Screws Really Date From 1886.

Until the nineteenth century the
manufacture of screws was a rather
crude process of forging and cutting
with hand tools. Small screws we're
little known or used before 1886, but
In that year machinery began to be
constructed both in this country and
abroad and screwmaking became thor.
oughly established.

Won FALKENHAYHE
MEETS SITTER
OPPOSITION
TeutOnS' Attacks Fail to Break
Through Rumanian Lines
MAKE NO CLAIMS OF PROGRESS
In the kronstadt Region Rumanians
Claim to Held Their
Ground.

London, Oct 16.-Von Falkenhayn's S
repeated blows have failed to break
the long Rumanian line. At every
point except one on the 400 mile
front the Rumanians have thrown
back every Teuton attack. Neither
Berlin nor Vienna reports progress;
they content themselves with saying
that fighting continues"
The Rumanians admit they gave
way at one point-in the BurZen Val
ley, southwest of Kronstadt. At
Table Butzi they were forced by Won
Falkenhayn's Germans and Austria..5
to withdraw little to the south -
says today's Bucharest statement.
This region is near the Torzburg Pass
the entrance to which the Germans
have forced, carrying the fighting to
Rumanian soil at Rucaru.
Everywhere else in the Kronstadt
region, where the Rumanians have
four passes to defend and are with
standing the blows Of a strong Teuton
army, they held their ground. At
BTatecea and Predeal they resisted all
the Teuton attacks.

GERMAN ARTILLERY TAKEN
British Beat Back Attack of Liquid
Flame Throwers on Thiepval
Ridge.

Paris. Oct 16.-F'rench infantry
have stormed and now hold firmly a
considerable portion of the village of
Sailly,Saillisel, northeast of Combles.
The village, once part of the German
fourth line, is now a strong defence of
the German center between Bapaume
and Peronne.
South of the Somme the French also
went to the attack and captured a
small wood with two heavy German
guns and one light gun between Gen
ermont and Ablaincourt, the scene of
most desperate fighting of late. In
this region two German attacks were
repulsed in the neighborhood of Ber-
ny.en-Santerre.
The Germans attacked in force the
British positions on the Thiepval ridge
near the stubbornly contested Schwa
ben redoubt after bombarding the
British troops holding the redoubt.
The Germans came to the attack with
liquod flame throwers, but were
thrown back by the British. The Brit
ish day and night statements say the
Germans were mown down by the
machine gun and rifle fire of the de-
tenders, who suffered only slight
losses.

The Austrian statement issued to-

back across the Negra Valley with the
loss of 31S prisoners and two machine
guns. The Russian statement of to-

The Hanaman's stone.

There is large bowlder lying in n
field near Foremark, England. which
is known throughout Derbyshire as the
"hangman's stone" The exposed por-
tion of the bowlder rises about six
feet above the surface of the surround
ing field and has Il narrow ditch or in
dentation running across the top. The
mark, so tradition says, was made in
this way: A sheep thief in the dead
of night, while leaning against the
bowlder to rest, placed his booty above
on the fiat surface Of the stone. The
man had the sheep tied with rope,
and in its efforts to escape the creature
slipped on the opposite side, and the
rope, catching under the thiefs chin,
choked him to death. The indentation
In the rock was made by the friction of
the rope while the dying man was en-
gagged in an effort to extricate himself.

other remembrances.
Mrs Hadley is IN remarkable health

An Ideal system of Law.

The law, so far as it depends on
learning, is indeed. as it has been called,
the government of the living by the
dead. To very considerable extent,
no doubt, it is inevitable that the liv-
ing should he so governed. The past
gives us vocabulary and fixes the
limits of our imagination; we cannot
get away from IT, There is, too. pc
culiar logical pleasure in making man
ifest the continuity between what we
are doing and what has been done be-
fore. But the present has Il right to
govern itself so far as 1t can, and it
ought always to be remembered that
historic continuity with the past is not
a duty; it is only necessity.
| hope that the time Is coming when
this thought will bear fruit. An ideal
system of law should draw its postu-
lHtes and its legislative justification
from science-Oliver Wendell Holmes.

' Some One to Care.

Coming home on the train last night
saw pleasing scene from the car
window. 4 little girl stood at the rail
road station with an umbrella. 1t was
raining hard. When the train stopped
she looked ea.erly up and down and
then ran to meet young woman. The
child lifted the umbrella protectingly
over the woman and looked admirlngly
in her face.
1t set me to thinking. After ALL the
main thing that we need in life is some
one to care. AS long as there n some
one awaiting our Homecoming. eager to
welcome us and make us comfortable
we can keep up courage
1t is orr 3ury to ourselves to gather
around us family or friends. Those
who care are staffs TO lean on, magnets
to draw us away from temptation, bal
sans to heal our wounds and buoys
to keep us from sinking.
We need all the friends we can
make and hold Shirley in Farm Life.

Contrasts In a Great City.

One OF the things that make New
York an interesting city is the practice
Of some shopkeepers of putting in their
windows attractive goods with price
labels. An arresting instance OF this
sort was seen recently in q Broadway
jewelers. window. Here was a finger
ring of diamonds and an emerald, price
$l2,500; marquise shaped diamond
ring, $42J0; pear shaped diamond
pendant. $2,2J0; diamond earrings, 3d.
500, and a galaxy of other resplendent
gems to appeal to the frequenters OF
the Great White Way.
At the other extreme of the social
scale for the buying public are the
pushcarts of New York's east side,
equally interesting in their way. On
one of these carts in Canal street an
astonishing variety OF things mechan-
ical was found. among others clocks
and watches, music boxes, all kinds
of tools and at least score Of second
hand cameras OF various makes. -Ex-

The Diamond

The diamond is pure carbon or char
coal, but the secret processes by which
nature rearranges the atoms of the
black, lusterless charcoal into the
flashing diamond is mystery that
the chemists, stimulated by the cer-
tainty of great gains provided they
we're successful in finding the solution.
have never been able to discover. Nor
is it certainly known from what de-
partment nature takes the diamond
making material 1t is supposed TO be
furnished by vegetable charcoal which
undergoes a peculiar process of decom-
position and crystallization, but it has
also been conjectured that the car
bonic acid, shut up from remote Pc
rlods in the calcareous rocks, may have
soliditied in this peculiar form.
