A GOODS EXHIBITOR.
»
How the Enterprising Merchant Can
Advertise His Goods.
A practical tinner of a western city
submits the accompanying sketch of a
novel goods exhibitor for a hardware
or other store which is simple in con
struction and ought to attract much
attention, says the American Artisan.
A tin drum 20 inches in diameter and
28 inches high, with some top orna
mentation, Is provided with a central
shaft, a two-inch wide pulley above
and a couple of bicycle pedals at
tached, one each above and below. A
fan wheel 20 inches in diameter is
them made and located above a fur
nace register, the fan having a IV6-
inch band iron support from above,
and a simple pulley, such as is used

as a sash pulley, attached to a shaft
as shown. A light sewing machine
belt is used to connect the pulleys.
An upward flow of hot air from the
register operates the whole device and
causes the drum full of goods to re
.volve steadily and with good effect.
It is an ingenious device and one that
will attract much attention.

Peat Coke Manufactured There by the
Ziegler Process.
Peat coke manufactured by tho
Ziegler process has recently been
started at Beuerberg, Bavaria. The
peat is cut up, pressed, and exposed to
the air until evaporation has reduced
Its water to less than 20 per cent, of
the whole mass. This peat is then
placed in a retort for 18 hours. The
coke is finally made in air-tight iron
cars which are left for six or eight
hours to cool before they are dis
charged. Each retort yields during
every 24 hours eight to ten tons of
coke. The gas is passed through vari
ous tanks and towers in which the by
products are separated, and is then
employed in assisting the retort proc
ess which could not. even commence
without the external application of
heat.

A HILL-CLIMBING HOUBE.
Remarkable Engineering Feat Per

This large four-tenement dwelling
house is slowly but surely climbing up,
over and beyond the steep side of Fort
Hill, in East Providence, R. I. The
task is considered one of the biggest

and highest house-lifting feats ever at
tempted. The same system of piers,
with the usual blocks, wedges, beams,
rollers, shoes, capstans and chains as
used in ordinary house-moving are
being employed, but the greatest skill
and exactness is necessary to keep the
whole structure firm and level while
progressing up the slope.
One of the principal features of the
work, says Popular Mechanics, is in
terracing the hill. Flat squares of
dirt are dug out, making a flight of im
mense steps over which the building
makes its laborious ascent to the
top. From step to step the structure
is raised by screws, and then a wedge
shaped shoe is inserted under the main
supporting beams, rollers are placed,
and the house dragged onto the ter
race. It takes two days to raise the
house from one terrace to the next,
but only 40 minutes to drag it onto the
terraoo afterward.

bucket, carries it to either end of the
bridge, and moves the entire struc
ture either way.
The rock at this point is of hard
Lockport dolomite. It is first drilled,
and then blown up by light charges
of dynamite. It breaks loose in larg.3
slabs about five inches thick. The
bucket lakes a huge bite of rock an<l
drops it on the spoil banks. The
bucket weighs 22 tons, has a capacity
of eight cubic yards, and makes a
lound trip in one minute. It is esti
mated that the excavator does the
work of 700 or 800 men.
Building Walls with Bags.
The practice of constructing break
waters and the submerged parts of
piers with concrete inclosed in bagg
has been largely developed in Scot
land. The concrete is prepared as
near as possible to the place where it
is to be used. It is inclosed in bags
to protect it temporarily from the
effects of contact with the sea-water
while it is lowered into place. Tho
bags are placed in a box suspended
directly over the spot where they are
to lie. The touching of a trigger opens
the box and allows a bag to drop oat.
A line of bags having been deposited,
the longer axis of each bag in the next
series is so arranged that the meeting
edges of the two bags in the lower
row will be covered. Thus a regular
wall is built up, and as the concrete
hardens, it becomes solid and immov
able.
RUBBER STATISTICS OF 190'
Production of World Amounts to
About 69,000 Tons.
The total production of rubber iu
1907 amounted to about C 9.000 tons,
against 65,000 tons in 1906. England
imported 22,964 tons, and America
16,020 tons. The shipments of Para
rubber amounted to 30,£30 tons, and of
Peruvian, 7,160 tons; of this quantity
Europe received 20,910 tons. The sup
ply of plantation rubber from the east
has increased to over 1,000 tons (in
1906 it was 510 tons); the area plant
ed is about 350,000 acres, or 50 per
cent, more than in 190t>. ttrazil ex
ported about 41,500 tons in 1907,
against 38,000 tons in 1906. The total
production of West African rubber
amounted to 17,000 tons, about
the same as in 1906. East African rub
ber showed an increased supply.
Tin Productions.
Reports show that 12,091 tons of
tin, valued at over $7,300,000, was pro
duced in Australia during 1906, being
1,725 tons more than in 1905. Tho
following quantities of tin were mined
last year in each of the producing
states: New South Wales, 1,300 tons;
Queensland, 4,823 tons; Tasmania'
4,473 tons; and Western Australia
1,495 tons.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1908.
THE PAINTING SEASON.
Good results In painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa«
tience the White Lead can be com
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lic lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other so
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
bo that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis
piece the "Dutch Boy Painter," ro
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.
PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Physician Had Reason to Think He
Had Lost His Patient.
Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members of the
German-American society, tells a Btory
about a German friend of his who
was taken ill.
For many days the German was
close to death, but after a time he
showed improvement In condition.
The doctor told the German's wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed a desire for
Limburger cheese, and the wife, being
a generous woman and pleased at the
Improvement, and in order that her
husband might have a nibble at any
time he had a taste for it, put some
cheese in every room in the house.
It is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house, and as soon as he opened
the door he asked:
"When did he die?"— Hartford Post.
SHOCK.
George—Something is preying on
my mind.
Mrs. Sharp—Ah, "something" mere
ly wanted a light lunch. I presume.
Might Be Sure of That.
Bobby is the son of a minister and
has had the experience of "moving"
four times in the space of his eight
years' life. Some time ago an elder
ly minister was visiting Bobby's father
and the course of the conversation
turned to Heaven and Bobby was
asked concerning the abode of the
blest. "Yes," said the youngster, with
a sigh of deep weariness, "I know. It's
the last place we're going to move to."
COFFEE EYES.
It Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro
duces Blindness.
The curious efTect of slow daily poi
soning and the gradual building in of
disease as a result, is shown in num
bers of cases where the eyea are af
fected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego, Mont., experi
enced a slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form of increas
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines of light, so
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at a time.
She says:
"This gradual failure of sight
alarmed me and I naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time I was told that cof
fee poisoning sometimes took that
forth, and while I didn't believe that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, I
concluded to quit it and see.
"I took up Postum Food Coffee in
spite of the jokes of Husband whose
experience with one cup at a neigh
bor's was unsatisfactory. Well, I
made Postum strictly according to di
rections, boiling it a little longer, be
cause of our high altitude. The result
was charming. I have now used Pos
tum in place of coffee for about 3
months and my eyes are well, never
paining me or showing any weakness.
I know to a certainty that the cause
of the trouble was coffee and the cure
was in quitting it and building up the
nervous system on Postum, for that
was absolutely the only change I made
in diet and I took no medicine.
"My nursing baby has been kept in
a perfectly healthy state since I have
used Postum.
"Mr. , a friend, discarded cof
fee and took on Postum to see if he
could be rid of his dyspepsia and fre
quent headaches. The change pro
duced a most remarkablo improve
ment quickly."

TRY THIS HOME REMEDY.
FOR SPRING FEVER, LANQOUR,
KIDNEY DISORDERS AND
RHEUMATISM.
"Spring fever," so called, is nothing
more or less than thick poisoned
blood. The poisonß accumulate
through the long winter, and on the
first warm day the tired, all-in feeling
manifests itself, causing aching from
head to foot, languor, sleepiness, etc.
Rheumatic pains often harass the
nerves, too, while catarrhal poisons
and uric acid run riot in the system.
Use the salt water treatment for
local symptoms, but a cleanser and
tonic is needed by the blood. Other
wise a most miserable summer will
torture you. Get the poisons out of the
blood before the hot season is here.
Thin the blood, stimulate the kidneys
and liver, invigorate the nerves, Is the
advice of a German-American spe
cialist. When asked how, he replied:
"Get any honest druggist to mix in a
bottle one-half ounce fluid extract
buchu, one ounce compound fluid balm
wort, and two ounces compound syrup
sarsaparilla. A teaspoonful after each
meal and one at bedtime will -work
marvelous changes, thin the poisoned
blood, strain out the poisons and regu
late the functions.

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of Scabies—Body a Mass
of Sores from Scratching—Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.
"A young woman eame to our city
mission in a most awful condition physi
cally. Our doctor examined her and
told us that she had scabies (the itch),
Incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was a mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day I bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our
patient well and gave her a full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day I got a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able to look for a
position, and she is now strong and well.

THE CALUIF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.
A Btaff contributor of a southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says:"lt is a well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their Impress upon its peo
ple and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financiers—have as a rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and it Is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does it come with re
doubled persuasiveness, greater pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man of
affairs when the clouds of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tle; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him tho
specter of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan
cial flurry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined nnd a very few bo
came insane because of their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.
It is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, and
the man of affairs becomes tired of
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases
throughout the United States of those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take,
for Instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from $lO to
sls per acre which yield a revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make a
certain Investment. During the past
two months large investments in
these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others to re
sell to farmer friends. The agents of
the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 160 acres
each accessible to railways, markets,
schools, churches, &c. These are val
uable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de
sirous of securing, and will tell all
about the railway rates, &c.
