Too Risky.

In boring for oil when the drill
reaches the depth where it allows gas
to escape every precaution is taken
against igniting it lest there should be
a destructive explosion. This neces.
sary precaution gives point to the fol-
lowing story. told by a writer in the
PittSburg News:

The '09 tobacco crop is a hold-up.
There is all kinds of damage in it. The

fact that million or so now indulge in
the game in America. There is no reason
why ii should not be so. for no person is
too young or too old to indulge in the
pastime of aiming blows at any loose OBJ
ject in his path. Consequently the game
of golf is rapidly becoming universal.
That carries US to the point where the
management of golf crowds may become
matter of some concern. The gallery is
likely TO be careless. often using the neigh
borhood of a putting green as a point of
vantage for observing the favorite's tee
shot, utterly regardless Of those who may
be in his wake. So far as congested links

the intervals between players should. when

In reply to this | would say that there is
no hard and fast rule applying to any of
these questions. The duties of profess
sional depend entirely upon the green he
secures. He may have to take off his coat,
pitch in and lend a hand at ANY old sort"

device closes and opens the primary cir
cuit. producing two impulses of the second
airy circuit This does not suffice to pro-
duce the required spark, so additional
means are used to make and break the
circuit during the making of contact by
the timer. To do this a vibrator is en-
ployed. This is a fat steel spring, fixed at
one end, and vibrating, therefore, like a
trning fork. About in the middle of the
spring the point of an adjusting screw
comes into contact with il, screw and
spring being tipped with platinum to
Offset corroson. If one wire of the circuit
is attached to the blade, as the fiat spring
is called, and the other to the screw, the
circuit will be made and broken with the
breaks and renewals of the contact be-
tween the spring and the screw.
The type Of vibrator now in general use,
succeeding an obsolete mechanical one, is
magnetic. In this the free end Of the
blade is close TO the core of the coil When
the timer makes contact and the current
passes through the primary winding. the
core is magnetized. and attracts the free
end OF the blade or spring which is made
of steel This draws the blade away from
the adjusting screw, breaking their con-
tact. The connection OF the vibrator with
the primary circuit is such that the cur
rent flows from the generator TO the ad-
justing screw, thence to the blade and
through the primary winding Then the
attraction of the blade by the core draws
the blade away from the screw. The
circuit Is thus broken and. the magnetism
