While At WORK
FLARE-BACK OF OIL FROM FUR.
MACE SCORCHES FACE AND
ARMS-NOT SERIOUS.

George Johns, a fireman at the
Montana mine, was quite severely
burned last night by bareback
of oil. Mr.. Johns had just started
ON the graveyard shift, and in
some unaccountable manner while
around the furnace, received the
injuries. His right arm was badly
burned and his face scorched. While
not serious, his injuries are pain
full and have confined him to his
bed. Mr.. Johns is a married man
and has two children, and at pres
ent is residing in the parsonage
of the Episcopal church.

ton nowadays and find the lumber
trust. The duties on lumber and wood
which we remit under the agreement
with Canada amounted last year to
1898, $50. A combination In re-
straint of trade, a monopolizer Of mar
kets, a blacklister, an extortioner and
a conspirator, as this trust Is de-
scribed in the arraignment just filed
by Attorney General Wickersham, is
not going to surrender the advantage
which it derives from this unneces-
sary tax except under ~compulsion. 1t
is this forestaller and engrosser which
speaks through most of the farmers"
who have been heard at Washington.

merly to be done by hand-and a fourth in
vention is a mechanism which neatly arranges
in coils the postage stamps which are to be
placed on sale in vending or stamp-selling ma
chimes which it is planned to introduce in this
country following the example of Germany and
other foreign countries.
Much has been printed from time to time re.
gardtng the machines that almost think" in
vented by the mechanical experts of the United
States census bureau to aid Uncle Sam in the
big task Of counting noses. However, there is
one invention, newer than any of the others re-
garding which little has been said. This is the
ma card-sorting machine, the function of
which is to sort mechanically the ninety odd
million cards representing the people of the
United States-for, under our present system of
card-indexing the country the census office has
on file a bit of pasteboard to represent every
man, woman and child In the republic. The
new sorter sorts cards at a speed Of from 300 to
325 per minute, sorting the cards into thirteen
different drawers. The machine is operated by
electricity and the sorting is done through the
medium of sensitive needles which seek out the
holes which have previously been punched in
each card to record biographical facts and dis
tribute the cards according to the location of
these holes.
Uncle Sans greatest business institution, the
~postofice department, has lately fostered its
share of new inventions aside from the stamp
vending machines with which it has long been
experimenting. The late novelties include an
electric canceling machine for canoeing the
stamps on letters and postmarking the envel-
opes; a trolley system for handling mail in city
postofices and a belt conveyor system for the
same purpose. Two clerks in the p~ostofice de-
partment lately invented a machine that cuts
down work 20 per cent. in the money order
branch of our postal headquarters, through its
faculty in automatically printing the money or
der fees as the amounts Of the paid money or,
ders are recorded for auditing purposes. And
finally, the department Is on the eve of per
fecting a remarkable new machine for the use
Of every postmaster throughout the country who
conducts a branch OF the new postal savings
bank. This aforementioned invention is sugges-
tive in appearance Of the familiar cash register
and its function is to mechanically fill out the
deposit slips Of the lately-established poor
mans bank a work that had formerly to be
done by hand. Plot only will this new mechan-
ical toiler save time and labor, but 1t will make
dishonesty virtually impossible on the part OF
any employee handling postal bank deposits

visible hand and almost more quickly than
the eye can follow the operation, these nails
are one and all drawn to the highly magnetized
surface.
This new magnet, a worlds record breaker
in size as well as in power, was constructed
specially for the United States government by
a firm of instrument makers in Switzerland.
The circumstances connected with the design
ing of the magaet illustrate how great minds
may run in the same direction. Mr.. Frederick
Bates, the United States government expert
who is at the head of the division Of polarimet-
ry at the bureau of standards and working in
conjunction with other government scientists,
just worked out the detailed plans for such a
magnet when he discovered that the foreign
instrument makers who ultimately built this
one for our government had been covering the
same ground at the same time, each inventor
unconscious of the activities of his rival on the
opposite side of the Atlantic.
Perhaps the most unusual attribute Of this
magnet is that it is made available for con-
tinuous use, this being accomplished by re-
placing ordinary insulated wires such as are
commonly used with copper tape. This con-
per tape is surrounded by insulating oil.
Through this oil there are run coils of copper
tubing about one-half inch in diameter and
through this tubing cold water is circulated to
carry off the enormous heat which is devel
oped. In the same room with the new magnet
Is a yet newer invention-the product Of gov.
eminent scientists-which promises great
things. 1t is known as a vacuum gauge and it
will enable more minute and more accurate
measurement than has heretofore been posi-
BILE in the case of a vacuum.
One of the most notable of Uncle Sans
scientific triumphs Of the present year is the
new system of multiplex telephony mentioned
above and which by Its disclosure Of a method
of transmitting a number Of telephone mes
sages simultaneously over the same wire is ex-
pected to greatly reduce the cost of long dis.
lance telephone conversation. In connection
with the development Of this new form of tel
ephony which will make one wire do the work
of ten, Major Squier and his associates have
carried on some experiments which. though
originally Intended only as a means to an end.
now promise to have a distinct value of their
own in disclosing the possibilities Of transmit
ting music by telephone.

PEOPLE TO LEARN THE FACTS
Truth About the Steel Trust, Gigantic
Confidence Came" Is Being Re-
veaied by investigation.

When Mr.. Stanley introduced his
resolution in the house of representa-
lives, calling for an investigation of
the steel trust, there was no posi-
oility of favorable consideration dur
ing that session of congress-the
house was Republican.
When it became apparent that Dem
ocrats would dominate the house in
The present session, arguments loud
and long were made against the adop-
ton OF the resolution. 1t was held by
opponents OF the Stanley measure that
1t would be unjust, unfair and posi-
lively unnecessary to have an investi-
cation when the steel trust affairs
we're pending in the courts.
But Mr.. Stanley pushed the matter.
The resolution was adopted by the
Democratic house. The investigation
has begun.
1t is intimated in some quarters that
John w. Gates, in his testimony be-
fore the committee, has not told all
he knows" about some of the deals
notably that in connection with the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company.
However, Mr.. Gates has given the pub
lie some very interesting reading.
Developments SO far justify the ac-
ton OF Mr.. Stanley in refusing to lay
aside or delay action in the matter.
The people will be afforded opportu-
nifty to know the inside workings Of
one of the most gigantic confidence
games ever worked upon the nation.

Democratic Theories conflrn,ea

Democratic contentious of 1910 are
very handsomely confirmed by
the events of the present spring and
summer. It was argued that, in spite
of the superficial danger Of deadlock
involved in a situation where the
house of representatives was held by
n party and the presidency by an
other, the sequel would show that leg
isl&tion of real merit, the reciprocity
treaty, for example, would experience
no difficulty in receiving cheerful sup
port from both the executive and the
house.
Subsequent history has confirmed
the soundness of this Democratic
view. The president and the house,
under its wise and able leadership.
have worked together like a happy
family, and the more than friendly
relations between the White House
and Speaker Clark have presented the
country a most gratifying exhibit in
statesmaniike amity and patriotic CO.
operation to the common good.

STEEL TRUST PROFITS
BUSINESS BUILT UP BY UNFAIR
TAX ON CONSUMERS.
Congressional Committee Has Brought
Forth Facts That Should Cause
Voters to Do More Than a
Little Thinking.

The congressional committee that
started an investigation of the United
States Steel corporation uncovered
sensations" which have been matters
of public knowledge for ten years.
The fact that Carnegie received for
his Pittsburg plants $16O, 100000 more
than he was willing to take a few
months before the trust was organized
received widespread publication at
the time.
AS the investigation proceeds the
committee doubtless will discover
also that other properties were turned
into the trust for millions upon mil
lions more than they were worth. Ref
e to the plan of the organization
of the United States Steel corpora
ton will show that about $3.50, 900, 900
in United States Steel stock was CIV
en- in exchange for about $400, 100000
of capital of six large corporations
which had been organized a few years
previously, every one of which had
been created with a capitalization very
much in excess of the actual value OF
its properties.
1t was well known then that the
500 millions of United States Steel
corporation common stock and a con-
siderable portion of the 500 millions OF
preferred stock represented no tan
gible value in property.
vIyi4l kL1ao % atr ryn11 EnnUn the
freedom of the United States Steel
corporation from congressional inves-
tigation and legal prosecution during
1 the past ten years is a mystery. An
explanation for 1t is the policy of n
dor and publicity adopted by b. Il.
Gary. the chairman of the executive
committee of the concern, early in its
career, and the efforts that have been
made to build up the properties OF the
corporation so that they would Q
nearly approximate the capitalization.
Several hundred millions of earnings
have been put into the new properties
and an enormous increase in the value
of the corporations coal lands and
iron mines has occurred, SO that the
actual value of the corporations prop
critics is much closer to its capitaliza-
ton today than ten years ago.
But the fact cannot be overlooked
that this result has been possible only
because the steel business has yield
ed excessive profits. The material
capitalization of the trust has necessi-
tated an unfair tax on consumers OF
iron and steel, to pay dividends and
interest and to build up the value of
the properties,
