lest stamp-Vendina Machine.

Washington. - Postmaster General
Meyer has decided to have exhaustive
tests made by several types of auto
matte stamp-vending machines adapt
ed to receive one and five cent pieces
for the purchase of one and five cent
stamps and postal cards. The post
master general said the other day he
believed that any measure that pro-
NOTED the convenience of the public
should be utilized whenever it was
possible to do so without undue cost.

CANADA SEEKS NEW HARRoR.
Hudson Bay Route Would Save About
1000 Miles of Transportation.

Toronto.-The Canadian govern
ment has published a description of
the cruise of the Neptune in Hudson
bay waters, the object of the cruise
being to gain information as to the
possibilities of a northern route as an
outlet for the grain crop of the north
west
The conclusion is that Hudson strait
is naYigable for ordinary iron steam
ships from July 20 to November 1, and
this period may be increased without
much risk by a week in the begin
ming of the season and by perhaps
two weeks at the close. The same
dates apply to the navigation Of Hud-
son bay from the strait to Fort
Churchill.
The approach to the harbor at
Churchill, if aided by a few beacons,
would be comparatively safe, as the
channel is fairly deep and wide. In
side the mouth of the river there is a
/ good harbor. North of Churchill har-
Dor and along the west coast Of Hud-
son bay the character of the coast is
| dangerous, and south of Churchill the
mouths of all the large rivers are
more or less blocked by deposits Of
sand, with the result that only small
craft can enter the harbOrs.
This means that Fort Churchill is
practically the only available harbor
as a terminus for railways from the
Northwest or from Ontario if the pro-
posal to extend the government rail-
ways to tidewater is carried out. The
Hudson bay route would save 1000
miles in transportation, besides a con
siderable amount of delay and hand
/ ling which now takes place IN the
/ transportation of grain from Fort Viii
/ liam to the SeabOaTd.

Tenor Voices Carry Best.

Paris.-Dr Marage, of the Paris
Academy of Medicine, read an inter
esting paper on the problem of MAX
ing a voice carry in a large hall. His
researches will prove useful to public
speakers. He thinks that by exercise
it is possible to train a voice so as to
carry in a large assembly. He finds
that the tenor voice is heard the best.
Bass requires eight times the effort

DIES STEALING A TIMEPIEcE.
Pickpocket Busy While Prayers Are
Uttered for His Souls Safety.

Chicago.-Rt. Rev. DR.. Chadwick,
bishop of Derry and Raphoe, in a
speech at the synod Of the Irish Prot
estant church referred to the story Of
a pickpocket having been found dead
with the watch Of the clergyman who
had come to attend him in his hand.
The clergyman in whose experience
this strange incident occurred was the
late Rev. w H White, chaplain of the
Savoy and chaplain to the speaker Of
the British house of commons in the
reign of Speaker Brand.
Mr.. White was aroused in the small
hours of the morning from his sleep
bv a sick call when early in his minis
try he was a curate in a Brighton par
ish. He was summoned to a bad quar-
ter of the town and was led to the
bedside of a man who was rapidly
sinking amid surroundings of destitu-
tiOn and squalOr.
The man passed away while Mr..
White was offering prayers on his be-
half and Mr.. White on rising from his
knees discovered to his astonishment
that his watch had been removed from
his pocket and was held tightly in the
grasp OF the dead man.

USE OF ELECTRICITY
INCREASE IN MACHINERY AND
DEVICES is SHOWN.
Census Bulletin Tells of Extensive I'M
provements and innovations in
Recent Yea .s-Distrib-ticn
of the Industries.

ashington.-Thomas COmmerfOrd
Martin, expert special agent of the
bureau Of the census. has compiled a
report of the manufacture of electrical
machinery, apparatus and supplies, ac-
cording TO the census of 1913, which
the department has made public III the
form of a bulletin.
During the fve-yGar period there
have been extensive improvements in
the utilization OF electricity and cleo
trical machinery and radical innova-
tions in electrical devices for general
use" the report reads.
There have been increases since
1900 in all items. even in the number
of establishments, an item which in
most industries has been reduced by
the general tendency toward cOnsOli-
datiOn. The percentages of gain are as
follows: In number of establishments,
349 per cent; in capital, 1881 per
cent; in number of wage earners, 43.9
per cent; in amount of wages paid,
54.7 per cent; in cost of materials,
35.1 per cent, and in value of prod
ucts, 52.3 per cent
The distribution of electrical man
ufacturing throughout the states has
remained the same in all essential re-
spects at the two censuses. New
York. Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Indiana
and New Jersey reported 631 of the
7S4 establishments making electrical
apparatus at the census of 1905 and
products valued at S126,S07,S ,S04, or
901 per cent. of the total for the cOun-
try.
In value of products New York led,
followed by Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Massachusetts, New Jersey and Ohio
in the order given. Their combined
product constituted 4ive-siXths (S4.5
per cent? of the total value of prod
ucts. Connecticut and Indiana did
not reach the S5,OOO,OOO mark.
Illinois is the great center of tele-
phonic manufacturing industry in the
United States, both as to number of
factories and as to output. More than
half the total product, or SS,357, ,52l,
was from this state. The output of
New York was also large, but not
quite half that of Illinois.
The increase in total capital was
distributed uniformly throughout the
country, but was greatest in Pennsyl
vania, where capital increased from
s2O.967, ,5S7 to s5S, ,393, oil, or 17S.5 pei
cent, although the value of products
advanced only from $19,112,665 to
S26,257, 500, or 37.4 per cent.
The capital and value of products
of the other leading states were as fol
lows: New York, capital, $30,643,167
and products, s35,34S,276; Illinois, cap
itaI. S21,644,7S3, and products, SIG,
7O0.027; Massachusetts, capital, $l2,
5,427, and products, S15,SS2,216;
New Jersey, capital, $18,457, ,S21, and
products, $13,SO3,476; and Ohio, cap
ital, $1O,4O8, ,1S4, and products, $11,
O19,235.
The general well-being of the in
dustry must be attributed to the pros
perity of the great public service cor
porations, private and municipal
street railway companies, lighting
plants, telegraph and telephone sys
TENS, etc, by which the great bull
of electrical machinery is purchased.

AMERICAN CLOCK DISPLACED.
Consul Says Time Keepers Should Be
More Ornamental.

New York.-Ten years ago Ameri-
can clocks were in great demand at
this place, but since then there has
been a gradual falling off, until now
one can hardly find an American clock
in the whole city, writes Consul Felix
S. S. Johnson of Bergen, Norway. On
inquiry I find that the causes for the
decline in this trade are many, and
these can be remedied by our manu-
facturers, should they desire to regain
the market for their goods in Norway.
First, no care is taken to make the
clock ornamental. AS a dealer ex-
planned to me, the American clock
has a plain wooden case with no carv-
ings or ornamentals; besides, the dial
could be improved. l found on ex-
animation that the clocks manufac-
tured in Germany (now controlling the
markeD have neatly carved cases,
with faces of metal, engraved dials
and figures.
The works in the American clocks
are better than those of the German
make. 1t thus seems that 1t is the
appearance of the article which
catches the eye of the purchaser, as
it is going to be an ornament not IN
his office, but in his home.
The clocks imported from Germany
are made in the Black Forest, in the
Grand Duchy of Baden, where wood
is easily obtained, where carving is
one of the leading industries and
where low rates for labor prevail.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED.


H'is NlNtN tttltk IAtiiff.
Many people who have suffered
with catarrh for years naturally feel
that the disease cannot be cured, and
BECOME discouraged.
Their failure to get relief is u to
the fact that they ave not used the
right remedy. Catarrh is an affection
Of the head. throat and lungs, and
cannot be cured by stomach dosing,
The only scientific and natural
treatment for this disease is Hy-o-mei,
which Is breathed through a neat
pocket inhaler, SO that its healing
medicatcd air reaches the most re-
motc air-Celis, Kills Hl cltara germs,
and restores The muciious membrane
OF the nose. throat and lungs to a
healthy condition.
Hy-o-mei is the only cure for ca
tarrh that has ever been sold with the
understanding that Il was to cost ahso-
lutely nothing unless it cured. j. II.
O'Rcilly Co. sell Ily-o-mei In his way
and are always ready to refund the
money If 1t does not relieve and cure
catarrh.
The healing and antiseptic balsams

PREVENTION OF TYPHOID

To the People OF Albuquerque:
The health board Of the city OF Albu-
querque feels it its duty to call the ear
nest attention of the people to the proven
tion of typhoid fever, as a few cases have
been reported.
Typhoid fever is probably the most pre-
ventable Of all diseases. not even excepting
smallpox. 1t is now definitely known that,
like cholera and dysentery. the germs Of
the disease are contained only in the dis
charges from the bowels ana kidneys Of
those sick OF it. and that It Is necessary for
a person to swallow a portion OF such dis
charges or things polluted by them. in or
der TO contract the disease.
The germs usually gain entrance to the
system through infected water from wells
or streams draining inhabited areas. ana
polluted by infected focal matter, or such
matter may be carried by flies and depos-
.ited on the food, utensils aud hands in I'M
screened Kitchens and dining rooms. The
germs may also be carried on the hands Of
careless attendants, or on soilcd clothing,
or Indirectly. by using milk or other ar
ticles OF unoooked food or drink from COWS
and vessels washed in infected water. Ice
from infected wutor is also dangerous, as It
has been proven that freezing does not Kill
the germs. A large volume Of water may
be infected from one case, and, il already
polluted with organic matter, becomes a
ready culture fluid for the multiplication
Of the germs.
Convincing facts as to both water and
flies being carriers Of this disease might
be multiplied indefinitely. II space per
mlttcd.
Based upon the teachings Of the foregoing
facts. the following rules have been pre-
pared with care for the guidance Of all
persons interested in their own and the
public health.
!. When 1t is known or suspected that a
person has typhoid fever, he should be
placed IN a large. wen ventilated room, with
the windows and doors well screened, and
such preparation should be made from the

The tramp nuisance III n Of ma
%tional proportions. Il has thus fai
defied solution. and worst Of all, 1t Il
growing every day. Prof, o. r.
lLewis. a noted soclologist, warns us
that this evil is far less dependent
upon good and bad times than most
people Imagine. 10 give am idea OF
the vagrant army, he mentions the
fact that In the years from 1901 10
1906. inclusive, 23,9G4 trespassers
we're Killed by railroad trains and
! g5.g36 were injured, and from enc
half to th%ree-fourth Of these trcspass-
ors were Migrants.
Mr.. Lewis declares that for the sake
of the railroads alone, something
ought 10 be done to mitigate the
tramp nuisance. He has obtained
testimony from more than half the
mileage of the United states as TO
tie thleving. injuries, death. accidents
and financial losses due to swarms
OF tramps. The railroads do not at
tribute the tramp nuisance to any
Inherent defect in our Industrial sys-
lem. but to unenforced and made
o1ate laws and they point in proof 20
an utter absence Of trespassing on the
railroads Of Europe.

els and kidneys as will protect other mem
bers of the family, the attendants ana the
community.
2. A solution of chloride Of lime. eight
ounces to the gallon Of water, should be
provided in quantity and a quart OF TINS
should be put in the bed pan or vessel each
time before it receives the discharges, and
should be well stirred and allowed TO stand
in the vessel at least an hour before it is
buried.
8. soiled bed or body linen should re-
main I'm the chloride Of lime solution for
an hour, and may then be safely put in
the family wash. Soiled paper or clothes
used about the patient should be immedi-
ately burned. Attendants should wash the
hands and the lips frequently, and rinse the
mouth always before eating. No one should
partake OF any food which has stood in the
sick room. Al of these precautions should
be continued unit. the recovery Is complete
and until all diarrhea has ceased.
4. Typhoid fever is not contagious in the
sense commonly understood and IL the pre-
cautions above indicated are faithfully and
intelligently carried out. a case may be
treated in any family or community with
perfect safety. If others have the disease,
It will be because they were infected from
the sam source as tn patient. or CON
tracted 1t The came precautions
should be observed in dysentery and all
other diarrhea diseases. including summer
complaint in children.
s. All well water. unfiltered water and
milk stored in cans or vessels washed in
such water should be looked upon as sus-
picious, and should always be bottled be-
fore it is drunk by any one. Uncooked
vegetables should also be washed in boiled
water.
G. The windows and doors OF all dwelling
houses, and especially OF the kitchen and
dining room. should always be well
screened and the flies actually kept out.
Unless this is done a carelessly managed
case Of typhoid fever or other diarrheal dis
case, even a mile or more away, may be a
source OF danger on account of flies. AS
mosquitoes are now known to be carriers
Of malaria, the same precautions will pro-
tect from this poison also. The universal
and effectual practice Of these precautions
would require intelligent care and some ex-
pense, but would result in the practical dis
of one OF our most common and
fatal domestic pestilences, which is not only
a disgrace to our civilization, but an an
nual scourge and tax upon the people, in
comparison TO which smallpox and cholera,
plague and other exotic diseases. so feared
our people, sink into insignificance.
