BOWIE's GREAT KNIFE.--The
bowie knife obtains it's name from
Rein p. Bowie, who lived in Mary
land in the early part of this CEN
tury. He had brother who had
many enemies, and he, being turbu-
lent and fond Of hand to hand fights,
stood in need of good weapons.
ReZin undertook to furnish him with
weapon somewhat superior to any
that could be found in those parts at
that period. A knife was made out
OF blacksmith's file, and blade
was had nine inches long, to which
was fastened handle of six inches.
The knife was simple, strong in build
and had an admirable temper
Bowie used ii in 10 sanguinary con-
tests and then, happening in Phila-
delphia he met with cutler who
fashioned it over for him. Bowie
atterward settled in Mississippi, and
entertained the celebrated actor, Ed
win Forest, to whom he gave the
original knife. Forest placed the
Knife in his collection, where he re-
tained it until his death.

The brain of mankind has been de-
fined as kind of photographic cylin-
der, which retains impressions made
upon it through the medium of the
senses, particularly through the eyes
and ears. If this be true, memory
must depend for its intensity or re-
ten tive qualities upon the degree OF
observation with which the record is
made. Nor is this all If memory's
record is kept in shape of identations
upon the folds Of brain matter, are
they ever entirely effaced' In other
words, do we ever really forget any
thing? May it not be that in the in
ncr depths of the brain memory has
stored up recollectious ofthings which
we are never again purposely turned
to, perhaps, but which Instantly
spring into being and flash through
the mind whenever we hear or see
something which recalls them9
There are several well known men,
tai phenomena which strengthen this
theory. We know that memory often
brightens during the last moments OF
life, and there are cases on record
where Germans, French, Spaniards
and others who. upon falling sick in
this country scores OF years after hav-
ing entirely forgotten their native
languages, recovered and used them
upon their deathbeds. There is a
theory that in all such cases the brain
folds have relaxed, just as do the
muscles and cords Of the limbs and
body, and that by doing SO they ex-
pose to the minds monitor iudenta-
tons (recollections) which were long
since folded up aud put away as ma
terial that could not be of any par
ticular use. Think of these things. -

last hundred years was derived
from cheap salt, coal and sulphu-
rio acid.
These articles made the mer-
chants kings of the chemical trade
of the world. Although Germany
and France are in competition with
the English, they have been able to
take away only small part OF the
English trade.
If however. the new electrolytic
process is successful. it will create a
revolution in manufacturing. 1t
Will be possible, even in this city,
to use the cheap, solar-made salt in
the manufacture of chemical sup
plies, provided the cost OF cleo
tricity is reasonable. The absence
Of technical skill and trained labor
makes it improbable that any
scheme for the manufacture Of these
articles viii be tried here at present.
We merely suggest that the new
discoveries in the arts may, at any
time, and undoubtedly will, make
it possible to increase the lists OF
diversified industries here.
1t may be stated that, even now,
several chemical industries of
minor character could be carried
on here with profit, provided there
was enterprise enough in the people
to establish them. Thirty years
ago it was said in an industrial
convention, held in Philadelphia,
that it was, and would be, i'm
possible to produce fine silk goods
in the United States" Recently,
a trade journal stated that an i'm
porter OF japanese silks said that
when he wished to make a present
of fine silk dress goods to anyone,
he bought only American manu-
facture.

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN.

Although many women are in
clined to be erratic on the subject
of their present inequality with the
masculine gender, the last census
of the United States gives figures
which indicate that so far as earn
ing their own living is concerned,
the women. have no reason to
regard themselves as down-trodden.
a comparative table of the women
engaged in ''gainful occupations"
in 1880 and 1890 shows an increase
that is almost startling, and judg
ing from the remarks passed by
some of the more enthusiastic re-
formers it would seem that there
must be something wrong some
where. The total of working people
in 1890 was 22,735,661, of which
1S,S20,95O were males and 1914
I'll females. This is is a gain of
!, 267 ,554 women since 1880, or a
rate of increase nearly three and
One-half times as great as the in
crease of working men. During
the decade ending with 1890 the
women engaged as architects in

teachers of art, 412 to 1O,S1O;

AS pumping is one OF. the
most common uses to which
wind motors are put. the
method OF communicating
motion to the pump is very
important and has received
our closest attention, and the
defect created in most wind
mills of racking themselves to
pieces in, a severe wind has
been obviated in the Aermotor
by means of back gearing, SO
that the wheel makes about
three turns to one stroke of
the pump or enough so that
the wheel may run at its natural
speed, unrestrained in any
moderate wind, without doing
violence to the pump or its
connections. This enables us
to give the pump long stroke
instead ofthe quick, jerky, short
strokes of ordinary wind mills.
This means that the valves are
not worked SO harshly in open
ing and closing and that the
wear and tear is greatly dimin-
ished, while the piston rod
speed is increased, and corse-|
quently the pumping capacity
is increased. The back gear
ing, together with the extra
holes for crank pins in the
crank wheel also makes it pos
sible to use with the Aermotor
any ordinary size of pump
cylinder. If wind motor is
not sensitive to the direction of
the wind much of its efficiency
is lost.
The ease with which a wind .
mill faces up to the wind de-
ponds on weight of the mill,
the kind and condition of the
bearings on which it pivots and
the comparative leverage of
wheel and tail. In the matter
of leverage, the advantage en-
ioyed by the Aermotor over
common wind mills will
be made apparent by the
fact that the center of the
wheel is only twelve inches
rom the mast or center on
which it turns while that of the
best known wheel is thirty
inches, requiring as is easily
seen two and one-half times as
ong or large a tail to balance
he same sized wheel. The
AermOtOr presents one-half
he surface to the wind; it is
apparent that this other wheel
must have five times the tail
surface to make it face the
wind equally we'll thereby
greatly increasing the liability
o wreck in a storm. The
mere fact that we have placed
80 more Aermotors on the
stands is sufficient guarantee 7
If their superiority and desir-
ability by those who want a
motor that looks after itself.
