HOSTING ROPES.
The Threads of Wire Upon Which
So Many Lives Daily Depend.

The Threads Of Wire Upon Which
So Many Lives Daily Depend.
While the longest ropes are used for
teresting data in connection with wire
ropes are obtained with their use for
hosting purposes. Hundreds of thou
sands of lives are literally each day
hung by small wire thread as the
men are lowered into and hoisted from
the bowels of the earth, and in many
cases the only means of communication
between the surface and the under
ground workings, which are from a
few feet to a mile in depth, is by q
comparatively small hosting rope
Think of hanging from the end of ca
BILE only few inches in diameter and
mile long, being hoisted at rate
which is faster than that of the aver
age railroad train, and some idea of the
hosting problem can be gained. To
the honor of the wire rope manufacture
ers it must be said that very few shaft
accidents are due to the breaking of
the rope, excepting where the cage is
are made upon the rope or which are
traceable to false economy on the part
OF the users of wire rope. No part of
a mining plant is more carefully in
spected and watched than the hosting
rope, and very few mine managers will
take any unnecessary risks in the
hosting Of men. The skill Of the wire
rope maker is taxed to the utmost to
provide ropes for hosting from great
depths. TO make rope Of practicable
size that will be sufficiently flexible
and that will bear even it's own weight
is no mean problem, for in such cases
the weight of the rope is often much
more than the material lifted; hence
we have taper rope intended to give
varying section dependent on the
amount of rope off the drum or reel

SETTING THE CLOCK FAST,
A Pleasant Sort of Deception Com
mon to Many People.

mon to Many People.
1t is common thing to find the
clocks in nine out of ten households
either fifteen minutes or half an hour
fast, and should you happen to be in a
hurry or mention the fact that you
have to be going you are at once reas-
sured by the fact that you have 10
cause to hurry, as the clock is so much
ahead of the time.
Has it ever occurred to you why
clocks are usually put ahead? Some
physicians have said it is due to lazi-
ness, for it is such a satisfaction to the
lazy man to find when he has to get
up at in the morning and strains his
half closed eyes to look at the clock
that it is half an hour fast and he has
so much more time to doze, with the
result that he oversleeps himself any
how and misses his train or boat.
Said matchmaker when asked
about the subject:
Eyes, it is peculiar thing with most
people to put their clocks fast, and,
while there may be some satisfaction
in it when it comes to doing a little
longer, there is really no advantage in
it. for when you wake up, say, at and
glance at the clock and it registers half
past 6, the fact remains that it is a
half hour fast. While this may make
you feel easier, knowing that you still
have thirty minutes to doze, confess
l don't see much advantage in it.
"Why not have the clock right? 1t is
the same thing in the end.
Suppose railroads were to put this
into practice, how many trains do you
think people would miss thereby? This
putting clocks fast is really only a
pleasant form of deception which peo-
pie like to practice on themselves, but
it does more harm than good.'-New
York Herald.

PRESIDENT AT PLAY
VACATION DIVERSIONS OF THE Ma
TONS CHIEF MAGISTRATE.

He and His Opponent, Judge Parker,
Both Devoted to Outdoor LIfe-The
! President Camps Ont With His Boys
and Enjoys ROuEhinS 1t.
Theodore Roosevelt is Il man VINO
thoroughly enjoys life. He does not
believe, with Russell Sage, in not tax
ing vacations. He is known as the
most strenuous Of presidents, yet he
enjoys immensely his summer rest
The energy which he puts into the dis
charge of his executive functions he
obtains through his vigorous exercise
and through being SO much out of
doors. Every day, year i'll and year
out, no matter what the condition of
official business or the state of the
weather, he manages TO obtain some
air and exercise, but during the hot
summer months the president plans to
devote the greater portion of his time
to life out of doors and TO recreatiOns
which both recruit his physical cner-
gics and distract his mind from the
heavy cares Of his high office.
1t is an interesting circumstance that
the candidates of both the great parties
for president this year are men who
are devoted to outdoor exercise and
who have been able to accomplish what
they have largely because of the physi-
cal energy they have gained from con-
slant communion with nature and use
OF their muscles under the open SKY
and In the light of the health giving
sun. Judge Alton i. Parker takes his
morning bath in the Hudson and his
horseback ride during the summer sea
son, and he forgets the cares of profess
sional and public life amid the pastoral
scenes of his farm at EsOpus. TheO-
dOre Roosevelt, with his family of boys
and girls about him at his summer
home at Oyster Bay ON Long Island, is
also a thorough champion of life in the
open. Active, agile, bubbling over with
spirits like boy out of school, always
ready for game or horseback ride
or u tramp over the hills and along the
picturesque Long Island shore, the
president of the United States shows
that he mt any rate believes in being
natural and human and getting all that

is TO be had from healthy, active, I'M
restrained enjoyment of summers va
cation.
Mrs. Roosevelt agrees with the presi-
dent in these ideas. She loves to be
her husbands companion and to enjoy
everything that he does, horseback rid
ing, driving. reading and study. she
does not find herself troubled with
ennui when the warm days Of midsum-
mcr are here. She is devoting much
time this summer to study of German
and TO botany. The president is
splendid lingulst and is especially pop
ular with the diplomatic corps because
he can converse with most of its mem
bers in their native tongue. Mrs.
Roosevelt hopes by next winter to be
as much ut ease in German as the
president. She is fine French scholar
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt are both fond
Of botany, and their out of door life
makes it natural for them to devote
time TO observation of flowers and
plants. When in Washington they are
accustomed to have daily strollS about
the White House grounds. in the
course of which they examine the
shrubs and plants.
Sycamore Hill, the Roosevelt home at
Oyster Bay, is conveniently located for
the enjoyment of short outings. Mr..
Roosevelt has been accustomed to 20
camping with the boys-Theodore jun
