The marine locomotive staging is
kind of platform that walks about in
the water, and in English harbors it
has been employed for subaqueous
borings, rock removal, construction of
piers, setting caissons, recovering
sunken cargo, and a variety of other
operations in places too exposed for
barges. 1t was first used some years
ago at Peterhead, Scotland, for remov-
ing 10, 900 cubic feet of granite about
"a feet below high water. A recent
machine for Whitby harbor improve
ments consists essentially of two
structural steel frameworks, one with
in the other, so arranged as to move
Independently, and to support each
other in turn in moving. Four legs on
each frame can be raised independent
y of each other. In making step,
the legs of one frame-say the inner
are raised, the weight then resting on
rollers carried on the outer frame. and
this part is then pulled forward by
tackles attached to the outer frame.
The legs are then lowered, the others
are raised, and the outer frame is
pulled along on rollers resting on the
inner. In practice a third frame is
desirable, and in this particular ma
chine each step forward or backward
is 10 feet, and each side step feet.
Each leg is operated by an indepen-
dent motor. The machine has travelled
total of 5000 feet over a sand
bottom. moving at the rate of 80 feet
in 10 hours, and experienced men have
made step of 10 feet in Is minutes.
The apparatus, 81 feet high, has re-
sisted severe storms, with waves
breaking over the platform.
A smoke preventer made in Leeds,
Eng, is in the form Of hollow cone
OF special perforated trebrlck, and
is supported in the combustion
chamber in the direct track of the
gases from the CRATE. A pipe passing
through the ash-plt admits a supply of
air. The firebrick become redhot, the
heated air combining with the un-
burned carbon and hydrocarbons. and
ensuring their complete combustion.
A painful eye affection, opthalmia
nodosa. is attributed by German
oculist to invisible caterpillar hairs.
Lodging in the eye, these thorn
covered particles cause the lid to
swell, form knots under the conjunc-
tiva, and even destroy the pupil.
Brown-tail moth hairs cause rash over
the whole body.

Feel Different Now?

A foolish objection was raised by a
few ultra democrats because the
school children attended the Johnson
republican ralley. 1t was thought at
that time that Bell would have a
night meeting in Jackson, so that the
school question would not intrude.
Last Monday, however, the school was
suspended for the Bell meeting and
the children were marched down in
charge of their respective teachers to
the gathering, $50 strong. They
formed nearly one half of the crowd.
We have no objection to school re-
cess at a time of such interest, when
it would be next to impossible to
study. A kick against its own party
is now in order from our cotem-
porary.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. Nov. 23.-Frequently in
uuiries come to different people in this
city asking what can be said in favor of
saloonlesS city.
This city enjoys the distinction of
being the largest of this kind in the
state and the boosters are expecting a
population report of not less than 49,
900. No one denies that there is a
whole lot of drinking done here, the
larger part Of the liquor drunk coming
from Minnesota. There is some boot
logging but not any great amount sold
by the druggists. There is not sa-
loon, neither does the city derive one
cent Of revenue from the sale of liquor.
Nevertheless it is getting along. pay
ing all its debts. contracting for big i'm
proyements, has no trouble in placing
its bands, and is all right along these
lines.
The city owns its water system. with
seven flowing wells. we'll equipped
pumping station. twenty-five miles Of
water pipe, with as many miles of the
automat tic flushing sewer. has seven
miles Of paving, two miles of it put
in this year and two miles already con-
tracted for next.
But this is oni: 2 part of if and it
is only the Yankee way Of doing things
to ask if there is a city in Iowa or any
other state of 10000 which has the
saloon system, that can duplicate the
following:
In ten years there has been invested
in this city in manufacturing industries
ss.s75.o0o. There are employed in fac
tories and workshops 3,S3S people, only
a very small part being females. The
total monthly salaries aggregate s2o6,-
O25, or an average monthly salary of
better than SO. There has hardly been
a business failure in the city in these
ten years Rentals of business houses
o2x11o. two stories. average $500, three
stories $3.50, monthly, the same prop
critics being valued at from $4,000 to
$4,000. Beside this the city has ten
lines of railway. ships two train loads
of manufactured products daily. mas
$4,000, 900 deposits in the banks, has
fourteen churches with $500 commun-
icants and seven as fine school build
ings as can be found in any city, all
filled with children and presided over
by teachers drawing good salaries.
From solely a business point OF view,
leaving out all thoughts of the moral
Or religious phases of the question,
four-fifths of the business men openly
and vehemently, if necessary, oppose
the saloon as a business factor or
business getter.

CHARMING HAIR
Every Woman Can Have II BY Using
Partisan Sage Guaranteed by 3. A.
Moeasa.

There is a reason for the phenomenal
sale Of Partisan Sage in the United
States since 1t was first introduced into
America, and the sales this year are
breaking all records.
And the reason is plain to all: Pari-
sian Sage does just what it is adver-
tised to do.
Ask b. A. Morgan about it. he will
tell you that he rigidly guarantees 1t
to cure dandruff, stop falling hair or
itching scalp in two weeks. or money
back.
There is no reason whatever why any
man or woman should fail to take ad-
vantage Of the above generous offer
But one thing that has made Partisan
Sage so famous is its peculiar power to
turn the harsh, unattractive hair that
many women possess into luxuriant
and radiant hair in a short time. Wo-
men of refinement the country over are
using 1t and it never disappoints.
