"On these hot days make the men
shut down every window and turn on
the steam heat" said the owner of
big factory the other day. 81 know
that sounds like crazy mans act, but
1t is the only thing to do. Working
away as they are, almost stripped, the
draft from open windows does the men
more harm than good. The thing that
makes them feel the heat is not so
much the soaring Of the mercury as
that of the humidity. Ninety-nine out
Of every hundred prostrations are
caused by the humidity. BY shutting
the windows to keep out the moist air
and by turning on the steam heat
thoroughly dry that which is already
inside. The temperature is driven 5
to 10 degrees higher by this means,
but the consequent diminution Of hu.
midity more than counteractS this.
Before | caught on to this scheme
used to have employees Frustrated al
most every day through the summer
months, and on very hot days had to
shut down altogether. Now the men
work on the hottest days. and not one
has been Frustrated this year. ! know
it sounds crazy, but you just try it and
you'll be surprised at the result"

WHY TURNING HOUSE FAILED.
Mrs. Brace Used to Keep Brace Chas-
ing the Front Stoop.

ing the Front Stoop.
The recent statement that William
Reiman, jeweler has had plans
drawn for a revolving house at Bay
side. n. Y, caused much interest in
Chatham, n. j., because the late
George Brace of Meyersville, near
Chatham. invented a house of the re-
volving kind IA long time ago. Wesley
Bond of Chatham, one of the carpen-
ters employed on its construction, said
the other day:
THE house was swung on turn
table and the table was turned from
the dining room. Brace was ingenious
and he combined the dining room table
with the wheel to turn the house
around, so that he could use the wheel
for a table at meal hours and for a
wheel when he wanted to turn the
house around. His idea was to face
the front porch and sleeping rooms to-
ward the breeze in summer and away
from the winds in winter.
1T was Il great success as far as
that feature went, but Brace found it
inconvenient. He would come home
somewhat overwrought at times. and
Mrs. Brace when she heard him COM
Ing would turn the house around. The
rest of the night he would spend chas-
ing the front stoop. Finally he sent
for me- and we plugged up the turn
table. The house burned down little
while after that and when Brace built
new one there wasn't any turning

Kansas City, the other day.
And now the jewelers. have a new

TIMBER TESTING MACHINE.
Device to Tell How Much Shock Strue.

Briloa builders and contractors for
buildings which are intended To carry
variable loads will find much of in
.ereSt in a unique machine designed
w the United States government TO
help them 20 answer the question
which comes up very often. How is
the strength of wood affected by re-
peated shocks? At the present time no
satisfactory answer can be given. To
Important subject a special form of
impact machine has been designed by
the United States forest service to in
vestigate the behavior of wood under
repetitlve loading. and ii is to be built
by the University of Washington at
Seattle, Wash. and is to form a part
of the forest service timber testing
station operated in cooperation with
the university.
This machine will be provided with
100 pound hammer which can be
dropped upon the wood specimens I'M
der test from any height up to three
feet, says a forest service bulletin.
1t is so constructed as to be both au-
tomato and autographic The record
showing the behavior of the specimen
under test is drawn on n long sheet
of paper which constantly unwinds
from one cylinder and rolls up on an
other. This record is drawn by means
Of pencil attached to the hammer of
the machine. When the machine IS
started the hammer is automatically
raised TO height previously deter
mined, when it falls on the specimen
and continues to be raised and dropped
until the machine is stopped.
From the results to be obtained from
the tests made with this machine the
forest service hopes to he able to de-
wise more accurate and reliable methods
for calculating the stresses which tim

lures subject to repetitive loading have

after the one hundred and forty
seven articles were carefully read by
me, and some of them reread several
times, thirty-eight Of the best were
copied on typewriters that the manu-
script might go into the hands Of the
judges In uniform style. And that
there might be no question raised by
any one as to the absolute fairness In
the grading Of the papers complete
set of these copies was placed in the
hands of each Of four judges, who re-
side in different states or different Sec
tions of the same state, with the writ

GROUPING Of Accident Reports.

The American Anti-accident associa-
ton, whose headquarters are at
Sharpsville, Pa. recently adopted the
following resolution:
Resolved. That in view Of the appalling
number of accidents occurring daily
throughout the United States, resulting
in the killing and manning of over 1900
men, women and children and resulting
in enormous financial losses, and recog-
nlzing the powerful influence OF the pub
lie press as an educational factor, the
association hereby appeals to the press OF
America to use its influence in the mat
ter Of prevention of accidents by adopt
ing the plan Of placing all accidents un-
der a regular heading. as is done with
sporting news, financial and other fea-
lures; further
Resolved, That it is the belief of this
association that such featuring OF acci-
dents would tend to bring the matter
more closely to the attention Of the
masses. making a deeper impression upon
the public mind, causing people to more
carefully consider their causes and pos
sible prevention, which. we believe, would
result in q lasting bensnt to mankind
