The RAGS of the unites States,

A Chicago rag dealer estimates that
each of the 50,00O,O00 people of the
United States discards an average Of five
pounds of clothing yearly, which makes
100000, 900 pounds for the whole. Then,
he says, there are the tailoring establish
ments, big and little, whose cuttings are
not much less in quantity in the aggre-
gate, than the cast-off clothes of the
nation at large, while their quality as
rags is greatly superior. Then there are
carpets and bedding, and curtains, and
other domestic articles of cloth Of some
kind, which make up a goodly bulk in
the course of year. These different
articles combined makeup another $780,
10000 pounds of cloth material, which
has been discarded from use, and which
eventually finds its way into the rag
mans bale. His estimate is that 100 car
loads of rags enter and leave Chicago

Perpetual Motion.

Samuel Elliot, convict in the state
prison at Jacksonville, Kentucky, has
invented perpetual motion machine
which is described as follows: cit con-
sists of two spirals, seven balls and four
hollow arms, and depends upon gravita-
ton for its motive power. The machine
is about two feet high, and the outside
spiral sixteen or eighteen inches in
diameter. Inside of the larger spiral is
smaller one, to which is attached four
hollow arms, all about an inch and a
quarter in diameter, and which are con-
ment which holds the outside spiral In
its place, and at the same time works
over it and around it. The balls are put
in at the top, and running out the arms
to the larger spiral, begin to descend the
circular machine, and at the same time
carry the connected arms, one at the top
and the other below, around with them.
On reaching the bottom the balls fall
into the lower arms and are carried
through them slantingly to the inside
spiral which is kept turning like an
angle by the motion of the arms. They
are then forced up this by balls con-
stantly rolling down the outer spiral I'M
til they reach the top, when they again
fall into the arms, roll out into the
larger spiral, descend, reach the bot
tom, roll to the inside and are again car
ried up as before. The secret Of power
in this continuance lies in the force of
the balls as they roll down the outer
spiral, and by this pressure keep the
smaller spiral turning. The overplus of
force thus attained is entirely sufficient
to force the balls Up the inside, and by
their own momentum they perform the
other part width scarcely any diminution
of the force Of gravitation which causes
them to descend" This action is not
very clear, but doubtless the theory Of
the invention is that the balls descend
ing in the outer spiral will exert sur
plus of power over those ascending in
the inner spiral because their weight acts
at the end of q longer leverage.

Eli Perkins at it Again.
Letter to the Chicago Tribune !

In Illinois you generally hang your
murderers and imprison your thieves.
But Texas has a cheaper plan than that.
It costs good deal Of money to prose
cute a criminal in Texas; so the state
authorities collect the names and de-
scription of every murderer and thief in
the state. These names they print in O big
book, and then they offer a reward for
them, dead Or alive. I saw this book in
Austin. 1t contains over 1000 names.
The result is, all these criminals, as
soon as the reward is offered, flee the
country. They go to New Mexico, the
Indian nation, and over the Shreveport,
La. A Texas murderer would be a
very fair citizen in Shreveport. If the
Texas authorities should go to Shreve-
port, I believe they would find 900 of
their 1000 murderers preaching or
teaching school. No man is consider
ed Al in Shreveport who has not killed
his man. Texas is paradise of virtue
compared with Shreveport.

Oil ReuiOn TerrOrs.

The return of the season of thunder
storms always brings with it feeling OF
great uneasiness in the oil regions. Scat
tered about the petroleum producing
field there are probably ZOO iron tanks,
in each one of which are stored from
10000 to 10000 barrels of crude Oil.
Most of them are situated in the midst
of populous towns and cities. 1t is not
in the fact that the tanks are made of
iron that the danger of lightning strokes
arises. Evaporation of oil contained in
them produces a vapor that arises and
hovers above them, and becomes a per-
petual attrection to the electric fluid.
The protection of tanks against lightning
is a problem that scientific men have
been for years laboring to solve. A for
tune awaits the man who shall devise a
plan to prevent or lessen the damage
that is annually caused by lightning in
the oil regions. The United Pipe Line
Company, which owns nearly all the
iron tanks in the oil country, is attaching
to number of it's tanks an appliance by
which chemical action may be instantly
brought to bear on the cloud of smoke
which forms between the surface of the
I'll anu GH6 IOOl VI tdnk Wuou III IS set
on fire. This, it is claimed, will render
the presence of flame impossible, and
will lessen the number of oil fires. No
demonstration of the value of the extin-
guisher has been made, but if it's action
is satisfactory, it will be God-send to
the oil country.
Last season, during the great oil fire
at Titusville, when tank after tank was
belching itsvolumes of fame, a spectator
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1881-06-22

suggested that by firing a cannon ball
through the bottom, before the oil boiled
over the top, the oil might be drawn out
and the spread Of the confagration stop
ped. A piece of ordnance was at once
procured and the experiment tried. 1t
was successful. Several tanks were
drawn off in this way, and the destruction
of a great part of Titusville was pre-
vented. Now the Pipe Line Company
has large cannon ready for use at an
instant's notice, fixed in position at all
tanks where fire would jeopardize con-
tiguous property.
The experiment of placing lightning
rods above the tanks is being tried this
year. One hundred and fifty men have
been putting up rods, seventy feet above
the tanks

a New Way to Kill Stage Robbers.
[From Texas Siftings.l


AS Shere is no reason to suppose the
stage robbers intend to retire voluntarily
to the shades of private life very soon,
and as there is not much danger of their
being compelled to do SO, we, ourselves,
have determined to put a stop to the
business. We have written to persons
in western Texas whom we suspect of
designing to send us original poetry, to
forward the manuscript in registered
package by stage. The stage robbers
are in the habit of opening and examin-
ing registered packages. After this,
when stage is robbed and any of our
original poetry is stolen, all the authori-
ties will have to do will be 10 send out a
wagon to the scene of the robbery, and
bring in the bodies of the highwaymen
who have been bored to death. They
deserve all they get.

his fist on the boats side. ego done
us harm from the day yo' COON here!
Yo' hev'."
Suddenly there was a cry from every
one under the shed: ga light; blue
light. Look, there's another"
Far off in the offng there was ship
in distress sending up blue lights. They
rose swift and pale, then burst into a
bright CLEAN and vanished. Harold
Trecorpe uttered shout of exultation.
"It's big ship" cried he. "Here, gle
us the blue rockets, girl"
"What for the blue rockets ?" asked
Margaret, who was standing near box
of fire signals. eye must burn three
red lights first to warn 'em the coasts
dangerous. Then three blu 'uns to say
the lifeboat's coming. That's what my
lord told me-"
"Cuss your lord and yo' too" blurted
out Harold, savagely, as he ran around
to the other side OF the boat. "Here,
lads, bear hand and heave this girl
out.
"Harold, I'll fire light in yo'r face if
yo' come near me. Mark, keep that man
off," cried Margaret, painting, and seiz-
ing the lantern from Peter Pencorrow's
drunken hands, she held a rocket at Har
ODDS face as if it were pistol.
But there were others besides Harold
who wanted the ship to be wrecked, and
several of the lifeboat's crew were among
them. They were willing enough to go
out with the boat by-and-by, but they
wanted the vessel to be wrecked first.
These scoundrels drove Margaret and
Mark Brathwaite back, and it YVES re-
solved among them that no lights should
be burned at all for the present. In her
energetic language unadorned Margaret
Pencorrow hurled anathemas at them,
but the only laughed, and suddenly the
girl vanished through the crowd with
Mark Brathwaite.
Where had they gone? For several
moments their disappearance was not
noticed, but suddenly broad sheet of
lightning, that lit up the whole coast,
showed the girl and the boy running as
hard as they could down the shore Ill
the direction of the Needle Rock. The
tide was coming in fast, but it was evil
IDENTIFY Meg's object to get near the rock
before it. Why? They learned pres
emily. A loud hiss, blaze of red light,
and up went red rocket; then another;
then third. Three danger signals rose
Rapidly, one after another, under the
eyes of the enraged wreckers. Then all
became blackness again. The storm
rumbled away, and no more blue lights
were burned out at sea. Margaret had
rushed off with the red rockets, which
had probably warned the distressed ship
to keep clear of the treacherous coast
Anyhow, the ship was not wrecked nor
heard of again.
Nor was Margaret Pencorrow ever
seen again OR heard of. Mark Brath-
waite, returning pale, exhausted and
half crazed at daybreak, announced that
she had suddenly been swept away by
wave, but whittier he knew not,
though he had swan, and dived, and
sought for hours, risking his life twenty
times. "God knows where she went, F"
he cried, sobbing.
And doubtless God did know.
At present there is no more Needle
Rock off Polloot. Lady Blanche had it
blasted, and fine lighthouse has been
erected where it stood, to warn vessels
of the other dangerous rocks in the vicin-
ity. 1t is called the "Margaret light
house," and Mark Brathwaite is the
keeper of it.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE %, 1881.
MY JUNE BOY.
BY CHRISTINE CHAPLIN BRUSH.

BY CHRISTINE CHAPLIN BRUSH.
Sweet as the pink wild roses wake,
And freshness from their petals shake,
So from his head to his small feet
He wakes, all flushed and dewy sweet.
His eyelids like white clouds of morning fee,
And clear the heavenly blue for me, for me
The wonder of the baby's eyesl
Forget-me-nots and morning skies,
And all things blue that lie between:
i named We blue they were seen
Ho, violet, by the reedy rim
OF pools, where lights and shadows swim,
Seeing your soft reflections there,
Ye know what things can best compare;
Though in his eyes depths of mystery
Which never yet were seen, sweet flowers, in thee.
o rosebud rosebud of the South,
Say you match the baby's mouth?
And when your petals softly part,
Is there white pearl in your heart?
And tell me-if you can teI-who
Has ever heard rosebud COO?
And can you bud and bloom, o ebud, say,
And bloom and bud, hundred times day?
A dimple is an angels kiss:
We're dimples ever placed amiss?
o apple blossoms do not speak,
To say you're like the baby's cheek,
All white and pink, and fragrant through and
through.
Have apple blossoms little dimples too?
The sunshine's fairest, finest thread
Graces and crowns his princely head.
Sometimes it CLEANS halo faint,
And turns him to a baby saint.
Lo should grid him with little fleece,
The infant st. John of the Veronese
give the palm to his sweet chin;
Yet oft his little feet will win
Sapdaled with rose leaves, his pink toes
Buds stolen from some careless rose.
count his beauties, as the nun
Counteth her beads DER, one by one.
So many ways my fond heart finds him fair,
1t makes each breath grateful little prayer.
He sweetly breathes in baby rest
On the dear comfort of my breast.
For love, fer love- cannot speak:
A tear falls on the babys cheek.
What, stir at such grief this
A tear warmed by thy mothers kiss
Do roses sigh at drops of dew?
VIII soft winds vex the lilies too?
Again in perfect rest he lies,
White eyeds dropped on bluest eyes.
So violets and snowdropS nod together,
And sleep in night-times of the sweet spring
weather.
What shall happy mother bring,
Who hath no costly Offering?
No spices from beyond the sea,
No white dove even, owneth she,
No lamb unblemished, nor stem
Of Mary's lilies. On the hem
Of the Lords garment just touch
OF faith brought blessings overmuch.
There may she lay mothers kiss,
So white with love he will not miss
Spices nor fragrant lilies, nor the glow
OF costly gems, nor doves as white as snow.
