For BICYCLES and Bags.

A pretty bit of iewelry designed for
use is the puzzle lock bracelet, the
chain of which is secured by lock
formed of three revolving pieces en-
graved with figures or letters. Only
by arranging these in some particular
combination forming private code,
can the lock be opened, and as the
figures may make an immense number
of combinations, the "open sesame" is
well nigh impossible of attainment,
except by the owner. The idea of this
device is that the bracelet can be taken
off and used to chain bicycle to the
ratings while the rider is in house or
store, as fastening to a travelling bag,
and for many other purposes of the
sort. Most persons would be apt to-
suffer qualms of anxiety in leaving it
as lock to bicycle but for the
makers assurance that these bracelets,
which are made in a variety of designs,
are SO strong as to render the length
of time required for filing them
through a risk which tho bicycle thief
would not venture to incur, while it is
impossible to freak the lock or to open
it in any other way than by the
mysterious code.

The Hollow Rock OF Tonga

In the Island of Tonga, in the South
Pacific, there is singular cave, which
the poet Byron called "a chapel of the
seas" 1t is formed in a rock that is
almost surrounded by the ocean. This
rock is about sixty feet high, and
broad proportionotely.
Many years ago a boy, the son of
native chief, was chasing huge turtle,
when his game seemed to sink into
the rock. The lad watched and waited
until the tide fell, disclosing a small
opening in the rock about six feet
under low. water mark.
Diving boldly, the young hunter
entered the aperture, and, to his sur
prise, came to the surface inside the
rock. The rock was hollow, and its
interior was found afterward, when
the natives explored it with torches,
to contain many beautiful stalacites.
When attacked and followed by
enemies, the natives, who know the
secret, leave their canoes, plunge into
the water and disappear. Their foes
linger around, astonished at their
disappearance, for no person not
acquainted with !he fact would suspect
that the rock was hollow.

it with shells, which obtained in

Cultivated for Centuries.

The burdock is a valuable food in
Japan. The tender shoots are boiled
with beans, the roots are put in soup,
and the young leaves are eaten as
greens. The plant has been cultivated
for centuries, and the annual value OF
the crop is about four hundred thou
sand dollars. This will be very sur.
prising to the American farmers, who
look on the burdock as a "pesky
weed"

No Flame.

And now dynamite is fired by the
Use of water. A sensitive detonator
which ignites at the temperature of
boiling water, is placed in contact with
the charge of dynamite, and around it
is placed layer of lime, which in
turn, is surrounded by piece of lamp
wick. When the whole arrangement
is sunk to the bottom of boring, the
wick absorbs water from the surround
ing earth and conveys it to the lime
of course the lime gets hot, and heats
the detonator. And, in half a minute
after reaching bottom, the dynamite
does its work.

Novel Telephones.

On a ranch in California, it is stated,
telephone communication is estab-
lished between the various camps, and
also with the public system, by means
of barbed wire fences. Insulators are
not required. The lines are raised
over the gateways. The wire fences
will not carry as many connections as
a single wire insulated but in general
way this novel telephone is success.
It is said that similar systems are in
existence in Texas.

Another Bright Star Dimmed.

The death of Daniel w. VOORHEES,
last Saturday removes one OF the
ablest men Of the nation. Another
bright star in the galaxy OF American
statesmen Is dimIned forever. The
Sacramento Bee in speaking of his
death says: ..-e.>-.- --.-.s..-.
The death of Hon. Daniel w. Voor-
hies, who represented the State OF
Indiana for more than thirty years In
both branches of Congress-, was the
first statesman to declare on the
floor of the United States Senate for
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. For more than twenty years he
was a member OF the Senate Commit
tee on Finance and always stood for
bimetallsm. He was eloquent, able,
and a ready debater. His term ex-
pred ON the 3D. of March last and he
was succeeded by man Of opposite
politics, he being a Democrat.
When he died at his home at the
National Capital this. morning the
American Nation lost another Of those
brilliant minds for which her past has
been famous. He was peer of such
men as Blaine, Conkling and other
brilliant men who have gone before.
I, lie was 76 years of age and died OF
neuralgia of the heart
He had rounded out a long and
nseful life, and goes down to his
grave honored by his countrymen,
not alone for his qualities of mind but
for Close of his heart as well.

DECEIrFUL DEALING.

1t Will be observed tnat the 2O-
vocates Of the Dingley bin are careful
to speak Of the sugar differential as
one-ei:hth of cent a pound, or 1919
cents per 100 pounds. BY the
@ditferential" is meant the extra duty
put on refined sugar for the benefit
of the sugar trust. Refined sugar
under the present law pays IN cents
per hundred more duty than raw
sugar. But thus means In" cents
more than raw sugar Of the lowest us
well as the highest grade. This
"ditferentlal" on Int not to have been
in the bill. 1t was put there by
traitorous senators who called them
Selves Democrats cooperating with
the Republicans. On account of it
the Republicans denounced the bib
as "trnst bill" because it had cut
down the Mckinley ditferehtial only
Is per cent.
In spite Of their denunclation OF the
trust bill of 1884, they are willing to
admit that their bill contains the
same ditferential as that OF 1894.
This, however, is deception. The
ditferential Is larger in the Dngley
bill, and those who understand the
subject know it. The. tax on raw
sugar testing rs degrees by the
poiariscopc ls one cent pound, or a
dollar per IUO. The tax on refined
sugar ID Sl.S71a per LOO pounds, OF i'll
decimals, Sl.o7o. Thus refined sugar
Is taxed seven-elghths of dollar per
10U pounds more than raw sugar of
the lowest grade. Under the present
law 1t 10 only 121a cents per lUO
pounds, III addition to the Az per
cent. ad valorem ON raw sugar.
1t is true Unat the tax on raw sugar
in the DlDgley bill iB on n slllAng
scale. For each degree over rs there
is added d TAX or 3-l00 Of cent a
pound 81 that by the time we get to
100 degrees, the tax amounts to Sl.75
per 1OU pounds, and l219 cents addeu
to make the duty on refined sugar
$3.50. But this takes no account OF
the smaller lax ON sugar less than lOu
degrees. In point Of fact, If we go
back w 1880, when this sliding scale
was III use before, there was no sugar
imported testing 100 degrees, nor yet
any Ill ~ degrees. There was
small quantity at 80 degrees, but all
impor above94 were comparatively
un.m pOrlant. On the other hand,
there we're imported 35O,OUU,U0U
pounds testing 81 and 85 degrees. and
nearly 40O,U31,UO0 pounds testing 80
degrees. Below "a degrees the
qualities Imported we're Smaller, but
still considerable, extending all the
way TO and including Is degrees. The
rate liner ranged from S1.4O to SITS
per 100 pounds, the latter for sugar
testing ITO degrees, but the average
tax on the whole was about two cents
pound. or about equal to that i'm
posed on sugar at 80 degrees.
Let us apply this 81 degree test to
the diGerentials. Under the Dingley
bill sugar ut 80 degrees pays Sl.45
per 1OO pounds. Taking this as all
average aud substracting it from
S1.8719, we have 421& cents per 100 as
the true dllferential in favor OF the
trust.-Louisville Courier Journal.

this admirable preventive, which is also

neglect. Another point of Importance in
using this sterling remedy is, that it

Friday night. Mr.. J. d. Taylor lost his
gin house, grist mill, saw mill and thir-
ty bales of cotton besides half car load
of cotton seed. The fire caught from

thought that there was left a shoulder
ing spark in the gin somewhere when
the ginning was stopped before night.
There was no insurance on any of the
property lost. The cotton was mostly
the property Of farmers who had brought
it-tc the gin and had not taken 4 away.
A good portion of it was still in the
seed.
