The people of Harper's Ferry district
are agitating the question of erecting
graded and high school building for the
Joint use OF the two towns of Harper's
Ferry and Bolivar. But the new tax laws
throw obstacles in the way. II is pro-
posed to put up building that will cost
about $40, 900, and in order to do this the
Board of Education must order an election
submitting the subject to the decision OF
the taxpayers first. Three-fifths OF the
voters must support the proposition in
order to give the board authority to pro-

]. Orville Kefauver, son of Lewis F.
Kefauver, near town, had an unpleasant
experience few days ago. While in the
barnyard he saw large rat darling in and
out under the cornstalks. Procuring a
stick he started to hunt the rodent
While poking in among the stalks, the rat
ran up Mr.. Kefauver's pants leg and hid
himself under his shirt on his back. Mr..
Kefauver made desperate efforts to dis
lodge the rat, but to no avail. Members
of the family who heard Mr.. Kefauver
calling for help and acting queerly, went
to his assistance, and the rat could be dis
lodged only by cutting the shiTt. Mr..
Kefauver says he wants no more such
riences.|Middletown Register.

THE Wheeling lntelligencer, comment
ing on the fact that of 30 appeal cases re-
ported in the West Virginia Bar for June
II were reversed and only Is affirmed,
says that when the lawyers err, all they
have to do is to try it over again; while
a physicians mistake may cost a life, an
engineers error may cause a wreck, an
editors lack OF judgment bring on a libel
suit. and so on.
This opens up curious line OF thought
but is the Intelligencer correct in assum-
ing that the Court of Appeals is always
right?

1T is plain that Senator McEnery, of
Louisiana, is not flt to represent the DEM
ocratic party. He votes with the Repub-
licans in the Senate every time that his
vote is needed to perpetuate or increase
high tariff schedule, which indicates one
of two things: That in principle he is a
Republican, and therefore has no place as
an advocate of Democratic principles, or
he has deliberately traded himself off for
personal or sectional favors, and conse-
quently is an unfit man for official or hon
orable position.
We do not 60 into the question of ac-
tual sale to the trusts.

IN seeking to justify his vote for tariff
on lumber, Senator Bailey, who thus vio-
lated his party platform, says that political
conventions have authority only to NOM
mate candidates and declare the general
principles of a party.
Well, if low tariff on lumber isn't a
principle of the Democratic party it hasn't
any principles. And if Senator Bailey
didn't violate it he's bovalipus.

"THIS Isl green-goods proposition-an
attempt to bunco the American people, "
said Senator Deliver, Republican, of Iowa,
in reference to the schedule on cotton
goods proposed by Senator Aldrich in the
new tariff bill. Instead of reforming the
tariff rates, Aldrich and his gang are max
ing them higher than ever before for the
benefit OF the New England mill owners,
who have already gotten fabulously rich
by plundering the public, and the people
will have to pay increased price for all
kinds of cotton goods.

until the American bureau of forestry
recently published the results of some
experiments no one was sure why
The bureau of forestry selected four
pine trees of the same age and of
equal vigor, growing in the same soil,
and felled them, the first at the end
of December, the second at the end
of January, the third at the end of
February, the fourth at the end of
March. They were hewn into logs OF
the same size and dried at the same
place. Then the logs were tested.
The December log resisted a fiexile
strain twice as strong as that which
the March log resisted; it furnished
piles which were still perfect and
undecayed sixteen years later, while
the piles made from the March log
had rotted within three or four years.
Wood that is felled in December is
less perfect than that cut at other
times. 1t has been proven that oak
felled in the spring allowed water to
percolate through it in from two to

OF THE MAGNET.
10 Now an Indispensable instrument
in the Workshop.

The magnet that boys Of yesterday
used for a toy to-day as men they are
employing as a useful instrument In
their workshops. Within the last few
years particularly, as w. Frank Nc
Clure points out, 1t Is being adapted
to handle many shapes of metal, all
forms of iron and steel, from iron dust
to scraps, or small junk to weights
of 10000 pounds. In fact, the world s
largest magnet will lift as much as
$4,000 pounds. The magnet Is en-
ployed to break up imperfect cast
ton while they are being riveted In
the building of ships. to lift q SOW
and pigs" at the furnaces, also as a
gigantic broom to sweep both the
large and small pieces OF iron, and In
numerous other ways.
A half dozen kegs Of nails may be
seen travelling through the air, held
by magnetic lines OF forces despite the
wooden covering of the kegs. Even
two or three men are sometimes lifted
from the ground, their feet resting on
a metal sheet which is firmly held by
the magnet. The fiat style Of magnet
is available for picking up metal
sheets, from two to six at a time, one
under the other, the number depend
ing upon their thickness. These may
be dropped by the magnet one at a
time at the desire of the operator pro-
vided he Is clever in adjusting the
switch at precisely the right inter
