Waterepouts.

A waterspout is miniature tornado
originating In strong upward draft Of
air which occurs above the surface Of
body Of comparatively warm water
Its effect first becomes visible In a
circular motion at the point of the
cloud to which 1t ascends. This be-
comes a whirl, which condenses the
vapor at Its center, causing the portion
of the cloud there to drop downward
in the shape of a gigantic jelly bag. At
the same time the continuing upward
draft increases the rapidity of its orig
inal swirl and the condensed vapor
caught within it until the ascending
and descending masses join to form the
waterspout. Necessarily by this pro-
cess the air beneath the spout Is rare
fed, and thus where the phenomenon
occurs at sea the water always seems
to be sucked up into it. although this Is
not really the case to any considerable
extent.

Gold In carats.

We often hear people in speaking OF
their watches say, ut is an Is carat
case" Others speak Of IA carat watch
es or 20 carat or solid gold rings. When
you see the marks on watch case or
the inside of gold ring they read Is K.
or IA K, or whatever number of carats
the maker wishes to indicate. A piece
of gold jewelry marked Is X, or 10
carats, means that it is three-fourths
pure gold. In arranging this basis Of
marking things made Of gold abso-
lutely pure gold is called "a carats.
Then if two, six or ten twenty -fourths
of alloy has been added the amount of
the alloy is deducted from twenty
four, and the result is either %, IS or
IA carats fine, and so on. On Ordinary
articles made by jewelers. the amount
OF pure gold used is seldom over ID
carats, or three-fourths. Wedding rings
land these are considered solid gold
are generally made % carats fine
that is, there are only two twenty
fourths parts Of alloy in them.

Film picture Freaks.


Freak pictures are usually the result
of clever manipulation of the camera
or the Aim. Articles or individuals can
be made to instantly disappear by stop
ping the camera while the article il
removed or the person walks of the
stage, the other characters holding
their pose until the camera is again
put In motion. In some films in which
p person Is thrown from height or
is apparently crushed under a steam
roller the effect is gained by the live
person walking away after the camera
is stopped and dummy substituted to
undergo the death penalty.
BY projecting the picture at faster
rate than 1t was taken excruciating
comic scenes are sometimes devised.
An automobile going ten miles an hour
by speeding up the projection machine
may be made to apparently move at
100 miles an hour, and by increasing
the same way the apparent speed Of
persons lodging the demoniac auto ex-
ceedingly ludicrous effects are had.
BY mechanical means in combining
two or more negatives into one posi-
tive man can be shown fencing with
himself or even cutting his own head

Trees Planted By Machine.

A machine which plants from 10
to 15 thousand forest tree seedlings
a day is now being used at the
Letchworth Park Forest and Arbore-
ton, in Wyoming County, N. Y, ac-
scordinge to officials of the Forest Ser
vice who are acting as advisers in
the work. Previously the planting
has been done by hand at the rate
of 1900 to 1900 trees each day per
man.
The machine was designed to set
out cabbage and tomato plants, but
works equally well with trees. 1t
is about the size of an ordinary
moving machine and is operated by
three men and two horses. One
man drives the team while the
other two handle the seedlings.
The, machine makes a furrow in
which the trees are set at any de-
sired distance, and an automatic
divice indicates. where they should
be dropped. Two metaI-tired wheels
push and roll the dirt firmly down
around the roots. This is a very
desirable feature, it is said, because
the trees are apt to die If this is not
well done. Two attachments make
it possible TO place water and fertl-
lizer at the roots Of each Seeding.
Another attachment marks the line
on which the next row of trees Is to
be planted.
No cost figures are available yet.
but officials say that the cost will be
much less than when the planting is
done by hand. 1t is stated that the
machine can be used on any land
which has been cleared and is not
too rough to pillow and harrow.

The Republican National Con,

The Republican National Con-
vention, in session at Chicago, on
Saturday, nominated Justice Chas.
E. Hughes, Of New York, as their
Presidential standard bearer, on
the third ballot, after the Favorite
Sons had been given complimentary
votes. The preliminary votes plain.
~ showed Hughes the choice OF the
convention, which was composed of
what has been styled "hand pick
ed" delegates, dominated by the
Old Guard.
Charles Warner Fairbanks, of
Indiana, was nominated for Vice
President. Mr.. Fairbanks was
elected Vice. President by the Re-
publicans in 1904, when Theodore
Roosevelt was chosen President.
The Progressive party, in session
at the same time in Chicago, made
desperate efforts to- have the Re
publicans agree to a compromise
candidate, who would be accept
able to them, but the Old Line Re-
publicans would have none of it.
The peace conference between
the parties failing to bear fruit, the
Progressives nominated their idol,
Theodore Roosevelt, with whoop.
John M. Parker, of Louisiana, was
named as running mate for Mr..
Roosevelt, by the Progressives.
But the Progressives received a
bad jolt just before adjournment,
and it looks like Teddy has thrown
up his hands, as he sent a telegram
to the convention declining the
nomination Professionally, hence
the third party is very much at
sea, and Roosevelt is now being as
harshly criticised by his followers
as he was enthusiastically praised
before the convention.
Interest now centers in the Dem.
ocratic convention, after which the
campaign fireworks will be set off.

Tn Eliminating on the Republica,

In Illuminating on the Republican
convention, and national politicaI
conventions in general, one writer
gives expression to the following:
"a national convention-any
national convention represents
more wasted energy, more futile,
bootless endeavor, more useless ex.
penditure of noise, money and
talent than any other institution
on earth.

bly, laborious machine, which

ceives no one, not even the men
who create this buncombe and this
claptrap.
cat the last, when the shouters
have grown weary, and the lesser
bOoms, being punctured, have lost
the only thing they ever contained
which is wind-the real leaders

might have done much earlier, ex-
cept for the beliefs among them
that the fetish of tradition must be
coddled, and the Convention, obey
ing an ancient precedent, must be
permitted to drag out to a foregone
conclusion, which, twice out Of
three times, was foregone from the
start.
s'Nobody is fooled except the per-
sons who wish to be fooled, and

the so called deliberative body will
do exactly what has been ordained
for it by the real controlling
powers. Some of these days, so ne

LAND LOST By FENCING.
Space Occupied BY Various Types OF
Farm Fences Should Be

Considered.
The amount of land that is lost to
cultivation along fence rows isl
matter of Importance, especially
where the land is high priced.
Hence it is well, in selecting type
of farm fencing, to give considera-
tion to the space thas the fence will
occupy.
Should the fence run between two
pasture fields, practically no land
would be lost, but when it divides
two cultivated fields the width of the
strip of land made untillable is
doubled.
When forage or small-grain crop
is grown, less land is lost along the
fence row than when corn, potatoes,
or some other cultivated crop is
grown, for much land is taken for
turning along the fence row with
the latter.
Local practices also influence the
amount of land along the fence row
which is not cultivated. Thus, in
certain parts of Iowa and adjacent
States, it is not uncommon for
farmer to leave headland 10 to IL
feet in width along his fences;
these are used for driveways. In
many localities of the East it is the
practice to use one horse to plow
along the fence row in order to get
as close to it as possible.
Wire, board, and picket fences
take up but a little over feet on
side, while worm-rail fences occupy
double this amount of land. The
amount of land that the hedge fence
renders useless for cultivation will
depend upon the size of the hedge.
If it is left untrimmed it will sap the
fertility of the soil for more than a
rod on each side of it; if it is kept
well trimmed it occupies nearly
double the amount of land taken by
a wire fence. If the season is dry,
a hedge does much more damage
than when there is plenty of rainfall,
as its root system extends out to
considerable distance and takes up
moisture that is needed by the crops
in the adjacent fields.

Words.

Words.
Words are used for various purposes
Ito evade issues, to put people to
sleep, to break up homes, to present
literature and to conceal ideas. Moth
ing exceeds like words.
Words are used In speeches, debates
and stories. Massed in serried groups
in newspapers and text books they pre-
vent people from learning anything.
Last words are most effective and are
employed exclusively by women and
prominent citizens who are dying.
Words are nothing in themselves, but
only In their relationship to other
words. It is the system Of putting
them together that counts. Most words
are like unorganized militia. In war
the mortality among them is fearful.
They never win battles. When words
are found in regular army style, how
ever, disciplined and experienced, they
are likely to be invincible.-Judge.

ALL NATIONAL
 GUARD UNITS
 TO THE BORDER
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12-All the national guard units included in Presi- dent Wilson's call of June IS. not yet on the Mexican border. were ordered there today by the war department.
 Between 20,000 and 25,000 additional troops will thus be added to the bor- der forces. National guards forces there win number approximately l25.- 0u0 and the total Of all troops on the border or in Mexico will be 175.00o.
 Secretary Baker made a formal an- nouncement that the troop movement had nothing whatever to do with the Mexican situation as such. and was solely to relieve the thousands of troops now held in mobilization camps only becs use they lack few recruits to bring units up to fixed minimum strength
 Todays order sends troops from Kentucky. Ohio and Vermont to the border as soon as transportation can be arranged for them and will move all tte others as soon as they are properly equipped.
 The war department officials de- cided on their action because the troops are restive in camp and there seems to be no stimulus to recruiting while there was no prospect of move ment to the border They now ex- pect that most of the regiments will be filled before the troops leave. The Kentucky. Ohio and Vermont troops which will move practically at once will add the following units to
 the long border line:
 Kentucky. one brigade of three regi-
 ments of infantry. one company signal
 corps one field hospital and one am l bulanee company, mobilized at Fort | Thomas.
 Ohio two brigades of three regi mcnts each of infantry. one squadron | of cavalry. one battalion field artil- lery, one battalion engineers, one battalion signal corps, three field | hospitals, two ambulance companies 1 all mobilized at Columbus. Vermont one regiment infantry and

FL PASO, Texas, Aug, 12.-An undercurrent of unrest is manifesting itself in various cities in Chihuahua, according to reports here tonight. These reports emanatng from several apparently reliable sources. indicated that there has been no concerted movement anywhere in the state to overthrow the de facto government, but that numbers of agitators ap- parently under no central organization have been attempting to foment a revolution.
 The revolutionary plots, which ap- parently have been developed within the last few weeks have centerd in Chihuahua City and Juarez, although according to private dispatches per sons charged with being connected with revolutionary cabals have been taken into custody in Parral Jiminez, and other of the smaller cities.
 In the state capital upwards of one hundred men of prominence, all of whom have been connected with the Villa. the Madero the Orozco and others Of the various political factions have been arrested on a charge of at tempting to seize the city and are now awaiting trial for treason. In JuareZ today orders were issued that all persons in the Mexican town across the border other than the military. the customs and municipa, authorities must surrender their arms before eight o'clock tonight, because of the presence of persons attempting to incite revolt Hundreds of wea- pOns were collected.
 It was generally believed tonight | that the 1900 troops recently brought | to Juarez and the recent arrival there | of General Gabriel Gavira, inspector general of the CarranZa army anC General Jose Gutierrez, military di- | rector of the Mexican national rail way, was a result of the various re- | bellious plots and counter plots re- gently unearthed.
