An AII-Seeinq Eye.

A self-operating eye, which when at
tached to a typewriter enables that
machine to copy any printed matter
properly set before 1t, is the invention
of a Brooklyn electrical engineer. The
eve consists of a large sphere having
a lens on its front side and field cor
responding to a retina on which are
situated a large number Of selenium
cells connected with a source of cleo
trio current. The eye is mounted on
and moves with the carriage of the
typewriter, and is so focused that the
image of but one letter is reescted in
it at a time. Popular Mechanics Mag
azine tells how the machine operates.

RELIABLE REMEDY
RESTORES KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder rem
edy.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. DR.. Kilmer used it for years in his
private practice. 1t helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work nature in
tended they should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it will help you. No other remedy can
successfully take it's place.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this

PROGRESS ON DIXIE HIGHWAY
Taylor County, Florida, viii Build
Forty-Four Miles Of Sand
Asphalt Road.

CHATTANOOGA. H. Scales Of Perry,
Fla, has sent a message here that
Taylor county voted 100000 and
would build Al miles of the Dixie high
way of sand asphalt.
This leaves only the county OF La
fayette in which to gain bond cleo
ton victory in order to clear the way
from Tallahassee to Gainesville, from
which point the highway is open to Ar
cadia. -
Lafayette county has convicts at
work and will provide good sand
clay road. The citizens say, however,
that they will not be outdone by their
sister county, Taylor, and that they
will start to work at once to secure
an adequate bond issue to construct
hard surfaced road.
Marked progress is being made
along the eastern route between Gin
cinnati and Knoxville. Judge Ham
mond, in command of the Dixie high
way forces in Knox county, Kentucky
says that after years delay an agree
ment has been reached with the state
highway department and that work
would be started on the entire mile
age through that county just as soon
as the contract should be let.

HAVE TWO QUEER SCARFPINS
How the Chinese Employ Bright Plum
age of Birds in Works
of Art.

Governor Brumbaugh and Col. Louis
J. Kolb are wearing the most unusual
scarfpins in Pennsylvania.
1 have not seen anything quite so
thoroughly oriental since / was In
China, says Philadelphia Ledger
writer. That is where the piece de
resistance of these two pins came
from.
You have doubtless seen beautifully
decorated enamel watch cases and
whatnots. Well, the Chinese artists
do their coloring and decorating with
the bright feathers of birds. I saw
them at that sort Of work in Canton
pasting the tiny pieces upon metal
and glass and ivory.
Colonel Kolb recently bought some
very handsome pieces from an Amer
lean art collector aud he had two
scarfpins mounted on gold. the ORR
entail work in both is identical, and
consists of two brilliantly-cOlored
birds upon a field as big as dime, and
all made from the feathers of real
humming birds.
was told in China by the men
making similar articles that If pro-
tected the color in a birds feather
would not fade In thousand years.
Colonel Kolb gave one of his pins
to the governor.

To Locate a Storm.

AS soon as you locate flash OF light
ming count the seconds before you
hear the thunder clap and In this man
ner you can easily determine how far
away the storm is. Since light travels
10000 miles a second, we may for all
practical purposes regard ourselves as
seeing the lightning the instant it
flashes. But sound travels only 1887
feet second. Multiply 1,0S7 by the
number of seconds during the interval
between the flash and the thunder and
the result Is the distance between you
and the storm. AS rule, from IL to
Is miles is the greatest distance thun-
der can be heard.

OFFICERS OF NATIONAL GUARD
GET FAIR sALARiEs-PRI-
YATES SIS A MONTH.
SCHEDULE OF PAY ROLL
Some Officers Have Assumed Posi-
tions at Camp Rye at Sacrifice
az Compared To Salaries In
Business Life.

Nashville.-There has been much
misunderstanding in the public mind
as to just what the remuneration of
officers and men in federalized ma
tional guard is. This has arisen
through the fact that part of the time
these men have been receiving pay
from the state as state militia, and in
the past few weeks, or since being
mustered in as national guardsmen OF
the United States, they have received
pay from the government. This means
that they now receive the same pay
as officers and men in the United
States army.
A schedule Of the pay rolls shows
that colonel receives SILL a day.
The Northumberland is paid 1912 a
day. The pay per diem for the lesser
officers is as follows: Major, 1888;
captain, $6.67; first lieutenant, $5.56;
second lieutenant, $4.72.
Many of the officers who have as
sumed their positions at Camp Rye
have done so as sacrifice SO far as
their salaries in private life were con-
cerned. A larger proportion, however,
are really receiving more as officers
in the national guard than they made
as civilians
Among the non-commissioned Off
GERS the pay per month is as follows:
Regimental sergeant-major, $45; regi-
mental acknowledgements, $45;
battalion sergeant-major, $45; battal,
ion quartermaster-serg $45; first
sergeant, $45; duty sergeant, $50; cor
poral, $24.
Privates receive SIS month.

IS LONGEST IN THE WORLD
Concrete Highway Trestie in the Sac
ramento Valley Is of Record
Length.

One of the most absorbing exam
phase of concrete construction so far
executed in America is represented by
causeway that spans the Yolo by
pass in the Sacramento valley. The
Popular Mechanics Magazine de-
scribes the construction of this trestle.
1t is thought to be the longest of its
kind in the world and has lately been
completed under the supervision OF
the California state highway commits
sion. Although 3O9 miles from end
to end, and a striking specimen OF
good, accurate workmanship, the ele-
waited roadway was built in thor
oughly substantial manner for less
than $685. 900. Certain phases of the
construction were accomplished by
original methods which have attracted
the attention of engineers.
The unit system was followed In
erected the trestle which is 20 feet in
height and provides roadway p feet
wide. 1t is supported on reinforced
concrete piles, each weighing from
three to five tons, that were driven into
place. The floor consists of precSst
slabs. Four of these were placed side
by side to span the 20-foot gaps be-
tween the bents, the full width of the
structure. The parts were so carefully
designed and put together that the
completed trestle is monolithic struc-
ture.

WIN Town OF FLEURY
BIG GAIN ON THE VERDUN FRONT
ANNOUNCED BY PARIS
WAR OFFICE.
FORT S0UvILLE IS Relieved
Advance at Monacu Farm on the SOM
me Front-BerIn Statement Admits
Enemy Made Important Advance
$50 Prisoners Captured.

London, Aug. 5.-The battle which
has been raging ON the Verdun front
for three days turned in favor Of the
French on Thursday, with the greatest
single victory for their arms chronicled
at that point since the temporary re-
capture of Fort Douaumont nearly two
months ago. AS the result of the
days fighting the entire village Of
Fleury Is again in French hands as
well as the whole system of trenches
from Thiaumont to the village and ex-
tending as far as hill 800. Berlin adj
mitted the advance of the French on
a large portion of this front.
The French victory, which was won
on line from point half a mile
north of Fort Souville northwesterly
to Thiaumont, which lies almost due
north Of Verdun itself, is Of incalcu-
liable value to the French defense. By
the gain the pressure upon Fort Sou
vile is greatly relieved.
The CommuniQue from Paris says:
ION the Somme front there were
no infantry actions during the day.
In the region Of Monacu farm the ar
tillery fighting continues.
ION the right bank Of the Mouse
our infantry, continuing It's offensive
action on the Thiaumont-Fleury front,
during the day, by series of success
sive attacks, captured all the trenches
between these two points as far as
the southeast of Thiaumont work and
to the edge of Hill No. 800. The vii
lage of Fleury, attacked simultane-
ously from the northwest and south
east, has been entirely reoccupied by
our troops after brilliant action.
The number Of prisoners taken in this
action so far counted, is more than
$50. At about the same time as the
Fleury fighting we delivered violent
attack in the region of Chenois which
enabled us to recapture the greater
part of the ground lost on the day be-
fore yesterday"
The German statement says:
'NOrth Of the Somme the fire of
the enemy artillery between the Ancre
and the Somme led us to expect a
decisive attack. Owing to our cur
tain Of fire only temporary fighting
developed In some isolated sections,
however, it was very heavy.
"On both sides of the Albert
Bapaume road and east Of TroneS
wood strong English attacks broke
down.
Between Maurepas and the Somme
river French assaults were repeated
seven times. We were masters Of their
positions after stubborn fighting. The
enemy only succeeded in penetrating
Monacu farm and trench to the north
ward Of that place.
South Of the Somme French adj
vances were repulsed at Barleux and
Estrees.
1.-The enemy obtained a foothold on
the western part of Pepper Ridge
southwest of Fleury and in parts Of
our first line trenches.
"At Thiaumont work, southeast Of
Fleury, the enemy was completely re-
pulsed in the mountain forest, with
heavy losses, after he had temporarily
broken our line"

Chicago, NV. 1G.-Apparently un-
founded assertions that President Will

foodstuffs did a good deal today to
weaken the price OF wheat. Closing
quotations were heavy at 1c to 2Ac

DeniaIs, said to be from the White
House that the president would favor
an embargo on wheat, came too late
to act as check on the bears today.
Besides, the fact that British buyers
seem to be out of the market and had
done in the last few Sys counted ser
iously against the bulls, and SO also
did rumors that much British tonnage
had been switched ~ Australia and to
India. In this connection, stress was
laid on announce that the Indian
government, had sanctioned exporting
to France and England in November
December and January 13,000,00O bu
, shells of wheat The result avs thai
an early bulge in prices was much
more than Offset especially toward the
last OF the session, when the embargo
talk was rife.
