Setting Type with Both Hands.

A foreman of composing room has
conceived the idea of using both hands
in picking up and setting the types in
the stick. Ever since the composing
stick was known the left hand has held
the stick while the thumb pressed each
successive type into place against the
pieces already in line. A one armed
compositor came to the foreman's room,
and with single hand set almost as
much type as his fellow laborers did
with two.
After thinking this over the foreman
worked out two inventions, by which he
proposes to use both hands at once. The
first is little mechanical device for tax
ing the place of the thumb, and the sec
ond is an attachment by which the stick
can be put in convenient position for
receiving the type without being in the
way of any subsequent operations.
Having got SO far, the foreman found
that his next step was to train the left
hand. This was by no means easy, but
after patience and practice consider
able degree of proficiency was attained.
and he added GO per cent. to his former
capacity. He believes a still further
advance is practicable, but is confident
that any compositor by the use of his
inventions will be able to add at least so
per cent. to his speed. -Pittsburg Dis

An odd Place 10 Store plunaer.

Much annoyance is frequently occa-
stoned by persons getting keys for the
purpose of viewing unoccupied houses
and calling to return them. In this con-
nection | may mention an incident that
happened year or two ago. A well
dressed gentleman called at our Office
for the key Of house 10 look over it.
He neglected to return the key, however,
and the house was subsequently, let to
another party.
About twelve months afterward,
while repairing drain, the floor of one
of the rooms had 20 be removed, when a
quantity of watches, rings and other
jewellery was found concealed under the
joists. These Were proved to be the pro-
ceeds of burglary at a jewelers. prem
ises. The man who had got the key of
the house was known TO the police as a
notorious burglar, and at tho time had
been suspected % the robbery, but was
allowed to escape from want of sufficient
evidence to convict him. As he was
kept Swallowed by the police he had con-
sidered it impolitic to attempt to remove
the stolen property.
Shortly after this he was arrested in
tho north of England for a similar Of
Tense and was sentenced to five years
penal servitude. His sentence has not
yet expired, and he probably remains in
ignorance Of the fresh charge that will
await him on his release.-Lopdon Tit

Extraordinary Properties of Nut.

The wonderful stories that have been
told of the life giving properties of the
celebrated "kola' nut of western and
southern Africa are even more than con
frmed by eulogistio letter written by
the British consul at Bahia. The west
African carriers at that port continually
use the kola, which they carry about
carefully wrapped in pieces of banana
peel. These human beasts of burden
are not, physically speaking, superior to
the Brazilian negro, yet this African,
with the additional nerve force impaired
by the kola nut, can endure from 10 to
100 hours of fatigue, the half of which
would kill the laborer foolhardy enough
to attempt it without using the invig-
Grating little nut.
Where it takes eight Brazilian negroes
to carry load with difficulty, four
African porters carry it cheerfully
along, singing "as if each muscular ex-
ertion was exhilarating joy" Where
kola eaters are employed in unloading
vessels they are always given twice the
pay received by their competitors who
do not use the nut. There are thousands
OF this latter class, the majority of
whom refuse to eat it because of be-
lief that the devil originated the nut for
the special use Of those he desired to
have as laborers in his vineyard. st.

Electricity in Warfare.

A clever piece of work was recently
done by the telegraph battalion of an
English regiment in the course of some
night experiments. An extensive cable
was rapidly laid over the toughest pos
sible ground, and that, too, without
the slightest assistance from search
lights, and the lieutenant general was
thus enabled not only to find lost bri-
gade, but to control the simultaneous
advance and attack of three separated
brigades on an earthwork at midnight.
The telegraph in fact rendered most
difficult and doubtful operation COM
paratively easy and certain. With large
scale maps, a balloon and increased OBJ
serving staff, it is likely to be made a
most important aid to the strategist and
the tactician. Exchange.

Most Fans Are Made in Paris.

Most of the finer fans sold here are
made in Paris and in three or four sub
arlssR villages near by. No fanmake,
knows the whole art. All the workers
in one village make sticks; those in an
other fold; those in a third supply the
bows that hold the sticks together. The
making of the upper sticks is u trade by
itself. After all the parts have been
made they are sent to the great factories
in Paris to be put together. A fanmaker
begins his apprenticeship in childhood.
The tools are few and simple.
Most of the carving and filigree work
is done with chisel or scroll saw. The
pattern, traced on paper, is pasted on
the piece of bone or ivory or wood from
which the fan stick is to be made, and
the filigree is rapidly cut with a saw.
Tortoise shell sticks are made by special
workers in shells. That is difficult,

full shell workers are in New York, and
they are among the best paid artisans

A Monster Volcano.

Hawaii is chiefly famous for its vol
canoes. Kilauea, the largest active vol.
cano in the world, lies ON the side of the
mountain Mauna Loa at an elevation of
1000 feet. We usually think of vol
cano as a cone, but Kilauea is rather a
great sunken pit in the midst of vast
desolate plain, which slopes up gently to
the summit of the mountain. 1t is pit
of no less than nine miles in circumfer-
ence and the area of it's lowest level is
six square miles. The level varies, but
it is at present 900 feet below the sur
rounding country, and is reached by a
steep descent down the sheer face of a
precipice which extends right around
the crater and, as it were, walls it in.
Within the crater, toward its southern
end, is an inner crater with one or more
lakes of fire, called Halemaumau, or
House of Everlasting Burnings, which
constitute the true chimney of the vol
cano. Here Kilauea exhibits its cease
less activity.-Asiatic Quarterly.

West Virginia Mountaineers.

There is probably nowhere in the
United States an odder people than the
mountaineers in the remote districts of
West Virginia. The ''stoneboat" of the
quarry is often substituted for a wheeled
vehicle in drawing loads down the
mountains, and the people are so un.
familiar with the amenities of civilized
life as to be ignorant of many words in
common use among better educated
country folks. ''Mr. Rosser's critter
comp'ny" was the mountaineer's phrase

that the steamer Empress of India,
which left Yokohama the 10Th for Brit
ish Columbia, has a case of Asiatic
cholera aboard. Information is said to
have come by a private message that
the authorities at Yokohama refused to
allow the steamer to land. 1t is impos-
sible to verify the statement. If such
proves to be the case this whole country
is subject to infection, as the Dominion
health officer at Victoria has refused the
request of the Canadian Pacific authori-
ties to have all steerage passengers from
Oriental points placed in quarantine for
fourteen days whether any disease ap-
pears among them or not, unless he re-
ceives special authority from Ottawa to
that effect. The Empress of India has
275 passengers in the steerage. The
case mentioned is said to be among
those passengers.

DE-. eoUcHER's DISCOVERY.
A Matter of Considerable Importance
to Orchardists.

a Matter of Considerable Importance
to Orchardists.
, DIR. Goucher, of Amity, has made a
discovery i'll regard to the apple pest, a
result of which he calls the ideas of
numerous fruit tree fanatics all bosh.
He thinks he learned more from a COM
mon little bird, called the 'sap-sucker,p p
than he would should he listen all sum-
mer to those men who will debate on
the long, jawbreaking named animals
that infest the apple crop. One day last
week the doctor was about his yard and
noticed a little sap-sucker fitting about
for long time around the trunk and
among the branches of one of his favor
lite apple trees. He made an investiga-
ton, and magnifying glass plainly dis
closed large number of the common
little yellowish-whitew worms with brown
heads, coursing heavenward along the
trunk of the tree. They were then
from an eighth to a quarter of an inch
in length, and while a few were
substituted as rations for the sapsucker,
far greater number were rapidly de-
stroying the fruit. The idea of the
worm coming from an egg laid in the
blossom is proven without foundation if
the trees in DIR. Goucher's orchard are
like those we read about in other places.
Nine times out of ten the worm enters
the apple from the side and very seldom
is the worm hole found near the bios
som. Very frequently on cutting the
apple with knife, the worm will be
found before it has reached the core, and
beyond its location the apple is sound
and never is an apple found sound on
the outside that a worm inhabits the
core. Numerous experiments have
proven that coal oil will kill any of these
little pests without injuring the tree and
the doctor now feels satisfied that if he
keeps the trunks of his trees well wash
ed with that fluid during the growth of
the apple, he will have sound fruit, ne
matter how many bugs use the blossoms
for nest.
