Steel Betting.

Consul Frank S. Hannah, of Mag
deburg, writes that in a recent issue
of German technical paper, the use
of steel bands to take the place of
leather betting for the transmission
of power is stated to have proved
practicable after repeated tests by
a firm in Charlottenburg, its advan-
tages being given as follows:
The points of superiority claimed
for this new method for the trans
mission of power are the following:
On account of it's solidity a much
narrower band can be used, one
sixth of the width of the use of
leather band being sufficient; as a
result of this the steel band is not
so heavy as the usual band, and, as
it can be very tightly adjusted, the
distance between the engine and the
machine is not matter of impor-
lance, as is the case with the leather
betting, where the transmission of
power is dependent upon the weight
of the hanging belt; by unique con-
tact, the slipping is much reduced,
experiments showing not over one
tenth of one per cent. The entire
loss of power is very small, about one
per cent. BY the lightness of weight
of the steel betting, the influence of
the centrifugal force is not so great,
allowing increased velocity.

Fred Mills, American and Fighter.

%t+** 49, 4t4-+%4-%t% sss
utes kept the horde at bay. He made
burrows in the Nicaraguan forces at
every shot with his quick-firing au-
tomato. For a moment the Nicara-
guans fell back before the deadly
aim of the American, leaving the vic
Tins Of his craftsmanship groveling
among the graycstones.
In the heat of the next rush
random shot fired through the wall
behind Mills back penetrated his
body and for the moment brought
him to his knees. The Nicaraguans,
who had not been able to hit him in
the first rush, closed in with their
machetes. Mills fired his last shot
while still on his knees. His right
arm dropped as he was reversing the
pistol to use it as club. A bullet
had shattered his wrist.
With his left hand he drew his
sabre and leaned back against the
wall Weak from loss of blood as
he was, he still managed to run his
sword through three of the men clos
ing in upon him.
While his sword was still caught
in the body OF one man another
jumped for his throat, but Mills held
him off with the elbow of his shat
tered arm At this moment big
Nicaraguan negro who had climbed
the wall behind Mills leaped down
behind him. They both went down
in a heap. Mills took advantage of
| the deadly embrace in which they
were locked to use the negro's body
as shield Such was the fury of
| his foe that they hacked the body
of their own comrade to pieces in
their efforts to get at the hated
| gringo.
Rising with the body of the negro
held in front of him, Mills tottered
blindly to the nearest gravestone,
and there made his last stand. With
his bloody sword drawing dead line
about him he lasted full minute
| longer. He stood his full height
head and shoulders above his enc
mics. With his long reach he was
able to keep them at distance, but
he was a mark in the crowd to the
fellows on the wall.
Chips from the gravestone flew
about him, then suddenly a bullet
struck him square between the eyes
and he pitched forward his full
length. Even as he fell his enemies
jumped back. About the dead body
of Fred Mills lay the bodies of twen-
ty-fve soldiers whom he had slain
! in the uneven conflict.
The Nicaraguan officer who tells
the story says that the Americans
body had eighteen bullet wounds,
and it was a marvel to the whole
army how he had lasted SO long.
The Nicaraguans were so pro-
foundly impressed that, though they
did not know the strangers rank,
they gave him the honorable burial
that they would give to generalissi-
mo of their own forces.
When the last three volleys were
! fired over his grave they placed
over him the gravestone by which
he had fought and fallen, and rude
ly scrawled on it with sword an

around the top of the shell engages
with the mouth Of the receptacle and
supports the she'll in position. The
sides of the shell are spaced from the
wall of the receptacle, the sides of
the shell being straight, while the

WISE WORDS.

The original fox was man; Inc
original grapes were the girls he
couldn't kiss.
Being a wife often means being a
servant with the wages left out and
the privilege of eating with the fam
lily thrown in.
A mans desire for a son is usu-
ally nothing but the wish to dupli-
cate himself in order that such a
remarkable pattern may not be lost
to the world.
It isn't the girls whom he has
it's those whom he has loved and
never won.
Lazy men fancy that the wheel of
life is roulette wheel, on which
fortunes are won only by chance.
The happiest wife is not always
the one who marries the best man,
but the one who makes the best of
the man she marries.
"Who fndeth wife findeth good
thing" saith the Scriptures. Well,
that's what most men are looking for
nowadays.
1t isn't the big vague VOWS he
makes at the altar which a man finds
it so difficult to keep or to get around.
but the little foolish promises he
made before he ever got there.
1t is as foolish to try to reform a
man after he has just got his front
hair as to try to tame a lion after
he has got his second teeth.
People who can't afford them have
an ioea that there is something al
most immoral about hanson cabs
and automobiles.
1t is difficult to tell who is the
most grateful to Fate for his SEX
the woman who watches her husband
while he is in the throes of shaving,
or the man who sees his wife getting
into tight corset and a dress that
buttons up the back.
When a wife induces her husband
to get on the water wagon" against
his will he is likely to fall off with
fearful splash.
1t isn't the things man says that
prove he loves you, but the things
he tries to say and can't-the things
that choke right up in his throat and
leave him sitting dumb and miser-
able on your parlor divan.-From
"Recollections of Bachelor Girl"
in the New York World.

Reason and viii Power.

When the second phalanx of the
thumb is much longer than the nail
phalanx, there is discordant rela-
ton between reason and will.
Reason preponderates to such an
extent that the entire life is spent in
planning to do, without ever doing.
A person Of this kind sees clearly
what is best for him, but lacks deter
mination to put It into execution.
He sees the goal and the steps nee
essary for attaining IL; but in the
same glance he takes in all the obsta-
Giles, and while he is bordering the
matter the opportunity to win success
escapes,-New York Journal.

WHAT HE THOuGHT.

Tod was great thinker, and when
he spoke it was usually to tell what
he had been thinking. He was just
five years old, and on his birthday
his papa gave him bright new five
cent piece.
Il think / can buy more things
with a shiny five cent piece than
with an old one, can't I, mammal"
he asked.
Il think not" said mamma, "but
shiny ones are prettier."
One morning, when all the children
but Tod and Baby Bess had gone
to school. his mother asked him to
go down to the druggists and tell
him she was waiting for the package
he was to send.
Tod thought he could do this, so
mamma put on his big straw hat and
kissed him good-by, telling him to
hurry up, and to come straight home
when he had done his errand. She
watched him cross the street and go
round the corner, and soon began
to watch for him to come back.
1t was the first time that Tod ever
had been to astore alone, but he knew
the way perfectly. Just as he reached
the druggists Mrs. Jackson came in.
The clerk thought that Tod was Mrs.
Jackson's little boy. and that she had
left him to wait for her while she
did some other errand, so he did not
ask him if he wanted anything.
Tod waited and waited. He
watch the clerk dust pretty boxes and
beautiful cut glass bottles, and then
polish the shining faucets at the soda
fountain. The clerk was so busy
that Tod thought 1t would not be po-
lite to ask him about the package
until he had finished his work.
After long time Tod was so tired
that it seemed as If he could not be
polite another minute, and his eyes
began to need to be wiped When
he put his hand into his pocket to
get his handkerchief. he felt the shiny
coin, and touched it with gentle fin
gers. II think will keep you al
ways" he said, lovingly.
"Hello!" cried the clerk. did you
say something? What would you
like to-day, little MANI"
Starshine danced in Tod's eyes,
why, he said. 81 think I'd like some
soda water"
The clerk mixed the soda carefully,
and brought it round to the little
man. Tod laid his money down on
the counter to take the glass.
II think it is very nice. said Tod,
politely.
When the soda was almost gone,
the clerk picked up Tod's shiny five
cent piece, and dropped it into the
cash register. The bell rang, and a
figure five popped up.
Tod turned pale and trembled. The
clerk was frightened. why, what's
/ the matter?' he asked.
4 81 thought--why, l thought"
But sobs choked Tod SO that he could
not tell what he did think; and just
then he heard voice that called,
why, Tod, what's the matter?"
Then he was caught up in his moth
er's arms, where he sobbed out all
his grief Il thought I'd like some
soda water, but didn't think I'd got
to spend my shiny money!" he
gasped
think this, Tod, that no one ever
gets anything worth having without
paying for it," And then mother ex-
changed worn nickel for the shiny
pocket-pieee, and Tod dried his eyes
and trudged home a little wiser
