NO POSSIBILITY OF ERROR
Truck Counter Does Its Werk AutO-
natIcaIIy and IL Is Said Cannot
Make q Mistake.

An ingenious machine designed to
automatically count truck loads OF
merchandise is invented. It Is claimed
that where any considerable amount
Of shipping is being done, the truck
counter will frequently save its cost
In q siRgle day through the elimina-
ton Of errors that invariably creep
In where the usual method is em-
ployed.
The counter is so made that when
the truck rolls on to the apron, the
weight of the truck load presses the
apron down, the truck wheels move
the lever forward, and the load is
tailed. AS the trip lever moves for
ward, it also goes down, and with
it the narrow apron; therefore the
platform becomes so nearly level that
no resistance is offered to the
trucker.
AS the truck passes off Of the ma
chine, the latter is instantly set for
the next load. The machine cannot be
tripped by the weight Of the men push
ing the truck or by returning with
either an empty or a loaded truck

Sumnerys Sure Sion.

"There are various ways by which
we can tell with more or less certain
ty when summer has come" said
Mr.. MacF7HckertOn. ''YOu can tell
in some degree by the weather and
the temperature. You can tell in
some measure by the clothes you see
people wearing and by the advertise
mentS of summer resorts in the news
papers. In seasons such as the pres
ent you can even tell something about
when it ought to be here by consult
ing the almanac. But, after all, in any
season, the one sure sign that summer
has actually come is found in that one,
single, solitary fly that comes in to
wake you up ahead of time in the
morning"

When halfway back 10 camp heard

I'm the direction Of the sound. went
through brush and glade for about a
quarter Of a mile until came to q
tiny waterfall. I could still hear the
sound Of the bell, but rather family,
through the splash Of the falling wa
ter.
There were gong-shaped bubbles,
some of them four inches in diameter,
floating on the water below the fall,
and the water came over the fall in
divided stream; some Of it dripped
from the ends Of twigs.
The charm Of the brooks music held
me there for some time enjoying that
delicious dripI drip! drip! and the
clear, soft ting ting ting! That still
night in the tent 1 heard the silver
bell-like tone again. What was the
source Of the ringing? l have found
an explanation that seems to me to fit.
Have you ever been hammering at
something and when you struck GER
tAin blow have you heard a ringing
from q pan or barrel near by that you
had not touched? Or, in blowing
horn, or even in shouting, have you
not heard the answering ring Of some
sonorous vessel set in vibration by the
horn or the voice?
Well, there you are. The dripping
water sets those bell-shaped bubbles in
vibration. The original sound of the
drop is REINFORCED, and away 1t goes
through the air, as if on witch broom,
to play it's mysterious pranks on some
unSuspecting traveller.
Since that time have often listened
for water bells when camped near a
brook, and usually with success when
the air was still and the water in con-
dition to form large bubbles.-Youth's

Persian Easy to Learn.

A new interest in Persia which the
war has awakened may tempt some of
us to become acquainted with the Ian
guage Of the country. We need not be
afraid of making the attempt, for Per-
stan shares with English the reputa-
ton Of being & singularly easy Ian
gMage to learn, the chief trouble being
that it is written in the Arabic char
acterS.
1t had, however, at one time three
numbers and eight cases, and the
Avesta, the chief book Of the Zoroas-
trians, is only to be understood by the
ripe scholar. But modern Persian has
no cases, no declensions and no gen
ders, and may therefore, be mastered
without tears and without the appli-
cation of wet towels to the head.

"HE Driggs-Seabury Ordnance

Driggs-Scabury was originally or
ganized to make ordnance, equipped
its plant for that sole purpose. and
has in its record much ordnance en-
perience. Its plant is located at
Sharon. Pa. II was built for the spe-
cial purpose of manufacturing guns
and all their parts, including gun
carriages. limbers, and caissons, as
well as shell. One of their first Gus

number of these Federal contracts.

the materials of war. success should
still further follow on it, present re-
organization. For new capital has
been put in, the management placed
in the hands of men formerly con-
nected with the Bethlehem Steel
Company. and big plans carried
through for the development of its
business.
The Sharon plant is in the finest
physical condition. 1t has the most
modern machinery obtainable and is
complete in every respect. Its men
and machines have proved their
abilities, and are steadily employed
in a capacity manufacture that
turns out the highest grade of prod
uce. The sharon plant has excellent
facilities and equipment for turning
out from 3-inch to 6-irch high eX-
plosive shells: shrapnel, and also
small guns, gun-carriagcS, limhers
and caiSsons. This plant also manu-
features automobile parts and auto
mobile trucks, but this latter has be-
come in recent times the subsidiary
feature of the business.

Expansion Of the Company.
The Driggs-Seabury Ordnance

control of the Savage Arms Com
pany of New York, a $1,000, 900
concern. manufacturing rifles and
automatic pistols, and distinguished
by reason of having the exclusive
rights in the Western Hemisphere
for the manufacture of the Lewis
Automatic Machine Gun. Many of
these guns are being used in the
present war. The Savage Arms has
for many years been engaged in the
manufacture of firearms and NUM-
tionS. The business of the company
has greatly increased since the war
in Europe began. and il nov has on
hand contracts of great Importance
for the manufacture Of ordnance
and munitions and particularly for
the production and delivery of the
Lewis gun. The Savage Arms Com
pany was organized in 1858 and in
corporated in 1897 in New York.
The company plant is in Utica. a
new factory was recently equipped
with machinery for the manufacture
of the Lewis machine gun For the
last few month. these factories have
been running day and night in order
to meet its contracts. The acquisl-
ton of stock control OF this COM
pany therefore will be very advan-
