A very ingenious machine for auto
matically driving tacks or nails, says
the Providence Journal, has been con-
trived by Charles D. Rogers Of that city.
The machine has u reservoir for tacks,
and the first effect Of depressing the
handle is to move u bar endwise, vibrate
the agitator and shake the tacks to in
sure the sliding Of the foremost tacks
into fractional engagement with the side
Of the descending driver after the sepa-
rator pin has been retracted. At the in
slant the reservoir commences to be
forced downward tho point part Of the
cut off lever automatically drops from
its proximity to the tacks. The retrac-
ton of the pin from contact with the
row Of tacks occurs when the beveled
end of the driver holder In its downward
movement engages the lower dog OF the
cut off lever, while at the same time the
row Of lacks advances and is held in
check by the driver, which is being
forced downward to it's limit, thus en-
gaging the standing tack and driving it
into the leather beneath, the jaws hold
ing the tack in position springing apart
to permit its passing through. Upon re-
moving the pressure spring returns the
driver to normal position, and while 1t
is returning the tacks in the runway are
again agitated and the point Of the cut
off pin introduced between the first and
second tacks ON the runway by the ac-
ton Of the lever, just before the compile.
ton of the drivers return stroke. A lug
secured to tho reservoir connection comes
in contact with the stop of a rod, thus
lifting the latter and elevating blade
into the rear side Of the point part Of the
forward tack, and as the driver finishes
the upward stroke the blade defects the
forward into the driver chamber, where
it Is arrested by the spring jaws.

This was one of the questions ask
ed Of a certain class during eXamina-
ton week and simple as the question
appears to be, none could answer it.
In the emergency, the principal was
applied to for solution, and he also,
with good natuIed smile, gave it up
when one of the teachers, determined
not to be beaten by SO simple ques-
ton, hit on the idea of sending out a
delegation of boys to scour the neigh :
borhood for cat. When this idea
WAS announced the whole class want
ed to join 10 the hunt. Several boys
went out and soon returned success
full. A returning board was at once
appointed and the toes counted, when.
10 the relief of all, it was learned
that cat possesses eighteen toes, ten
on the front feet and eight on the
hind feet.-Our Dumb Animals.

A general business revival seems
to be in progress throughout the coun-
try. Bradstreet of Saturday says:
The feature of the week is the con-
tinued strength of prices of staples
after the striking advances of preced-
ing weeks. There is a firmer under
tone to nearly all lines of trade, but
at a number of points gains in indus
trials are not more marked than in
commercial lines. The furry in pc
troleum is succeeded by very dull
market.

number of strikes for higher wages
are paid eastern mill operatives. The
number of strikes for higher wages
increase in those cities. About 25.-
600 people have struck in April, most
OF them for an advance. The num-
Der of voluntary advance in wages re-
ported is large. During the past two
weeks the wages of $4,000 operatives
have been advanced without strikes.
AS most of those struck received high
er wages, fully 1000 industrial oper-
atives appear to have had their wages
advanced since the beginning of
April.

ry, barefooted lot would be hard to
equal. They tell pitiable tale of
desertion. The water at the colony
was vile and it killed good many
with species of malaria and swell
ling of the limbs. The death rate
averaged five a week and they
claim nearly 100 died there, prin-
cipally owing to the water and
lack Of medical attention and
many are said to have died crying
for food. They were received with
sympathy by the population Of
Torreon and the sick were attended
to and the hungry fed.
1t lie estimated that there are
about 100 more at Tahuinilo and
25 at Mapima station awaiting
