of the family suffers from nervous
disorder. The incessant footing of
horns by children not only annoyed
persons in normal health but often
aggravates the condition Of in
valids."
Horn-blowing by drivers who
fought to know better" continues
to be major problem, the Club
officials declared. Intersection ac-
cidents continue because drivers
place more reliance ON their horns
than their brakes. This condition is
worse in early morning hours when
operators literally bet their lives
they can clear an intersection with
a horn blast.
It Is emphasized by the Club that
horns should be used only as q
warning device in case of sudden
emergency. They were never in
tended to be anything else-much

Half Ton of Paper Yearly
Used by Average Family

The average American family
consumes more than half a ton Of
paper costing about $40 in a year,
according to economists of the for
est service, United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The total consumption in the Unit
ed States in 1887 was shown by CEN
sus figures to be nearly 100000
tons of paper-more than half the
paper produced in the world. The
figure is the highest ever reported
for any one nation. Paper consump-
ton in the United States has prac-
tically doubled in the last Is years,
the forest service reports.
Of the 246 pounds of paper con-
sumed or used by the average per-
son, about 100 pounds represented
newspapers, books, and writing pa
per. The remainder was used as
cartons, building boards, wrapping
papers, and numerous miscellane-
GUS products.
The forest service points out that
four-fifths of the paper consumed
here was made in the United States.
The remainder was imported prin-
cipally in the form of newsprint,
of which about 100000 tons came
from Canada.
In addition to the imports of pa
per, large quantities of pulpwood
and wood pulp of certain kinds are
imported annually for manufacture
into paper in New England, New
York, Pennsylvania, and the lake
states. About half of the wood fiber
in the United States is grown on
foreign soil.

Glass ON Wheels

A railroad train, the coaches of
which were constructed entirely of
glass between wheels and roof, left
Liverpool, England, in November,
1887, on q tour Of important cities
of England, Scotland and Wales TO
demonstrate the possibilities of
glass for construction, homes build
ing and equipment. It required
more than 100000 pieces Of special
glass to construct the exterior of
the train. The interior even had a
glass bathroom. Manufactured by
a Lancashire firm of glass makers,
the train was equipped with prac-
tically every known product Of the
glass-making industry.
