20 EDKON TELLS WHEN A MAN IS EDUCATED Famous Inventor Says Men Should Keep in Touch With Affairs of the Day Discussing "what constitutes an education," Thomas A. Edison said tt man is educated when ho Is "some what familiar with every branch of the environment in which we live— social, commercial and scientific." This holds out hope to the young people struggling upward in the world to-day. They can educate themselves. No better and more con cise fund of Information is held out to men and women, boys and girls to-day than the New Universities Dictionary, now being distributed to readers of this paper. This diction ary condenses in one volume most of the information concerning the world's present-day activities. It is more than a vocabulary, more than a mere list of words-—lt. Is a com plete inventory of to-day's English. This paper's offer of this remark able book has proven to bo highly popular. The demand for the dic tionary continues with increasing force. Already new supplies have been ordered, and the publishers say they have equal demands from other cities, making it hard for them to keep up with orders. Since this is purely an educational offer, and the books aro given out at nominal expense, the mere cost of handling, the time limit will soon be reached, and readers are urged to get their copies without delay. Quebec Bridge in Place After Two Disasters Quebec, Sept. 21. The central span of the Quebec cantilever bridge was successfully bolted into place yesterday afternoon at 3:28 o'clock, linking together the arms of the largest bridge of Its kind In the world. The hoisting operation began last Monday morning, and the span, which weighs 5,000 tons, was lifted by hy draulic packs a distance of 150 feet from pontoons on the St. Lawrence river. Yesterday's work brought to an end the critical part of the operation, vir tually completing the structural part of the bridge. An effort last year to raise a similar span in place resulted in disaster when the link slipped from its supports, caiißinx fourteen deaths, and In 1907 a bridge in the same place collapsed when it was virtually com plete, killing seventy. The successful completion of the bridge will mean the fulfillment of a fifty-year engineering dream. It will be some months before trains can be inn over the structure, as there is much detail work to be carried out. The running time between Halifax nnd Winnipeg then will be reduced half a day. One detail is the paint ins: of the bridge, which, it is esti mated. will take three years and cost $35,000. XF.W AUTOMATIC I.KillT IU OV MAKES OWN EIJKCTRICITY Because an automatic light buoy designed by an inventor of marine apparatus produces Its own .electric current und demands only casual at tention, the cost ol' maintaining it amounts to practically nothing. Its mechanism is not complicated. A vertical shaft mounted on ball bear ings is actuated by a weighted hori zontal arm that swings back and forth when the buoy is rocked by the waves. The motion Is trans mitted through gears to a high-ten sion magneto. Each time the weight swings either to the left or the right the generator makes a few quick turns and develops a strong spark lhat passes through a gas-filled glass tube and produces a bright flash of light. Obviously the strength and frequency of the flashes increase as the sea grows rougher. The pris matic outer cylinder of the lamp is red, blue or any desired color. There is no filament in the gas-filled tube. —Popular Mechanics Magazine. WORLD'S TAIA/KST CHIMNEY COMI'IiEIJED IN JAPAN In many cities in various lands are chimneys which have been pro claimed as "the tallest in the world," but the structure which, without doubt, truly possesses this title has recently been completed in Sago noseki. Japan. It is of reinforced concrete and stands 570 feet high, on a hill 430 feet higher than the copper smelter with which it is con nected, so that it discharges its poi sonous fumes 1,000 feet above the plant. The chimney is 42 feet in diameter at the base and its inside diameter at the top is feet. The foundation is 95 feet in diameter and contains 2,700 cubic yards of concrete. The first 150 feet of the chimney has a concrete lining sepa rated from the outer wall by a 5-inch air space. Four hundred tons of steel were used in the whole con r-truction. Popular Mechanics Maga zine shows the comparative height of the Woolworth building with this huge structure. Caught A Cold And It Hung On Couldn't Seem to Shako It hut Tan lac Quickly Chased It—Feels Fine Now Harry Buxton, the well-known barber at the Koyal Shop, 12 North Third street, Harrisburg, Pa., caught a cold. A nasty nagging cold. The kind that gets a gulp on a man and makes him feel as if life wasn't worth living and everything was a bur'aen and try as he would he couldn't get rid of it. He says: "I woke up one morn ing and found that I had a humding er of a cold. It had me for fair. I felt as if I had been beaten up and I didn't care a whoop which team won the pennant. I dosed myself in the usual way but old Mr. Cold he hung righ on and refused to budge. "I did everything I could to chase him, but nothing doing, he stayed right on the job morning, noon and night, and he got me worried. I was feeling pretty mean and just a bit worried. "Then I happened to hear about Tanlae and thinks I, I'll give it a trial, maybe it will do the trick. And believe me it did. And It did more than rid me of this cold for It has made me feel about 100 per cent, better than I usually feel. I'm in great shape, wonderful appetite, sleep fine and feel energetic all day long. Tanlac is sure great stuff." Tan lac, the famous reconstruc tive tonic, is now being Introduced here at Qorgas' Drug Store, these enterprising druggists having se cured the exclusive sale of this mas ter medicine in Harrisburg.
