sons Grove. They came in by way of
Buck Grove and Coon Grove, and final
ly reached the south bank of the e ,st
Boyer River, in what is now the city of
Denison. The river being too deep to
ford, they camped on the bottom and
set to work to build bridge hfter a
few days of ..aro work they finished
their bridge just at night. ready to go
over the next morning. They slept on
the ground and ia the WAGONS. Dunng
the night q tremendous down pour OF
rain came; the river oYeraowed the boz
tom, and before they were aw re of it,
the water was in and around their beds
and wagons. and they were compelled
to flee in the dark to the hill south of
their camp. Although they lost thea.
bridge. they s on had another, and sue
cessfully completed their journey to
Mason's Grove. Mason settling on the
east side of the grove, and Skinner on

Samuel Maxim, brother OF the
Maxim of rapid fire gun fame, has
made a discovery in process for
producing steel which has remark
able qualities. Mr.. Maxim is a farm
er who lives in Maine. For some time
he has been experimenting with vari-
GUS methods for making blades which
will vie with the Damascus blade of
immortal fame.
After reading some old Hindoo
books he constructed a forge on the
Indian plan, and from this produced
an ingot which he forged into a
rough drill. This drill bored an iron
file as easily as If 1t had been a piece
of wood. Tried with scale of metals
gradually increasing in hardness, this
drill penetrated them all. not stopping
at the best steel obtainable. In case
this steel should prove to be like that
Of the ancients 1t will open q vast
neld Of possibilities.

The Just-Hatmaker milk-drying ma
chine is extremely simple. The cyiin-
ders are heated by steam to 4 surface
temperature Of about z30 degrees
Fahrenheit. They are separated from
each other about one-eighth of an
inch and revolve inversely, making
about six revolutions q minute. The
milk to be dried IL fed continuously
upon the revolving cylinders and.
passing between them, is spread in q
thin, uniform layer upon the surface
OF each cylinder. The milk solids are
then removed in continuous sheets. as
the cylinders revolve. by stripping
knives held in contact with the cylin-
ders. BY this process milk il reduced
to dryness In less than thirty seconds

Peacock Feather peeor.t,on,.

Though the peacock feather is con-
sidered unlucky. 1t is lending itself to
many forms of fashionable decoration.

and. aided by sapphire and emerald,

brooches. hat pins and belt pins in
peacock feather form. Now the max

Church Property In Scotland.

A Judgment recently delivered in the
House of Lords has produced conster-
nation in Scotland, and as a result Of
It there will probably be a great relig-
ious upheaval.
In October. 1900, there occurred the
famous union Of the Free Church Of
Scotland with the United Presbyterian
Church. Twenty-four Free Church
ministers opposed the union. and
through the Scotch courts and the
House Of Lords have fought their claim
to the whole property Of the Free
Church.
The courts rejected the claim, but
the House of Lords. by q majority Of

the fingers ON the keys. And with 4
few minor improvements, which have
not changed the principle Of the In
vention, 1t has filled an important
place in the business world. 1t has
always been necessary to depress the
keys sufficiently to throw the type-bar
against the hiking ribbon and leave
its impression on the paper. this ac-
ton releasing universal bar to allow
the carriage to move forward one
space as each letter is printed. Now
1t is done by the aid Of the electric
current. Each rod proposed to do all
this work automatically which oper-
ates type-bar, is now connected with
a little electro-magnet and as soon as
the current enters any coil Its cores
ponding rod is thrown forward Just far
meath the edge of the central disk as
shown. Just as this connection. is
made the passage Of the electric cur
-ent through another electro.mcgnet
depresses the disk. pulling the rod
down and striking the type face on
tho paper as though 1t were done by
the depression of key with the fin
ger. To form the connection between
the individual magnets and the oper.
ating mechanism the writer wears a
set OF metallic thimbles on the fingers,
which are wired to the source of the
electric current. The instant connec
tion is made with one of the metallic
plates on the keyboard the current
passes through the plate into the cor
responding magnet and hence to the
disk in the center of the lachine.
