The reply brought down the house,

the remark that when the foreigner
voted for years upon his declaration OF

went away without completing the
conditions we could not get even by
means OF suit for breach Of promise.

National Cane Shredder
CPATENTED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following Wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 5000 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
&c in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by so in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently erec-
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
ton has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases 80 per cent. has been
reached; the average being 70
to IS per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
or cane, and a large part OF IL
being hard ratoons.
~''The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"
wPlans and specifications
of these shredders may be seen

Lightning.
N. G..

AS generally understood at present, re
marks DR.. Lodge, in contribution to The
Engineering Magazine, lightning is an os-
cillatory discharge of enormous energy,
which no copper rod, however thick and
long, can really dispose of harmlessly-ex-
perimentally it can be shown, in fact, that
when a lightning discharge takes place,
even down such rod as this, sparks may
fly from it to all conductors near capable
of setting fire to any explosive compound
or gas leak which they may chance to en-
counter. He therefore recommends for the
protection of ordinary buildings the plac-
ing of wire along all the gables and down
all the corners, with perhaps few in be-
tween along any prominent features, so as
to inclose the building in sort of wire
network. Any metal serves equally well
for the conductor, conductivity being un-
important in comparison with durability.
Points or projections to the sky are useful
to take the violence of the direct flash at
its point of incidence in a cheap and con
spicuous manner, and earth connections are
desirable to save the foundation, the soil
and the pipes therein from being damaged

Do Flies Talk?

An ingenious inquirer, armed with a
microphone, or sound msgnifer, has been
listening patiently through long hours to
the curious noises made by house. flies and
reports his belief that they have language
of their own The language does not con-
sist of the buzzing sound we ordinarily
hear, which is made by the rapid vibration
of their wings in the air, but of smaller
finer and moro widely modulated series of
sounds, audible to the human ear only by
the aid of the microphone. Probably this
fly conversation is perfectly audible to the
ay ears, which, as every schoolboy knows
who has tried to move his hand slowly up
on them, are very acute, The hope is ex-
pressed that, since the heretofore inaudible
whispers Of flies have been detected and
recorded, some inventor may construct a
microphone which will enable US to make
out the language of the microbes snd SO
surprise them in the horrible secret Of their
mode Of operations. s.-Exohange.

an ordinary engine such as is used by the
hundreds about the country. He strips it
of all the weight possible, and attaches it
to the bottom of the wagon, buggy or car
riage the weight resting upon the four
wheels. A clamp fastens to the hubs,
like the clamp that fastens to the rope
from the cable Car lever, so that the starts
and stops may be gradual. the same as in
the cable Car A sprocket wheel similar
to that on a bicycle is part of this clamp,
and the crank or propeller is separate
from the axle, and may be geared up to
any desired speed. The gas engine
weighs 275 pounds, and the supply of gas
oline may be put under the seat, where it
may be drawn upon when occasion de-
mands. Mr.. Bowman estimates that n
gallon per horse power is sufficient for
ten hours run. The machine complete is
designed to cost just what u good horse
and harness is worth, and the expense of
running the vehicle is less than the cost
of feeding and shoeing horse.
The steering apparatus is ingenious.

In 1921 or 1922 Mr.. Cobb retired with a
fortune of four or five hundred thousand
dollars, besides his real estate, which was
a large sum in those days. He was very
prominent citizen; was selectman, town
treasurer, 1s0S-1S1S. representative to the
General Court eight years, and occupied
other responsible positions. He weathered
the financial storm of 1907 without fail
ing, and his reputation for integrity was
good; was a man of great dignity of man
ner and was often called by his fellow
merchants "'King Cobb" He was
prominent man in the First Parish socl :
ETY., and died in October, 1924, aged o1
years.
His wife was Mehitable Bangs, who
lived in the house several years after Mr.
Cobb's death, and died in Dorchester III
1885, aged u years. There were several
children, but probably no descendant OIL
this family is living.
