BRIEF HISTORY OF TWINE PLANT

One hundred and fifty thousand dollars

from the time of it's establishment down
to the present. except in the wear 1000
under democratic rule. s3a .
Behold the CONTRAST! Under Democratic
management the state looses money. The
farmer who purchases the Irvine loses
money and has a poor quality OF goods,
while under Republican management the
state and farmer both make money and

Regarding the reports that the Ger

Caracas. Venezuela, Ilec. 10. - The
government has taken preservatdve
mea snres at La Euayra. All the deptis'

British cars on the La Guayra railroad
have been brought here, rendering i'm
possible the transportation of the allied

srots ia the mountains where trenches
are to be dug.
The governor Of Caracas has issued
the following decree:
"AH venezuelans living in the fed
eral district, between the ages Of eight

selves IN the militia; any such person
refusing to emoll voluntarily, as pa.

The defensive preparations at the

"Mercuriale Swords"

"MercuHtale SwOrds."
When was it usual to insert running
mercury in the backs of swords?
This was a comparatively common
practice among the Italian, French ana
Spanish swordmakers of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. bat 1t was
more Of ii fancy than anything else, nor
it never came into general use. 1t was
not. of course used for rapiers Or the
lighter kind Of swords, bat fer the
heavier cutting swords.
The method was to cast the blade
rather broader at the back than usual,
with a hollow running down it. This
WAS half filled with quicksilver ana
sealed up. The idea was that when
blow was struck with such sword
tl.e quicksilver would fiy to the point
and go increase the weight of the blow.
This theoretical advantage. however,
did not at all connterbalanee the gen.
esnl caumsiness Of the weapon and its
uhhandiness in guarding, and so the
naaecurIaie swords, as they were called,
1sua which their ingenious inventor
hoped SO much, were rather military
eu4seities than practical successes.-
