Inventor of the Airbrake.

Who really invented the airbrake?
Certainly the automatic airbrake, the
one that has proved practicable and OF
permanent value in modern railroad
ing, was the product of the late George
Westinghouse ingenuity. His patent
for the automatic brake was taken out
in 1872, superseding the non-automatic
or straight" Westinghouse airbrake
patented in 1869, and later the West
inghouse vacuum brake was invented.
But, as in the case Of most other In
ventions. there are several claimants
for originality in this field. Thus,
Nine NJ Drouane, daugheer OF NJ.
Debruges of Paris, claims the distinc-
ton of priority for her father. The
New York Times has a letter from
State Senator William p. Fiero OF
White Plains containing a patent office
declaration by his grandfather. Henry
Miller, of a new and useful improve
ment in the application Of steam and
compressed air to the purpose OF OPP

uary 2, 1856. Mr.. Miller was doubt
less a pioneer in the progress OF air

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
Devotees Of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodation Without Price
at Inn at Capri.

Capri, beautiful in itself as a winter
resort offers an irresistible invitation
TO artists. since it has an inn where
anyone, by painting picture on he
wall, can get free board.
To the lovely island of Capri. with
It's perennial summer, its blue grotto.
and its lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, a ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his will.
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
The charge per Gay. two bottles OF
red Capri wine included. is never TO
be more than six francs.
IF any artist is too poor TO pay he
shall paint a picture upon some wall
space. receiving all the accommoda-
ton accorded TO those paying the high
est price.
IF any German artist shall come
to the inn he shall be accommodated.
and shall receive the amount OF his
fare to Germany upon his promising
never to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. It's walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare home.

What Bernard Shaw Said.

Bernard Shaw once gave expression
to one OF the finest things he or any
one else ever said. Here it is: Keep
yourself clean. Remember you are
the window lights through which you
must view the world"
You may try 10 convince yourself
that it will not matter TO the outer
world whether or not the windows OF
your life are kept clean. But there
is one thing as certain as anything
can be certain. and that is that 1t
matters TO you, whether IL does to
anyone else or not, for II you cannot
get the right perspective on life and
upon all the various beauties that life
gives out. then you are cheating your
self.
Everything matters that has TO do
with your individual happiness

ORIGIN OF THE SPLIT SKIRT
English Explorer Reports Discovery
of the Vogue in Region as Far
Away as Papua.

It will no doubt interest feminine
readers to learn that the slit skirt is
rot exclusively feature Of latter day
civilization. 1t seems. indeed, to be,
as some male critics have suspected,
a product Of savagery. Where the idea
originated is not quite certain. 1t has
been variously attributed to Paris and
New York The discovery has now
been made that this latest creation in
feminine attire is in vogue in places
where civilization is unknown, where
no white woman and very few white
men have ever set foot, and most of
those who have ventured there have
been killed and eaten.
In report to the minister for exter-
nal affairs in regarding his recent ex-
petition up the Fly river, in Papua,
Judge Murray of London, England
states that he visited parts OF the
territory which, as far as he was
aware, had not previously been ex.
plored. and one Of the most interesting
of his discoveries was the fact that
all the women in one of the tribes
were wearing slit skirts. This style
of apparel seemed to have been in
use for many years.

RETURNS FROM WORK HORSES
Many Little Points Are Enumerated
That Will Lessen Cost Of Animal
Labor on the Farm.
CBy A. H. BENTON, Assistant Agricul

(By A. II. BENTON, Assistant Agricul-
turist. University Farm, ST. Paul,
Mnn.)
One of the most frequent sources OF
loss on the farm is insufficient return
from work horses.
Have you satisfied yourself on the
following points?
Do your horses earn enough to pay
for their feed and care, and enough
to meet the interest, depreciation and
other expenses, as harness costs and
shoeing?
1t costs S100 annually to keep the
average horse, in Minnesota, but this
horse works only little more than
three hours each working day. This
makes the horse labor cost approx
mately ten cents an hour
Do you handle the horse labor on
your farm so that the annual cost OF
keeping your horse is less than the
average, or SO that the number of
hours worked is greater? Both meth
DDS will reduce the cost OF the horse
labor. but the latter offers by far the
greatest opportunity.
Can you revise your cropping sys-
tenn so that fewer work horses will be
needed, or so that the work will be
more equally distributed and thus
make 1t possible to employ them more
hours each year?
Can you raise colts and thus reduce
the cost OF keeping your horses?
| Can you arrange TO use your work
horses for outside work when not busy
on the farm?
Can you reduce the cost of keeping
each horse by feeding less feed or
cheaper feed and still give a proper
ration?
Farm work done with fewer horses
means n saving of 500 year for
each horse not needed
