Among the recent mechanical con-
structions of note is a triple pillar saw
frame, conveniently designed to occu-
py space not much wider than an or
binary vertical log frame. In carrying
out this plan the cross girder, which
carries the saw frame and the crank
shaft bearings, is in one piece, the
whole being supported on three turned
pillars, on which. by means of screws
connected by suitable gearing, they
are raised and lowered together; in or
der to limit the distance between the
pillars as much as possible, the con-
Meeting rod is attached to the saw
frame that is furthest from the crank
shaft. There is bell crank and fly
wheel at each end of the crank shaft,
which enable the machine to work
steadily at high speed without exces-
sive vibration.

PLACING THE BURDEN.
How Albert A Pope Would Levy Taxes
for Good Roads.

How Albert A. Pope Would Levy Taxes
for Good Roads.
Aside from questions of material
gain, which is, perhaps, the lowest
standpoint 10 consider. and the good
that comes from easy means of COM
munication, there is to be borne in
mind that good roads are the great
highways for the advancement of social
life, education and Christianity. The
visits of friends, the attendance of
children at school, and the gathering
together at church, are all governed to
a greater or less extent by the eondi-
ton of the roads; the abandonment of
farms, and the crowding together of
people in the cities, is due largely to
the isolation caused by bad means of
communication to and from the farm.
But the problem to be solved is to pro-
vide money to build good roads. Many
farmers are opposed TO the good road
movement because it means to them
increase of taxation. and in some sec
tions of the country agricultural inter-
ests are so depressed that they do not
feel able to bear greater financial bur
dens. 1t has been estimated that the
state of Illinois loses every year $780,
DOC, 900 because of badoroads Now,
am going to urge plan which 1 be-
lieve to be the least burdensome and
the most effectual and equitable for
providing good roads Let each state
establish graduated succession tax
that is: a tax on property passing by
succession, by inheritance, or by lega-
cy. The succession tax will not fall on
the poor. Those whose estates amount
to $4,000 can well afford to give 500 to
the state in return for all the protec-
tion of its laws, which have enabled
wealth to be accumulated and enjoyed.

SOUTH CAROLINA "RAccoohs.

The Conditions Which Make Useless in
One State Alone Many Millions OF Oys-
tiers.
Carolina is well provided with natural
beds; but, says Mr.. Dean, they are
strangely unlike the natural beds fur
Their northward." In this region the
oyster is found on the margin of the
shore in positive reefs, part of which
are at low tide exposed-so that the
oysters live almost ''as much in the air
as in the water" These lodges are
formed of curious clusters-those oys-
tiers which are on the top being called
''raccoons," because of their peculiar
shape. These oysters can barely be
said to live, and are in, their present
condition utterly unfit for the table.
Prof. Ryder says that the cause of
this peculiar clustering is that, because
of the muddy and unhealthy condition
of the bottom in the deeper water, the
oysters of South Carolina cling to the
shore line and there build upon one
another, generation after generation,
until sometimes lodges are formed over
ten feet in height This crowding to-
gether prevents individual develop
ment, and consequently millions upon
millions of oysters are lost to the peo-
pie of this country in this one state
alone. That the planting of
'.racoon" seed in the deeper waters for
cultivation would be proftless is shown
by the natural growth of the oysters
themselves in the marginal waters.
They would soon become asphyxiated
in the soft, sitting mud bottom which
occurs along the entire coast line of
this state.-Robert F. Walsh, in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

Money in Potato Raising.

The growing of potatoes should be
profitable. A yield of $50 bushels of
tubers per acre may cause q loss, for
the reason that as much work in plow-
ing, planting, cultivation and harvest
ing such q yield is necessary as
would be required for twice as many
bushels An experimental plat has
yielded in proportion over 1000 bushels
per acre, which demonstrates that an
acre of land can be made to give larger
yield with the same cultivation If more
plant food is applied.

The new resistance metal in wire,
sheet, or casting now being introduced
is stated to be a very important con-
tribution to this class of material. The
wire resembles ordinary Cooperative on
the outside, has a pinkish white tinge
at the surface of fracture, and is very
strong without losing much ductility;
the torsion twist shows over eighty
twists in six inches for an annealed
wire, which still possesses seventy
thousand pounds tensile strength to
the square inch, and hard-drawn wire
is said to run to one hundred thousand
pounds tensile strength, with about
forty twists in six inches. Com bided
with these mechanical qualities this
wire is claimed to have resistance thir-
ty-five times that of a copper with a
temperature co-efficient of less than one
tenth that of German silver.

MAY UNSEAT MORE.
Chairman Of The Elections
Committee Talks.
FOUR SEATS TO BE EMPTIED
Contests Include Cases in East Green
witch, East Providence and This City.

Chairman Thomas w. Robinson OF the
House OF Representatives committee on
election today confirmed the report that
the Democratic majority In the lower
branch would unseat several more Repub-
iican members, says the correspondent OF
the Boston Globe.
A meeting OF the House Election Com
mittee was called for to-day, but as the
evidence and papers I'm the various cases
are not ready an adjournment was taken
until a week from Thursday, at which
time IL is expected the Supreme Court will
have decided the questions submitted by
the Democratic House.
In the South Kingstown case, heard Mt
the present term of the court, 1t was de-
cided that the two houses were the judges
OF Its own members and their eligibility
to serve as such.
IL Is expected that this opinion will be
reafiirmed by the court and that the eec-
tions committee will then decide upon the
unseating OF four or five more OF the Re-
publican minority In the lower House.
The leading Democrats are somew hat
argitated over the confirmed report that
both the Block Island members OF the
Legislature will vote for the Repu blican
candidates for State officers.
1t is asserted that to checkmste the
scheme OF the two Block Island Democrats
the work OF the Elections Committee will
be pushed forward and more changes
actually made in the House before any
vote for Governor can be had In the event
of the Supreme Court advising a grand
committee to count State election ballots
and I'll the vacancies In State offices.
Chairman Robinson says there are no less
than four seats now occupied by Republi-
cans which will be declared vacant.
In some of those he also states Demo-
crats will be seated, and among those to
be given places In the new House Is Hon.
Hugh J. Carroll of this city.
The contests include cases in East
Greenwich, East Providence and Paw
tucket, also one In the town of Lincoln.
