ALL ABOARD FOR
TRAIN OF SMILES
Trip to Mexico Planned by
Society Of Good Cheer.
OPTIMISM SEED TO Be SOWN.

Throughout the Route From New York
the Glad Hand Will Be Extended
Over the Car Platform - Special
Songs and Music to es Used.
Miss Theora Carter, president Of the
Society Of Good Cheer, incorporated,
returned a few days ago to New York
from her organizing trip west and
told Of the latest plan Of that inter-
esting society. The Cheer Up club,
founded in New York city only a year
ago and started with the idea Of cheer
ing the convalescent sick in the large
hospitals, is to make its mission Of
good cheer international. Arrange.
ments are now being made for a spe-
cial train. to start from New York for
the City Of Mexico, all laden down
with the sunny smiles Of a hundred
or 81 Of the most cheerful people on
the continent.
Will Extend the Glad Hand.
When they reach their destination
they will in effect tell President Diaz
Of Mexico to "Cheer up! The worst is
vet to comet! But all along their
route, which will include Chicago, st.
Louis and most Of the prominent cit
les Of the middle west, they will be
extending the 'glad hand" over the
a platform to every sad, dismal man,
woman and child.
"The train will be decorated through
out" said Miss Carter, with the col
ors of the society-red, white and blue
for every cheerful person Is a firm
patriot in this splendid country Of ours.
We are having special songs and mu-
sic prepared for use en- route. In all
the large cities we shall hold public
meetings and preach the gospel Of
cheerfulncss by word and deed. In
each town we shall try to visit some
Of the hospitals or take some poor lit
tie children out to ride or do some
thing substantial to show that our
faith is more than a philosophy Of
words. In the smaller towns we shall
at least have speeches from the real
platform of the train. 1t will be like
a crusade of old, only we shall carry u
smile instead of a sword.
Any Ono May Join.
"More than a hundred people here in
New York and in Boston, Chicago, Sc
attle-all over the United States-have
already promised to take this trip, and
I expect many more to join. Our lit
tie society Of a year ago is becoming a
great movement. And next year we
shall carry our work abroad, probably
to England first. Any one may join
US. All he has to do is to cheer up
first himself, then somebody else"
The date for the departure of the
strain of smiles" is not yet fixed. but
will be announced shortly.

FINDER OF WILD PIGEON NEST
Canadian Claims $1,000 Reward offered
by Naturaiists.

Canadian Claims $1,000 Reward offered
by Naturalists.
DR.. Clifton H. Hodge of Clark uni
versity announced the other day that
the probable winner Of a $1,000 reward
offered for the discovery of the first
nest Of North American or passenger
pigeons in America is G. H. Patience of
a town in Ontario, Canada. Dr.. Hodge
would not reveal the name of the
town.
A telegram has been received from
Mr.. Patience stating that he had dis
covered a nest, with a female sitting
on it, and DR.. Hodge stated that he
would Immediately go to Ontario to in
vestigate the claim.
The reward is part Of a subscription
of $500 by naturalists of the United
States and Canada to be used in the
work of preventing the extinction of
the bird. This particular breed of pi-
geon was numerous in America up to
the early eighties, but since then has
been gradually dying out until now the
species is very rare.

STUDY OF POTATO RAISING.
American Department Of Agriculture
Will Send Exrert Abroad.


Potato raising in Europe is to be in
v%estigated by the United States de-
partment of agriculture. A special
agent Of the department, Eugene
Grubb Of ~Carbondale, Colo, is to be
sent abroad to study the European po-
tato in all its aspects. The department
has been Interested in European po-
tato raising for some time and want
ed to know why so much larger crops
could be raised abroad than We're rails
ed in the United States.
The average for the United States is
only about eighty bushels per acre,
while abroad they average owe 100
bushels. In fact, on M of Lord Rose
bery's farms in England they are re-
ported to raise 200 bushels per acre.
1t is thought, however, that this is
some special strain of potato, possibly
that used on the continent as stock
food. There is a very large potato
that is raised in Germany as stock
food and for the manufacture Of alco-
hol, and this is now being tried in the
United States. but the results have not
yet been made public.
There is a very large annual i'm
portation Of potatoes to the United
States. and the department of agricul.
ture wants to see whether with i'm
proved seed and better methods of
cultivation it will not be possible to
largely stop this leak in agricultural
finances.

HINT FOR INVENTORS.
Convenient Method Of Making Patterns
Of Small Objects.

Convenient Method Of Making Patterns
Of Small Objects.
How often does the inventor want
to see how a thing will look in met
al" but on account Of the expense and
delay involved dislikes to make q pat
tern and take 1t to the foundry,
writes q correspondent of Popular Me-
chanics. A wood pattern Of some de-
sign. say a handle. would take con-
siderable time to make and finish up
Sc it would make a decent casting.
In the case Of many small articles
much trouble may be saved by making
what the writer has termed "beeswax
patterns" They may be made as fol-
lows: Pour the melted beeswax into a
vough mold "a paper box will do) ap-
proximately the size you wish for
your pattern. When this wax is cold
carve it to the desired shape, using a
sharp knife slightly warmed. Make
another rough mold similar to the first
and ill with plaster Of paris mixed
with water to the consistency of
cream. lmmerse the beeswax pattern
in this. leaving vents and gates and
taking care that no air bubbles form,
and let stand until set and thoroughly
dry. Slowly heat the plaster to a tenn
perature sufficient to aus all the
beeswax to run out of the gates and
vents which have been provided.
Pour in melted solder to replace the
wax. allow it to harden and break
open the plaster. You will then have
a smooth solder casting. which, If nee
essary, can be worked to a better
shape with the soldering iron. This
solder casting may be used for a pat
tern which will give excellent results.
Beeswax lends itself we'll to this
kind Of 'sculpturing" If rightly han
died. 1t may be turned on a lathe,
drilled and generally fashioned at will,
This method is not practicable where
a core. as for the inside of a ball, is
required, but otherwise has a wide
range of usefulness.

Disease In PAPER Money.

Germs - 90. 100000 of them were
found on a single one dollar bill by
scientists Of the department Of agri-
culture. The bill was exceptionally
dirty. In the big colony that was
thriving on the bill were the bacteria
Of smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid fe-
yer, tuberculosis and diphtheria.
Germs do not thrive on metal money.
The action Of the metal in coins, es-
pecially copper, seems to be hard on
the microbes. and If any get on they
die within a few hours. They will
live and thrive OF paper money for a
long time. The dollar bills. which are
the most frequently circulated, are the
worst from a sanitary point of view.

STOCK EXCHANGE REFORMS.
Remedies For Reforming Wall Street
Suggested by +. r. Toombs.

Remedies For Reforming Wall Street
Suggested by f. r. Toombs.
The need Of an investigation of the
New York Stock Exchange and the
enactment of legislation that will put
an end to abuses in Wall street was
discussed before the assembly ways
and means committee at Albany, N.
Y, the other day in a hearing on the
Toombs Investigation resolution. AS
semblyman Frederick Il. Toombs of
New York city scored the exchange
for its failure to reform itself and gave
many instances Of the evils of IRE
sponsible speculation in Wall street.
Remedies for reforming Wall street
that Mr.. Toombs suggested are:
The Incorporation of stock exchanges,
the prevention Of "pyramiding" and
the abolition Of corners"
Members Of the Stock Exchange
should be compelled by law to have
their books audited four times a year
by certified public accountants. be held,
and the results Of these examinations
made public in some effective way.
A law should be enacted forbidding
any member of an exchange dealing
for or carrying an account for any
clerk or subordinate Of any bank. trust
company or banker or any insurance
company.
The listing requirements md prac-
tees Of the New York Stock Exchange
should be controlled in some degree
by law and subject to review by the
courts in every detail.
Brokers should be penalized by law
for reporting a sale IN an order by u
customer when the sale was not ac.
tually made.
The trading On stock exchanges
should be done on the basis Of a rea.
sonably small unit, SO that the offers
of reasonably small lots Of stock
should mo- be ignored by traders offer
ing or bidding for larger amounts.
The hypothecating, loaning and 9th
er uses of customers securities held by
brokers should be rigidly restrained
and precautionary restrictions should
be placed on the use of banking funds
and speculation by big financial inter
ests.
The practices Of organizers and pro
moters, the reorganizers and the re
ceivers of corporations should have
closer supervision than exists under
the present laws.
IF the records of various transac
tons of the New York Stock Ex
change" said Mr.. Toombs. could bt
produced before this committee there
would be found records of many trans
actions through which minority stock
holders have suffered vital wrongs ani
losses which the courts through lacl
of legal authority have been unable t.
make right to the victims caught il
the gripping meshes of domineerin:
financial power and greed"

Up to the present time the most i'm

tungsten Is ordinarily used for tools.
It enables the steel to hold temper at a
much higher temperature than ordi-

the tool are SO hot that they turn blue.
