Guilty was encountered in clearing the cut of
liquid metal and in preventing the spread of
the melting effect beyond the borders of the
cut. In later processes two blowpipes were
used The first has an ordinary oxyhydro-
gen fame, which heats the iron to redness at
the place where the cut is to be made. This
is followed Immediately by the second jet,
composed of pure oxygen, which instantly
burns the metal without melting. The
liquidized iron is blown swiftly from the ifs

the heat to surrounding parts.

THE SERVIAN DRUM

THE men who play the big drums in the
Servian army must have an easier lot
than the drummers of other lands: for they
do not have to carry their own drums.
In nearly all cases, instead of being slung
in front of the man who plays it, the instru-
ment is put on a small two-wheel cart drawn
by a large dog. OF course the drummer
must play as he marches; but the dog is so
well trained that there is no difficulty in
doing this
The animal keeps its place even through
the longest marches, and the drummer walks
behind the cart, performing on his instru-
ment as he goes along. Each regiment is
provided with two or three big drums; but
few regiments have band.

A NARROW ESCAPE

George AIDE. ito remain at the club for
a game of cards; but he insisted that he
must call upon a lady friend. finally said:
"Don't you know it is dangerous for a
man to call upon lady after he has been

he took off his hat and topcoat. Many a

with Connolly; but he passed it off just as
if he had never heard it. The next one was
also strike, according to Connolly. Bush
rather thought it was trifle high. He said
nothing; but again looked toward Mcintyre
in an appealing sort of way. This time Nc
Intyre took an entirely different way of ex
pressing his disapproval of Connoly's Judg-'
ment. All baseball fans know that the
height limit for strike is the shoulder.
Knowing this, they will appreciate Mc1n-
tyres speech, also the attitude taken by
Connolly.
"What's the matter with you, DOME?
That was perfect strike, right across your
eyes. When you can't hit them there. you
haven't chance"
"To the benchl" Numbered Connolly.
The umpire's honor had been avenged.
A LITTLE incident that cites how the
\ fans always side in with the player
took place in Detroit last year. Cleveland
was playing there. The Tigers had the
bases filled, and Tom Jones was at bat, in
the sixth inning. One man had been put
out, and of course double play was thing
to be prevented by Detroit. Jones hit the
ball to Laioie, and he tossed it to Turner,
who was co Icring second, forcing Moriarty,
and making what seemed a sure double play.
Jack Egan, who was umpiring the bases,
turned quickly to get the play at first. A
play was not made there, however, as Tur-
ner's throw went into the bleachers, and all
the Tigers raced across the plate The UNI
pire allowed the double play, calling the
man out for AIoriarty's interference.
AS such decision kept the Tigers from
scoring three runs, foxy Hughey Jennings
raised a big clamor, and the Detroit fans in
a forceful manner insisted that Hughey was
right.
"That ball hit Moriarty in the head said
Jennings
ooh guess not said Egan. at hit
him in the wrist, and he put his wrist in the
road.
"Then his brains are in his wrist said
Hughey.
Later in the game Egan noticed that
Moriartys wrist was badly bruised. As he
left the field he remarked to Jennings, 81
guess you're right, Hughey: Moriarty's
brains seem to be in his wrist
"Oh, that's all right, said Hughey with
a grin; "but it would have been pretty
good one had slipped it over
Baseball fans relish arguments and, be-
lieve me, the game will lose much of its popu
larity if the umpires ever get 50 perfect that
the contests move along like funeral.

Commenting upon a recent editorial
in the Industrial Record, entitled
"The Practical Features of Road
Building" the Press-Journal of Rusk,
Texas, says: This question is of
more vital Importance to us just at
this time than all the political issues
combined"
Never was truth more APPLY
spoken. The most economical ques-
ton of the day is the building of mod
ern roads. The building of system
of roads through every county in the
Southwest would doubtless incur a
struction, but also sufficient to run
the government besides. 1t is amazing
to think of the manner in which real
estate increases in value upon the adj
vent of good roads. Where roads are
bad the progressive element Of citi-
zenship is anxious to seek other parts
where civilization Is more advanced
and where modern ideas prevail, Good
roads are the forerunners of a train
of industries that are OF real worth
to the country. We have no fear of
seeing road building overdone. Push
the good work along.-lndustria

How many people of this generation

How many people of this generation
know the origin of the use OF the WORD
"buncombe" as a political term? IL
was first used by Felix Walker, repre-
sentative in the Sixteenth congress
from the mountaineers' district OF
western North Carolina, which con-
tains Buncombe county. After long
and tedious debate on the famous Mis-
souri, compromise, the old man secured
the floor and began to speak. Inc
house resounded with calls for The

cred around him and begged him 10
desist, but he told them that his con-
stituents expected him to make a
speech and he was bound to make
a speech for Buncombe."

Governor Colquitt has as good
right to make a speech against state
wide prohibition as a preacher has to
make a speech for it. Being a gov
ernor or a preacher does not deprive
a man of the rights of citizenship.
But Governor Colquitt has no right to
use his executive authority for polit-
ical purposes, nor has preacher a
right to so use (or rather abuse) his
ministerial authority.

Since London and Paris were linked
by long distance, it is said to have
been demonstrated that the French
language is better than the English
for telephoning. No doubt this is also
true of all of the Latin languages over
the Teutonic because of the superior
ity of the former over the latter in
open vowel sounds. But the English
people didn't understand Max O'Rell
when he told them of this defect in
their language.

BETWEEN COVERS



Unusually interesting fiction and
strong feature articles contest Tor
pre-eminence. There is story d
rare fascination by William J. Locke,
an out-of-the-ordinary ghost story by
Samuel Hopkins Adams, and a really
extraordinary story by Edna Ferber.
Julian Leavitt, in Something for Notn-
ing, tells how a great mandatory
uses the convict labor of five states,
thereby saddling an annual expense OF
$108,000 on the taxpayers. In New
Ideas in Child Training, H. Adding
ton Bruce tells of a number of youth
full prodigies among foremost Ameri-
can families; a boy who learned the
alphabet at two, one who wrote plays
in Esperanto at nine, a tot of three
who operated a typewriter intel't-
gently and a boy who was graduated
from college at fourteen. Hugh Full
lerton, in Between Games, gives 9n
intimate view of the ball player of
the field, and Albert Jay Mock in Why
Natures Way is Best points out the
advantages of raising revenue by tax
ing only things that do not encour-
age industry and development.

$4,000 is net PROFIT
ON CROP OF PEACHES
Success Of DR.. Slappy at
Fort Valley.

While Americas peach growers ship
ped but few cars of fruit this season,
preferring to sell the output of the
orchards to the large canning facto-
ries here, growers in other localities
took the chances on shipping, and
with satisfactory results, as the Geor-
gia peach brought record prices in
n. York and other markets of the
East.
The most successful grower report
ing this season is Dr. George H. Slap
pey, who has an orchard four miles
south of Fort Valley, covering about
100 acres, from which he this year
gathered "a cars of Early Bellies,
Georgia Bellies and Elbertas, of the
finest class sent out of the state.
After paying for picking, packing,
freight and commission charges, he
cleared exactly $35,5OO
Before the crop was ready for mar
ket, a New York man offered him $25,-
600 for the fruit as it stood on the
trees, but Dr. Slappey knew that it
vas a bad peach year, and further
more that his crop was the best in
the state.
He had nursed it from the time the
fruit had been picked the year be-
fore. had supervised the pruning, of
tie trees and with great pride he saw
the trtes blossom and the buds burst
into fruit. That his judgment was
go' is shown by the fact that re
cleared just $4,000 above the offer
made him by the New Yorker.
DR.. Slappey stated that he had just
received returns from a car sent TO
Loston. The car contained SIS crates
and after paying 1913 freight charges
81 for re-icing, $14 carriage and $3.50
commission, or a total charge of hand
ling and transportation of $493, re-
ceived a check for $1,396, represent
ing the net proceeds of one car.
