IRON CHANCELLOR
CALLED GLADSTONE
A POOR STATESMAN
Bismarck Thought English
man Had Too Great Facil-
ity in opecch Man of
Deep Emotions.
W. B. nichmond reports In the North
American Review for September conver
eatlons he hftd with Prince Bismarck nt
Frledrlclisruh, 18S7-1890. Speaking of Mr.
Gladstone, Bismarck eald: "Your Prime
Jllnliter Is poisoned by the venom of his
oratory! If his facility of diction and his
command of words wore more restrained
he would not bo so great an orator, but
a more reliable statesman. If God spares
him, Mr. Oladatono will ruin England."
This was said In conjunction with some
remarks upon Homo Itulo for Ireland!
"So go eminent could afford to grant It
now; It Is too late. It would wreck a
Tory or Radical ministry to do so, cs
peclally now when Imperialism has been
so doftly established In tho public minds
of Englishmen by Disraeli," speaking of
whom Bismarck said: "I like him! ho
Is a great statesman and he takes his
part like a man. Your politicians do not
drink enough. Think of Pitt and Fox
whom havo you now to r.nmnnr win.
thoso 'two-bottlo men,' whoso decisions
wero prompt, decisive and virile? Now
you have given your drink to the lower
classes, who are becoming your masters,
and dangerous ones. too. bv nnd hv ,,.!..
the franchlso Is extended practically to
unlorsa! suffrage."
liismnrcK is described as having a
sensitive, emotional temperament. "But

a nro within mo still which burns at
rncs with fury." Upon that I asked.
..iVcJ'?u ln aI'ty 'ho Iron Chancellor?"
No, he said, "not naturally; tho Iron
I havo created to use when necessary."
CALLED FRANCE "ENEMY."
"Germany," said Bismarck. "Is a new
empire, and It must be protected from
possJblo assault by one or two or both
Powers, one to the cast, the other to tho
west of us. You must remember that tho
next Vnr between Franco and Germany
will mean extinction for one. We Ho be
tween two lines of fire: France Is our
bitter enemy, and Russia I do not trust
i eace may be far more dishonorable
man war, ana Tor war wo must bo pio
rared. Therefore, while Germany's very
life as a nation Is at stake, I cannot
give the attention that I should other
wise, wish to do as regards the encour
agement of the arts of peace, howevor
much I may believe thorn to be as you
say, necessary to tho highest develop
ment of a nation as a whole."

A. O. Howard, a Nebraska man, has In
vented a device which sounds a warning
when n third party bleak? in on the
wire, and which also Identifies the culprit
phone.
As there are about 3,000,000 party line
telephones In operation In the United
States, It can bo seen that the device Ii
destined to affect a great many people
and to check a firmly established custom.
Tho man whoso Invention marks tho
doom of eavesdropping Is the possessor of
a bonda fide photograph, showing a
farmer's wife at work at her sewing mn
chlne with the receiver of tho telephone
firmly bound to her car, so that she may
not miss a single word of tho conversa
tion of her neighbors throughout the en
tire day,
Howard's dcvlco has been tried out on
a number of party lines and has proved
practical. It Is the result of 11 years'
experimentation.
"Ono of tho questions most frequently
asked of mo by new subscribe! s." says
Howard, who himself is In the telephone
business, "is this: 'Does every ono on tho
line have an opportunity to hear what I
say when I am talking to another party?'
I am forced to acknowledge that such Is
tho case. One farmer's wife asked mo
that question 11 years ago. When I re
plied she asked me If there was not In
existence a telephone that would give
private service on a party line. When I
told her that I had never heard of such
an Instrument she said some bright tele
phone man had better get busy and in
vent one; it would make his fortune. I
took the tip, got busy, and believe I have
solved the problem."
Mr. Howard's devlco can be readily at
tached to any telephone. The user oper
ates his telephone ln the old manner, ex
cept that he turns a little switch Just as
soon as he begins to talk. Tills switch
starts a mechanism which is timed by a
small clock. An indicator points out the
time the conversation continues and the
telephone connection Is automatically cut
off at the end of four minutes. If during
tho conversation some other subscriber
on the line picks up his receiver, the re
moval of the Instrument from th hook
produces a musical sound, which not only
notifies the users, but Identifies tho ono
who Is listening. ,
DISC PRODUCES SOUND.
The Identifying sound is produced by
means of a disc carrying toothed pro.
Jcctlons on Its extremity, which come In
contact with a pair of keynote tongues.
These tongues produce the musical signal,
which Is of a high or a low note, to
reniesent the long or the short ring used
to call the different subscribers on the
party line. Inasmuch as most party lines
have ficm four to twenty users, there
are tho corresponding number of dif
ferent signals or musical sounds by means
of which the location of the receiver Just
removed 's learned.
The device thus has tho twofold effect
of measuring the length of a conversa
tion and Identifying the eavesdropper.
The Inventor believes that cutting down
unnecessary conversation, by automati
cally shutting off tho connection nt the
end of four minutes, will effect a saving
of 50 per cent, or more on batteries, and
that It will eventually result ln reduced
telephone rates.
It Is, however, very doubtful If most
countr.v subscriber? will take kindly to
tho deice which will cut off some of their
keenest pleasures, for thero Is no douht
that many faun wives meet and talk In
company on the rural lines In a way
which should be regarded as perfectly le
gitimate. At such times n frantic call
for a doctor Is always regarded and un
der ordinary circumstances thero Is ery
little business need for the telephone at
the hours when It Is used for neighborly
talk. Rut business methods are moving
Into tho country along with scientific Im
provements on the farm, nnd forbid the
use of ecn the homo Instrument for such
purposes.
SPRINGFIELD. Mo., Sept. M.-Few
residents of the Oark region havo a cor
icct Idea of Its extent, topography and
natural advantages.
Tho Ozark region Is un elevated lime
stone district In parts of Missouri, Ar
kansas. Oklahoma, Illinois and Kansas.
The larger part of the main elevation
lies In Mlssoyrl nnd is roughly bounded
on the not th by the Missouri River, on
the west by a lino running from Boone
vlllc. Mo., to tho northwest corner of
Jasper County and then southwest to the
vicinity of Fott Smith, Ark. Tho south
ern boundary follows the course of tho
Arkansas River until the lowlands nro
reached and then cuts acioss in an li
regular diagonal to the Mississippi River,
near Cape Girardeau. The eastern
boundary follows tho Mississippi River
ftom Cape Girardeau to a point about
30 miles from St. Louis and then across
to the Missouri Itlver.
Tile Ozarks contain three main sub
divisions or belts of country, each with
characteristic expiesslons. The divisions
arc tho Ozark dome, the Boston Moun
tain plateau and the Ouachita Mountains.
Tho Ozark dome Is a region known as
the Ozark plateau, the Ozark Mountains
oi the Ozark hills.
The maximum elevation of tho Ozark
dome is 1S0O feet, the minimum 900 feet.
1 he crest line averages 13no feet abova
the sea level and the average elevation
of tho whole region is 10M feet.
Tho Boston Mountain plateau Is higher
than the Ozark dome. Its maximum ele
vation being about 2300 feet nbovo sea
level and tho average for the whole otea
about 1S00 feet.
This plateau is an elongated block of
highland resting ln a southern north
west position between tho White and
Arkansas Rivers. Its eastern end lies In
Independence and Whlto Counties, Ar
kansas, along tho boundary of tho Mis
sissippi lowlands, and Its western portion
extends Into eahtcin Oklahoma.
Unlike tho Ozark dome, which slopes
gradually from Its crest to Its boun
dniies, the Boston Mountain plateau
drops abruptly on Its northern sldo and
slopes rapidly on Its southern side to the
adjacent lowlands.
The Ouachita Mountain region Is the
lowest of tho thrco areas of the Ozarks.
It lies south of the southern slopo of
the Boston Mountain plateau and In
cludes all that part of Arkansas bounded
by tho plateau on the north, tho White
River lowland on tho east and the coastal
plain on the south.
That pnrt of tho Ouachita region lying
north of the Arkansas River Is low, the
lowland belts ranging from SOO to 800
fe"t and Its plateau and ridges ranging
from COO to 1000 feet In elevation. The
mountains consist of alternating narrow
cast to west ridges separated from occa
sional flat-topped plateaus by broad low
land hclts. None of these plateaus reaches
tho elevation of the Boston Mountain
Plateau.
Nearly one-half of tho entlro area Is
too rough for profitable cultivation, but
much of that part Is available for the
great orchards of the Ozarks nnd live
stock farming.
The whole region lies so far In the In
terior that Its climate Is wholly conti
nental. The mean annual tomperature of
the northern boundary Is 64.8 degrees.
The climate, theiefore. Is practically the
same ns that of central western States.
Teinporatuio conditions are favorable to
agriculture and the growing season Is
long enough to mature all the ordinary
crops grown In the central part of tho
United States.

A blfr yellow 'bu, similar to 40 that
the United Traction Improvement Com
pany hopes to have running on the streets
within a. few months, was on exhibition
today In City Hall Square and In the
shopping districts.
The United Traction Improvement Com
pany has asked Councils for a franchise
to run It 'buses east and west on Mar
ket street and north and south on Broad
street. No action has yet been taken
by Councils.
The earn will seat 48 persons Inside and
on the roof. They are 21 feet long and
are propelled by gasoline nnd lighted by

of 14 mile an hour.
Walter C. Mclntlre, president of the

granted, the fare would be six tickets for
a quarter.

Frenchman Points Out Conquests

ROME, Sept. 28. The former French
Minister, President Herthou, recently had
an Interview with the Paris correspondent
of the Glornalo d'ltnlla, In which lie
pointed out tho advantage Italy would
derive If she departed from her present
policy and Joined tho Allies, He took It
for granted that they would bo victori
ous. "If Italy Is on our side," he says, "and
has her share In tho glorious combat and
the final victory. Is It necessary to enu
merale all she will gain? Sho will receive
absolutely and finally everything Austria
has hitherto denied her. If France nnd
England will not object, Russia will not
withhold her consent, and thus the three
great Powers will see to It that Italy will
keep what she has conquered by the might
of her army."

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 they 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-night units with
them.
