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,

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.

KURIOS FROM KOR RESPONDENTS
Q. Will you please Inform me If I
must pay duty on eggs" nnd fowls
from Canada and at what rate?
A. 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!

hairs by using labor saving machinery.
