MOVING BY Cash CARRIER.
%. Louis Hardware Merchant Uses
Novel Method 90 transfer Goods
90 New Store

We have heard Of many novel uses
20 which the overhead carrier system
has been put, but probably the most In
genious Of them all Is that Of st. Louis
hardware merchant, who moved the
greatest part Of his stock from one store
to another, which was located on the
other side Of the street, almost directly
opposite, relates the Scientific Amer
lean.
A steal cable one and one-half inches
thick and tested for 600 pounds, was
thrown ACROSS the street from the win
dow Of one establishment 10 the other, q
span Of 81 feet On this there was
strung q steel box and a. the goods were
taken from the shelves IN one establish
ment they were placed In boxes and
marked.
These were loaded into the cage. Gray-
fly carried the load across the street.,
and the box was brought back by the
cid Of q hand windlass.
The steal box made q round trip every
minute, and the daily average was 500
per day. The average load was 800
pounds.
II this manner al thsshelf goods were
handled, and the operation was per-
formed without the slightest confusion,
the goods practically going direct from
ths.plaes in the old store TO their per-
manent location IN the new establish

calculation. The celebrated as

the end of the sixteenth and beginning
of the seventh century. found there
was a conjunction of the three planets,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, in the sign
Pisces, which is the sign of Judea, in
A. u. c. 74S. This conjunction he as
sumed to be the Star of Bethlehem,
and accordingly fixed the year of
Christ's birth at the date of the con-
junction Other calculations on the

A U. c., or B. c. 4.
But if there are slight differences
and consequent doubt in the exact
year in which the Savior of mankind
was born, there appears to be nc
doubt as to the day of the month on
which the miraculous event occurred,
viz, Dec. 25.
That the day was observed from
the very first is beyond question
not universally observed, however.
But the exceptions do not in the least
invalidate the date of Dec. 25. 1t is
true that the local churches of Pales-
