Although the air regeneration is de-
signed primarily for cooling the air

not only Of decreasing the humidity
and lowering the temperature in a
room, but, if desired, as in the case of
a room in textile factory, it can in
crease the humidity and raise the tenn

to increase or decrease the humidity

Seat on the Metal Bed.

A little bedroom convenience which
there Is probably some good excuse TOY
is the addition of folding seat to the
brass bedstead. The seat is attached
to the side rail of the bed and has ali
adjustable leg, which falls naturally
into the position of support when tbs
seat is drawn UP for use. When not o.
use and dropped the seat Is practically
hidden.

Bending Large Pipe.

In installing an eight inch main pipe
to lead from a boiler and swing by
two easy bends to higher level ii
was found necessary to bend the pipe a
trifle more than had been expected, in
order to bring the ends together for
boiling through the flanges.

Preach from Automobiles.

A novel method Of preaching the
gospel was recently tried in France
with striking success. Pastor Delat-

in company with Pastor Sainton, OF
the Baptist church, in Paris, visited
with an automobile the departments
of Loire, Rhone, Alier, Saone ct Loire.

Big NEW SHOE BUILDING.
II 10 Dedicated BY the W. 1. DsuoIas
Co. at 9roekton.

The dedication = short time ago Of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the w. L
Douglas Shoe Co. n part Of its mann
moth manufacturing plant ut Nontello
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention TO detail characteristic Of the
firm in all its undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from IL a. m. to s D. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence Of . Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded . feast
for the eye, especially the onices,
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out. including over 1000 to tho re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the W. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe mahufactur-
ers and all allied industries In Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who IL interest
ed call and inspect the new plant. and
says the latch string is always out"
All departments Of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and Wis
itors were received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order. and GUS
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 260 feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry a
complete stock of mems, boys, youths,
misses and children's shoes, slippers,
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bing house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
will be finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and des-
patch of mail.

The University of Notre Dame, It ap-
pears, has some features that can not be
duplicated in any other school, 1t is one
OF the old, well-established colleges, with
settled traditions reaching back sixty-four
years, with distinguished staff OF pro-
fessors and excellent library and labora-
tory equipment Its discipline is of the
paternal kind-strong without being op-
pressive: and as 1t embraces in its scope
the grammar school, high school and coll
lege work. its appeal is broad as it is
potent Perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the famous Indiana University,
however is the fact that it has arrived at
its present marvellous development abso-
lutely without endowment An announce

OBJECT TO JAPANESE.
Oriental Fruit Pickers Not Welcomed
at Paonia.

Oriental Fruit Piekers Not Welcomed
at Paonia.
Denver-A dispatch of the 18th inst.
from Paonia, Delta county, says. En-,
couraged by fruit growers who feared
they would not have help to save peach
crops, thirty-fve Japanese arrived at
Paonia yesterday from Utah. There
were immediate objections from pack
Ing plants and, backed up by some of
the prominent merchants of the town,
these people decided to force the for
eigners to leave.
Those responsible for the coming OF
the Japanese claim that not enough
white labor can be obtained and that
thousands of dollars worth of fruit will
go to waste for want of help to handle
it. The anti-Japanese element insist
that efforts should first be made to OBJ
lain American-born help and claim
that the Japanese take everything
from the country and give nothing in
return, and make cheap-living and un-
desirable citizens
Twenty of the Japanese left his
morning and the rest remained under
threats Of bodily harm.
During past seasons the wives OF
merchants and business men have vol
unteered to help save the fruit crop
and the high school has been suspend
ed from four to six weeks during the
packing season and the students
pressed into this work. This year the
crop will be the largest in the history
of the section, and the labor scarcity
will be more marked than ever.

Worlds Cotton Consumption.

The consumption Of cotton from
1893 to 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world, but
from 1898 to 1903 the average was TO-
6s4,146 bales annually, and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
II the consumption increases at the
same ratio during the next hve year
period the average will be nearly 49,
600. 900 bales annually, and the prices
will be much higher than In the pre-
vious period. This indicates pros
porous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer. as well as for the
export trade.

almost new boat having been built
about six years ago by E. I. Allen at
