IRON CHANCELLOR
CALLED GLADSTONE
1 POOR 'STATESMAN
Bismarck Thought English
man Had Too Great Facil
ity' in Speech Man of
Deep Emotions.
tV. B. Richmond reports In the Noith
American Revlow for September conver
sation lio had with Prince- Bismarck at
Krlcdrlchsruh, 1BS7-1S90. Spenltlng of Mr.
Gladstone, Bismarck Bald: "Tour Prima
Jllnlstcr Is poisoned by the venom of his
oratory; if his facility of diction and his
command of words were moro restrained
ho would not bo so great an orator, but
a moro reliable statesman. If Qod spares
him, Mr. Gladstone will ruin England."
This was said In conjunction with somo
remarks upon Homo Uulo for Ireland:
"No government could afford to grant It
now: It Is too lato. It would wreck a
Tory or Radical ministry to do so, es
pecially now whon Imperialism has been
eo deftly established In the public minds
of Englishmen by Disraeli," speaking of
whom Bismarck said: "I ilka him: ho
is a great statesman and ho takes his
part like a man. Your politicians do not
flrlnk enough. Think of Pitt and Fox
whom havo you now to compare with
those 'two-bottle men,' whoso decisions
wero prompt, decisive and vlrllo? Now
you havo given your drink to tho lowor
classes, who arc becoming your masters,
and dangorous ones, too, by and by, when
tho franchlso Is extended practically to
universal suffrage."
Bismarck Is described as having a
sensitive, emotional temperament. "But
I have," ho said, speaking of himself,
"a flro within mo still which burns at
times with fury." Upon that I asked,
Aro you In reality tho Iron Chancellor?"
"No," he said, "not naturally; tho Iron
I havo created to uso when necessary."
CALLED FRANCE "ENEMY."
"Germany," said Bismarck, "Is a new
empire, and It must bo protected from
posslblo assault by one or two or both
Powers, ono to tho east, the other to tho
vest of us. You must remember that tho
next war between Franco and Germany
Mil mean extinction for one. We lie be
tween two lines of fire: Franco Is our
bitter enemy, and Russia I do not trust.
rence may oe rar moru dishonorable
than war, and for war wo must bo pre
pared. Therefore, while Germany's very
llfo as a nation Is at stake, I cannot
give tho attention that I should other
wise wish to do as regards tho encour-
asemont or tho arts of peace, however
......... ihu, ui.iuvu mem 10 dc as JOU
say, necessary to the highest develop
ment of a nation as a whole."
!tk'MIlrl"l'1's unprcparcdncss for
war tho Prince spoke with emphasis; he
was 'despondent" about England's nr
cct of that matter. "War." ho s-ild

Pleasure of Eavesdropping
Made Hazardous by In
vention Which Identifies
Culprit Besides Announc
ing Presence.
A. G. Howard, a Nebraska man, has In
vented a device which sounds a warning
when a thlid party breaks In on the
wire, and which also Identities the culprit
phone.
As there nre about 9,000,000 party line
telephones In operation In tho United
Stntes, it can be seen that the device Is
destined to affect a great many people
and to check a firmly established custom.
The man whoso Invention marks the
doom of eavesdropping Is the poscssor of
a bonda llde photograph, showing a
farmei's wife at work at her sewing ma
chine with the receiver of the telephone
rlrmly bound to her car, so that she may
not miss a single woid of tho conversa
tion of her neighbors throughout the en
tire day.
Hownrd's device has been tried out on
n, number of partv lines nnd has proved
practical It Is the result of 11 years'
expel iniontntlon.
"One of the questions most fiequmtly
nsked of mo by now subscribers." sns
Howaid, who himself Is In tho telephono
business, "Is this: 'Does ever. one on tho
line hao an opportunity to hear what I
ay when I am talking to another party?"
I am foiccd to acknowledge that such Is
the case. Ono faimer's wife asked mo
that question 11 years ago. When I 10
plled she asked mo If there was not In
existence n telephone thnt would give
private service on a party line. When I
told her thnt I had never heard of such
an Instrument she said some bright tele
phone man had better get busy nnd In
vent ono; It would make his foi tune I
took the tip. got busy, nnd believe I have
solvtd tho pioblem."
Mr Howard's device can bo roadlly at
tached to any telephone. Tho user oper
ates his telephone In the old mannti, ex
cept that he turns a little switch Just as
soon as he begins to talk This switch
starts n, mochniilsm which Is timed by a
small clock. An Indicator points out tho
time tho couveisatlon continues and the
telephone connection Is uutomatlcnlly cut
off at tho end of four minutes. If timing
tho conversation some other subscriber
on tho line picks up his receiver, tho re
moval of tho Instrument fiom th. hook
pioduces a musical sound, which not only
notifies the users, but Identifies tho ono
who Is listening.
DISC PRODUCES SOUND.
Tho Idcntlfjlng sound Is pioduced hv
means of u dlt-u catrylng toothed pro.
jectlons on Its extremity, which come In
contact with a pair of keynote tongues.
ThCbt tongues pioduce tho musical signal,
which Is of a high or a low note, to
lepiefccnt tho long or tho shoit ring used
to call the different bulisci Iborn on tho
party lino. Inasmuch na most party lines
havo fium foui to twenty useis. thcio
aiu tho coiicspondlng uuiiibei of dlf
feient signals or musical sounds by means
of which thu location of tho iccelvcr jua
lemovcd 's learned.
The tlevioo thus, has tho twofold effect
of meusuilng the length of u tonveisa.
lion and Identlfjlng the eavesdropper.
Tho Inventor btlleven that cutting down
unneceaciiry conversation, by automati
cally shutting off the connection, at the
end tf four minutes, will effect u saving
of K0 per cent, or more on batteries, and
that It will eventually lesult in retimed
telephone rates.
It , however., very doubtful If mobt
count) y subsci Ibcrt will take kindly to
tho device which will cut off bopio of their
keenest pit-asm es. for there M no doubt
that many f hi m wives meet and talk In
conipanv on the lurul' lines In a way
whkh should bo legardcd us peifectly le
gitimate At such times a ftantlo call

FIVE STATES OWN '
PARTS OF FAMOUS
OZARK MOUNTAINS
Main Elevation in Missouri.
Arable Half Occupied by
Great Orchards and Stock
Farms.
SPRINGFIELD, JIo , Sept. 28.-Few
residents of tho Ozark legion havo a cor
icct Idea of its extent, topography and
natural advantages.
Tho Ozaik region Is an elevated llme
ttono district In parts of JIlssouiI Ai
karisas, Oklahoma, Illinois and Kansas.
Tho larger part of ihe main olovatlon
lies In Missouri and Is roughly bounded
on the north by the Missouri River, on
tho west by a line running from Boone
ville. Mo., to tho northwest coiner ot
Jasper County and then southwest to the
vicinity of Fort Smith, Ark. The south
ern boundary follows the course of tho
Arkansas River until the lowlands nre
reached and then cuts across In an li
legular diagonal to tho Mississippi River,
neai Capo Gliiudeau. The eastern
boundary follows the Mississippi Rlvor
fiom Capo Glinrdeau to a point about
30 miles from St. Louis and then across
to tho Missouri River.
The Ozarks contain threo main sub
divisions or belts of countiy, each with
cliaraeteiistlc expiesslons. The divisions
nic the Ozaik dome, the Boston Moun
tain plateau and the Ouachita Mountains.
Tho Ozark dome Is a region known as
the Ozaik plateau, tho Ozuik Mountains
ot the Ozaik hills.
Tho maximum elevation of the Ozark
dome Is 1S0O fcot, the minimum S00 feet.
The ciest lino nveuiges 1300 teet abov
tho sea level and the average elevation
of the wholu legion l.s 1050 feet.
The Boston Mountain plateau Is higher
than the Ozaik dome Its inuximum ele
vation being about 2300 feet abovo tea
level and the average for tho whole area
about 1S0O feet.
This plateau Is an elongated block of
highland icstlng In a southern north
west position between the AVhlte and
Arkansus Rlvcis. Its eastern end lies In
Independence and Whlto Counties, Ar
kansas, along the boundary of tho Mis
sissippi lowlands, und Its western poi tlon
extends Into eastern Oklahoma.
Unlike tho Ozark dome, which slopes
giuduully fiom its crest to its boun
dalles, the Boston Mountain plateau
di ops abiuptly on its northern side and
slopes rapidly on Its southern olde to the
adjacent lowlands.
The Ouachita Mountain region Is tho
lowest of the threo areas of tho Ozarks.
It lies south of tho southern slope of
the Boston Mountain plateau and In
cludes nil that pait of Arkansas bounded
by the plateau -on the north, tho White
River lowland on the cast and the coastal
plain on the south.
That part of tho Ouachita region lying
north of the Arkansas River Is low, tho
lowland belts rnnglng from 300 to 800
feet and Its plateau and ridges ranging
from BOO to 1000 feet In elevation. The
mountains consist of alternating narrow
Least to west ridges separated from occa
sional flat-topped plateaus by broatl low
land belts. None of those plateaus reaches
tho elevation of tho Boston Mountain
Plateau.
Nearly one-half of the entire area Is
too rough for prolltuble cultivation, but
much of that part Is available for the
gieat orchards of the Ozarks and live
stock faimlng.
The whole region lies so far In tho In
terior that Its climate Is wholly conti
nental. Tho mean annual temperature of
the northern boundary Is E-1.8 degrees.
The climate, thciefore. Is practically the
same n that of central western States.
Tcmpoiature conditions nre favorable to
agriculture nnd Hie growing season Is
long enough to mature all the ordinary
ei ops piow n In the central part of tho
United Stntes.
FRESNO DISTRICT DRIEST
Section in California Has Had Least
Rainfall.
According to the Weather Bureau re
turns one of tho driest spots In the
United States is the Fresno dlstilct of
California They havo had only 3i per
cent of the normal rainfall since March
1. Tho West coast genoinlly has been
short of precipitation. Another dry dis
trict centres In St. Louis, which has only
32 per cent, of normal ralnfnll. Tho
Ohio Valley lias had fiom a half to two
thirds of the usual quota, and there are
homo very dry spots In the Southwest
and tho Southeast that have not et boon
cleared up. But generally the country Is
fairly well supplied with moisture for the
late summer season. Streams are falily
full and lesorvolrs nio not low as a rule.
The distribution Is uneven, however.
Fort Worth, Tex , has 191 per cent, of
noimnl. and Fort Smith, Ark., only 4S
per cent. Somo portions of Kansas have
three weeks of 100 per cent, weather, prac
tically arresting vegetable growth nnd
cutting off the corn crop for anything else
but fodder.
2,000,000 IDLE IN GERMANY

GENEVA, Sept 29.-A dispatch from
Munich estimates that 2,000,000 men and
women are idlo lu Germany on uccount

The number of unemployed Is Increas

They Saved $75
A fire insurance agency needed a counter
and a couple of filing cabinets.
They had about decided to have the counter
made by a local carpenter, at a cost of $175,
when a Library Bureau salesman dropped in,
He showed them that for $150 rhey could buy
a counter composed of L. B, filing cabinets,
cupboards, etc., as shown above.
He got the order. The insurance men got a
better counter and got it right away,
Result: $75 in money saved ($25 on the
counter and $50 for the filing cabinets which
they did not have to buy), besides considerable
floor space. And if the insurance men move,
they can take the counter-hight units with
them.
