EXTENSION CALL BELL. How the Ring of the Telephone Can Carried Some Distance. In many shops, where the telephone is in the office and the proprietor spends a great part of the time in the shop, the telephone often rings re peatedly without being answered, as there is nobody within hearing dis tance. In many cases of this kind an extension call bell, such as is shown in the sketch, could be used to ad vantage. The telephone bell, A. is fitted with a piece of hard rubber, 13, having a metal contact, C, which is placed so that the hammer wiil strike it and make contact. Part of the gong may be cut away to do this, or if neces sary, the whole gong may be removed. The other gong is connected to one side of the battery, and the other side connects to an electric bell, D, which can be placed in any desired location. If the bell does not worlt well, short circuit the interrupter. This will not prevent it from vibrat ing, as the current is intermittent, being interrupted at C, and if the in 0M- —1 » -J Arrangement of the Wires. terruptions at C and D are not in uni son the result will not be good. 1 have one of these bells in use at the present time, says a correspond ent of Popular Mecharjtcs, and find it a great convenience. AN ELECTRICITY THIEF. Case Where a Householder Secured Enough Current to Light His House. "Electricity thieves crop up now and then," said an electrician to the reporter of the Philadelphia Bulletin. "Our last case was a man who had lighted his whole house with stolen electricity for six months. "Next door to this man was a Mg factory that used 1,000 lights a night. The man bored a hole through a parti tion, inserted a wire, tapped the fac tory's current and helped himself bountifully to illumination. "Wo lost nothing. The factory paid, of course, for the electricity stolen from it. The theft wasn't discovered »ill some time after the thief had moved away." Steel Plate Sky-Scraper.

North Dakota seems to have found the key to the question, "llow shall we protect the people from frauds in manufactured products?" A new law has recently gone into effect desigued to make it impossible to deceive peo ple into buying inferior and adulter atei} paint under the impression that they are getting real paint, viz.: pure white lead and liaseed oil. The North Dakota lawmakers did not attempt to absolutely prohibit the inferior pigments, or mixtures of pigments. They adopted the slogan, "Let the label tell," and then left to the people to buy whichever they wished. Under this plan, If any one wishes to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground quartz and other cheap elements which found in many paints and so-called "white leads," no one can object; for they do it with their eyes open. But if they prefer genuine white lead and linseed oil, they can be sure of getting it, for none but the genuine article can bear a label which says "pure white lead." In all other States mixtures are of ten sold as pure white lead which contain little sometimes no real white lead. It would seem that were this same principle applied to food, beverages and ail other prepared articles, where deception is practiced upon the buy er, the question would be solved. It would leave us free to buy what we pleased, but would protect us from unwittingly buying what we did not want. Crucial Test. "Yes, the prisoner was a woman of extraordinary nerve. They tried in every knov.n way to maka hor ncrr ous." "That so?" "Yes. They shot off a gun unexpect edly, yelled 'Fire!' and told her a div tant powder blast was an earthquake. Still she was unmoved. Then they liberated a mouse." "I'll wager a bank roll against a stogie that the mouse made her nerv ous." "Not at all. She only stepped on it and laughed." "Great Jupiter! Such a woman as that wouldn't lose her nerve if the earth exploded." "Oh, yes. One of the detectives stepped up and whispered In her ear that her hair had been ssed up for two hours, and then she collapsed."

"The Cuticura Remedies cured me of my skin disease, and I am very thank ful to you.
