Rrl,lnn Water With Air.

AS all schoolboys know, a suction
pump can theoretically elevate water
only about thirty-three and onethird
feet, column Of water OF that height
balancing the atmospheric pressure. A
means has, however, been found OF
causing suction pump 10 raise water
to a height Of even sixty feet. The
invention was made by workman in
the French marine. Monsieur Kys.
serie, the chief engineer Of the ina.
rlne, remarked that one particular
pump showed extraordinary qualities
in drawing water from ships holds.
Inquiry developed the fact says Har.
per's Weekly, that a workman had
thought Of the plan OF Introducing air
into the water at the point where the
suction was applied. thus producing
an emulsion of air and water which,
because of its diminisher density, was
capable OF being elevated to consider
ably greater heights than pure water.

There seems to be no valid reason
why any law should be enacted at

WILL SIGNATURE GENUINE
Register Admits Testament of James
w. Hendricks to Probate.


Testimony to prove the validity of the
signature of the late James W. Hendricks
on a will of the deceased was taken by
the Register of Wills today, when that
document was offered for probate.
The dispute over the signature arose
from the fact that the testator signed
his name in the attestative clause, which
shows the document to be his last will
and testament, rather than at the end OF
the WILL as is customary.
The testimony OF James Jones and the
latter's daughter-in-law. of 4611 Green
street. with whom the deceased made his
home established the authenticity OF the
signature and the will was admitted TO
probate
The estate is valued at 5000, the bulk
of which Is divided among brothers and
sisters The will, however, gives $500 to
the Allentown and Lehigh County Society
to Protect Children From Cruelty, 800
each to the Pennsylvania Society to Pro-
tect Children From Cruelty and the Penn
sylvanla Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty TO Animals and 500 TO the Allen
town and Lehigh County Society to Pro-
tect Children From Cruelty.
The will of James Nice. late of 1900 East
Buclkius street, disposing OF an estate OF
$4525 in a number OF small bequests was
admitted to probate today.
The will OF Thomas @. Lumley, OF 1915
DyFe street, was also admitted to pro-
bate today. It disposes OF a $500 estate.

spectively at tS526.90 and SS2IS5O.
