MAKING A CAMPAIGN BANNER
How the Big Affairs Are Made and
Assembled and the Portraits
Painted.

The services of twelve men are
required to produce one Of the big
campaign banners, relates Harper's
Weekly.
Two men prepare the strips on
which the lettering is done. Two
more look after the lettering Of these
strips, the painting of the names of
clubs or associations ordering the
banners, the captions for the por-
-traits and the offices for which the
nominees are to contend.
Two men work on the centerpieces,
generally consisting of an eagle and
shield. One man devotes himself to
the special portraits, and the others
assemble the various parts, sew the
strips together and give the finishing
touches to the banner.
The portrait man" scorns to do
any other work than the main por-
trait. The rest he calls ''filling in"
By working on the same faces day
after day this artist becomes so skill
full and so rapid in execution that he
can paint the portrait of a candidate
in the dark and paint it as true to
life as the standard Of the campaign
banner industry requires.

IRON FROM LAKES BOTTOM
Primitive Fashion of Fishing for the
Ore in Some Parts of
Sweden.

In Sweden the bottoms of many
lakes, are covered to a thickness of
some six or eight inches with frag-
ments of iron ore about the size of
peas. The composition Of this lake
ore consists Of ocher, or hydrated
oxide of iron, with silicate and other
impurities, and it is said to yield
pig iron Of good quality.
Very primitive methods are en-
ployed to obtain the ore. In win
ter a hole is cut in the ice, a scraper
attached on a long pole is inserted,
and all ore within reach is collected.
This curious kind Of mining is
conducted in a similar manner in
summer from RATS anchored in the
lake. 1t is said that two miners can
bring up about four tons Of ore a
day. Steam dredges have been in
stalled in a few places.-Harper's
Weekly.

NOT REALLY so WONDERFUL

quented by locomotive engineers and
fremen. These men talked a great
deal about their tremendous feats
in getting over certain hills without
the help of a second locomotive.
my opposite neighbor at table, a
young fellow who ran a lathe in the
shop, grew tired Of this monotonous
Dragging; he thought he was en-
titled to do a little talking himself.
One evening he called out to me:
Well, I went over and saw the
new machine today, and it's aston
ishing the fine work it does
"'How does it work?' I inquired.
Well,' said James, by means Of
a pedal attachment, a fulcrumed
lever converts a vertical reciprocal
ing motion into circular move
ment. The principal part Of the
machine is huge disk that revolves
IN a vertical plane. Power is applied
through the axis Of the disk, and
when the speed Of the driving arbor
is moderate, the periphery of the ap-
paratus is travelling at high veloc-
ity. Work is done on this periphery.

MOVING PICTURES TIRE EYE
French OcuIist Traces Great Many
Diseases to These Wonderful
Modern Devices.

A French oculist has traced a
large number of eye diseases to the
impression made upon the eye by
moving pictures. In some cases
visual fatigue persists for days and
makes reading impossible. The cine
photographic illusion is due to the
persistence Of the luminous impress
sion on the retina. The mean dura-
ton Of that persistence is two-forty-
fifths of a second. To produce the
illusion the pictures must pass so
swiftly that there shall be no ap-
parent lapse of time. The retina
must seize every detail. Few visitors
to moving-picture shows fail to note
their sensations Of visual safety ;
despite their interest in the pictures,
it tires them to follow the details of
the play. Some part of the plates
may be defective or the light may
be too intense or too weak. What
ever the cause, even the most toler-
ant eye is conscious of WEAKNESS.

Z0DIACAL LIGHT A MYSTERY
This Strange Illumination Is Thought
to Be an Appendage Of
the Sun.

There is a strange light in the
heavens appearing after sunset in
the late winter and in spring and be-
fore sunrise in the autumn, but few
persons in our latitudes have ever
seen it. In the equatorial regions,
however, and in certain parts of the
tropics the zodiacal light appears
with great splendor, and some re-
markable views of it were obtained
by French expedition to the inte-
rior Of the Sahara, undertaken for
the purpose of studying the effects
of the unclouded sun on the dry air
of the desert.
The mysterious light, in the form
of vast triangle, rising high in the
heavens, appeared nearly three times
as bright as the Milky Way. Science
has not entirely solved the problem
of the origin of this light, but it is
thought that it is an appendage of
the sun.-Harper's Weekly.

GOODROADS MOVEMENT

CITIZENS ORG A NIZ E
LEAGUE
TO BUILD ROAD OR TURNPIKE
Movement Meets Approval
of All-Propose to Enter
a Town With Railroad
Special to the TELEGRAPH

Special to the TELEGRAPH
Columbus, Nov. 7.-Quite anum-
Der of our leading citizens held a
meeting here Monday to perfect
the organization of Good Roads
League.
The purpose of the league is to
get all the citizens in this section
to cooperate in the building of a
good road or turnpike to some
centrally located railroad town,
where the farmers of this section
may be able to market their pro
ducts.
On account Of the bad roads
which now exist, the farmers are
handicapped because of the ex-
pense attached to the cost of MAX
ing delivery of their hay, cotton
and other products during the
: winter months.
1t is, therefore, the purpose of
the League to build a road which
will be good at all seasons of the
year, in order that goods may be
hauled to and from the market at
a very low cost.
The Columbus Good Roads
League has been made a perma-
nent organization with quite a
large enrolment of members, and
the purpose of the league meets
with the hearty approval of all
the citizens of this community.
Officers have been elected and a
committse appointed 50 draw up
SAy-laws. The secretary has also
Been instructed to communicate
with the Government Highway
Engineering department to get
an estimate of the cost of con-
structing the proposed road.
1t will also be the aim of the
league to have the road built on
rural mail route in order to get
government aid.
This road, when completed, will
not only mean a great deal for
this place, but also for the town
into which it is built. Therefore,
the League expects to procure
financial aid from the town into
which the road is built.

OUR DISSOLVING COUNTRY.

1t has been figured that if the
work of erosion performed by water
on the total surface of our country
were concentrated on the Isthmus of
Panama it would suffice to cut a
canal from ocean to ocean, IS feet
deep, in about 73 days.
The average annual erosion pro-
duced by water in the United States
corresponds to the removal Of a lay
er about three and quarter feet
thick in 3,400 years. 1t is calculated
that our rivers transport every year
270,000,000 tons of solid matter and
513,O0O,000 tons of matter in a state
of suspension.-Harper's Weekly.

lookafter the child until it reaches
an age that it is safe from harm;
the society keeps in touch with
every child placed in a home and
sees that the child is properly
cared for and educated to make
good citizen.

place and maintain each child in
a good home and those who pay
this amount, to be paid $1,000
each year for five years, will have
child placed for them in a good
