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."

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.

NEW TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
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.

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-

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. The supply of water
is taken from Puget Sound, some
2.5U0 feet distant.

GOOD IDEA FOR MATCHES.
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. Sledge, 540
Jones Ave., Selma, Ala., Oct. 28,1905."
Prizes for Tanned Faces.
With the object of encouraging the
pupils of the Farnham grammar school
to spend their recent holiday in th«
open air as much as possible, the "Rev.
S. Priestley, the head-master, offered a
prize to the boy who returned to
school with the brownest face. On the
pupils reassembling for the summer
term 12 were picked out as being the
most tanned, and it was announced
that the judges had awarded the prize
to Foster, the captain of the school.
It is understood that Foster declines
to divulge to the other boys the secret
of his preparation, ill any.—London
