The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1906-09-06

We would like to see one county
settled entirely by the mail order peo-
pie and see what would happen. The
stores would stand it as long as they
could, then move away. Banks would
close their doors, the newspapers
would have to quit, the hotels go out
of business, the mechanics move away,
schools and churches dwindle, side
walks go to wreck, buildings become
vacant, implanted and dilapidated-
Strangers would take one look and
fee. Isn't that precisely what would
happen if the entire country were pop
ulated with people who bought every
thing in Chicago? Who would buy a
farm so located that he couldn't drive
to some sort of town? A sane man
wouldn't take such land at half price.
Be a friend to your home town Mr..
Farmer and it will be a friend to you.

A lawyer in a court room may call
a man a liar, a %scoundrel, a villain or
thief, and no ones.makes a complaint
when court adjourns, says an observ-
ing exchange. If a newspaper prints
such reflections on a mans character
there is a libel suit or a dead editor.
This is owing to the fact that the peo-
pie believe what an editor says; what
a lawyer says cuts no figure.

Poets and tina Birds.

From SCribRer'S Magazine.
Next to our native birds, there are
probably non of, more general interest
to the average American nature lover
than the birds Of England Personally,
I confess to, a more intense desire to see
and hear the nightingale, skylark, black,
bird, redbreast and otner characteristic
English species In their haunts than
homes Of tropical birds I say lin
their haunts" with emphasis, for I nave
at times with difficulty avoided hearing
these birds in cages: an unfortunate
enough experience i'll itself, and which,
having long in mind a pilgrimage to-
their home. would have deprived a first
impression of half its force. This longs
ing to meet English birds at home is in
part due to. the fact that they live in
England, in part to the place they oc-
cupy in English literature, and in part
to a desire to compare them with
birds.
A meeting with the same birds in
France or Germany would not possess
half the charm Of an initial acquatnt-
ance in England. Nearly, if not all,
that we know and have rea of English
birds, leads us to associate them with
pastoral England, with ops and
hedgerow, down and moor, With
matched roof n gray spire. For these
attractive mental pictures we have to
InaTK VOIuSWOilA, oIlelley, 1ofSl L06S,
Cowper and other makers of English
literature to whose influences we must
largely attribute the widespread inter-
est in English birds which, until re-
Gently. at least. have been better known
by name to most Americans than were
our commonest native species.
So far as birds are concerned. how
ever, the poets can only stimulate our
desires without gratifying them, and
comparison of English birds with ours
is obviously out of the question until
one has seen and heard both.

The LARGEST Camera.

A camera, said by Popular Mechanics,
Chicago. to be three times as large as any
other in the world, is owned by Professor
G.. r. Lawrence. of Chicago. With it sew
eral noted pictures have been taken, in
Guiding birds eye views of factories and
towns. 1t is also used for %enla,ging other
pictures. Says the magazine above men,
toned:
The body of the camera IS nine feet
four inches wide, six feet high, and twenty
feet long when fully extended, and in its
construction over thirty gallons of glue
We're used. The lens Is twelve inches in di-
ameter and cost 81, 500. All moving parts,
including the curtain slide. run on roller
bearings. The focusing is done by two
panels of glass, which can be moved to all
parts of the field. The plate holder weighs
nearly 500 pounds when loaded. and is rut
into the camera by means of a derrick.
Great care is used in leading, as a broken
plate would result in the loss of $3.50. The
plates are made of plate glass, eight feet
Song by four feet eight inches wide. and
weigh over 200 pounds.
I'm order to dust the plates, a man en-
terssthe camera through an opening in the
! front. A piece OF ruby glass IS then
placed over the lens, and the slide in the
plate holder Is withdrawn. After the plate
has been busted, the slide is replaced and
the man steps out.
\ "In making enlargements, the focusing is
done from the inside and the operator re.
! mains in the camera during the exposure,
In this process the entire apparatus IS sup.
ported by springs, Which absorb any pos.
sible vibration"

Spider Lifts a Snake.

DR.. Phin describes, among other
strange things. how a spider contrived
% lift from the ground a snake that
Vas, of course. many times heavier

Chiefly for the scientific explanation
which is given of the way in which the
hing was done.
Some years ago in a small. village in
New York state a spider %entangled a.
milk snake In her threads and actually
.aised it some distance from the
ground. ina spite of the struggles of the
| .eptile, which was alive.
By wilet process of engineering did

nents Known to engineers, namely, a
strong elastic thread. There are few
substances that will support a greater
strain TRAN the silk of the spider. Care

exceeds that of common iron; but not

iers possible the lifting of an animal
much heavier than q snake
Let us suppose that a child car lift
A %sfx-pound weight one FOOT high and

aish him with $50 rubber bands. each
capable of pulling six pounds through
one foot when stretched. Let these
sands be attached to a wooden plat
CORN on which stand a pair OF horses
Weighing 2,10O pounds, or rather more
chan a ton.
If, now, the child will go to work and
stretch these rubber bands singly, hook
ing each one up as 1t is stretched, in
.ess than twenty minutes he will have
raised the pair of horses one foot.
The elasticity of he rubber bands
enables the child to divide the weight
IF the horses into $50 pieces of six
pounds each, and at the rate of a little
less than one every three seconds, he
lifts all these several pieces one foot,
so that the child easMy lifts this enor-

Each spiders thread acts like one OF
the elastic rubber. The spider would
oave to connect the snake with the
point from which it vas to be suspend
ed by a sufficient number of threads.
BY pulling successfully on each thread
and shortening it a little, the snake
might be raised to any height within
.he capacity of the building in which
..he work was done.
