seen in the diagram. The other wire
was handled in the same manner. The
spring was stiff enough to draw the
wire up to nearly its usual tautness,
and yet it was elastic enough to take
up all the jerks and unusual pulls that
formerly made so much noise. Every

Simplest Of Many Devices by Which

One OF the simplest Of the several
devices by which electric globes may
be turned to any angle desired is that
invented by an Ohio man. The secret
lies in a small semi-circular arm. This
arm is slidably mounted at one end in
a movable base At the other end It
is similarly mounted in the lamp

A crusade seems to have been
started against vice in municipal
affairs. New York, Chicago, Sioux
City and Denver are following the
trail of vice into high places. What
a pity it is that a system can not
be devised to regulate these matters
like the governors on an engine,
which correct the least irregularity
rather than like the safety valve
which only gives temporary relief
when the emergency becomes too
great.
