Machine for Measuring Lengths of
Wire.

A wire measuring machine has been
constructed for the use of wire manu-
facturers, contractors and others who
may require to keep a constant check
OH the quantity of wire or cable paid
out or reeled in. 1t consists of a
strong but light steel wheel, mounted
on a cast-iron frame, and having a
fine worm wheel. This drives a train
of clockwork connecting with the
bands of the dials, which indicate
units, tens and thousands of feet or
yards or meters, according to require
ments. To prevent error due to slip
ping, there is a small roller or the top
of the wheel upon which the length to
be measured runs. This roller presses
the wire or cable on to the wheel.
This machine should prove of great
convenience, as by means of it cables
and wires can be automatically 'neas
lred during or after process of manu-
facture, or before being sent out for Il
temporary task. as well as after they
are returned. Adjustable contacts can
be fitted to the dials to ring a bell
when the desired length has passed.

Soldering Lead to Lead,

According to the Revue Industrielle,
AR. Blondel soldiers lead to itself by
making use of an amalgam of the
metal. The two pieces to be soldered
are first carefully cleaned by scraping.
Then there is interposed between them
:: thin layer of lead, and an ordinary
soldering iron is passed over the line
of junction. The heat disengages the
mercury of the amalgam and the lead,
set free in n state of minute division,
enters into fusion and soldiers the two

Gloom Was Averted-The Present

From the Herald, Helena, Mont.
AS rugged and hardy as one of the pines
which grow in the Rocky Mountain region
Is q. E. Ticknor, Ct Helena, Montana. For
twenty-four years he has resided in the
mountain country, but his vigor is not due
altogether to the bracing air of Montana.
Last fall Mr.. Ticknor was what might be
termed a physical wreck. For eight weeks
he lay on his bed suffering from a severe
attack of sciatic rheumatism in one Of his
hips. Physicians and medicines gave him
no relief and the future looked gloomy.
Added to his troubles was the anxiety con-
corning the care of a large family. By
chance one day Mr.. Ticknor saw an account
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He said to a Herald reporter that he was
not in favor of proprietary remedies, but
In this instance something in the article
caught his attention and he determined to
give the pills a trial. In the interview with
the Herald representative the other day,
Mr.. Ticknor spoke in the most emphatic
terms of the marvellous change in his con-
dition. Before a week had gone by" he
said, II was able to get out of bed and
move about. | had hardly used one box OF
the pills. By the time l lac taken three
boxes | felt twenty years younger. In fact
l was a new man and nave been perfectly
well ever since. can't say too much for
Pink Pills and I never miss an opportunity
to praise them"
When the Herald representative saw Mr..
Ticknor he was making some repairs on the
school building on Boulder Avenue. He
swung his carpenters hammer with all the
vigor Of a lusty young man and looked as
hale and hearty as any man of his years
to be found in the entire Rocky Mountain
country. He is ffty-nine years old and is
able to do a day S work at his trade of car
penter. Pink Pills can always be found in
his house. Mr.. Ticknor lives at 1919 Boulder
Avenue, near the American Biscuit Manu-
featuring C%ompany's plant, where he will
be glad to see anyone who wishes to verify
this account of his experience with DR..
Williams Pink Pills.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to fe
males. such as suppressions, irregularities
and all forms of weakness. They bul.d uI
the blood, and restore the glow of healtf
to pale and sallow cheeks. Pink Pills are
sold In boxes at 80 cents a box D. six boxes

trans of the Hudson Is1Ver railway weighs only G2 tons. That Asiatio mountain slide, therefore caused an ava lanche equivalent to the tumble of about 13, GOO, 900 such locomotives off a bridge 10000 feet high. Little wonder that "the noise was terrific" and that "the natives were frightened. ' Masses of rock were hurled mile away, and many blocks of dolomitic limestone, weighing from 30 to 90 tons, were sent like cannon balls through the air. .
 In 1881, in the Alps, there was an immense hill fall, caused by its human undermining in order to obtain slate for school use The mining began ill 1868. In 1876 the Plattenberkoph split across its crown, and after progressive enlarge ments for years, which caused comment and forebodings, it fell in the year named. This catastrophe precipitated about 12, GOO, 900 cubic yards of rock 1,475 feet downward into the valley. The debris ricochetted across the valley and rolled 325 feet up the opposite slope, where it was canted over sideways, and then poured like liquid over horizon tai plane of about 9, TOO, 900 square feet and to depth of from 35 to 70 feet

CT, and the panic stricken ants or be-
 draggled beetles gro caught il their miniature world and routed as men ara on larger scale. Ten feet square of back yard may illustrate the succession of events which make seas shallower and mountains lower. The surcharged warm cloud gets a chill as it caresses the head of sone dignified peak the sudden condensation upsets the shower out of the atmcsphero's myriad cell buckets,
 and the torrent rushos down the breasts and limbs of the mountains so swiftly that the surprised soil catches the spirit of panic and forgets to obey grayitation until 1t finds itself at sea and almost out of sight of shore. That transfer of earth leaves the hills thinner and deposits that which makes the river or bay or sea somewhat less deep. People live in the lowlands near their grain and fruits,
 and these thrive on the alluvium wash ed down by torrents and flood. That theft of matter makes the mountains bareheaded and puts the valley under obligation to the storms which feed the crops with plant nutriment stolen from above. Like man, the harvests lift their eyes to the hills, whence their help comes. The mountains are being carried

 The forces of nature and the elements in battle like tho gospel, are levelers They bring down the mighty and lift up the lowly. One of these days the earth must be resnryeyed. The aspirations of the hills will have been reduced; the depths of tho rivers, bays and oceans will be less. Mon who journey by water may return to the plans and proportions that best suited those who built the ark, and they may see that Noah knew some thing about shipbuilding, notwithstand- ing our Americans Auranias and Cam panias. David may have had a thought of all this when he said, ''The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord. ' Isaiah wrote, "The mountains flowed down at thy presence. :" Ezekiel said, "The mountain shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall. !" If those Alpine dwellers at Elm read their Bibles, they must have thought of these passages after they recovered from their surprise. Northwestern Christian Advocate.

One home was left on the very verge, of which the doors were open, the fire burned, the table was set, the coffee was hot, but no liy- ing soul was left. The head of the household was saved, but his entire fam fly, who were out looking at the noun tain fall, were lost. The debris damned up river, for which channel was blasted afresh. New soil was carried in- to the valley, and spread over the ruins where harvests now smile again, and the people go about their work as if there were no such thing as an ava lanche in this humbling and crumbiing world.
 The process of change in earth levels in all lands is illustrated in your un- paved back yard or village street after heavy rains.

Hideous Animals In Death Valley.

Many, many years ago Montesquieu, the great French philosopher, emphasized the influence of climate upon human nature. The effect of nature itself upon animal life has been most strikingly re- vealed by Special Agent H. B. Martin of the United States land office, who has just returned from perilous trip through the Death valley" in Nevada. His report pictures this weird, unfinish- ed spot of creation as region of hor TOTS. Even the fauna are uncanny and in almost diabolical accord with the in ferno nature of this vast realm of sand and salt.
 That hideous and loathsome reptile, the Gila monster, fourishes ill this fit retreat Lizards, rattlesnakes, huge scorpions and tarantulas and toads, all abnormally venomous, writhe and hop across the heated waste, but they are nothing i'll comparison to kangaroolike rats and mice that feed on scorpions. One of these curious mice is known as the grasshopper mousse from his curious leaping, and his chief delicacy is a wriggling centiped.
