apart and two inches high.
These teeth are cut to a sharp edge

the propelling power. The wheel is
connected with the engine by means

divided by the PROV of the casing, are

Imitation Ivory.

A recent German patent describes
the preparation of a casting mass COM
posed of slaked lime and water. with
small quantities Of alkali and a carbo-
hydrate. One hundred parts of a stiff
paste Of we'll slaked lime, containing
approximately equal amounts Of lime
and water. are mixed with one or two
parts Of a carbohydrate free from
water. such as gum arabic. dextrin or
sugar, and an equal quantity of a pot
ash or soda salt which is decomposed
by lime. The mixture becomes as fluid
as If a large quantity of water had
been added to the lime, but soon solid

Warming the Body.

Vigorous exercise in the open air has
long been advocated for warming the
body. The teamster who is chilled
and beats his body with his arms is a
we'll known example. The same effect
that the action produces can be pro-
duced by the deep breathing. only the
whole body will be warmed to a great
er extent. for. while the physical ac-
ton drives the blood made sluggish by
the cold through the arteries. the rap
Id breathing increases it's power Of
warming much as the draft of whisky
does. a combination of the breathing
and action warns the body more Of
fectively than a steam heater.-Boston

fornia to Virginia. This means that the
teams Of the two big leagues are in
training and pennant winners and
runners-up are in the making. The
teams are in the crucible, and on this
spring training depends largely the
success or failure of a club in the pen
nant race to follow.
A boy not yet eighteen years of age
has the entire pugilistic world talking
of his work at present, and he is re-
garded as the fistic marvel Of the pres
ent day. The youngster is Pal Moore
of Philadelphia. who is now in line for.
the bantamweight title. Pal has met
and defeated all the boys Of class in
New York-JOe Coster, Young Wagner.
Knockout Brown. Young O'L.eary and
Phil McGovern. In Boston recently
Pal beat Harry Meirs, looked upon as
a champion in the Hub, and knocked
him out in eight rounds. Former
Worlds Champion Jim Corbett, who
was at the Armory club that night,
pronounced Moore a marvel.
A month ago Harry Thomas, the
champion English bantam, was beaten
by Pal in ten rounds, and after that
contest the little Philadelphian has
been able to command any price in
New York. Efforts are being made to
have Pal meet Abe Attell in a New
York ring, but the chances are that his
manager will hold off until later, as
the little fellow can benefit by a years
seasoning.
Residents Of Moorestown, N. j., have
been startled recently by the appear
in that locality of a new motor.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1910-04-13

shown in the illustrations. The vanes
are geared to a series of piston rods
which operate the cylinders to fill a
compressed air chamber. The latter,
by means OF a pair of air motors,
operates a dynamo and generates cleo
tricity. which may be conveyed to any
desired spot and utilized.
The construction shown in Fig. 2
depends for it's operation on an entire
~ different principle. 1t is we'll known
that the wave disturbance of the ocean
does not extend to any great depth,
and it is the relative motion of the
surface water with respect to the
water at a considerable depth that is
made use Of in this ease to generate
power. A float is provided, from the
center of which projects a shaft fitted
at it's lower end with a set of radial
fins. When the float is rocked by the
waves the shaft tends to remain YER
teal owing to these fins. Mounted on
the float is a series of cylinders pro-
vided with the usual pistons, which
are connected to III extension Of the
vertical shaft just referred to, and,
while the pistons remain virtually fix
ed, the cylinders are re%ciprocated upon
by the rocking of the float. The
p1stons serve to circulate oil through
a rotary engine, which in turn drives
a dynamo and thus generates electric
city. When the wave motion becomes
too violent an electrically operated by
pass permits a portion of the oil to
circulate without passing through the
motor. and thus an excessive speed is
prevented.
