ROPE AS STRONG AS STEEL
Manila Strands Together Equal
Solid Bar Weight for Weight
Efficiency of Leather.

Cf the flexible ropes suitable for
power transmission a manila rope is
Just as strong As a solid steel bar,
weight for weight, though only about
liz per cent as strong per equal cross
section, according to a writer in Pow
er. Leather, on the other hand, is only
about per cent as strong as steel
than 40 per cent as strong per equal
weight Of material.
The relative efficiency of manila
rope and leather betting for the trans
mission OF power is not directly pro-
portfonal to their respective strengths,
however, as the internal construction
OF hemp rope and a strip of leather
differ greatly and vary differently by
wear. Manila f1bers, from which the
rope is manufactured, are usually from
eight to ten feet long, are composed
or elongated cells that possess great
strength longitudinally, but are COM
parattvely weak transversely. Leath-
er, on the other hand, is about equally
strong in any direction, so that the
wear on such a belt is mostly external.
/ In manila rope the wear Is largely in
ternal, the elongated fiber cells being
crushed together when passing around
sheave and breaking UP ints short
pieces. A worn-out manila rope, as far
as its strength is concerned, may have
the outward appearance Of an excel
lent rope, while internally its con-
struction is but mass of short, brok-
en- particles. The allowable working
stress of good leather belt is Gus
tomarily taken as 800 pounds per
square inch, or about one-tenth it's ten
sile strength. In the course of a year
or so manila rope will lose about so
per cent of it's original strength, after
which the weakening becomes more
gradual. Under such conditions it is
safe to figure on an allowable work
Ing stress Of about 28S pounds per
square inch, or one thirty-second it's
tensile strength.

She Was Wlsa.

A student took q lovely young
woman to the theater the other night.
He busted himself buying the tickets
and he didn't enjsy the show much,
because he kept thinking that maybe
she would expect him to take her into
the drug store and buy her something
before they took tbs car for home.
So soon as the performance was
over he said:
Have you been reading all these
dreadful exposures Of drug store bev-
erages in the Home Muckraker? It's
awfully interesting. Doctor Wiley tells
of how young woman went to a soda
fountain, drank a popular drink and
dropped dead
How tragic!" murmured the girl,
with shining eyes Lets you and
go in and take q drink and die to-
gether! Won't that be romantic ?'-

Successful Scenario Writer.

Elaine Sterne, winner of the Eve
New York girl, and though she has
only been writing photoplays barely
nine months, she has managed to win
for herself wide success in this field.
She was educated in New York, and
having always in mind an ambition to
write, took up special courses at Co.
lumbia in English and English liter
ature. She gained her knowledge of
photo-play technique by a close study
Of the plays as presented on the
screen. Writing, she believes, is a
"stick-to-it-ive" game, in which one
must sacrifice much to accomplish
anything

GOATS PAY MORTGAGES
THEY CLEAN UP UNDERBRUSH
AND DESTROY WEEDS.
Animals Are Naturally BroWsers and
Relish NoxIous Plants In Prefer
ence to Luxuriant Pasturage
Meat Is Nicely Favored.

(By GEORGE H. DACY. Copyright. 1914.)
Angora goats are profitable wage
earners. They clean up underbrush,
destroy weeds, yield profitable meat
and mohair and improve soil fertility
on a minimum Of feed and care. They
are also naturally browsers and relish
underbruSh and weeds in preference
to luxuriant pasturage. Without feed
other than what they rustic, grade
Angoras will produce from three to six
pounds Of mohair per animal each
year, which sells on the market at
from 35 to 60 cents per pound. Well
cared for pure breds often yield as
high as ten or twelve pounds of mo-
hair to shearing, while feeces Of spe-
cial luster and over fifteen or eighteen
inches in length sometimes bring as
high as SIS or $e per pound.
The meat Of the Angora is tender,
well marblsd and nicely favored, and
many consumers eat goat meat and
imagine that they are consuming lamb
or mutton. On the grade fat Angoras
sell for from four to six and a half
cents q pound. The manure Of the
goat rivals that of sheep as a tonic
for ailing soils.
Angoras are first aids to farmers
who desire to inexpensively subdue
wild land. twenty-five or thirty goats
pastursd on 100 acres of bush land will
effect wonders in q couple of years to-
ward retaining the idle land. 1t is
best to rotate the goats from one small
field to another SO that the animals
are constantly gaining in live weight
and at the same time killing out the
undesirable growth. Angoras will
stand on their hind legs and browse all
the leaves and twigs within their
reach. They uniformly Craze over a
field 30 that whom they are through
with the task of cleaning the land
the field Is in shape for plowing.
Grade Angoras range in price ac-
cording to age, weight and condition.
Farmers can usually buy good cross
bred focks at from $3.50 to SIS per an
imal. Pure bred bucks cost from SO
to $50 apiece, while full blooded does
sell for from $S to $40 per animal
The utility Of the Angora hinges
around his ability to perform valuable
work at cut price costs. Goats abhor
wet or swamp land as well as inclem-

Doqs Love the Villain.

That characters in photoplays are
sometimes entirely different in real
life is exemplified by Carl Stockdale.
Mr.. Stockdale is usually cast for the
role Of the villain and when he is an
actor there probably is no meaner vii
lain in the world, and when he is eth
er> hanged or shot at the conclusion OF
the photoplay audience always give
a sigh of satisfaction.
Mr.. Stockdale, however, in real life
Is one of the kindliest of men. He
has a horse and a number of dogs that
want to follow him wherever he goes.
Whenever he sees a sick or wounded
dog he always takes it home and
cares for it.
All of which goes to show that
you cannot pick villain by his make
up.

bull today. DR.. A. Il. Rodgers, who

in a terrific fight with the animal
and six infuriated steers.
Mrs. Lembarger was crossing pas
lure when she was attacked. Her L.

her mother and trample her to the
ground. She called TO Dr. Rodgers,
who was passing along tho road. The
doctor sprang from the buggy, Sc

rescue
Plunging the tines of the fork into
the bulls side, Dr. Rodgers managed
to drive the animal from his victim.
But six long horned steers, maddened
by the combat, rushed at the physi-
can. StandlnS ABOVE Mrs. f-ehiDdrS-
ers prostrate form, the physician
fought the crazed animals for half an
honr, driving the pitchfork in their
bodies. But their wounds and the
smell of blood seemed to make the
brutes more furious, and they charged
murderously time and again. Or.
Rodgers was making his last stand
with what was left of his ebbing
strength when party of farmers,
driving past, hurried to his aid and
beat the animals.
Mrs Lembarger was dead. Several
ribs were broken, her chest was
