Too rapidly for counting,
They're dropping from the press
On every topic treating
From saving wood to eating.
From medicine to chess.
They greet you in the window,
They meet you in the aisle.
And back behind the counter
Is stored another pile.

BUILDS TRAMWAY OUT
OVER LAKE MICHIGAN
NOVEL ENGINEERING FEAT is
ACCOMPLISHED
Structure Cost More Than $500, 900
and VIII Be Used to Handle,
Materials for New
Tunnel

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Engineer George
w. Jackson has constructed an aerial
tramway mile and half long and
sixty feet high, out over the bosom of
Lake Michigan, to aid him in the build
ing of a new waterworks tunnel.
The tramway consists of line of
twenty-seven skeleton steel towers.
placed 300 feet apart. Cross-arms at the
tops of the towers support on each side
the track, a steel cable of large size.
The cars are swung from grooved wheels
which run on this cable, motion being
impaired by a transmission rope, sus-
pended under the track and operating
much like the old street car cables.
Over this line will fly the bucket cars
which will bring in the material exca-
waited in boring the tunnel and carry
out men and materials used in the work.
The towers also carry a big iron pipe,
which will convey compressed air from
compressor on shore to the drills
which will be used in boring through
the rock.
Formerly, in the construction of lake
tunnels, contractors have relied on fleets
of scows and tugs to handle the ma
terial and men. Running ice in the win
ter and rough weather on the lake are
the abundant causes of serious delays
when this plan is followed.
With the aerial tramway the tunnel
work will be carried on day and night
If necessary without interruption, and 1t
is believed that more than a year can
be saved in building the bore. In adj
dition, the inducement of steady em-
ployment is expected to bring better
grade of workmen to the job.
In constructing his plant Mr.. Jackson
has expended more than 100000 before
beginning the real work of boring the
tunnel The shore shaft, from which
two headings will run--east and west
has been sunk to the rock. and the in
termediate crib, from which two more
headings will branch, is in place. With
the tramway in operation the dirt and
rock will begin to fly.

LABOR CONDITIONS

Notwithstanding the fact that the
ldboring men enjoy in America more
than their brethren in other lands, they
have a just claim to still better condi7
tons
They are now endeavoring to secure
the eight-hour day, and they are entitled
to it; they have not secured their share
of the benefits which the improved ma
chine has brought to the world. The
productive power of man has been vastly
ir creased, and it is only fair that those
who operate the machine should have
more leisure to prepare themselves for
the responsibilities of their more ad-
vanced position.
A second need of the laboring man to-
day is protection from the writ of in
junction under which he Is denied the
right of trial by jury. While this Is not
resorted to in many cases, and while com
paratively few have personally felt the
harshness of the writ, 1t is menace to
all. The jury trial is so sacred an in
stitution that it's protection cannot be
denied to any thief no matter how often
he has been convicted; 1t is surprising
that it can be denied to a laboring man
without arousing instant and universal
protest.-William Jennings Bryan in The
Reader.

Divorces In New Jersey,

Only three cases of extreme cruelty,
against 4o5 OF desertion and I52 Of in
fidelity, show that unusual illtreatment
did not have much to do with the dl-
vorces granted in 1906. Yet Of the
1904 petitions filed the major part al.
legged cruelty.
The figures show that cruelty IS
something the court does not See well
until it has been proved thoroughly.
Desertion IS proved more easily, and
opportunity and disposition need only
to be proved in the disposition cases.
Those who have been in the divorce
courts say the hardest thing to get IN
New Jersey is divorce ON the ground
of cruelty. The Vlce-Chancellor and
special masters do not think domestic
spats call for the parting OF the quarrel
ing couple.
With New Jersey III line with three
or -four other States In reforming the
divorce law, the effect on the divorce
mill will be interesting when II can be
watched next year. 1t goes into effect
on January I next. There have been
COS petitions for divorce since January
last This is an increase III number
OF petitions.
Regarding the new divorce law, com
