a Much needed InyentIon.

The man who invents method OF
Joining the leather of machinery belts
so that it will be as strong at the point
Of union as elsewhere has an enormous
fortune waiting for him. A machine
belt three-sixteenths OF an inch thick
will sustain 675 pounds OF weight per
inch OF width. At the spices, after
the belt has been fastened with rlvets,
this is reduced to $50 pounds; lacing
reduces it still further to 200 pounds,
while safe working tension is only
about fifty pounds per inch. II the
belts could be made solid and as strong
at the joints as elsewhere the working
tension might be largely increased.

An Aneodote OF Ju.,ice Fuller.

The Chairman Of the Lecture Com
mittee in Oldtown, Me-, told me that
he once belonged to debating club Of
which the Chief Justice, when boy,
was member. 0ns evening Capital
Punishment" was the subject debated.
The deacon Of the church and two cler-
gymeD were for hanging. Young Fuller
was opposed.
Said the deacon, quoting from the
Mosaic law: "Whoso sheddeth mans
blood, by man his blood shall be shed"
Thinking this TO be bombshell TO his
opponents he dwelt upon it till his time
had expired, when the boy sprang TO
his feet and said:
"Supposing we take the law which
the gentleman has quoted and see what
the logical deduction would come to.
For example, one man kills another;
another man kills him and so on until
we come to the last man on earth.
Who's going to kill him? He dare not
commit suicide, for the same law forbid:
it. Now, Deacon" continued the boy,
what are you going to do with the last
man" Laughter.
The boys logic called out rounds Of
applause and vanquished the deacon,
and we hope he will be our Chief Jus
tlce for thousand years"

The power of prophecy Is very strong

leader OF a great rebellion died, but be-
fore he breatEed his last he predicted
that in the present year man would
arise in the east and carry out the rev.
Olution In which he had failed. So gen
eral has become the knowledge OF this
prophecy that the Culnese War Depart
