Breaks Steam Record.

The monster steam engine breaks
the worlds steam records in Berlin.
This notable machine is a triple ex-
pansion, four cylinder, reciprocating
engine of 5000 horse power, which in
running at almost full load has devel-
oped one horse power hour for some
thing less than nine pounds of water
per horse power, with superheat up to
900 degrees. Since the engine has six
teen valves and variety of compli-
Gated mechanisms and requires a
great deal OF lubricating, the cost of
attention, maintenance, fabrication,
etc., may make it really less economi-
cal in trial cost than some engine
using more steam.

To Harness Bay of Eundx.

IL is believed that il will not be very
long before adequate steps are taken
to harness some of the practically I'M
limited tide-water power of the Bay
of Fundy and of the flats and low
lands that mark the estuaries OF the
streams that flow into the bay On
the Mines basin head of from thirty
five to forty feet would be available
This, sustained by the limitless vol
ume of ocean water, replenishing the
basins every twelve hours, would af-
ford an aggregate power far beyond
the utmost capacity of Niagara This
is only one instance of the power on
the Bay of Fundy that now goes to
waste. At Moncton the tide rises to
height of thirty feet, beginning with
the famous rushing bore" six feet in
height This power could be utilized
and the harbor improved without de-
stroying the fascinations of the bore.

Mr.. HAYDEN'S VIEWS
GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST
TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS.
Declares That Dr. williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use OF His Limbs When
All other Remedies Failed.

Declares That DIR. Williams Pink Pills
Restored the Use OF His Limbs When
All other Remedies Failed.
The premonitory symptoms of paraly-
MS are: trenSbling Of the hands; sudden
loss of power in arms or legs. frequently
Affecting one whole side of the body; stag
gering; partial or entire inability to use
the fingers; distortion of the features,
sometimes IN uncomfortable quivering
Of the chin; severe pains; difficulty in
speech. Frequently the first warning is
vague feeling of headache, vertigo and
muscular weakness.
In q recent interview Mr.. W. J. J..
Hayden said: 81 truly think that Dr.
Williams Pink Pills are a great medi-
cine for they cured me when physicians
and other remedies had failed TO give
me the slightest relief. Too close at
tention TO business brought on an attack
of nervousness which finally developed
into paralysis. There were times when
it was impossible for me to move my
hands or te-get up from n chair. At
other timeS1 had partial control of my
limbs. but i was afraid TO go far from
the house for fear might suddenly be-
como helpless aud have to be carried
home.
while was in this miserable con-
dition, Il was stricken with malarial fever
and confined to bed for four months. I
had the best physicians, but while they
relieved my fever, their treatment did
not entirely drive the malaria from my
system, and they did not help my par
alysis in the least.
"I was well nigh despairiDg when
friend persuaded me TO try DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. When / had finished one box
I could see results that encouraged me.
Ny condition kept steadily improving,
aud when had taken seven boxes 1 was
cured of paralysis and the malaria was
completely driven out Of my system.
For two years now have enjoyed the
best of health and have attended to bus
mess without any interruption.
Mr.. Hayden's home is at No. 252 West
seth street. New York. DIR. Williams
Pink Pilshave cured many similar cases
OF paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They
are sold by all druggists. A treatment
so simple, inexpensive and successful
should be tried by every sufferer from
partial paralysis in any of its stages.

PUMPING Water.

At a very moderate expense in put
ting up small windmill and tank all
hand pumping would be done away
with. And not only that, but one
could have water brought right into
the house on tap at all times. The
same equipment would supply the
stock in the barn or fields with a con-
slant supply provided the spring
tapped by the well is strong enough
for the demands made upon it. A mod
ern windmill is more than a labor
saver.

Easy Remedy for Cucumber Beetle.

says: II was troubled with the striped
cucumber beetle until by accident a

Since then have planted a sunfiower
seed in every cucumber hill and have

Willis Jones, col ored, a miner, stood too near a can of powder causing an explosion. The negro was bruised and burned so badly that death relieved him of all pains a day later. The explosion caused smoke and for a while there was ap- prehension that a serious catastrophe had taken place. Men started to work bratticlng up the front part of the mine in order to bring about a free circulation of air. but a little later the men at the bottom were seen crawling out, the smoke not interfer- ing with them except to frighten them some.

Maben has very little to say concern ing the merger. The statement Is made that there Is hitch in the nego- tiations, the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Company demanding cash instead of securities in making up the great corporation. President Maben was not at leisure this morning and so far is not talking much. In the next few days directors in the company will be in the district and will go on an in- spection trip about the various plants of the big corporation.
