Machine Shops Can Be Run More
Economically without Them.
A few years ago the building of a
machine shop without chimney would
have been looked upon as the act Of an
idiot. Now it may be the wisest thing
builder can do, for the large fan
which is taking the place of the chin
ney costs a great deal less than the lofty
stack, and does its work much better
Besides this there is great saving in
fuel
In one plant where this experiment
was tried there were three boilers, ag-
gregating 260 horsepower. and directly
above them was mounted fan connect
ed direct with 5 by 4 double cylinder
engine The wheel of the fan was "a
inches in diameter, and as it could be
run at any speed, it provided a draft
quite independent of the fire. 1t was
possible to use much cheaper grade Of
coal and the saving thus effected was
quite appreeiabe
For instance, with the ordinary form
of chimney the shop would use 1924
tons of Cumberland coal, at $3. 65, ag-
gregating $5, 929 a year Using the
blower, mixture Of Cumberland coal
and yard screenings. half aud half,
would suffice This. at So. S51s. would
amount to $4, 995. showing difference
of 1884. The cost of operating the ian
was placed at s1S3 per annum, SO that
the net gain was $751;, sum greater
than the entire cost of the mechanical
draft apparatus. Louis Globe Dem

The salt mines of WieIiezka, near
Craoow, Poland, were mentioned in
l044, and have been worked since 1910.
The first map of the mines was made in

mine surveyor. The eight shafts now in
existence are from 207 to 9S5 feet deep,
and the length of the levels now open
is 345, 600 feet. with lis, 800 feet of
underground tram lines. Between 1872
and 1892 about 5000 900 cubic yards
have been exeavated of salt. Machine

LincoIn's Reception of the NotiHca
tion Committee.


In the Biography of Charles Garlic
ton Coffin" is his own account of ac-
companying the committee to the home
of Mr.. Lincoln in Springfield, Ills, to
notify him Of his nomination for presi-
dent. They reached Springfield early in
the evening, and after supper at the
hotel made their call on Lincoln. It
was not to be very formal interview.
Lincoln stood in the parlor, dressed
in black frock coat The announce
ment was made, and his reply seemed
brief. He was evidently much con-
strained, but as soon as the last word
had been spoken he turned to Mr. Kel-
ley of Pennsylvania, the chairman of
the committee. and said: Judge, you
are a pretty tall man. How tall are
you?''

Pennsylvania bows to Illinois, where,
we have been told, there were only lit
tie giants, said Kelley
This was an aHusion to Douglas, who
had been called the Little Giant.
One by one the members of the COM
mittee were introduced to Lincoln, and
when the handshaking was over he
said:
Gentlemen. Mrs Lincoln will be
pleased to see you in the adjoining
room, where yon will find some refresh
ments. =
There Mrs. Lincoln met them pleas
antly, but the only visible sign of re-
freshments was white earthen pitcher
filled with ice water This was possibly
Mr.. Lincoln's s little joke, for it was
afterward ascertained that his Repub-
liean neighbors had offered to furnish
wines and liquors, which be refused to
have in his house. and that his Demo
cratic friends had sent round baskets Of

IN PEACE.

a tracAs Of moonlight on a quiet lake
Whose small waves on silver sanded shore
Whisper of peace and with The low winds make
Such harnonies as keep the woods awake
AND listening all night long for their sweet
sake,
A green laved slope of meadow, lowered Ger
By angel troops Of lilies, swaying light
On viewless stems, with folded wings of white,
A siumberous stretch Of mountain land, faI
seen
Where the low westering day, with gold and
green,
Purple and amber, softly blended, fills
The wooded wales and melts among the hills;
A vine fringed river, winding to its rest
On the calm bosom of stormless sea,
Bearing alike upon its placid breast,
With earthly flowers and heavenly stars i'm
pressed,
The hues of time and of eternity.

PRODUCTIVE FORCES BUSY.
Contracts Garry Possible PrOduc-
tlons Far Into the New Year.
ACTUAL DEMAND THE CAUSE.

New York, Dec, 1.-THE approach
OF new year usually brings 80 nauch
OF hesitation in business that the small
shrinkage this year Is surprising
Probably never before have the pro.
ductive forces Of the country been 80
largely covered by contracts at this
date insuring employment and profit
far into the coming year, This results
pot from any mere speculative excite
ment but from actual demands for con-
sumption running far beyond the pro,
ducing capacity heretofore and push
ing IL to remarkable expansion, The
increase In foreign trade has been in
significant compared with the increase
OF s@l,OOO,0OO 600 in payments through
clearing houses, For the week the pay.
ments have been 2O,3 per cent larger
than last year and 49,, per cent larger
than In 1909.
Hides are again stronger ut Chicago,
although receipts Of cattle at the four
chiefwestern markets in eleven months
have been per cent larger than in the
previous year as the demand for con-
sumption In manufacture has evidently
increased much more, Thus western
production Of boots and shoes has gain
ed more than eastern, yet shipments
from Boston for the year have been
872, 900 cases.
The demand for cotton goods Is heavy
and covers production far ahead in
many lines, while fears of important
strikes have been dispelled by gem
oral advance in wages,
The strength Of wool is apparently
1nimpaired, though demand il quieter.
London prices have again moved high
sr and the small available supply Of
ine grades supports the belief that

that the committee was considering
whether 1t should go to Utah or have
the witnesses come here, and that no
decision had been reached. Mr..

his protests, said, after the meeting:
When the consideration of the case
of Mr.. Roberts was resumed this morn
ing, Mr.. Roberts was asked II he con-
ceded the existence of the court record
wherein he pleaded guilty in 1889 un-
der the Edmunds-Tuclser law. This
he conceded. He was next asked
whether, about 1887, or since 1890, he
married plural wives and had lived
with them since that time as wives.
To the whole of this charge Roberts
pleaded not guilty, and then demurred
to the jurisdiction Of the committee.

claring the charges from the terminals

that the defendants only imposed extra
