fairbanks MERCHANT
HERE WITH BRIDE

Abe Isaacs, the Fairbanks merchant,
with his bride, arrived on the Jeffer-
son on their way to Fairbanks. The
marriage Of Mr.. and Mrs. Isaacs was
the consummation Of an old romance.
1t was eight years ago that Mr.. Isaacs,
then a poor salesman in Chicago, left
for the west to make sufficient money
to permit him to give his betrothed a
home as good as that to which she had
been accustomed all her life. In that
time he has accumulated fortune in
business at Dawson and Fairbanks and
this summer he went east and claimed
the hand Of her whose heart has been
10 his keeping during all the years he
has been wrestling with Dame Fortune
in the northern interior. The marriage
took place early last month.

Georgia Neqress Abroad.

A Georgia negress, Miss Burroughes
made an adress at Hyde Park, London
recently, at one of the meetings of the
Baptist worlds congress. She at
tracted considerable attention by some
of her quaint expressions. Among he1
oratorical gems were the following:
ITS useless to telegraph to heaven
for cart loads of blessings, and then
not to be on the wharf to unload them
when they arrive"
"rhe church at my home where ]
belong is so small that you have to
go out to turn around, but it makes
Baptists, all the same"
AT a revival meeting down in
Georgia so much noise was made that
the neighbors were somewhat an.
noyed. One man asked his cook,
Mary, who was present at the meeting,
to tell the pastor next time that 50
much noise was quite unnecessary
Have you not heard,' he said, .how
the beautiful temple of Solomon was

piled Mary, I know, but we amt n ear
ready to build our temple; we're just

New Liuhtinu Systems.

Lighting systems in which the gen.
Grating dynamo is subject to wide va
rlatlons of speed and is liable to have
its direction of rotation reversed as in
railway systems where the dynamo is
driven from one of~the car axles, have
long afforded a field of experiment for
electrical engineers. One new system
OF electrical distribution provides a
self-regulating effect for a given out
put by smaller and lighter machines
and over a greatly wider range of
speed variation than heretofore posi-
BILE. 1t is also claimed that it auto
matically reduces the generator output
during the progress of charging the
battery, preventing waste of energy,
and needless evaporation of the elec-
trolyte after the battery is charged
A battery connected with a main gen.
orator and an auxiliary dynamo has
its field connected across the battery
and varying in speed like the main
generator. The auxiliary dynamo
controls motor which drives an ex-
otter dynamo, all arranged to vary the
speed of the EXETER dynamo in an in
verse speed to that of the main
generator and to vary the excitation
of the EXETER dynamo in an inverse
sense to the speed of the main gener-
ator and to changes in the electromo-
tive force of the battery.

Testing Rails for Curves.

Experiments will soon be begun
with three makes of steel rails in or
der to find one which will answer the
purpose on the heaviest grades and
curves. Manganese, manard steel,
and the standard rail will be tested, a
careful watch being kept on the wear,
on a stretch of track 200 feet long at
the Horseshoe curve in the Allegheny
mountains. For some time past a
nickel steel rail has been tried at this
point without entire satisfaction, as
it has been found to peel wherever
there is a crack, although the piece
now in use is far superior to the first.
When the first consignment was un-
loaded the nickel, steel flew to pieces
when thrown IN the ground. The rails
finally tested have been found to stand
wear, better than Others, but fear. of
their breaking prevents their exten-
sive use on big curves I. ,z+%s s+v% E., Il

and the transmitter may be connected

E{oorjno a Horse Stable,

J. F. R-How much cement and
gravel would be needed to floor a
horse stable, 21x54 feet, and a feed
passage four feet wide running length
wise? 2. How much cement would be
needed to build a wall 27 feet long, 8
feet high and 8 inches thick? There
will be two windows, each feet 6
inches wide. l have no stones for
filters.
For a floor in horse stable 21x54
feet, it will take of Portland cement
sixteen barrels and gravel fourteen
yards. The floor is put down in two
layers, the first layer, four inches
thick, is composed of eight parts
gravel to one part cement; the top
coat, one inch thick, is composed of
fine gravel or coarse sand two parts
to one part of Portland cement.
2. For a wall 27 feet long, 9 feet
high and inches thick it will take
Portland cement, five and one-half bar
rels; gravel, six yards.

REGARDING Cement Plaster.

]. G. WA bachelor has a shack,
l2x16 feet, one-p!y boards, with stud
ding two feet apart. Would you ad-
wise lathing and plastering on the
outside with cement plaster? II SO,
should hair be mixed in the morta.
and what should be the proportions OF
sand and Portland cement?
To plaster a house on the. outside,
first lath the walls, the same as for
inside plastering. If cement plaster
is used, mix about three parts sand
to one part cement, the quality of the
sand will govern the quantity of &C.
ment to be used, as it has to be made
rich enough to allow it to be applied
without crumbling. A common way to
plaster the outside of house is to use
lime instead of cement, making a NOR
tar the same as for inside work, and
throwing gravel into the plastered
wall while it is soft-that is before it
has set; this work is called rough
casting, and is much cheaper than
cement plastering and is quite dur
able when properly done. When the
wall has hardened a whitewash can be
applied to make it pure white color
if desired.
