ELECTRIC WELDING is BEST
Modern Methods of Manufacture in
Many Lines Benefited by DiscoV-
cry and Practice.

Welding by electricity has long
been successfully established as the
only process to perfectly amalgamate
two metals into one. You have hardly
a tool or piece of machinery on your
farm but that is electrically welded
where there is a juncture of metals.
The present state of perfection of gar
den and barnyard tools, mowers, reap
ers, binders, threshers, cultivators,
kitchen utensils, dairy machinery,
edge tools, chains, automobile engines
and steering gears, bottom of oil cans,
frames of bicycles, etc, is made pos
sible through electric welding. The
same process produces pittsburgh
perfect" electrically welded wire fenc
ing, which is a solid, one-piece fabric
enjoying many distinctive advantages,
among them being the ease with
which it is strung, the great tension to
which It can be stretched because OF
the absolute elimination of long"
and short" wires, the smooth surface
making wire cuts impossible, and the
neat appearance of the fence. Modern
methods of manufacture in many lines
have been greatly benefited by the dis
covery and practice Of welding by
electricity.

SAILORS USE "D0PE"
Law Proposed to Check a
National Peril.

Paris.-The sailors in the French
navy are become dope fends" to
such an extent that the national eff
cheney of that branch of the service is
threatened, it is asserted by Admiral
Belleu in a statement in support of the
Paris Martins crusade against opium
smoking. The peril, according to the
admiral is grave and menacing. af-
fecting in a widespread name the
health of the sailors.
The Matin has turned up 1853 opium
smoking dives at Toulon alone, not to
speak of the great number in Brest,
Cherbourg, Torrent, Rochefort and
other great French naval ports. The
opium comes from Frances Indio-
China colony.
The law in it's present state, it is
said by the scommandant at Toulon,
cannot be used to stop the opium evil.
This being the case, Deputy Leboucq
has given notice that at the %reopening
of the legislative session he will in
troduce an amendment to the law pro-
viding for heavy penalties for opium
selling. The minister of marine will
be questioned for his views on the
subject.

ELECTRIC FANS IN STABLES
Marked Improvement in Condition OF
Horses Is Noticed Since introduce
ton of Devices.

A great change in the condition of
the horses owned by a western COM
pany vas noticed upon the introduc-
ton of electric fans in the stables.
During the heated terms the animals
are found to be in a very much i'm
proved condition as compared with
that before the introduction Of the
fans, and the explanation is that the.
animals are enabled to secure their
proper rest, and are thus in better
shape to undertake a days work. A
light line of shafting was introduced
into the stables and the large bladed
fans we're used with streamers secured
to the paddles to keep the flies from
the animals. The experiment was
made at first in one portion Of the
stable, and 1t was attended with such
a marked improvement in the condi-
ton of the horses that it has been in
troduced generally throughout the es-
tablishment, which is a very large
one.

ASYLUM INMATE A MYSTERY
Patients Mind a Blank Except ina
He Served in Navy and u. s. Is
Asked to Investigate.

Rochester, Minn.-Oficials of the
state hospital for the insane mere
have interested the navy department
at Washington in al endeavor TO as
certain the identity of an
man who has been a patient in the In
stitution for five years. h mah'
unconscious and nearly dead, was
picked up in June, 1907, on the ran
road tracks near Waseca, and in M
following April was committed to the
asylum. He has never been able 10
talk, and cannot remember any OF MS
family history, but can recall his lie
in the United States navy.
From gestures and signs that ne
makes with his left hand, his right
side being paralyzed, he has indicated
that he was an officer in the navy. by
laboriously writing the initials y. =.
r." it is believed that those are the
initials of his name, but he is unable
to give any idea of what the letters
stand for. He has also made 1t PLAIN
to the asylum officials hat he entered
the United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis when a boy and served In
the navy for many years.
Also that he had been commission
ed to carry certain documents from
Washington to San Francisco, and
that it was while on his return trip
and after leaving Minneapolis, that
he was either thrown or fell from the
train near Waseca. His continued dec
laration that he has been in the navy
has led DR.. A. F. Killbourn of the state
hospital to take up the matter with
the navy department at Washington
in the hope of establishing his iden
tity. Every description possible, DR.
Killbourn says, including finger prints
has been sent to the department.

MUST KEEP CLOCKS LEVEL
London Timepiece Maker Explains
Cause of Their Failure to Stay
In Order.

London.-The reason why mantel-
piece clocks so often get out of order
is 80 obvious that 1t is strange that
attention to it has not been drawn be-
fore. A London clockmaker said:
ut is because mantelpieces are
rarely level. If a clock meant for a
mantelpiece is not placed in an exact
ly horizontal position it is sure to go
wrong. When the clock gains or loses
because of its slanting position, peo-
pie regularly move the hands forward
or backward, al the case may be. in
order to adjust it. Eventually the
clocks hands are moved about so much
that the mechanism gets out of order
and the clock refuses even to tick.
Watches and travelling clocks are
constructed differently from the sta
tionary clock. and they will go in any
position. That Is why they are relied
upon more than the ornamental man

SON IS MODEL FOR MOTHER
Mans Striking Resemblance to Dead
Parent Makes Possible Painting
of Portrait.

Kansas City, Mo.-When James Con-
cannon, % years old, left here recent
ly for his home near Lenora, Kan, he
was happy in the possession of a
painted canvas on which beamed the
features of his mother as before
death, an artistic triumph made pos
sible by his intense filial owe and de-
votion and his remarkable resem-
blance to his parent.
When Concannon's mother, 70 years
old, died last August, he was distress
ed by the fact that a dim old photo
graph was the only likeness Of her
he had. Realizing how similar were
his own features to hers, he consult
ed a local artist to learn whether a
lifelike picture of his mother could be
made from the photograph and him
self. He was told that the painting
could be made for $3.50. He labored
on a farm seven months and saved
the required amount. ut is an exact
likeness" said Concannon as he left
the studio with his treasure.

Abridged Bible.

An abridged Bible is being advo-
cated-one that will contain only the
vital parts of the great book, and
that omits hundreds of pages of mat
ter now not read at all except by stu
dents. No doubt such a Bible would
become instantly popular, because it
would all be interesting and to the
point. In this age, none except stu
dents will wade through very long
books. Everybody wants the truth
boiled down to the very shortest space.
The great story of the crucifixion is
told in very few words, and all the es-
sentials of the Bible for the average
person could easily be covered in one
fifth the pages required for the whole
work.-Gallipolis Tribune.

ELECTRICITY GUARDS A SAFE
Large Vault Under United States
Treasury Building Protected by
Elaborate System.

The United States government Is
now in possession of the largest and
finest safe in the world. 1t Is located
deep underground below the United
States Treasury building at Washing
ton, and in this huge strong box it is
the intention to keep in storage at all
times not less than $500, 900 900 in cur
rency, says the Popular Mechanics. OF
course, this new governmental depos-
itory Of wealth is not a safe" in the
ordinary Interpretation of the word,
but rather a vault, nearly "a feet in
length, close to 20 feet wide and about
16 feet in height.
The exterior walls of the new vault
are of the heaviest steel construction,
and the door and portfolios provided
for ventilation are closed by heavy
steel doors fitted with the latest ap-
proved locks of the heaviest and
most intricate construction, but the
main safeguard for this s~ubterranean
wealth lies in an electric protective
system that cost 5000 and which en-
meshes the entire vault in a close
drawn network of electric wires-more
than II miles of wire in the aggregate
which sounds alarms at any interfer-
ence. This system is tested every 10
minutes day and night. The only
means of reaching the new vault is by
a secret elevator, guarded by treasury
Waterman.

Electric WeIdinq.

The scope of operation of electric
welding has widened greatly during
the last few years and the process is
an important factor in the progress of
the metal industry. The process has
been found especially economical in
duplicate work owing to the rapidity
with which it can be produced. MI
merous forms of automatic machines
have been perfected for this purpose.
Electric welding machines for handling
a wide variety of sizes and shapes are
standard equipped in many manufac-
turing plants. Numerous forms of
portable electric welding machines are
in service for welding copper, brass
and aluminium wire to obtain continu.
Gus lengths.

FLEES IN BIG BOX OF SHIRTS
Convict Opens Trick Lid of Packing
Case After It Is Placed in Freight
Car at Wethersfield, Conn:

Hartford, Conn.-The Connecticut
state prison at Wethersfeld all but
bought a railroad ticket for the es-
cape of Charles Dewey, who had
served two years of a five to nine
year sentence for highway robbery
He concealed himself in a packing box,
supposed to contain shirts, and was
carried to the freight yard by the
prison var. The escape was not dis
covered until the return to the prison,
and an investigation disclosed the
empty box in the freight car.
The cover of the packing box gave
every indication of being nailed down
tight, when in reality only n side
was fastened. The nails on the other
three sides were driven SO they came
just inside the box instead of catch,
ing the wood. A handle vas fastened
to the underside of the cover and to
this was attached a heavy piece OF
wire so that the prisoner might keep
the lid from shifting
Dewey was engaged in packing the
shirts for shipment, and his oppor,
tunity to get in the box came when

HER "REST FRIEND"
A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum.

We usually consider u best friends
those who treat us best.
Some persons think coffee a real
friend, but watch it carefully awhile
and observe that it is one Of the
meanest Of all enemies, for it stabs
one while protesting friendship.
Coffee contains a poisonous drug
caffeine-which Injuries the delicate
nervous system and frequently sets
UP disease in n or more organs OF
the body, if it's use Is persisted in.

for four years and the doctor
coffee. He advised me to leave it off.
but I thought l could not" writes a
Wis. lady.
"On the advice of a friend I tried
Postum and it so satisfied me l did not
care for coffee after a few days trial
of Postum.
LAS weeks went by and I continued
to use Postum my weight increased
from SO to 118 pounds, and the heart
trouble left me. l have used it a year
now and am stronger than I ever was.
/ can hustle up stairs without any
heart palpitation, and l am free from
nervousness.
My children are very fond Of Post
UNI and it agrees with them. My sister
liked it when she drank 1t at my house;
now she has Postum at home and has
become very fond Of it. You may use
