terrible as an army with banners,
only he is very quiet with all his
deadliness. Kill one now and you
cut off few million flies from any
chance of life, but there are already
SO many abroad that what the one
lily might have done will hardly be
missed.
The Flyless Age may come in the
future. The flies will pass out OF
the world along with the horse and
the stable. About 50 per cent OF
all these pests are born in some
body's manure heap, alongside Or
in a stable. The other 2 per cent
come out of the garbage piles and
the refuse heaps. Walk down an
ALLEY any hot cay and see for your
self. If the alley is unclean, the
swarnas of black and green pellied
lilies will nearly choke you.
Ten days after Mamma Fly has
deposited her eggs in the manure
heap the filthy babies have pro-
crossed through the worm stage and
are trying their fledgling wings.
They are full members of the An
Client Order of Germ Distributors as
soon as they are able to make their
wings work Then they begin SOW
ing death, and it is not their fault
il the seeds do no. flourish.
They will be establishing chairs IN
the medical colleges for the study OF
the fly next. 1t practically amounts
to that now. Following up the
brilliant work done by Gorgas and
others in the fever zones where the
lily and mosquito vanished, taking a
lot Of disease with them, local health
boards have been waking up and
tackling the fly.
Next year the fly war will begin
little earlier and last a. little
longer than that of this season. The
death rate, already sagging a little,
viii sag more. Once flies were con
sidered as a nuisance. Now they
are known murderers of infants and
5layerS OF strong men.

TWO Paladins.
, Rouge NeW-Adyocate


Wilson will probably be elected
president.
Taft, by some freak Of fate and
Democratic hard luck, may be pres
ident again.
But whichever Of them sits in the
seats of the mighty will have to
undergo the touch of the gods be-
fore ever the chance comes for
them to figure SO large in history
conventions where the two standard
fsoearers were. nominated.
Theodore Roosevelt, who had been
president and who had refused the
presidency, with everything to lose
and nothing to gain III the way of rep
utation, undertook the Titan-task OF
| breaking a federal machine and
snatching his party from the con
troll of insolent and corrupt re-
| actionarism.
| He failed.
But his fight and the methods
whereby he was defeated did two
things:
| First: 1t ended forever in America
such methods as gave Taft his
nomination.
Second: I. inspired Bryan to his
Eown desperate. but successful fight
bat Baltimore to rescue his party
fffom the same control.
The STORY is that when Bryan
reached Baltimore, the air was full
of the inside" news that the big
! interests" were in control, and that
Murphy of New York, with a few
rotten borouGns surrounding, Wera
to swing the convention, dictate the
nominee and the platform.
Bryan's fight was perhaps the most
! brilliant political victory won in any
convention ii the last half century
and victory for political right
eousness without recent parallel
and stupendous in its significance.
Roosevelt lost-but losing, he won
for his country
/ banner to another to carry into the
rails of reward
Bryan and Roosevelt, together, an
ex-presida1lt and a man VINO may
never be president, differing as they

Building the Tallest Skyseraper by
Electricity.

Electricity.
Next to the Eiffel Tower, the new
Woolworth building in New York IS
the tallest structure ever reared to
the skies by the hand of man.
This skyscraper viii be fifty-flVe
stories high, totaling $50 feet, and
will be head and shoulders above
the Singer and Metropolitan towers.
To erect this wonderful building
powerful electric motors must raise
more than 10000 tons OF steel, brick.
stone. ETC., some of it to the roof.
Without electricity it would be diff
f:eult, if not impossible, to build and
maintain such mighty building
When completed it will be a small
city within itself, fully connected
with local and express electric Gle
vators, telephones, electric lights
and a dozen other things, from huge
yentilating fans to push buttons, op-
Grated by electricity.
Electricity, the master mechanic,
is practically building this enormous
structure. To hoist the steel and
set it in place are six derricks driV-
en- by S0-horsepoWer motors. -Four
Of these followed the course of con-
5truction to the tWenty-slxth floor,
the limit of the building proper, after
which two proceeded with the tower
work as far as the fortieth floor,
from which one of the derricks keeps
pace with the work. The hosting
engines and motors are seldom NOV
ed They remain several floors be
low the working level, the cables,
Of course, running through the struc-
ture from the drums to the block
and tackle on the lifting apparatus
itself.
The work of the hoist is by no
means completed with the safe de-
livery of the steel at the top floor;
| it must all be fitted together, and
so skilled have the workers become,
and so expert are they with their
signals, that the beams are guided
| into place with little friction and
Iloss Of energy.
Although steel-hoisting is thrilling
and to certain degree picturesque
! it is far from being the heaviest par
| of the work. Seventeen million
brick, weighing 42,5oo tons, and 750(
| tons of terra-cotta are also used
but they are carried to the bricklay
ers in prosaic WheelbarroWs, and OF
everyday bod hoists. Six of the
hoists are operated by a0-horsepoW
er motors and four BY 50-horsepowe.
| motors
| Cement and concrete are mixed il
the basement, the machines, four il
number, being operated by 15-horse
power motors. A plumbing system
is necessary, and temporary pipe
lead to hydrants, where two 15-horse
/ power motors keep the water in cir
culation. Another motor of 50-horse
ipower pumps rain-Water and leakag'
out of the basement.
There are two compressor plants o.
1 the work, one for the steam riveter
i and drills and the other for shoot
| ing cement. Seventy-fiye horsepowe
are required for the riyeters, AM
all day long their gatling-gun fusil
lade is heard. The electrical install
alton amounts to about twelve hun
/ dred horsepower in motors, two hun
dred arc lights, and about two thop
sand incandescent lamps. A fore
of six electricians is kept constant
i ly busy looking after the wiring.

The feeling Of Instructive revul-
sion againstparasites of. all kinds
which ch~aracterizes humanity gen
orally, and which IS que to some
thing much more than. the mere
pain or annoyance that their bites
might infict, becomes more inter
esting as further discoveries show
the,role of such insectA in the spread
of disease. Unfortunately this ma
tural adherence has not been
enough to protect men under condi-
lions of poverty. and uneleanllness
from harboring such parasites, and
now those who understand how
much more than a mere personal
annoyance is in question from the
existence Of parasites must take w
the problem of graduating them.
The possibility Of the bedbug'a
conveying relapsing fever, typhoid
and leprosy, has been suggested AID
apparently there is no parasite Of
man that may not be a mode of dis,
ease conveyance. Flies, feas

all under suspicion. but most Of
them are also actually demonstrated
as ordinary and frequent conveyors
of diseases Of various kinds. Ac.

!. Advertising Generalities.

oAkASh5 Ou duN6EI4bluB III LnV
Parkersburg Dispatch-News bears
the following heading. "You can't
|lasso a dollar with a lariat of glitter
ing generalities-its the tough,
hard old facts that the trading pub.
iic demands these close competitive
times" IA bit long for a heading
but it conveys an important bit OF
advertising wisdom.
Too many advertisers indulge in
glittering generalities. IA certain
article or commodity is exploited
and a reader win, "a he has the time
to wade through them, learn a great
many superfuous things about 1t,
and the chances are that the very
thing he seeks is omitted-lost and
buried under a mass of other triffng
and unnecessary information. Brew
ity is the foundation stone of sue
cessfu1 advertising. 1t is not neces-
sary to say that an article is useful,
excellent, fine, splendid, superane,
better, superb and so on, as a proper
and succinct description will quite
likely imply those qualities and at
tributes. Ut is far better to say thar
an article is so and so, used for a GER
tain purpose, made OF certain ma
terial and is sold for eighteen cents.
Those are the things the buying pub
lie wants to know.
Department store advertising is,
genrally, a good example Of brevity
and terseness. A short description
Of the article is given and then the
price-an important item.
Some advertisers waste a great
deal Of money and lose a great vol
ume of trade by using the form Of
advertising that requires additional
and useless correspondence and in
quiries. A certain article is adver-
tised, its qualities are set forth, but
its prices and sizes are omitted.
The average person IS too busy
too much occupied with other things
to sit down and write a letter to
a concern asking for the price or the
size Of an article. The chances are
that he will not do it, but will wait
until he happens to. see what he
wants in a store window or on a
store counter.
A concern in a northern city has
lately been flooding Clarksburg with
a-mass of advertising circulars and
pamphlets Of the glitterirg generality
sort. The advertisements look neat
and pretty and at a glance the prolix
descriptions appear to be we'll, writ
ten. But, the price of the article
has been omitted and the omission
is fatal. The writer of this article
happended to want one of the arti,
Giles advertised and he ~happended to
be bothered with the verbose circu'
lars, but he. has not the time nor the
inclination to start an investigation
in order to learn the selling price
More OF the circulars are coming but
they go into the waste paper basket
without being opened. This is the
fate of the most of the circular
advertisements. Life is too short
and time is too precious to wade
through such printed matter.
