The Most Ancient Machine Tool

There can be very little doubt that
the potter's wheel, or potter's lathe, as
it Is also termed, represents today the
most ancient form of machine tool
known. Among the many sculptured
records of the trades and occupations
which so vividly represent the customs
and habits of the ancient Egyptians
the potter and his wheel have been
found frequently depicted. and it is
curious to note that through the al
most countless generations since that
time this crude type of lathe has under
gone no material modification.
The primitive form was evidently n
small, round table set on pivot and
free TO revolve, being turned by hand
AT intervals, and to this device there
were added in the course of time such
simple conveniences as a table to sup
port it and foot or hand power turn
Ing arrangement, displaced in recent
years in possibly few isolated cases
by actual engine power driving. In
general use, however, the potter's
wheel of the present time bears all the
characteristics of the one which, 1900
years or more ago, served to turn out
pottery attesting unsurpassable taste
and skill.-Cassier's Magazine.

The average pound loaf" of fresh

professor, weighed on an average about
one pound one ounce. A pound loaf of
bread can be made from about three
quarters Of pound of -four, about %
per cent of water being added to the
flour during the process of breadmak-
ing. With some tlours to 10 per cent
more water can be absorbed, making
a greater weight of bread from given
weight of flour. This additional weight
is water and not nutrients.
At cents a pound for -four it is es-
timated by the professor that a pound

amounting to about . per cent of the

A Freak of the Lightning.

A curious case of lightning destruc-
tion took place at Gatchina, an i'm
perial summer residence not far from
st. Petersburg, where stood a stone
column 90 feet high, held together by
iron angles. When rain fell more or
less water pentrated the stones In the
Interior of the monument. One day 1t
was struck by lightning, and instantly
the whole column disappeared from
view, killing lone sentry on guard.
The only explanation Is that the heat
of the lightning instantly generated
steam on coming in contact with some
OF the water, and the terrific explosion
followed.

Calder and Fisher.

James Eli Fisher was tried in
Fort Benton on the charge of mur-
der committed in Fergus county
two years ago. The trial resulted
in acquittal. Word comes from
Fort Benton that all during the trial
the prisoners aged father sat in the
court room, apparently in great dis
tress and frequently with his head
bowed, giving all the impression
that he was engaged in silent pray
er. His attitude was very rotice-
able and his apparent grief and pie
ty probably had considerable inhu-
ence on the jurors. When the YER
dict of acquittal was returned, the
old man rose and, with uplifted
eyes, exclaimed, "Praise God from
Whom all blessings flow." That
night father and son spent in the
bald headed row in a beer hall, and
the old man was not drinking IRON
water.
James Calder, the principal wit
ness to the acquittal of Fisher, who
had furnished testimony in Fergus
county to hang his brother Bill, and
had modified the testimony in the
trial of Fisher was arraigned in
Lewistown last Saturday for PERU
ry. He pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to six years in the pen.

MANAGING SMALL BOYS.
How Some Mothers Take All the
Spirit Out of Them.


II am always made sorry when l
ride in the cars, through the shopping
districts particularly" said the wo-
man to newspaper man, ito see the
mothers ill treat small boys. 1t is
ethical cruelty, but quite as disastrous
as physical i'll treatment might be, it
seems to me,
Il see poor little fellows of and s,
nice little men who would be manly if
they were allowed to be, pushed into
that seat and out of it into another as
if they were 50 many little dummies.
They usually are very nearly that, for
seven or eight years of such pushing
and pulling Is enough to take all the
spirit out of small boy unless he
has unusual vigOr of character.
"a boy of that age ought to be be-
ginning to look out for his mother and
finding seats foy her. Occasionally a
sensible mother, who treats her boy
like human being, is to be found, and
it is a pleasure to see the two together.
"The boy who is dragged around like
a little muff during the early part of
his life Is apt to come to himself after
a time if he is not entirely ruined, and
then he goes to an opposite extreme, is
rude and self asserting, while he Is try
ing to establish an equilibrium, and
the mother can't imagine what the
trouble is."-New York Times.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

sit is strange how calmly our
republican friends take it over the
hauling down OF the flag in Alas
ka,' says our neighbor, the Bulle-
tin. The Bulletin either knows
what it is talking about or it does
not. If it does not, it should in
form itself before speaking in pub
lie; if it does, it should not make
statements and insinuations so
manifestly unfair. The facts about
the Alaskan matter are these.
There has been for many years a
dispute concerning the boundary
line and the matter is still unset
tied and is still to be arbitrated.
In the mean time in the interest of
law and order and to protect the
interests of both countries it be-
came necessary that, while the mat
ter was pending, some temporary
line should be fixed so that one
country or the other should be able
to enforce its laws. This has been
done and the temporary line throws
seventeen miles of disputed terri
tory which has hitherto been con-
troled by this country under the
temporary control of Canada. Not
one foot of soil has been given up
to Great Britain and if the Bulle-
tin we're anything but an echo and
were given to original research, it
would know it. The rights of all
Americans have been preserved
and the distinct reservation made
chat the United States loses none
of its rights of sovereignty on &C.

THEY aoT FRESH AIR.
The Door Remained Open after a
Very EOrcfble Argument

very hOTclD1e
An old story is told of Joseph Robi-
doux, the founder of st. Joseph that
had its origin in Holt county in the
early settlement of that section. The
trader who started the city was re-
turning to st. Joseph with number Of
red men, and they stopped with an ac-
quaintance of Robidoux's close to
the house, and Robidoux went in to re-
main overnight as the guest Of his
friend.
The settler closed the front door aft
er they had retired, and Robidoux, who
was used to sleeping in the open air,
went softly to it and opened it, The
owner Of the house waited until Robi-
doux was in bed again, and the settler
closed it. That was repeated dozen
times. '..rhe next time that door is
closed there will be trouble" said che
man who had founded st. Joseph. He
resumed his couch with that.
The owner of the house closed the
door, and Robidoux met him as he was
returning to his bed. They clinched
and fought by the light of the moon
that came in through the window. 1t
was hard fight and lasted long
time, but at last Robidoux had the set
tier on his back and sat astride of him.
He tangled his hands in his hair and
bumped his head against the puncheon
floor. "Open or shut?'' he asked. The
settler struggled, but did not say a
word. His head was bumped many
times, and the question was repeated.
Finally the settler was exhausted.
His head was bumped again, and Ro-
bidoux asked, "Open or shut?'
Open" answered the settler, and
they went to bed with the door stand
ing wide open, admitting the fresh air.

THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.

The REVIEW has been asked by
many enthusiastic friends of Judge
Conner to make some statement as
to the progress of his campaign,
and the probabilities Of his nomi
nation. With SO many candidates
in the field, this is no time either
for idle Boosting or for cocksure
prophecies. The situation will be
better understood when we say
that with the exception Of Hum
boldt, Webster and Greene, each
of the fourteen counties has one or
more candidates. Numerous state
ments and counter statements are
being made that such and such a
candidacy is merely in the interest
of some other, but as far as our
knowledge goes every man is in
the contest in good faith and hopes
to win. This being the case a
long drawn contest may be gex-
pected; SO long as the various can
didates feel hopeful it is not to be
supposed that they will withdraw
from the field, and until some OF
them do withdraw, no nomination
can be made.
Thus far in the contest it would
appear that Judge Conner and
Hon. M. E. DeWolf, of Pocohon-
tas, are the only men who have
the delegation from more than one
county. According to the candi.
dates now in the field the first bal
lot would read something as fol-
lows: Conner 20, DeWolf 49,,
Stevens 10, Sallinger II, McVey
II, Inghram n, Chase or Kamrar
II, Grim 6, Brown 9, Secor g..
Wickman 10, with the vote Of
Webster county unaccounted for.
If this county should divide its
votes among the various candi-
dates the result of the first ballot
would be relatively as stated above.
1t will thus be.seen that upon the
second choice strength depends
entirely the result of the conven-
ton.
We hope that Judge Conner
will be the nominee, but we make
no predictions as to when or how
that will be accomplished. All
that we can ask of our friends in
Greene county is that they remain
steadfast, and we have every rea-
son to believe that this is their in
tention. Under these circum-
stances it will be seen that it is of
prime Importance that Crawford
county be represented at the con-
vention by as many as possible OF
! the very best and most influential
republican workers of the county.
1t is to be to a great extent test
OF ability and endurance and no
personal feelings Of pride or local
|jealousies should be allowed to
prevent this county from having as
strong a delegation as possible.
As stated before in the REVIEW,
Crawford has but eleven delegates
to the convention but many more
workers are needed, and every per-
son selected, whether as delegate
or as an alternate, should consider

Judge Conner receive the nomina-

part of the fighting ahead of him
in defeating the democratic nomi-
nee. Of course this is intended as
harmless joke on the Bulletins
part.
