A device for suppressing sound and emoke has been provided for the ordi- nary rifle by a French soldier. It con- sists essentially of a steel tube about thirty. inches long, with several parti- tions having orifices slightly larger than the bore of a gun, and this tube is attached in the front of the muzzle of a bayonet clasp whenever its use fs desired. On firing the gun the gases are retarded by each partition in turn, finally escaping without sound or smoke. With a knife at the end the auxiliary tube can be made to serve as a bayonet. Chinese Fish Hatcheries. Those ever-ingenious people, the Chi- nese, are great at fish farming, and one of their little audges for hatching young, fish is most ingenious. Taking a fresh egg they suck the contents through a tiny hole and refill the egg with the tiny eggs of the fish they want to hatch. The hole is then sealed up“and the egg placed under a sitting hen.: In a very few days the fish ova are so far advanced that one has only to break the shell into mod- erately warm water and the little fish spring to life at once. Historic House to Be Solid. York house, Twickenham, England, is now in the market, and will be sold at auction soon. It was named after James II., when duke of. York, and in it were born two princesses, Mary and Anne, who both afterward became queens of England.

A GOOD SUGGESTION, The Echo of International Falls Wants a Change in Manner of Disposing of State Lands. ‘The -respresentative. from the northern counties of the state should see to it that the present law for dis- posing of state lands be amended at }} the next session of tne legislature. The passage of a law similarto the present humestead= or timber and stone acts of the federal government would give much more satisfaction to the small capitalists than the pres- ent method of disposition. Such a law would be a boom to the settlers of northern Minnesota and would do more toward building up the north- ern country than anything else. In connection with a law there should be a provision for the expenditure of the proceeds realized from such dis- position, A provision for the creation of a state drainage fund or road and bridge fund out of the prceeds, the same to be expended in the county from which the moneys were realized would settle the question of state ap~ propriation for such purposes, and that, tuo, withont iucumbering the property of owners of land in those counties where state lands do not ex— ist. ‘Phere are large tracts of state lands in northern Minnesota which will never become the property of in- dividual owners under the present law. and Which, without a better provision for state drainage and road building, may never be developed in the agriculvural lands for which they are suitable. A law by which the individual settler may become, the owner of the state lands ata reasonable ‘price, with a provision that the price paid would go to the drainage and development of the same and, under state or county supervision, would, in a few years, create fields out of the muskegs or northern Msnnesota.—International Fall Echo. Advertising Our Correspondent. The Herald- Review has one of the up-to-date correspondents of Co- hasset, and his weekly budget of bright reports are not only read with interest by [tasca county people, but as well are attracting attention from outside, as will appear from the fol- lowing 1n the last issue of the St. Cloud Journal- Press: We gather that the primary elece tion rule isin some manner displeas- ing to the sprightly and talented Coe hasset correspondent of the Grand Rapids Herald- Review, as he heads his scintillating column of “Cohasset Cullings” the current week with this trumpet blast: "To h—l with this primary election rule:’’ A little far- ther down, “in our midst” of the col- umn and just above the intelligence that “Sam Cable was up from the Rapids Thursday,”’ he sounds the slo- gan: ‘Prime your—elm club for tke Primaries,” ‘The Cohasset conser va- ter of the public weal, however, does not allow the givom of his grievance against the primary election law to completely obscure his sunny nature, and when he gets down to society news he brightens up as..follows: “Bill Bowers came down from the Bear River district in the county of Cass last Munday, got shaved, stayed over night, irrigated a little, and went bock.’? From which it is evi- dent that even the primary election law has not taken from Cohasset all the factors which make hfe. worth living. r ROCEEDINGS Of Village Council of Village Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
