THE BEST REAL PULL"

Now that the summer is nearly over
hundreds Of young men who were
graduated last June from colleges and
high schools are entering the voca-
tions which they intend shall be their
1ife's work. Some are still seeking suit
able openings. The young man with
out a pull" may believe himself bandi
capped He is likely to see instances
where the employer gives first col
s~ideration to his son. his nephew or
the son of a friend. But that is nc
more than right. The average busi
ness man recognizes the obligations Of
relationship and friendship, up to The
point where they do not impair his
material interests and those of his as
sociates. His nephew and his friends
son must make good-his own O
most of all. His tendency. in fact, is
to be more strict with his son than
he is with any of his other employees,
says the Cleveland Leader. If a young
man thus favored with the first oppor.
tunity shows tina he will be a failure
in the work he is doing. he is re,
moved. Family ties and friendship
usually Will not hold him. Then comes
the chance of the young man who may
have felt discouraged because he had
no pull" The best pull any young
man can have in starting in life is
honesty, industry and the determine
ton to work for his employer as
though he were working for himself
He should realize that. in fact. he is
working for himself and that he has a
financial interest in the business, to
the extent of his pay. Such a young
man Is bound to succeed.

Handy Fire Apparatus.

a New York nan This apparatus con-
sists CT a tank, inside of which is q
device for centering the buckets as
they are lowered into ii, so that each
bucket fits into the one below 1t. and
they are thus "nested," a series of
them occupying little nor space than
one would take up. The tank is filled,
with water or with some specially pre-
pared fire-fighting fluid, and holds
enough to insure each bucket being
filled as it is drawn out. There Is no
time lost in Selling a bucket and rum
ming to another place to fill IL, and
every one knows that speed is an es-
sential feature in fighting flames. The
apparatus not only does away with
an unsightly row of buckets. but ex-
pedites the work OF combating the
blaze to an important degree.

TRYING TO TAKE GLORY AWAf
FROM PEARY.
MAKE 1T HARD ON EXPLORER
His Leave of Absence Has Expired and
He Has Not Reported for Duty-Oid
History Unearthed-Other News ct
the Day.

Washington. d. C.-Although his
leave of absence has expired, Captain
Robert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer.
did not report for duty as 2 civil en-
gineer in the navy. Acting Secretary
of the Navy Winthrop said it had not
yet been decided to what work Captain
Peary- would be assigned
Captain Peary has been on leave of
absence for the last ten years under a
tacit understanding that he vas to de
vote his time to Arctic exploration. His
latest leave was granted last April and
as he has not applied for further eX-
tension it is assumed at the navy de-
partment that he is ready to return to
active duty. He was recently promot-
ed to the rank of captain by virtue of
the retirement of a senior officer in
the corps.
Department officials have unearthed
an old history in which the claim is
made that the north pole was discov-
cred in 1860 by a friar of Oxford. 1t Is
called "A New Naval History or Com
plete View of the British Marine" and
was published by John Entick in Lon
don, 1857. On n of its musty pages
the following paragraph appears:
In the year 1860 it is recorded thai

to the most northern island of The
world and there leaving his company
together, he Travelled alone and made
draughts of all those northern parts
with the indrawing seas, which at his
return he presented to the king of Eng
land. 1t is added that he went to the
north pole by mean of his skill in
magic or black art, but this magic or
black art may probably have been
nothing more than a knowledge of the
magnetical needle or compass, found
out about sixty a before, though

Glass Plating Of HulIs.

Glass plating is the novel method by
which two English inventors hope to
prevent the fouling of ships hulls, even
in tropical waters. The glass, in &C.
tons about six inches square, is ap-
piled direct to the bare metal with a
special cement of wood pulp, resin and
linseed oil. and a layer of this an
eighth of an inch thick not only holds
the glass very firmly. but compensates
for the difference of the expansion be-
tween the metal and the glass. Paint
ing is unnecessary. The glass is claim
er to make it impossible for any
growths to secure a hold. and to re-
main firmly adherent even when crack
ed with a hammer.

Planting Rubber Plants.

The wide reaches of waste lands on
the island of Singapore, which have
been of nc use since the culture of
gambler, coffee and pepper was given
up, are now the scenes of great activ-
ity. Rubber plants are being set out
over these wastes and seem to do
well. In the suburbs of Singapore city
a considerable area of swamp land has
been drained and converted into a nur-
sery for Para rubber plants, which are
sold at a good profit to the planters.
The eastern rubber boom has caused
