asks whether anyone can tell him how
much electric energy an average ele-
phant can produce in this way and
the cost of necessary machinery. En-
gineering seems inclined to treat the
rise to various arrangements for pro-

practically prohibit the exportation.
The New York Paper Dealers’ asso-
ciation has taken the matter up with
the view of asking for retaliatory leg-
islation by congress, 'the enactment
of such a law would close up many
houses in New York that confine their
business entirely to the importation of
French and German rags, and it is as-
serted that as a result the prices of
all kinds of paper will be advanced.
It is understood that France will take
the same action. Peretz Rosenberg, a
member of one of the New' York

The Lincoln county stock breeders

its object the improvement of the

planes would he rather a painful spec-
tacle. Outside of these methods, how-
ever, the English paper does not see
how the enterprising promoters of this
plan could make the energy of the ani-
mals available. It can hardly be sup-
posed that the elephants could be
trained to project water through their
trunks against the buckets of a Pelton
wheel; and besides we have no means
of calculating the force of such a jet,
ind could not conscientiously recom-
mend the method! At this particular
time when animal strength is being
sverywhere replaced by mechanical
motive power, to the great advantage
if our friends the domestic animaU,
the idea of hitching elephants to a dy-
namo is at least queer. Let us hope,
for the sake of these sympathetic
pachyderms, that the humor of the
?ditor of Engineering will ward off
from them this cruel burden."
hibitive, and the matter will not end
1 there, for France is sure to take some
action along the same line. There has
been talk here of placing a duty on
rags for nearly two years.
"in the calendar year 1905 there were
$2,389,523 worth of rags other than
woolen imported into the United
States, about one-half coming from
Germany. There were imported from
Germany $3,780,554 worth of paper and
the German manufacturers think that
if an export duty were placed on rags
more paper would be exported to this
country. Before rags were imported
to any considerable extent from Ger-
many paper manufacturers there could
obtain rags for almost any price they
wanted to pay; but the demand from
the United States has increased so
in the last few years that they have
had to pay much higher prices.”
Save the Babies,
|J AUi MORTALITY is something frightful, We can hardly realize that of
j| all the children born in civilized countries^ twentytwo per cent,, or nearly
ono-quarter, die before they reach.one year; thirtyseven per cent,, or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesibate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma-
jority of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

ELECTRIC LAMP LIGHTER.
Device by Which an Inaccessible
Kerosene Lamp May Be Easily
Lighted.
A device for lighting a ruby lamp
Is here shown, in which a spark from
a jumpspark coil vaporizes the oil
and ignites it. The ruby lamp (A)
Is mounted on a board (B), somewhat
larger than the base of the lamp.
Two binding posts (C and D) are
placed on the board and connected to
the secondary of the jump spark coil
(E). A wire is fastened to binding
post (D) and soldered to the lamp at 'number of the birds, notably the
1. The »iie (G) is inclosed in a piece brown thrasher and the song sparrow,
of rubber tubing, such as is used for progress in short flights, as from bush
insulating in automobiles, and the ex- I ,0 bush, with a queer, eccentric or
tremitj so located that it will nearly j bobbing motion as if their flapping
touch the wick. The spark from the tails were a great hindrance. A WI1-
ubrator would spoil the plate if the gon snipe flies in a zig-zag line; a
jump spark coil were put in the dark goldfinch in long undulations or
room, so it should be put outside, or bounds. All of these and many other

lent” or "clattering" wingbeats; the
wings of the grouse hum, those of
the woodcock and the mourning dove
whistle.
The course of flight is a distinguish-
ing character of many birds, says St.
Nicholas. The grouse rises gradually
while flying in a straight course; the
woodcock rises to a height of several
feet, or even yards, then flies straight
away; the cuckoo's flight is also in a
straight line, but peculiarly arrow-
like, being graceful and silent, the
long slender tail and body of the bird
still further suggesting an arrow. A
