First Stocking Frame

The first stocking frames are said
to have been made by William Lee,
curate of Culverton, In 1886. and were
at first worked by him, with the as
sistance of his sweetheart or wife.
Like many other inventors, he failed
to receive a suitable reward for his
labor and is said to have died IN
Paris in 1910, starving and broken
hearted.
The Stocking Weavers' company
established in 1868, for the next nine
ty years had almost monopoly OF the
business. but Great Britain today
makes nearly one-half of the stock
ings made in the world. Gel many Is

Carved Himself In Wood.

One of the most remarkable work
men in the world is Hananuma Masa-
kichi of Tokyo, Japan, who has carved
figure in wood so like himself that
when the two are placed side by side
it is said to be almost impossible to
tell which lives and breathes and
which does not.
BY several connoisseurs in art this
wooden figure has been pronounced
the most perfect human image of man
ever made. Masakichi has faithfully
reproduced every scar, vein and
wrinkle to be seen on his own body
The figure is composed of 10000
pieces of wood, dove tailed and joint
ed with such wonderful skill that nc
seams can be detected. Tiny holes
we're drilled for the reception of hairs
and eyelashes in which no dissimilar
ity to Masakichi's own can be de
tected.

Fellows In Distress.

An efficient woman principal of
New York grammar school, though
devoid Of good looks and bearing the
marks Of long service in her profess
sion, still retains the charm of a de-
lightful frankness. One day while
watching the pupils pass out of her
building two by two, as usual, she no.

bis arm to his eyes, sobbing tumultu-
ously In answer to her solicitous in

 It would be hard to estimate even approximately the capital that is in vested in automobile factories but the amount would doubtless make a small town man open his eyes in idea of the number of sales in the United States per year when it i; stated that fifty new machines were sold by dealers in Pine Bluff alone during the past twelve months.
 Though at first the automobile was a pleasure vehicle, replacing the horse to a large extent, it is rapidly assuming with general satisfaction the equine's duties in all lines for which the most intelligent or ani- mals was formerly the chief factor. It has been Godsend to huge mer- cantile establishments in the larger cities, the expense of keeping and feeding stock being one of the largest accounts on the debit side of the ledger. Uncle Sam possesses innu- merable big vans that rapidly handle sacks of mail in transportation to and from post stations.

The Fastest CrOWinq of Industries

Automobile manufacturing vs the newest and fastest growing industry in the world today. Strictly speak ing, aeroplane building is the last word in mechanical construction hut as yet the air crafts are in the ex- perlmental stage and it is doubtful if the machines used in llurtling through space will develop into a practical article of trade as rapidly as did the horseless carriage.
 While a type of carrier, compact and self propelled has been experi- mented with for many years, still many young men were old enough to remember of it's inception into the realm of travel not a great while ago.
 Today it is one of the biggest in dustries in the United States and sev- eral foreign countries. Whole cities have been built up around huge brick buildings in which hundreds of men are employed daily in making the different parts of the mechani- cism. Numerous miniature forests in many parts of the country are con- trolled by firms, the timbers from which are used in making the bodies of the "buzz wagons and in little clearing on each little forest is a small mill that cuts the hugs logs in the rough, lumber from which will later be transferred to the polished box that sits upon steel frame and four rubber tired wheels. the completed machine selling to the pleasure lover or the business man, to be used as a delivery wagon, at prices varying from $500 to $5,00O.

THE AUTO IN PINE BLUFF

When everything is taken into con- sideration Pine Bluff has about as many joy wagons as any city in the state or country. They are used al- most exclusively as pleasure ve- hicles, very few attempts having been made to put them to commercial use. With the paving of one or two more streets the auto delivery wagon and truck will make it's appearance and it is said that a number of firms are now contemplating the purchase of these powerful, labor saving and ex- pense reducing machines.
 While the city has aoout 18,OO0 in- habitants, the large number of ne- groes greatly lowers the comparison of the number of machines to popu- lation of given figure. There are 125 automobiles housed in garages, private and public, in Pine Bluff, with prospects of having that number add ed to materially before the year is out, if the sales for the next six months are equal to those of the same period past. And the paving of more streets, and building of better highways will serve as an impetus to the purchase of machines by peo- pie who are financially able to own autos for pleasure but who do not consider the good road mileage of sufficient length.
 No one make of machine is par ticular favorite in this city and the products of at least twenty-five diff ferent factories are driven over the highways and byways of the Bluff City. Differing from the larger cities, models of three and four years old give just as much enjoyment to the owner as the one that bears the fig ures 1912. We have not as yet de- veloped the taste for the "latest' or perhaps our pocketbooks can't stand the strain.

 With the completion of the Main street, or Star City pike, several years ago, automobile sales increas. ed rapidly. The pike was the favor ite Mecca for the enthusiasts and with the day's work over thrilling

 The opening of the Sulphur Springs pike was the signal for an almost com plete desertion of the Main street road. With the delicious waters of the sulphur springs as an added at- traction the residents along the new ly made road were rudely awakened at all hours of the night by the throb- ping of the engines as they chugged their way to or from the springs The little village also put on boom.

The May issue of the Motor Age contains an interesting article on Ok lahoma's struggle for better roads.
 It is estimated that the sum of 60,000,000 is necessary to put the highways of France in conditions to withstand intense traffic.

It Is only when we regard our globe

and that system in turn as a unit
among the systems. that we realize
how infinitesimal are its concerns and
how relatively insignificant it is.
We may for practical purposes treat
the orbit of Neptune rs the circumfer-

pear to the observer upon the very

than a new twenty-five cent piece gilt

an observer at distance of something
over hundred yards.
