Operators Organise.

Telegraph operators this afternoon
formed a local union of the International
Order OF Commercial Telegraphers, start
ing with a membership OF only eighteen.
The membership and the officers were kept
secret for fear the companies would resent
the action, as has been done elsewhere,
and attempt to break up the union. The
union here will embrace all commercial
operators in central Iowa.

Why Americans Drink.

'Pleasureable emotional excitement
Ainslees. Every kind of work is
liable to leave the muscles and nerves
tense and Oyerdrawn. We often see
muscle tOnus cOrrugating the brow,
rigidifying the face or attitudes and
showing that innervation impulses con-
tinue to flow out from the nerve Gen.
tiers after toll is over. We Americans
lack the very words gcmuth and esprit,
and it is very hard for us to entirely
forget the struggle for existence in So
Cial intercourse. The careful studies Of
Partridge and others show that the de-
sire for this kind of unbending is one
of the chief causes that lead Ameri-
cans to drink, because they have lost
the power to feel the normal eXhilara-
ton which inebriatiOn stimulates. In
Stinct points to this as a great boon,
and so it is sought over cups and glass
es III the cOnyiyiality that comes from
artificial stimulation. A little more roll
licking jollity, with jest and quip with
cOngenial friends, the tale, the song,
perhaps the quiet, harmless game that
does not OvertaX the system-of all
this we have too little in our stern
American life, with it's tendencies to
OvertOnicity and cramps of will and at
tentiOn"

How Scissors Are Made,

Though no complexities are involved
in the making of scissors or much skill
required, yet the process of manufac-
ture is very interesting. They are
forged from good bar steel heated to
redness, each blade being cut off with
sufficient metal to form the shank, or
tEat destined to become the cutting
part, and bow, Or that which later OF
is fashioned into the holding portion.
For the bow small hole is punched,
and this is afterward expanded to the
required size by hammering it on Il
cOnical anvil, after which both shank
and bow are filed into q more perfect
shape and the hole bored in the middle
for the rivet. The blades are next
ground and the handles filed smooth
and FURNISHED with oil and emery,
after which the pairs are fitted to-
gether and tested as to their easy
working.
They are not yet finished, however;
they have to undergo hardening and
tempering and be again adjusted, after
which they are finally put together
again and polished for the third time.
In comparing the edges of knives and
scissors it will be noticed, Of course,
that the latter are not in any way so
sharply ground as the former, and that
in cutting scissors crush and bruise
more than knives.

Diamond Fields of India.

Diamond fields in India were known
from the very earliest times. In the
sacred books of India eight localities
are mentioned rs yielding diamonds,
and of these three have been identi-
fed at the present day-Matanga CKist-
ma and Godavery), Paunda (Chota Nag
pur) and Vena Gunga Wairaghar).

Cooking Ham.

Ham is frequently too salt to fry
without previous preparation. Put the
slices in tepid water and let them
stand on the back of the range to soak
out the salt, not to boil, for about half
an hour. Drain dry between towels,
then fry in a hot spider.
When a whole ham is to be baked or
boiled, let it stand overnight covered
with cold water.

Madison, Wis, Aug. 5.-The politi
cal campaign, apart from the Bryant
Winkler correspondence, drags bit.
There is disposition to take a rest.
Some of the leading figures are up OH
the northern lakes to recruit their
spent energies. The Buckstaff book
trust charges are thus far untouched
by the LaFollette managers. How
serious the matter is-whether the re-
tirement of Harvey or the nomination
of his successor had any vital relation
to the subscription to the campaign
fund which some of the book company
people made, cannot be told until the
participants are forced by the state
is serious enough that a subscription
was arranged at such critical time.
The Democrats will take the story
into the country districts for what it
is worth. The likelihood is that the
managers-the active spirits-are the
ones who did what was done. Gov
ernor LaFollette and Mr.. Cary were
unconscious of what was going for
ward. 1.-THE boys" thought they were
doing good turn. However, it is a
matter that should be cleared up.
Something About Burr w. Jones.
Meanwhile. we are watching the
Democrats. 1t looks like Rose or Burr
W. Jones. The Madison crowd, with
the energy and enthusiasm that are
winning state recognition in doing
things" are urging Jones claims. Mr..
Jones is a busy, genial clever law
yer He is smallish man in body,
but very affable. He can be cold and
cutting, but he doesn't resort to it eX-
cept in the stress of cross-eXamination
known each other-call each other by
the first name. Whether in the heat
of the campaign Mr.. Jones would take
the hide off his opponent or not is
doubtful, SO amiable is the former;
but the chances are that in the stress
of the fight, with the executive chair
in sight, Mr. Jones would let a lit
tie vitrOil leak out. He is professor
in the law school, partner of E. Ray
Stevens of primary bill fame, and
lives in handsome home with his
wife and one daughter, Marion,
charming girl of the university age Mr..

Wisconsin Harvest Season.
1t is a light year for cranberries in
Wisconsin, although the shortage is
not as great here as in the east The
outlook for d large apple crop in
Wisconsin this season is not encourage
ing. Some sections report pros
poets for a fair yield but most sec
tons report prospects for very light
yield. The Cannery Producer, the new
(Waterloo) monthly, which speaks for
this growing industry, says: -.
THE pea pack. while not unusually
large, has been very satisfactory and
the quality is also good. Tomatoes are
promising well and from present indi-
cations there will be Il normal yield
and pack, but nothing to indicate that
there will be an over production of to-
matoes. Indications point to large
yield of corn and in consequence there
will be good pack. Taken all in all
this season, from present indications,
will be good one for the canning in
dustry."

NOVEL RAILWAY DEVICE.
Obedience TO Train orders Enforced
by "a safety Machine.


The Hooking Valley railroad has
about completed n test OF device cal
culated TO insure the proper execution
OF train order regardless of the fer.
getting, sleeping or death OF the engi-
neer after having received his instruc-
tions, says a Columbus special to the
st. Louis Republic II has been tried
for six weeks. I'm that time II has trav-
eled 10000 miles, and not once has II
failed to act properly. During that
time all the engineers on the north di.
vision have had a chance to see 1t work
and try IL themselves.
The device itself Is more simple than
one would expect from the almost hu-
manlike intelligence II manfests. II
consists of n large clocklike structure
with a double dial. This is connected
by rod and by belt to the truck
under the pilot. This registers the mile
age I'm the same manner that d cyclom-
eter does on bicycle.
The first service II does is to inform
the engineer OF his distance from his
starting point when II Is dark and he
cannot see customary landmarks. But
the interesting feature is the inner or
second dial. This is fitted up with Sc.
ries of ten catches. and each of these
catches can move over a period of ten
notches. These catches and notches are
used to set the dial for any given dis
tance. much as an alarm clock is set,
except that It can be set for ten differ
ent stops at the same time and the ten
| different orders will be executed in
succession and without interference.
When the engine has run the dis
tance set for the first order, II sounds a
warning whistle on the air brake. il
| then gives the engineer 1000 feet in
which to obey his summons. If he does
not do this the action of the CLOCK con-
tinues. and the air brakes are applied
automatically and the train comes to n
full stop. II a showdown is all that is
desired, when the engineer gets the
note of warning he can reduce steam
and then by pulling out n little plunger
prevent the train from stopping.
