CUTTING IRON BY AcETYLENE
Intense Heat Has Recently Been Used
In Marvellous Tool, Results Seem
Ing Like Magic.

Most Of our young folks have seen
pictures projected on a screen by an
oxyhydrogen "limelight" stereopticon
In this double magic lantern"
bright light is produced by the In.
tense heat of burning oxygen and ny.
drogen together against small cylin-
der of lime. The heat makes the lime
shine very brightly. on the same
principle that a piece of iron glows
when the blacksmith takes it from
his forge. Though this familiar form
of burning gases is very hot, it is far
eXcelled in heat by burning acety.
lene Ca gas) in oxygen.
This intense heat has recently been
used in a marvellous tool, the results
of which seem almost If not quite
like magic. The Davis-Bournonville
company has perfected a torch that
burns oxygen and acetylene together
and makes it convenient to apply this
intense heat to cutting off or welding
IRON
Running this penlike flame across a
thick sheet of iron melts very mar
row strip and cuts it off about as you
might cut sheet of ice with red
hot poker. 1t will also melt the edges
of two sheets or blocks Of iron and
enable mechanic to fasten them to-
gether easily. Huge iron castings
that have been broken may be re-
paired by running the fame around
the edges of the fracture and stick
ing" them together From the me
chanical point of view the possible
uses of this new tool are very many
The intensely hot flame melts a mar
row open space through a piece ol
iron, even up to half an inch thick
almost as easily as would a red-ho,
wire melt through a very thin sheet

PRESIDENTS PEN A POWER
BY Signing His Name of Only Six
Letters Mr.. Taft Readjusts 5000
Postmasterships.

A pen in the hands of the president
of the United States is a power for
comfort to thousands of people at
times. President Taft signed his
name to presidential order the other
day, just six letters in all, and 5000
postmasters were taken spang out of
the political field, and the incum-
bents of these 5000 postoffices can
rest assured that so long as they do
nothing 'unbecoming an officer and
gentlemen" they are secure in their
places with their salary attachments
Not so very long ago the president
signed those same six letters to an
other special order, and 1t took 1,200
consuls out of politics. A United
States consul ranks with a lieutenant
or major-general in the army, accord
ing as to whether he is consul or
consul general, and if he is just a
plain consul he gets $4,000, and if he
is consul general he gets $4,000,
and his promotion from consul de-
pends entirely upon the efficiency
with which he discharges his duties.
Consular appointments are now al
loted to the various states in proper
tion to their representation in con-
gress. Some say that the taking Of
these officers out of politics is an ex-
cellent thing to do, and there are
many others who considered it very
bad move, indeed. There is an old
saying of government clerks that few
die and none resign, and that it is
this policy of mailing a man down in
his official position to grow old in
the service that is making a govern
ment clerk retirement act necessity.

"cANDLE TREE" OF PANAMA
Undoubtedly One Of Wonders Of Veg.
etabIe Kingdom Known as Par
mentiera Cerifera.

One of the wonders of the vegetable
kingdom is undoubtedly the Candle
tree" of Panama, known to botanists
as Parmentiera cerifera- This tree,
says Prof H. F. Macmillan in the
Strand Magazine, produces from its
stem and older branches a great pro-
fusion of yellowish, cylindrical. smooth
fruits, IL to Is inches long, which ap-
pear exactly like wax candles, as the
botanical name implies. So close Is
this resemblance that travellers, seeing
the tree for the first time, are liable
to be temporarily puzzled as to wheth-
er the candles of shops are made in
factories or grown on trees. The can
dle-like fruits are suspended from the
branches and bare stems by short,
slender stalks; dangling in the air.
they readily give the impression Of the
chambers shop AS night falls, and
the numerous flre-fiies move among
the fruit, the impression is intensified.

Ownership of a Letter.

Under the postal regulations and the
rulings of the highest courts Of the
United States letter does not belong
to the person to whom 1t is sent until
it is delivered to him. The writer has
a right to reclaim and regain posses
sion of it, provided he can prove to the
satisfaction of the postmaster at the
Office from which it was sent that he
was the writer of it. Even after the
is its destination, and before it has
been delivered to the person to whom
1t is addressed, it may be recalled by
the writer through telegraph through
the mailing Office.
The regulations of the post Office de-
partment, of course, require that the
utmost care shall be taken by the post
master at the Office of mailing to as
certain that the person who desires to
withdraw the letter is really the one
who is entitled to do so, and the post
master is responsible for his error If
he delivers the letter to an impostor
or an unauthorized person.
The vital principle in our political
system lies at the bottom of this mat
ter. In this country the state is the
servant or agent of the citizen-not
his master. 1t remains merely his
agent throughout the transmission of
the letter. The state may prescribe
regulations under which its own ser.
wants may carry a message for the
citizen, but it cannot shirk It's respon.
sibility to him.

NEWSPAPERS TAKING IT UP
Metropolitan DalIIes Giving Advice
How to Check Rheumatism and
Kidney Trouble.

This is a simple home recipe now
being made known in all the larger
cities through the newspapers. It 10
intended to check the many cases Of
Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble
which have made SO many cripples,
invalids and weaklings of some Of our
brightest and strongest people
The druggists everywhere, even in
the smallest communities, have been
notified to supply themselves with the
ingredients, and the sufferer will have
no trouble to obtain them. The pre-
scription Is as follows: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce: Compound
Kargon, one ounce, and Compound
Syrup Of Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The
dose is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments In f,osuital
cases prove this simple mixture eff
fective in rheumatism. Because of
its positive action upon the elimina-
tive tissues Of the kidneys, IT compels
these most vital organs to filter from
the blood and system the waste Inn
purites and uric acid which are the
cause OF rheumatism. 1t cleanses the
kidneys. strengthens them and re-
