The Happy Day Fixed.

1t is offcially and finally ARRANGED that the
reserve banks will throw open their doors on
November 10. The Observer had hoped for an
earlier date. but the officials appear to have
used all the expedition possible. and the mere
fact that the time for beginning business has
been announced will serve to strengthen con-
fdence ard help the situation. The Observer
believes that the faith which it has persstently
maintained in the beneficial agency OF the re-
serve banks will be fully sustained by the re-
suits from the very opening Of these institu-
tons. The reserve bank is the best feature OF
the Democratic currency plan. which is adj
mittedly the best that has been devised by any
in the history of the country.
The affairs of the country have been showing
steady Improvement since the beginning of the
fall We expect to It take leap into
prosperous conditions after November 16.--

NOVEL PILE DRIVING.
Dynamite Employed to Enlarge the
Base Of Concrete Piles.

1 oaSe " NoHSItte Fllcs.
A new type OF concrete pile. whicL
would seem To have little merit except
the novel way in which it is planted
! 10y explosive force. has been put on the
market by the Siegwart company OF
| LuCerne, Switzerland. The new pile
utiliZes the bulged bottom principle
common to several patented piles. but
is novel in that the enlarged base Is
formed by the use of explosives. The
process of making the pile is described
as follows:
An iron tube containing wooden
pile with an iron point and device at
the upper end for deadenlng the blows
OF the pile driver Is driven into the
ground. The wooden pile is then re-
moved. and the cartridge provided with
IN electrical detonator is fixed In posi-
ton at the bottom of the hole, aud the
tube Is filed with wet concrete lit
tie above the level OF the surface Of
the ground outside the tube. The iron
tube Is then drawn mp some feet to
prevent its end from being shattered
by the force of the explosion After
the detonation the concrete sinks
downward, filling up the space hollow
ed out by the explosion. Finally the
tube Is little by little filed with more
concrete and is drawn up gradually at
the same rate rs the concrete Is filed
into IT,
After the completion Of this process
ana after sufficient time has been al.
lowed for the hardening OF the con.

diameter than IL is possible to produce
by any other means. Moreover. on ac-
count or the action OF the gas formed

best possible results in COMPRISING

TEN serves the purpose of several piles
on any other system. thus insuring
great economy. BY using cartridges OF
