MAGNETIC SEPARATORS.
Improved Methods Of Removing Iron
Particles From Grinding Mills.

Particles From Grinding Mills.
In different kinds Of grinding mills
it is found that fragments Of iron
cause disastrous explosions, as. for in
stance. in all English oil works, where
iron turnings in the mills gave sparks
which set fire to the infammable ma
terial. says the Scientific American. A
number of works in Europe, and es-
pecially the ones which suffered from
this class of accident, are making use
of magnetic separators in the shape
of revolving drums. Inside the drums
are powerful electromagnetic, which
cause the iron particles to adhere to
the surface of the drum, so that the
pieces are taken up and delivered
over to the other side, where suitable
scraper takes them off.
In the improved types the inside
magnets have a winding of aluminium
wire, self insulated by oxide. so that
the coils are heat and moisture proof,
and the device Is very reliable. Such
magnetic separatOrs are recommended
for cocoa or bone mills. chemical works.
coal crushers, sugar refineries and
grain mills. as well as in the textile
Industries. We may mention one case
where iron particles caused Il fire in a
Wurttemberg spinning factory, where
$4,000 worth Of cotton was burned.
This class of works, together with Oil
mills. appear to be the most in danger
from the presence Of iron particles.

TRYING 1T ON THE DOG.

There is some advantage in having the Philip
pines anyhow. The islands are made the subject
of experiments that teach useful lessons here at
home. The other day attention was called to the
successes of the Ag icultural Bank of Paraguay.
the Philippines, organized in conformity to law
of Congress- is definitely established success, and
is giving real help in the upbuildins of nsuar agr-
culture @'
1t will be recalled, doubtless that this institution
modelled on the lines of the great Agricultural
Bank of Egypt, which one of the very great
monuments to Lord Cromer's administration In
Egypt in all Eastern countries the tller of the
soil was a peculiarly despised person. The money
loaners and sharks skinned him at every turn. 1t
was precisely the same in the Philippines. The
Egyptian bank has come to be one of the most i'm
portant financial institutions in all the East and its
services to Egyptian agriculture hardly be over
stated. 1t has given the rural population self
respect, economic independence, chance to become
intelligent 1t has, indeed, marked the beginnings
of very revolution in the relation of agriculture to
the rest of the community, throughout the entire
East.
Our bank in the Philippines is finding the people
very honest and reliable. Despite that land titles
bad all the islands, and therefore, make bad Sc
cury the bank has sustained almost no losses at all
its business is growing fast the people learning
more and more how to avail themselves of its serv-
ices.
The experiment with the Philippine dog seems
to have been successful enough to justify trying
some of the rural financial processes at home.

MILITARY INSURANCE COST.

field secretary of the Peace Association explains
that every time of the big Army guns is fred the
college education of boy and girl 700, goes up m
smoke. No doubt. And also every time the police
men and iremen of this city draw their pay enough
money is cashed in by them to finance peace So
cety. Nevertheless the money spent on the police
and fire departments is much better investment
than if it went into anything else.
For the nation the navy is protection and in
surance immeasurably cheaper than to 60 without
the protection and suffer the loss from war.
1t is only fair to the Peace Association to say
that it declares its belief in for protection
but" its field secretary declares, lit is question
of how much protection is necessary
The purpose of peace societies-to make war
hateful to all mems admirable. 1t is mission
to which they devote themselves without fear
of ridcule. But the BUSINESS of war-both max
ing war when there is war and making provision
against war when there is peace-is for men versed
in military science. Anybody else seeking to usurp
those technical functions of the soldier and the sailor
can't get serious attention from the public, though
is no hotter for than the Peace Association.

Rebel Leaders Look
For Sinister Surprises

JUAREZ. Dec. THE feeling spread
among constituuonalist leaders today
that the Huerta government was pre-
pairing some sinister surprises in con-
nection with the projected march of
Gen. Francisco Villas army toward
Mexico City.
That the federal troops had abandon
ed nearly all the northern part of the
republic, after they had been beaten
and forced to seek safety in the noun
tains or on the United States border.
and that Gen. Salvador Mercado, the
federal commander, had pronounced his
forces bankrupt. was not accepted as
indicating that the rebels would be un-
resisted on their advance south.
Some belief was expressed that the
federals had an object in evacuating
Chihuahua and other isolated federal
posts, in which 1t was impossible for
them to do much more than defend
themselves. and that their purpose in
doing so was to permit a more concert
ed and energetic defense in the central
and southern states, where forts are
more numerous and communication Is
easier.

SITTING UPON BOSS BARNES.

Reading of the action of the Republican State
conference of New York. one is inclined to think
that the transformation which has come over the
party which so meekly obeyed every behest of Will
liam Barnes, only short time ago. is almost like that
attributed to the magic of Aladdin's lamp.
Mr.. Barnes wished reaffrmation of the CON
servatve primary plank in the last Republican
State platform, and turned down. He certainly
didn't wish reforms in the rules of the assembly
that would clip his wings, but the conference
voted for them just the same. The whole program
decided upon, with direct nominations of State Of
fcers, from the governor down, by popular vote
as the bedrock, is more like that of Progressive
party convention than Republican one.
Evidences have been multiplying in many States
of the capture of the Republican organizations, once
so strong and defiant toward progressive princi-
p1es by those VINO think as the old school of bosses
didn't wish them to think. What has happened in
New York caps the climax. Mahomet appears to be
coming to the mountain

EATON / FAMILY IS
BROKEN UP AGAIN
Mother of Admirars Widow
Comes to Washington to
Live With Another Daughter.

ASSINIpPI, Mass, Dec. THE Eaton
family circle, happily reunited when
Mrs. Jennie May Eaton was acquitted
of the charge of staying her husband,
Rear Admiral Eaton, is divided, for a
time at least, it became known today.
Mrs. Virginia Harrison, Mrs. Eaton's 8
mother, has gone to Washington to live
with another daughter. Mrs. John L.
Edwards, wife of a wealthy real estate
man.
Dorothy Ainsworth Eaton, the school,
girl who figured in the Plymouth trial,
is living in Boston. She is studying art
for the purpose. so her friends say, or
making her own way in life. 1t Is un-
derstood her mother is assisting her.
Mrs. Eaton and her older daughter.
Mrs June Keyes, with June's babJ,
Eleanor, are away at present, but are
said to be planning to return in few
days.
Friends of Mrs. Eaton declared this
morning that she may petition Con-
gress for a Federal pension as the
widow Of a naval officer, and that this
step may be taken through Congress
man Thomas c. Thacher. Such a peti-
tion would be taken up by Congress,
which would have to fix the amount, as
the law does not state any definite sum
for a naval officers widow. Mrs. Eaton
and Mrs. Keyes conferred with Attor-
ney William A. Morse in Boston.
Mrs. Eaton also has written to Gov
ernor Foss to learn if the State would
reimburse her for the expenses of her
trial. This letter may be referred to
the executive council.

THE FOLLIES OF 1912.

Reference is had to some of the political pledges
of that season. For instance:
The Democrats were particularly violent in op-
position to dollar diplomacy. Never, no. never,
would they permit the independence of the Carib-
bean republics TO be mortgaged in favor of wicked
banking groups. The outrageous Honduran and
Nicaraguan loan projects would be instantly re-
JeCted.
Yes, indeed
Now, what has happened? Instead of pitching
dollar diplomacy" overheard the present Admins
traton has adopted it, pushed it in directions
farther than the Taft Administration went, and is
planning, the newest coup, an effectual protec-
torate over all Central America
Again
The Democratic platform of 1912 promised that
there should be no central bank in this country.
There was no especial need to make such pledge;
il probably didn't gain the party any votes 1t is an
embarrassment now, and forces the party to a dis
ingenious handling of the currency question.
Once more:
The platform of 1912 promised that the party
would only ask one term for one President. Before
1t has been in power year everybody frankly ac-
cepts that its President will be 'renominated and
that If there were any uncertainty about il, the
Presidential primary that he has proposed would
make it certain
To point out these little inconsistencies between
promise and performance is not to find fault with
performance. Generally the performance has been
