this with crank. In this case (a) Is
pivoted very loosely on the wire &c
which has crank bent on it outside of G

running through the screw eye (e) runs
up and is fastened to the wire between
the pieces 9.
Now you see when we wind up on
the. crank the string winds up on the
wire axle between the pieces 6, and thus

This much is done, and although some
may not care to make the station
though that in itself is very interesting
part OF a raiiway--yet these other appli-
ances will appeal to pretty near every
boy not only for their interest in them
selves but for the ease with which they
are made and the fact that they cost
nothing to build.
After finishing this much, Jack turned
the sheet over on the deck and, after
looking at his watch to see how much
time he had left before the men changed
shifts he started another set of drawings
on the other side.

FROM .HlsroRx OF THE DIvIDlNe
LINE. ny WILLIAM BYRD, 1644-lI44.
1929. November. By the Strength
of our Beef. we made shift to walk
about u miles, crossing Blowing ana
Te-waw-homini Greeks. And because
this last Stream receives its Appella-
ton from the Disaster of Tuscarora
Indian, it will not be struggling much
out of the way to say something OF
that Particular Nation.
These Indians were heretofore very
numerous and powerful, making with
in time of Memory, at least a Thous-
aud Fighting Men. Their habitation
before the War with Carolina, was on
the North Branch of Neuse River, com
monty called Connecta Creek, in a
pleasant and fruitful Country But the
few that are left of that Nation live on
the North Side of Moratuck, which is
all that Part of Roauoake below the
Grest Falls, toward Albemarle Sound.
Formerly there were Seven Towns
of these Savages, lying not far from
each other, but now their Number is
greatly reduced.
These Indians have very edd Ira
dition amongst them, that many years
ago, their Nation was grown so dis
honest, that no man could keep any
Goods, or so much as his loving Wife
to himself That, however, their God,
being unwilling to root them out for
their crimes, did them the honor to
send a Messenger from Heaven TO in
s,ruet them, and set them perfect
example of Integrity and kind Be
havior toward one another.
But this holy Person, with all his
Eloquence and Sanctity of Life, was
able to make very little Reformation
amongst them.
Some few old men did listen little
ts his wholesome advice, but all the
young fellows were quite incorrigible.
They not only Neglected his precepts,
but derided and Evil Entreated his
| Person. At last taking upon him to
reprove some Young rakes of the Con-
echta Clan very sharply for their inn
piety, they were so provoked at the
Freedom of his Rebukes, that they
tied him TO Tree, and shot him with
Arrows through the Heart.
But their God took instant Ven
geance on all who had hand III that
msnstrcus act, by lightnin G from
! Heaven, and has ever since visited
their nation with continued Train of
CT lamites, nor will he ever leave of
furnishing, and wasting their People
till he shall have blotted every living
Soul of them out of the World.

Washington June 12.-Develop-
ments since the conference at the
white house last Friday evening make
it probable that the government will
begin proceedh rs under the antitrust
act against Z. H. Hartman and his
associates for violations Of the law in
connection with the so-caIIed Alton
railroad deal, Union and Southern Pa
ciic transactions, and perhaps in con
nection with the Southern Pacific and
San Pedro traffic agreement.
The contemplated prosecution Of the
bituminous coal carrying roads, how
ever, viii likely await the result Of
action by the courts IN the cases to
be brought against the Hartman
roads. It is explained that there are
some important questions that are
common to both cases and therefore,
it is asserted, suits against the blum
nous coal roads will not be brought
until the courts have rendered judg
ment in the Hartman cases. In the
event Of an adverse decision as to
these common points. and the govern
meDt decides that the law, as it
stands, is inadequate to fully cover
the case, it is more than probable
that congress at the next session will
be asked to amend the law so as to
meet the present situation.
AS the report of the interstate com
merce commission on the Hartman
investigation has not been made yet
the action of the department Of JUS
tice in fling the bill will necessarily
be somewhat delayed. 1t is known
that the question Of the ACCESSIBILITY of
bringing any suit attacking the valid
ity of the Hartman Alton transaction
is one on which the interstate com
merce commission is divided and as
a result Of this difference of opinion,
two reports from the commission are
possible At the white house confer.
