The trial OF Andy Hoover for forging
the name of Thomas Hockensmith to a

a brother-in-law to Hoover, and the latter
says the signature to the note in ques-

signed by Hockensmith as security for it's
payment. Hoover was for a time a sue
cessful contractor. but lost heavily on con-

fortunes did not come singly, and soon
after his unsuccessful work in Tuxedo his

lower forked ends Of the rods being
normally held out of contact with the
ground by springs and the rods be-

means of h andes at each side of the

Wlre-Rope TramMaYh

II is strange that more attention has
not been given to the means of trans
portation of which the wire-rope tram
way is the fundamental idea. What
more simple means of getting about
than that presented by wire upon
which light and strong wire baskets
run by means of grooved wheels put
on in pulley-fashion. The baskets
may be made to hold two, four or six,
and can be run out upon the main
cable by suitably arranged machinery.
The cable may be on the grip or troll
lev systems and the basket attach
ments can be so arranged as to clasp
securely over the wire and at the same
time rul without difficulty through
the supporting framework that sup
ports the wire. There would be no
heavy, cumbersome and expensive
cars; the strain on the cables would
be much less than one might imagine,
and rapid transit would be secured at
a minimum of cost. As a carrier for
ore and other articles this system has
done most excellent service. In one
place having clear span of 2, ESQ feet

An Improved Typewriter

An inventor at the west claims to
have constructed a machine which will
accomplish not only the work of an
ordinary typewriter but is adopted
for successful operation In the case of
bound books ofany size as the device
can be readily clasped upon book Of
any breadth or thickness, for the re-
cording of a deed or other instru-
ment of writing. In this mechanism
there are seventy-four characters, in
GLIDING all carried by the usual ma
chimes, while there are but twenty
seven keys to be operated, and in its
movement it strikes downward or
travels over the page or paper from
left to, right, along spacing bar, the
printing continuance which moves
along the bar weighing only four and
one-half pounds, while the clasps and
the entire apparatus weigh only nine
and three -fourths pounds There is
also provided an ingenious kind of
lining arrangement-suitabl e for appli-
cation likewise to other typewriters-
insuring perfect regulation of the dis
tances between lines until the ma
chine is finally worn out

Disposing of Sewage.

The claim is made for Germany OF
having the most complete and success
ful system of sewage disposal of any
country on the continent of Europe
In Berlin, where the features of this
system are SO perfectly represented,
the drains from the houses receive
both the rain water, the refuse water
from the kitchen, etc, and the con-
tents of the water closets, conducting
them to an arrangement of radial
sewers, through which, by natural
fall, they pass to a dozen different
pumping stations within the area OF
the town From these the sewage,
through the medium of combined
force and suction pumps, proceeds
through pipes of three feet or still
greater diameter to the land which
the corporation of Berlin possesses,
the material thence making its hnal
exit through a system of conduits 50
arranged that, before reaching them,
1t has parted with all its manurial
power to the soil through which it is
made to pass The sewage water thus
filtered reaches the river through the
natural fall of the conduits in COM
saratively purified state.

Tin for Filling Teeth.

A dental specialist has made a dis.
covery that is likely to have decided
influence upon the future of dentistry.
This practitioner declares that in or
binary cases tin is quite equal to gold
for filling teeth Chemically pure tin
is run into a mold of proper shape,
and when cold is cut by lathe into
very thin shavings These are used
in the same way as gold They are
said to be more adaptable and cohesive
than gold, and while not as durable
will answer every purpose. 1t is a
MISUNDERSTOOD fact that gold filings
really last but a few years. The tooth
decays or breaks away around the
metal, which must be taken out and
the cavity reprepared. This is ex-
pensive and while some of the present
day dentists will adhere to the gold
filing and high charges, there are
others who will fall into the popular
line and use tin and make out then
bills accordingly.
