A Device to Close Elevator Shafts.

Device to Close Elevator Shafts.
The rapidity with which fires are
likely to be communicated from floor
to floor Of a burning building through
open elevator shafts has suggested the
Improvement shown in the accompany
ing illustration, providing means for
readily closing the shaft at each floor
during the time the elevator is not
running. 1t forms the subject of
patent recently issued to Mr.. N. j.
Blagen, of Portland, Ore. On the
top Of the usual carriage or cage are
hinged supports on which rest q series
of platforms adapted to close
the shaft openings ut the differ
emit floors, the platforms having
in their side edges pins adapted to en-
gage corresponding recesses in the
floors The pins on the several plat
forms are arranged at different points,
SO that each platform will be engaged
only ut one particular floor. During
the time the elevator Is running, the
platforms are supported upon carriage
at the top of the shaft, this carriage
sliding under the lowermost platform
when the car is ut the top, and thus
supporting all the platforms free from
the car. A rope connected with this
carriage passes over pulley and cx-
tends down within convenient reach of
the operator in the car, when the lat
ter is at the top Of the shaft Previous
to stopping the elevator for the
night the car is run to
its uppermost position, with the
hinged platform supports on its top
extended, the supports then lifting the
series of platforms, and supporting
them over the carriage, when the lat
ter is, by means Of the rope, drawn to
one side of the shaft opening, as shown
in the illustration. The platforms,
resting on the supports on the top of
the car, are carried down with it as it
starts, the uppermost platform being
first engaged by its pins and stopping
at the uppermost floor, and the others
being in succession deposited at their

Trusts are not due to protection.

Trusts are not due to protection.
This Is shown by the fact that the
great Mecca Of combinations of all kinds
is free trade Great Britain.
They are the product Of human
weakness common to all men, In every
country and under every political sys-
tem-cupidisy.
Combination b the recognized com.
mercial tendency of the day. 1t is
natural for men to combine where they
see an opportunity for their own profit,
and they will do this whether there be a
tariff or not, as all impartial judges,
even free traders, will admit.
Protection is no friend of trusts; in
fact, IL is essentially opposed to them.
It prevents the formation of interna-
tional combinations, for which there
could be no destructive remedy, and
guarantees men who wish to compete
with a trust fair field and chance fo1
competition. By protection also trusts
are placed within the reach Of our OWE
laws; placed where they can be attacked
and destroyed by the strong arm of the
government.
Free trade, on the other hand, either
leads to the establishment of interna.
tional combinations, or by destroying
an industry in this country and causing
us to become dependent for the product
of that industry on a few foreigners
kuts us at the mercy of foreign trust
from which there can be no escape, and
which Of course no legislation of ours
can reach.
This is entirely in harmony with the
ordinary free trade programme-to sub
ject us in everything to the domination
of the foreigner.
The only effective remedy for comb
nations is radical antitrust law, suct
as that already passed by protectionist
congress.
The question of trusts can be formu
lated in a few words: Free trade and

1t is sometimes supposed by persons i'm
perfectly informed in mechanics that a
long screwdriver gives greater leverage"
than short one, This. however, is incor-
rect. The action of screwdriver the
pressure on which is direct, is not in any
way analogous to that of lever. The
superiority Of long screwdriver rests
simply on two facts-frst, you can gener-
ally get better grip OF lor.g screwdriver
than of short one and can bring the whole
weight of the body and strength of the
arms to bear on it, and second, the torsion
of the iron in long screwdriver comes in
to supplement the force employed. The
only way in which leverage can come in is
in connection with the breadth of the point
of the screwdriver, and even this counts
for nothing beyond the breadth of the head
of the crew.-Brooklyn Eagle.

During tho past year the department
of agriculture has been represented in
number of European countries by a spe-
cial agent, charged with the duty of
urging the use abroad of Indian corn as
human food. A statement from Ger.
man official sources presented in do
partment report shows tho heavy in-
crease in our shipments to that country
as the result of this effort. The trade
returns of the fiscal year just ended also
bear witness to tho effective work which
has been done upon this line. During
the twelve months ending June 30, 1892,
we shipped 73,76S,672 bushels of corn,
valued at $40 ,623,5l against 80, 76s, 2t3
bushels, valued at $i7,G5a, GS7. during
the preceding yeat.
A comparison of the trade of six
months, furnished in q recent report
from the national statistician, shows
the results which have been accom-
plished. He says: "From Jan. to
June 80, 1892, we sold 55,554, 173 bush
els, valued at $a9, 05S, bog, against H.
$685. 1913 bushels, valued at $7,791 1925,
for the same period of the previous
year. Another gratifying fact is to be
noted. Heretofore, when our shipments
of corn abroad have been large, it has
been sold at a low price. Thus in 1890,
the only year in which exports were as
large as those of the past season, the
average price was only All, while the
average price received for the ship
ments of 1892 was 55,1 cents per bushel."

The practice of borrowing books is es-
sentially an evil one in those who can
afford to own books, and public libraries
serve to encourage and foster the evil,
though they are of very great value to the
poor student. We think that upon general
principles people should own the books
they read. We believe heartily in buying
books, reading books and keeping books,
but not in borrowing books. AS refer.
ence a public library serves an admirable
purpose, and in many instances it is of I'm.
doubted advantage to the people. But one
who would be surely profted by books
should own them If he can and should
have them for companions continually

In many localities the ordinary farmer
does not yet patronize the silo, and
consequently col N fodder is an impor-
tant crop. II properly used there is no
better feed for cattle, but on many
farms there is nothing used with as
poor economy as is corn fodder. In a
paper Incorporated in the quarterly re-
port of the Kansas state board of agri-
culture this statement is made: Gan
acre of good corn fodder, corn that will
yield fifty or sixty bushels per acre if
secured at the right time, is worth as
much for feed MS the hay from an acre
of tame grass" 1t is advised in this
lame paper that the handling of corn
