VIOLENT GALE SWEEPS
OVER BRITISH ISLES
LIoyds Reports Over Fifty Casualties
to Shipping and 100 Lives Are
Known to BE Lost.

London, Sept. 1.-THE British isles
were swept Friday by the most violent
gale In years, and the storm left
death and widespread ruin in it's
track. Telegraphic communication is
so disordered that an estimate of the
number of fatalities and of the dam
age is impossible, but at least 100 are
known to be dead, and 1t is feared
that the number of dead is much
greater.
Lloyds report over fifty serious cas-.
ualties to shipping. All sorts Of yes.
sells We're caught in the gale and many
foundered, several with their entire
crews. A great number of minor
craft is believed to be lost and the
bodies washed ashore continue to
swell the terrible list of fatalities.
The gale sprang up with sudden
fury from the southwest and the wind

continued for several hours.
All the coast towns suffered more
or less and the agricultural sections
in the interior report incalculable dam.
age owing to the late harvest. The
beautiful hop gardens of Kent have
been ruined and in many places the
valleys of the Thames and the Severn
are submerged, large numbers Of
sheep and cattle being drowned.
Great numbers of fine trees in the
parks of London and other cities were
torn up by the roots or stripped off
their branches, and the list of minor
damage and casualties is amazing. In
addition to the deaths from drowning.
reports from the island give many
fatalities resulting from various
causes incidental to the storm.

For Treating Small Shrubs.


orchards have been saved by this pro-
cess. The apparatus required con-
sists of force pump and large reser-
voir, and is usually transported on a
farm wagon or vehicle built for the
purpose. On the same principle,
though designed on a smaller scale,
IS the device shown in the picture,
which is intended for spraying berry
end currant bushes, as well as plants
and small shrubs generally. This
sprayer can be carried about in the
hand and its contents discharged from
The spraying nozzle at the end. To
tut the liquid under pressure and con-
Trol it's flow a piston has been at
tached to the sprayer, located in such
. position that it can be manipulated
by one finger of the hand which car
lies the machine. Upon applying the
nozzle to the affected plant or bush
and pulling the lever a few times
with the forefnger, a jet of the spray
ing liquid is forced out.

FLYING SPLINTER KILLS A MAN
Illinois Banker Struck In Eye by
Wood, Which Pierces Brain.

Edwardsville, ILL.,, Sept. 14.-Will-
lam Niemeyer Of Mount Olive, banker
and merchant, died at his home as the
result Of a wound by flying splinter.
Mr.. Niemeyer started home from the
postoffice and stopped on the sidewalk
to glance at a newspaper. He became
so absorbed that he did not notice the
approach of a runaway team. The
wagon the horses were dragging
struck against telegraph pole near
him with such force as to drive from
it large splinter. The point of the
splinter struck Mr.. Niemeyer in the
eye and penetrated so deeply as to
reach the brain.

Acetyiene Gas.

While acetylene gas has proven
wonderfully effective for many forms
of lighting, the same success has not
attended it's use for power or fuel pur-
poses, this being due to the fact that
it's heating value is out of proportion
to it's cost in comparison with other
fuels. Should carbide undergo the
material reduction in price which is
looked for, it may bring about a
change in this direction, however, and
make practical use of this gas for
both fuel and power purposes.

Marion, Ind, Sept. 1.-THE window
glass situation is said to be critical.
Prices have dropped 25 per cent, the
jobbers' combination has dissolved,
the manufacturers combinations are
tottering and, it is said; will be dis.

ing of a reduction of rs per cent in
the price of glass by some OF the
large jobbers the manufacturers will
be unable to operate their plants at
the high prices paid for material and

STANDARD OIL ACCUSED.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 8.-The Fort
Worth Telegram prints the most start.
ling story that has ever come out of
the Beaumont Oil fields, and states
that its informant Is one of the most
prominent men of Fort Worth, and
who has just returned from Beau.
mont.
This man declares that the Standard
Oil company has perpretrated most
gigantic swindle in the Beaumont
fields. and that positively established
details are just coming to light.
The independent oil companies OF
Beaumont are the victims, many of
which have been wrecked by the
Standards work. Recently some of
the leading men Of the wrecked or
injured companies determined to In.
yestigate, and in two days they raised
1000 with which to push the work.
The developments, II Is declared, are
simply astounding. IL Is shown that
the numerous oil wells that were ap-
parently ruined by salt water were
put in their bad condition by the
Standard Oil company's conspirators.
AS fast as a company went to the
wall its property was bought in by
the trust.
Byaccident, 1t Is claimed, the desper-
ate work of the Standard company
was recently discovered.
The Standard Oil company long ago
built a pipe line from Beaumont to
the Gulf Of Mexico. A pumping sta
tion was erected at Beaumont and an
other at the gulf. OIL was pumped
through the pipe line to the Gulf and
thence shipped to various parts of the
world. Suddenly many oil wells Of in
dependent companies had salt water in
them.
A curious superstition prevails in
the highlands Of Scotland, that IL cat
be carried in cart, and the wind blow
from 1t to the horses, the latter i'm.
mediately tire; and IL any part of the
drivers clothing be made from cat
skin, the hirses will feel as II they
were drawing a double burden.

Some of the healthiest and most

Combined Cane and Chair.

While there really seems to be
comparatively little use for the in
yention we Illustrate in the picture,
yet the designers of novelties continue
to turn them out, each a little differ
ent from the other and more or less
cumbersome and unhandy to carry
about. The chief difficulty in a de-
vice of this character is to supply a
seat Of sufficient strength to support
the person, without at the same time
involving the addition of so much ma
terial to the cane that it becomes too
heavy to be conveniently carried
about in the hand. The favorite meth
cd of designing this combination is to
split the stick and utilize the parts
to support canvas seat, the latter
being folded up and contained in the

A new use has been found for tele-
graph wires. DIR. Laska, Polish
meteorologlst, has studied the hum
mig sound they emit occasionally,
and has found that it is not caused by
the wind, as commonly supposed.
Eydam's observations, extending over
several years, show that these sounds
always indicate the approach of rain,

to the belief that they are in some
way caused by terrestrial vibrations
induced by meteorological changes.

Motor for the Bicycle.

The large majority of those who a
few years ago took up cycling as an
amusement have been unable to re-
place the bicycle with the automo-
bile, now that the latter has made it's
appearance. and have had to be con-
tent to stick to the wheel or find some
other form of pastime to afford eXer-
else and occupy their spare moments.
AS a slightly cheaper vehicle than
che regular horseles carriage, and a
number of these machines may be
seen every day in populated districts,
but heretofore no provision has been
made for attaching motor to the old
bicycle and it has been necessary to
provide an entirely new frame to car
ry the engine which propels the cycle.
The usual method of mounting the
motor for running the two-wheeled
machine is to place it in a circular
frame in the position occupied by the
crank shaft in the regular bicycle.
However, this is made unnecessary
by the invention which we illustrate,
which makes possible the use of the
old machine with motor attachment.
We would suggest, nevertheless, that
The rear wheel be replaced by one of
slightly stronger build, as the in

which may exist in spokes or rim. AS
