PAVEMENTS THAT BLOW UP
Wood-Block Construction Frequently
Badly Damaged by Lone-con-
tinued Soaking Rain.

In the laying Of wood-block paving
there is perhaps nothing which gives
the engineer more concern than the
chance that the paving may some
day "blow up" 1t is easily possible
by proper specifications and inspec-
ton to secure good material and to
have it well laid. The trouble from
bleeding" which frequently occurs,
can be taken care of by covering the
pavement with sand or other absorb
ents. Systematic application Of grit
to the pavement in slippery weather
will remove the objections Of team
sters, 1t is rather pulling to an
engineer, however, to know what to
do to prevent the rising Of mounds
in the street looking like an incipi-
ent volcano, the result of some long
continued, soaking rain by which
the blocks have become thoroughly
saturated.
A blow-up from expansion is most
apt to occur when rain follows a long
period of extremely dry and hot
weather, during which the blocks be-
come thoroughly dried out and sand
and dirt fill the joints, so that when
the pavement is again expanded by
moisture the slack has been taken
up, so to speak. Systematic sprin-
king of wood-block paved streets
during dry weather might be an inn
p%ortant safeguard in preventing
trouble when the drought is broken.

AIR WAVES THAT ARE FATAL
Many Soldiers Killed in Battle With
out Being Actually Touched
by the Bullet.

That soldiers sometimes are killed
in battle by shots that have not hit
them is now definitely proved, says
a re- rt to the Paris Academy Of
Sciences by Professor Laurent Of
Brussels, who went through the Bal
kan wa with the Greek army.
He cites many cases of men being
struck down with conclusion of the
brain or of the spinal marrow, re-
sulting in commissions or partial par
alysis, without otherwise receiving
so much as a scratch. In many in
stances where death %supervened Pro-
fessor Laurent performed post-mor-
TEN examinations on the bodies, but
never, he says, found any actual
nerve LESSONS,
He explains death in these cases
as being caused by the fatal effect,
through the middle ear, Of air waves
of tremendous rapidity, which are
generated by pr%ojectiles whizzing by.
These sudden and violent changes in
the air pressure, he says, upset the
physical equilibrium in such a way
that the subject frequently drops
dead.
A French observer, Doctor Ma.
tignon, who followed the Russians il
the Russo-Japanese war, published
a report in which he came to simila.
conclusions, which met with SOM
incredulity at the time.

Live Stock-The shortage of
all meat animals, which has
been marked for several years,
is assuming more serious pro-
portions. Correspondents re-
port only 70 per cent as many
hogs on feed as one year ago
.82 per cent as many spring pigs,
and 76 per cent as many brood
sows. Cattle on feed are esti-
mated at &c per cent as COM
pared with September l, 1918

cent. It is estimated that 20
per cent of cattle on farms were
sold during the drouth. Many
farmers are feeding new corn
Some wheat is being fed tc

DRY CELL BATTERY USEFUL
Employed In Important and Almost In
Vulnerable Ways-lts Inventor
Is Unknown.

For a common and apparently
simple little object the dry cell bat
terry has a multitude Of uses and
plays an important part in the work
of man. The automobile, motor boat,
wireless telegraphic apparatus,
Christmas tree f%estoons, electric toys
and trains, electric engines, local
bell, telephone and annunciator sys-
TENS, miniature lighting equipments,
medical batteries and vibrators, cleo
trio alarm clocks, burglar alarms, au-
tomato door openers, safe cracking
devices, internal machines in their
many forms, devices for setting OIL
dynamite explosions in excavations
the various testing outfits and cleo
trio clock service, to say nothing Of
the divers ways that it is used in sci
entifc experiments, III q few Of the
most obvious of its applications.
In its manufacture there are about
as many processes as are necessary in
the making of a tungsten lamp, and
the machinery that makes it and
compounds the ingredients that go
into it is wonderfully interesting. So
exact is the formula applied to each
shell that when completed a battery
will register up to a uniform am
perage. The exact origin of the dry
battery is uncertain, many inventors
having claimed the honor.

WOUNDED HEARTS sEwED UP.

A Russian surgeon named Zeidler
reports thirty-one patients who re-
covered from stab wounds Of the
heart in the hospital at Obuchow.
Prompt and rapid operation is the
probable reason for this good show
ing.
The patients were all put under
the influence Of ether very soon after
the injury, part of the chest wall
was removed, the heart lifted from
its bed and the stitches quickly intro
duced between pulsations, The bony
chest wall over the heart was not put
back in place, that organ being left
covered only by skin and muscle.
This was done to give the heart
room to expand and to prevent ad-
hesions from embarrassing the
hearts action. SeyefaI of the pa
tients are at their daily work after
seven years since the operation.

to make even an official estimate
of the state corn crop for the
present year, it may be said
that present figures Indicate in a
general way a yield of about
IFS, 900, 900 bushels. Of the pres
ent corn crop 81 per cent has
been, or will be, cut and of this
it is estimated that one-ffth is
for silage.
Wheat-Dry weather held
back blowing for wheat. 1t is
estimated that but one-third of
the ground has been broken, but
since the rains blowing is being
pushed. Up to this time indica-
tons have been for a greatly de-
creased acreage, but with a IA
vorable September andstimulat-
ed by the prospect of high prices
in 1915, there may be an actual
increase in acreage instead OF
the 5 per cent decrease now es-
timated, Wheat will generally
be seeded late, owing to fear OF

Not so many years ago. the style
n mems hats was o pretty staple
proposition. and II man SO desired
he could readily wear spring hat
. IN the fall and vice versa; but Il
seems that men have followed the
tendency or women In style. and the
number Of different designs which
one may now find on display at q
large hat store Is almost unlimited.
One halter confided the fact that
the hat business was q much more
precarious proposition than previous
ly. and that new styles seem to spring
up almost more quickly than he can
order. This was particularly true Of
the hats for spring wear and will
again be reflected in the vast num-
Der Of styles which would be proper
for use this fall.
When the green hat was flrst de-
signed, 1t was the butt OF every Joke
smith In the country, and the man
lwho had the nerve to wear one was
considered to be an extremely brave
sort OF person; but for fall wear. the
green hat will not only be popular
but It Will be accompanied by hats
OF great many other colors that had
hitherto been regarded as rather un-
usual for mems wear.
There will be several shades OF
blue, green. brown, gray and olive
that will be shown by leading hatters

Of the more metropolitan cities OF the
country, and each OF these colors Will
be displayed In so many mAdels that
man will be almost bewlIusssd
when he goes into store and tries
to find hat that will be becoming to
him.
Besides the number Of colors there
will be an equally great number Of
colored bands which will be made 20
contrast with the body OF the hat,
making the entire appearance as at
tractive and distinctive as any hats
which have ever been designed.
Perhaps the most standard Of all
styles will be the high tapering
crown hat which had q rather limit
ed start In the straw hats OF the past
summer. The mushroom brim and
the diamond dip telescope will con-
tinue In popularity and are certain
to be worn as extensively as they
were during the past season.
Cloth hats will be somewhat in
vogue, but they will not be nearly as
popular as they have been and will
be worn more for knock-about use
than for regular street and dress
wear
There will not be any decided
change In the general proportion for
fall hats: that is, the relation be-
tween the height Of the crown and
the width Of the brim will be about
as It was for spring. though In some

wearing the crowns less tslescoped
and consequently very much higher
than the previous mode.
For early fall wear the soft hat

Of hats was usually confined TO two

the stiff hat being worn during the
entire fall. winter and spring sea-
sons, and the straw hat for summer.
Style tendencies have changed, how
ever. and we now find for early fall
use and early spring wear that the
soft hat is preferred by most men.
This is readily understood when one
appreciates the comfort that a soft
hat affords. A mans wardrobe to be
complete should now contain approx
imately four different styles OF hats
per year, OF which two should be soft
hats, with, Of course, the addition of
Q high silk hat for formal wear. The
silk hats for fall wear will show an
almost absolute exclusion or the op-
era type and Will be blocked on the
tapering crown and fiat brIm order
and should follow the lines of French
hats.
Golf caps for fall wear will be
shown In a great many more pat
terms than heretofore. and will ha

w THEN the late-the very late
Nv and unlamented Richard III
came a final cropper at Bos-
worth Field, some contemporary his
torian was moved to remark that
nothing in his whole life became him as
well as his manner of leaving it. For
it really had to be admitted that
Friend Dick was some scrapper
In somewhat similar vein we are
moved to remark that few things. if
anything, in the baseball career of
Charles Webb Murphy became him
to the extent of his sudden decision
to leave it.
As baseball magnate, {. w Mur-
ply is one of the most popular little
Iesigners the sport ever has produced.
(H71 do not pretend to say whether
w Mr. Murphy was actuated by
any motives having to DO with the
good of the sport. 1t may, or may
rot. have been that Mr.. Murphy quit
simply because he saw that the quit
ting was good and likely to get worse.
Mr. Murphy's career in baseball and
his whole campaign of running a
shoestriag up to million bucks, can
not be taken as indicating a warm
and tender solicitude for the welfare
of the game or OF his compatrots,
or of his players. or Of anything else
