Beads for insulation.

In certain installations, such as
radio equipement, arc lamp wiring and
laboratory apparatus, 1t is often nee
essary to resort to beads for insular-
ing bare wires. Heretofore, says the
Scientific American, the beads have
been Of a plain design, with rounded
ends, resulting In a rigid covering
which prevented the covered wire
from being bent as desired. or left
barred sections of the wire between
the beads because fewer beads had
to be strung In order to allow for
bending.
An English concern has recently
introduced a new type Of bead which
is rounded at one end and followed
out at the other, thus permitting OF
one bead fitting into the hollow Of
the next bead. These beads permit
Of covering a wire for It's full length,
yet do not interfere with the bending
Of said wire.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Letter and q Proposal.

The Moreland Coal company's two
big rough buildings were completed
In record time. There had been no
further manifestations Of interference
from the Balls and Torreys, and Hen
dersOn Golf had been nowhere In evil
dence since the night Of Bill Dale's
ironclad verbal ultimatum. Work on
the little railroad was progressing like
wildfire, and everybody was In high
spirits.
By Heck had Just arrived with the
mail. He stalked with an air of great
Importance into Dale's office, and
threw the mail down on the new roll
top desk; then he stepped backward,
dropped into q straight-back chair and
began to nurse his rifle tenderly on
his knees. There vas q puzzled look
on his leathery face. Dale had re-
ceived half a dozen letters, and BY
Heck vas at q loss to figure out the
why Of such an overwhelming amount
of mail.
Dale finished his figuring. leaned
back In his swivel chair and took up
a letter that seemed altogether too
bulky for a business letter. More
over, It's address was In pencil, and
somewhat scrawled, though a chirog-
raphy expert would have said that
the handwriting showed strength Of
character.
II wonder who IT Is" Dale muttered,
that mistakes is for a newspaper
office and Is sending us copyY'
"Jest what / was a-thinkih',"
drawled BY Heck through his Niagara
Falls mustache. "Open her up, Bill /;
mebbe It's money, by jake"
Dale saw the pOstmark then, and
his brows drew with interest. 1t was
the postmark Of his old home city.
"From Babe" he told himself-and
II was.
He opened II and read II. She had
spelled most Of her words correctly.
