Solves Dinicult Probe ms.

Senior Torres, an ingenious engineer
Of Madrid, has invented little ma
chine which is described as the most
curious of its kind that has ever been
fashioned. 1t is mechanical device
for the solution Of mathematical ques-
tions. Those who have tested it say
that within thirty seconds it can solve
the most difficult equation that can be
framed.
The apparatus looks like an ordinary
mill for grinding coffee, its component
parts being crank and a number of
copper wheels. When an equation is
to Ee solved the crank is turned, and
in eight Or ten revolutions the solution
Is arrived at

Always Ready for a Fire,

While the small chemical fire extin-
guishers usually found in factories and
public buildings may render valuable
assistance in extinguishing an incipi-
ent blaze, yet their practical value de-
pends largely on whether the person
who happens to be at hand knows how
to manipulate the valves or can learn
in time to quench the flames before
their headway is too great. A chemi-
cal engine which would automatically
combine the elements contained in the
tanl. as the latter was removed from
its bracket would not only save time
but would be simple in comparison to
the hand-operated valve. The idea has

Hutchinss and Oscar c. Wiesner OF
Kansas City, Mo. The Improvement
consists of slanting bracket located
directly over the piston of the acid
cylinder, in order that when the tank
is pulled from its shelf after the straps
are adjusted the piston will be de-
pressed and force the acid to mix with
the contents of the tank Thus all It
is necessary for the operator to do is
to slip his arms through the straps
and start for the fire, and the extin-
guisher will be ready for use when it
arrives.

New Hot Water bag.

Having noticed that the principal
defect in the ordinary hot water bag
is the necessity of replenishing the
water from time to time, st. Louis
man has invented an arrangement to
be connected with an ordinary lamp
as shown in the illustration, whereby
pipe, which fits at its center in coil

face Of the lock is lifted by the finger
to throw the bolt and allow the holder
to be opened for the insertion or re-
moval or the book. and spring in the
hinge shuts the receptacle as soon as
released by the hand In order to pre-
vent the device closing with an un-

Alloy Important Metals.

Nickel and aluminium have been dif-
ficult to alloy on account of the differ
ence between their melting points,
which are 1,450 degrees and 600 de-
grees respectively. A Berlin manufac-
turer has overcome the difficulty by
special furnace, and in one case by
adding copper. with an intermediate
melting point. "Nickel-aluminum"
contains nickel and copper, with alumi-
mum in greatest proportion, the specific
gravity being 2.S6. 1t can be rolled
into sheets, and has tensile strength
Of 1872 tons per square inch. "Minckin"
seems to contain more nickel than the
26 per cent OF new silver" and Is
gaining favor for its resistance to cor
royson by weak acids. etc.

to prevent the closet from tipping over

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Land cannot be too rich or too mel
low for fruits.
Manure for the garden should be free
from weed seeds.
The head of tree needs to be fairly
open to admit sun and air for full
growth Of fruit.
The dahlias will never disappoint
you. Pink. white. yellow or crimson,
tall, dwarf or cactus. it is bound to
flower.
In the fall after the leaves have
dropped is generally the best time for
taking cuttings from ounces, but they
may be taken later.
Heliotrope should not be mixed with
other cut flowers in water. They de-
cay quickly and have a harmful effect
upon the other blossoms.
Myosotis forgetmenoD needs partial
shading, but not the shade Of a tree.
Plant among taller flowers or around
rosebushes, and it will do we'll.
Plenty of yellow blossoms should be
secured for places which lack sun

situation and is the cheeriest Of tones.
Good cultivation causes an abun-
dance Of fbrous roots to be made. The
growth of any plant is largely meas

Pay Youg Poll Tax.

Assistant Attorney General Gun
ter, at the request of Mr.. Thomas
G.. White, magistrate for Beaufort
county, has prepared the following
opinion of some public interest in
regard to the poll tax:
Dear Sir: Your request to be ad-
vised whether person liable to poll
tax, but whose name does not appear
on the County Treasurer's books, is
liable to arrest for non-payment Of
poll tax: Section 1872, of the Crimi-
nal Code of 1902, imposes penalty
upon any person failing or refusing
to pay his poll tax, etc. Sec. ga,
page 780, Act Of 1901, makes clearly
like provision. It, is, therefore q
criminal action, imposing penalty
for non-psyment of the poll tax
Section 5-A defines taxable poll as
being all male persons between the
ages of 81 to so. It follows, there
fore, that all persons falling within
this definition are liable to poll tax,
the non-payment of which subjects
them to a penalty, whether their
names appear on the tax books or
not. The proceeding may be insti-
gated by any person, just as any
other criminal proceeding. (See
Rodgers vs.. Marlboro county, 80
South Carolina, 555).

FRANCES WIZARDS MEMORY.
HOnOred Throughout World by
Members of w. c. Il. L.


A memorial service in memory of
Frances L. Willard, late president of
the w. c. T. u, was held by the local
branch of the w. C. T. U. in the Chris
tan Church last night. 1t as presided
over by Mrs. Richard Webb, president
of the w. c. T. u. who also delivered
one of the chief addresses of the even
ing, telling of the last hours of Miss
Willard, and telling, also, that the most
fitting way in which the memory of the
departed leader could be commemor-
ated was not by raising a monument,
but by the extension of the work to
which she had given the best years and
efforts of her life
There were a number of other short
addresses dealing with the life and
work of Miss Willard and the work of
the w. c. T. U. The meeting was be-
gun by a prayer offered by Rev. P H.
Duncan, pastor of the church. A num-
Der of hymns were sung and there was
a recitation, dealing with the temper
ance question, called Which Shall 1t
Be" delivered by Master Bythewood.
Miss Willard. who may be said to
have placed the w. c. T. U. where
it now stands with a membership of
over 100000, enlisted in unions all over
the world. was born near Rochester,
N. Y, in 1889. She was educated in
the Northwestern Female College,
Evanston, ILL.,. and afterwards Travelled
in Europe. In 1876 she returned to
this country and, refusing many prof
table and honorable offices, accepted
the presidency of the w. c. T. T.,
position that she retained until her
death, Feb. II, 1898
Yesterday, the anniversary of her
death, was marked by memorial SER
vices wherever, throughout the world,
there is a union of the society.
