HE ALSO WAS A COLLECTOR. Cleveland Artist Came Back with s Counter Proposition. A local newspaper artist got a let ter one day from a man over in In diana who said he was making a col lection of sketches, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I have drawings from well known newspaper artists in near ly every state in the union," the In diana man wrote, "but I have none from Ohio. 1 have seen some of your work and I think it is good. If you will send me some little sketch for my collection I shall have it framed." The artist noticed from the letter head that, the Indiana man was con nected with a bank in one of the small towns in the state of literature. That pave him a hunch, and he wrote back as follows: "I am making a collection of ten dollar bills. I haven't secured speci mens from every state in the union, hut 1 have several tens and a few twenties, and 1 am particularly anx ious to have a ten dollar bill from Indiana. I notice that you are em ployed in a place where ten dollar bills are kept, and if you send me one for my collection I shall be glad to have it framed." SUFFERED TORTURES.

Y. SYMPATHY FOR THE FISH. Uptcn Sinclair's Amazing Parable on Charity of the Rich. Upton Sinclair, in an address before K body of Chicago Socialists, said of charity: "The average charity, the charity ol the rich, seems rather futile to me. The rich oppress the poor enormously, then they help them slightly. It is like the young lady angler. " 'Why,' said a man to this young lady, 'do you always carry a bottle of liniment with you on your fishing ex cursion^?' She sighed. " 'I am sorry,' she said plaintively, 'for the poor little fish. And so. when I tu':e one off the hook, I always rub ita cut mouth with some liniment.'" His Idea of a Good Tims. The retired contractor sighed as he got into his dress suit and thought of the elaborate dinner and the opera that were to come. "Some day,"he said, "I'll git real desp'rit, an' then do you know what I'll do?" "Something terrible, no doubt," re plied his ambitious wife. "I suppose it wouldn't look well in print," he admitted, "but I can't help that. What I'll do will be to throw away these high-priced cigars, put on some old clothes, go out an' come in by the back way an' smoke a quarter pound of cut-up chewin' tobacco in a coh pipe while I'm talkin' things over with the coachman in the barn." —The Bohemian. Text Somewhat Apropos. The Rev. J. B. Hammill, the elo quent preacher of the Hanson Place Methodist Kpiscopal church. Brooklyn, was preaching at Sayville, L. 1., from the text "Look well to your founda tions." After repeating the text he leaned heavily on the pulpit desk, which gave way and plunged over the altar rail, nearly hitting the laymen in the front seat and scattering the Bible and the preacher's notes among, the holders of the pews. The aged preach er barely escaped a tumble over the altar with the heavy desk. Not Partial to Nursing. Not long ago a young Irishman was seeking work in western Illinois, and among! those to whom he applied was a farmer near Cairo. The farmer was attracted by the Celt's frank, cheery manner, and, while he was not in need of help, he asked, after a pause: "Can you cradle?" "Cradle!" repeated the Irishman. "Sure, I can! But, sir," he added, per suasively, "couldn't ye give me a job out-of-dures?" —Harper's Weekly. SICK HEADACHE _ . "——v—l Positively enred by IrARTFBQ these puis.

Instrument Which Receives and De livers Messages at Long Range. The latest time-saving addition to business system is a little instrument which enables the head of a business or department to converse with one or all of his subordinate officers in an ordinary tone of voice, in any part of his office, and without holding the ap paratus to his ear or mouth. Their replies will come to him in like fash ion, so that the whole conversation will be just the same as if all parties were talking together in one room. If the manager wishes to communicate with one person only, he can easily make it impossible for anyone else to overhear, and if he wishes to keep .the replies secret from someone in his own office, there is a receiver which he can use in the ordinary way. Poulson Wireless Progressing. Vladimir Poulson, the Danish inven tor, expects soon to establish wireless communication across the Atlantic from Denmark to America. He has erected a station a few miles from Copenhagen and an American station will be completed in a few weeks. His system is based on "singing" electric waves which, he says, have inexhausti ble power, where the spark system loses energy over long distances. Mr. Poulson first perfected his system for a distance of 40 miles, increasing it to 190, 380 and 760 miles; now he de clares that he can operate over greater distances than the Atlantic's breadth. Wireless Station on Airship. The possibilities and practical util ity of wireless telegraphy in aerial navigation will be thoroughly investi gated aboard Count Zeppelin's airship this summer. A wireless station has been installed on the craft, in which, instead of extending upward as in < other stations, the receiver extends i downward, consisting of a bronze wire 300 feet long. Power from the air ship's two 80-hp. motors works the transmitter, which is capable of send ing messages 150 miles. Nitrogen Gas. The use of nitrogen gas has been j tried in France for inflating tires. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1907. POWER OF ELECTRICITY. Railways of the World to Be Operated By This Irresistible Force. Electricity now completely domi nates Ihe urban railway systems of America and Europe, and is invading with irresistible force that of subur ban and interurban railroads to such an extent that it would be difficult to enumerate them even in the United States. The systems which reach out from Boston, with connections which ex tend 40, 50 and even 100 miles, are only a sample of the wonderful devel opment of the last 15 years, while the projects for future means of transpor tation in N'ew England are so compre hensive as to exclude the use of steam by all the companies which operate transportation lines for passengers and freight within a radii of 50 miles at least from all large centers of pop ulation. A single line, from Indianapolis to Cincinnati, a distance of 120 miles, al ready enjoys a large traffic in both freight and passengers, and the New York Central railroad company pro poses to at once instal electricity in place of steam to a distance of 40 miles in all its vast system radiating from New York city. In Europe one of the longest elec tric lines is from Liverpool to South port, although many projects of even more gigantic proportions are under way throughout England. Most of these lines aro in reg>on3 where there are not sufficient water fall! from w&lvh to generate power. But whfro there are waterfalls—the unrest, easiest and most C' source of energy in the world— there is no reason why the electric engine may not supersede steam entirely while it seems positive that a great re gion which has no railroads would, it lines were to be built, adopt the elec tric system, even though there were no water power, and having that, would not hesitate in the choice. The Italian government, in conjunc tion with the railroads, has been car rying on successful experiments and extending the use of electricity for nearly ten years, and now a line is be ing iilted up from Rome to Civita-Cas tellana. The governments of Norway and Sweden are already occupied with the application of electricity to the larger lines; France is-equipping roads with it as fast as possible, and being out done by Germany; Switzerland Is adopting it. as rapidly as possible; Spain has awakened to the import ance of electric railways, and is about to build one nearly 100 miles long; Mexico has just equipped one of over 100 miles, and the United States has many which are still larger. Even in Colombia, where there are practically no railroads, the most prominent en gineers. in consultation with Pres Reyes, are contemplating the utiliza tion of the vast torrents now plunging to waste from the precipitous moun tains, to operate new railroads which they declare will be "the wonder of the world." ELECTRIC BOUQUET. A Novelty Which is Proving Very Popular. A pleasing electric novelty which any electrician can easily make is the electric bouquet. The idea is suited to many occasions, such as receptions, weddings and presentations, in a large bouquet or design of natural flowers are placed small incandescent lamps, either white or colored, ar ranged in the form of letters to pro- The Electric Bouquet. duce either initials or words. For ex ample, says Popular Mechanics, on the recent occasion of a reception given by his employes to their man ager on his return from a long ab sence a mammoth bouquet of roses was presented to him, in the middle of which glowing in soft colors was the word "Welcome." Current was taken from a wall bracket through a flexible cord 20 feet long, which permitted the bouquet to be carried about the room. Moving Pictures of the Heart. By the use of X-rays and the cine matograph, an apparatus for repeated ly photographing moving objects at very brief intervals, scientists have succeeded in photographing move ments of internal organs like the heart and lungs. These moving pictures when reproduced on a screen are of great assistance to medical men. Hydraulic Sluicing. Hydraulic sluicing is being employ ed at Seattle, Wash., for the removal of a large hill in the residential sec tion of the city. The material con sists principally of blue clay, which is exceedingly tenacious and hard to •uove, but is easily handled by a six inch giant nozzle at 120-pound pres sure hydraulic.

Double Enders Popular Among Smok ers in Mexico. "Mexico may be behind us in some things, but she has us lashed to the wheel when it comes to making matches," said a man just in from the land of the Montezumas as he handed out a wax lucifer with a head on each end. "I saw nothing but double ended matches while 1 was away, and I can tell you that they save one's record with the Recording Angel. If you dig down in your pocket and find one match the chances are that you are sure of a light, because if one end goes out the other is left. These old time matches, just revived, that splut ter brilliant sparks may be all right when it comes to pleasing the baby, but the fellow who puts on the mar ket a double ended match will find a ready demand." BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE. Physician Called It Eczema in Worst Form —Patient Despaired of Cure— Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. "About four years ago I was afllict ed with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irri tation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that 1 was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of . After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be shin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment lid me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to dis continue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was en tirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.
