j THE I fp c W CONQUERING OLD AGE. Keeping Young by High-Frequency Electric Currents. A method of retarding the approach ol old ago by treatment with high fre- qu en c y electric currents is report ed in the Medical Times by Dr. Sam uel Tracy of New York. In Dr. Tracy's opinion, senility is a nat ural process, and should coma on grad 11 a lly and painlessly. Owing to inheritance or predisposition, as well as to the strenuous modern life, it creeps up before we are aware of it. aed this Is the time for the phy sician to protect his patient. When a man begins to get old, says Dr. Tracy, much can be accomplished to retard the svmpfaij. He goes on: "It it> admitted by many of our pro fession that arteriosclerotic ( with loss of elasticity in the walls of the arter ies) is really the beginning of old age The changes in the wall of the blooJ vesrcl are said to be due to li.vperten tlon and to vitiated blood. The con dition of the blood is due to nutoinfec tion and the floating in the blood etreain of waste materials. "The waste material found in the blood Is due to overeating, excessive drinking of alcohol, and autointoxica tion. In the latter case the chemistry of the system is unbalanced. . . . There is more waste than repair; the organs which preside over elimination of waste material being overtaxed are unable to efficiently take care of the excess, and consequently some waste material floats in the blood-stream, acting as a poisonous substance, vitiat ing the 'rivers of life,' and degen erating the 'river beds." .... "When arteriosclerosis has mani fested itself by hypertention in the blood-vessels, strong emotions, exces sive mental excitement, or physical etrain is likelj to endanger life by a sudden rupture of a small vessel in the brain. . . . An artery of the body can be compared with a flexible rubber tube, used for a drop-light, and filled with illuminating gas. Continual overpressure of gas within the tube will affect the walls of the tube, and diminish its elasticity. If the tube is j slightly damaged or obstructed, in creased pressure of gas may cause a ; fissure in the inner wall of the tube. To make the tube do good practical ' work it is absolutely necessary to mod- | erate the pressure of the gas. "So it is with our arteries. When arteriosclerosis first makes its appear- i ance wejmust reduce the pressure in 1 the blood-vessel. "While old age cannot be prevented, we have agencies at our disposal which will materially assist in retard ing it, and in making its symptoms more comfortable. These agencies are high-frequency electric currents, diet, end hygi'T.e. The physiological effects of high-frequency Current are due to the spark, or condenser effect, which produces mechanical effect on the tis sue, an increased heat in the body, and the formation of ozone and ultraviolet light. The local action is accom plished by a general reaction, the blood-pressure is lowered, and com bustion through the lungs is increased. The eliminative processes are general ly stimulated." It is claimed that very interesting results are obtained by the use of such high-frequency treatment, combined with proper diet and hygienic precau tions. FOR AMATEUR ELECTRICIAN.

The connections are made as shown in the diagram, Fig. 5, says Populai Mechanics. This de vice may be used on 110-volt current for electroplating and small battery lamps, provided the magnets are wound with wire no larger than No. 40. SHORT-CIRCUITED CONDENSER. How It Can Easily Be Cleared and R» stored to Perfect Order. The accompanying diagram showj how to apply the electric current to a condenser that may have become short-circuited by the tinfoil, through a defect in the paper insulation, mak ing a contact one sheet with the other, as shown in Fig. 1. Connect the contact point, A, Fig. 2, toon« side of the source of current and the wire, B, to the other side, con necting this wire to the condenser as shown. Then by means of attaching the contact point, A, to the condenser 'frT\ Condenser \ % , tf Cleaning Out a Condenser. terminal, X, you will succeed in burn ing out the short-circuited portion of the condenser, says Telephony. He sure to insert a fuse wire between tie contact point and the source of cur rent, which will blow out at about five amperes, and it is well to simply make passing contacts between A and X un til you have observed that the short circuited portion has been cleared. 0 represents the eo'irce of electric eur rent, which may be the regular 20 oi 40-volt storage battery or it may be a 110-volt lighting circuit. Either sys tem will serve so long ao it in a source cf direct current. In Fig. 1 ia shown the tinfoil, T, and the paper insulation, P. D shows the defect in the paper where the tinfoil j has forced itself through in contact with another sheet. It is this contact point which is burnt out when you "flash" the condenser in the mannei described. WHOLESALE TELEPHONY. Talking to Thirty-Five at Once Ovei 1 the Same Wire. Dependent for many years on an an j tiquated system by which it was neo j essary to call up each station house i separately, thus losing much valuable time, the Philadelphia department ol public safety, which has charge of the j city's police, recently installed a sys- I tem of simultaneous telephony by j which a message may be sent from a j single transmitter to 35 points al j once. The wires are so connected that, by 1 throwing a single switch, all the sta | tions are brought into the circuit and the words spoken by the operator at the central station are heard at each ! of the outlying stations simultaneous i ly. The operators are provided with a j harness holding both transmitter and J receiver to their head so that their ! hands may be left free to operate type- j writers to take down messages. When the switch at the central sta- ! tion is not thrown into the circuit the i telephones may be used to converse j with a single station as usual without | necessitating the use of another tele- ! phone. Similarly it also is possible j to have a message coine from any one j station and goto all the others simul- j taneonsly without waiting to be re- j peated at the central office. t The system, says the Technical ' World Magazine, has been perfected by a Philadelphian, after ten years' experimenting. It is said that a Vi enna newspaper has a somewhat sim ilar apparatus by means of which it sends out news by telephone to up ward of 800 subscribers. NICKEL PLATING. How the Process Can Be Managed Without an Electric Current. A light coat of nickel may be de- j posited upon brass and copper articles j without the use of the electric cur- I rent. The deposit is hardly sufficient | to stand heavy bufling, but it may be j lightly treated without cutting through. A solution is made up as follows: Water gal. 1 j Double Nickel Salts oz. 8 i Sal-ammoniac oz. 8 The salts are dissolved in the water, and the whole is then heated nearly to boiling, says the Brass World. The brass or copper articles are immersed in the solution and some piece of aluminum are placed in it so that they come in contact with the brass or cop per. The aluminum may be in the form of sheet scrap or granulated. A few pieces only are necessary. Oas is given off from the aluminum and within a minute the article will become covered with a white coat of nickel. In a few minutes a fairly heavy deposit will have been produced. The nickel deposit is not quite as white as that obtained by electro deposition from a good nickel solution, but it is the equal of an ordinary grade, it has a dark shade resembling the nickel obtained in an alkaline plat ing solution. Violins Aged by Electricity. A noted violinist and violin maker believes he has discovered a method for giving, by the aid of an electrical machine, the same quality of tone to a violin that age has been credited with providing. The theory of the violinist is that it is not the age of the violin which really gives it its superior tone, but the amount of "bowing" or vibra tion it has received. By the use of the electrical machine the violin is ex pected to get as much "bowing" in 30 days as the same instrument would re ceive in 50 years of ordinary use. The details of the machine, which works tbe bow across the strings with almoat human touch, ar« aa >«t a secret CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1908. HORIICpTIHE IRRIGATING A GARDEN. Cheap Sub-Irrigation Plant Which the Gardener Can Install Himself. The garden plat should bp nearly level, and near enough to the force pump or supply tank to be supplied from a hose. The pipes used come in eight-foot lengths, are of galvanized Iron and one inch in diameter. They are not soldered, bo have an open seam the entire length. These lengths are fitted together like stove pipe, so you can add as many as you need. The supply pipes are two inches in di ameter and soldered. 1 have three boxes, explains the writer In Farm ers' Mail and Breeze, made of one by six fencing 16 inches deep, tight at bottom, but loose cover on top. <•<* un en* A] J\. JL 112 t r -"Ti I it LtADINO TO fclfPU TANK Showing Pipe System. Where the supply pipe enters bore i» iwo-ineh hole four inches from bottom »nd let the pipe fit in closely. Where the small pipe enters boxes bore a one-inch hole two inches from bottom and fit pipe. Dig your trench for sup i ply pipe 11 inches deep, so that when I In place only six inches of your box I will be above the ground. Dig the long trenches eight inches deep and leave open until you connect the en- I tire sysem, being sure that the open j seam is at the bottom of long pipes. | Put corks in tlie end of long pipes . (not in the box), then drop the end of I your hose in one of the boxes. If your pipes are level the water | will trickle out evenly from the hot j torn of all three long pipes, and you | can then fill up your trenches, turn I off the hose and plant your seeds, j Then turn on the water until you see : damp spots on the surface of the 1 ground, then turn it off. The long ! pipes cost one cent per foot and the two-inch two cents. I bought mine of ' our dealer, but think it is made at ■ Oakley, Kan. Each long pipe waters the ground j for four feet on each side, making ir- I rigated plot 24 feet wide. If you want to shut off one .long ' pipe, put a cork in it at the supply ' box. This plant is cheap, a ten-year-old I boy can make it. It docs not cause the top of the ground to bake, and produces excellent results in every way. HILLSIDE APPLE ORCHARD. An Ideal Place for the Setting of Fruit Trees. If possible, select a hillside for the | new apple orchard. Have it on the side of the hill that } gets fewest of the heavy windstorms. This will often save the apple crop. Plow the land deeply, running the i furrows across the hill to prevent I washing. If the soil is very light, i leave an unplowed strip here and i there to further act as a check to I washing. If the trees are to be set out ttois | spring, manure heavily in the furrows. | This will secure the full benefits of the S manure and prevent some of it being I washed away. If the supply of barnyard manure is J short putin phosphorus, potassium J and nitrogen in some form or other. I Give the trees a good start so they can make good roots the first year. Use varieties that have been demon strated to be the best for the locality and go slow on the kinds that have not been sufficiently tried. Head the trees low, swys the Farm ers' Review. This is the more neces sary if they are on high locations ex posed to the winds. Low headed trees lose fewer apples than high hea.®d ones. On the hillside do not plant other crops except grass, if the land is very sloping. The ground should be en couraged to grass over and form a good sod as quickly as possible. GARDEN NOTES. Much of the fruit shipped to mar ket is picked when too immature. The tomatoes need to be started early, so that the plants will have obtained good size by the time they can safely be set out in the spring. Iteraember, the currant and goose berry worms can easily be killed by spraying the bushes promptly with one ounce of while hellebore dissolved in three gallons of water. Pick off all the blossoms from uew Iv-set strawberry beds, thus you send all the plants' strength back into themselves —into growth. It is unwise to let plants fruit the first season. ASPARAGUS CULTURE. Same Valuable Hint# from One Who Has Grown Vegetable. In a recent letter, Mrs. E. E. Crimes, one of the most successful asparugus growers in the nation, has the follow ing to say of the culture of that ex cellent plant: "There are two methods by which plants can be secured —from seed and from roots. If the roots can be ob tained from a reliable firm, this is the quickest way to start a bed, and the earlier returns will more than pay for the plants; but roots should not be over two years old. Stunted roots and two vear-old-roots are so nearly alike in appearance that an unreliable firm will sometimes palm the former off for the latter. Some time ago the writ er ordered 250 of the two-year-old roots, and, at the same time, planted roots grown from seed from the home garden. Those from the nursery did not show a spear above the ground, while home grown plants have formed a thrifty body, but roots can be pur chased from reliable firms with good results. The writer has had good success taking up the young plants that had grown from a fallen seed in an old bed. These plants should be taken up after a rain, being careful to take up enough soil so as not to disturb the young plants. If plants form a clurnp, leave them together; dig a hole large enough to set the roots ia as if they had giov.u tbero; place in rows or beds in a shady place, where the ground is cultivated. These plants should nut bo disturbed till two years old. "if one cannot secure plants from an old bed, buy seed from a reliable fir:n. The seed should be sown early in the spring and when plants are two years old transplant into a bed where the roots can remain permanently. If properly cared for the bed will be profitable for 25 years. The selection of the ground is quite important. If for early use, or for market, and if rap id growth is desired, the soil should be a little sandy and should lie where It can have the direct rays of the sun. The ground should be as free from rock, rubbish and weeds as possible. This soil should bo heavily covered with well rotted manure. The ground plowed deeply and well pulverized. The rows should be marked out with a IOW, making a furrow six inches d' ,'pin which to set the roots. The r ws should be four feet apart. As paragus should not be cut till the second year after planting, and the season's cutting should not be pro longed later than the middle of June, as this would be Injurious to the life and vitality of the roots." A POLE LADDER. For Many Uses, Especially In Or chard, It Can't Be Beat. Here is a plan for making a ladder from a pole. The accompanying il lustration shows how it is made. I used one like it 40 years ago, says a writer in Prairie Farmer and I thought it a "daisy." It is not original / A Single Pole Ladder. with me. I took the idea from one of the agricultural papers at the time. The pole is sawed to A where an iron band is slipped on from the top. At C is a wooden step which keeps the foot spread. The rungs, B, 16 inches apart, are one-half inch iron. I used machine bolts. My plan for testing the safety strength of any ladder of which I am in doubt, is to lay it horizontal with both ends off the ground, stand on the middle, and if it will hold me, it will bold in any other position. Ireland Needs Reforesting. Ireland pays $5,000,000 a year for timber imported from other countries. Only l'i per cent, of its land is in tim ber and much of this is of little value. A popular objection to reforestation has been that forest plantations offer less employment to labor than equal areas of agricultural land. It was shown, however, that a certain 50-year-old forest, although planted on poor soil not valuable for agriculture, had employed four times as much labor as has been employed upon equal area of agricultural land and was more profitable to the owner. Within the past year $50,000 worth of timber has been sold from this plantation, and much remains to be cut. Fruit Commerce. It is only within recent years that fresh fruits have become important in commerce. Formerly only lemons, oranges and apples were sent far. Most of the export fruits were dried prunes, dates, rasins and figs. The coming of the demand for transporta tion brought into existence the great cold storage arrangements in our ocean steamers, by which it is now possible to send even perishable fruits from one part of the world to the other. Both market and competition hav<r been enlarged. DAD AND HIS MEMORY. Old Gentleman Really Had Very Lit tle to Brag About. It was a severe trial to Mr. Harding that his only son's memory was not all that could be desired. "Where in the world he got such a forgetful streak from is beyond me." said the exasperated father to his wife on on* occasion. "What has he forgotten now?" asked Mrs. Harding, with eyes down cast and a demure expression. "The figures of the last return from the election on the bulletin-board," and Mr. Harding inserted a finger in his collar as if to loosen it, and shook his head vehemently. "Looked at 'em as he came past not half an hour ago, and now can't tell me. "As 1 said to him: 'lf you're BO itupid you can't keep a few simple fig ures in your head, why don't you write 'em down on a piece of paper, as I do, ind have done all my life, long before I was your age?'"Youth's Com panion.
