local capital. has on exhibit on the second floor of the Woolworth build !ng. a model of it's brake. which was invented by w. G. Canion, and two other patented inventions which ap- pear to be of much promise and are certainly of great interest.
 The secret of the Capion air brake lies in what is called the Canion con vertible ball-bearing tripel valve. It is claimed for this valve that it is one that can be changed by the brake man to properly meet the conditions found in braking any length of trains on all railroad grades. With the valve set from the ground by the brakeman before the train leaves the terminal the engineer eau brake train so equipped on the steepest hill without having to call the brakeman from the caboose.
 The recharging feature is designed to make it possible for the engineer to make an application of the brakes. hold the same. build up his train line pressure as high as neces- sary, and by repititions make as many additional applications as IS found necessary in order to bring the train under perfect control. This IS an exclusive feature of the Canion brake. of inestimable value in that It means the removal of brakemen from the top of running trains, saw ing of time and safer negotiation ot heavy grades.
 The elimination of the "dynamit- CT" or bad order triple, is said to be accomplished by the construction of the valve, which is such as to make it practically impossible for it to fail to function at the proper time.
 The company declares that the value can be manufactured at less cost than the standard type; that it is interchangeable with the standard triple and that the cost of installing is made less as it can be attached to present standard auxiliary and cyl inder; also through the elimination of the overhead retaining valve and 7sHs connecting pipe.
 -AAnother argument in favor of the
 Aion brake is that where 60 per . of the brake cylinder pressure < that is retained as a holding A, t while the train is recharging standard type, with the Can
 p the cylinders can be made
 from 96 per cent down, as '. Eineer desires With a train % --e A with the Canion valve it is M krous to leave a station or s-ft m a grade without full .. sf air. but it is extremely ~s to do this with a train
 with standard valves.

 en. is a cigar banding machine, "a latents on which the Canion ,any has purchased. This ma 4-' . also appears to have great
 ,mercial possibilities, as practi-
 4y all cigars are banded by hand. - .fie only machine on the market to- day that does this work is large and ~ cumbersome and so expensive that only the big manufacturers can af- ford to use them.
 The machine that is demonstrated by the Canion company is small and compact and is run by an electric motor of a fraction of one horse power. The machine is almost hum- an in operation, taking bands from
 trn1D Dr springs on a circular plate, reaching out delft fingers for cigars that are automatically supplied, wrapping and pasting the band securely in the proper place and depositing the cig ars in row ready for packing. Nc hands are needed other than to sup ply the cigars the bands being au tomatically fed from a magazine.
 The average girl worker in a cigar factory can band 5000 cigars day while the machine can band 60 min ute or 36,OO0 a day. It can be read fly adjusted to handle any size ol shape of cigars According to off cers of the company, cigar manufac turers are ready to take large mum bers of the machine as soon as tn, company is ready to place them oi the market.
 The third invention which tn company holds is the Canion easy de mountable rim for automobiles. Tn value of this rim is apparent at glance to any motorist. It is simila in appearance to any demountabl rim, except that it is in two parts one part to fit each side of the tire The big advantage of the rim is tha in changing a tire the rim is removes from the tire. rather than the tir from the rim Frequently injurin both rim and tireD but the two halve of the rim may be easily slipped fror either side of the tire without an prying or hammering.
