Increased Strength OF China.

A German engineer has brought for.
ward n new method of constructing
chains so as to eliminate the weakness
due to faulty material or construction,
which sometimes occurs in chains made
Of solid metal. The method consists in
winding wire into links and binding the
turns of wire by dipping in bath Of
liquid zinc or other noncorrosive
material. The wired links may also be
stiffened by being wound on an internal
steel lining adopted to receive the wrap
pings of wire. 1t is claimed that chains
made by this method provide equal
strength with less waste Of metal.

partly to the encroachments of the sea.

Power of IMAGINATION.

Everyone knows that the imagination
Is frequently used by physicians in
effecting cures Of patients who are
suffering from mental and physical
disorders. The most successful prac-
titioner is he who possesses the faculty
of inspiring confidence In himself to
begin with and then in the treatment
he advises. A recent number Of psy-

the comfort of the village and rural
home is enhanced.
Most Of the homemade mills are
found in the Platte Valley, from Oma-
Ia to Denver, and in the lesser river
courses which branch out from this val
ley. Columbus, Grand Island, Kear-
ney. Overton, Cozad. Lexington, Goth
enburg, Ogallala and intermediate
towns are centers for these mills as
well as for other kinds of water filters.
The favorite form in Eastern Nebraska
Is the Jumbo, or the go Devil" which
latter name probably is a contraction
Of ke-the-Devil." In Central
and Western Nebraska the prevailing
type is called the Battleax Mill. Both
kinds do far more than pump water.
They run the grlndstone. the churn,
the feed grinder, the corn shelter and
wood saw and other farm machinery.
All this work is done by machine that
costs labor included. from 81 to So. OF
course the time is put in when there Is
nothing else more pressing to be done,
for If the time were to be taken out Of
important work the result hardly
would pay. While the average cost is
placed as low as 81 or 50, below which
the minimum. ii would seem. scarcely
could go. the maximum that has been
put into the construction of such mills
sometimes is as much as $3.50. A mill

One OF the most ingenious mills In the

Those who denounce them, denounce
they are not logical enough to see it..
The only alternative to free market
is state regulation Of wages and con-
ditions of labor. This alternative the
capitalistic editors certainly do not
want. They claim to believe in free
competition and free contract, and they
assert that we have this freedom today
(Which is false assertion, by the Way).
Yet when organized labor acts, upon
the principle of free contract and fixes
the terms Of it's employment these
pseudo advocates of freedom accuse it
of conspiracy, and of un- American, out
rageous practices. And such farrago
of sophistry and nonsense as the wig

How the penny-a- liners of the press
must have gnashed their teeth in cha

learned that the officers of both the

the conditions above contended for, but
also for an increase in wage and a
gradual reduction in the hours Of labor.
Thus not only the logic of the conten-
tion but also the logic of events abide

All the sessions Of the convention of

hind closed doors. Thus it has been
impossible for the Detroit papers to

about the insurance feature of the Or

grand lodge direct or by an outside

Each delegate attending the convention
has been instructed by, his lodge to
speak his little piece for the lodge be-
fore the convention. When the roll is
called every representative is expected
to say something. This is incorporated
in the minutes and sent out to all the

ana to the nerve and big heartedness
OF captain Arthur he owes his rescue.
The ship was bound from Cardiff to
Santa Rosalia, and was in the tropics
at the time. The apprentice was for
ward fishing, when tug on his line
or a lurch of the ship carried him over
board. A life buoy was thrown after
him and the ship was hove to in short
order A, boat was lowered, and for
three hours the crew searched in vain
for the young sailor. Then they re-
turned to the ship without having seen
any signs Of the boy or the life pre-
server ---f.- - Is. +; 49, -ss<
But Captain Arthur had not given up
the search by any means. He figured
out that if the buoy could not be found
young Warner must have reached 1t.
Then the captain realized that the
wind had been carrying the vessel to
leeward, while the boy would remain
almost stationary. For eleven hours
the Barfillan kept tackingl and retack-
ing where the captain supposed the
missing boy to be. NJ At length, when
darkness was setting on the vessel the
lookout sighted Warner with the life
buoy about him. The. lad was picked
up more dead than alive, but two days
later he was as lively as ever. Cap
