RENTS OUT HIS HENS.
Enterprising Manayunk, Pa, Liv-
eryman Finds It More Profit
able Than Chicken Raising.

Renting out clucking hens is the new
business venture of well known Mana
yunk Iiveryman, and he finds 1t more
profitable than chicken-raising says the
Philadelphia Record. The liveryman,
finding that his hens were beginning to
set very early. and not having had first
class luck in the poultry business in
former years. posted a placard announc-
ing the rental of his "cluckers' at IS
cents for the season. The scheme was a
great success, and in short time the
demand was greater than the supply.
He fed all the hens with food mixed with
red pepper to make them set, and finally
took to the woods for more "cluckers. -
He travelled up through Montgomery
county purchasing laying hens at low
prices, and at present has rented out
nearly 100. In calculating his profits on
the scheme he claims he saved the feed,
gets IS cents head for the hens' use
and will have them to sell in the fall.

4 INDUSTRIOUS IOWA GOOSE



Harry Pinkham, q Nevada (Ia,) horse
man. owns Toulouse goose which Is
a monstrosity, and which has attracted
a great deal of attention on account OF
its great sire. The goose weighs LA
pounds, stands over two feet high, and
lays an egg az large around as an or
binary carafe. The fowl has been ex-
hibited by Mr., Pinkham at several of
the live stock shows, and has always at
tracted attention. 1t Is the intention Of
Mr.. Pinkham to take the goose to the
st. Louis eKpositipn and have II exhib-
tied with the great poultry exhibit to be
arranged during the summer.
The weight OF this goose was so great
that the web feet became crippled, and
IN order that the fowl might easily walk
over the frozen ground this winter Mr..
Pinkham had made for it pair of rub
Der shoes which had been made to At
exactly upon the two web feet, and with
this artificial aid the goose gets about
on the ice and the hard ground quite
we'll. With one OF the eggs which the
goose recently laid a Nevada boarding
house keeper made fourteen custard

The nations of the earth have been
long trying to get together in the
matter of an international postal I'M
ion, says a writer in n New York pa
per. The idea was suggested by Mr.
Blair as far back as 1862. Al congress
represented by twenty-five govern
ments convened at Berlin in 1874, and
the agitation has never ceased. Final
~ the Universal postal union was
formed, and now covers sixty-three
countries and territory comprising
nearly all the civilized world. Its
territory extends over a thousand mil
lion people, and in 1898 the total num-
Der of letters dispatched by this or
ganization amounted to over eleven
million. AS between the rates charg-
ed by this universal union and those
demanded by the United States, there
is every advantage on the side Of a
union comprising the united world
The United States not only charges
much heavier postage, but the Uni
versal postal union requires free de-
livery everywhere. So in all the
principal advantages which have been
anticipated through advanced liberal
ity of the postal service they have
been secured by the Universal postal
union. whereas the United States has
only adopted them grudgingly and
sparingly The president and post
master general have absolute power
to regulate our postal relations, but
considering the liberality of foreign
nations, they are far behind the rest
of the world in matter that most
intimately concerns the welfare of
the people.

money, which she can use for at least
q week, and sometimes much longer.
BY the time she has to take these out for
delivery she has another lot which she

keeps the money indefinitely. A wash

MONDAY, MAY 8, 1904.

1t appears. says an exchange,
that there Is coal In the
United Kingdom to the depth of 1000
feet, sufficient, at about the present
rate of output, to suffice for 871 years,
but that this period will be consider
ably extended seeing that there is
every probability that mining can be
carried on to depth of 1000 feet,
though at this depth there will not be
anything like the area of coal that
there is at the former limit 1t is
also reasonable to suppose that this
period of supply may be still further
extended by more economical use
of fuel. due to the establishment of
central electrical supply stations and
the utilization of Mond and other gas
producing processes and of gas-dr1ven
engines, as well as other means of OBJ
tanning higher percentage OF the

Much is said in the papers about

Of their spelling, writes one editor
Many college men, as proved by their
essays, cannot spell, They frequently
make the mistake of transforming
writing into writing, and of dIhing
into dinning IAN echo probably of the
noise Of college dining room, But
poor spelling is not confined to college
students. College professors are not
free from the blame. A letter lies be-
fore the writer In which the distin-
guished head of most important de-
partment in an American college de-
clares that a certain candidate whom
he has recommended is competant. A
New England college composer has
recently said that in making applica-
tons for place In English several
candidates wrote of the salery.

MACHINE TO BLOW GLASS.

One of the Most Marvellous Contriv-
ances in the World of Industry.
Glass has at last been successfully
blown by machinery and, as has gen.
orally been the case when mechanical
means supersede hand methods, all
feats of hand-blowing have been out
done.
The secret Of the remarkable inven-
ton is still hidden, bat specimens Of
tie work done have been shown. The
cylinders are Of immense size, the larg-
est being thirty inches in diameter and
nineteen feet long.
The new machine is the invention Of
John A. Lubbers, glassblower Of AL
legheny, Pa. 1t has been built at the
Alexandria, Ind, branch of the Ameri-
can Window Glass Company's plant.
The process of blowing window glass
Is simple in theory. but difficult in
practice. On the end Of long tube
a mass Of molten glass is collected.
This is then heated In a furnace and
gradually distended by blowing into
large tube with straight sides.
To accomplish this without the pecu-
liar twisting and manipulation employ
ed by the human glassblower has puz-
zled many clever inventors, and the
Lubbers machine was made successful
only after great many experiments.
Lubbers has invented several labor
81 wing devices and this latest triumph
ia likely to make him many times a
millionaire when it L. generally in

Skilled mechanics from the Westing-
house factories In Pittsburg have been
working behind barred gates and high
walls for months in the erection and
installation Of the machines, which no
man other than old and skilled en-
ployes of the company was allowed to
see.
Patents have not yet been granted
on certain parts Of the machines and
therefore the secrecy.
So confident is the company of the
merits of the machine that It is pre-
pairing to spend thousands Of dollars
in its installation in all of the forty

parts OF the country.
