Copper Metal Given Temper of Keen
 Razor.

M. -Macomb, a locomotive fireman running on the freight between Ber- son and Lordsburg, N. M, slaves himself with a razor made of pure copper and when he sits down to eat he cuts his bread with an eight-inch knife made of the same metal. Ma comb says that he has solved the art of tempering copper, lost centuries before the beginning of known civil ization and those who have looked upon his handiwork and felt the keen edges are confident that his claims are based on no idle dream.
 It is only recently that Macomb has made public his discoveries and he says that he has already interest ed one of the largest copper concerns in the world in his invented process for which he has obtained United States patent. According to the in- ventor his father, who was black smith, worked for thirty years in an effort to rediscover the lost art, turn ing over his work to his son several years before his death. For the last five years Macomb has devoted all of his spare time to perfecting the pro cess and he says now that his experl- mental work is over that he has the process completed and that he can temper any quantity ot copper to a hardness superior to the hardest steel, but without the brittle qualities of the latter.
 According to the inventor, the pro- cess of tempering copper requires a period of almost four years, but he states that he can with a plant that would cost about 5000, turn out a large quantity of the tempered pro- duct at cost not exceeding S1O per ton, although it would be almost four years before any of it was ready for the market.
 Whether or not Macomb's process is of commercial value he undoubted- Iy has a razor and butcher knife made of pure copper that have edges riv- aling the keenness of the finest steel razors, which require practically nc honing and any one can shave com fortably with either. It is possible to bend the blades perceptibly after which they spring back, showing that the temper is there. In the presence of your correspondent, Macomb whit tied piece of wood and then shaved the face of another railroader pres ent, who declared that it was first class tonsorial operation.
 Macomb has little to say regarding the commercializing of his invention although he stated that he had con vinced a representative of the Gugg enheims at Fl Paso that he could temper copper and that he was wait ing to hear what sort of proposition the company would make him. Al though the process, if it proves feas ible, will be worth millions to him Macomb declares that his price oI producing the tempered metal would De a reasonable one, but he absolute ly refuses to discuss the secrets in volved in the operation for any amount of money.

With the exception of March the July production is the largest for any month this year. For the first seven months of 1909 the Butte mines have produced a total of 1S3, ,O1l ,lO4 pounds of copper, which is E per cent in excess of the first seven months of last year and slightly ahead of the 1907 record.

Still has his Beverage.

Fairmont has been ''dry" for over a
year. Since the saloons were closed
weekly shipments of beer from nearby
towns have been made here and week
ly sums that reach an average of 81, 600
have been expended in nearby towns
for the beverage. The local drinker,
by the reason of closing the local sa-
looms, does not go without his bever-
age. 1t is delivered to his home or left
for him at the station by the nearby
brewery from which he orders. The
system is being so cleverly worked,
that an order for beer placed in the
morning will result in its delivery to
Fairmont the same afternoon. The
Fairmont brewery in operation will
not add to the conveniences of the
neither will induce him to pur-
chase more beer than he is now buy
ing, or drink more than he is now
AT present beer cannot be
bought by the bottle and it cannot be
SO secured from the brewery if that in
stitution is granted a wholesale license.
Over 100000 of Fairmont money has
been poured into the Golfers of nearby
and rival towns in the payment for
beer since Fairmont voted out the sa-
looms. So long as the product cannot
be purchased here the amonnt will in
crease and not diminish.-Fairmont

Rayner's Language Lesson.
From the Washington Times. I

From the Washington Times.
Senator Rayner sprung some Ian
guage lessons on the Senate while dis
cussing the pineapple schedule. He
was contending that the word revision
simply meant ''seeing again, and that
it might mean upward or downward,
and when the Republican party prom
ised nothing, Though the people did not
understand this.
"'Revise' means to see again." said
Senator Rayner. SIT comes from the
Latin word 're,' again, and 'videre,' to
see. Translated into French, it is 'au
revoir,' in German it is 'wiedersehn'
and translated into every dead and liv-
ing language it has but one definition
and means but one thing, and the ex-
pert who framed the Republican plat
form, being lawyer of great distinc-
tion, now occupying high place in the
Federal service, knew exactly what he
was doing when he put the word 're-
vision into the body of the instrument.
He meant Eau revoir,' we will see you
again, we will look you over, we will
review YOU"

Mr.. Adair Gives Information of Lost
Saber.

Last Tuesdays Baltimore American
contained the following information
from Mr.. J. Med. Adair with reference
to oasaber mentioned in the report OF
Hunter's raid through Lexington and
published in last weeks Gazette:
Though The American Mr.. James
+. Hays, of Waverly, Md, has located
saber which he lost in the civil war
45 years age. In the Sunday American
of June 13 appeared an article by Mr..
Hays entitled "With Hunter at Lynch
burg" In the course of it he described
a skirmish at Lexington, Va, in which
his horse was crippled so badly he had
to leave him. To prevent the enemy
from getting his bride and saddle he
cut them to pieces, while his saber he
hid in hollow tree, where, he added,
sit may be today"
Mr.. Hays has just received letter
from Mr.. ]. Med. Adair of Lexington,
Va, who had read the account in The
American, telling him the sword had
been found and where it is now. Mr..
Hays was most agreeably surprised
and will take steps to recover his old
weapon. The letter of Mr.. Adair to
Mr.. Hays follows:
Dear Sir:-Have just read your letter
giving account of your march with
General Hunter through the Valley.
The sword you refer to here was found
by Mr.. Tomlin some time ago, and
can, expect, be had now. I know a
gentleman who saw the sword and
knew all about how Mr.. Tomlin found
it in the tree. It has always been
thought here that the sword belonged
to Colonel Tauk, who was killed in
the small engagement here, I was talk
ing to lady recently who lived just
where he was killed, gave them some
water for him, and saw him taken up
ON the brow of the hill and buried un-
der the tree in which the sword was
found. His body was afterwards re-
moved.
1 am not certain that have the Col
Onel's name right. 1t was something
like 1 haveit. 1t may have been Turk.
Very truly yours,

Protecting the Farmer.

In the course of the debate few days
ago Senator Gore said: Nobody who
believes in duty on corn ought to be
allowed to run at large outside of the
Senate" This witticism suggests an
inquiry into the agricultural schedule
of the tariff bill, and we find that the
farmers have not been forgotten.
Whether the remembrance will recon-
cile the tillers of the soil to some other
things in the bill remains TO be seen.
Corn has been given duty of 10 cents
per bushel. Our corn imports in 1907
were less than 10000 bushels; the do
mestic product exceeded 2,5OO, 600, 600
bushels. 1t will be observed that corn
in this country is not an "infant indus
try" If the 15-cent duty fails to dispel
the horrible shadow that hangs over
American corn raisers in the form of
''foreign competition" it will at lsast
serve to assist the spellbinder in con-
vincing our bucolic brother that the
tariff makers were not unmndful of
his interests.
The Senate bill increases the duty on
oats from Is cents to 20 cents bushel.
Here again the domestic farmer will
breathe satisfying sign, for the 1000
bushels of imports in 1907 must have
been an awful menace against the 154,
1900 bushels that he produced. The
wheat duty was advanced from 25 10
80 cents per bushel, an increase of 20
per cent. This will put a check to the
threatened destruction of the business
of wheat raising in this country, for in
1907 the foreign wheat raiser sent us
the enormous amount of 10, 600 bushels
and we produced only 634, 900, 600 BUSH
els.
But the committee fairly Overfiowed
with generosity in the matter of rye,
on which the duty is increased 100 per
cent. The imports of rye in 1907 were
157 bushels; we produced 81, ,566, 900
bushels. The value of buck wheat flour
imported in 1907 was $6S3; of buck heat
itself the domestic production amount
ed to more than 14,OOO,00O bushels.
Consequently the duty on buckwheat
flour was increased from 20 cents to 25
cents. What boots it that the sugar
which the cheerful housewife converts
into sirup for the glad breakfast table
sustains "A tax OF nearly two cents per
pound? Is not the buckwheat cake
protected also against foreign invasion?

SHORT HEALTH TALKS.
FIGHTING THE MOSQUITO.
(No. 81

The fly and the mosquito have con-
| fiicting claims as to the most obnox-
ious pest of the summer. While the
former may claim to be a greater men
ace to health in that he carries the
germs of more disease, the latter has
his special claims. The mosquito is
very difficult to get out of the house
when once he enters; he can cause a
maximum of annoyance and incon-
venience during the night hours; and
he is the agent for spreading malaria,
which annually atficts thousands in
the State.
There are some hundreds of forms of
mosquitoes. Some of them are per-
fectly harmless SO far as carrying dis
ease is concerned. Other forms, not
less unsuspicious looking, can spread
malaria broadcast. The layman can
ccarcely detect the anopheles, or ma
laria mosquito, from the culeX, or
harmless mosquito.
The only sure method of Kidding any
home of mosquitoes is to prevent their
breeding. Inasmuch as they seldom
fly more than a few hundred feet from
their breeding place, they can readily
be killed off by destroying all breed
ing places. Mosquitoes never hatch
except in standing water, hence if all
standing water is drained off they will
be killed.
1t sometimes happens that the
breeding places of mosquitoes cannot
be altogether removed. In such a
case, the pest-ridden man has another
resource, not less efflcacious. If he
will take watering pot, fill it with
kerocene oil, and pour the contents
lightly over the standing water, he
can prevent the breathing of young
mosquitoes and thereby can kill them
off. A quart of kerosene, lightly
sprayed, will effectually cover the sur
face of small pond.
1t must be remembered that running
water is not a breeding place for mos
quitoes and that they cannot hatch
until they have been in water for at
least ten days. But is equally true
that they can breed and hatch by
thousands in a very small amount of
wBter. They may hatch, it is true, in
a stagnant pond, but they can hatch
just as we'll and almost as numerously
in rain barrel or fower-pot. A tin
can left near the house and filled by
the rain may be the lurking place of
the breeders.
The only safe course is to examine
thoroughly the surroundings of your
house and destroy or oil every pool of
standing water, great and small

Ject in view; but objects not in view,
and by no means desired, are brought
about on the largest scale: vast and
useless expenditure, perjury and sub
ornation Of perjury, violation of Jurors
oaths, corrupt bribery of public officers,
the local elections turned into scramble
for the possession of the offices con-
trolling the public machinery for the
punishment of offense, in order that
they may be bought and sold for a
price; law and its administration
brought into public contempt, and
many men otherwise esteemed as good
citizens made insensible to the turpi-
tude of perjury, bribery, and corrup-
tion, animosity created between differ
ent bodies of citizens, rendering them
incapable of acting together for con-
fessedly good objects.
"The questions may be asked almost
Indignantly whether society must en-
dure the open maintenance of places
where men are tempted to ruin them
selves and their families by indul-
gence III drink and are led into the
commission of the worst of crimes;
whether gambling and vice must be
permitted to go unrestrained; whether
children are to be allowed to grow up
in ignorance and idleness and become
mischievous members of society; in
short, whether society must content
itself with waiting until mischievous
practices ripen into manifest crime be-
fore it enforces its discipline, and re-
frain from all attempts to prevent the
operation of causes known to be fruit
full in the crimes it must eventually
punish? 1t may NOE be easy to give
answers to such questions satisfactory
to all, and the tasks of legisla' ion are
often undoubtedly difficult.
THE TRUE REMEDY.
"Any detailed consideration of them
is beyond my present purpose, which
is only to indicate the general nature
and function of criminal legislation
and the general limits within which it
should be confined; but 1 do not hesi-
tate to say that any legislation which
bears the characteristics of tyranny, as
have defined that term, is vicious in
theory and has never yet succeeded,
and never will succeed, in gaining its
avowed end, or in having any other
than an injurious effect; and venture
to add that if the zeal and labor which
have been employed by what are
called the better classes of society in
efforts to enact and enforce laws re-
pressive of liberty, had been ex-
pended in kindly and sympathetic
efforts to change and elevate the
thoughts and desires of those less for
tunate than themselves, benefit
would have been reaped in the dimi-
mutton of misery and crime which
compulsory laws could never accom-
plish. Moral ends can meyer be gained
except by moral means. All the ad-
vances in civilization and morality
which society has thus far made are
due to the cultivation and develop
ment of those moral sympathies which
find their activity in cooperation and
mutual aid.
