TIE MOON.
It's DeteteriO"s Effects Exercised or Tools
By ,HO0H1;gRt.

The Industrial American ia speak
ing of the faith that some farmers have
in planting their seed or killing their
hogs at certain phases Of the moon
says: To those who pin their faith to
the moon and plant or reap by its
phases the following article on "til.e
effects Of the sun On edged tools. :
taken from Iron will be interesting:
1T is not generally known thai the
light Of the sun and the moon exercises
Il deliterious effect on edged tools
Knives, drills, scythes and Sickles as
sumo blue color if they are exposed
for some time to the light and heat OF
the sun: the sharp edge disappears
and the tool is rendered absolutely Use
less until it is retempered. Purchasers
should therefore be on their guard
against buying tools from Il retail deal
ers and peddlers, which for show pllr-
poses have probably been exposed for
days together to the glare OF the sun.
The umSeryiceableneS of tools ac-
CURED under these conditions is gen
orally wrongly attributed to bad ma
terial or to inferior workmanship. \
similarly prejudicial effect has been eX-
ercised by moonlight. An ordinary
cross cut saw is asserted to have been
put out of shape in a single night by
exposure to the moon. To this it adds:
We know that freshly killed beef eN-
posed to the moon, will faint more
quickly than if exposed to the sun.
1t also might add the well known
fact that fresh fish exposed to the rays
ray Of the full moon in tropical coun-
try become absolutely poisonous. It
may be possible that some of the cases
Of poisoning by cheese are due to the
effects of moonlight upon it in sou,e

Chemists and scientific men. as we'll
as practical cheese makers have been
unable to give any satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION of these cases. which foltu-
nately are rare. but well known
among physicians. These popular
Superstitions sometimes have a foun-
dation for their existence which is
easily found by science when the in
vestigaters look in the right direction.

WinuO,rioa Gold :

The gold diggers of Thibet, most of
whom are Chinese, make air do the
work of water. That is to say they use
the same process by which farmers
used to winnow their grain before fan
ming mills were invented. They lift the
baskets containing the gold to an ele-
walton and then slowly empty the con-
tents to the ground.

Republican protection IS justified by its
authors and promoters solely upon the as
sumed ground that il benefits the work
ingman. The platform adopted at Mime
apolis demands the continuance of high
protection in order that capitalists may
pay to work!rgn.en higher wages than are
paid in the foreign manufacturing con
Germs with which native manufacturers
are called upon to compete. Here is a SIM
pie issue, and if it can be shown that the
effect Of Republican protection is not to
improve the wages of American working
men, the fallacy of the Republican pretense
is exposed.

FROM A MAN SIXTY FEET HIGH
A North Dakotan Has "a Valuable Relic
of the Prehistoric Hges.

FARGO, N. OAK, Dec. I9.-Col. j. ii.
Ray of Dickinson, this state, owns relic
OF the prehistoric ages. 1t was dug up in
gravel-pit one mile from Glendive. in
Eastern Montana. 1t hes been ex hdmed by
members of the Smithsonian Institute and
Oberlin College and pronounced to be one
Of the most valuable discoveries OF its
kind ever made on the North American
continent. From its structure 1t must
have formed the backbone ofa biped fully
sixty feet high.
A specimen ofa human verteJra that has
been taken from the frame Of man sit
feet high was laid alongside it. The relic
vas found TO be perfect counterpart, ex-
cept il was ten times as large.
The hole through the centre OF the
mailer piece OF bone, where the spinal
ccgd once was, is said TO be an indication
OF The size Of the brain. The hand of an
ordinarr-sized man can be placed in the
cavity OF the prehistoric relic. The size of
th'B cavity convinced the scientists that it
was not relic from the remains OF an
AFT.

Boston, Dec. l9.-Archibald Rogers

the patriotic zeal or Boston yachtsmen,
quiescent only because of the death OF

Rogers for his prompt action.
''He is as good a yachtsman as can be
named TO look after a cup defender" he

Defeat at the Polls a Reason for Suicide

BosToN, Dec. 19.-An examination OF
the papers Of j. Walter Bradlee, the prom
inent citizen of Milton whose body was
found hanging to tree in the woods,
shows that he must have contemplated
suicide for some time. Everything In his
safe was found in order, with full and ac-
curate instructions az TO tho disposal OF
his effects. An intimate friend of Mr..
Bradlee says that he has never been in
good spirits since he was defeated for
sheriff of Norfolk county three years ago
by the present sheriff. He was the Re-
publican candidate in district strongly
Repu blican, and felt the sting of defeat
very keenly.

this was done when he had been locked UP
only a couple of days. Unfortunately for
Perry, a detective, who was inconveniently
interested in the interview between father
and son, saw the little slip of paper as it
was passed out, and it was secured a few
moments later by threats of searching and
arrest.
This made it necessary for extra precau-
lions to be adopted to prevent the escape of
the slippery young fellow whose daring
deeds a caused the exploits of the James
gang to pale into insignifcance. Perry
has, therefore, been fitted with a pair of iron
anklets, connected by a log chain only eight
inches in length. AS a result he would be
a lamentable failure as a sprinter hould
he ever try to escape from an officer who
might be taking him to and from court,
for owing to the short, mincing steps
which his shackles permit him to use he
could be easily overtaken by a nan on
crutches. Given his liberty even Perry
would have a difficult task to free himself
from the with which the sheriff
has presented him, for they are all riveted
on-not ~locked-and nothing less than a
cold chisel and several hours of patient la
Dor would suffice to get them off.
There are many different methods en-
ployed for preventing the escape of prison
ers while travelling with an officer. Per
haps the Oldest and the one most frequent
ly used in the smaller communities is that
of Stacking the criminal to the constable or
deputy sheriff. But this has been found
sadly defective in many cases, for it has
not infrequently occurred that the prisoner
has assaulted his guardian with his free
hand, taken she key Of the handouts from
his pocket, locked both bracelets" upon
the officer and then escaped.
The latest device is decidedly better, for
it combines simplicity with efficacy. 1t is
Known as the Oregon boot, and while 1t
has been in use but a short time, no cap
tive has ever made the attempt to escape
while incumbered with it, for any shrewd
criminal is quick to recognize the futility
of trying to "beat the boot" This terror
to evil doors consists of a piece of thin.
but strong, steel, shaped like the letter U,
the bottom of which is riveted to a heavy
brogan shoe under the instep. At the top
of this U is another piece of steel in the
form of a capital o. This is riveted on fiat
and at right angles to the metal attached
to the shoe. This brings the rcula band
but a few inches above the ankle of the
wearer, whose foot is put through it and
down into the shoe. Then the weight,
which is made in two parts and is self lock-
ing, is put on Just above the O., Upon which
1t rests. While standing still the wearer
is at no great discomfort, but every time
he moves the boot leg he is obliged to lift
twenty pounds extra with it. Even If he
should TAKE off the shoe and bands no pur-
pose would be served save to let the heavy
