which a hook is attached. The cable
fastens to the belt by the rings. The
washer straps the belt around his
waist and takes his position on the
window sill. The cable, as shown in
the illustration, hangs inside and the
hook can be anchored to some heavy
piece of furniture or to another hook
in the floor or surbase near the win
dow. While this device was designed
primarily for professional window
cleaners, it will be found useful in
private houses, especially where the
servants are timid.

An UnsoLued Political Enigma

late John H. Starin, who was In con-
gress with Garfield and was close
friend of the latter, knew; and l base
this statement on a conversation /
had with Mr.. Starin several years
after. Garfield's death.
Mr. Starin," l said. did you ever
know that 1t was suggested to Presi-
dent Garfield, after the designations OF
Senators Conkling and Platt and the
confirmation by the senate Of Judge
Robertson as collector of the port of
New York, that an ideal way out of
the difficulty would have been the ap-
pointment of you as the collector of
the port of New York and the nomina-
tion of Judge Robertson as United
States district Attorney"
mo. never heard that" Mr.. Starin
replied. Garfield and l were always
warm personal friends. My seat,
when was in congress. was next to
him. When 1 found that General
Grant could not be nominated for
president in 1880, was very much
pleased when General Garfield was.
But l never heard that anybody had
said to him what you now repeat to
me-"
Well" replied, President Gar
field was told that II he had appointed
you collector of the port the entire
factional trouble between the Stall
warts and the Half-breeds would have
ended, and when he heard this he was
silent for a moment and then replied:
L never thought of Starin; wish
had"
That was an extraordinary, l be.
Iieve unequaled, irony Of fate" said
Mr.. Starin. "See all the consequences
it has led to. For one thing. 1t un
doubtedly paved the way for the cleo.
ton of Grover Cleveland as president
81 have sometimes heard it said
that General Garfield was persuaded
by Blaine to nominate Judge Robert
son for collector. Blaine, l know. felt
very grateful to Robertson. because
Robertson, through his leadership OF
the bolt in the New York delegation
at the convention of 1880, prevented
the nomination of Grant.
But if Blaine did urge that nomina
ton it was a fatal mistake for him tc
make. You may remember that. al
though there were several incidents
which caused Blaine to lose the cleo
toral vote of the state of New York in
1884, yet the chief cause of his defeat
was the knitting of him by the friends
of Senator Conkling in the Utica
New York; district.
These friends were firmly persuad
ed that it was Blaine who induced
| Garfield to nominate Robertson fol-
collector of the port. They bided theil
time. and when Blaine became the Re
publican candidate for president, they
determined to show their resentment
at the polls. Had Blaine received thu
normal Republican vote in Oneid;
county, New York, he would have OBJ
tanned the electoral vote of New Yorl
state. Therefore, in the nomination
of Judge Robertson for collector o
the port lay the real cause for the de
feat of Blaine for president in 1884

ertson was ambitious solely to be az

Mineral Production Second
Only to Agriculture.

Nearly q third of a billion
dollars was added to the wealth
of the United States from the
mineral production of the West
ern States during 1910. accord
ing to the figures of the United
States Geological Survey. This
includes about $66, 600, 600 worth
of coal, the remaining production
principally metals, having a
value of practically a quarter
of a billion dollars. The total
figures of western mineral pro-
duction as compiled by the
Survey are 1913, 944, SS1. This
is about one-fourth the total
agricultural production of the
same area. the production be-
tween mineral and Agricultural
production being about the same
as for the entire United States.
The agricultural production of
the Western States, derived from
figures of the Department OF
Agriculture, was approximately
81, 1894, 79l, 900. The area con-
sidered includes the belt from
the Dakotas south to Texas and
