A "Snperinarlne" Boat. A novel' form of high-speed boat has recently been devised by a French en gineer, M. de Lambert, which involves a radical departure from all previous designs of hull. It is termed a "skat ing," or "supQi'marine," boat, for It ia constructed to gllile along the surface of the water rather than experience resistance by being Immersed and pass ing through. This is accomplished by means of five inclined planes which are fixed on tho the bottom of the hull, and which, when the boat is at rest, are a few inches in the watt'f. 'When the engine is started the hull is raised, so that the boat runs with less re sistance on tho inclined planes, which then rest on a mixture of air and water. With a twelve horse power petroleum motor it is reported that a spied of from twenty-six to twenty-eight knots an hour can be made, a rate not always attained by motor-boats with eighty horse-power engines. The new boat is nlso capable of being handled with considerable facility and stopped read ily. Tho attainment of high speed by motor-boats which run on the surface of the water, rather than through it, has attracted some attention lately, and an English high-speed boat whs built where this idea was considered in designing the hull, but the use of the inclined planes to diminish the resist ance as carried out is finite novel, and will doubtless he tried furtherHar per's Weekly.

A large number of buttons now in use. purporting to be made out of horn or bono or ivory, are lu reality niado out of the common potato, which, when treated with certain adds, becomes al most as hard as gtone.

G.. Dun St Ca'i "Weekly Review of Trade" says: Opening of Spring trade is not prccep tibly retarded by the partial interruption to coal mining, exctpt in the immed iate vicinity of tho anthracite mines. High temperature not oniy broadens the demand for seasonable merchandise, but stimulates agricultural operations, reopens northern navigation and starts many contemplated building operations. Were it not for a few labor controversies, the commercial horizen would be cloud less. I'ht some manufacturing plants will be compelled to suspend if the fuel Atipply is cut off, and structural work is inter rupted by demands for higher wages in certain localities. That the year toxtf) started .out to eclipse all records is evidenced by bank exchange, 18 per cent, larger than in the first quarter of the previous prosperous year, while liabilities of commercial fail ures averaged only 8i cents to each tooo of solvent payments through the clearing houses, winch is the lowest commercial death rate for the first three months of any year. Prfjrcss in the iron and steel industry has not suffered as yet from the partial suspension of coal mining, and new busi ness comes forward each week in great volume. Latest developments arc mort pronounced in the structural steel divis ion.

A letter mailed eighteen years, ago hat Juat reached its destination. It was written In the little Island of Al ten by his parents to Able Seaman Hammer, who at that time was on a vessel visiting American ports.

Meanwhile Hammer had settled at Swartzkopf and his pa rents have now succeeded In sending their long delayed letter direct to their son. Woodcock Carrying Its Young. I was shooting snipe near Angola, N. Y., with Ralph West of that place, when the dog made a point in a bunch of popple In one corner of the snipe ground. On our going up to him a woodcock flushed with a young bird about the size of a sparrow between Its legs and flew about thirty yards in plain view. On looking In ahead of the dog we found a nest with another young one in it. Forest and Stream. Rise Liars. Ho, AH Ye A Young Girl said to a One Statement as This burst of true American girl in dignation was caused by the teacher saying that Grape-Nuts, the popular pre-dlgested food, was made of stale bread shipped In and sweetened. The teacher colored up and changed the subject. There Is quite an assortment of trav eling and stay-at-home members of the tribe of Ananias who tell their false hoods for n variety of reasons. In the spring it is the custom on a cattle ranch to have a "round-up." and brand the cattle, so we are going to have a "round-up," and brand these cattle and place them lu their proper pustures. FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school teachers this in cludes "teachers" who have applied to us for a weekly pay if they would say "something nice" about Ci rape Nuts nnd Postum. nnd when we have declined to hire them to do this they get wnspy and show their true colors. This also includes "demonstra tors" and "lecturers" sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there; and these people In structed by the sniall-be-wliiskered-doclor the head of the Institution to tell these prevurlcations (you run speak the stronger word If you like). This same little doctor con ducts u small magazine In which there Is n department of "answers to correspondents," many of the questions as well as the answers being written by the u foresaid doe tor. In this column some time ago ap peared the statement: "No, we can not recommend the line of Orupe Nut., for it Is nothing but bread with glucose poured over U." Right then lie showed his budge as a mem ber of the tribe of Ananias. He may have been 11 member for some time before, and so he has caused these "lecturers" to descend - into tbe ways of the tribe wherever they so. When the youtii lady In New York ut the "iron on" to this "teucher" and branded her right we sent $10.00 to tbe girl for her pluck and bravery. SECOND PASTURE. Editors of "Trade" papers known as grocers' papers. Remember, we don't put the brand on all, by uny meaus. Only those that require it. These members of the tribe have demanded that we carry advertising lu their pupers and when we do not consider it ad visable they institute a cumpuigu of vituperation and slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and tolu them to the Judge to answer. If the pace has bceu hot enough to throw some of these "cattle" over on their backs, feet tied and "bellow ing," do you think we should be blamed? They gambol arouud with tails held high and jump stiff leg ged with a very "cocky" air while they have full range, but when the rope Is thrown over them "It's dif ferent." Should we untie thorn beenns they bloat soft and low? Or should we put the Iron on, so that people will know the brand? Let's keep thorn In tills pasture, anyhow. "THere's a Reason Grape-Nuts Plants That Throw Off Heat. It appears that many plants throw off heat. ' A remarkable Instance Is of fered by the Alpine Boldanella. Its flowers actually bore, or rather melt, their way through the hard snow Sometimes, Indeed, the flower opens before It reaches tbe surface, so that it actually blooms In a little hole in the snow. Usually, however, It reaches the surface and hangs out Its pretty violet bells above the snow, looking as if stuck into It. Growing through the snow Is due to the heat developed by the vegetative process. Wedding Finery Hard to Find. Some of the women of Norway, Me., recently participated In a wedding gown party. All present wore wed ding finery of some sort. A pair of gloves was all that one woman could muster of her one-time trousseau. An other had a pair of gownlcss sleeves, whllo still another could only find tho yoke of a waist of thirty years ngo. One shrewd matron borrowed an outfit from a recent bride, thus meeting the conditions. And Salute Your dueen Faithful Followers of Ananias GIVE EAR! Cooking School Teacher in New York : "If You make False as That, AU You have said xbaut Foods is Absolutely Unrcliible." THIRD PASTURE. Now we come to a frisky lot, tho 'Labor Vnlon" editors. You know down in Texas a weed called "Loco" Is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes tho steer "batty" or crazy. Many of these editors are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not Instantly obey the "demands" of a iabor union, nnd It Is tbe universal habit of such writ ers to go straight into n system of personal vilification, manufacturing any sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assort that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the lubor trust, nnd this has brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, is It harsh for us to get Judgniont ngalnst them and have our lawyers watch for n chance to attach money due them from others? (For they are usually irresponsible). Keep your eyo out for the "Lo coed" editor. Now let all these choice specimens take notice: We will deposit one thousand or fifty thousand dollars to be covered by a fiUe amount from them, or any one of them, and if there was ever one ounce of old bread or any other ingredient different than our selected wheat and barley with 11 little suit and yeast used I In the making of Grape-Nuts, we will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at nil times to visitors, and thousands puss through each month, lnsecting every department and every process. Our factories are so clean that one could, with good relish, eat u meal from the floors. The work people, both men ond wo men, are of the highest grade in the State of Michigan, and according to the State labor reports, are the highest puld lu the State for slmllur work. Let us tell you exactly what you will see when you inspect the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremen dous elevators containing the choicest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains ore curried through long conveyors to grinding mills, and there converted into Hour. Then the uiu chlnes make selection of the proper quantities of this flour in tbe proper proportion and these parts are blended into a general flour which passes over to the big dough mixing muchiues, there water, salt and a little j cast are added and the dough kneaded the proper length of time. Remember that previous to the bar ley having been ground it wus passed through about one hundred hours of soaking in water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase in tbe burley, which changes the starch in the grain into a form of sugar. Now after we have p.issod it Into dough uiid It has been kneaded long enough, it is moulded by machinery Into loaves ubout 18 inches long and & or 0 inches iu diameter. It is put into this shape for convenience in second cooking. These greut loaves are sliced by ma chinery and the slices pluced on wire trays, these trays, in turn, pluced ou great steel trucis, uiid rolled into tbe secondary ovens, euch perhups 75 or 80 feet long. There tbe food is subjected to a long, low heat and the starch which has not been heretofore trans formed, is turned into a form of sugar generally known as Post Sugar. It cun be seen glistening on the granules of Grape-Nuts If held towurd tbe light, und this sugar Is not poured over or put on the food as these prevaricators Ignoruutly assert. Ou tbe contrary the sugar exudes from the Interior of each little granule during the process of manufacture, and reminds one of the little white particles of sugar that come out on tbe end of a hickory log after it has been suwed off and allowed to stand for a length of time. This Post Sugar Is the most dlgesti- ble fond known for human use. It is so perfect in its adaptability that moth ers with very young infants will pour a little warm milk over two or three spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing the sugar off from the granules and carrying it with tbe milk to tbe bottom Alaska Journal of Publlo Opinion.

O'Brien of Bridgeport, Conn., Is making an effort to force the bar association of bis county to admit him to practice, or show cause why be should not be allowed to do so. He has passed his examinations, but the bar association declined to admit him to membership. He proposes to force the Issue through a bill in equity, laying stress on the fact that any other view of the matter transforms the associa tion Into a complete monopoly. of the dish. Then this milk charged with Post Sugar Is fed to the Infants, producing the most satisfactory results, for t lie baby has food thnt It can digest quickly and will go off to sleep well fed and contented. When baby gets two or three months old It is the custom of some mothers to allow the (Jrupe-Nuts to soak in the milk a little longer and become mushy, whereupon a little of the food can be fed In addition to the milk containing the washed off sugnr. It Is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts ore stated as 1111 Illustration of a perfectly digestible food. It furnishes the energy and strength for the great athletes. It is In common use by physicians in their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first-class college In the land. We quote from the London Lancet analysis as follows: "The basis of nomenclature of this preparation Is evidently an American pleasantry, since 'Grape-Nuts' is de rived solely from cereals. The prepara tory process undoubtedly converts the food constituents Into a much more di gestible condition than In tbe raw cereal. This Is evident from the re markable solubility of the preparation. 110 lexs than one-half of it beinir soluble in cold water. 'J e soluble part con tains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In appearance "Grape-Nuts' resembles fried breud-crumbs. The grains are brown and crisp, with a pleasant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt. Accord ing to our analysis the following Is the composition of 'Grape-Nuts:' Moist ure. 0.02 per cent.; mineral matter, 2.01 per cent.; fat, 1.00 per cent.; protelds, 13.00 per cent.; soluble carbohydrates, etc., 4K.-10 per ceut.; and unaltered carbohydrates (Insoluble), 25.07 per cent. The features worthy of note In this analysis are the excellent propor tion of proteld, mineral matters, and soluble carbohydrates per cent. The mineral matter was rich In phosphoric odd. 'Grape-Nuts' is described as a brain and nerve food, whatever that may be. Our analysis, at any rate, shows that It Is a nutritive of a high order, since It contains the constituents of a complete food In very satisfactory and rich proportion and In au easily as similable state." An analysis made by the Canadian Government some time ago shows that Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times the digestible elements contained In or dinary eereuls, and foods, and nearly twice the amount contained In any other food analyzed. The analysis Is familiar to practically every successful physician In America and London. We print this statement In order that the public may know the exact facts iion which we stake our honor and will back It with any amount of money that any person or corporation will put up. We propose to follow some of these choice specimens of tbe tribe of Ana nias. When you hear a cooking school teacher or any other person assert that either Postum or Grape-Nuts are made of any other ingredients tbau those printed on the packages and as we say they are made, send us tbe name and address, also name of two or three w trusses, and If the evidence is clear enough to get a Judgment we will right that wrong quickly. Our business bus always been con ducted ou as high a grade of human in telligence as we are capable of, and we propose to clear the deck of theso pre varicators and liars whenever and wherever they can be found. Attention is again called to the gen eral and broad invitation to visitors to go through our works, where they will be showu the most minute process and device In order that they may under stand bow pure and clean and whole some Grape-Nuts and Postum are. There is an old saying among busi ness men that there is some chunce to truln a fool, but there is no room for a liar, for you never can tell where you are, and we hereby serve notice ou all tbe members of this ancient tribe of Anantaa that they may follow their calling In other lines, but when they put forth their lies about Grape-Nuts and Postum, we propose to give them au opportunity to answer to the proper authorities. The New York girl wisely said that if a person would lie about one Item, It brands the whole discourse as absolute ly unreliable.
