The strange freaks Of the wool trade pat
many a republican protec,ionist in hole
from which he can not extricAie himself.
In view of the decreased demand for wool
in the United States and the consequent
low price. one would naturally think our
manufacturers would largely cease import
ing wool. Not so. The amount imported
for the month OF May. 1882. was "A. .I64 ,954
pounds and for the month of May, 1898,
il was Ass. .59I pounds. and increase OF
424.6S7 pounds fer the one month alone,
But look at this: For the eleven months
ending June ist, lSaa. the number oE
pounds imported vas iSS.762. .9S9 pounds
and for the eleven months ending June Isl
of this year it amounted to Isl, ,577, SIS
pounds. an increase of 81 ,924. $50 pounds
These figures are official and can no; bt
disputed The Osesoaiax's talk abou, tht
price of wool is general and made wholly
for partisan purposes. These figures show
facts and figures that tell plainly the results
of the operation of the protection on WOO.

An Adjustable Camera stand-A Light

For Upgrade Propulsion.

Quite an ingenious method has been
resorted to for assisting electric cars
up a steep grade in Seattle. Two
run on track in a conduit feet wide
and Is inches below the street surface,
and at the bottom of these weights
abut against an air cushion made Of
two s-inch wrought iron pipes of s-feet
length, inclosing finch pistons of
about the same length. At the other
end of a steel cable attached to the
CONFERENCE.-The is small dummy rum
ming in a conduit of inches wide by
8 inches deep, placed above the larger
conduit; this dummy has bar hinged
to it and projecting s inches above the
ground, to which the drawbar of the
car is coupled. In operation, the
loaded car descending the grade draws
up the counterweight, which very
nearly equals the weight of the empty
car, the electric power and brakes be-
ing operated as on the level. In as
cending, the counterweight comes
down and pulls up the car, with the
assistance of the electric motor to han
die the load; when the car is uncou-
pied at the foot of the grade, an auto
matte catch holds the dummy in posi-
ton for the next ascending car.
Another simple but essential mech
anism in carrying out this arrange
ment, is the employment of n safety
catch with the weights in case of
breakage of the rope, and the coupling
is automatic.

spring. and at it's rear end is clampcd
by breech block having upwardly
extending fianges, forming guides for
the knife, the flanges being recessed in
center to afford space for placing the
neck of the chicken, and the behead-
ing knife slides across this space be-
tween the fanges The knife is inclined,
and its lower end slides in n slot in the
top of the barrel, where it is secured
to n sliding plunger, to which one end
of the main spring is attached, the
other end of the spring being secured
to the barrel. In the front end of the
barrel is cushion, against which the
extended shank of the plunger strikes,
absorbing shock and limiting the for
ward movement of the plunger and
knife. The plunger and knife are
pulled back against the tension of the
spring by handles on the sides of the
plunger, the handles projecting
through side slots in the breech block
and barrel. A notch in the bottom of
the plunger receives a pawl on thu
front end of n curved trigger, by which
the knife and plunger are held in
rearmost position when the device is
to be used. A depending hook or
fiange on the front end of the barrel
may be hooked upon some object to
facilitate pulling back the plungcr, or
to steady the implement when it is
used. When the neck of the chicken
is placed in the space provided there
for. and the trigger is pulled, the
plunger is instantly released and the
knife drawn rapidly forward, the cut
being effected with certainty, neatness,
and dispatch

was in reality nothing of that char
acter in private life.
