GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS

Chicago.
Chicago. Nov f9.-The leading futures
ranged as follows.

Turns Gas on Automatically.

In factories and other places where
it is desired to turn on gas at given
times for heating or lighting purposes
it has heretofore been customary for
an employe to go around and light the
various burners before the working
day begins, and where the gas is used
for heating purposes, such. for in
stance, as melting the lead in typeset-
ting and typefounding machines, de-
lays in commencing work were liable
to occur through neglecting to light
the burners sufficiently early.
Oddur Vigfus Sigurddson, Danish
inventor living in London, England,
has patented simple apparatus for
automatically turning on the gas at
the proper hour, an alarm clock being
used to release the weight which
opens the valve. AS will be seen, the
clock carries lever support, with one
end of the lever sustaining weight
and the opposite end confined beneath
a hook on vertical rod. AS soon as
the alarm mechanism of the clock is
put in motion the rod moves sufficient
ly to release the lever from the hook.
when the weight falls to the cushion
in the bottom of the casing, at the
same time opening the main valve in
the gas supply pipe to allow full force
to the heating flame. which has pre-

PIatteviIIe Has Sugar Beet Fever.

Platteville, Colo, Nov 10.-A large
and enthusiastic meeting was held in
Berkley hall Friday evening to take
steps toward hoving a sugar factory
located at this place. On account of
the splendid water rights of Platte
vile and the surrounding country and
the quality of the soil it is certain
that no better place in the state could
be found. Something like 1000 acres
have already been pledged and 5000
acres could easily be secured. A site
for the factory has been offered free
of cost. and the merchants of Platte
vile are willing to do anything that is
necessary for the cause. A commit
tee has been appointed consisting OF
F. M. Gwyn, George Hodgson and
John Berkeley, to communicate with
capitalists and bring them to Platte
vile and show them over the locality.

Clamps on the Bottom of the Shoe.

Clamps on the Bottom of the Shoe.
ground is covered with ice or snow.
The invention comprises sandal hav-
ing sole and heel connected by an in
step portion, the sole consisting of
plurality or built-up sections SO con
s'tructed as to readily yield to the
movement of the foot of the wearer.
The sandal is secured to the sole OF
the shoe by tee cap and clamp de-
signed to engage the heel of the shoe.
The clamp is formed of two pivoted
levers, Joined by links to third. By
pulling the third lever back against
the side of the heel the links are loos-
ened, allowing the hooked rear ends
of the clamping levers to release their
hold on the opposite side of the heel.
The principal advantage of this sandal
is that it does not heat the foot, as is
the case with rubber overshoes, and,
as arrangement is made for adjusting
the clamps to fit heels of different
sizes, the sandal may be worn with
shoes of any size.

Americas First Settlers.

DR.. Charles Hallock writes to The
Literary Digest that he regards ko-
rean immigration of the year 544,
which led to the founding of the Mex
ican empire in 1925, as but an in
cidental contribution to the multiply
ing inhabitants of North America"
He says: "The Indians, or Indigenes,
of both North and South America, or
iginated from a civilization of high
degree which occupied the subequa-
torial belt some 10000 years ago
while the glacial sheet was still on.
Population spread northward as the
ice receded. The gradual dis
tribution of population over the higher
latitudes in after years was supple
mented by accretions from Europe
and Northern Asia centuries before
the coming of Columbus"

Utah Man Fires at Train.

Salt Lake City, Nov. 10.-A volley
of shots was fired from the darkness
last night upon a Rio Grande Western
passenger train near Goshen, Utah.
Mrs. H. T. Starten of Mammoth, Utah,
was wounded in the arm, and another
bullet came within couple of inches
of her husbands head. Other passen-
gers had narrow escapes. and two
were slightly cut by flying glass.
This morning the same train, on its
return. trip, was pursued by solitary
horseman, who opened another volley,
but the train was going too fast for
him to do any serious damage. Fail
ing in his attempt. he rode away.
Sheriff Storrs at Provo was notified

may be cited the electric production
of calcium bisulphid. The substance
is made by one of the most ingenious
applications of electricity. The proc
ess in question is the invention of
Edward r. Taylor, and was put in
operation in 1900. The process is con-
tinuous, the current being regulated
either by the amount of conductive
carbon introduced into the furnace or
by reducing the working surface of
the electrodes by partially submerging

Appendicitis,

NJ. Lannelongue has Just communi-
Gated to the Paris Academy of Sci
ences long history Of appendicitis.
He shows that it is by no means a
new disease. The medical records of
the last century in France contain
many instances. Egypt in the time of
the Pharoahs was not exempt, for he
shows that the mummy of young
woman of the eleventh dynasty (some
5000 years ago) exhibits every indica-
tion that the death was due to peri
tonitis having its origin in diseased
appendix. This mummy has been put
to a new use. 1t was in Sir Thomas
Brownies time that Mizraim cured
wounds and Pharaoh was sold for bal

involving the murder of two young
women. Agnes McPhee and Clara A.
Morton, and the murderous assaults on
many others, was step nearer solu-

pawned, the watches which were taken
by the so-called Jack the Slugger'
from the bodies of his victims.
The person in custody is light-com-
plexioned negro eighteen years old.
His name is George l.. o. Perry. He
has confessed that he secured the
watches which he sold from man in
Central square, Cambridge. He has
given the mans name as Allen G. Ma
son. While the police are endeavorin3
to establish connection between Per-
ry and Mason, friends of the latter are
equally strenuous in their endeavor to
support their contention that the ne
gro has made false statements.
When they met face to face in Cam
bridge Jail to-day. Mason denied ever
having seen Perry before. The identi-
fication of Mason by Perry, however,
was of such a character that Police
man George Durham says he has no
doubt that the two are acquainted.
Mason is very nervous, more so than
he has been when others have called
to see him. Perry, on the other hand,
was unconcerned and gazed at Mason
for several seconds, then turned and
went toward the door.
The boy in his statement says that
he met the man, whose name is not
disclosed, in Central square, Cam
bridge, about four weeks ago. After
some conversation they begon to talk
about watches, and the man gave the
boy small watch. Perry pawned it
with Nemser and. meeting the man
again, gave him rs cents of the pro-
ceeds. Last Sunday Perry met him
again, as he says, accidentally, and
again the man showed watch. Perry
says the man seemed anxious to getrid
of it. so he took 1t and pawned it with
Nemser, gettingX 81. He says he has
not seen the man since
While Perry maintains that he
pawned two watches found in Nemser's S
store, in Cambridge street, and the
writing on slips given to Nemser at
the time corresponds with the hand
writing of Perry. Nemser declares that
Perry is not the person from whom he
purchased the watches, and in saying
this he asserts that he knows Perry
well and is also acquainted with his
mother
Young Perry has bad record and
tells different stories.
