The tobacco factories here are re-
ceiving handsome orders for their
products each day. The smoking to-
bacco business is better than ever
before, while the plug tobacco manu-
factories are handling as much as it
is possible for them. Loose leaf to-
bacco is scarce this week, and sales
at the warehouse are light. The un-
limited supply of rain is anything
but the proper thing for the farmers

CLOCK KlNDLES THE FIRE
Automatic Device Which is a
4f Blessing to Early Risers.

An automatic fire kinder, the oper
alton Of which is regulated by an ordi
nary alarm clock, will doubtless appea
to every person whose duties include
getting up early to start the fire in the
kitchen stove.
with this new contriyance installed
in house it is necessary, upon retiring
simply to assemble the fuel in the stove
or any fireplace, connect an attachment
to the clock and set the latter at any
required hour. When the alarm sounds
aefulminate is ignited, which, commune
eating with an infanmable substance
III the stove, range, furnace or CRATE,
Immediately starts the fire. By the
time the householderssis up the. fire is
burning briskly and the water IS boil
ing.
1T is claimed that these new devices
may be SO set that they will start fires
whenever wanted and thus have a
home thoroughly heated before the oc-
cupants stir from their beds. From the
back of the clock used in connection
with the automatic fire kinder extends
a shaft on which is mounted rotary
friction disk or pulley, the periphery Of
which is mllled or otherwise designed
to create friction when rotated in con-
tact with relatively stationary mem
'ber. BY the operation of pivotal arm
a lug and spring and other attachments
in connection with the rotary disk, this
entire external mechanism is set in mo-
tion when the alarm is released.
Instantly a fuse, with an easily ig-
nited illuminate at its end and held in
place in a slot opening against the fric-
ton wheel, is set afire. The flame,
properly confined within the metallic
slot, travels instantly over the fulml-
nate strand, which is saturated with a
free burning ingredient. The clock
may be set on a nearby shelf or on the
back Of the stove or a furnace projec-
tion. Saturday Evening Post.
