Injured in Explosion.

Last Sunday evening about $50 the
acetylene gas lights In the Methodist
church at Forbes went out. The gas
plant Is In the basement Of John Tay-
lor's residence and Mr.. Taylor left
church and went to his home about a
block away to find the cause OF the
failing of the lights. Surprising that
there was no gas there, he lighted
match and held 1t close to see II the
carbide was out. Instead the water
supply was out and the lighted match
held to the carbide caused ain explo-
sion. A young man In the drug store
about a block away heard the explo.
sion and went to the house. He
found Mr.. Taylor In the yard, ua-
conscious, and at once called DIR. j. L..
Hogan. Mr.. Taylor received a num-
Der of severe bruises, especially about
the head, but his condition Is not
alarming at present, and it Is thought
he will recover.

Completes the Levee.

The lcyce northeast Of town has
been finished, and much can be ex.
pcc,cd In protection to the farms on
this side rs vel! rs TO the town Of
Corning.
Mcssrs. Morris and Raiser, As levee
builders, are no novices In the busi-
ness, and We believe this leyee Is the
most solid and compact In Holt and
Atchison counties. This levee Is one
and one-fourth miles long, beginning
on the county line running south less
than a quarter Of q mile, and then
east on the old:levee which was raised
from two to four feet, and then
southeast to where the new ditch hits
II. The levee Is from nine to eleven
feet high and at the top Of the same
Is about three feet higher than the
streets OF Corning. This vast EN-
bankment Of earth will hold back a
great volume OF water In time Of
overhows In the Tarkio. Should the
water ever get over the top Of this
levee, the farms on this side and the
people OF Corning could expect to be
under two or more feet OF water.
About twenty-one thousand cubic
feet Of dirt was thrown up, and 1t
took Messrs. Morris and Raiser seven
ty-two working days to complete the
job with large force OF men and
teams.
1t looks as II the Association and
others are well satisfied with the

OPPOSITION TO CANADIAN
TREATY DUE TO WALL ST.

Cleveland, Feb. 21.-From Wall
street has come the inspiration
for the opposition to the propos-
ed Canadian reciprocity agree
ment.
So declared Representative r.
j. Hill of Connecticut in a speech
before the Cleveland Chamber OF
Commerce today.
To the ratification of the agree
ment with the PHILIPPINE Islands,
Mr.. Hill reminded his hearers,
there had been shown the most
determined opposition and dire
full predictions were made OF the
results that swiftly would fol-
low.
An analysis of the effect of the
agreement, when in operation
upon corn, wheat, fish, lumber,
butter and eggs, was given by the
speaker who emphasized a state
ment that it would be only the
surplus production of each coun-
try that would go to the other.
'The entire product of Cana
dian fisheries in 1908 was only
$25, 451, 094," said Mr. Hill. "Our
total production 4. is about $54,-
100000. Canada sent the United
States $S,l62,72S worth. We
sent to her during the same year
$3,342,S70 worth from our fish
cries.

Veteran Standpat Senator Throws

Washington, Feb. 20.-Senator
Aldrich, chairman of the finance
committee of the senate, has writ
ten to President Taft that he IA
vors the confirmation of the Ca
madam reciprocity agreement
Whether the letter makes prom
ises of assistance in getting ac-
ton in the senate at the present
session has not been disclosed,
but those who have seen the lat
ter, say the senator will do all he
can to aid the president in car
rying his programme through.
An announcement that Senator
Aldrich, whose name is attached
TO the existing tariff act had
subscribed to the terms of the re-
ciprocity agreement with Cana
da was received with great sur
prise in the senate, especially by
the standpat" senators, who
have come out against the agree
ment on the ground that it is not
IN compliance with the tenets of
the Republican party on the sub
iect of protection. Some OF the
senator's were loath to believe
the report that the chairman Of
the finance committee, who in
tariff fights has always been
found on the side of protection
for every industry, whether man
ufacturing, agricultural or other
wise.

ELECTRICITY ana fr1ntinB

one-fourth at least. Printing will
be as clean a task as typewriting.
Papers will be reeled off at far
greater speeds, and the operation
will cost less.
And how it will be donel What
medium will supersede the inkY
The answer of the apparently
impossible enigma is the electric
current. The same remarkable
energy as drives the intricate
nests of wheels will be the means
Of causing the type to record its
impression indellibly upon the
paper in any desired color, and
without the aid of any pigment
whatever
An English inventor has found
means whereby one pole VI
electricity is connected to the
type, and the other to the metallic
bed or platen upon which the pa
per is laid during the moment
when il comes into contact with
Il the type, an electro-chemical ac-
ton is precipitated whereby the
impression is received.
Some twelve pears ago the IN.
ventor in question was engaged
in some electrical experiments
in his laboratory. On the table he
had spread out a sheet of tin up
on which rested a piece of moist
paper. An electrical battery
stood by his side and the bare
ends of the wires trailed over the
moist paper. A certain electro
metallurgical action in connec-
ton with gold was the object OF
his quest. He dipped his hands
into his pocket to select an En-
glish gold coin as a makeshft Tor
the experiment in hand. One fell
from his hand and to prevent 1t
making a Decline to the floor he
sharply clapped his hand on it,
But it so happened that IN so
doing the coin was brought down
upon the bare end of one of the
wires on the paper, while the
other wire was resting on the tin.
When he picked up the fugitive
he was surprised to find clearly
reproduced upon the piece of pa
per the diverse impression of the
coin in clear, brownish black.
1t was just as if the coin had
been linked and then pressed ON
the paper.
This unexpected development
was the cause of no little aston
ishment, and he carefully repeat
ed the experiment with various
coins, connecting one wire with
the coin and pressing it firmly
upon the paper, while the other
wire was attached to the tin
sheet. The resul( was always the
same. no matter whether the
coin was gold, silver or bronze.
The invento fell to had think
ing. Why if coins could be print
ed i'm this manner should not or
binary type give its impression 7
There appeared no adverse reas-
on. so he set to work to continue
the investigation of the phenom-
enon upon which he had so in
advertently stumbled. He pro-
The Snyder signal. (Snyder, Tex.) 1887-????, 1911-03-03

cured some bars of linotype and
repeated the trials. The result
was just the same. The imprint
stood out clearly and distinctly.
There was not the slightest i'm
perfection in regard to any let
ter, no blurring, and it did not
matter whether the impression
was heavy or light, uniformly or
unevenly crude, for there was or
ly a slab of zinc, instead of the
original tin, laid on the bench to
serve as a bed, upon which the
moistened paper was laid, while
physical effort served to supply
the pressure. In these primitive
trials, with two simple wires
from a battery, however, he dis
covered one or two vital factors
Density of the impressions varied
according to the strength OF the
current while it was essential
that the positive pole should be
connected to the zine and the neg
alive to the type.
The first impressions with ordi-
nary paper slightly moistened SO
as to improve conductivity, al
ways produced brownish inn
print. so he at once set to work
TO devise ways and means of Sc
curing jet-black impression,
This quest entailed dipping into
exhaustible chemical expert
ments in relation to the action
of the electric current, and 1t was
some time before he discovered
what chemical it was necessary
to add to the paper to bring
about the desired result. Test
after test was made, first with
this chemical and then with that,
some inexpensive and easily
available, others very costly and
more difficult to procure.
The search was at first very
elusive. for he could not secure
permanency, or, if such were
gained, the paper IN course OF
time blackened under the com
bined action of the chemical and
the electric current. For ten
years he has wrestled with the
problem, and now complete sue
cess has attended his efforts, and
il has been found that the most
satisfactory results are secured
with lead type and paper I'M
mersed in solution containing
a small proportion of one OF the
cheapest chemicals obtainable.
The type of press designed for
use with this remarkable disc0v.
cry is, in comparison with the or
binary apparatus, quantity novel.
Ink rollers are conspicuous by
their absence, as are also the pig
ment ducts. 1t merely comprises
large rollers, constituting the
metallic platen sheathed with
well insulated, over which the pa
per travels and to which the pos
tive electric wires are connect
ed. The type, in form of a
stereo. is bent round aDother roll
err, which is similarly insulated,
and a suitable connection effect
ed with the negative wire. A few
other rollers are necessary to
guide and feed the paper both to
and from the point of contact,
and so on. But the most conspic-
uous feature is the absence of the
ink rolls, ducts and their pertain
inc mechanism.

When the discovery was nrsJ
announced it was hailed with ill
concealed skepticism. II was con-
sidered to be modification of
a photographic process, such as
had been vainly attempted time
after time, and that the impress
sion was secured by actinic agen-
cy. When this was conclusively
refuted by practical demonstra-
ton, which showed that the chem
icals impregnated with the paper
were not Influenced by actini-
cism, but were purely oxidized
by the passage of the electric cur
cent at every point where the
type was brought into contact
with the paper, and then only
specifically, it was declared to
be but a temporary impression,
and one that would disappear by
chemical reaction or by the eff
huxion of time.
The invention,lik many others
was premature, and the critics
refused to realize that such an
achievement was possessed of any
commercial value. True, at that
time it was somewhat primitive
and its possibilities were limited.
But the inventor was not a whit
dismayed He set quietly TO
work and has continued his in
vestigation necessarily for sew
eral years past and has now
achieved complete success-one
in which every requirement is
fully met and commercial practi-
cability is assured.
TO silence captions critics as
to deficiency in durability a larg-
err art booklet was printed ten
years ago with the type in brown
and the illustrations in black by
this means. Today the type is as
clear and as free from the slight
est sign of fading as if it had
come red-hot from the machine.
Numerous subjects were printed
on various grades of paper, and
the only signs of visible decay are
those of the paper itself, such as
would attend imprints under or
binary conditions at the same pc
Rod and which are inseparable
from wood pulp.
During the past two or three
years, however, the inventor has
made great strides. He has
solved the question :of printing
in colors from any subject in re-
lief, whether it be type, stereos,
half-tone blocks or what not,
both on paper and textile fabrics,
in such way as to be absolutely
permanent and at far less eX-
pense than attends the same OPP
erations on the ordinary machine.
In the course Of his investigation
concerning conductive oxidizable
chemicals under the action Of
the electric current he has elab-
grated a wide range of formula.
of simple character, for achiev-
ing the desired end. One can
