The Clinton New Era, 1896-07-10, Page 3:r. `km 11480 rRt B OF CANADA. THE GLINT A committee et the Dominion Senate retorts that there is in the Canadian NerthWeet a possible area of 818,000 tlgtu►ro arks. over 200,000,000 acres, cult- Cthle ea wheat, We can see the signifl- •cpo9e of this tact, when we know that In 18$8 the whole urea sown to wheat in the -Malted States was, according to the ;inert of the Department of Agriculture. 8a8,Q0Q,000 aores. 'Canada is destined to be the table/ granary of the world. Wheat has been successfully grown at Fort Sieepson Cea the ¥aokenzie River, 868 *plies north of the northern boundary of the United States. Barley is a safe crop ab Fort Norman, between four and five dues north of Fort Simpson, and pota- toes have been grown with great success wlthIn the Arctic circle. This seems inorodible, that what has been considered a 'frozen and barren waste, should be one of the most ferttle tracts in the world, but 1t is easily un- derstood when we consider the various causes which produce this result. One pause is the low elevation above the sea level. For a distance of fifty miles east of the Rooky Mountains, the average ole- watton above the sea level of the Union Peelfic Railway in the United States is 5,000 feet. Now there Is a gradual de- scent northward unttl,when the Macken - elle valley is reached the altitude is only $00 feet. This difference of altitude Is equal to thirteen degrees of latitude; that is, about 900 miles. You see that the lfferc'nce of elevation alone would give ort Ntmpson, on the Mackenzie, about the same temperature that you would tnd nearly 900 miles south, at the united States boundary. That is nob all. In the United States the Rocky Mountains form a lofty bar- liter to the warm winds of the Pacific, nt through numerous passes In the northern part of the range, the Chinook Winds find tt:eir way outon the Canadian plains. There is almost a constant cur - tent of air warmed on the plains west of the :Mississippi, flowing northward The waren winds from the west and east tarry a genial summer climate far beyond Che Arctic circle. Once more. The length Lf the summer days affects the temperature. In the cen- ter of the Peace River country the long- est summer day is seventeen hours and tw my -eight minutes; that is, from sun- rise to sunset. The prolonged sunlight promotes vigorous and rapid growth. It is a recognized fact that all plants are 'produced in their greatest perfection at the northern limits of the zona they characterize. It is not surprising, there- fore, that our wheat is the best in the World. Anil as with wheat, so with men. Wo under a sky and upon a soil favora- e eto the development of the most ro- qualittes.

In order to rebut the frequently made iaim that a locomotive can make as at a mileage as an electric motor, Baxter, Jr., shows what is done in actual practice, and at the same time makes the distinct statement that such a company as the Penneylvaela Railroad could effect a saving of over $6,700,000, or 18.4 per Dent. of its operating ex- penses, by the adoption of electricity. On the railroad named there are 1,108 freight engines, giving a mileage of 50,400,858 annually. In the passenger oe there are 478 locomotives, and e total miles run per year by passenger rains is 14,908,800. Figuring on a basis of 90 per cent of the engines 1n use, the miles run per year would be 84,670, and on an 80 per cent. basis, 89,000 miles. Trolley oars making an average speed of lest) than ten miles an hour run from 45,000 to 50,000 per year. At this rate, peter cars drawing freight trains at fif- teen miles per hour could easily cover 85,000 to 75.000 miles per year, and those eised for passenger work. and making an average speed of 80 miles per hour, could run over 100,000 miles per year. If so muoh greater yearly mileage could be Trade by electric motors, it follows that the wages of motormen would bo very much less than the wages of englnemen per train mile, the daily compensation (tot being higher, and the distance cov- ti pd being far greater. After going fully lista every cost of operation and mainte- flanoe of the two systems, Mr. Baxter -established the fact of the superior econ- omy of electriopropulslon for trunk lines. Blunders of Great Writers. Shakespeare speaks of turkeys in plays ihe times of which antedate the importa- 1on of the thirst turkeys from America. fl "Henry IV." the carrier complains that "the turkey in my pannier are quite starved," though Henry IV. reigned a hundred years before America was die- Tered. In "Henry V." Gower says to Fluellen of Pistol: "Here he comes, strutting like a turkey -cook." Worse than these Is the anachronism In "Julius Caesar," in which Brutns says to Cassius. "Count the clock." To whtoh Cassius replies: "The clock has stricken three." Striking olecke were un- known in Caesar's time, and for inany centuries afterward. A curious blunder waft that of Chaucer f,p his "Court of Love," in which he says that the throstle "sings so sweet a tune that Tubal himself, the first musician, mild not equal it." He meant .Tubal. He had forgotten his Bible. A less excusable error of time than Shakespeare's, because it belongs to a perlotl when authors had begun to regard such matters, is made by Schiller, the great German author, In his "Picco- lomini." Be speaks there of a "lightning conductor," although the time of the piece Is at least one hundred and fifty years before the Invention. A Plea for the Beautiful. The beautiful has a theologleal value. It le one of the most conclusive proofs that God lives and reigns. It does not cost any more to put paint on property than to put it on wrong, nor to put tim- bers together in a beautiful fashion rather than a homely fashion. Man is the only creature on earth which has an inborn lova of the beautiful. No other animal clan appreciate It. When God made man the lover of the beautiful he intended that man should be the creator of the beautiful. Beautiful poems and paint- ings at4d sculpture all men may not cre- ate, but they ani do beautiful deeds and acts to their folio* men. That is the way they show their love for it.

Have the sleeping room cool and clean and as baro of furniture as a cell. See that the clothing of the little sleeper is loose at the neok, waist and arms, and keep his head uncovered. If there Is anything young animals oannot do without It is fresh air, and babies get less than any other olase. Through the pores of the skin the body Is continu- ally throwing off poisonous vapors. If the head Is covered with the bed cloth- ing, the unfortunate infant will be breathing bad air. Fashion or no fashion, it is a oruel shame to trim or starch babies' clothing. The average child suffers from overfeeding and overdress- ing. Let him learn to be a trifle hungry. Half the time the child cries he wants' fresh air or fresh water, Wiping the lips of a crying baby with cool water will often soothe and refresh him. A Canal's Disappearance.

Lady Harberton, speaking of tight laoing, says: "It would materially help discussion on this subject if people would boar in mind the faot that there.is an 1 actual anatomioal 11roportlon in the size of the human waist, and that It is not a mere queetlon of fancy. The tree pro- portion is a difference of tan inches be- tween the oircumferenoe of thelm0 and that of the waist.

He looks after tte diet and is particular that the feeding shall be regular and right. While the is doing this it is likely as not that he ie himself sneering from some disease or disorder. When the trouble gets so had that he cannot work he will begin to give himself the care he gave the horse at the start. Good pure, rich, and red blood is the best insurance against disease of any kind. Almost all diseases come from impure end impoverish- ed blood. Keep the blood 'pore t7 and strong and disease can find no foothold. That is the principle upon which Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery works.

J., who began hiccoughing April 25 and has kept It up over since, has been much better the past few days, and the Indications aro that she will recover soon. Dr. W. A. Mack, hor attending physi- cian, says that her trouble was largely due to nervousness, and his treatment was directed at restoring her nerves to a normal oondition, which he was sure would atop the htceoaghs. At first his remedies had little effect, and he called another doctor in consultation. Finally it was decided to use electricity, and this course Prosed beneficial. For some time after each application of the battery Miss Trautman is able to control the spasm, and when they recur they are not so severe. This treatment will be continued. The case has attracted wide attention, and scores of persons have called at the home of the unfortunate girl to offer ad- vice, and hundreds of letters telling of sure mires have been received by mall. No attention has been paid to the letters and none of the callers has been allowed to see the girl. One of the men who thought that he canld stop the troublesome hiccoughs gave hie name at Dr. Eastlake, of New York. He claimed to be a hypnotist of renown, and he was allowed to try his wiles on Mtas Trautman. She was not affected In any way by the Svengali mo- tions of the alleged hypnotist, and after several experiments "Dr." Eastlake was told that he need not oome back. For several weeks Miss Trautman has not been allowed to see anyone but her phy- sicians and her pavents. Every effort has been made to keep her as quiet as possi- ble, and nothing has been allowed to disturb her and to agitate hor nerves. Her case has had many peculiar lea• turns. During the entire time she has slept well and her appetite Kgs been fair. While sleeping she is not troubled with the hieooughs, but as soon as she wakes the bi000ughs return. Nothing apprecia- bly checked them until electricity was tried. After the first application of the battery she did not hiccough for an hour, and each succeeding application has resulted in a like respite. Mies Trautman le a pretty brunette of eighteen and lives with her parents at No. 154 Division street. Elizabeth. Spiders That Catch Birds. Mr. W. .T. Rainbow, an Australian naturalist,gives the following description of the large bird -entrapping spiders of his country, which we quota from the Amerlcan Naturalist: "Representatives of this genus abound in tropical and subtropical regions. 'L'heir webs are com- posed of two kinds of silk, one yellow, exceedingly viscid and elastin, the other white, dry and somewhat brittle. The latter is used for the framework of the web, the guys and radii, and the former for the concentric rings. Theme snares are at varying heights, sometimes within reaoh, again 10 to 12 fent from the ground, but always in a position exposed to the rays of the sun. Tho diameter is also variable, from 8 feet upward. One seen by Graffe In the Fijl Islands con- structs a web 80 feet in diameter. Three snares are strong enough to entrap small birds. In the author's opinion the web Is not set for such game, and the spider does not fend on her ornithological vic- tim. In the cases where she has been observed with her fangs in the body of the ensnared bird It is probable that it Is for the purpose of hastening the death of the bird, in order to prevent its injuring the web In •Its struggles to esenae. Spiders of the genus .Nephila are easily tamed. Although exceedingly voroc1ons, they can nevertheless exist for ninny days without either food or water. They pair in autumn, The sexes inhabit the same web for a considerable time, the female in the center and the male on the upper edge of the web.

Down from Tuokahoe came yesterday a mature but ardent couple bout on mat- rimony. The bride to be is a farmer's daughter, the groom a plasterer. leis trade has left him poor, and he wore his working clothes. The bride had a bolfuet with an extensive flower garden on ti)• Her dross was short enough to display somewhat more than her substantial shoes. She is the wtdow Ellen Kenley, 40 years old. The happy plasterer is James Ryan, a widower, with a Son who objects to the marriage. He is not a hard-hearted youth, but he thinks his father should have forgotten love's young dream in the sixty winters which he has weathered. The couple are weak In purse, thou strong of purpose, and when they counted up oar fare they found they had only enough to take them to Williams. bridge. "We'll walk," said the bride. "By gosh, we will; you're a bride after my own heart," said the groom with enthusiasm. They walked from Wllllamsbridge to Morrisanta and drifted into the Pollee Court. "Are you tired, dear?" Ryan inquired as he dropped into a seat with a sigh of satisfaction. "Tired! What is a five -mile stroll on one's wedding day? Just a pleasure trip, an' nothln' shorter," said the bride, This gave big Policeman Gehl a hint, and he hurried up to Clerk McCabe with the information that a bridal party had arrived. The clerk, took a look at the pair and carried the news to Magistrate Deuel in the hack room. The magistrate upset the plans of all concerned. "Marry thein? Not a bit of it," he said. "Let them hunt up a minister willing to make one of sixty and forty. I can't do that kind of addition." Clerk McCabe had to go out and ex- plain that he had on hand only a very bashful magistrate, who did not dare face the bride in so trying an ordeal. "My sakes! I don't see why he should have any feeling about it. I wouldn't let him kiss me 1f he tried to," said the bride. "And I guess I wouldn't if you world; not much," said the groom. Seventeen then and all the court squad volunteered direction to the many ohurehes in the annexed district. The couple selected one in Washington ave- nue. The crowd followed them, and frightened them by their numbers and anxiety to be in at the finish. The couple lengthened their steps. They distanced the crowd without sprinting, and, turn- ing a corner, were lost to view. It's pretty certain that they got married, be- cause the last heard from the groom was:— Well, I don't care; we'll look up a minister, an' he'll just have to wait for his pay till 1. get in a couple of weeks work an' we get to right.;.
