Of perfora tons in a gear wheel OF the
motor gearing, so as to prevent the mo-
tor from unwinding when not in use.
Secured underneath the float is fine
keel, to keep the float in an upright posi-
ton. Journaled in the sides of the float
are two adjustable arms, carrying disks
or balls of cork, which raise the arms
when the float is lowered into the water,
this operation moving the lever to which
they are secured. causing the pin or stop
to disengage from the perforations of the
Wheel allowing the motor to drive the
shaft. This shaft rotates a propeller at
the rear end of the float, the bait being
suspended from a rod at the stem of the
is run down. The adjustable arms have
driven in circular path, depending OH
the adjustment of the arms; if the arms
are displaced symmetrically the motor
will propel the float in straight path
the fishing line being attached to stud
at the top. The operation is as follows:
The motor having been wound up, the
float is lowered into the water. When
the float comes in contact with the wa
ter, the adjustable arms that carry the
balls of cork are raised, thus causing
the pin to disengage from the wheel, al
lowing the motor to drive the propeller
shaft and thus moving the float to which
the bait is attached. If the float is with
drawn from the water the weight of the
arms and balls will bring the pin into
engagement with the gear wheel, arrest
ing it's further rotation.

1 got any better it only lasted a little
while until 1 was almost a walking

as to the following facts l will make

American Goods in Mexico.

American merchants could do so per
cent. more business in Mexico were they
to study the character and condition of
trade in our country" said Walter E.
Grevel of Mexico City.
The main trouble with the slow sale
of American merchandise in Mexico is
the fact that the merchants and manu-
facturers demand that payment for their
goods be sent upon the receipt of the
bill for the SINE, and this bill arrives a
month in advance of the goods. OF
course. our merchants do not favor the
idea of paying for goods before receiving
them. On the other hand, European
merchants are liberal in giving time linn
its Of as high as six months, and as a
consequence enjoy good portion of oul
trade. ''-Washington Post.

A Viscount's Wager.

A marvellous story is being told in
Paris of a peer painters pilgrimage.
Ten years ago, according to the story,
Viscount Jacques de Gruart laid a
wager of f12,O00 with some companions
that he would make the tour of the
world on foot, accompanied by his
fiancee whom he was to marry on the
day of his departure, husband and wife
subsisting exclusively the whole time on
the viscount's earnings as an amateur
painter There was no stipulation as to
time.
The pair have just reached Paris on
their return, after successfully accom-
plishing their undertaking and winning
their bet. They have traversed Europe,
America, Africa and Australia. living
on nothing but the meager profits of the
riscount's brush.-London Globe.

MYSTERIES OF "RED DEATH"
Strange Sect That Is Said to Have MANY
AdherentS in Russia.

In the Russian journal Ural are given
some amazing details of a mysterious
sect known as the Red Death.
The sect has its headquarters at Eka-
terinoslav, and has many adherents
throughout the region. They have their
temples and meet at night for their
mysteries, in which red wine forms a
considerable part
The feature of this strange sect which
most strikes the outside world is that
associated with its title. When one of
the sect is at the point of death he is
carried to the temple, in which is a room
with no window, but covered-ceiling,
walls and foor-with red.
There is no furniture, but on the floor
are two cushions. The victim who, in
the jargon of the sect, is ripe for
glory" is laid on the floor with his head
on one cushion and left alone for some
time.
A young maiden clothed in red then
enters, slowly approaches the body, and
if death has not already taken place puts
the second cushion over the victim s
mouth and holds it down until all sign
of life has gone

Please give advice for mourning for a

What collar and cuffs are worn? What

Vogue gives her information of so care

Here are the latest rules for the guild
ance of young widows desiring to mourn
properly:
If you observe the strictest standards
you should wear a Grape bonnet and veil
in town and q Grape hat with Grape OF
chiffon face veil in the country. There
is only one correct way of draping a
widows veil. We do not care for any
of the fancy drapings which are some
times seen. These are not good taste.
Elbow sleeves are not good taste in
deep mourning, as they make too much
of an attempt at dressiness. Collars and
cuffs of sheer white organdie are worn
by widows. These have a deep hem
and measure three inches or so in width
For materials use nuns yelling, Henri
eta cloth, crepe de chine, chiffon, dull
veilings or tatfetas.
Lace and embroidery are not correct
trimmings, but you can use dull finished
ribbon, net, footings and hemstitched
ruffles. All what can be worn for sum
mer, as it is as deep mourning as all
black for country wear. All your gowns
should be simply made. For your coat
use dull finished pongee, with trimming
of stitched taffeta.
