WIRELESS PIANO. Success After Inventor Toiled for Thlriiecn Years. Ira F. Gilincre, of Bloomington, 111., has invented a wireless piano upon which he has experimented under many disadvantages lor the last 13 years. In the beginning of his venture he tried first in the United Slates to get his reeds made and failed. So he went to work on a piece w of steel one quarter of an Inch think and six inches wide, drilled it and filed it until he had made a fivo octave comb reed, and placed it on a bridge and sounding board. Then, he picked and hammered it and discov ered that he had a fine hard-tone, one that had been eagerly sought after for many years by all who tried to im prove the tone of the wire piano. He then began to search for a music box' manufacturer, wlio could manufacture the comb reeds or music tongues. Ho corresponded with a firm in Switzer land, the real homo of the mußic box, several years without avail. So, after finding that he could not get the music 1 tongues made either in his own or for - * eign countries, he and his sons under took the task and were successful. They made a rough model of the wire less piano at an agricultural machine shop under great disadvantages. They made the combination —the music box r v reed with the piano keyboard—and their efforts are crowned with suc cess. Indigestion, congested liver, impure blood, constipation, those are what afflict thousands of people who do not know what is the matter with them. They drag along a miserable existence: they apply to the local doctors occasionally, and some times obtain a little temporary relief, but the old, tired, worn-out, ail-gone, distressed feeling always comes hack ayain worse than 'vcr, until in time they become tired of living, wonder why they wore ever born, land why thev are alive unless to endure ror.stant suffering. To such sufferers there is a haven of refuge in Dr. August Koe nig's Hamburg Drops, which was discov ered more'than fill years ago. and which is a wonderful medicine. One trial will con vince the most sceptical that any or all of these difficulties may be removed, and a perfect cure effected bv taking Dr. August Koenig*s Hamburg Drops.

The black knot may be prevent ed or cured by promptly cutting off all on its first appearance nnd burning it. More commonly it is allowed to spread a year or two unobserved, nnd then it is justly pronounced a very formidable and incurable disease. Taken in time there is much less labor to keep it un der than to cultivate the ground. The curculio is readily destroyed by jarring the insects down on stiffened sheets and killing them with the thumb nnd finger, or burning them. The jnrrlng is effected by striking with an axe or hammer on iron plugs inserted In the main branches. It must be continued dally, or twice a day, as long as any In sects are found. If intermitted the remedy will prove a failure. Road Cart nnd Inncct Catcher# The well-known liablt of moths nnd beetles to fly toward a light has been taken advantage of by Martin B. Goo ing in constructing his combined road cart and insect catcher, an illustration of the vehicle being presented here with. The special purpose of this ar rangement is to rid corn nnd cotton fields and other tracts of land of the Insect pests which damage the crops and foliage. The vehicle made use of in this instance is a single wheel cart, constructed especially for passing between rows of plants with- TO TBAVEBSE THE FIELDS AT NIGHT. out damaging them, and the saddle of the harness maintains tho cart in an upright position. Upon tho thills of the cart is mounted a metallic frame, with lamps of nny desired pattern placed at the top and bottom and a central screen of wire or cloth strung between the rows of lamps. This screen is coated with some adhesive substance, and when the vehicle Is driven between the rows of plants at night the lights attract the insects, which, in their attempt to fly about the flame strike against tho net and are trapped in the sticky coating. With a good horse a large field can be gone over in a very short time, and there is little doubt of the saving of many times the cost of the vehicle in tho course of a single season.—Philadel phia Itecord.

That steel road in Murray street, No.tv York, laid as an experiment by the Automobile Club of America, is serving so much better than the prophets said it would that the chances are it will be generally adopted in the cities where machine riding Is popular. To tho general surprise, it has proved less slippery in ice and snow than cobbles are, for cobbles have round edges and tip the hoofs of horses slightly forward or backward. Wheels of all vehicles move with ease when they leave tho granite and touch the flat plates of steel. Novelty In Tops. The latest novelty In tops is one that whistles and sings as it goes round. In the hollow upper portion are a pair of metal discs and a ham mer, while round the side are sev eral holes leading Into the hollow. Tho air is sucked into the hollow chamber through an opening at the crown of this new toy, and is driven through the openings in the side, causing a whistle. The hammer strikes the discs and so produces the ringing. THE PlNmm CURES ATTRACTM GREAT ATTESTIOS .4305(1 TIII.MIAG WOMEA. |p!lif/I iff) 1 I Mrs. Frances Stafford, of 243 E. 114 th St., N.Y.
