would be acceptable to the allies, but

A PHILADELPHIA Idea.

Music and cleaning the parlor have
never been very closely associated.
When the housewife wants to play the
piano she generally waits until she
has cleaned the parlor, taken bath
and dressed herself in party clothes.
Now a Philadelphia has patented
dust-hltering attachment which can be
attached to the player-piano, and the
ordinary housewife can now seat her
self at the player-pianO, obtain music
via the keys, work the pedals for all
she is worth and, with her child to
run the vacuum cleaner about the
floor, she can have it clean in a jiffy.
The bellows of the player are attached
to the vacuum cleaner by means of
Il special pipe, and in this manner the
needed vacuum is created for cleaning
purposes.

"SKY LINE" LOGGING LATEST
Modern Methods of Western Camps
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of Oregon and
Washington a skyline" method of log
ging is proving much cheaper and more
efficient than the former method Of
dragging out logs from the forest by
a donkey engine and cables operating
on the ground, says Popular Mechan-
fcs Magazine. The skyline plan is TO
run a cable through blocks or pulleys
suspended at a great height on giant
trees. so as to form a sort of trolley
line by which the logs are hOisted into
the air and then hauled over the tops
of ordinary trees and other Obstruc-
lions to the roIlway, where they are
loaded aboard freight cars for ship
ment.
The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for "trip
lines. The top cable, from which the
log is suspended, is one of the main
lines. while the other is used TO haul
the log. In operation the top cable
is lowered with it's block, or trolley,
directly over the log to be picked up;
it is then pulled taut, raising the log
with it by means of a "choker," or
steel tongs. In the air log can, of
course, be moved much faster than on
the ground.
