INVENTOR OF LEAD Pipe
The Interesting Life Of Robert seydel
of Milton.

The Interesting Life Of Robert seydell
of Milton.
There was born In Milton, Pa. in
1900 a man Of wonderful genius, 1t Is
said. His name was Robert Seydell.
and he died In 1s47. Mr.. Seydell was
coppersmith and was almost contInu-
ously working out some device connect
ed with the machinery in his factory.
To him, II is related by some of the
oldest citizens Of this place, belongs the
discovery OF the process OF making
lead pipe, and like many other inven-
tors. the idea Of making the same was
stolen from him and further developed
to It's present form Of manufacture.
1t was In the latter part Of the thir-
ties that the idea suggested itself to
him, and the following is the way he
wrought II out: He first took slug,
or casting Of lead. placing It on man.
del, or rod Of steel, about sixteen feet
long and one inch In diameter; the
mandel was highly polished and upon
this he drew or rolled out the lead to
the full strength Of the rod, thus CIV
ing him an inch bore, and the material
was rolled, 1t is said, to one-fourth
inch, making a total diameter Of one
and one-half inches for the pipe. After
completing several sections of the
length fthe mandel, he soldered them
together. making the pipe Of whatever
length he desired.
He put 1t to practical use by fasten-
ing It to pump heads and also running
II from springs to connect watering
troughs and spring houses In the coun'
try round about here. Being greatly
pleased with his discovery, and receiv'
ing the most fattering OF comments
from his friends and nelghbors In this
section, he concluded to make his In
vention more widely known, and hence
made a visit to Philadelphia, taking hii
device with him.
At the Franklin Institute In that cit,
he gave his first exhibition to quite {
, number Of inventors, artisans and me
chanics. As 1t Is now related, al
/ who witnessed II were more than de
: lighted, and so expressed themselves II
his immediate presence.
: 1t was not long that he was allowe'
to remain In n condition Of suprem
e happiness over his invention, for
short time after he made disclosure o
e his discovery, and while yet in Phila
delphia, he found out that by the yer,
persons to whom he had given an ex
!. hibition of the process OF making lea
pipe his idea had been used and in
y proved upon.-Philadelpha Press.

They are filed with rags. vermin and

no fireplace or chimney. All the cook

out in the middle Of the floor. In these
houses men and women and children
are huddled together. During the long
winter months they are shut In for
days at time, the cattle often sharing
their quarters. Every aperture has to
be closed on account Of the cold. This
long imprisonment Is perhaps the cause
of the degradation of the people. Horri-
BILE diseases result from it, which arc
aggravated by an abnormal consump-
ton Of arrack, the strong distilled drink
Of the Asiatics. Besides this. it is an

If Severe They Are More Serious than
Simple DisIoeations.
1t Is commonly said that a sprained
Joint is worse than broken bone, and
this is often true. for in a severe sprain
the injury Is really greater than in a
simple fracture. The ankle Is perhaps
the most frequently sprained Of all the
Joints, though the knee, elbow and
wrist are also very liable to be injured,
In falls especially.
A sprain of a joint varies greatly in
severity: II may consist OF a simple
wrench, without the tearing Of any of
the ligaments, or * may be a more ex-
teDsive injury, stopping Just short of
a dislocation.
more of the ligaments of the joint viii
be torn slightly. or possibly completely
across; the membrane beneath the liga-
ments. which retains the lubricating
fluid of the joint, win be ruptured, per
| hitting the escape Of more or less OF
this fluid into the parts about, and CIV
ing rise sometimes to a considerable
swelling; this swelling may be In
creased also by an effuslon of fluid into
the joint, especially II Inflammation sets
in; and finally there Is usually slight,
or even sometimes quite pronounced,
escape of blood into the tissues, and
this, gradually working TO the surface
appears as a black-and-blue stain.
In more severe cases thetendons pass
ing over the joint and attaching thu
muscles which move 1t to the bones may
suffer considerable damage, or one Of
them may be broken or torn from Its
attachment, bringing with II silver Of
bone. Where so much harm has beer
done 10 all the parts-bones, llgaments
tendons and muscles-it is easy to un
derstand that much pain VIII result
and that the cure will be tedious.
In the treatment of sprain the frs
thing to be aimed at is to relieve pail
and prevent Inflammation, then to ia
vor healing of the torn structures, ana
after that to restore the use OF tn,
. limb.

Birth Rate of Males and Females.

Birth Rate OF Males and Females.
Nature seems to be able to regulate
the births Of males and females with
out the help Of German savants. 1t
may be remembered that Buckle found
that the average birth rate the world
over was 81 boys to 20 girls, thus CIV
ing every Jill a chance for Jack, at
ter allowing for the greater death rate
among males. The Springfield Repub-
lican Is authority for the assertion
that In Massachusetts for forty years
the male birth rate relative to the fe-
male has not notceably changed, the
number Of male births to each 1000 fe-
male births In the last twenty years
being 1858 as compared with 1853 for
the preceding twenty years. In Europe
observations covering ten years indi-
cate an average Of 1000 males born
