Our Inyincible Flag.


%, flag of our fathers! o, flag of our
sons! O.. flag of worlds desire.
Thru the night and the light, thru the
fright and the fight, thru the smoke
and the cloud and the fire,
There are arms TO defend, there are
hearts to befriend, there are souls
to bear up from the pail,
While thy cluster of stars broodeth
/ over the wars that justice and
mercy befall;
There are breasts that will clasp it
i when tattered and torn, there are
prayers that brood like dove,
There are fingers to fashion it fold
/ upon fold. and hands that will
wave it above.
IN fares the land, to fastening ills a
prey
Where wealth accumulates, and men
decay;
Princes and lords may flourish or may
fade,
A breath can make them, as a breath
has made;
But a well taught people. their coun-
try's pride.
If once destroyed can never be sup
piled.

The Hammer Of the Free.

On each breeze that floats along,
Let there be the voice Of song;
oh, loudly cheer our banner dear, that
waves above.
No other cOlors shine,
Native land, SO bright as thine
And thine our praise shall be, country
that we love.
Hard was the fight
The struggle for the right;
Our fathers blood-bought blessing let
US ever prize.

,..c As the Flag Goes BY.
(By II. C. Bunner)
Off with your hat as the Flag goes by!
And let the heart have its say;
You're man enough for a tear in your
eye
That you will not wipe away.
You're man enough for thrill that
goes
To your very finger tips
Ay! the lump just then in your throat
that rose
Spoke more than your parted lips.
Lift up the boy on your shoulder, high,
And show him the faded shred
Those stripes would be red as the SUM-
set sky
If death could have dyed them red.
The man that bore it with death has
lain
These 80 years and more
He died that the work should not be
vain
OF the men who bore it before.
The man that bears it is bent and old,
And ragged his beard and gray
But look at his eye fire young and bold
At the tune that he hears them play.
The old tune thunders thru all the air
And strikes right into the heart;
If it ever calls for you, boy, be therei
Be there and ready to start.
Off with your hat as the Flag goes by!
Uncover the youngsters head!
Teach him to hold it holy and high,
For the sake of it's sacred dead.

Sure Cure for canker Sores.

Canker sores when they first appear
in the mouth can be readily cured by
applying red vaselne. Anoint the sores
just before retiring at night, and once
or twice during the day. Sometimes a
simple application will be enough. The
writer knows of no better, milder REM
edy for these painful sores.

Mere figures convey but little idea to
the average reader; comparisons are
more valuable. It has been pointed out
that every so working days the men
who are digging the Panama Canal are
removing an amount of dirt which, If
piled in one place, would make heap
equal to the great pyramid of Cheops,
which it took 100000 men 20 years to

We are eager with our thanks, we arc
pressing on their ranks,
We are grasping hands that held the
stars unbroken;
And we sadly think of those who are
sleeping with their foes,
J While our trembling tongues give
welcome sadly spoken.
But long delay is past; they have
brought us peace at last,
And how proudly thru our veins the
blood is bounding,
Yet we bless our honored dead, while
the steady martial tread
OF returning veterans in our ears is
sounding.
They are coming from the war, they
are bringing home the stars,
Yes. they are bringing back the ole
flag, too, in glory;
They have battled long and well and
let after ages tell
How they won the proudest name in
song or glory.
See where it flies; tits Freedoms hol,

Thrice let the air break with our louG
hurrahs!
Let every heart. with proud and glad

Pour forth in love to all its Stripes

All cheer the flag! a1urrah! hurrah!

cutting Metal. with Oxygen.

Much interest is developing among
iron and steel men in the process of
cutting metals by stream of oxygen.
The work is done by means OF blow
pipe with two MOBILES, one of viii IN
delivers an ignited jet of mixed oxygen
and hydrogen and the second a pure
stream of oxygen. This burns rapidly
thru the metal to which it is applied,
making a smooth cut which requires
little or no finishing. 1t is said that 1t
does not affect the metal more than
one-hundredth of an inch outside of
the cut, and by it armor plates can be
cut in one-twentieth of the time re-
quired for mechanical cutting. 1t costs
far less strain and injury to the metal
than are liable in shearing and punch
ing II. At cost of two cents per cubic
foot for oxygen and twO-thirds of a
cent for hydrogen, the cost of cutting a
steel plate four-fifths of an inch thick
is about seven and one-fourth cents
per running foot, or half the cost OF
mechanical cutting. The process is now
being introduced into rolling mills, boil
er shops and machine shops, and has
been found useful in reducing scrap to
a condition for the furnaces.

Altho remarkable progress has been
MADE in standardizing American rail-
reaasssyei very much remains to be
d6ne in the way of promoting the con-
venience and economy of administra-
ton by uniformity on all the roads Of
the country. AT it's session last week in
New. York the american Railway Asso-
citation adopted a standard series Of
rails of two types for both Bessemer
and open-hearth rails. This in effect
adopts one type of a rail weighing from
SO to 100 pounds per yard, and will be
a general advantage to all concerned.
With but one type of rail machinery
manufacturing can be simplified, and
the cost to plant greatly reduced from
what it has been where rolls had to be
maintained for some dozen different
types. The next step is to standardize
the cars and classify the nomenclature
with general code of air-brake signals
which will be the same for every part
of the country. This will help to re-
duce. accidents by making signals abso-
1utely unmistakable on the part of en-
ployes.

STEEL Betting.

Consul Frank S. Hannah, of Madge-
burg, writes that the Germans are sue
cessfully using steel bands to take the
place of leather betting. On account of
its solidity much narrower band can
be used, one-sixth of the width of the
usual leather belt being sufficient.
Therefore, the steel band is not SO
heavy, and 1t can be more tightly adj
justed, greatly reducing the Importance
of the distance between the engine and
the pulley. The lightness of the steel
band allews an increase OF velocity.

revival of interest in bicycles, and the
manufacturers are once more over
whelmed, with orders. The industry
reached the lowest point in 1904, when
the fad for the vehicles died out in So
ciety, and the only users were men
who needed the,l in their business. OF
that year on:s 100000 bicycles were
made in this country, but last year the
number raised to 10000 and it is said
that this year there will be 1,250,000
wheels turned out. A great many men
who gave up the cycle when it ceased
to be fashionable are resuming it with
benefit to their health and greater con-
veniences in business. The revival is
not confined to this country, but is
equally active in Canada and Great
Britain.

The English engineers are trying the
experiment Of spraying roads with tar
to keep down the dust and reduce the
cost of maintenance. SO far the ex-
pertinent seems TO have been unusually
successful. 1t is reported that the tar
penetrates to the depth of half an inch,
forming a water-tight skin, which sheds
the newly-fallen rain rapidly and dries
speedily when the storm is over. The
best results have been obtained when
the tar was forced against the surface
in the form of a fine spray. The cost of
repair has been greatly reduced, as well
as that of sweeping the roads. When
the surface is broken a tarred patch is
easily and cheaply applied.
The British have made an important
change in their patent policy Hereto
fore anything could be patented upon
application, and the patentee was left
to fight 1t out in the courts whether his
patent was of any value or not Now
the American practice will be followed,
in the case of home patents. at least,
and an investigation will be made as
to whether the article is really patent
able or not. This method does not ex-
tend TO foreign patents, which are ac-
cepted on their face and their validity
left to be determined by the courts.
