The Deis Manufacturing
Company.

At Canal Dover, an enterprising town in
Eastern Ohio, father and four sons, Deis by
name, owned and controlled a large furniture
plant They had started this business in 1882
although for some twenty years prior they had
been engaged in the lumber trade in that same
locality. As furniture manufacturers their
beginning was necessarily small, but energy,
close attention to business and an extra grade
of work produced results, and when they left
Canal Dover their plant covered 10000 square
feet of ground and one hundred men alone were
employed in turning out chamber suits. Not a
bad showing for ten years of effort. A decrease
in the timber supply OF that Immediate region,
the fact that they were outgrowing their ac-
commodations, and desire to be nearer their
increasing eastern trade, forced them to look

Ticket Nlncl,inea.

The eXigencies of railway passenger
traffic have led to the invention of
most ingenious machines for the can
collation., dating and registering Of tick
cts In one machine, designed for re-
turning our tickets rapidly for street
railways. ferries. etc, the individual
tickets in q large roll Of paper Of the
required width and thickness, are di-
vided from one another by n perfor-
alton and a pair of notchcs, which
are also used for maintaining the regis
ter during printing. The strip Of paper
thcn passes over a series of wheels,
which regulate the frictional tension,
to the printing cylinder, from which
ii is turned out ready for use. In
other machines Eclicts can be numbered
.consecutively from cne to any given
lumber. For instance there is spe-
cial 'tickct-holdcr and register" by
which Il web of tickets can be cut up
and dated. each ticket being counted
and marked us it is being withdrawn,
to prevent fraud. The tape is drawn
through feed rollers, by turning han
die. and passed between Il printing cyl
inder and IL bed cylinder. Upon the
printing cylinder is knife which cuts
off The tickets us it delivers them
through Il slot. A counting device is
gearcd to the printing cylinder, and
Keeps Il register of the operation. 1t
is enclosed in Il case, Which is normally
closed by Il locked door by the use
of this machine all troublesome count
ing Of the stock of tickets is avoided;
while dishonest officials find an exact
account kept against them.

END OF THE


Latest Experiments In Elcctro-Cul-
The tabulation of Prof r. Chodat's
late experiments OH the action of cleo
tric light on vegetation affords most
valuable and authoritative data on the
subject. To discover whether germina-
ton was really quicker in plants I'M
der the influence of electricity Prof
Chodat lAlde the following experiment:
y certain number of bean seeds were
placed in water until the roots became
visible. Fourteen seeds in all We're
used; they were divided into two lots,
each of these being identically the
same as regards weight, size and ap-
pearance. Each lot was placed in a tub
containing s;lwdust, and each was regu-
larly watercd and submitted to the
same conditions of heat and light. One
of the tubs was then placed in commu-
nication with IL HoltZ machine and cleo
tritird, the first day for forty minutes,
the second day for two and One-half
hours, the third day for three and one
half hours. the fifth day for four hours,
and the following days for three hours
up to the eleventh day. On the fourth
day the leaves began to appear in the
electrified tub. while no sign Of leaf
was apparent in the other. On the
fifth day the difference was still more
marked, for the leaves and stems began
to take an upright position, though no
activity was manifest in the second
tub On the seventh day the nom
electrified seeds began to put forth
buds. 1t is an interesting fact that
the sensitive plant is not affected by
these electrical influences.

chase. although the question admits Of

chase. although the question admits Of
argument. A number of good and ex-
perienced housekeepers assert that a
small towel performs the best service,
and, though the number is increased in
the weekly wash, any laundress pre-
fers to do up three small towels to
single large and heavy one. 1t is, of
course. an individual question. but the.
advocates of the lesser size will have to
make their towels from huckaback by
the yard to insure getting good quail
lty, as the better grades are not offered
in the very short towels. This. with
the single exception of the variety
known as babies towels. which can be
had made up at some of the furnishing
stores. AS they are very soft and fine,
their purchase for general use cannot
be recommended.
AT the linen counters nowadays are
sold scrub cloths of sleasily- woven
hemp and cotton, which sell for about
81 dozen. Another useful cotton
cloth that can be bought is the so-called
chamois dust-cloth, which is firm,
