This Is Interesting because the Nica-
rnugua canal may yet be dog to sup-
plement for commercial purposes the
facilities of the Pannmp ditch. The
route would be jfiU miles shorter from
New York to San Franolwo than by
way of the isthmus; and the canal
would not cost more than crte-giUd,
as much as that of Panama—barring,

the Nicaraguan canal, passed 50 miles
south of Use nearest active volcano

one observes that much of Its nar-

lake, 100 miles long and 45 miles
broad, out of which a large river,
Called-tbe San Juan, runs eastward all
the way of the Caribbean sea. A strip
only 12 miles wide separates the lake

T HB3 first message from the 'United
States naval radio station, known
as the Lafayette radio station, at Bor-
deaux, France, which is undergoing
official acceptance tests, has been re-
ceived here. ' The message follows:
"This Is the first wireless message to
be heard around the world and marks
a milestone on the road of scientific
achievement" . '
Secretary Daniels sent the follow-
ing message in reply: "My sincere
congratulations upon the successful
completion of the gigantic radjo sta-
^ffm7~najited7~^
Frenchmen whom all Americans honor.
Designed to serve a military purpose,
It will now serve to bind, closer the
cordial relations which have always
existed between France and the United
States. On behalf of the United States
navy, I desire to express my pleasure
upon the achievement of the Lafayette
radio station in transmitting the first
message to be heard around the world.
We are happy to recognize in this pow-
erful signal a symbol of that force
and sympathetic understanding with
which the voice of France shall be
■treawTtssr its sister
republic." ,
The" "Lafayette " radio" station was
built by the United States navy de-
partment, under the direction of the
bureau of engineering and the bu-
reau of yards and docks.- Its construc-
tion was begun during the war to
maintain wireless communication be-
tween this country. and opr. forces
France^ since-at-that time-there-was-
grave fear that German submarines
might bo able to cut the trans-oceanic
cables and leave Pershing isolated so
far as immediate communication with
the United States was concerned.
The station now completed is the
largest In the world, ft has eight
820-foot towers, and its engineering
features, while in general modeled on
those of our naval stations at Arling-
ton and Annapolis, are unique both jn
their magnitude and in some features
of their design. ■ '
The success of this staMon in
transmission _is exemplified bv~ the
fact that the audibility of its signals,
as measured at the naval radio labora-
tory in the bureau of standards, Is five
times the audibility of the similar sig-
nals from the German radio station at
Nauen. .-

ISN'T'there a hoary old yarn about
a man who equipped his donkey
with green spectacles and tried to edu-
cate It to eat shavings? Well, any-
way,' he wasn't a circumstance to
Uncle Sam. He's going' to fatten up_
-«Ur cows and make 'em ^ give more

In short, when the dairy farmer of
the future" needs feed for hia cows he
may get a fresh supply by going out in
hte wood lot ahd '• "reducing a few
stump6? to sawdust. ^
By chemical treatment sawdust may.
be converted Into a nourishing cattle
food.
This fact was made public at a sec-
tional meeting of Industrial and en-
gineering chemists, American Cheml-
' " " " y, at the University of Chl-
The process of preparing such' ant-
. i
mal food was described by E. C. Sher-
rard and G. W. Blanco.
White sawdust, finely ground, . is
treated with diluted sulphuric acid - In
a large boiler lenown as a digester, un-
der steam pressure. This breaks up
the fiber and extracts the sugar. To
event lnJurto«s~jeffects^-the-acld~i
neutralized by adding lime to produce
chemical reaction. .
The liquid thus obtained, when
boiled down, is" rich In sugar, and when
mixed with the fiber produces a moist
feed containing about 15 per cent of
water, in which form it is fed to dairy
cows. ; ; - - - - . .w - -

The result was so satisfactory jthat

viewpoints.

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is- that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop but
of sight and (ire soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more -particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system: the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
■benefited, to" those" "who" are' lh need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
examplev Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
.and-neyerthesitate-to-reeolivmendj-foris^
^ffl.08LfiK^3fc=fla^iMho^8-exwllent-^
milts, as many of__my .customers, .testify..
No^other kidijey remedy ihas so large a
sale." • ' ■ ■ ' .
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root: is due to the fact,
•o -many people -claim, that it fulfills al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid whicli causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
