COMP PRESSED AIR.
All Sorts of Machines Are Operate d
 by This New Agent.

From the Engineering Review.
 Compressed air Is being applied in rapid ly increasing measure to various branches of engineering work apart from its ex- tensive employment in tunneling and foun- dation work. Pneumatic tools such as hammers. riveters. calkers, drills and the like are fairly universal, but in addition to these, various new appliances of quite different character are now finding exten
 give use. The adaptation of compressed air for raising water is a natural and logical application. Various devices have been employed and are constantly being devel- oped for this purpose Some of these, such for instance as the air lift and forms of the direct displacement pump. fully hold their own by reason of convenience or compliance with conditions prohibiting other apparatus. But all appliances of the kind suffer from the drawback that they are not economical In operation. The chief objection to the direct displacement com pressed air pump is that 1t does not util-
 ze the potential energy of expansion and allows the air to escape at full pressure. This disadvantage is obviated by the re- turn-air pumping system which embodles Il most important invention While the familiar direct displacement pump receives for each charge all the compressed air 1t Will hold ana re1ectS all or It, lne air pump, working in a similar way. only uses the power actually necessary. and re- turns the balance to the impulse of the air during expansion converts the dis placement pump receives for each charge all the compressed air it will hold and rejects all of it. the return-air pump, working in a similar way, sonly uses the power actually necessary. and returns the balance to the intake side of the com pressor. The return impulse of the air during expansion converts the displaee
 ment pump into an economical machine, and opens up great possibilities of addi- tional uses for compressed air in perma- nent pumping plants in connection with water supply installations. and. in fact, for raising any liquids that can be dealt with by other pumps. Another new in- vention related to the return-air pump. although employed in quite different di- rection, is the eectro-pneumatic rock drill. This machine is of revolutionary character in design. The drill has no valve or valve motion. A small air com
 pressor is fitted near tho drill to be op- erated: two pieces of hose each day con meet one end of the compressor with one end of the drill cylinder. and there are no valves or Instructions to prevent the free flow of the air through the hose or into or out from either cylinder. The compressor is driven by a small electric motor mounted upon the same frame As the compressor piston moves to and fro, the pressure rises in front of 1t and falls behind it, causing alterations Of pres

 And I didn't understand that, because I'd heard you say that seeding trees were the best; that they were slower growth than grafted trees and came Into bearir 2 later. but that when they got going they bore better fruit.

 In the receiving barracks were men speaking all nguages-Tartars, Jews, Poles Buriats and Russians with bast boots and red shirts. At night, in tho dark Vania lay awake and cried. He cried for his home, for the great pine woods, for Nata and he thought of his fathers sick COW, and wondered how they would do without him at home. He longed, too, for his mother And this fair-haired young giant cried himself to sleep.
 After dinner on the fourth day Vania and some forsy other recruits were dered to take their boxes and go down to the barracks square. There were many soldiers there, in beautiful uniforms. with high red collars There was q band, An officer came and shouted, Good health, my children" The soldiers shouted reply Then an order was given, the band played, the soldiers closed around Nania and the other recruits, they marched out into the street and after 9. long march they came to another bar racks, where there seemed to be hum dreds of soldiers in the same beautiful uniform Again Nana is made to stand in line with the other recruits and an old officer comes and addresses them.

The drill piston is checked at each end by the elasticity of the air so that the force is not lost, but Is transmitted to help the next stroke. Thus the imporant economy of the return-air pump is reproduced in another way. The new form of drill has been worked under exacting conditions for several years in this country.

A Japanese Invention.

Mr.. Suzuki of Toxic, the pro-
prietor Of a sugar refinery in that
city and an inventor of known abil-
ity, has recently devised and obtain
cd patent for what he terms the
Perfect Coal Consuming Furnace.
1t is asserted that in order to obtain
given amount of heat only about
half the amount Of coal ordinarily
used is needed in this furnace. The
smoke is entirely consumed by per-
feet combustion, it saves the labor
Of firemen, and makes up automatic
ally for the poor work Of those who
are employed as firemen. 1t would
seem from the statements made that
Mr.. Suzuki's invention fills a long
felt want, and il we can cure our
smoke nuisance by the introduction
Of device which will reduce the
consumption of coal required to pro
duce heat and power by half, the
way of the transgressors should be
made particularly easy for them to
travel. Boston Herald

Canon Rownsley severely rebuk-
ed the wearers Of egret plumes, and
his thoughts and words apply with
equal force to those who wear bird
ornaments. Here is what he said:
"Some Of you, my friends, followers
of hegentle Christ, come to worship,
nay, come to the supper ofour Lord,
wearing 'egret' plumes or 'ospreys'
in your hats and bonnets. Do you
realize that this 'egret' plume grows
on the birds back only at the time
of nesting, and that to obtain one
such feather involves the cruel death
not. only of the beautiful white
heron, but Of the whole nestful Of
its nearly-fedged offspring? What
a price to pay for the pleasure of an
egret plume! What a travesty Of
religion so-be able to come into
church decked with an egret feather
and sing in the words Of the Bene.

The supreme court of Tennessee

The supreme court of Tennessee
has handed down an important opin-
ion regarding the rights of news
papers to publish any fair and truth
full report Of the proceedings Of
courts Of justice. This matter was
considered by the court in connec-
ton with damage suit filed against
the Nashville American, in which
case verdict was rendered below
against the American for $4,000.
The supreme court reversed this
Judgment and the case was remand
ed.
The court laid down the law pro-
viding that unless the court has pro-
hibited q publication Or the subject
Of the proceedings are unfit for pub
location, they may be published and
the owners Of the newspapers occupy
the same status as other persons;
publications of suits must be fair,
they must not be mingled with com
ment, the place for comment being
the editorial column; reports of law
suits need not be verbatim; no undue
prominence must be given to promi-
nent damaging facts to the exclusion
of minute facts which explain or
modify the former; extraneous mat
tiers must not be introduced; in brief,
the news reports of the proceedings
of courts Of justice must be fair and
accurate.

A hearing was had last Thursday
before Judge Blair on an application
to have Sam Evans Jr. adjudged a
fit treatment as an inebriato. The
application was filed by his father
in the hope that the young man can
by this method be cured Of the habit
which he is, unable to control. No
resistance was made and the order
was granted, and last Saturday
Sheriff Hennessey accompanied the
young man to Knoxville and placed
him in charge of the Superintendent
of the new state hospital for in
ebriates located there. Heretofore
these unfortunates have been sent to
the hospitals for the insane and fol
that reason many people have been
opposed to taking advantage of the
law in behalf of their relatives. IN.
der the new regulations the patients
at this hospital will be required tc
labor, and thus assist the state in
paying the expense their treatment
will entail upon it.

lature on Saturday last, Ex-Governor
Larrabee said:

the most distinguished men in Iowa.
His rugged honesty, his answering
advocacy Of what he thinks right,
the purity Of his life, the simplicity
Of lis nature, all combined has
served to endear him to all who

stickney's Head is Level.

President stickney, of the Chicago
Great Western railway, spoke at the
annual banquet of the Chicago Real
estate board few evenings ago, and
fully agreed with President Roose-
velt's contention that the people
through their lawmakers should
control railway rates. Here is one
Of Mr.. Stickney's pungent sentences:
"The law of self preservation as we'll
as of fairness and justice demands
that the people through the govern
ment should control railway rates by
law"
; But will the people be any better
off when they secure the right for
which the President contends? They
certainly will not unless they use
more sense than they have on some
other economic questions.
ut is a notorious and undisputed
fact" says Mr.. SrscKNEY, that most
Of the great trade monopolies of this
country are founded and sustained
by the rebate in connection with the
protective tariff, which has, in effect
taxed the people hundreds of millions
Of dollars, not to produce revenue
for the government, but to enrich
trade monopolies."
Mr.. Stickney might have gone
farther and said thousands Of mil
lions instead Of hundreds of millions,
and then have asked his hearers if
the trade monopolies and their
schemers and dupes could organize
and keep in power standpat parties
to rob the people ofsuch sums, what
was to hinder the railroad monopolies
from fixing railway rates the same
as the trade monopolies fixed the
tariff rates?
When the President wins his pre-
sent fight for the public control O
railway rates, the real battle has
only commenced for a square deal
for the people and equal rights fol
all shippers whether big or little.

The distribution OF Alabama quail
and Virginia pheasants on Illinois
farms and fields is attracting great
attention in this vicinity, says a
Bloomington dispatch. Game War
den Charles Hodge, who has charge
Of the work, has received over 500
letters from farmers, asking for a
pair of birds and promising to give
them the best Of care. The idea oil
stocking Illinois farms with south
ern game birds is unique in Illinois,
but Indiana is also contemplating
this step The money is paid out Of
the fund secured from licensing
hunters, Several thousand Of the
birds will be distributed in the cen
trail illinois counties and probably
many thousand in the state at large,
as nearlyevery county will be given
number dependent upon the agree
ment Of the agrlculturalists to shell
ter and feed them. The farmers say
that the birds are a great aid to
agriculture on account Of the worms
and insects that they destroy annu-
ally.

Of Great Britain was responsible for
the destruction of the Dutch repub-
lies of South Africa. 1t was das-
tardly piece of business, and at vari-
ance with the heart and conscience
of the English people. The Tory
ministers chung to their positions
and put off a general election as
long as they possibly could, on
the theory no doubt that the PEG.
pie have short memories. But in
this instance the voters Of Great
Britain have refused to forget or
forgive. They are annihilating the

1t is possible now to tell the division Of

Of the elections is the return of so
many laborites to parliament Their
leader, John Burns, is socialist and
their policy is distinctly socialistic.
Twenty-Five Of these laborites will dis.

that adhering to Joseph Chamberlain.
This faction holds that free trade is
