Weighing OF mails began this
week on tha G. & n W., and the
over-worked mail clerks have to
let out another link. How little
the world realiz $ as ii sleeps the
night away, the amount Of
energy ana brain consumed in
these mail cars, rushing their
letters and papers to the proper
destination. What would be-
come OF the worlds business If
this wonderful human mcchan-
ism should cease to operate for
"a hours?

But What A Lisei

Eli Minch, a New Jersey man,
boasts of this kind of a life 81
have never been married or IN
love, never smoked, chewed nor
touched a drop o. beer or other
intoxicants; never played domi-
nos. checkers or cards of any
kind, and cannot tell one card
from another. / have never been
to a play, even in a church, or a
circns: never saw the inside OF a
theater: have never skated with
a girl on the ice, although / was
when a boy considered quite a
skater, and | think that few men
experience the pleasure that |
did when q young man."

nPassing Of the Teacher. I"

Under the above beading a
writer in the Dakota Farmer
says: IF all the County Super
intendents were to publish lists
of third grade certificates. and
permits to teach issued by them,
school patrons won!d be effectu-
ally aroused to the danger
eatening our once vauEted
country schools" There may
be something in this complaint,
but what is the cause-and the
remedy? Ar6 other channels OF
more pleasant or more renumer4
atiye employment open? Are
teachers treated well enough, en-
couraged, supported by school
boards and parents? And are
they paiG enough ?

NEW SAFETY DEVICE.
System Devised for Closing Water
Tight Doors on Steamships in Case !
of Accident by Electricity, =

of Accident by Electricity. !
The hrst public exposition OF a new
system of closing water-tight doors
on steamships, adopted two years ago
by the North German Lloyd company;
but thus far installed on only a few
of its vessels was given on board the
Kron Prinz Wilhelm the other day at
New York. The new system is one
by which every bulkhead connecting
door throughout the vessel below the
water line can be closed automatically
by the turn of a lever on the bridge and
within the space of a minute. In order
to close the 20 compartment doors Of
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm it is necessary
to move a lever on the bridge, in doing
which an electric bell is sounded for
20 seconds at every door, giving warn
ing that the door is about to close.
Then the doors close slowly, and in
order that the commanding officer may
be sure that every door closes there is
a board in the charthouse on which is
an electric bulb number to correspond
with each door. AS each door closes
tight the corresponding bulb in the
charthouse CLOVIS.
Aside from this arrangement, the
doors are 30 arranged that in case Of
any failure of the automatic system
the doors may be closed by hand in the
usual tanner

INvENTs NEW LIGHT.
Cheaper and Better illuminate
Than Arc Light,

Over the entrance to the house Of
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, at ~ West Thirty-frst
street, there hung the other night
what looked like a column of cold, blue
white light, four inches in diameter
and four feet high. 1t gave a brilliant
illumination to the street for nearly
half a block. Inside the house the au-
ditorium was lighted by five similar
lights, but of lesser diameter, and the
light of the hall was almost like sum
light. Beneath these lights, which
looked like big candles, sat several
hundred members of the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers to lis
ten to the reading of a paper on "Elec-
trio Gas Lamps and Gas Electrical Re-
s%istance Phenomena" by the young in
ventor of the lamps, Peter Coopee
Hewitt, son Of Abram S. Hewitt.
Six years ago Mr.. Hewitt came to the
conclusion that a better and cheaper
light than that supplied by either the
arc or incandescent lamps could be OBJ
tanned by the use of a gas as the con-
ductor instead of the film used in the
incandescent lamps. He began to ex-
pertinent, with the result that he has
obtained such a light, and, except for
the perfection of a few details, is ready
to put it on the market.
Mr.. Hewitt's lamp consists simply
of a glass tube. with a bulb at one end,
into which he introduces the gas gen.
Grated from mercury. The tubes,
when filled, are connected with the or
binary electric power in any building
and the current turned on. The gas
acts as the conductor, and as soon as
the switch is turned the tube is flood
ed with light.
Mr.. Hewitt says he can produce hia
light at one-eighth the cost of the in
candescent lamps and one-third the
cost Of arc lamps and of gas lamps. =

AMERICAN ~s1LvERsM1THs.
Are Preparing to Invade the English
Market with Their Artis-
tic Wares.

American manufacturers of silver
ware are preparing to invade the Eng
lish markets. The originality and ar
tistic finish Of the American product
has been recognized in the British Isles
as elsewhere, but without the English
hall mark as a guarantee Of the purity
of the silver it was impossible to make
any Roadway. One difficulty in the
way was that the hall mark could not
be affixed after the goods were fin
ish.d, as the tests for purity would
disfgure them.
To obviate this the manufacturers
made arrangements to ship the silver
ware to England in a partly finished
condition, have the hall mark affixed
and sent back to the United States for
the final stages of manufacture, after
which it is to be shipped to England
for sale.
Inquiry mas made at the treasury
department whether or not duty
would be assessed on the goods when
brought back from England, and the
department has ruled that no duty
will be levied, as the silverware would
not be considered as having been adj
vanced in manufacture within the
meaning of the law by the afixng Of
the hall mark

Robbed by q Tramp.

George Vunsvick, shareman on the
Gunderson farm north of the Nick Alti-
mus place on Wheeler Prairie and whose
people live in Dave McNeil's residence.
came into Stoughton Tuesday in search
OF Marshal Erdahl and warrant. Mr..
Vunsvick is out OF pocket fifty-two dol
lars that he wanted an officers assistance
in recovering. He stated that Monday
evening tramp was given permission to
sleep upstairs at Gunderson's and was
offered an opportunity to work at good
wages with the understanding that he
was to start in Tuesday morning. When
the men folks arose, though it was bright
and early, Mr.. Tramp had disappeared
Later in the forenoon he returned telling
the women he had left his pocket knife
behind and went upstairs apparently to
find it. Vunsvick became suspicious of
the fellow and as the Weary Willie was
disappearing on dog trot over the near
est hilltops, Vunsvick discovered that
his money had been taken from the
pockets Of his best suit.

Annual Reunion of Thirteenth Regiment

The annual reunion OF the 18th Wis
consin regiment will be held in GAINESVILLE
on Wednesday, October 10Th, and it is
expected there will be a large attendance
of the surviving members. The usual
time of holding the reunion heretofore
has been in August, but at the last meet
ing it was decided to change the time of
meeting to October, in the hope that
more of the members interested in farm
ing could get away. The session will be
held at the court house, beginning at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, though there
will be many members in the city in the
morning, and for those the members of
the local W. R. G. will prepare and serve
dinner.
Col. and Mrs. Lyon are expected to be
among those in attendance, word having
been received from them that they
would be here. President Albert Sails
bury of Whitewater, is letting all of the
comrades know of the meeting and pre-
diets that there will be one of the larg-
est attendances that have characterized
the reunions for number of years.
