Some of the farmer boys on the
Long Island roads have hit upon a
plan to "get even with the hated
automobilists who slaughter pet dogs
and chickens in their wild bursts Of
speed The "get even" plan is not UNI
attended with danger for the pro-
jectors, but they seem to relish it.
The apparatus is simplicity itself,
consisting of an old buggy. a good,
strong horse capable of getting over
the road at fair rate, and young
cedar tree The latter is tied be-
hind the buggy and allowed to drag
along the road, which at the point se-
lected for operations is especially
dusty.
When the boys see an auto coming
they whip UP their horse, taking the
same direction as the approaching
machine. When the old horse is
urged into a gallop the amount of
dust raised would do credit to a small
cyclone.
When they meet the CLOUD of dust"
the autoists generally speed up in
hopes of passing the supposed farmer
and giving him a little taste of hrs
own medicine. After trying this ruse
for about thirty yards, they generally
slow up in order to get the dirt out Of
their lungs

a rackbar. The rackbar is adjusted to
raise or lower the load by means of a
lever. At the inner end of the lever
is terminal pin which engages with
the teeth on the rackbar. AS a means
for locking the rackbar preparatory to
taking a new grip, a latch is provided.
Secured to the lower end of the bar is
a ring or link, to which is fastened in
any manner one end of chain or
rope for attachment to the stump
rock or other article to be extracted
After the chain has been attached to
the stump the lever is operated. which
forces the rackbar up a notch, after
which fresh hold is secured and the
operation repeated. BY making the
frame strong and the lever long an
immense amount of power can be con
centrated; in fact, plenty to extract
ordinary stumps or rocks.

II is the little streams tha. make
the mighty rivers; the little blossoms
make the garden gay. For the most
part the men of fame and renown to-
day are they who bestowed the great

A Crystal Mine.

One of the oldest mines in the
wosld is described by Malcolm Nc
Dowell in his article, Strange Fluor.
Spar Nine" in the Technical World
Magazine. Says Mr.. Mcdowell:
THE shaft, but little larger than
the cylindrical steel skip used for
transporting the spar and miners, de-
scends on decided slant to the work
ing levels and the man with patent
leather shoes need have no fear of
soiling them by going down in to the
mine, for no dirst, muck or clay is
found in this crystalized bore. The
water is clear, for there is nothing
to dlscolor it. The air drills, boring
holes for the blasts, send bell-like vi
brations through the subterranean
galleries, for the steel cutters are con-
tinuaIly pounding into solid, glassiil1e
mineral. The air, though warm, is
sweet, for there are no carbonized
gases to peril the lives Of the min
ers."

in China.
Writes a Canton correspondent of
the China Mail THE fierce struggle
to which the boycott has given rise
has now entered the sphere of religion
and concerned itself with ceremonial
observances. Everybody in China
knows Of the great moon feast held
about the middle Of September. One
Of the special features of this feast
is the preparation of peculiar species
Of moon cakes. which are very popu-
lar with all classes. In the prepara-
tion of these cakes for many years the
finest quality of American -four has
been used 1t has now been decided
by the ladies' of the Canton, whose
business it is to attend to these mat
ters, that they will not buy any cakes
made Of this -four. but will content
themselves with fried rice cakes in
stead.
Moreover, in regard to the cakes
usually presented to the servants. i:
nas been decided that money shall be
given instead. Indeed, through the
medium of the planchette, the far
famed god of war has made known his
will in the matter and has warned all
to keep from the orthodox luxury or
they will incur his fierce displeasure.
In addition to this most important de-
cision, it has been decided that at
weddings and such felicitious oc-
casions the same rule shall apply.
Il have touched only on the fringe
OF the subject here, for the native ac-
counts cover wide scope of what
shall not be eaten, If any American
-four is used. And so it will be found
that this problem will solve itself, for
the owners Of the cake shops were per-
picked as to what they should do were
they to boycott American -four, and
now the people themselves have de-
cided for them"

least, it is attractive to the eye-es.
pecially to those of the masculine per

His invention Is a petite brunette
of nineteen summers, as pretty as a
fairy queen, and the only fear of the
coal merchant is that some of his Gus

away before he can amass fortune
at the coal business by having her in
the Office as drawing card.
This young man is the employer Of
the human advertising card" and the
cwner Of the fuel store said that he
concluded previous to buying the
place that the only thing that would
draw trade would be beautiful young
girl in the Office whose sole duties
we're to sit in front of the window and
look happy. But her orders upon
starting at her newly appointed posi-
tion were these: do not fiirt; sit
and look WISE"
This is all the young woman has to
do all day, as the energetic young
coal merchant attends to all the Office
duties. or course, there is no danger
OF the employer becoming infatuated
with his help. Several sign painters
have called at the place demanding
that she join their union, alleging for
a reason that her presence in the Of
fee does away with the necessity of
lettering the windows. = Chicago

Artificial Pumlce Stone.

While emery is used for polishing
tools, polishing sand for stones and
glass, ferric oxide for fine glassware,
and lime and felt for metals, pumice
stone is more frequently employed for
polishing softer objects. Natural
pumice stone presents but little firm
ness, and the search has therefore
been made to replace the natural prod
uct with an artificial one A German
firm has produced an artificial stone
by means of sandstone and clay, de-
signed to be used for a variety of
purposes. No 1, hard or soft, with
coarse grain, is designed for leather
and waterproof garments, and for the
industries of felt and wool; No. 2.
hard and soft, of average grain, is de-
signed f3t work in stucco and sculp-
tors use, and for rubbing down wood
before painting; No. 3, soft, with fine
grain, is used for polishing wood and
tin articles; No 4, of average hard
ness. with fine grain, is used for gig-
ing to wood a surface previous to pol
ishing with oil; No 5, hard, with fine
grain, is employed for metal work and
stones, especially photographic stones.
These artificial products are utilized in
the same manner as the volcanic prod
ucts. For giving a smooth surface to
wood, the operation is dry, but for fir
ishing the product is diluted with oil
