COST OF REPAIRING WAGONS
Farmers Profits Are Greatly Decreased

How much do you suppose it costs
you a year to repair your wagons

Children's' colds contracted in wading

box On staff with certain standards
marked along its length. The box Is
supplied with standard electric lamp
taking its current from a battery car
ried in the pocket of the operator. The
photOmeter box Is supplied with mir
rors rejecting the light Of the lamp in
such manner that it's intensity may
be readily compared with that OF the
standard lamp.
In use the operator may hold one
end Of the staff with one hand and
place the other end against the Ian
tern or globe Of the street light. With
his free hand the operator presses
the handle elements together, thus es-
tablshlng the circuit and releasing
the clutch element, lighting the stand
ard light and freeing the photometer
box on the staff. The operator may
then ascertain the candle power by
comparison in the ordinary way and
having done this, the operator re-
leases the handle elements, thus
breaking the circuit Of the lamp and
locking the photometer box on the
staff. The operator at his convenience
can then read the scale in respect to
the pointer and so ascertain the can
die power.

SMELL CAUSE OF INVENTION
Odor In suIphuric Acid Waste Led
TO Production of Professor
Bells Photophone.

Alexander Graham Bell, the great
inventor, in the National Geographic
magazine, tells how his photophone
was invented primarily because Of a
smell The explanation Is as follows
First, . chemist detected In sui
phuric acid waste an odor which on
analysis was found to come from q
hitherto unknown substance. This
was called silenium..
Second, gilenium crystallized was
found to be conductor of electricity
of phenomenally high resistance.
Third, the new resistant having
been put to use in place of whole coils
of wire to balance the Atlantic cable
during the period Of laying, was found
TO have at night twice its resisting
power during the daytime.
Fourth, Professor Bell, playing upon
silenium's sensitiveness to light, pro.
duced the photophone, by means of
which one may talk over a beam of
light,

COST or LIVING INCREASED
There Are Times When It Is Impos-

Products to Market.

The people who groan under the
high cost Of living and wonder why

Cabbages and turnips and apples

they would bring high prices IN the
cities do not realize the condition OF
the country roads. When roads are
bad farmers experience difficulty IN
getting their produce to market. when
roads are very bad there are states
OF the weather in which the hauling
Of heavy wagon loads from farms to
railway stations becomes impossible.
The farmer would like to sell what
he grows, The city dweller would like
to buy it. Both have an interest In the
building and maintenance Of good
roads, providing at all seasons OF the
year available highways between the
cities and the farms.
Sometimes roads that would be IN
fair condition for teaming are cut up
by reckless automobiles. The wanton
destruction of highways by auto
sCorchers should not be permitted.
Automobile owners as a class have
done much to improve some Of the
roads, but on the whole western roads
are disgrace. There must be aroused
public sentiment in favor of good
roads. There will be when it is real
lied that good country roads are

rines are not expected to accomplish
much in real struggle, SO the larger

while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff

ever. great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and, in

of more than 5000 miles. This, then,
is new and important factor in naval

the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was In existence in
1904, but it was very different sea
