tachment and was the forerunner in the development of printing and folding en- .yelope machines-in fact the object les son to Horace J. Wickham and Edward Pittman in inventing the machines which some sixteen years later they brought out and which were used for so many years by the United States Stamped En- velope Works, at Hartford. Conn.
 F.. While building these machines in Newark, N J., for Geo. F. Nesbitt & Co, MT. Aliens mechanical mind had been at work and when this job was fn- ished he returned to Norwich and worked cd at his trade as machinist, but his mind was on another envelope-folding machine.
 In se5 or 1sss he organized the Allen Mfg. Co, to manufacture the new Allen Rotary Envelope machines for their own use. as they intended to embark in the manufacture of envelopes (Alr Allen. John Turner and Gen. W. c. Ely. being the. partners in the ehterprise)
 This new envelope machine was vs the rotary principle and comparatively few machines were sold on the market ! in fact, few were ever built.
 Daniel NJ. Lester (afterwsrds Of Les 1 ter 6 Wssley) then a young man, work ed as mechanic with Mir Allen in the construction of these machines. 1 One of the Allen Mfg. Co.'S old cut 1 ters, Mfr. s. IT. Mead, who died Dec 12. i 1917, could remember little about the machines except that they were built on | the rotary principle with several plung-
 CTS and were always out of order told | envelope operators will at once recognize l this ancient machine as being of the true lineage of real envelope machine 1 Mfr Allen spent some years perfect ] ing his rotary folder and rotory printing press. and on July 1. 1868, he sent one ffo each to England for demonstration purposes. It was not, however, success and finally the machines were returned and broken up.
 Late in 1873, the affairs of the Allen Laffg. Co. not being in a prosperous con- dition, they made assignment to Holmes
 & Elyswho, in turn, on Feb. IS, 1874, sold ithe plant and equipment to Lester & 1 Wasley, a new firm organized by two young mechanics who had been in the Eemploy of the Allen fig. Co. since 1867, and who were giving evidence of mechan- ical ability.
 Daniel NJ Lester was born in Norwich, Conn, June II, 1S43. In early life he lived in Patchaug, Conn, but returned to Norwich about 1882 and worked at his trade as machinist for Wllloughby & Crowe-4sS until he began work with the All enNfg. Co. He died in Norwich Conn, July II 1910, aged 67 years. Mir. Lester represented his district in the tConnecticut legislature in 1887 to 1883. | Frederick R. wasley was born in Lnn-
 don, England, March l. a1s45. His fam Eily came to Boston when he was SIX
 months old. He learned the maehinist's itrade at Manchester, N. H, worI-l iu Boston for the Wickersham Nall Co. and when that firm moved to Norwich ! Conn, he went with them and later | (Ss7) he entered the employ of thC

MARKET WAS STRONG

New York, Aug. 1s.-Ths slow but steady absorption of stocks at constantly rising prices continued in today's stock market, which showed a tendency to break away from the restraint imposed by pending labor troubles.
 Dealings. which totaled s5o.o0o shares, continued to be largely in the hands of professional operators but accumula- tons by investment interests was re- fscted in the conspicuous strength of several high grade shares. More than a dozen new high records for the year were again recorded by active issues, but most of the gains were of a nominal nature
 President Hardings declaration to congress that the government would use nl i.s power to maintan transportation and the right of men to work was well received in the financial community, lut e had no visible on prices.

Tapestries in Evidence.
Mitchell Hedges comes as the eli
max of number of explorers who
have been dipping into the San Bias
problem, and maybe he has the key.
He has the advantage of the labOrs
of many predecessors in his task He
has the tapestries, and they look like
the work Of the Hebrew children who
made clothes for Rameses-or maybe,
he says, they are like Aztec work.
At any rate they are like the work
of other people than mere Indians !;
and how could those mOuntaineers
get those designs except by having
them handed down from the folks
who crossed the sea when 1t wasn't
any sea at all?
Moreover, the men in the mountains
wore great big earrings of solid gold.
Who taught them to dig for gold? The
problem is truly formidable, and one
may watch the chronological journals
