wire, which is heated by the passage OF
the current, is wound on frames or sup
ports in such way as to form a wire
network. This netting allows a free
cirSnlation of air about itself, but is
arranged in circuit as continuous con-

Among the most recent inventions,
electrical soldering will be hailed with
delight by the timers and can manu-.
facturers of the country. The "tin sol.
der" the soldering iron, will be shorr
of it's former greatness, if not rclegated
to back seat altogether. The follow
ing cut shows the workings of the cleo
trical soldering apparatus:
The essential parts, where the alter
mating current is to be used, is extreme
~ simple. 1t consists merely of &
peculiar form of converter, with it,
primary connected as shown, and the
secondary made of very low resistance
and shaped with loop or ring-shaped
end extending horizontally as indi
Gated. This extension is so made thai
its lower edge or surface will coincide
with the line of solder about the edge
of the lid of the can. This construction
will be understood by reference tx
figures in the cut.
In order to insulate the ring from the
tan, mica is interposed. The mica il

faced with a thin ring of metal. II

the proper temperature. The tin can
carried by the weighted lever, is thel

to the soldering of cans, the invento
has applied the method in other pro
cesses where materials are united b,
the employment of heat to fuse or mel
the uniting material.
Heating for domestic purposes here

Men from the United states Decidedly
Unpopular in Buenos Ayres.
Buenos Ayres is the victim of over
production of sharpers, of paper-money,
of mosquitoes and of heas. l do not
mean to imply that Buenos Ayres has
no shadow of right to it's name of
'Good Airs" or that all the Portenos,
as it's inhabitants are styled, come I'M
der the head of black sheep. But Buenos
Ayres for foul smells, can hold it's own
against any place have visited, and it's
flock of half million sheep contains an
unrivaled percentage of black ones,
writes correspondent of the Illustrated
American. 1t is the most cosmopolitan
city in the world, not excepting New
York. The boat that carries you from
breezes laden with odors that recall the
perfumery manufactures of Hunters
Point. You have barely reached the
end of the mole when Cologne, as it was
some years ago, is forcibly brought back
to your memory. AS you walk along the
narrow str cts, you might close your
eyes and believe you were in st. Malo.
When you reach your hotel, and the
door from the patio leading into your
windowless bedroom is opened, you are
almost bowled over by smell that
might have accumulated for century,
with manuscript and mice, in the garrett
of an old English country house.
AS with its smell, so with its people.
1t is full of declasses foreigners; full of
natives who ought to be declasses, not
emitting some of its most prominent
citizens and many of the powers that be.
Great britain, having nearly 10000
sons and daughters in the province of
Buenos Ayres, is, of course, fairly we'll
represented among those who came to
Argentina for their country's good, and
to play poker that would have made
General Schenck cry: "Did labor for
for this?" But Uncle Sam can show q
far larger proportion. Let by-gones be
by-gones! 1t will add to no ones virtue
to rake up old stories. will, however,
mention what a young American, who is
trying to start business in this coun-
try, said in my hearing the other day:
at is the most difficult thing for an
| American to get any standing here. His
countrymen, with some notable excep-
tons, have got such a bad name that
the natives won't trust a fresh arrival. \"

VERY many farmers are thoroughly
convinced that the money spent for
liquor ought to go for the purchase of
food and clothing. There is no way Of
telling the exact amount of injury done
to the business of farming by the liquor
traffic. We would better all confine
our energies to a consideration of ibis
truth: Civilization must destroy the
liquor traffic or be DESTROYED by it,.

Congressman Stewart and Temperance.

congressman stewart ana Temperance
Congressman Stewart, OF Georgia, in
a recent address in Washington, related
the following touching story which, he
said, led him to become interested in
the cause of Temperance: when lad,
living among the Georgia hills, he had
a friend, bright and promising, who
married beautiful and wealthy girl.
He fell victim to drink, and coming
home once in a debauch, seized little
child who ran forward to meet him and
dashed it against the wall. Not know
ing what he had done he threw himself
upon the bed and was soon in drunken
sleep. When told few hours later by
the crazed wife and mother that the
child was dead, he dashed out of the
house and no one saw him again. That
day." Mr.. Stewart said, II looked up to
God and swore that would always fight
the curse."-N. Y. Witness.

This is true. North Carolinians
do not read as a class the newspa-
