INCLINED ROLLING ROADS.
New Invention That Makes the Az
cent Of steep Hills Easy
for Teams.


A novel and important invention, tho
nrst rolling roadway ever built. has
recently been completed and placed In
operation In Cleveland. ny means Of
Il teams with heavy loada arc carried
up n 20-foot grade-torward t2O feet
and upward So feet In four minutes or
less. says the Columbus to) State Jour
nal.
In Cleveland. as In many other cities,
the wagon route for a large volume
OF heavy trafio Is necessarily MP sew
eral steep grades. The city proper Is
upon an elevation. and the docks and
several Of the principal railroad sta
tions are at the foot Of long lnciiues
over which several streets lead. On
Factory street, the site Of the hrst
roadway, the incline for many years
has been ~traversed by heavy laden
teams which climbed the grade al a
snail's pace n with great difficulty.
Under the new regime the team
draws It's load to the foot Of the roll
ing roadway and is carried TO the top
without any effort at all on the part
of the horses.
The rolling roadway Is a great end
less belt which is operated by means
Of electric power. and which weighs
80 tom II IS the invention Of Col Isaac
d. Smead. Of Cincinnati.
At the top Of the hill there Is a
small tower. IL is from this point that
the electric power is applied. when
the wagon have been clamped to the
roadway at the start the man in the
tower Is notified by means OF IN cleo.
trio signal. and the roadway begins TO
move at the rate Of some four miles
an hour.
Ten vehicles can be placed upon the
roadway at one time. The daily ca.
pacity Is about GOO vehicles. A toll OF
from ten TO % cents is charged. For
foot passengers two cents toll Is
charged.
Since the completion Of this road
way the railroads 4. the vicinity have
begun the erection Of a large ware
house and are planning to pun in ad-
ditional team tracks. The activities
in that locality have mor than dou-
bled.
Another roadway Of this kind Is 10
be built in the same city at Mandrake
street. at a cost of SIO0.O 600. While the
first one is built along the grade OF
the hill, this one will be suspended in
the air. The street will be extended
by the building Of an iron bridge and
the rolling roadway will be at a right
angle to this extension. There viii
be substantial iron supports IS feet
high and - feet apart under the via
duct.
An especially commendable feature OF
this new plan OF transportation is
that it is especially humane 30 horses

production 81 TIN la 1908,
During 1904 the production Of.
tin ore in the United States
amounted to 1859 short tons which
contained from 40 TO 40 per cent
Of metallic tin and were obtained
from near Cadney, South Caro-
lima, linton, South Dakota, and
Buck Creek, Alaslm
Nearly an Of this tin ore was
shipped TO England for smelling.
Although about 90 per cent Of the
tin produced in the world Is con,
sumed in the United States, there
has been practically no produc-
tion Of the metal in this country
until the last year or two.
During the last few years the
production of tin in the world has
not been equal to the demand, and
the accumulated stocks Of tin
that have been held in various
countries have become very much
diminished since 1869. One of
the chief reasons for this in
creasing demand for tin is the
large growth Of the canning in
dustry and the use of tin boxes
and cases in shipping sundry
articles.
On account of the demand for
tin and the high price il brings,
a new industry was started a few
years ago, which is known as
defining" tin scrap, and this
has now become of considerable
Importance in the United States.
Many hundred tons OF metallic
tin and chemical salts Of tin,
chiefly chlorides, are procured
each year from the chemical or
electrolytic treatment Of new tin
scrap, which is obtained from tin
can and fruit can factories.
On account of the value of the
metal tin, it is possible to work
very low-grade ores if they oc.
cur in quantity, and usually little
difficulty is experienced in clean
ing and concentrating a tin ore
70 as to obtain nearly pure con.
centrate. Cassiterite, a tin OK
ide is the usual tin ore. Although
the American production has
thus far been very small, il may
be the beginning Of what may be-
come an important industry in
this country.
DR.. Joseph Hyde Pratt, Of the
United States Geological Survey,
who has written q brief report
on the production of tin in 1904
for the Survey annual volume,
Mineral Resources of the Unit.
ed States, states That the total
production of tin in the world in
1904. exclusive of the production
in China, was o., 2i3 long tons.
THE product comes mainly from
the Malay States, Bankn and
Billion. Bolivia, England and
Australia A very small quanti-
~ is also produced in Austria,
Germany, Japan, Mexico, and
America There was a slight
decrease, amounting to 1850 long
tons, IN the estimated production
OF tin Ia 1904 as compared with
1908. The consumption OF tin Ia
1904 is estimated at approximate.
ly 90, 755 tons, which is 2512 tons
more than the actual production
The tin imported into the
United States for the fiscal year
lending June 30, 1904 amounted
81 lO,s32 short tons, valued at
s2l, 1851 Tho greater part Of
the tin consumed in the United
States is produced in the Malay
Peninsula.

tend to prosecute the case against the gov
eminent printing Office In the Police Court
for the alleged violation of the smoke law,
in order that, if the judge of the Police
Court holds that the law does not apply to
government buildings, as was held pre-
viously. the printing Office case may be
carried up to the Court of Appeals for
further judgment. There is now pending in
the Court of Appeals an appeal from the de-
cision of the Police Court in smoke case
against one of the government departments,
but the District authorities think that the
case now before the appeal court Is prob
ably not so strong as they desire for a
proper test of the law.
For some time the authorities have been
intending to select a case of violation of
the smoke law on the part of one of the
government buildings. which in their opin-
ion would be sufficiently strong and cover
all the points necessary In test case.
The health officer decided that the present
case against the government printing Office
VIII make good test case, and for this
reason this particular case has been Sc
iected as the basis for further proceedings

Algeria says it is probable that the districts
which may be reclaimed will support a pop
ulation of 900 900.
The report of the military department Of
the Sahara on the drilling Of artesian wells
during the fiscal year 10000 has just been
published. In the twelve months twenty
five wells were sunk, few old wells made
by digging were deepened, and also the
bore holes of several existing artesian
wells.
A well that yields 1000 quarts a minute
assures the irrigation Of about 5000 date
palms. Nearly one-half of the new wells
are yielding from / 600 to $500 quarts a
minute, and the remainder less than 900
quarts. Much of the drilling apparatus did
not permit boring to a sufficient depth.
With the improved machinery to be intro
duced at once, a much larger flow will be
obtained from many of the wells. Most OF
them are spouting wells. and in the others
pumping is necessary. as the water does not
rise quite to the surface. Fourteen old
wells in the Tuggurt district, that have
been deepened since 1902. are now yielding
from 1000 to 5000 gallons a minute. In
the past year only one of the drilling opera
tons failed to bring water.

Is Man a Chemical Productp


The professor of physiological chemistry
at the University Of Chicago gravely an
nounces that the present creation Of life
has been proved to be the result of purely
physico-chemical reactions. Certain chem
ical substances" he says. coming together
under certain conditions do and are bound
to produce life. There is no getting away
from facts, and the results of laboratory
experiments in regard to the production of
certain phenomena of life are convincing :"
Now this is not new discovery" Erudite
chemists long before the Chicago profess
sors announcement satisfied themselves
that certain very crude forms of life could
BE produced by chemical processes. The
chicago University pundit apparently elm
mates divine and vital force altogether.
The tadpole and the most highly developed
man are alike the products of physico-
chemical reactions. The same chemical
forces which make the brain of a Darwin,
Spencer. Tyndall or Gladstone make
the earthworm and the jellyfish. II this
were true mankind would still bark back to
the cry of the ages-Whence and whittier?
Who made the chemical constituents? That
Is question which not even Chicago
University professor seems able to answer.
If he could answer it he would doubtless
find that all his speculations about the
chemical origin of life are but vanity and
vexation of spirit. II he is convinced of
the truth of his discovery let him turn out
few men from his laboratory.

MAKING THE SAHARA BLOSSOM.
Water Underlies the Great Deserts Of
Africa.

From the New York Sum-
When Sir John Murray visited the north
ern Sahara five years ago he wrote that
one could hardly travel in that region with
out becoming enthusiastic over its CONNER
cial aspects There seemed to be no limit to
the amount Of water that might be OBJ
tanned by the sinking Of artesian wells.
Even the digging of ordinary wells had in
creased the cultivation of the date palm to
an enormous extent.
The fact has been recognized Tor more
than twenty years that there are Wide
areas of waters underlying the desert sur
face All the GASES fie in depressons Of
the surface. so that the water. in some
places. comes to the top: and in other
places it may be reached without great diff
ficulty by digging. The GASES exist only
where the underground waters are easily
obtained.
Several years ago the French became con-
WINGED that they might add new GASES to
the fertile areas by sinking artesian wells
in places where 1t Is difficult or impossible
to reach the water by digging. They be-
gan the experiment on small scale in the
Algerian Sahara. and have since extended
their operations into the desert far south
of the frontier of Algeria. The result has
been SO gratifying that they are now pre-
pairing to extend the work on large scale.

MENU FOR THE PAPER WEDDING.
Decorations for the First Anniversary
Celebration Are Made of Crepe Paper.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harpar's Bazar.
1t has sometimes been questioned whether
good taste warrants the social celebration
of wedding anniversaries and there is much
to be said on that side. If the burden of
giving and receiving gifts is imposed, or if
mere acquaintance are invited to help
celebrate what is in the nature of things a
more less family affair, then the obser-
vance of the day is better honored In its
breach. If, however. the keeping of ami
versaries Is not taken too seriously, If init
mate friends alone are asked to some rather
informal dinner luncheon or reception and
il presents are definitely understood not to
be expected (unless in the earlier anniver-
sarles. when they are usually absurdities).
then wedding anniversaries become times of
real interest and pleasure.
The first anniversary brings the paper
wedding. and 1t seems as though the pretty
crepe paper found In all the shops was es-
pecially designed for this. The drawing
room may have numbers of lamps and can
dies with frills of rose or scarlet; the card
tables-cards are obviously the best form of
entertainment for a paper celebration-may
have frills on their edges; the dining room
may have paper ribbons drawn from the
point over the table, and the table itself
may be laid most attractively for a late
supper Get set of pretty paper dolies
stamped with floral design; lay circles of
felt on the table, and then a centerpiece
and covers of the doilies, with others for
small dishes and candles. Have q bowl of
flowers like those on the paper, and plain
paper candle shades to match the prevailing
color. Have small dishes for bonbons rad
ishes and olives of square pasteboard boxes
covered with crepe paper. and place cards
decorated with floral wreath Hike those
elsewhere, and have paper napkins plain
white matching the doilies. and have all
the plates and dishes of paper or papier
mache from the bakers.
Since the supper is informal, this menu
will be found sufficient:
Clam Bouillon With Whipped Cream in Cups
Radshes. Sailed Nuts Olives
Broiled Birds. French Fried Potatoes
Hot Rolls. Celery Coffee
Lobster Salad With Watercress Sandwiches
Crackers and Cheese.
Ice Cream Candles, Lighted. Wedding Cake
The final course is delightfully."- appro-
pirate for supper party. The candle
sticks are nodded out of chocolate or other
dark cream. and the candles are of white
cream. Just before serving. a tiny wax
taper Is inserted at the top and lighted
with curious and charming effect. The we'd
ding cake served at all anniversaries may
be rich fruit cake cut in small pieces TO
represent genuine wedding cake.
