The plants which are on the market at present have Only thirty lights but the Delco company expects to have on the market by July 1 a new plant equipped with one hundred and fifty lights. With ono of these plants the rural resident or suburbanite can enjoy all of the luxuries and advantages which the electrical companies bring to his city brothers and at no greater expense.

Two i torn are hinged to the chambers whict pumped out and the chambers and poi NEW YORK, June 11?The wealth'! of shipping sent to the bottom of the ocean by German U-boats may yet be 1 saved. _ ' An invention Is being tried out oa a ! river near here with the purpose of perfecting it and making it suitable , for deep sea salvage work. It is call- ' ed a port&ble submarine fort and Is . the Idea of Carl J. Lingqulst. What makes engineers and shipping ( men here believe the millions of tons i of shipping may yet be reclaimed Is the simplicity of design and apparent 2 practicability of thi3 submarine fort ? Llngqulst has tested it under all con- < dltions he has thought possible and 2 says it has worked to his satisfaction. t The tort is a massive double steol t chamber built in sections, so it may s be adjusted to different depths. At the t base of the chamber is the end of a : pontoon pr flat bottom, which is hlng- t ed, so that the chamber may rest lengthwise on the pontoon when not i working. In this way the fort is towed ten feet in depth and lined with water proof Sheeting will be built and will practically cover the entire roof. The ] work is being done by Holbert and Spedden and when completed will 1 greatly facilitate the work of the (ac tory as it will enable them to have on ' hand at'all times a great quantity of cool water for use in the plant. Work is now going on at full swing In the new blacksmith shop of the' Hel mick foundry. The equipment from 1 the shop In the old building has been 1 moved into the new and the room In 1 the old building is being prepared tor 1 foundry work. ? i The First American Indians. |( Aconrdtnn- to Keith, the American I Indian In all his varieties, Is a descend- J ant from the primitive Mongolian type. There Is a theory advanced by Payne that In some remote period the progen- 1 ltor of the Indian came to this contl- , nent from Asia over a bridge of land that existed In prehistoric times where the Behring sea now Is. Another theory, championed by Dawkius find j Brlnton, assumes thnt the originals of < our native stocks came from Europe, I probably by way of Iceland. 1 Not Always.
