KNOTS TIED BY MACHINERY.

If inventions continue to multiply at
the present rate, the day may speedily
come when man will have to sit with
folded arms while his work and even
his pleasures are turned out for him.
Science has lately given us a marvel
in the shape of a card-cOunting ma
chine. Two of these most interesting
automata now working are used for
counting and tying postal cards into
small bundles. Two of the machines
are capable of counting 100000 cards in
10 hours and wrapping and tying the
same in packages of 25 each. In this
operation the paper is pulled off
drum by two long fingers" which
come up from below, and another fin
ger dips in vat of gum and applies it
self to the wrapping paper in exactly
the right spot. Other parts of the ma
chine Irvine the paper around the pack
of cards, and then thumb" presses
over the spot where the gum is, and
the package, tied with the paper slip,
is thrown upon carry belt ready for
delivery.-Popular Science News.

CHINESE CHEAP LABOR" IN
AMERICA.

OF late years there has been a con-
slant cry against Chinese cheap la
bor." Whatever may have been the
price put upon Chinese labor when the
great railways of the west were built
by these people, today it is evident to
all who have studied the question that
there is no such thing as Chinese
cheap labor" Chinese laundries charge
higher rates than domestic laundries.
Chinese laundrymen command higher
prices than laundresses of other ma
tionalities. A Chinaman earns ordi-
narily from eight to fifteen dollars
week and his board and lodging. The
white or colored laundress makes from
four to ten dollars a week, without
board or lodging. The Chinaman
works from o'clock at night. Some
times he washes, sometimes he
starches, sometimes he irons; but he
is always at it, not tireless, but per-
servering in spite of WEAKNESS and ex-
haustion. Other laborers clamor for
working day of eight hours. The
Chinaman patiently works seventeen,
takes care of his relatives in China,
looks after his own poor in America,
and pays his bills as he goes along.
In the Chinese store ten dollars per
week is the lowest sum paid for
man all-work In a Chinese restau-
rant the lowest wage paid to kitchen
boy is twenty dollars per month and
board. Chinese cooks will not go to
American families for less than forty
dollars per month, and they rarely ever
stay for that sum. This, then, is
Chinese cheap labor-a cheap labor of
which ordinary people cannot avail

GROWING CAMPHOR TREES.

Owing to the widespread use of cam
phor in the arts and in medicine, its
increasing scarcity and expensiveness
have raised the problem of the artifi-
cial cultivation of the trees from which
it is obtained. There are a number of
trees, many of them widely separated
in genus, order or species, from which
camphor is obtained. The tree which
produces most of the camphOr of com
merce, is the Cinnamomum camphOr,
member of the laurel family, belong
ing to the same genus as the CHINA
mon tree. The bulk of the camphor
imported into Europe comes from ia
pan and Formosa, and a small amount
from China, although the trees are
very abundant in the latter country,
and the wool is much used. Every
part of the tree is said to be useful,
even the fruit being employed in the
PREPARATION of tallOW. Camphor is
used for the conversion of collodion
cotton into celluloid, and in combina-
ton with various ill-smelling COM
pounds is the basis of most moth
powders.-EX.

SHIPPERS INDICTED.
Prominent Western Packers Charged
with Underbilling.

CHICAGO, Oct. H.-Some time ago Su-
perintendent George L. Carman, of the
Western Railway Weighing Association
and Inspection Bureau, had filed complaint
with the Interstate-cornmerce Commission
charging two prominent Western packers
with violation of the interstate-commerce
law. To-day information was received to
the effect that indictments had been re-
turned by the federal grand jury at Wich-
tia. Kan, against the following:
WILLIAM J. REID and ROBERT REID,
of Reid Bros Packing Company. Limited.
r. manager and part owner
also interested i'll the Kingan Packing
Company, OF Indianapolis
JOHN SINCLAIR. of New York, inter-
es Tad n the PssEi1g f9m aponGdent,s, clerk
SAMUEL REID, another member OF the
firm.
The charge is underbilling. For instance.
it is claimed that in most instances there
were 10, 900 to IL, 0o0 pounds of poultry billed
out as salt meat on the basis of so cents
a hundred pounds from Kansas City to
New York, when the rate should have been
on an average of SIPS a hundred pounds,
causing a net loss to the railroads of from
$50 to $50 a car. The amount involved is
said to be quite large.
Mr.. Samuel Reid was seen early this
morning IN regard to the above dispatch.
He said neither he nor Mr.. Sinclair knew
anything about the alleged undertaking.
and that when Mr.. Carman visited this
city recently that gentleman was informed
that if Mr.. Reds firm owed anything Tor
overweight it would be promptly paid on
presentation of the bill. 1t has been ru-

nocent men have been indicted.

CUBAN ARTILLERY.
How Gen. Callazo's Cannon DcmO1-
ished a Spanish Fort.

TAMPA Fla, Oct. 1.-THE family Of
General Callazo has received a letter from
him in which he notes considerable i'm
provement in the artillery work of the
Cubans. His letter says: Our previous
experience with artillery has not been very
flattering because at Zania, Sagua de Tan
amo and Laytento de Casanova the artil-
lery had not done effective work and the
Spanish forts which they attacked re-
manned standing after quite a seige."
He then describes an attack on the Span
ish fort Lomade Hero, near the town of
Auras, against which the Cubans planted
their cannon from rising ground about
four hundred meters distant. He says: 1T
was the first time in this campaign that
a field piece had been given my
and 1 was very nervous for having heard
of the former experiences with these pieces
l was afraid of failure, for the cannon l
have is very small, although 1 calculated
more on it's penetrative force. On the con-
trary, General Calixto Garcia had every
to tell me to keep up the fire as long
as we had a shot left. We fired twenty
eight shots into the fertilization and then
we saw the Spanish soldiers hurriedly
abandon the fort. We captured in the fort
forty thousand cartridges, provisions,
soldiers. a short time afterwards the fort
was completely demolished and burned
down by cur forces. Another expedition
has arrived and our situation is improving
day by day. We have arms and ammuni-
ton and should the Spanish attempt the
winter campaign they will find us stronger
and with the moral conviction of a brief
struggle and sure triumph"

HEAVY BETTING.
Mysterious Man at Denver Who Has
AstOnished the Bryan hackers.

DENVER, Col, Oct. III. L.. Tankard.
a tall horid-faced man, is a familiar figure
at the Brown Palace Hotel nowadays and
makes himself conspicuous by the manner
in which he is placing money on Mckinley.
1t is no trouble to get a bet with him, and
there is lots of money to be had in Colorado
when odds are given. That is exactly what
Mr.. Tankard is doing, giving odds. He has
been about town for a week or SO. and
chips in with every crowd where it is pos
sible. If he hears that SO and so wants to
bet on Bryan he Immediately looks up the
man, and proceeds to invest to the extent
of the other fellows pile. Tankard is said
to be in communication with Mr.. Hanna.
who assures him that the bets are safe.
A week ago he was giving odds of 5 to / on
Mckinley, or anything better that he could
get. To-day he offered 8 to 2 that McKin-
ley would carry every State north of the
Ohio line, and everything east of the Mis-
souri, river.
1t is said by those about the hotel that
this man must have. placed at least $780,
600 VI to last Saturday night. He simply
knocks everything off the perch in the bet
ting line that ever struck Denver. and if
Mckinley is elected will make a strike that
is better than a dividend-paying gold mine.
