into the raceway or to have the latter
filed from some outside source. This
method is inconvenient and occasions
loss of time, and it has been ascer-
tanned from practical use that tools of
this description are generally cumber-
some and inconvenient to handle. In
the tool shown here the magazine,
-raceway and mechanism are all placed
in a casing. The lacks are automat-
ically fed from the magazine to the
raceway, which leads to point where
the tacks are driven. The raceway is
kept full so long as there are lacks
in the magazine, all possibility of the
tacks becoming clogged in the race
way or at the entrance being avoided.
This is accomplished by closing the
bottom of the cylindrical magazine
with a head, which is fitted into the
magazine and connected to the driver,
the arrangement being such that the
piston head will lift the tacks up to
and deposit them On the raceway so
that they may hang point down. The
driver Is then manipulated, force be
ing in this way applied to the head of
the tack and the latter driven into

Old missionary Ridge"

Stretching for miles along the east
ern border of the city, picturesque
and pleasing to view is Missionary
Ridge, says the Chattanooga Times.
How well that name is known from
the hemlocks of Maine to the flowers
of Florida, and yet how different
from its name are the associations
one gives it when it is pronounced!
In history it is recorded as being the
scene of one of the fiercest conflicts
of the civil war. but to the people who
know the origin of the name it is a
imminent to the memory of band
of devoted, self-sacrificing Christian
men, who, Drawing the hardships of
emigration, not for the love of gain,
but to help their fellow men, built
the Brainard mission ON the pictur-
esque heights known by the name of
Missionary Ridge.
1t was in 1917 that the Rev. Cyrus
Kingsbury, Ainsworth F. Blunt, and
the Rev. John Vail first viewed the
site of their mission. They were sent
here by the American board of COM
missioners for foreign missions, and
the same board had provided for the
erection of a mission, including school
buildings and home for the mission
aries. But the contractors failed in
their contract, and the missionaries
were left without money and without
even a shelter. But by energetic eff
forts they created a mission school
and built a mill on the banks of Chick
amauga creek.
The mill race, nearly a mile long, is
still visible. The mill was purchased
by Philamon Bird in 1852. He tore
down the small structure and built
what is now know as Birds mill.
On May 81, 1919, the president Of
the United States, James Monroe, APP
peared at the door of the mission I'M
announced. He was accompanied by
Gen. Gaines. Although surprised by
his visit, the missionaries were ready
to receive him, and he complimented
them on their work and in glowing
terms praised the beautiful location
of the mission. The Brainard mission
was used until the Indians left. 1t
did an immense amount of good, and
at one time there were more than 500
Indian children being taught beneath
its roof. The Lords supper was OBJ
served for the last time on Aug. 10,
1888.
In the old mission cemetery east of
the ridge, overgrown with weeds and
forgotten by almost everybody, is
a little monument on which are the
following words:
Here lies the remains of Samuel
Worcester, d. D., pastor of the Taber-
nacle church, Salem, Mass, first sec

Suns Size Keeps It Hot.

1t is the size of the sun that keeps
it hot, according to Sir Oliver Lodge.
1t is not a furnace like a coal furnace
kept hot by combustion; that would
not do. 1t is kept hot by its own
gravitation and earthquake subsid-
ences. 1t is great mass of gas con-
tracing, and, being so enormous, gen.

power of gravitation on the sun is SO
great that it would be impossible for
man to move about. He would
weight about two and a half tons, and
he would just have to lie down and
be squashed by his own weight The
bulk of the sun is million times
that of the earth and the shrinking to
produce white heat need not be great.
