A MODEL STOCK FARM

We had the pleasure yesterday of
an auto ride to l.. Lamberson's Lake
View Farm, few miles up the river,
and we were particularly impressed
with seeing the fine pure bred stock
that is kept there. Mr.. Lamberson
owns as good looking a herd of Poll
ed Durham cattle as is found in the
Estate. A bull that recently was pur-
chased at Peru, Ind, for $1,000 is a
son is constantly improving his herd
which now consists of many winners
of blue ribbons. A visit to the farm
is worth the while of any one inter
ested in good stock.

No Cure For Him.

A woman consulted an oculist about
her husbands eyesight, saying she
wanted a very strong pair of glasses
for him.
II fear | cannot recommend glasses
without first seeing your husband" the
oculist said.
He won't come at any price," was
the reply.
Then tell me something about him.
Can he see objects at a distance, or
does he experience difficulty when
reading? For instance. could he see
that pigeon which Is flying up above
us?"
"Rather!' the woman said. He'd
spot a pigeon on t wing quicker than
he'd see an aeroplane. especially If
he'd got a bet on it. What l wants yer
to cure is his shortsightedness when
he's seekin' work. He's been lookin'
for a job ten years and Y seen one
to suit his eyesight yet"
The oculist regretted that he couldn't
deal with the case.-Tit- Bits.

Electricity Beats 1eredos.

The teredo of the Pacific ocean,
which attacks all submerged wood
work, destroying a wharf completely
in the course of a few years, is being
successfully combated by the use Of
electricity. A floating power plant.
equipped for self propulsion, has been
designed for this purpose, and current
is passed through salt water, releasing
chlorine, hydrogen. bromine, iodine
and sodium hydroxide or concentrated
I've. The teredos are killed within a
very few moments by the great vol
ume of chlorine gas liberated. This
treatment does not render the piling
immune from further attack, but it is
claimed that an occasional treatment
will keep the borers from penetrating
to any great depth, so that the timbers
can be preserved indefinitely at a COM
paratively low charge. The operation
Of destroying the teredos is not at all
complex. The wharf is wired first, and
electrodes are suspended from it so as
to be submerged at a greater or less
depth, the details varying with local
conditions. The power plant on a
barge has a capacity of 10000 to 49,
600 amperes, but the voltage is exceed.
ingly low. The current is turned on
| for about an hour.

New Cooper Alloy,

A new copper alloy which has the
hardness Of steel and has great tensile
strength has been invented by a
French metallurgist. Eleven pounds
Of chromium are melted for one hour
with eleven pounds Of aluminium, and
then 242 pounds Of copper are added.
The entire charge is kept at fusing
temperature for half an hour. Then
flfty-five pounds Of nickel are added.
and the mixture is heated another
hour, upon which forty-four pounds of
zinc are added. The proportions of
copper and chromium can be varied &C.

is to be put. but the order in which

Value Of the Spsedomster In Checking
Up Expenditures.
The popular impression is that an au-
tomobile speedometer is used only for
telling speed and distance travelled.
For the practical autoist. the man who
wants his car to give him all the serv-
ice he has paid for, the speedometer.
IN conjunction with its odometer fea-
ture, has many other applications
First Of all. it will pay its cost many
times over in a year. for instance, by
providing claims for rebates on tires
which many manufacturers guarantee
to cover a certain number Of miles.
In the event they do not last the mile
age guaranteed a pro rata allowance
is made on the next purchase. It is
only necessary to make a memoran-
dunn of the date the tire is put in use
and the mileage recorded by the odom-
eter. Then when the time comes to
replace the tire the odometer will show
IL the tires have covered as many
miles as the guarantee calls for. BY
the same simple process the odometer
will save considerable money on gaso-
line, an item that amounts to no in
considerable figure every month. The
filling of your tanks is generally left
to others. and you have no means Of
knowing If you get the full amount of
fuel you are paying for unless you
check it up now and then with your
odometer.
The odometer will also audit the en-
CINE efficiency by permitting you to
keep it tuned to a point at which you
get maximum efficiency with a mini
mum fuel consumption. Test it now
and then with an odometer, and make
certain your engine consumes a guam
tity Of gasoline proportionate to the
number of miles the a has covered.
The same instrument will audit the
battery service and help to determine
which make of battery gives longest
service.
Another and more important thing;
When the time comes to purchase a
new car to replace the old it is we'll to
know if that make Of car gives the
service it should. The odometer will
help to determine if you will be justi'
| fed in purchasing another OF the same
kind.

In Delhi, N. Y, he removed to New

cation in the city schools. He began
his banking career in 1876 at the age
Of eighteen, starting as a messenger
with the Fifth Avenue bank. His
speciality as a banker has been "cred-

work which brought about the highly
