Discussing what constitutes an

This holds out hope to the young
people struggling upward in the
world to-day. They can educate
themselves, No better and more con-
else fund of information is held out
to men and women, boys and girls
to-day than the New Universities

readers of this paper, This diction-
airy condenseS in one volume most of
the information concerning the
worlds present-day activities. 1t Is
moro than a vocabulary, more than
a mere list of words-it is a COM
plete inventory of to-day's English.
This papers offer of this remark
able book has proven to be highly
popular. The demand for the die
tionary continues with increasing
force. Already new supplies have
been ordered, and the publishers say
they have equal demands from other
cities, making 1t hard for them to

Quebec Bridge in Place
After Two Disasters

Quebec. Sept. 21. - The central
span of the Quebec cantilever bridge
was successfully bolted into place
yesterday afternoon at 3:2S O'clock
linking together the arms of the
largest bridge Of its kind in the
world.
The hosting operation began last
Monday morning, and the span, which
weighs 5000 tons, was lifted by hy-
draulic packs a distance of $50 feet
from pontoons on the st. Lawrence
river
Yesterdays work brought to an end
the critical part of the operation, Vir-
tually completing the structural part
of the bridge. An effort last year to
raise a similar span in place resulted
in disaster when the link slipped from
its supports, causing fourteen deaths,
and in 1907 n bridge in the same place
collapsed when it was virtually COM
plete, killing seventy.
The successful completion of the
bridge will mean the fulfillment of a
hfty-year engineering dream. 1t will
he some months before trains can be
run over the structure, as there is
much detail work to be carried out
The running time between Halifax
and Winnipeg then will be reduced
half day. One detail is the paint
ing of the bridge, which, it is esti-
mated. Will take three years and cost
$4,000.

Caught A Cold
And 1t Hung On
Couldn't Seem to Shake II but Tan
lac Quickly Chased It-Feels
Fine Now

Harry Buxton, the well-known
barber at the Royal Shop, 12 North
Third street, Harrisburg, Pa, caught
cold. A nasty nagging cold. The
kind that gets a grip on a man and
makes him feel as if life wasn't
worth living and everything was a
burden and try as he would he
couldn't get rid of it.
He says: II woke up one morn
ing and found that had a humding-
er of cold. 1t had me for fair. I felt
as If l had been beaten up and l
didn't care a whoop which team

the usual way but old Mr.. Cold he
hung righ on and refused to bulge.
Il did everything / could to chase
him, but nothing doing, he stayed
right on the job morning, noon and
night, and he got me worried. 1 was
FEELING pretty mean and just a bit
worried.
Then I happened to hear about
Tanlac and thinks I, I'll give it a
trial. maybe it will do the trick. And

NEW AUTOMATIC LIGHT BUOY
MAKES OWN ELECTRICITY

Because an automatic light buoy
designed by an inventor of marine
apparatus produces its own electric
current and demands only casual at
tention, the cost of maintaining it
amounts to practically nothing. It's
mechanism is not complicated. A
vertical shaft mounted on ball bear
ings is actuated by weighted hori-
zontal arm that swings back and
forth when the buoy is rocked by
the waves. The motion is trans
mitted through gears to a high-ten-
sion magnetic. Each time the weight
swings either to the left or the right
the generator makes a few quick
turns and develops Il strong spark
that passes through a gas-filled glass
tube and produces a bright flash of
light. obviously the strength and
frequency of the flashes increase as
the sea grows rougher. The pris-
matte outer cylinder of the lamp is
red, blue or any desired color. There
is no filament in the gas-filled tube.

WORLDS TALLEST CHIMNEY
COMpIETED IN JAPAN

In many cities in various lands are
chimneys which have been pro-
claimed as 'the tallest in the world"
but the structure which, without
doubt, truly possesses this title has
recently been completed in Sago-
noseki, Japan. 1t is of reinforced
concrete and stands $40 feet high,
on a hill 430 feet higher than the
copper snelter with which it is con-
nected, so that it discharges its poi
sonous fumes 1000 feet above the
plant The chimney is AZ feet in
diameter at the base and its inside
diameter at the top is 26A feet.
The foundation is 95 feet in diameter
and contains 2,700 cubic yards of
concrete. The first $50 feet of the
chimney has concrete lining sepa-
rated from the outer wall by 5-inch
air space. Four hundred tons of
steel were used in the whole con-
Struction. Popular Mechanics Maya
zine shows the comparative height of
the Woolworth building with this
huge structure.

THE WATER WAGON.

We are writing now about the
water wagon, not the n you fell
off of when you got your last gallon
a-month, but the one which uses up
and down Main street.
Someone asked the other day why
this water wagon eve came up
Greenville street, stating that he
{supposed that water was not popular
On our street, or that we believed in
immersion on this street and not in
sprinkling, or that we did not allow
any laboring men on this street, and
therefore, the driver was afraid to
venture up it.
The gentleman is mistaken. There
are four reasons why the water wa
gon does not come up this street:
First: There are not many voters
on this street and when they vote
they try to vote for good men.
Second: There is only one side
walk on this street. The driver of
the water wagon follows the sidewalk
on one side of the street when going
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1917-06-13

and the sidewalk on the other side
when returning, and if he came up
u street, he would never be able
to find his way back.
Third: The members of the city
council thought it best not to spill
any water on our street until they
got water in the mains through the
new iron pipe which has just been
bought at the highest price ever, in
order we suppose to show the people
who are selling pipe that we have
confidence in the country, if not
business judgment about buying
pipe.
Fourth: One of the tomatoes
which the city is having raised at
the power house in that great big
tomato box, for the purpose of feed
ing the monkeys, might get into the
water mains and get loose on our
streets, and be eaten up by our Cos
ling, thereby causing the monkeys
to miss their breakfast.
