REV. E. J. CRAFT SAYS MOTOR IS
 EVOLUTIONARY
Snyder Machine to Utilize Ocean Undertow Devel- ops Between Two and Three Horse Power on Brake Test.


 Rev. E. J. Craft, rector of Christ ance, of the new water motor invent ed by Parke T. Snyder. which has been described in the Farmer, pro- nounced the invention really a won derful thing. He said: 'sIn my judg- nnent it will revolutionize nanufac- turing and furnish cheap power for electricity or any other use for which power is needed
 A pull of 1855 pounds was produced on the scale with a machine feet across and 30 inches deep.
 The test which Rev. MT. Craft ob- served was made in Ash Creek at the end of a four foot lever.
 When the machine was just cover ed it gave 30 pounds on the scale. When the water was a foot deep over the motor the scale showed 80 pounds. When it was two feet over the motor the scale showed 135 pounds.
 The test was the ordinary brake test. The scale was at the end of a four foot lever and the wheel made 40 revolutions a, minute
 The formula, for finding horse pow CT calls for the product of the revo- lutions of the wheel, by the length shown on the scale, by 63z. This product is divided by 33,000. By this rule the wheel developed between two and three horse power, which is regarded as a remarkable showing MT. Snyder believes that he has sus- tained his contention that the power of his motor increases as the weight of water above it grows greater, som mething that has been disputed by some authorities.

Pooling Her 4usband.

That there are more ways than on of killing a cat" is a well known fact but the newest of ways has beer evolved from the fertile brain of Germantown woman who is blessed with stingy husband. This husband is generous enough in one sense Of thi word. His wife may have the bes attire the stores afford charged to hii account, but she may handle no money Women, in this mans opinion, know nothing of the value of a dollar. Or leaving for his office in the morning he kisses her goodby and thrusts< { quarters worth of trolley tickets into her hand.
 Now miIady goes shopping, buys $ few necessities and a fifty dollar wraI for which she has no use whatever Next day she returns the latter, re ceives a credit slip for $50 and betake. herself to the handEerchief counter where she spends 50 cents, receiving S49.5O change. Placing some small change in her purse and slowing the roll of greenbacks in what she con siders safer receptacle. she leaves the shop feeling that she has made the best of a bad bargain.-Philadel phia Record.

A Handy snuffbox.

A curious story is told as to how the RothschiIds supported Carafa, the composer. The latter was far from rich. His principal income was de rived from snufbox. And this was the way of it: The snuffbox was given to the author of "La' Prison d'Edim. bourgh" by Baron James de RothschilG as token of esteem. Carafa sold il twenty-four hours later for 75 na. poleons to the same jeweler from whom it had been bought. This, be came known to .Rothschild. who gave it again to the musician on the follow. ing year. The next day it returned tc the jewellers. The traffic continued till the death of the banker and longer still, for his sons kept up the tradi. t1on, to the great satisfaction o1 Carafa.

The stalwart conference
which was held in Milwaukee
last week gave ample evi-
dence of the fact that unless
the progressives are united on
primary election day, they
will lose all they fought for
and gained in the last decade.
The eyes of the nation are
upon Wisconsin, the pioneer
of representative govern
ment. Men who for years
have waged the peoples fight
must be supported. It is not
SO much a question of elect
ing these particular men, but
the principles they stand for
must prevail. If Wisconsin
rejects such men like LaFoll-
cite and McGovern, the news
will flash across the country
that this state was not sincere
when it threw off the yoke of
corporate control. Can the
men who work for wages or
the moderately well-to-do cit
liens afford to take a chance
with men who boldly assert
that the present tariff is not
high enough and whose sym
pathies are against the peo-
pie?
No millionaire can be ex-
pected to sympathize with his
less fortunate neighbors.
His inclinations and interests
are diametrically opposed and
no good will result in putting
him in a position to work
against the common welfare.
Let progressives unite and
the result will be in doubt.
