TACKS.
Made In Great Variety and For Many DIFF
ferent Uses.

Made In Great Variety and For Many DIFF
ferent Uses.
The best taells are made of imported
Swedish iron. the next grade of Ameri-
can soft steel and the cheapest of COM
mon American iron. Taeks are also
made of copper. Some tacks are timed,
and for ship use tacks are galvanized.
Tacks are made of sizes ranging from
q half ounce to "a ounces. The tack com
monty used as carpet tack is an eight
ounce tack. A "a ounce tack is about
l IA inch in length.
There are many kinds of tacks, made
for great variety of uses and they are
put up in many different forms. There
are gimp tacks, looking glass tacks, up
holsterer's tacks, trunk tacks, lace
tacks, basket tacks, brush tacl1s, coffin
tacks, shank tacks. lasting tacks, min
er's tacks cheesebox tacks and tacks for
many other uses. Within the past dozen
years the sale Of double pointed tacks
has increased tenfold with the greatly
increased use of electrical wires. Dou-
BILE pointed tacl1s are also used for tack
ing down straw mating and for other
purposes.
Tacks that are sold in papers are put
up in full weights, half weights, and
quarter weights, the weight indicating
the size of the package. Almost all
kinds Of tacks are also sold i'll bulk in
% pound and 90 pound boxes and in
100 pound kegs.
A one ounce tack machine will make
in day about 100, 600 lacks altogether
The iron is fed into the machine i'll a
plate which is of width little great
er than the length Of the finished tack,
SO as to allow of material to be upset
for the head. An eight ounce machine
will make about 200 pounds of tacks
day, $50 to the pound, about $50, 900
tacks. Tacks that are put up in papers
are weighed ont and the papers filled
by hand. Comparatively few tacks are
put up nowadays i'll tied up papers.
They are put up mostly i'll little paste
board boxes. These boxes are packed in
larger boxes and III turn in cases for
shipment. A common tack package is
case weighing about 100 pounds
The annual tack product of the coun
try is estimated ut about 90, 900 tons.
If these tacks were all put up in papers
of the usual assortments of sizes and
weights, the papers would number about
800, 900, 900, on something more than
four papers per capita of the population.

Rapid Photography.

Professor Il Machc Of Prague is cred
tied with sorlc remarkable achievements
in the line If rapid photography. Thus
the flight Of n projcetilc has been fas-
tened on sensitive plate. The exposure
being estimated at probably about one
thousandth Ct second. In taking this
picture Professor Machc succeeded not
only in showing the projoctile proper
upon the negative, bat he also shows the
air currents, and the condensing Of
photograph, it is thought, might explain
the luminous tail on comets and on
meteors, which are presumably projec-
tiles hurled through infinite space upon
q larger scale. Another Of these photo
graphic achievements is air occasioned
by the flight cf aleaden ball. Its current
of air is diverted to all sides at an angle
of about 40 degrees to the axis Of the
projectile, and the whirlwind III its
wake shows particles Of dust and other
atoms carried in the atmosphere, driven
with an energetic motion in the road
which the projectile has just left, and
following it with almost the same rapid

A Patent FlYcntcher.

A machine for catching flies off the
backs OF cattle, and so affording the ami
mails relief and comfort, has been in
vented by farmer in Madison county,
Ky. The fiycatcher is kind of covered
pen or passageway through which the
animal must walk to secure relief. A
few feet from the entrance there is
cupola or dome in the roof Of the pas
sageway, made of glass and arranged
as u hytrap. Beyond this the passage
is darkness. The animal walks through
the machine, and just as it passes under
the dome and enters the darkened part
set of brushes sweeps off the flies,
which naturally rise into the. lighted
dome, and the steer passes out at the
other side free of flies. The flies are
retained in the dome trap. The in
ventor has experimental with his ma
chine and finds that the animals soon
learn the value Of the machine and
know enough to walk through it when
the flies begin to bite. The device he's
been patented.

An artist should consider facts about
the masters of his profession calmly and
thoughtfully. He may reach valuable
conclusions about himself. A certain
musical composer of much talent and
popularity--we will call him Smithkinf
has happy appreciation Of his own
work, as his friends all know.
So highly does he estimate Smithkin'f
compositions that some Ct his friends
were much startled the other day when
he said gravely, "Did you ever notice

HOW TREATIES ARE MADE.

The Initiative, In Negotiations With For
eign Powers. Is with the President.
''The treaty making power is given
to the president, in connection with the
senate, by the constitution, writes
General Harrison in his "This Country
of Ours" article i'll Ladies Home Jour-
nal 1.-The initiative-the negotiations
with foreign governments leading up to
an agreement, and the framing of the
articles of the treaty-is with the exec
utive. The senate has no part in the
matter until the president commune
Gates the treaty to it and asks its con-
currence. 1t may then, however, either
concur or reject, or concur with amend
ments. When the executive has agreed
with any foreign power upon treaty.
and it has been duly signed by the plen-
ipotentiaries for their respective govern
ments, it is sent to the senate for its
concurrence, and is considered there i'll
secret session. Whatever may be said
as to the wisdom or necessity of secret
sessions for other purposes, it is mani
testify necessary that the terms of treat
les and the discussion of them should
in many cases be kept in the confidence
of those charged with concluding them
until they are concluded.
Though all the attempts in the con-
stitutional convention to give the house
of representatives part in the making
of treaties failed, it is still true that
many important treaty stipulations de-
pend for their execution upon the action
of the house If treaty stipulates for
the payment of money by the United
States the money cannot be taken from
the treasury without an appropriation.
1t may be said that as treaty is part
of the supreme law of the land, it is
the duty of congress to appropriate the
money necessary to carry it into effect,
and that in the making of the appropri-
alton tho house has no right to consider
the question of the value or propriety
of the treaty. But, all the same, if the
appropriation is not made the treaty
fails Usually appropriations to carry
out treaty have been given freely by
the house, but there is power to with
hold them, and so to defeat the treaty.
AS to treaties involving our revenue
laws, the house-haying by the consti-
tuition the sole power to originate rev.
enue bills--has claimed the right to act
upon a consideration Of the wisdom or
unwisdom of the treaty"

Roll down, river, to the sea
And widen in your onward race!

Whilst others sew for him and reap
And tend his floeleS ON moor and fen.

The strife of living makes us men.

Republican pluralities were much
smaller, Fletcher winning in the Fifth
district by 1887, Eddy in the Seventh
by 2,111 and Norris in the Sixth by
707. The contest in the Sixth was d
remarkable one and the number of
votes cast was about $4,000 The vote
indicates that the Third and Fourth
