BLOWING MACHINES FAIL.
Glass Manufacturers Find Human
Lungs Best.

MILLVILLE, Oct. 6.-After trying
for several years to use bottle-blow-
ing machines of various ingenious
construction, glass manufacturers are
now almost unanimous in the opinion
that further experimenting is useless.
Many of the huge machines, built at
tremendous cost, lie on junk piles to
be sold to dealers os old iron.
In the past three years the Whit
all Tatum Company, of this city, and
the other large glass manufacturers
have spent thousands of dollars try
ing to find perfection in machine
blowers. The machines produce
much more ware than men, but when
the bottles come under the critical
eye of the sorter the machine-made
bottles are discarded by wholesale
because of defects.
One manager said yesterday: THE
glass blowing machine has never yet
been made which can compete with
human labor, and the machine labor
will soon, as far as the bottle blow
ing trade is concerned, be a thing of
the past"

HIT BY
A TORNADO.
For Second Time in Few Days
New Orleans Suffers from
Severe Storm.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 6.rA tornado
has swept through five miles of the
residence and factory section of New
Orleans, killing at least seven persons,
i~nJuring a score and doing fully $780,
600 damage.
After the tornado had left the city.
travelling in a northerly direction, a
telegram from Hammond, La, fifty
miles north of here, said that four per
SONS had beer killec in a tornado at
Pontchatoula, a nearby town. Great
property damage at Pontchatoula was
also reported.
A report was brought in from the
neighborhood of Lake pontchartrain,
outside the city limits, that lives had
been lost there. Later the death of 4
man named Howes was reported at the
lake, but these reports lacked confirma-
ton. Many of the injuries occurred
neal Roberts street and the river front,
where the Columbia oil mill and the
Jefferson sawmill were badly damaged.
Deaths are reported by both st.
James and West Baton Rouge par
Ishes.
The tornado passed near Kushla, Il
station on the Mobile and Ohio railroad
about twelve miles north Of Mobile.
The tornado cut Il swatll 100 feet wide
and felled much timber. The Western
Union Telegraph company not only lost
their wires along the Mobile and Ohio
railroad route, but also lost those along
the Louisville and Nashville and South
ern railroads. The wires went down
simultaneously.
The tornado passed between Oak
Grove and Whistler, Ala, and all of
the Western Union wires are prostrat-
ed. AT this time it is not known If any
lives were lost there. Reports say much
damage was done to timber.

present examining some samples Of
peculiar milk that was taken by the

cases the inspectors threw their milk
in the cutters, because it was impure
and contained water.
Three cases will be prosecuted by
the board, and a fine will also be i'm
posed if they are found guilty.
Some of the milk dealers here have
no licenses, and they may also be
prosecuted by the local health board.

one need to be rich to enjoy its pleasures.
On the south shore Of Long Island, par
t~icularly at Rockaway Beach, and at scat
tered spots each side OF Rookaway, at Coney
Island and at Timer Park on Gravesend
Bay there are camps. On Staten Island
there are a few, but the largest one Is at
the Highlands OF Navesink at Atlantic
Highlands, and on the banks Of the Shrews-
bury River there are small ones.
In some Of these camps tents are used
exclusively, but in the better and more
comfortable ones bungalows and portable
houses are favored, and these are really
very comfortable, but, Of course, they are
more expensive.
Tent life at its best Is not without It's
dscomforts, but those who live in Sea-
shore Camp at Rockaway Beach seem to
enjoy themselves. They are happy under
the broiling hot sun when It's heat penetrates
the canvas Of the tent. and they seem happy
when a cold storm makes things generally
uncomfortable.
