Clary threw himself into their arms
and wept while the shouts Of thousands
at the mouth Of the mine rang down
the shaft.

way and they dropped into the drift
at S:25 o'clock. Clary saw the light OF
day and looked upon fellow friends
after a period of darkness OF three
days and 45 minutes. At q signal from
the rescuers q physician was lowered.
He administered stimulants. Clary
was hoisted to the surface and set
foot on top OF earth ten minutes after
he was found. Curious spectators
were kept from him. His father,
brothers and the physician hurried him
away to the Clary home nearby where

urged Clary not to talk until he had

Battle Scared Heroine.-There Is
rather attractive young woman IN
Cleveland who had the misfortune to
fall down stairs a few months ago and
fracture one of her knees so badly
that the limb had to be amputated'
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
young woman, Of course, walks with
the aid of crutches. She Is not IN the
least sensitive about the matter, ana
she doesn't mind informing properly
introduced people of the accident which
manned her.
She has set limit. however, and
she was compelled to use 1t one AFTER
noon recently. She got into Payne
avenue car and found herself in the
same seat with a sharp-eyed woman
who seemed to take a whole lot OF in
terest in her and her crutches. She
scrutinized the young womans race
carefully for couple Of minutes, then
turned her attention to the workman
ship Of the crutches, which she even
took the liberty to handle curiously.
Then she looked the young woman
over again and leaned over to her:
Dye mind tellin' me how you lost
your leg?" she asked.
Not in the least" responded the
young woman, amiably. Il lost II IN

Don't Shoot.-Mr. Justice Harlan
was hot in the collar, and pardonably
so, when he predicted that some day a
Washington chauffeur would be shot by
some man from the west. The state
ment that such individuals as the fell
low who almost ran over Mr.. Justice
Harlan and Mr.. Justice White are pub
lie nuisances, and that men have died
of gunshot wounds, and worms nave
eaten them, for offenses less grave than
they commit every day, is not eXag-
geration. But try to refrain from
adopting the suggestion Of Mr.. Justice
Harlan, or fulfilling his prophecy.
When the ruffianly chauffeur offends
don't shoot! 1t would merely create a
false sentiment in behalf Of such Of
tenders. They do not deserve such
sympathy as the murder OF one OF their
kind would result in.
When the chauffeur offends try to
get his number and have him arrest
ed. If you can't, the probability is that
you can't hit him in six shots, and
there is always the innocent bystander.
The selfish person who INDUCES his
taste for gun play at the expense OF
the safety and comfort Of persons in
the street is not less criminally incon-
siderate than the joy-riding chauffeur.
Only an expert marksman could hit a
chauffeur on the wing if the car were
going too fast for the number to be
seen.
Let the law, and not the revolver,
play the umpire" but invoke the aid
of the law whenever you can. The
community will applaude and your con-
science will commend your Efforts

Ono Thing She Could Do.-one Sat-
urday afternoon recently a frail little
man started to cross Broadway at For
ty-second street just when all sorts OF
fast moving vehicles were whirling
their matinee patrons up Broadway
At the same instant very fieshy lady
started from the curb directly opposite
with the same purpose in mind.
BY remarkable luck both succeeded
in escaping the passing wheels, but as
fate would have it. the little man,
whose eyes were busy ogling the traf-
fic on either side of him. darted plump
into the oncoming woman at the mid
die of the street. The result was
sickening collision, with the little man
down and out.
You should have looked where you
were going" said the fleshy woman
bending over the victim on the curb,
to which he had been carried by a traf-
fic policeman. But is there anything
1 can do for you?"
YES" he replied family, opening his
eyes a moment, "get the number OF
the automobile that struck me."-Lip-

Money In Pecan cuIture.-The own

Money In Pecan Culture.-The own
er of an eighty acre pecan orchard in
south Georgia recently refused an Of
fer of s1,600 for an acre of it. This
orchard is twelve years old. 1t has
probably been bearing from five to six
years. 1t is estimated that pecan or
chards can be brought to bearing age
at a cost of $40 or less an acre.
In dozens of districts in the south
land for pecan orchards may be had at
from $19 to $25 an acre, as we'll located
and as productive as are to be found
anywhere. BY the selection of the
proper variety of nut and proper care
in handling the orchard there is no
question as to the fine profits which
can be made within few years. A
twelve-y -year-old orchard is just reach
ing it's full maturity. Indeed, its bear
ing value continues to increase year
by year, and it is good for a hundred
years or more. Under the best meth
DDS in vogue today it can be made pro-
ductive after five or six years.-Yazoo

AERoPLANE PRoPELLERS.
Principal Problem Is the Selection of
Proper Material.


Proper Material.
The first aerial screw was proposed
and used by Leonardo da Vinci, the
great artist, architect and man Of
learning Of Italy, who, like Giotti and
Michelangelo, was too big for any one
art t. contain. After the fashion
of most master minds, he went right
to the heart of the matter and point
ed out the ideal propeller for air navi-
CATION, but it was centuries after be-
fore the little men around him could
get away from the follies of oars, pad
die wheels, windmills, and such primi-
tive ideas as incumbered their minds,
and it was not till 1884 that series
of Frenchmen finally developed the
screw for balloon propulsion. Fifty
years thereafter 1t approached the true
helix under Dupuy de LONE in 1872.
Colonel Renard in 1888 published
the results Of his numerous expert
ments on the losses due to slip. ETC.,
and the causes thereof, and gradually
it became apparent that these should
not exceed 80 per cent Of the work
of the motor in any well designed
screw. The development of the various
types soon again evolved two classes
slow speed and large diameter and
high speed with small diameter. At
present both classes have their ardent
adherents, but in view of the con-
elusive results in favor of the slow
speeds and large diameter, obtained
by experiments with ordinary blast
fans during the last few years, there
is no doubt that the best results are
got by the slow speed and reasonable
diameter Of propellers.
The French never use two propell-
ers, as in some American makes,
principally because of the great
danger that ensues when one Of the
screws breaks or stops, if there are
two They all vary in size between
two and three meters and 600 to 1,2OG
revolutions per minute. Specifically
the Voisin is 23 meters, LOO revolu-
tlOnS per ii VI
meters, $50 revolutions; Bleriot XII,
81 meters, $50 revolutions; Farman,
2.5 meters, 500 revolutions.
The principal problem at present is
to get a strong, light material which
will not warp in the weather, will not
fly to pieces under the centrifugal
force nor bend out of shape and yet
be light and shapely. You can buy
propellers from the aeroplane deal
ers in Paris in solid wood, hickory
and ash, glued up of sections of fiat
pieces, in black walnut, oak ounce
hickory and holly, or you can get them
in solid cast aluminium finely finish
ed, prices varying from 500 to $3.50
each. I think that when Americans
get around to it we will stamp them
out of sheet steel and clinch lock the
edges.-Warren H. Miller in Engi-
neering Magazine.

square, he said:
