Ingenious Arrangements for Printing
on Stockings and SpooIs.

The art of printing has found, with
in recent years, a good many develop
ments of which the average well-in-
formed person knows nothing. Ma
chimes, for example, have been patent
ed for printing On matches. The
matches are thrown into a hopper,
WhereupOn a revolving wheel receives
them one by one in it's teeth and car
ries them beneath the instrument that
other contrivance prints upon gun
wads data which inform the sports
man, when he looks into the end of
each cartridge, how much powder it
contains and what is the size Of the
shot.
The printing on stockings, which
includes the trademark and often
some such words as Fast Black" is
done by machine made for that sole
purpose. Another machine prints let
tering on cigars, and yet another
ddOrns barrels with the firm names
of the concerns whose products fill
them. There is a special device for
printing on the ends of spools of
thread, and another for putting letters
on buckets. One of the most curious
contrivances is a machine for print
ing on gelatin capsules. Another de-
vice is for printing on broom-handles
the name and address of the manu-
facturer. The lettering on collars and
| cuffs, which states the trademark and
| number, is done by machine built
for that particular purpose.
But the very newest continuance. in
this class Of inventions is a machine

wheel having a series of raised let

DANGERS OF NIGHT PARTIES.

Il abominate night parties for chill

physician does. 1t is not so much the
exposure and the eating in the night,
but the breaking into the sleep habit
Equally bad is it for children to study
in the evening. 1t gOrges their brains
with blood, and if they sleep they
dream. l had a little patient Of Il
years who was wasted and nervous
and whose dreams were filed with his
problems. 1t was a marvel and a
pride to his parents that the youngsteI

such as he failed to master when
awake. But he came near his final
problem. l locked up his books at

then go to bed. He is now robust.

session of the books and records, and put

Gen. Pope stated yesterday that the de-

stockholders will sustain something of a

is somewhat impaired.
The capital stock Of the institution which
was formerly $4,000, and a short time ago
reduced to $4,000, is impaired to the ex-

had filed delivery tank belonging to
the oil. At the same time he had turned
the lever that controls gasoline from
several large tanks outside of the build
ing that is emptied into tanks within.
While talking to Johnson and Anderson,
the other delivery man, Mr.. ONeill for
got about the tank being filled inside and
the gasoline ran over, flowing upon the
floor. An immense quantity Of gas formed
from the exposed liquid and the fumes
penetrated the building. Mr.. ONeill real
lied the danger and at once shut off the
gas. Harry O'Neill feared danger from
the escaped gas and opened the basement
door to investigate. Scarcely had he done
so than there was rush of flames that
told that the gas had come in contact
with the stove. Calling out to the three
men in the office to run for their lives,
Mr.. O'Neill started to escape Before
any one could get outside the explosion
shattered the building
Charles O'Neill made a brave effort to
protect the big tanks in the building He
managed to shut off one valve, but was
forced back by the flames before he could
reach the other valve. Danger from the
explosion of the tanks was, however, later
averted by people from the Cornplanter
OH company who understood the man
tpulation of the machinery.
When the flames that followed the eX-
plosion got a good start there was no
stopping them. Fed by the quantities Of
oil scattered about, the fire quickly spread
through the wrecked building, and, de-
spite the efforts of the department, the
plant was totally destroyed There was
$2OO In the office, where the hottest of the
fire ragged, and this, too, was destroyed.
The plant was owned by the Craig Oil
Company of Toledo, o. A general whole
sale oil business was transacted by the
firm, besides supplying tank wagons with
routes about the city. The ONeill broth
ers came here several years ago from
Milwaukee, Wis, where their father has
been engaged In the oil business for many
wears. The plant and its machinery
was entirely without insurance, as the
companies declined to issue policies for
the property by reason Of the unusual
risk
Immediately after the accident the
O'Neill brothers were attended at their
home by Dr. H. G. Johnson. From con-
fusion on Harry O'Neill's head it is be-
