New Remington Models.


Mechanical improvements in our day
follow each other with such rapidity
that 1t is hard for even those most
vitality interested to keep pace with
all the latest developments throughout
field so vast and varied. The re-
cent announcement, however, that new
models of the Remington typewriter
have been placed upon the market car
rles with it a special interest. To
the business world at large the an
nouncement is important in itself.
The mechanical expert also, and all
others who have followed each new
development through the history Of
the writing machine, will find in these
new Remington models fresh chap
ter Of absorbing interest.
The improvements in the new Rem
ington models are of the kind COM
monty described as fundamental. The
announcement that these improve
ments include a brand new escape
ment is as important a one as any
typewriter manufacturer could posi-
bly, make. The man whose knowledge
of the typewriter is limited simply
to the purpose for which it is used,
can have no idea whatever of the vi.
tai part played by the escapement in
the work of the machine. The escape
raent is in fact the all in all of a
typewriter-like the cylinders of the
engine, the central feature around
which all the others are grouped like
satellites. Briefly described, the es-
Capement is the letter spacing mech
aLlsm-in other words, it is the fea.
ture which makes the machine Ego"
On the escapement depend the speed
of the machine, its ease of operation,
the accuracy of the letter spacing--in
fact, almost every quality by which
the work of good typewriter is
known.
The Remington typewriter has al.
ways been the pioneer in every i'm
provement of the escapement. Years
ago it introduced the so-called wheel
escapement, which led to a practical
revolution in the typewriter mechan-
les of the time. The escapement of
the new Remington models marks a
new departure equally vital. Operat-
ors who have used these new Rein
ingtOn models testify that they have
set new standard for speed, lightness
anc evenness of operation, and fault.
less regularity and beauty of work.
Compared with SO vital a change as
new escapement, all other improve
ments must seem minor in their char.
acter. The new Remington models,
however. have other improvements,
which are notable in themselves.
Among these is new variable line
spacer. This new spacer enables the
operator to write instantly at any
point on the surface Of the paper. To
the operator it will especially com
mend itself, because it makes all cor.
rectlons easy, whether or not the ma.
per has been removed from the ma.
chine.
These facts give key to the gen.
eral character of all the improve.
ments in the new Remington models.
Ihey are in the best sense of the
word operators points, having been
designed solely with the idea of in
creaslng the capacity of the machine
and the convenience of those who use

1t is again seasonable to warn in.
experienced argonauts against the dan
gers of prospecting in the desert coun
try during the summer, and particular
ly in the notorious Death Valley sec
ton. Last summer nearly half hun
bred men met their death in the great
western deserts while prospecting, and
in view of the lurid tales of golden
wealth that have their locus in the
Death Valley section it is almost Ger
tain that the fatality record of last
year will be exceeded this coming sea,
son. The following portion of an in
terview with an experienced prOspec
tor and operator in the southwest is
sufficiently explicit and horrible to
serve as an argument to the text which
is above set forth. This nan who
knows says: Death Valleytoffers not
a single ray of hope to the average
man. The horrors of neat and thirst
would defeat the courage and endur-
ance of the most hardy. Last sum.
mer even burrOs persisted on the sands
and when the burro falls, what hope
is there for human beings? Perhaps
ten men were lost on Death Valley
last summer. Some of these were
found, others are still ying on the des-
hnip 6ictu tx,
the lizards, and scattered, perhaps
by the coyotes which came upon tine
body shortly after it fell. Water is
scarce and scattered. When found, it
is discovered TO be scarcely fit for
drinking purposes. The heat blisters
through clothes. and finally everything
is thrown off the body on account of
the unspeakable torture of the least
pressure against the skin. The end
is not far away, and another victim is
added to the cruel tales of fabulous
wealth so generally credited through,
out the country. My advice is to stay
away from Death Valley. There is a
way to get to the Paramint range from
the eastern side, by crossing narrow
arm of that desolate desert If you
must go across seek this pass and hur
ry your level best. Mark my words
the coming summer will find a score
of skeletons of green desert prospec
tors upon the desert. THE Mining

WHY PRICES WENT UP.
Some of the Curious Effects of the
Recent Boom In the Cost of Ice.

Some of the Curious Effects OF the
Recent Boom In the Cost of Ice.
We went over to the s'parlor' across
the way and called for brick of
mixed and put down the price we had
paid always before. The young lady
chirped, Five cents more, please" We
asked why and wherefore. ice has
gone up" she said. All, yes, so. Ice up
from So to So a ton, ice cream from 35
to 40 cents quart. Exactly. This led
us to investigate.
We found the following facts-ap-
proximately. allowing something. Of
course, to a deep inward activity OF
feeling: Our beef went up because Of
increased refrigeration cost A bunch
of radishes cost cents more. Oranges
jumped and all kinds of fruits. But
we did not see just why kindling wood
went up % cents a barrel. OF course
it was easy after we found it out. 1t
cost more to supply the kindling split
ter with ice water. Then bricks went
up 40 cents a thousand. The owner of
the brickyard ran the ice plant, and the
rise in bricks was purely sympathetic
movement, like the Inflammation Of
the eye because the other has got
cinder in it.
Then we discovered that corner lot
we wanted had gone up 500. This
stumped us until we learned the init
mate connection between this corner
lot and ice. The lot owner, it seems,
had got shut up for three hours in
refrigerator, and contact with ice had
imbued him with the idea that every
thing was going up.
But the most singular effect Of the
ice boom came out as follows: We
asked for an increase Of salary and
got the frosty face, the glacial glance
and the icy eye all in moment. Then
we realized that ice was up, and it
was costing more to CONCEAL employ
ing interiors, leaving just SO much less
for the interiors of the submerged
classes.-Judge.

A professor Of chemistry in one of
our prominent colleges asked his pupils
to bring original questions on chemical
changes as part of their next days
lesson.
When the time arrived the professor
asked the pupils how they succeeded.
One young man, with twinkle in his
eye, raised his hand.
"Well, what is the question:" asked
the professor.
What two chemical changes did the
wife of Lot undergoY
The professor, who prided himself
on his knowledge Of chemistry, was
puzzled. At last he confessed that he
did not know.

she turned into pillar of salt" said

Humor aue Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
THE LAUGHING MAN.

The man who laughs at everything
The ancient joke, the latest jest:
Throws back his head and pulls the strinl
And chronic blues knocks galley west
Is all right when he works his fad
At just the proper place to roar.
Unless the jokes on you, egad:
Then he's a nuisance and a bore.
His laugh infectious rings aloud
Where weary men for pleasure meet;
1t ripples all around the crowd
And then escapes into the street.
And If the jokes on Jones or Brown
His gufraw always makes a hit.
But how you want to call him down
II you're the victim of some wit!
II he is tickled most to death
He doesn't do the thing by half,
But while he has an ounce Of breath
He spends it on q roaring laugh. .
His wide jaws on his hinges turn
To give his vocal chords full play.
When you're the victim how you yearn
To stop 1t with bale of hay! -4-, %. .
It's all right IL the laugh is there
To join and give your mirth full rein,
But when q buzz saw rips the air
And rattles on the window pane
You want to call for the police
To put the kibosh on his blat,
To make him swear to keep the peace,
If you're the one he's laughing at

Missed a Grand Chance.

We can deeply sympathize with the
Vienna man who was challenged to
fight Isl duels. A man would have to
take more than passing interest in
any cause to be anxious to die for it
151 times in one day, but as only his
honor was involved he didn't feel like
standing up to be shot at that many
times.
Il may be great for the honor, but
it is mighty poor for the digestion to
have a man trying to give a good imi-
tation of sieve and partially succeed
ing. But as we understand the Euro
pean duel there was not much danger
of that
In fact, If all accounts are true he
would have been safer on the field Of
honor than at home, for at the latter
place he might catch the measles or
the whooping cough
On the whole it looks to us as though
the gentleman in declining has over
looked bet. Think what figure with
the ladies the hero Of Isl duels would
have cut

Signs of His Finish.

If the cars soldiers go back on him,
as they threaten to do, he might as
well throw up the sponge if he has one
and make the best terms he can. He
and his brave son and all of the grand
dukes cannot lick the entire Russian
people, especially il some of the latter
are armed with bombs.
As-long as the car is surrounded by
a few companies of loyal soldiers and
a squad Of police and has private de-
tectives in all of the trees around his
palace it is hardly safe form of
amusement to make faces at him, but
just let him take his two hands as a
naked proposition for his only defense
and Battling Nelson or even the village
blacksmith would make short work of
him.
AS long as no one not in his pay is
allowed to come within throwing dis
lance of him he looks every inch a
car. but just let his Cossacks be bit
ten by the revolution microbe and his
snap would be over.
