ELECTRIC STEAM FIREWORKS. A Novelty in Outdoor Color Display Seen at Jamestown Exposition. The latest thing in fireworks in volves no fire at all—that is no lire that can be seen, for the most beauti ful effects of color are obtained with electric lights and some clouds of steam. The current for the electric searchlights is secured from any con venient supply, and the colored screens are the same as used nightly In every theater, but the artificial clouds necessary as a background for the colored lights is interesting. A good-sized portable boiler, on wheels, furnishes the steam which must be at about 75-pound pressure. The steam is conducted through iron pipes into frames of various shapes, Electric Sunburst. made of pipes with numerous small openings. The escaping steam rises in a sheet producing a moving cloud effect, and when the colored lights are played from ten or more searchlights the result is a novel delight. Not only colored lights but portraits, land scapes, marine views and moving pic tures can be thrown on the clouds of steam in combination with changing color schemes, says the Western Electrician. One slide which calls out special applause is the American flag In its red, white and blue, and when this is thrown on the steam, the wav ing effect is perfect and it is hard to believe one is not actually looking on a silk flag 50 feet in length. The flags of all nations will be dis played in this manner every night at the Jamestown exposition. ELECTRIC LIGHT POLE. It May Be Made from Pipes anc! Fittings. The sketch shows a home-made elec tric light pole, several of which were made by a corre- spondent of the Practical Engi neer, from old steam pipe and liftings. The top il /~S or upper pipe is p-p| 2'/2 inches in di ameter and about MJ 15 inches long; [TI the middle length J; 1. is three inches in [ 1 j 1 I diameter, 15 feet V. i_ J long; the bottom flp-* 1 "* 1 ' pipe is eight _ inches in diame ter and ten feet J 12 *""! long. This hot ' '• torn pipe is sunk In the ground a distance of six feet. The rest of the construction can be understood by a glance at the sketch. F-uzzled Pat. Pat acknowledged himself puzzled. "They call it an indecent electric light," said he, "but it do beat me Low they make' the hairpin burn in the bottle." Water Compression. Water is compressed 1/:;26100 of its volume for each pound of pressure. Kites for Army "Wireless" Portable wireless outfits are con sidered part of the necessary engi neering equipment to-day in all Euro pean armies- - Under ordinary condi tions, the exigencies of actual war fare will not allow th# use of the per manent mast stations, says the Tech- [ nical World Magazine. Walloons and kites are therefore I called into use to raise the aerial j wire. When the breeze is light the j tailless kito known as the Malay or ! Eddy is used. When the wind is i blowing at 30 or 40 miles an hour ! llie box kite is employed. RAYS OF LIGHT FOR WIRES. i Telephone Messages Transmitted | Through Peculiar Mfedium. It Is now possible actually to repro duce a message from one point, to an- j other by means of a ray of light, re producing at. the end of the ray tho Transmitting Apparatus. tones of the voice spoken into the ray at the sending end. Numerous experiments have been made, and it lias been found possible to combine a microphone with a pow erful electric searchlight in such a way that the powerful current operat ing the searchlight is made subject to small fluctuations. It is as if a series of ripples was sent along the continuous band of lightwaves sent out by the powerful arc light. At the other end of tha shaft of light is fixed tho polished mirror aa shown in the photograph, in the cen ter of which is a selenium cell. Tho At the Receiving End. fluctuations of light are concentrated by the concave mirror on the cell, and the little diaphragm attached to the receiver is operated by the fluctu ating currents, and sounds reach the ear just as they do in the case of the ordinary telephone. It is just as though one had spoken ! along the beam of light from a light j house tower and the speech had been heard at the other end of the ray I about ten miles away. TO FROST INCANDESCENT LAMP. Piece of Emery Paper and Little el bow Grease All That Is Necessary. A small piece of good emery cloth j is all the material necessary to frost | an incandescent lamp quickly, but ef j fectualy. Rub the cloth over the en ' tire lamp with a circular motion. I Rubbing up and down will not pro- I duce the best results. About 15 min j utes' work will produce a very good j frosting on an ordinary globe. Telephone from Moving Train. Telephone communication from a train running 35 miles an hour on a line out of Madison, Ind., was had with Louisville, Cincinnati and In dianapolis. The apparatus may provo to be sufficiently reliable to warrant the equipment of all trains. This would put the train crew in constant connection with the train dispatcher which would bo a great advance in safety of operation. The illustration shows a German scientist making an experiment in wireless telegraphy. The kite is con siderably taller than the man who is supporting it preparatory to its flight. The long wires or "antennae*' with • which the machine is equipped are j plainly visible. This is the method jof equipment employed by Marconi I for sending messages across the At j lantle. The greater (lie distance of j the wires above the earth the further ! the distance the message may ' sent. CAMERGN COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1907. DURABLE GATE. Hinges for Gate Which Permit It to Be Raised on Low End. Any ordinary gate will answer the purpose. The improvement is in the hinges. These are made of an ordi nary wagon tire. The upper one, which 1 have marked A, is made so it will pass entirely around the post and is bolted to the end of the Rate, writes the correspondent of the Jour nal of Agriculture. The bottom one, B, is made with a shoulder which ex tends only half way around the post. It is somewhat like a letter "Y," only —r -L -•"* A— -.1 IR^NR -*u A Durable Gate. the open fork is made round co it will fit the post. A number of holes bored through j the top of a post, one under the oth j or, through any one of which a bolt may be placed. This holt, C, holds the upper hinge in place. By setting it up or down in the row of holes, i the gate may be made to swing high or low, as desired. When there is a heavy snow, the bolt can be placed in the top hole, and the gate will swing over the drift. If it is desired to : raise the gate so hogs and sheep can pass tuider While large animals are restrained, the bolt can be set any height desired to make the pass ageway under the gate large enough to permit ingress or egress of the i smaller animals. The drawing will explain the con- I struction. THE DUST MULCH. It Prevents Evaporation of Moisture and Causes Roots to Strike Deeper. A Matter of much importance, both as regards saving moisture and pre venting root injuries, is the depth of surface tillage. Too shallow cultiva tion will not be effective in checking evaporation, still one must know that the soil should not be stirred so deep that the top roots are cut. If this is done the growth is at once checked, and the roots are forced lower in search of supplies. From two to three inches have been found the best depth for fiat, cultivation, where the ground has been thoroughly prepared. When a seed bed lias been thoroughly fined, proper handling will bring the corn crop along, with the minimum amount of rainfall. The problem, says In diana Farmer, is to maintain good capillary action between the lower water systems and the soil where the roots are growing. When the water moves upwards and strikes the dust blanket it is checked, and it must pass 1 out through the plant, rather than by , evaporation. It is a pretty nice prob , lem, but the aim should be to make ' all water and fertilizing material pass j through the roots of the growing plants, work for the dust mulch; don't dig down to the wet soil, so i that with every cultivation you ex ! pose more soil to the sun. MEDITATIONS. Failure comes to the faint heart : ed. Fear of being caught stands for con- I science in some men. i Much of the fertility of American soils has been wasted by the men that have cultivated It. No man should call himself a good farmer if his land has been growing ; less productive from year to yeac. It is not safe to be governed by the I results of a trial of one year on the \ farm, for frequently results are j brought about by conditions which we | know nothing about. The most nutritious hay is made | when grasses or clover are in bloom. ; A delay ot one week in the cutting 1 period will make a big difference in j the actual feeding value of the | crop. With the prospect of a short hay crop, put away some sheaf oats, when harvest comes again. They make fine feed; in fact, if they are not put up before the straw becomes too ripe, there is nothing better. Sheep Are Best Producers. Prof. F. B. Mumford of the Mis souri experiment station says that sheep produce more meat from a pound of grain than any other class of farm animals. In fact, a pound of mutton can be produced from about half as much grain as a pound of beef. Even Missouri's mostgage-lifting hog requires more grain to produce a pound of human food than the sheep. With the combination of corn and clover hay for feed, the dry shed for shelter, sheep will always give good account of themselves and lespond readily to the care given them. Save the Lambs and Pigs. Save the iambs; save the pigs. The ewes and sows will need some green food at thia time, or at least some bran and oil meal. If the bowels are kept open and apnetltes good there won't be much trouble with the young sters when they arrive. ALMOST FELT ENVY PANGS. Great Cricketer's Simple Tribute to His Own Worth. In 1885 there was & great celebra tion in London in honor of Dr. Sam uel Johnson, and among those in at tendance was the Australian "crack" cricketer, Bonner, then at the height of his fame. As one of the guests, says the com piler of the recently published "Let ters"of the late Dr. George Birkbeck Hill, Bonner's health was proposed. His response was noteworthy. "After seeing the way in which Dr. Johnson's memory is revered," he said, with great simplicity, "I am not sure that I would not rather have been suclt a man than have gained my own greatest triumphs in cricket." — Youth's Companion. SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES. Whole Head and Neck Covered —Hair All Came Out—Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura. "After having the measles my whole bead and neck were covered w r ith scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trou ble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Rem edies, and in about fi week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it wau well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was coven years ago, I consider myself cured. Mrs. Henry Porter, Albion, Neb., Aug. 25, 190 G." A Sad Mistake. In my father's native village lives Mr. S., a very deaf old man. During the summer months he lets his spare rooms to some of the many pleasure seekers who frequent the place, says a Boston Herald writer, and one day last summer, while .Air. S. was in his garden, a young man of the village chanced by, and the following conver sation took place: "Good morning, Mr. S." "Mawnin'." "You've got your house full of board ers this summer." Mr. S. was picking potato bugs off from his plants, but he managed to stop long enough to answer, "Yes." "Some nice looking young ladies among them," continued the young man. Mr. S. stood up and eyed the pota toes critically, then answered: "Well, they'd ought to look purty good. I just picked two quarts cf bugs off 'em." Bill Nye's Long Walt. Bill Nye when a young man once made an engagement with a lady friend of his to take her driving on a Sunday afternoon. The appointed day came, but at the livery stable all the horses were taken out save one oiil, shaky, exceedingly bony horse. Mr. Nye hired tlie nag and drove to his friend's residence. The lady let him wait nearly an hour before she was ready, aud then on viewing the disreputable outfit ilatly refused to ac company Mr. Nye. "Why," she exclaimed, sneeringly, "that horse may die of age any mo ment." "Madame," Mr. Nye replied, "when I arrived that horse was a prancing young steed." —Harper's Weekly. Hard to Ri^lize. "Mother," said a college student who had brought his chum home for the holidays, "permit me to present my friend, Mr. Specknoodle." His mother, who was a little hard of hearing, placed her hand to her ear. "I'm sorry, George, but I didn't quite j catch your friend's name. You'll have to speak a little louder, I'm afraid." "I say, mother," shouted George, "I i want to present Mr. Specknoodle." "I'm sorry, George, but Mr. 1 What was the name again?" "Mr. Specknoodle!" George fairly yelled. The old lady shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry, George, but I'm afraid It's no use. It sounds just like Speck noodle to me." —Everybody's Maga zine. CHILDREN SHOWED IT Effect of Their Warm Drink in the Morning. "A year ago I was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about it and she said, 'We drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonished that she would al low the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink in the world for children as well as for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. "My first trial was a failure. The cook boiled it four or five minutes and it tasted so fiat that I was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time we followed the di rections and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling bpgan. It was a de cided success and I was completely won by its rich delicious flavour. In a short time I noticed a decided im provement in my condition and kept growing better and better month after month, until now I am perfectly : healthy, and do my work in the school | room with ease and pleasure. I would j not return to the nerve-destroying reg j ular coffee for any money." | "There's a Reason." Read the fa mous little "Health Classic," "The ' Road to WellviWu" in pkgs. SPECIAL TRAINS.
