INVENTIVE INGENUITY.

A Pittsburg man has invented ma chine that will make and bake 40 pies a minute. Among the latest inventions patent cd Is a contrivance which, fitted to an ordinary sewing machine, will fan and massage the operator while she is working.
 An Italian engineer has invented a successful elevator for raising sunken vessels. It consists Of compressed air chambers of canvas and wire, each equal to a lifting ;apacity of 60 tons, and it is possible to attach as many of these as may be necessary.
 Silicon. the most Ibundant metal in the world, but hitherto little known because of the difficulty of separating 1t from oxygen, has now been made obtainable in quantities to meet any demand by the electric furnace. It gives to steel valuable electrical prop critics, and is expected to assume im- portance in iron 1lloys.
 Greater contrast Ia photographs is claimed for a new single lens. which causes the picture 60 stand out in re- lief as under the two lenses of a stereo- scope. The Tense is oonvex-concaye, so that the axes of the rays from diff ferent parts of the picture meet in the eye. and the focal length should equal that of the camera taking the photograph. ....
 novel method of getting rid of black smoke and at the same time turning it to use Is adopted in some Belgian factories. The smoke is driven by fans into a porous recepta- ele, over which flows a stream of pe- troleum or similar liquid. The smoke is thus caught and turned into gas that gives great heat. and can be used for running gas engines. ..

BEFORE HISTORY BEGAN.
When People Resorted to Every Pos sible Means of Facilitating
 Transportation.

Prehistoric peoples were wanderers ana travellers. They evidently wanted to go somewhere and perfected the use of paths and began the use of roads, writes Charles Barnard. in Four-Track News They caught and trained all the beasts of burden. they clearly knew something of bridge building, under stood in a crude way the art of steer ing by the aid of the stars. and how to use the wind to hI their sails and to use ar oar to steer their boats.
 They invented in their narrow lan- gusge all the terms used in the trans portstion of their time. They made paths and the paths made them. Travel wfdered their ideas. gave them new outlooks on life. stimulated trade. in veutIor and discovery. brought distant tribes and peoples together. and made for peace. Paths. the river. and the sea were the great teachers of the early men. and transportation laid the foundation stones of civilization

plank, of which there were several near the dog. At the sight of the meat the half-starved animal uttered little bark of pleasure, and made for it rav- enously Hennessy watched ahxiously. Would his plan succeed? At last, to his great joy, the dog got completely inside the basket, and with shout of triumph he began to haul up the rope.
 For a few feet all went well. The Jog lay still, paying little heed to the gallant effort that was being made for its rescue. Then as the basket rose higher from the water, Hennessy no- ticed rope attacked to the collie's neck. It seemed to be dragging the animal down. and with a cry of dis may the boy saw his basket overturn hurling it's living burden back into the water.
 Once more Hennessy baited the bas- ket with the meat, and lowered it into he shaft Time after time the collie scrambled in, but each time the heavy weight, dragging at the end of the rope, caused the basket to overbalance.
 Thus two hours passed. Tired, but determined not to desert the drowning animal. the boy kept to his post. The shiyering animal seemed to know that he had friend in the boy.
 Another hour passed. But the dog was no nearer to being saved. The heavy weight was too bafling.
 At last, when he had begun. to de- spair of rescuing the animal, for the light was fast failing, the dog scram- bled inside-this time dragging in with It large stone.
 Again Hennessy pulled at the rope. as he had done hundred times that afternoon. The basket swayed from side to side. but the dog clung to it tightly with it's claws.
 Slowly 1t neared the surface. The pod did not dare to hope Victory had been near before, but never so near as now

A piteous howl startled Walter Hen nessy, boy living at Gorebridge, Mid lothian. He looked round Not soul Eas in sight, no animal, not even a bird. Yet there it was again-a deep, bng-drawn howl, apparently rising from the depths of the earth.
 Near by lay a disused shaft It was deep, and for some feet at the bottom aned with water. Running to the place the boy threw himself on the ground and peered into the gloomy depths. At hrst he could see little Then, his eyes becoming more accustomed to the darkness. he made out the bedraggled form of a collie.
 Seeing the boy. the dog whined plaintiyely. To Hennessy 1t sounded ss a mute appeal for help. and he rushed back to his home. In his mind he had formed a plan to save the drowning collie He wanted basket, long piece of rope and some meat
 Hayilk found these, he returned, breathless and excited. to the shaft

YANKEE MOTOR BOATS
FAST CRAFT WHICH WILL TRY
 FOR FOREIGN TROPHY.
Will Meet in the Contests to Be Held in September-British and French E Boats of Tremendous
 Power
Power.

America can build sailing yachts which can beat the world. but whether she will prove as successful when it comes to motor boats remains to be seen. Two craft are going to try for the Harmsworth challenge cup this fall They are the Challenger, owned by W. Gould Brokaw, and the Dixie. the special hope and pride of E. R. Thomas.
 Motor boat racing is of comparative ly recent date. and the development of this type of boat has received more at tention in Europe than in America up to the present time, and for this reason the chances are against the Yankee boats lifting the handsome prize. Just as in automobile racing. 1t has been found that French machines are speedier. and French motorists more skilled and daring So it may be found in regard to the motor boats.
 The famous British international trophy, which Is to be raced for by the motor boats. was given by Sir Alfred Hsrmsvorth. and Is an open challenge cup. It was won last year by the French boat Trehe a Quatre, which vas given the race, though beaten by the Napier Minor. because the latter had not been properly entered
 The first race this year Is fixed for September IT, and will be held fin the Bay of Arcachon. France. about g miles south Of Bordeaux
 The conditions of this race permit three boats from each country to try for the trophy. So much interest is csntered in the contest abroad that England and France have each entered more than their quota, and elimination
