ROLLER ENGINES NEW USE.
Machine Employed to Drag Stalled
Trucks up Steep Hill.

Trucks up Steep Hill.
There is roller engine weighing
several tons, which was built to
smooth out the asphalt streets, but
has found another field of usefulness
with it's enormous power. 1t has been
stationed for some time near Maiden
lane and Nassau street, where there
has been repair work in the pavement.
This has been remarkably slow in
its completion because the engine has
found another sphere Of utility
Every now and then a heavy truck
will be stalled on the steep hill There
will be bad tangle of wagons and
lighter vehicles. The street will be
practically blocked, and the only way
to complete the work on the asphalt
pavement is to break up the conges-
ton OIL the street traffic.
The engineer of the big machine
will stop his utomobiling backward
and forward over a new patch. A
heavy rope will be attached to the
engine and then made fast to the pole
of the stalled wagon. This always
causes a gathering of brokers and 9th
ers, who are so busy that they cannot
help wasting a little time to see the
roller engine go to the rescue.
No matter how heavy the truck
when the engineer puts on the pow
er, truck, tired horses, and driver, will
be pulled ur the hill to a place where
they can start anew On their journey.
When all the trucks have been drawn
up the hill the engineer in nine cases
out of ten has to smooth out their
tracks in the soft asphalt. It is said
by those who watch that the horses
have learned of the helpful roller en-
CINE. and that they LOW stop and pre-
tend to be unable to draw their loads
at the sight of the engine. There is no
telling when the work of repairing the
asphalt pavement will be finished

COTTON-SEED HULLS.
They are Now Converted Into Soft
and Tough Paper.

The success of the Pettibone Catar-
act company at Niagara Falls in max
Ing paper from cotton-seed bulls
means a great deal for the South. The
experiment of this company with bulls
produced soft and tough paper, and
the opinion was expressed that a good
quality OF writing paper could be
manufactured from the Southern
product.
1t has always been held that cotton
seed hulls were we'll adapted for the
manufacture of paper, but, as in the
case of bagasse, nothing has hereto
fore been done to put this belief into
practical effect The recent search
for paper stock has, as The Times
Democrat has shown, brought about a
thorough examination of all the mate
rlals that seem adapted to this indus
try. Three Of these materials prOduc-
cd wholly in the South have specially
recommended mselves-bagasse or
crushed sugar cane, rice straw and
cOtton-seed bulls. Two paper mills
are already converting bagasse into
paper, and the industry is in SO prom
Using a condition that we can foresee
the day when all the crushed cane of
the sugar district will find it's way to
the mill One paper mill for the utili-
cation of rice straw in the manufac-
ture of paper has been provided for.
Less progress has been made in utiliz-
ing the cottOn-seed bulls for paper
making, but the experiments at Mia
CARA hold out great promise for the
future. If the hulls prove all that is
hoped for, it is, of course, the great
est of all the discoveries in the indus
try of paper making, as cotton-seed
bulls are not, like bagasse and rice
straw, limited to comparatively
small section, but are produced
throughout the South. With these
three materials for the manufacture of
paper fully utilized, we have every
reason to believe that the South will
become the center of the American
paper industry.-New York Times
Democrat.

HINT FOR THE VOCALISTS.
They Should Go Out on a Farm and
Try to Drive Oxen.

-Four or five years ago." said a
northern Michigan farmer, who was
talking to a Detroiter the other week,
"a Chicago man happened to be in my
neighbOrhOOd on business 1t somehow
came out that he had a son who had
just lost his voice, and, meeting the
father, | said to him:
If it's true that your son has lost
his voice you might send him up here
for few weeks
What for?' said he
To find his voice., says I.
How can he do it?'
I'll set him to driving oxen
Il told him l had known of lost
voices being restored that way, and af-
ter thinking it over, he said he'd send
the son along. The young Teller arriv-
ed the next week, and his was a bad
case. He couldn't speak to be heard
five feet away.
II had a yoke of oxen that were up
to all kinds of mean tricks, and moth
ing but yelling would make 'em pull
over 100 pounds. had the young fell
Ter use 'em to draw up jags of wood
and haul fence rails where they were
wanted, and he got along all right for
a week.
''Then l set him to haul some timber
out of the woods, and l went into hid
ing to see the fun. When he started the
oxen up they barely Strengthened the
chain. He put on the CAD, but it was
no use. What them oxen was used to
was yells and whoops and cusswords,
and they meant to have 'em or stand
right there.
THAT chap put on the CAD and jump
ed up and down and threw stones and
clubs, but the oxen just looked at him
and chewed their cuds. He worked at
em for full hour, gettin' madden and
madden all the time, and there were
tears in his eyes and he was jumpin'
On his hat, when he suddenly busted
out wearin'.
His voice came to him all of a sud-
den, and the way he did go on was aw-
full to hear. He called them critters a
hundred bad names, and he cussed 'em
from horns to hoofs, and even folks
goin' by on the road stopped to listen.
1.-The oxen were too surprised to
move for ten minutes, but all at once
they heaved ahead and went off on the
run with a stick of timber sixteen feet
long. 1t was sudden and complete
cure for what allied the young man.
He wanted to stay for week or
two longer, to be sure that he had act
ually got his voice back, but I turned
him off next day. Had to do it, you see

LoNELIEST OF ALL COLONIES.
Tristan da Cunha, Far to the South of
st. Helena.

One of the smallest and probably the
lOneliest fthe British colonies is iris
tan de Cunha, a high, rocky island
twenty-one miles in circumference.
which lies about $500 miles west Of the
Cape of Good Hope, and far to the
south of ST. Helena. The population is
about seventy souls and it is the Gus
tom of the British government to send
a warship there once every twelve
months, with stores, mail, and presents
from home. On this annual trip, his
majesty's ship Thrush has Just left
Portsmouth. When Napoleon was a.
prisoner at st. Helena the island was
garrisoned by artillerymen, and the
present settlement was founded by
three soldiers who remained and were
afterwards joined by whalers, the
women going out from England. The
government is socialistic, the head man
or ruler being a patriarch named Pc
ter Green. Whisky or beer drinking is
unknown, and up to a few years ago
tobacco was never used The islanders
live by cattle and sheep, their vegetable
gardens and orchards, and barter with
passing ships The pests of the island
are rats and wild cats, and the rats are
said to be so numerous that they kill
the cats. In the last cargo sent out from
England were three terriers and can

some country fair.
But Lady Raglan has always been
extremely odd, and when, a few years
ago, an INSCRIPTIONS London dentist
attempted to overcharge her for set
of false teeth, she preferred to go to
law about the matter and to submit to
no end Of publicity in connection with
the affair, rather than to allow her
