A 75-horsepowur caterpillar, slowly measuring Its length over tho desert with n 40-foot ship In tow, was one of tho sights of Imperial valley, Cali fornia, tho other day. Tho boat, a vessel of five-foot draft, was mounted on skids, en route from Snlton sea to the railroad at Nllnml, where It will bo loaded onto enrs for shipment to a seaport, whence It will sail to Alaska to bo used by prospec tors. Tho historic vessel was brought to Snlton sea when that Inland body of water was of larger proportions than It Is today and was designed for lino In connection with tho fishing Indus try.

A Kentucky farmer makes to the Loulsvlllo Courler-Journnl tho sugges tion that gleaners should go Into the wheat fields this summer nnd gather up every stalk of wheat which the binder has missed. Ho estimates that ten bushels of wheat, or about two bar rels of Hour, would bo saved In every 20-aere field. Tho custom has been to turn hogs Into the stubble and let them elenn up what the harvesters have left. It Is suggested, that while wo nre trying to savo flour for tho prosecution of tho wnr gleaners Instead of pigs should follow tho harvest, as wos tho custom In Biblical times. Salinity Recorder. An apparatus has recently been an nounced that will give a continuous record of sen-water salinity by the measurement of Its electrical conduc tivity. A pair of electrolytic cells has been designed which, when used with n sultablo alternating-current galvano meter, will give satisfactory operation In connection with n recorder. The temperature compensation Is obtained by placing both cells, which are In tho two arms of n Whentstone bridge, In a uniform temperature bath.

In every honest business transaction there nre three parties concerned, tho seller, the buyer, and the community generally. Tho business which gives profit or gain to one party and floeccs cither of the other two parties Is A swindle. Test tho liquor trnfllc by thl standard and mark the result. Two' , men, Brown and Green, euch have one thousand dollars. Brown spends his money In whisky. Result : The whisky seller gets the thousand dollars and makes a profit. Brown has parted with bis thousand dollars and got nothing, plus Impaired health, ruined character, degraded life, and perhaps a criminal record. The community Is Improver Ished by the amount of vnste of wealth of'one of Its members, plus the poverty, disorder, iiccldent, crime, etc., which attends his drinking, and the conse quent taxation Involved. Green spends his money In building n house with' tho following results: The builder gets the money nnd makes a profit on the transaction; Green hns parted with his money, but now has a house rqunl In value to the money, plus the com fort, Incrensed ndvuntnges, social standing and credit which attends n, property owner. The community Is benefited by the wise expenditure of' one of Its members, together with tho proportion of taxes which the property will pny. Every citizen Is Interested In every new building, no mutter who Is the owner. The legislation which gives license to waste, nnd takes a revenue from It, Is doing the worst that can possibly be dono for the re sources of my country. Prof. John A. Nlcholls. TVO CARDINAL8. Cardinal Gibbons, Amerlcn : "I am opposed to any state-wide of nation-wide prohibition measure. A law of this kind Interferes with thd personal liberty and rights of the peo ple and creates hypocrisy on the. part of the public. Tho history of the world down to the present time dem onstrates the fact that the people have and nlwnys will Indulge In In toxicants, Irrespective of nny re straining power that It Is attempted to saddle upon them." Cardinal Herder, Belgium: "You who hold the Christian faith look nmund you nt those who suffer' from the effect of ulcohollsm. Cnn we be Inscnslhlo to the spectacle of this misery nnd pnss by on the other side? No, Indeed! I am only dls charging my duty as n Catholic, as a priest, as bishop, In coming to co-op-erate with you In the struggle against alcoholism. While waiting for our government to take nctlon, wo have a right to tufco action, we have no right to be Inactive. Trlvnte Initia tive should net without delay. Ami first of nil be educating public opinion, preparing the way for Intervention by law." Which Is the more civilized the) more Christian view? COAL VS. BEER. "It takes almost B pound of conl to produce n pint of beer," asserts E. II. I-ench, assistant stute fuel adminis trator of Ohio. "If the Lusltnnla were now flouting tho seas, tho coal used annually In the manufacture of beer In this country would furnish fuel for 720 round trips for the giant ship nnd transport 28. r0.".000 tons of supplies to the allies. "Coal used for tUj! manufacture of beer In Ohio alone would furnish more than CO round trips nnd carry neurly 2,000,000 tons of supplies a year to the allies. "It requires 180,000 curs, or 3,000 trains a day to move the raw mate' rials to the breweries. "We have henrd u great deal about the grain In the beer and about the sugar In the beer, but we have henrd little about the coal In beer. Coal Is one of the principal Ingredients." BUILDING THE CACTUS HEDGE. While In Arizona I saw the pecullai bird caller a road runner; nnd I learn ed that when he meets a rattlesnake, Instead of having a bloody encounter with him, he begins to pick off the cactus nnd surrounds IJio snake with a circle of cactus pieces; then ho plckf them up piece by piece and puts them closer to the snnko until the poison ous reptile Is shut In a close place und, unable to cross the cactus hege, he stings himself to death. That Is what we nre doing with the truffle that blteth like a serpent and stlngeth like an adder. We are shutting him up In close quarters In a few wet cities and a few backward states; nnd In this close confinement we nre going to let him sting himself to death. Willluin Jennings Bryan. NEW MARKET FOR CALIFORNIA GRAPES. , What may prove n death blow to the wine Interests of California Is the new plan being advocated by tho viticulture department of the Univer sity of California to extrnet sugar from grapes. Not only will this new proc ess revolutionize the canning Industry of the state but the wine grape grow ers will have a new market for their product nnd their chief reason for op posing prohibition will lose lis force.
