man you know a prescription:
Devoe lead and zinc. Apply with a
brush, from one to three cOats-get a
painter 10 do 1t
.Your state chemist knows all about
Devoe: has analyzed it; reports it pure !;
will analyze it occasionally He buys it
wherever he likes-it is generally in the
best pant-store in town.
You know what the color ard dryer
are for: do you know what the lead and
zinc and oil are for? Not being painter,
you may not choose TO Know; but we'll
tell you.
Lead and zinc aud oil combine to form
rubbery waterproof coat to keep out
dampness. That's the whole hu,intss.
The oil would do it alone; lead and
oil would do II, without the Ziuc; zinc
aud oil without the lead; but the three
together are best, because they wear
best
We say to YOU, "get painter" as
we'd say to him "get dOctor'-every y

STEEL BRIDGE WASHED AWAY
Great Damage Done by High Water
In East Tennessee.

KNOXVILLE, Jan. 10. The trestle-
work under the new steel bridge of the
Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern rail
road over Little river, together with q
portion of the steel structure, was
washed away last night by high water.
Little river, like the Tennessee, French
Broad and Pigeon rivers, is out of its
banks, and is rapidly rising.
All these streams are doing much
damage to lumber RATS, farms and
fences. The Tennessee is IA feet high
here today, having risen 10 feet in "a
hours. This is the highest here for two
years. 1t is now rising 2 inches per hour.
A boat loaded with lumber became un-
controllable on the French Broad last
night and was swept down this morning
Almost all the cargo of lumber was lost
No rain has fallen here since midnight.

Eddy Says He Has Received
Messages by His Kite.
TRYING TODECIPHER THEM

He First Noticed Them In 1S92-They
Are Similar to the Morse TelegraphiC
Code and Come From Very "a Great
Height, He Says.
NEW YORK. Jan. William A.
Eddy of Bayonne, N. j., says that since
1892 he has drawn from his kite wire
hundreds of electric signals. both regu-
lar and irregular, which may have come
from some planet and that the signals
have been usually in groups of three,
regularly timed like Morse sounder.
When the ends of the kite sustained
steel wires are separated by silk strands,
the sparks jump at 12-seccnd intervals.
Then there are mysterious disappear
ances Of all electric action for several
minutes.
These electric sparks come from n
high point in the air, not near to the
low tension electric currents of trolley
and live wires.
Mr.. Eddy says that the sparks in the
signals may come from an outer planet,
because electricity travels at the rate of
10000 miles a second, as measured by
rapidly revolving toothed wheel.
Great variability in effect is produced
when there is apparently no change
whatever in the condition of the upper
air, so far as is known.
Mr.. Eddy has been trying to decipher
these signals since 1892. 1t is also to be
noted that Tesla's signals come from
Pixies Peak, at high point in the air.
Mr.. Eddy points out that electricity is
superior to light because an interruption
can be transmitted, while light suffuses
around dark shadow and especially in
the shade is of small diameter.

BETTER DEMAND AND
MONEY is HARDENING
No Further Failures Are Ex-
pected In London.
REVIEW OF THE SITUATION

Hope Is Expressed That the Worst Is
Over-Count de CastelIane Talks of
His Troubles-San Domingo Settles
Its Difficulties.
LONDON, Jan. 12.-The demand for
money is better and hardening owing to
the Bank of England having taken off
considerable sums in expectation of re-
gaining control next week This has
f1rmed discounts.
Business on the Stock Exchange was
dull today, being overshadowed by the
position of West Australians and an in
disposition to deal, pending the carry
over. The Americans were the most
active. They opened active at parity
and further hardened. ST Paul and
Ontario were the features.
Grand Trunks were firm. Mines
were weak. Owing to the difficulties
connected with the carry over in many
cases were unsteady. In some instances
facilities for continuing bargains were
withdrawn. Operators generally were
very nervous and disorganized and some
failures are expected.
The general view is that there will be
no further disaster compared with the
settlement, but the future depends
greatly on what arrangements can be
made with the creditors of the London
and Globe Finance corporation. The
effect of the bank rate and the advanc-
ing of discounts was short lived. The
struggle of the last few days has often
been to prevent the rate falling below 4.
Continental houses have been keen COM
petitors for bills and bought them at
1916 in midweek apparently in ad-
vance Of the bank rate. This has done
mischief instead of good.
Reviewing the banks turn in connec-
ton with the treasury position, the In
vestor's Review expresses the hope that
the worst of the government induced
credit cheapness is now over and the
banks hold some millions short dated.

cAsTELLANE's STATEMENT
Gives His Side of the Trouble With
WOrtheimer.


LONDON, Jan. 12.-The Count Boni de
Castellane was asked to make public his
reply to the charges of London art
dealer that the count had not only
bought articles of vertu to the value of
$337 900 for which he had never paid,
but that he had resold the articles at a
profit after having promised to return
them to the dealers.
1.-The New York statements are in no
instance different from those uttered by
Wortheimer's lawyers in the recent suit
brought in Paris, yet how little
they impressed the French court was
manifested by the states attorney
simply recommending the appointment
of experts.
'The plaintiffs lawyers there, as in
New York, made charges of an unlaw-
full act on my part, but the reason why
the plaintiff failed to institute a crimi-
nal action on this side Of the ocean was
palpable both in France and England.
''By French and English.law person
of my position and fortune is not called
upon to say what he does With goods
purchased on credit.
"If a gentleman of standing in the
community has fortune warranting
such purchases he may sell or give away
the goods without laying himself open
to the charge Of committing an unlaw-
full act. His fortune guarantees respon-
sibility in all such cases and the courts
fully recognize the situation.

The distinguished services of the Min

of the body felt that he had suffered a
personal loss.
Upon the conclusion of the routine
morning business Mr.. Nelson of Min

death Of Senator Davis.
AS Mr.. Nelson called up the resolu-

friends of the late senator occupied seats
in the executive gallery during the de-
livery of the memorial oration.

DEFRAUDED EASTERN
MEN OF THOUSANDS
Trio of Swindlers Arrested
In st. Louis.
MANY FIRMS SUFFERED

They Used the Name of Well known
Firm to Purchase Goods on Time.
Are Charged With Using the Mail
For Fraudulent Purposes.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-Government Off
GERS last night checked the operations of
three men who are charged with having
by fraud disposed of thousands of dol
lars worth of dry goods, overalls, ladies
underwear and similar articles, using
the name of a reputable st. Louis firm
III ordering the consignments. The
men arrested are Menasha or Manasse
hpschitz, Samuel Lipschitz, his son,
and Nathan Harris, an employe, and
they are charged with being the leaders
OF the scheme. The losers include doz-
ems OF eastern firms, all of whom have
not as yet been heard from.
M. Lpschitz & Co., who is a reputa-
bIe firm with an excellent rating in the
commercial agencies, located on North
Seventh street, was the one whose
name was used by the trio. 1t was not
until two months had elapsed that the
authorities were able to reach the men
suspected. The plan was apparently
conceived last July.
Eastern firms received orders for goods
on 60 and 80 days time by the firm of
I'M. M. Lipschite & 90.
After few days the orders were hon
ored, as the credit of the firm of that
name was excellent: Boxes and bundles
began coming to St. Louis and were
carted to an old building at 1918 Chest
nut street. AS soon as the wagons
reached the place they were quickly un-
loaded, the dray bills signed and soon
after another wagon would haul the
stuff away. These mysterious opera
tions were kept up from July 2S to
Oct. 10. United States Commissioner
James R. Gray charges the men with
using the mails in the furtherance of
fraudulent scheme.
Investigation developed that stenog-
rapher was employed in the correspon-
dence between the trio and the eastern
firms. and an effort is being made to To-
cate her, as she will be a leading wit
