Lake Transportation Very Popular
oil Great Lakes.

Service on lakes Right Up To Date.
Travel on the Great Lakes Is be
coming more popular every year. AT
no period In the worlds history has
travel by water been so INDUCED In,
both In a business and pleasure way,
to such an extent as at the present
time. During the past season, over
sixteen million people were carried on
the various steamers OF the Great
Lakes, over two-thirds OF which were
handled in and out or Detroit, which
surely speaks we'll for the advantages
offered those living In this locality.
The principal feature which makes
lake transportation so attractive, Is
the excellent steamers which ply
their busy trades on our inland seas;
especially is thus true OF the Detroit
& Cleveland Navigation Co.'s steam
ers which have kept pace with the
times and all the improvements
known TO marine art and science, can
be found on the steamers OF their
fleet.
During the heated term one needs
but to go to the ID. & c. wharf to see
how popular the line is. Daily al
500 p. m. steamer leaves Detroit for
Buffalo: the ride down the river,
through the Lime Kiln crossing, and
across Lake Erie 10 Buffalo between
twilight and dawn, defies description;
daily service is likewise operated be
tween Detroit and Cleveland. The
objective point is Mackinac Island,
the famous historic summer resort OF
the north country; the ever-changing
scenery along the shore line, and the
picturesque beauty of the numerous
islands increases interest in every
mile of the journey and makes II one
of the most pleasant and economical
vaction trips in America. Six trips
weekly are operated from Detroit TO
Mackinac Island.
The thousands who annually travel
on the Great Lakes seeking recrea-
ton and rest, are living examples OF
the widespread popularity of lake
transportation.

While the principle is substantially
the same in all magnetos, there IL an
endless variety in styles and models
One OF the larger concerns manuiaG-
lures and carries in stock more than
$50 magnetic models. In the lare' r
cities, like New York and Chicago.
garages are maintained exclusively
for the proper installation OF these
magnetos, the work being In charge
OF the most skilled mechanics, Sho
can tell at a glance just what style
OF magnetic is best suited TO the car
in question.
The magnetic has been an important
factor in the development OF the auto
on the quality of the ignition. The
dual system OF ignition has been up
piled TO the magnetic with excellent
results in recent years. With this ar
rangement IL is possible 10 produce
ignition either by the magnetic or b.

same set OF plugs.

been shipped in from outside and dis
tributed through the local jobbers.
II will not be long, however, before
Detroit will have machine tool
plant OF it's own, and one of the finest
In the country Several months ago,
through the efforts of the Detroit
Board of Commerce, large eastern
concern became interested in Detroit
as a manufacturing center and, after
looking over the ground thoroughly,
has decided to locate here. The COM
pany is now negotiating for site and
expects to start moving not later than
June /. BY next fall, and perhaps
earlier, the new plant will be in full
operation.
Before the advent OF the motor car,
machine tools were found principally
in the general machine shops. The
rapid development of the automobile
naturally created a new market and
the manufacturers soon found 1t
necessary to increase their facilities
In order to keep pace with the de-
mand. When 1t is considered that In
Detroit alone, there are more than
35 car makers and about 70 parts
concerns, nearly all OF which have
sprung into existence within the past
decade, and that every one OF these
concerns il a user of machine tools.
IL can be readily seen that the
machine tool men have been doing
some business
A tour of Detroit's automobile fac
tories will reveal some of the largest
and bestequipped machine shops In
the country, or in the world, for that
matter, for Detroit leads the world In
auto production These constitute the
very heart OF the industry, for here
the various parts are fashioned, and
an automobile Is no better than its
weakest part. Hence the necessity Tor
absolute precision and perfectly
clean work, which can be obtained
only by the use of machine TOOLS
Then, too, 1t would be impossible to
turn out automobiles by hand, even
If II were practicable, and keep pace
with the popular demand. Without
machine tools. therefore, the develop
ment of the automobile to its present
proportions would have been a physi'
cal impossibility.
AS one result of this remarkable
expansion in Detroit there has been
attracted to this city vast army OF
skilled mechanics. In fact, II Is claim
ed that Detroit numbers among her
working hosts a higher grade OF
mechanics than Is found in any other
city in the country, and this has been
brought about largely through the In
creased use OF machine tools.

Colored Regiment for New York

New York will get a colored
regiment just as Illinois has if the
present program carries. The leg
islature has passed a bill enabling
colored men to take steps in the
matter of organization. They are
in earnest in the matter and Hi
nois is likely to have formidable
rival for the plaudits of the coun-
try.
The Eighth Illinois is the only
regiment of the kind, consequent
ly it has become somewhat of a
pet to the entire colored race.
And the boys of the Eighth are
not soldiers on paper merely.
Wherever they have been they
have won favorable mention from
the military experts for precision
in their drills, evolutions, marches
or what-not, that fall to the sol
dier's lot
Doubtless the New Workers
have smarted quite time in that
the State Of Illinois boosted of
this superior organization which
could not be duplicated" in the
great state Of New York. To hail
from New York does carry a
sort of spell-casting influence; it
sounds big; and no one knows it
better than the New Workers.
The colored New Workers. are
not one whit behind their white
brethren in the matter of pompos-
ity." So it was quite the natural
thing to chafe when the praises
which mean Chicago were sang so
often, so persistently, so loud
little old New York City got busy
and after months of working with
the legislature, those interested
finally won. A regiment Of Negro
New Workers promises to be a
thing of the near future.-The

A well-known encyclopedia authori-

Marion Sims deserves a place as an
inventive genius among the great
surgeons Of the world" 1t was Sims
who, about the middle Of the last CEN
fury, substituted silver wire for silk
and other sutures, first making this
daring experiment in peculiar and
hitherto incurable disease, and then
extending the use of metallic sutures
to general surgery.
For some time he had been making
a study of the hitherto incurable NAL
ady. He knew that the common silk
suture would be eaten away by acids
before the wound made by an opera
ton could heal; it was this fact that
made the disease incurable. He was
puzzling over this apparently insur-
mountable obstacle one day when he

How a StroIIing Bump-Reader Exam
ined the Great Pulpit Orators
Head and Told the Truth
His Abilities.

While Henry Ward Beecher was all
his life in most vigorous health, both
mental and physical, never suffering
serious illness until the mortal attack,
he was nevertheless a yearly victim
Of hay fever. He found his only re-
lief from hay fever in a so1ourn in
the White Mountains, and he was &C
customed to leave his farm, near
Peekskill, N. Y, in mid-July and to re-
main in New Hampshire until the
frost He was utterly democratic In
his manner and unconventional in his
dress, so that anyone who did not
know him would be likely to judge
that he was a farmer who had saved
q little money and was spending a
portion of 1t in a summer vacation at
a White mountain hotel. Many farm
ers at that time were accustomed to
do this.
One summer morning in the late
seventies Beecher sat upon the piazza
of his hotel, reeading a newspaper.
Upon his head was his black felt hat,
the brim of which was so broad that
it tapped in the breeze He wore an
old-fashioned rundown collar, with
sort of black string for necktie. His
trousers were baggy, as usual. few
of his friends sat near him, chatting,
when suddenly there appeared around
the corner of the piazza a quaint and
curious specimen of humanity. he
was large-eyed, lOng-haired man,
with the beard of a prophet. In one
hand he carried a satchel and in the
other what appeared to be chart or
a map rolled up.
I'm a phrenologist," he said by
way of introduction to the little group
that sat opposite Beecher. Il can
tell by feeling what kind OF brain a
man has"
You feel the bumps" Intercepted
one of the party.
people who don't know call them
bumps, yet they are no bumps, but, In
fact, projections of the skull caused
by the development of the BRAIN" re-
torted the phrenologist. Il never
make any mistakes" he added. i
should be pleased to examine your
head, and charge only dollar"
Well" spoke up one of the party,
assuming a cautious manner and al
most whispering, OIL give you dol
lar if you'll examine the bumps on
that old farmers head"-motioning
toward Beecher-"and If we find that
you hit it pretty nearly straight, why,
then, some of us may have our heads
examined"
The phrenologist approached Mr..
| Beecher The gentlemen want me to
examine your head" he explained. Il
am a phrenologist. l can tell you
more than you know about yourself"
Beecher at once suspecting that his
friends we're intent upon playing a
Joke, solemnly took off his hat. The
phrenologist began to tumble through
