THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JTNE 28, 1011. PAGE r PRESIDENT TAFT. From 8nnpshot Taken While Attending Yale Commencement. Photo by American Press Association. New Haven. Conn., June 22. Speak ing at the Yule ulumnl luncheon here. President Tuft declared that the deci sions of the supreme court in the Standard Oil and American Tobacco cases have pointed a clear road over which the honest business man can travel in safety. This was the lirst public reference the president has made to the 'deci sions and wus brought forth by the presence ou the Hatfo-in with him of Associate Justice Lamar. "I believe theso decisions," said the president, "have douo and will con tinue to do great good to all the busi ness of the country nnd that they have laid down a lino of distinction that it Is not dllllcult for honest busi ness men to follow." The president took reflected credit, ho said, from the five appointments he had made to the supreme cou- His tory, he added, will show the wisdom of his selections, but the decisions in the two big cases, ho declared, proved almost conclusively that he had chosen well. NEW PHASE OF STEEL PROBE Federal Grand Jury Looking Into Iti Railway Domination. New York, June 22. It Is learned that the federal grand jury in this city has been conducting for Bom time an Investigation in connection with the United States Steeleorpora' Hon. The identity of the witness who have been called to testify is nol known, nor is it known along whai linos the investigation is progressing. In view of the fact that a congres sional committee is conducting u prolx of Its own in relation to the steel trust's status under tne anerman iimnrusi law it is regarded as unlikely that the attorney general would direct a slmllat investigation at this time. A supposition which appears to b supported by tho circumstances is thai the grand Jury is Investigating th complaints made recently that th trust dominates the railroads and la thereby enabled to got favorable rates for Its subsidy concerns. Embezzler Gets Twelve Years. Paris, June 22. M. Duez was sen tenced to twelve yearn In prison foi embezzling $1,000,000 while liquldntoi of church property taken over by the Clever Paris Beggars. Beggmg Is forbidden on the Parts boulevards. Cut one day recently a pale, poorly dressed man was Boon humbly approuching various pedes trians. He was evidently not used to begging, and as bo told bis pathetic story without the requisite boldness people passed him by unnoticed. A man dressed In black stepped up to him and showed him a card. Ho cur ried a thick stick and wore, a heavy mustache and thick boots, which are the outward and vlslblo signs, with a multicolored ribbon in the buttonhole, of a detective in plain clothes. "Now, then, get" out of this or I'll run you in," ho said roughly. Then In a lower tone, "Poor chap!" and fur tively ho gave the man some sliver. Pooplo had seen him do it, and, cheering tho kind hearted policeman, they, too, gave to the poor beggar. A few minutes afterward In a side street the two men divided tho spoils nnd moved off separately to ply their trudo elsewhere. Tho detective wasn't a dctectivo at all, but a beggar mads up for tho part. Finally Lost It. "I may havo lost my golf ball," thought ,the old man as he crept on all fours round tho bush Into which It bad rolled, "but I will not lose my temper." So ho contlnnod to grovel and gropo nnd to wear a persuasive, patient smile. His knees bagged, bis back ached horribly, nnd tho bush bestowed upon his hands a generous quantity of thorns. But ho refused to discard his smile and kept on repeating: "No; I will not lose my temper. I will not" Suddenly the elusive ball caught his eyo. Flopping flat, ho stretched his hands toward It, grasped It among its nest of thorns and gingerly with drew It "Hoity-toity!" exclaimed an old wo man behind him. "You aught to be ashamed, bird nesting at your time of life!" And then ho did lose bis temper, London Answers. AIRSHiF TROLLEY LINE. Suspended Car Driven by an Aerial Frcpeiier. An aerial trolley line, tho cars of which are patiorai'd after the modern airship and driven by nerlnl i.ropollers, Is proposed between BurLmnk and Ulendalo, a suburb of Los Angeles, with the understanding that eventual ly the line will run directly Into the heart of the city, snys Popular Me chanics. The unique nature of the aerial line and tho typo of car which will be op erated upon It Is shown In the Ulustra- ABRIAIj TROLLET CAR. tlon of n section of the experimental lino. The car, which Is cigar shaped. Is built of aluminium, with the ex ception of the parts requiring steel. It will seat flfty persons and is driven by an aerial propeller operated by a twenty horsepower gasoline eugtno. lor actual service the car will be In closed In an aluminium shell provided with the necessary windows. THE EARTH'S CRUST. Its Vast Volume Hardly Comprehend- ble to the Human Mind. Through study and observation of tho volcanic outflow the geologist knows approximately tho composition of the earth's crust to a depth of ten miles below sea level. As Frank W. Clarke of the United States geological survey says in the "Data of Geochem istry," "This thickness of ten miles represents known matter." The vast ness of the figures which It Is neces sary to employ in the discussion of this ten mile llthosp.bore, as it is term ed, transcends ordinary human com prehension. The volume of tho llthofiphere, In cluding the continents elevated nbovo tho sea, Is 1,033,000,000 cubic miles. A cubic mile of average rock weighs 12,800.000,000 tons. The volume of the ocean is 302.000.- 000 cubic miles. The atmosphere is equal in weight to 1.208,000 cubic miles of water. which, however, Is only one two-hun- dred-nnd-thlrty-eighth of the volume of the ocean, yet this would be suffi cient to raise the level of the ocean forty-flve feet on all shores and to submerge nn Important part of the continents. One per cent of the water of the ocean would cover all the land areas of the globe to a depth of 200 feet. The salt in the ocean would make 400,000 cubes each ono mile in di mensions, which, if spread over the United States, would form a layer ono and one-sixth miles high. In comparison with this outer ten mile section ctf the earth's crust the thin sheet of organic matter on the surface tho prairie and valley soils, the alluvial bottoms and the rich ta blelands by whose products man Uvea becomes a mere film, a skin. Strange Ocean Chasms. Along our Pacific coast there is gen erally found a "platform" about ten miles broad, sloping away from the shore until It reaches a depth of 100 fathoms then dropping rapidly. The odgo of this platform, It la averred, is broken by twenty-seven submerged valleys, eomo of which are in lino with rivers entering the sea. But at least two of them have moun tains as the shore opposite their heads. One of theso, called King Peak chasm, has been the scene of a shipwreck un der peculiar cirenmstancos. The ship run on the rocky coast and was lost in foul weather, when the rocks could not be seen. It Is believed that tho doomed vessel unknowingly followed the line of the submerged valley or chasm and her captain, finding that his soundings showed no bottom, be lieved ho was at a saf'o distance from tho coast. Scientific American. Six Bladed Propeller. Experiments havo been made recent ly with a six bladed propeller on n motorboat, and It is said to havo add ed three miles an hour to tho speed of tho craft, and nt tho same time there was notlceablo a great decreaso In the jarring and vibration which had been experienced in tho boat when It was operated by tho usual two bladed propeller. Tho blades aro arranged In ono shaft, in threo pairs, of different shapes aud sizes, tho larger ono being nt tho rear of tho oth ers and the angles of each pair ar ranged so that they get solid water all tho time regardless of speed. Libyan Desert to Be Explored. It Is stated in Pctcrmanns Mlttellun gen that Dn L. Selgert, tho geologist, will shortly undertake to-, cross tho Libyan desert In an airship. He ex pects, with the aid of tho prevailing winds, to make tho Journey from tho Mediterranean to the Nile In about thirty hours, passing over a region that is at present almost entirely un known to geographers.

Five cents per dozen for eggs. 3 cents per pound for fowls. This is generally paid with the express charges. Q. My Leghorns have very yellow ear lobes. They are vigorous, lay fair ly and were sold to me for pure bred stock. Is this color n sign of mixed blood? A. No. White lobes turn yellow when fowl gets too much yellow corn or has yellow jaundice. Q. What doee the word "furnished" mean when applied to n fowl? A. A fowl is fully furnished when It possesses every part with which It was endowed by nature, or If some nature faker has Improved on nature and created n new breed and made a standard for that breed then a fowl of that class Is fully furnished when It possesses all tho parts that stand ard calls for. Q. now long may tho term chick be applied to a young fowl? A. Till sex may bo distinguished, when It ljocomes cockerel or pullet, and Is thus called until a year old. when It Is called cock or hen. Q. Is It a sign of mixed blood when Leghorns get broody? A. No. You will nearly always find some Leghorns in n flock that cluck, and tho hotter the house the more broodies. Q. If tho air cell in a hatching egg grows too slowly how may I increase It? If too fast how may I decrease it? A. To Increase, decreaso supply1 of moisture or increase supply of air. To decrease size of cell, increase mois ture or decreaso supply of air. Q. About what tempera hire Is best for an Incubator room? Should iu cuhator eggs bo kept In a light or dark room? A. Sixty to 70 degrees. Dark room the better. Q. About how many degrees n week should I reduce tho brooder heat? A. If you start at 100 degrees a re duction of 5 degrees per week Is nil right, tho vigor of your stock being always considered, but brooder heat should never 6tand below TO degrees. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. Many fall to win at Bbows because they start conditioning fowls too late. This should begin in tlmo for fowls to catch up to standard weight replace broken feathers and become perfect ly tame. Mony havo often wondered whether Peter lost his appetite for chicken aft er his cxperionco with tho cock that crew thrice. Not 60, If we judge him by his successors. Judge Savldgo of Sunbury, Pa., ad vised a husband who was before him for nonsupport to leave town nnd go back to the farm. Yes, yoa seldom see tho man that sticks to tho farm before court or in the poorhonsfi. A turkey hen at Money, Pa., after raising seventeen poults hatched twenty-four chicks and 'carefully raised them. For size and vigor they beat all tho hen raised broods on the farm. Why? Becntiso Mother Tnrhey keeps her young away from-fllth nnd follows nature's plan. A friend paid $100 for stock and made a total failure of his first year because ho was sold wornout birds. His poultry journal guaranteed this advertiser, and the victim presented his case and got a sour lemon with n lump of sugar in It. If yoa think snow can take the place of water Just set some down, In a pan at night where chickens have had only snow all day. They almost drink their heads off. Water Is a great Item In fattening, and chickens gain much less when they must melt snow to soak their feed. Why somo didn't win is often ex plained after the show by their state ments before. They are too cocksure. A fellow Is seldom kicked by a mule because his business end Is so well ad vertised by his he-haw-haw! Like a gun, you don't know when a show's loaded till it goes off. Much of tho poultry grit on tho mar ket Is Inferior because It wears smooth In tho gizzard. Tho best is true crystal. It keeps Its cutting edge and, though it breaks up finally In tho grinding process, Is sharp to the last We have noticed much salt seaweed and dirt In certain brands of cracked oyster shell. This shows It was not washed before grinding. You not only thus pay for waste, but excess salt Is apt to cause Inflammation In the hen's dl gestivo tract. You should by all means havo a compressed air sprayer for annihila tion of fruit tree pests, and what a convenience for destroying mites In n henhouse and for whitewashing! Friend, save time, labor and gray hairs by using labor saving machinery.
