American Solves Pump Problem
Perfects Device to Raise Water From One Level to
Another at Low Cost.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
Raising water from one level to a
higher level at the minimum cost and
greatest efficiency has been problem
of the ages. Now il is said that it has
been solved by an invention shortly to
be tested in Washington.
Thomas Gaskell Allen, an American
by birth and a graduate of an Amer
lean university, is the inventor Mr..
Allen is now a British subject and
lives in London where he is the head
of a firm of engineers, but if his in
vention, which he calls the hydrauto-
mat-the water elf-raiser-proves to
be all that is claimed for it, England
will not be permitted to claim entire
credit for him and his accomplishment
Sir Oliver Lodge has investigated
the hydrautomat and prepared a long
technical report in which he ranks the
device as one of the greatest inven-
tons the world has ever known and
expresses his amazement that it was
not hit upon centuries ago.
When the news of the marvel first
reached this country, official represen-
tatives in London were instructed to
look into it, and upon the reports
made to Washington the Bureau of
Weights and Measures proceeded to
build working model here. Mr.. Allen
recently conferred with government Of
ficials and will return in a short time
when the tests are to be made. Mean
while another experimental model has
been installed in a New York office
building and is said to be operating
successfully.
Briefly described the hydrautomat
is device that raises water to any
desired height automatically, the water
itself furnishing the power Once in
stalled it will continue to function
steadily without interruption and with
out any attention until it wears out.
That sounds like perpetual motion,
problem that has never been solved
although inventors have worked at it
for centuries with so little success that
whenever one comes forward with the
claim that at last he has made the
great discovery he is looked upon as a
candidate for the booby-hatch. But the
International is perpetual motion, it is
said, insofar as it will continue to
operate as long as the flow of water
continues and the machine holds to-
gether.
Moreover, it will work efficiently
when the flow of water is so slight
that it could not be utilized in any
other way. Also it may be construct
ed on small scale adaptable to the
requirements of farmer who would
use it on a small creek to raise water
for irrigating purposes and to develop
power to run his machinery and light
ing plant, or it may be built on a scale

A strict enforcement of the curfew
law was being made in this city and
all youngsters violating the law were
sent home by the police. This law
cannot be rightly enforced by the DO
lice without the cooperation of the
parents of the children, though it is
one of the best laws ever passed by

MOS VALUABLE OF DEMENT'S
Is Highly Esteemed as
Building Material.

Portland cement is considered by
far the most important of the stone
cements 1t is an artificial product,
named from It's resemblance to Port
land stone. This stone is a freestone
quarried in the Isle of Portland Ca
peninsula supposed to have been for
merly an island), in the county of
Dorset, England. The stone hardens
upon exposure to the air, remarks an

In the manufacture of Portland ce-

along with the water, are placed in
'swash MILL" in which cutters reduce
the whole to creamy "slurry" The
slurry then passes into reservoirs.
There it is allowed to settle for some
weeks, when the superduous water is
removed by decantation The mixture
is next dried on heated iron plates
and then burned In kilns Finally it
is ground to fine powder. Portland
cement is manufactured by the dry
process from hard nmestones. These
limestones are crushed small, mixed
In the proper proportions with clay,
then roughly burned and ground to
powder. Since Portland cement is
hardly ever employed pure, It's strength
is perhaps best tested when It is
mixed with an equal weight of sand.

The Golden Opportunity.

1t is with considerable satisfaction
that many who for some time have be-
lieved that the manufacturers of cigars
who were playing waiting game to
buy their supply in the ''lowest" mar
ket may rue their caution and be oblig-
ed to buy in higher" market, have
read the article in the U. S. Tobacco
Journal of January 7th, entitled The
Time to Buy Is Now" Let US quote:
1t has long been an axiom in the to-
bacco industry that the manufacturer
never buys at the bottom of the mar
ket. and the history of previous crises
in the tobacco industry seems to con-
firm this belief. Whenever there is a
downward movement of prices, the
BUYERS apparently feel that by waiting
they will always get better bargain,
and they usually overstay the decline,
and then buy, perhaps amid strong
competition, when the price movement
has headed upward again.
There are signs that this very thing
is about to happen again. While llqulda-
ton has been rather uneven In the mat
ter of cigar leaf tobaccos, and some
types may be selling higher now than
they will in six months, it is also prob
able that some grades and types are
cheaper now than they will be later.
The point that ought to be driven
home in every factory and store in the
land is that prices are now sufficiently
stable for every manufactures and mer-
chant to buy to meet his reasonable re-
quirements. Any price recessions vii
be moderate. and in all likelihood viii
be offset by price increases. The
manufacturer who fails to provide fol
a rational and reasonable course of bus
mess during the next year is deliber
ately bandicapping himself in the race
for commercial success.

To THE mind not initiated into the
ways of doing things in high political
councils, the action of the u. S. senate
in seating Mr.. Mewberry of Michigan
is most difficult to understand. To the
average man upon the street the aug
ust body has by this act defended and
indicated something in one of its mem
bers that savors of corruption. If Mr..
Newberry did not know how his cam
paign was conducted, and by what
means, he is hardly fit to be the guard
ian of the welfare of this nation; if he
knew it, and approved it, his apprecia-
ton of what is fair and just in the DO
litical arena is so blunted as to make
him poor risk in the high position he
is to fill The senators who voted to
seat him have put their O. K. on his
political methods, in spite of resolutions
passed condemning like practices in
other men, if they should attempt it.
Will the constituencies of these same
senators also put their o. X. on them
at the next election?
