The Confederate Veterans cap tured Memphis on Wednesday, when their reunion commenced in that city. Every time so-called Democratic Congressmen or Senators get very ultimate with the Republicans they begin to abuse Bryan. The United Dry Goods Company, with a capital of $51.000,000 was recently organized. John Claflin is the chief genius of this great trust. An Italian scientist suggests that Vesuvius be tapped, the molten lava being molded into paving blocks or building stones. Good dcheme. But j who will do the tapping? This is an age which adores power and success. . It is impatient with failure, yet how frequently the fail are of.today becomes the success of tomorrow. Hon. Richard I. Manning has been elected a life trustee of Clemsou Col lege by the other life trustees in place of Hon. R. E. Bowen, who died not long since. A better man could not have been chosen. Some philosopher once said that beginning a thing is half the end. That is true when the beginning is right and made with resolution and purpose.' Under such circumstances the course leads straight, if some times long, to the goal. We see no use whatever for all the fuss being raised about Clemsou College. The life trustees, man for man. are just as good men as the trustees elected by the State. Then why are they-objectionable to any body? W. T. Stead, the noted English writer says that Premier Asquitk has' no imagination. As is well known Mr. Stead himself is not de ficient in that faculty, for his imagi aa'tion covers everything astral, celestial and terestlal?especially astral-. The government officials who have \ devoted considerable study to the matter, say that nydrophobla is now an epidemic, and the only way to get rid of it is to muzzle the dogs 50$ as they can't spread the terrible diSease? Let us follow that advice and help kill out the epidemic. The Buffalo Times says "the de mand for free lumber is a national demand, and in this day of high prices of building materials, not -july are the people injured by the maintenance of tariff on lumber, but widespread disaster will bo brought about to industrial enterprise." Dr. John C. Kilgo. who is presi dent of a college that has been liberally endowed by Dukes, the head of the tobacco trust, don't like the way politics are run in the South. If our politics dou't suit the gentle m^t, why don't he go where he can find the kind of politics he likes. Bryan says he believes that the Democrats who voted in Congress tgaiast'free lumber have greatly em barrassed the Democratic party, greatly strengthened the Republican party, and grievously wronged tholr constituents. Bryan Is good author ity, and what he says will have great weight. The farmers pay the taxes that run Clemsou College entirely, and they seem to be pretty well satisfied as to the way the trustees are chos en., Most of the objections come from other sources. If the farmers pay the money to run Clemson and they are satisfied about the way the trustees are chosen, why should other* worry themselves about the matter. Not much attention has been paid to Russia of late, but all -signs in dicate that iuternal reform is surely if slowly gaining. Stolyphiu. the premier, proves to be a stronger man than his friends hoped or his ene mies thought, and wisely and con sistently his influence has been for progress. The Duma also has just legalized the "Old Believers" in spite of the hostility of the ecclesiastical authorities. That is a long step towards religious liberty. Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, says neither from the political or the economic standpoint is there any ex cuse for Democrats who have gone on record against free lumber. Re moval of the tariff on lumber was not only one of the plauks of the Democratic platform, but it is a vital clement of broad Democratic prin ciple, coeval with the. exlstance of Democracy in this country. Why It Was Put There. "Though, the State of Mississippi had engraved the image of Jefferson Da7is on the silver service that com monwealth presented to the battle ship named In her honor, there was never disclosed more patriotic sen timent than was seen at Natchez Saturday last when Capt. Fremont accepted the present the heart of Mississippi tendered to the navy," says the Washington Post. There is a reason not far to seek for this. Had. not Stanton ordered the shackles on Davis we may be sure Mississippi would not have put the image of Da vis on that silver service. Again had not the North made of Jefferson Davis a vicarious being to expiate "the sins of treason' his image would not be on that silver service. "Besides that Jefferson Davis saved I an American army from defeat, per haps from annihiliation, and that day j his blood was copiously shed for the flag. Would it not be well enough for his malicious critics to show a scar or two? Evidence that they were once men of valor and had I place where David ordered Uriah? Good taste would not shudder at that suggestion. "However mistaken Jefferson Da vis may have been, how much injury he may have inflicted on his country, he was an honest man, a. pure man, a brave man, every day ready to mount the scaffold for his convic tions. And the world is full of men made of coarser and meaner warp and woof." The Hollingsworths may rave and tear their hair, but the above is the honest, sober estimate of the great service of Jefferson Davis held by all people, North or South, who have intelligence enough, to appreci ate the life and character of the on\y President, of the Southern Confeder acy. As the motives which actuated this great man are better understood by those .who oppose him, his mem ory will grow brighter and brighter.. Should Be Followed. In these days of disturbances in the near east, the more than possibil ity of war between Germany and Great Britain, and the strengthening of armies and navies, it is refreshing to learn of something tangible being done to promote harmony and peace among nations. Chicago is the scene of this effort, music is the instrument, and the actors are representatives of the sturdy, intelligent, and peace and home loving Scandinavian race. It is but some three years tdnce Norway ?separated from Sweden and although it was peacefully consumated, yet the tension was great. To dispel feelings of estrangement and suspicion and to promote a bet ter undestanding between the people of Denmark, Norway and Sweden is the object of the musical society which, in Chicago, has so recently given, and with great success, the Scandinavian Harmony Festival. That the movement originates among private citizens and in Ameri ca instead of by the Scandinavian governments does not lessori its im portance. Rather does it increase it, because no one can doubt its sin cerity. Then, itoo, this concerted action is bound to have ? wholesome influence upon the three countries concerned. Identity of race and religion, a close affinity in language and cus toms, and political considerations should make the movement a suc cess. The relation of Denmark, Nor way and Sweden with'their powerful and aggressive neighbors demands a united Scandinavia. If the example thus set would only be followed In other quarters and by other nationalities it would go a long way to making war. an im possibility. The Exposition at Seattle. When Secretary Seward negotiated the purchase of Alaska from.Russia most people tb.ougat.of it very much as Louis XV of France thought of Canada?that is wa? -a "few arpents of snow." Political considerations mainly influenced both America and Russia in the matter and but few thought that the country would ever be of commercial value.- But the discovery of gold and fuller knowl edge have proved that the climate conditions, at least in some sections, were more favorable than supposed and the natural resources of Im mense value. The exposition now open in Seat tle will still further reveal the pos sibilities of Alaska and the develop ment that has alreauy taken place. Incidentally this exposition at Seat tle reminds us how near at one time this country came to losing all that magnificent territory now embraced in the State of Oregon and Washing ton. Webster and other of our statesmen of that period strangely thought that the country could nev er support more than a few roving hunters and were not unwilling to let Great Britain have it. Fortunately Whitman and a few others, who knew its possibilities, managed to persuade the govern ment at Washington and so a splen did empire was saved. But it was a close call. This exposition also reminds us that the United States was very successful In her land ac quiring cnle'.i rises'as long ?.s she confined herself to this, cont.uent. But when she went elsewhere to ac quire land she got into trouble, which will never end until she gives up the Philippines and cfther posses sions across the seas. Flying Machines. Orville and Wilbur Wright were accorded a well deserved ovation on their return from Europe. Progress I in aerial navigation has been very rapid the past two or three years and the Wrights and Count Zeppelin, of : Germany, have done the most to ad I vance it- and at the same time it a I popularity by their wonderful (achievements. So great have been the triumphs already gained that even the most sceptical as to the availability of air ships and dirigible balloons are by this time converted. Of course there is much yet to be done, and apparently aerial naviga tion will always be risky in spite of coming improvements. Their value for military purposes is still un certain for that is something that cannot positively be ascertained with out actual warfare. We believe the flying machine,, which was only a dream a year or two ago,, is now a reality, and that it will go on rapidly to perfection, or, as near perfection as human minds and hands can make a flying machine. ECONOMICAL FURNACE. Constructed of Concrete Blocks and a Heating Stove. As shown in the illustration, the jiaiii portion of the furnace is a largo heating stove of the kind known as the "cannon ball" or shop stove, or may be any healing stove of the same design or method of construction. In this grade of stove the sides are from three-quarters to an Inch thick, mak ing a stove thai for furnace purposes is ideal, says Concrete. The stove is first set luto place in the cellar under the central room of the house on a concrete floor made of sufficient, strength to avoid any dan per of the concrete jacket settling und FURNACE VAXJH OF CONCKKTK. cracking. The Jacket is laid up with concrete blocks, as illustrated, a space being left in the bottom course through which Hie ash pan may be taken out. also for cold air registers on the three other sides of the jacket. The latter should be at least <5 by S inches In size and may l>e laid up with the walla of the jacket and securely fastened in place with the mortar. Above the ash pan a beam of concrete Is placed. This should be molded of twice the length of two of the blocks used, so fly to bridge the space rightly. In the fourth course of blocks an ojienlng Is left suf ficient to allow the draft and feed door in the front of the stove to In; opened. The space between the stove and the wall of the jacket wlrcre this opening is located is tilled with cement so as to prevent the heat; escaping Into the cel lar, except.such as is thrown out from the feed door. ? With the seventh course of blocks another beam Is used to bridge the space above the feed door opening and the space between this and the store cemented together unicsa It is desired to have a door to close the feed door opening on the outside of the Jacket, la this case the space between beam and stove tr ieft open1 so that the heat may be utilized. With the ninth course of blocks begin to draw In for the arch- on all four sides uiitll the Inside spacp Ik M hy.i-28 Inches. Then the Jacket, is laid up...until It reaehes the floor above. Ip. which n hole Is cot and a 14 by 20 inch register.!* placed. Place a heavy elbow .on the opening for the stovepipe-and ose- a heavy pipe to carry the burned gases outside the jacket in one cpursa of the blocks. The opening around the.pipe in..easily filled with mortar so as to be air tight. This furnace has ample radiation for heating a teu room dwelling or a store ot factory of the same floor space. Aerial Torpedo Latest War Enrji'.-.c. A patent has been applied for at the German ? patent office for an "aerial torpedo" "which Is being built at the Krupp works. The torpedo consists of a hollow body, containing a thtn cylindrical reservoir, one end of which Is attached to the point of the projec tile and the other end to a thin plate screwed Into the hollow body. The reservoir Is filled with liquid oxygen and also contains an explosive charge fitted into a cylindrical tube. In the point of the torpedo a hole is bored, widening toward Its front, and a pill of platinum Bponge is Inserted In the hole. The platinum Is Ignited by the escape of hydrogen when the point of the torpedo has pierced the covering or envelope of a balloon or airship and In Its turn sets fire to the explo sive charge.
