FIRE AT BELLOWS FALLS.
1000 Damage Done in Blaze in Auto
mobile Repair Shop.

BELLOWS FALLS, Aug. PA fire
occurred here last night in the machine
shop of Fifeld' S automobile repair shop
which resulted in over $4,000 damage.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but
one of the employees claims that the
probable cause was the vulcanizer,
which was in operation at the time the
firemen arrived. The blaze was at first
hard to control and the surrounding
houses were threatened. Machinery
was destroyed but all the automobiles
in the building were saved.

Tests Of a Good Thermometer.

In order to ascertain whether a
thermometer is correct or not, 1t Is
first plunged into melting ice and then
into boiling water; the level of the
mercury should indicate upon the
scale exactly 80. degrees and 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit. When inverted the
mercury should fall with sudden
click and fill the tube, thus showing
the perfect exclusion of air.

AUSTRIA WILL REMAIN
 TRUE TO GERMANY FOR
 EVER, GENERAL CLAIMS

KEMPTEN, Bavaria, July 3l- England'S late King, Edward VIII, once tried to persuade Emperor Franz Joseph, of Austria, to break away from Germany says Gen. Con- rad Von Hoetzendolff, former com mander in chief of the Austrian army. The General declared in a speech here the other day that the fidelity of Franz Joseph to the Ger man-Austrian alliance was often Qucs- toned, but in spite of many tcmpta- tions, he had remained faithful to the pact.
 "Fiftcen years ago." he went on, "whcn I had just become chief of the general staff, the Emperor re- marked to me in his peculiar way: Do you know that King Edward has been visiting me at lschl and ear nestly trying to wean me away from our alliance with Germany? But refused.
 "The Emperor saw the war danger coming but he kept true to the alli- ancc, whose spirit still lives in our nations. What has existed for more han 30 years in peace and war, will never die out. Such country as Germany can never perish, and Aus tria will always stand by her side."

Chicago, March l5.-Hog prices
tumbled today under pressure OF
heavy receipts, the run being the
largest in recent weeks. The esti-
mate was $4,000 head, and prices
we're unevenly lower, ranging from
10 to S5 cents per hundred. Bulk sold
far undsr the extreme top, which was
$500, the range for most being

vious week. si.20 lower than year
ago, $3.50 lower than two years
aro, $500 higher than nine years

The estimated average weight OF
hogs last week was heaviest since

The average price Of good peer
steers last week was $3.50, the
same as week before. While average
seemed out of line in view OF the
downward course of steers prices
last week it is explained by fact that
the week before the market started at
the low time and worked higher
while last week the market opened
strong and worked lower. Also the
run included a more liberal proper
ton of good kinds. The average OF
