: LOCATING LOST PIPES.

Locating lost or hidden water
pipes is the function of newly pat
ented device which promises to be a
friend to the plumber and to the
municipality which has to repair its
water pipes. The new machine is
expected to prove useful by cutting
the amount of digging necessary to
locating a leaky pipe down to a min
imum-a very useful quality where
paving has to be torn up. Such
device is also badly needed where a
leak must be found quickly to pre-
vent flooding. The detective is an
electric one, consisting Of two con-
Meeting wires and a microphone
worn by the man operating it. The
connections are fastened to the near
est terminals Of the pipe, and by
listening in the microphone the OPP
orator can tell when he is directly
over the hidden section.

OXYGEN DRAWN BY ALUMINIUM
One Never Sees the Metal In Air Ex'
cept Through Veil Of Superficial
Oxide, II ls Said.

Aluminium is in many ways a won
derful substance, albeit in the natu-
raj world most Of it is oxidized and
turned to clay. It's avidity for oxy-
gen is one of its most salient charac-
teristics. It is said that one never
sees the metal, directly, in air, but
always and only through a veil OF
superficial oxide which forms on its
free surface with marvellous rapidly.
It is stated that if fresh surface
of aluminium be prepared by scrap
ing with knife the oxygen OF the
air runs in as fast as the scale is
peeled off and keeps close behind
the knifeblade.
If it were not for this superficial
scale Of oxide, which acts as a bar.
rier to further action, the meta
would burn up, or deAagrate, in air
The large amount Of heat developed
BY thermit, mixture Of powdered
aluminium with oxygen-giving sub
stances, bears witness to the activit,
Of the oxidizing process when com

POETS AND SINGERS NEEDED
Famous Writer Declares Races Of Ar
lists Have Also Been the Greatest
In Material Activities.

Hamilton Wright Mabie, perhaps
the leading man Of letters in Amer
lea in recent years, who died recent
ly, used to say, "There ought to be
at least one poet to every hundred
captains Of industry, one singer to
every hundred thousand workmen.
at is a great mistake to imagine
that the races which produce the
poets and artists are the races that
dream and do not act. On the con-
trary, the executive races have also
been the artistic races. The Greek
was not only the first artist among
ancient people, but he was also the
successful rival Of the Phenician,
who was the greatest trader OF his
time.
"All material activities and accu-
mutations of every sort are subjects
for the poet, and no materials or
accumulations fulfill their highest
ends until they have been trans
formed into poetry"

QUEEN HAD STORMY CAREER
LlIluokaIani, Last Native Ruler Of ha'
wall, Was Dethroned Two Years
After Succeeding to Power.

Lydia Kamekeha, Queen Liliuo-
kalani, the last native ruler OF Ha-
waii, was proclaimed queen in Janu-
ary, 1891, and two years later, on
January 16, 1893, she was \ de-
throned. She was born in 1888, and
succeeded to the throne on the death
Of her brother, the wild and dissipat-
ed King Kalakaua. 1t soon became
apparent that the feminine monarch
of the "Pearl of the Pacific" was re-
dictionary in her tendencies. Al
though she had taken as her spouse
an American, John o. Dominis, q
native Of Boston, she was not
friendly toward Americans, and not
at all in sympathy with the progress
sive reform party, which had been
successful in the revolution Of 1887.
The queens husband died few
months after she gained the throne,
and soon after that the queen be-
came more than ever reactionary. 1t
soon was apparent that she proposed
to abolish the liberal constitution
Of 1887 and to restore the old des-
potic regime Of absolute monarchy.
A committee Of safety was formed,
and the day after she had proclaimed
q new constitution in the direction OF
absolute power she was dethroned
and a republic formed. In January,
1895, a royalist rebellion fomented
by the ex-queen was foiled, and she
was sentenced to modified imprison-
ment for five years, but, upon PEN
ming a remuneration Of the throne,
she was released.

War Savings.

"War Savings Stamps mark

Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
AdUO.
Many a successful business
man has said that the SAVING I, 1
his first dollar was the most
important single act of his life;
that 1t marked the beginning OF
q habit and a course of conduct
to which he attributed b 8
success.
Something very analogous to
this, 1t Is believed, Is gong TO oe
the effect OH theAmerican Nation
OF the war Savings campaign.
Not only are millions of individual
citizens gong TO begin to save,
but this habit of economy and
SAVING Is gong to be collective
movement, q movement not OF
individuals alone but Of the Ma
tion.
The habit OF saving form, d
now has deeper incentive than
ordinary. We are saving now
not alone fer selfish reasons, we
are saving now from patriotism,
saving not alone for ourselves
but for our country. The com
oination OF patriotism and thrift
IS, indeed, gong to make the
War Savings campaign en- epoch

only going to be a thing OF tre-
mendous benefit TO millions OF
citizens. 1t Is going to be q
