TOOL THAT ALMOST TALKS
Yet Its Complicated Mechanism Can
BE Tended by a Girl.

BE Tended by n Girl.
The most highly developed of ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine, and, like many another con-
trivance for saving labor. its home is
New England. Ia is a development of
the ordinary steel working lathe, the
intermediate step being the monitor
lathe, in which the various cutting
tools protrude from the side of a steel
turret like thirteen inch guns from a
battleship turret. In the nonautomatic
screw machine the turret is revolved
by the operator so as to bring each tool
into play, just as the turret on the old
Monitor was revolved to bring one gun
after another into action. But in the
automatic machine the work is done
without human guidance.
In making screws, nuts. bolts, studs
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks, typewriters, electrical instru-
ments and other mechanisms all the
operator has to do is to feed the
''stock''-a long, thin rod of steel or
brass-to the machine. The feeding
mechanism carries the rod slowly for
ward into the field of action. The tur-
ret advances and puts its first tool at
work on the end of the rod. When this
tool has done its task, the turret with
draws it, turns and advances n second
tool into action. Each cutting tool
around the turret has its distinct work
to perform-One cutting a thread, an
other shaping a head, another putting
on point, another drilling hole, still
another putting on knurling. The tur-
ret automatically brings each or per-
haps six tools into action and when
the work is finished the completed
screw drops into a pan, while the
''stock"~is automatically fed forward
to begin the complex operation again.
A stream of machine oil pOurs contir-
uously on the work to carry away the
heat, and the little metal cuttings col
lect in Il heap under the machine.
Hour after hour this wonderful au-
tomaton goes through its cycle of oper-
atoms, the turret clicking every mo-
ment as il brings a new tool forward
Small brass pieces, on which but one
tool cuts, are dropped at the rate of
four Il second. Large screws of COM
plicated design upon which Il whole
turretful of tools must work are cut
from steel rod at the rate of one or
two minute. So perfectly are these
screw machines constructed that an I'M
skilled workman can operate a row of
them. All he is required to do is to keep
them fed with stock In some shops
girls tend the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

THE PARADISE FISH.
One of the Wonderful PIscatOriaI
Rarities Found In China.

One of the Wonderful PIscatOriaI
Rarities Found In China.
The oldest of all piscatOrial rarities
is the paradise fish of China. Like the
German canary and one or two other
species of bird and fish, this little finny
beauty is the product of cultivation
only, there being no place in the world
where it is found in Il wild state. In
the land of the dragon they are kept
and cultivated in ornamental aQuari-
ums. each succeeding generation of the
little oddities exhibiting more diver
sified colOrs. The male is the larger of
the two sexes, measuring when full
grown three and half inches. The
body is shaped very much like that OF
q common pumpkin seed sunfish, its
color surprising in brilliancy any fish
heretofore cultivated for the aquarium.
The head of macropodus chats his
generic nance is ashy gray, notified
with irregular dark spots. The gills
are azurine blue, bordered with bril-
liant crimson.
The eyes are yellow and rcd, with q
black pupil. The sides of the body and
the crescent shaped caudal fin are deep
crimson. the former having from ten
to twelve vertical blue stripes, while
the latter is bordered with blue. The
upper surface of the body is continual
~ changing colOr-soInetimes it is
white, at others gray, black or blue.
The dorsal and anal fins are remarka-
bly, large, hence its generic name
macro, large; podus. fin or foot. Both
fins are shaped alike and are striped
with brown and bOrdered with bright
blue. The dull colored ventral fins are
protected By a, brilliant scarlet colored
spine, extending three-fourths of an
inch behind the body of the fin. The
pectoral fins are well shaped, but trans
parent and colorless.

THE LATEST IN MICROBES.

Lives In Ink Wells and Bottles and
Is Considered Dangerous.
The Berlin correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger and Times
writes that in Germany n new mi
crobe has recently been discovered, and
a very dangerous one it is said to be.
Only in inkstands and ink bottles is it,
found, and for this reason it is known
as the ink microbe. Vessels which con-
tain ink and which are seldom cleansed.
or corked furnish a most congenial
home for it.
Ink infected with this microbe was
recently injected into rats and guinea
pigs, and as a result the animals
speedily died. Fortunately there is an
easy way to get rid of this pest, and
that is by keeping ones inkstand clean
and covered.

Effective, but Dangerous.

To cleanse glass vases, carafes or bot
ties of any sort nothing is better than a
little muriatic acid. A tablespoonful
rinsed slowly around in n vase or de-
canter will cleanse it thoroughly, re-
moving from the glass every particle of
foreign matter. The acid can then be
poured into another vase to perform
the same Office and even then returned
to the bottle of supply for service on
another occasion. After the acid is out
of the vase or bottle the latter must
be rinsed inside thoroughly first with
hot soapsuds and then in several clear
waters. AIuratic acid is n deadly poi
son and must be used with great eau
ton and only by an intelligent adult.

cry In the Philippines.
james p. Otterman, a civilian scout
with the American army in the Phil
ippines, writing from Malabang. Min
danao. to the Kansas City Star. saws:
SIN honor of some of the Kansas
boys 1 wish to say that our state is al
ways at the front in all that may oc-
cur. At Bayou on May ., while the
little body of brave Americans under
Colonel Baldwin were contending
against the heather horde of savage
Moros, numbering ten to one, Kansas
was well represented in those thin
ranks, and on that fearful day three
brave Kansas boys made their name
famous in the history of the war
against the lake Moros. The fort was
surrounded by deep bitches, and these
We're lined with layers of sharpened
bamboo that were impossible to pass.
The wall of the fort was only twenty
feet from these trenches, and when
once over the trench the Americans
were at the mercy of the savages, for
no one could scale this wall under such
a fire as was poured upon them.
''But three men of the small body
that surrounded the fort did jump
these trenches and attempt to scale the
wall of the fortress under the most
deadly fire that could be poured into
men from the old Remington rifles and
thrown bolos and the antique artillery
that was upon the walls of the fort.
These three-Kansas boys every one Of
them-climbed upon each others shoul-
ders and fired their rifles into the port
holes in the fort and withstood all till
dark came on and allowed them to re-
treat to the line of trenches occupied
by the command. This was the bray
est act that was ever witnessed by any
man in modern times, and these three
men are recommended for medals of
honor by the brigade commander, Gen
eral Davis Their names are well
known in the respective cities they
came -Quartermaster Sergeant
James L. Greene is from ChetOpa, and
Robert T. Wood, musician of the
Twenty-sev is from Cherryvale
and has been for four years here in

Waller, was originally from OswegO,

PARIS TO NEW YORK BY RAIL
Explorer De VVIndt Suggests N Route
by the BerinG Tunnel.

Explorer De VVindt Suggests Route
by the BerinG Tunnel.
Il believe absolutely in an all rail
route from Paris to New York." said
Harry De Windt, the explorer, who
reached New York city early the other
morning, having made the trip from
Paris by an all land route, except for
Boring strait. in 2fS days. says the
New York Tribune. THAT railroad
plan is absolutely feasible. The chief
difficulty will be at Boring strait, but
this can be overcome with comparative
ease by the building of a tunnel. \ lot
of fools over in France have been talk
ing about Il bridge, but this is ridicu-
lous. for the ice moves four miles an
hour, and it would never hold such n
structure. I've just been there, and L
know. If the money is forthcoming for
this road, and L believe the funds will
be secured, then it viii be completed
in twelve years. In another ten years
the line will pay for Itself
Mr.. De Windt said he would not re-
peat the trip for anything. One fear
full experience of his previous trip in
1S96-his forty-seven day visit with
the Tchuktchees-he said he avoided
this time by going 300 miles to the
north of that tribe. In 1885, he
said, they stole all my tins and in
instruments, and they kept me eating
raw seal meat while they RECALLED
themselves with my provisions.
During De Windt's narration Of his
experiences on his journey a drink
was placed before him in which
piece of ice clinked pleasantly against
the sides of the glass.
"Take it away, please" said Mr..
de Windt. Take it away and bring
me something without any ice in it.
I've had enough of that substance to
satisfy me all my life"

Mounting n Horse.

A careful bicyclist learns to mount
from either side of the wheel, since the
emergency may arise at any moment,
says the London Chronicle One would
think that the horseman would be
equally careful to provide for POSSIBLE
tiles and accustom himself to mount
ing indifferently from the off side and
the near side. But if he were to ven
ture to mount on the right side-which
is the wrong side-in n hotel stable
yard the hostler would probably de
maId the price of a gallon as the
statutory fine, and the horse would col
lapse with surprise. What is the
meaning of this convention? 1t ap-
pears in odd places. Not only does
the trick horse in the circus canter
from right to left, but the after dinner
wine passes the same way. The way
of the SUM- is the current explanation,
which is absurd.

Pnper Hunting.

One of the most exciting of all rid
ing games is paper hunting, or follow
ing n trail made by dropping pieces of
paper 1t can be made as dangerous
as Steeplechasing or no more so than
an ordinary gallop over the fields. The
danger is in the fences to be ridden
over, says Country Life In America.
There is no limit to the pace but the
speed of the leading horse and the ne
cessity of keeping the trail. The hare"
as the man a-horseback who lays the
trail is called, is expected to foil his
pursuers. the hounds" as often as he
can by the arts of the fox or by his
own ingenuity, only restricted by GER
tain rules of the game.

TWO DECORATIONS.
From Hays EaIoEy on Mckinley and
RInine,s EuIOgy ON Garfield.

From Hays EatoEy on uct1nley ana
BIaine's EuIOEy on Garfield.
Tt is a curious coincidence that on
Feb. 81. 1882, and on Feb. 81, 1902, a
secretary of state of a murdered presi-
dent delivered q eulogy of his dead
chief before the houses of congress.
Mr.. Hay, primarily writer, showed
the essayist in his Grafton on McKin-
ley. Mr.. Blaine, primarily speaker,
showed the orator in his grafton on
Garfield. Here is the peroration of
Hays eulogy of Mckinley:
There is not one of US but feels prouder
OF his native land because the august fig
ure of Washington presided over it's be-
ginnings; no one but vows 1t a tenderer
love because Lincoln poured out his blood
for 1t; no one but must feel his devotion
for his country renewed and kindled when
he remembers how Mckinley loved re-
vered and served it, showed in his life
how citizen should live and in his last
hour taught US how n gentleman could
die.
Blaine's grafton on Garfield ended
with this famous passage:
AS the end drew near his early craving
for the sea returned. The stately man.
sion of power had been to him the weari-
some hospital of pain and he begged to
be taken from his prison walls, from its
oppressive, sitting air, from its home
lessness and it's hopelessnCss. Gently, ST.
Iently. the love of great people bore the
pale sufferer to the longed for healing of
the sea to live or to die as God should
will. within sight of the heaving pillows
within sound of its manifold voices With
a wan feVered face, tenderly lifted to
the cooling breeze, he looked out wistful-
" upon the oceans changing wonders on
its far sails on it's restless waves rolling
shoreward TO break and die beneath the
MONDAY sun; on the red clouds of even
ing archng low to the horizon: on the
serene and shining pathway of the stars.
Let us think that his dying eyes read
mystic meaning which only the rapt and
parting soul may know. Let us believe
that in the silence of the receding world
he heard the great waves breaking on a
farther shore and felt already upon HIS
wasted brow the breath of the eternal
morning
