\ noted Austrian chemist, Dr. Just

itself perpetualiy from the air A half
hour s rest is said to restore all of the
power given out by the cell in four
hours The eIectrolyte is . substance
which is completely renewed by the
oxygen of the air. This is one of the
most remarkable discoveries of all
time, if the claims be founded on fact
The search for an inexhaustible source
of power-not only inexhaustible but
cheap and easily obtaincd-has occu-
pied thousands Of scientists for many
centuries. Besides the illusion of
self perpetuating mechanical motion.
which has been a snare to many a per-
son incapable of realizing the impos-
sibility of its attainment, there have
been attempts to harness tides and
waves and sunight-but none of these
has yet proved to have commercial
value. The Harvesting of the air by
making it renew a simple electric cell
sounds wholly reasonable and wonder

Out of the lessons of the war that
Germany and France have shown US is
putting waste to work. Both here ana
in England too much is wasted. We
are prodigal with our foods, our sup
plies and all our resources Since the
war started the French and Germans
have brought this idea of making
waste work to the very highest etfci-
ency. Tid-Bits, the magazine, helps TO
illustrate this point when it says:
What becomes of the old sardine
boxes, tomato tins, meat tins, fruit
tins and tins of all kinds? In France
they gather them up, and use them
to cut into tin soldiers. In France,
too. the old boots and shoes are col
1ected, and every part is used again.
The work is mostly done by convicts
in prisons. They take the boots and
shoes to pieces and soak them; then
the uppers are cut over into children s
shoes; or, if they are too far gone for
that. a peculiar kind of pressed leath-
er is made by some chemical action.
The nails are saved and sold and the
scraps 90 to the farmers to fertilize
the soil. Who would have thought It
possible to make anything out OF Old
saws? Yet it is said that many of the
finest surgical instruments and some OF
those used by engineers are manutac'
tured from the steel that first did duty
in saws. The steel Of saws IS OF the
very best quality and finest temper;
and since it is good in the first place
( it is always good.

ITALY A BIG BUYER.
Took s166,0OOOOo Worth of Goods
from U. S. in Seven Months.

WASHINGTON, April IL Italy s
growing Importance as buyer of
American products is Indicated in
figures assembled today ii the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce,
which shows that that country took
$l66,000,000 worth of goods in the
first seven months Of the fiscal year
l9l5-l6. Only England, France and
Canada were heavier purchasers of
American goods.
Exports from the United States to
Italy III the first half Of the fiscal
year 1886 amounted to $148, 000,-
600, only slightly below the figures for
the entire fiscal year of 1914-15 and
twice as much as the full gear pre-
ceding the outbreak of the European
war.
The great single article cf ex-
port t.: Italy is cotton, 100000
worth of which was purchased in the
United States IN the first six months
of the fiscal year, against $34 900 fer
the entire preceding year. Wheat ship
ments jumped from $l,800,0O0 for a
year to SOS. 100000 for six months.
Wool manufacturers grew from $50, 900
for a year to $13, 100000 for six
months and boot and shoe shipments
from 100000 to $780, 600.

Why Not Ben Gates?
CNOrthfield News.)

1t is not necessary for the Repubi-
cans of Vermont to go hunting for am
more candidates for the first two
names on its ticket. Graham and
Weeks will make an appealing and
winning combination that will give
the state good service. The promotion
of Mr.. Graham to the governorship
will leave Il vacancy in the office OF
auditor of accounts. There are many
men outside Washington county who
believe the present secretary of civil
and military affairs, Benjamin Gates,
would fill the office etficiently-Brat-
tleboro Reformer.
The Reformer voices the sentiments
of many who are not Mr.. Gates S
near neighbors. 1t is a laudable am
bition for any one to have a desire to
be auditor of the state of Vermont.
Those who are well acquainted with
Ben Gates feel that he can fill the bill
in this office, if he is given the chance.
/ While he has made no mention of his
intentions it is being talked of as a
possibility. His business as secretary
of civil and military affairs has put
him in touch with all departments of
the state government. As assistant

served two years as state s attorney.
He certainly has the legal training to
go with this office. The News some
years ago said that someway, some
where, somehow, Ben Gates found a
way to enforce the laws. He is a
good mixer, possesses tact in a marked
! degree, is the right age, has lots of
! pep, and in general would fill this place
/ to his credit. There will no doubt be
other candidates. Perhaps others that
will measure up to the requirements

Working the Newspapers.
(Deerfeld Valley Times.

The gall of some persons in this
world is past understanding. The av-
erage purchaser, buying, for instance,
pound of coffee at grocery store,
never thinks of asking for two pounds
Of free sugar to sweeten the beverage.
He knows that he would be refused.
But if this same purchaser buys ad-
vertising space to the extent of dol
lar or two he almost invariably sends
along reading notices amounting at
reader rates to double the cost of his
display space. And then, when re-
fused, he threatens to take his adver-
Using elsewhere. The Times is not
being run for the fun of it and its
space is worth the price asked. Free
readers are not given, except in the
case of some charitable work or where
the occasion can be treated as news,
and it is useless to ask for free read
ers. The practise of running free no.
tees indiscriminately has made the
publishers Of country papers look fool

the strIdent voice of the llnocker had

there wouldn I be four blocks of paved

however, goes along with his head up

in everything that will put his town

The most liberal booster in any town
is usually the newspaper, which makes
enemies by advocating creosote block

The Cruelties of Peace.
Christian Register

Shocking as are suffering and the
destruction of lives by war, the gave
ty and enjoyment of life at the same
time may be even more shocking.
While five days away populations suf-
fer for clothing, food, and medicines,
and little children orphaned by war
might be supported for three dollars a
month, the lavish expenditure of mon
ey on Injuries and dissipation, the
riotous and insolent waste of resourc-
es, the extravaganza and sef-indulgence
which reports say were never so con-
spicious as now in our metropolis, IN
dictate a hardness of heart, GOODNESS
of imagination, a cruelty of inditfer-
ence which warfare hardly exceeds.
Peace hath her cruelties as well as
war, and when they are selfish and I'M
plying they seem in way more cruel
than the eTuelties of war. While
wounded men undergo operations with
out anaesthetics, one wonders how
many of them would be saved their
agony if those for whom champagne
flows freely at ten dollars a quart
were to feel the shame of their bru-
| tality and send its cost to the war hos
pitfalls. The usual reply that this ex-
penditure helps support someone who
needs also to live may be left to the
economists to make short work of
Those who make it must blush for
their brains; they should ask: Who
needs this expenditure most? Where
will it do the most good? We need an

HaSty Marriages.
Springfield Reporter.)

NDIIIII IIVlI NJ 'Vl ~
Bellows Falls is forging to the
front as a rival of Brattleboro as
marriage mart. In each case couples
from Massachusetts come to Vermont
to get married for the reason that
they do not wish to wait five days for
the legal notice required in Massa-
chusetts. If couple cannot wait five
days they had better call the wedding
off altogether. There are too many
hasty marriages, and it would be a
good thing for Vermont to enact law
requiring similar notice of five days
before any couple could get married
in this state. Such a law would tend
to reduce the number of divorces, and
so help to save the institution of mat
rimony from being still further dis
graced.
