TIPPING HIS CUSTOMER- -
Fruit Stand Man Got an Idea How to
Change Big Bill.
The fruit stand keeper near the fer
ry slip had made a fairly large sale,
but when the customer handed him a
fire dollar bill his face becamo
gloomy,
"I can't change that," ho said.
"Well, get It ftru the ticket office,"
said the buyer; "and hurry, because
the boat will be Being out In a min
ute." The fruit seller took the bill and
went over to the ticket window. The
agent refused to change the bill and
said:
"I've refused yen a hundred times
before. I tell you I won't do it."
The stand keeper didn't want to
lose the sale and It looked as if he
was going to. Then an Idea struck
blm. )
"Here," he said to the buyer, "you
take the bill and buy your ticket with
it and I'll let you take It out of the
price of the fruit"
So the customer got his ride free.

There are in England 12 packs of
stag hounds, containing 295 couples;
four packs in Ireland, containing 100

Of fox hound packs there are 155 In
England and Wales, containing 6,239
couples; In Scotland, nine packs, with

Illuminated Projectiles.
The French navy has recently be
gun experiments with the luminous
shell employed for a year past In
America. These shells have a hollow
In the rear end containing fireworks
powder, which is Inflamed as the shell
quits the gun, and leaves a luminous
trail in the air, enabling the gunner
at night to follow the course of his
projectile, and determine whether or
not It reaches Its object. Without
some device of this kind it is very
difficult In firing over the sea in tho
darkness to ascertain whether the
range Is too long or too short. In the
daytime a Jet of water where the shell
falls tells the story.
Salt on the Moon?
At the June meeting of the Royal
Astronomical Society In London, Mr.
H. G. Tomklns offered a new explana
tion of the long-standing mystery of
the bright rays emanating from soma
of the so-called lunar craters. He
thinks that they may be caused by salt
efflorescence. To support his theory
he showed photographs of saline re
gions in India and elsewhere, and
maintained that there Is evidence of a
radial arrangement of terrestrial salt
districts.
Measure Strength of Oarsmen.
Mr. W. C. Marshall, of the Sheffield
Scientific School at Yale, has Invented
a pressure recorder which, when sub
stituted for the ordinary rowlock at
the end of the outriggers of a racing
shell, measures and registers the pres
sure exerted at every stroke of the
oar. The varying force of the strokes
during a long race can be ascertained,
and It 1b Intended to apply tho ma
chine In tho selection and training of
the university crews.
Alloys of Gold and Iron.
Iron and gold when melted together
may be mixed in various proportions,
and hardened or crystallized. Alloys
containing 10 per cent, of gold aro
harder than puro Iron, but as the pro
portion of gold Increases above that
amount, the" alloy fiecomos softer.
Silver and iron do not form alloys.

tise "this ground is mined." Many
geometrical figures and most of the
colors were iilized, and animal forms,
flowers and even the American Stars
and Stripes were employed to convey
their messages of information. The
minister of the interior got wind of
the system and orders were tele
graphed throughout France to destroy
these posters. Bouillon Kub therefore
is no longer advertised in France.
EXPERIMENTAL FARM
TO BE ESTABLISHED
An additional impetus has been
given the Lucas County fair to be
iield at the fair grounds September 7
to 11, by the Toledo Commerce club,
which has promised to bupport the
event faithfully, in an endeavor to ed
ucate the people of Toledo and vicin
ity in agricultural matters. It is the
intention of the Commerce Club to
establish an experimental farm in Lu
cas county, on the order of the farms
being established in other points of
the state, from which the farmer can
copy and learn how to make better
products and to command fancier
prices on them.
In accordance with this idea the
Commerce Club hasmade plans to
bring a lecturer from the Agricultur
al Commission of Ohio to the fair for
a daily lecture. The county fair this
year is expected to be bigger than
ever in all respects. Judging from
present indications it will be tne near
est approach to the old Tri-State
fairs of the '80's, when people from
all over Ohio, Indiana and Michigan
came to Toledo to see the exhibits.
As usual there will be all sorts of
farm exhibitions at the fair. The
usual number of free attractions will
also prevail. The midway, with its
raucous bankers, will be seen again as
usual. But the horse races will be of
a better brand, the Ohio State and
Michigan Short Ship circuits return
ing here for a second joint exhibition
during the fair week. Then there will
be a dog show, with entries from ev
erywhere. A better baby show will
attract unusual attention.
An automobile show, second only in
size to the regular auto show, will
likewise be in progress. At night the
gala event will be the horse show, the
different contests in the army classes
being judged each night before the
grand stund. On top of this will be
fireworks displays each evening.
NAPOLEON'S PROPHECY
"In a hundred years Europe will
be either all Cossack or all repub
lican." This was the prophecy of Napoleon
when the allied kings were carving a
new map of Europe after his down
fall. The hundred years have about
passed. Out of the clash of nations,
the prediction looms large. Will the
kings fight themselves out of a job?
Will the Slav dominate the continent ?

OUn HARDWOOD FORESTS.
Only n Limited Area to Supply tho
Constnntly Growing Demand.
It will bo remembered that thero
are no hardwoods on the Pacific
Coast. Except In a comparatively
small area In south-eastern Missouri
and Arkansas the hardwoods are not
known west of the Mississippi River,
while In the States north of tho
Ohio, where oak was formerly abun
dant, there Is none remaining to
day. In fret the principal source of
supply for these woods Is the very
limited area In the higher mountains
of western North Carolina, part of
Virginia, West Virginia, eastern
Tennessee and southeastern Ken
tucky, while from fifty times this
entile area In the remaining States
of the Union the demand Is constant
ly increasing.
Forest conditions In the Cumbei
land Mountains are far better than
In other portions of the United
States. The rainfall Is ample to se
cure most rapid growths. The soil
has not been eroded to such an ex
tent as to make renewals difficult.
An abundance of low growing
shrub and herbage keep the soil
cool and moist and maintain soft fer
tility, while much of the region con
tains a fine stand of tho more valua
ble oaks, hickories, poplar, hemlock
and walnut. The latter can be
quickly secured by supplying tho
seed.
A Rabbit-Exterminator.
Many a robin has been hunter
with salt, and many a rascal has got
rich by selling bug powder with ex
plicit directions to "take the bug be
tween the forefinger and thumb,
open his mouth, and drop In two
grains of the dust." Here is ts
newest Idea:
Australia, as Is well known, In la
fested with rabbits a most destruc
tive and multitudinous pest. Not
long ago a man Invented tho follow
ing plan:
You go out Into the field from
which the rabbits are to be removed, j
You saw down a tree, and on the
slant of the stump you paint a black
spot. Then you keep very quiet,
so that the rabbits will come back
from their burrows and feed as usu
al. When a large enough number has
collected, you clap your hands
sharply.
The effect will be electric. Tie
rabbits will jump In haste for their
burrows. At least one is sure to
mistake the black spot for his hole
and make for It. Invariably he will
dash his brains out. This process,
repeated often enough, Is warranted
to exterminate the rabbit forever.
The reports do not say whethei
there are any rabbits left In Aus
tralia. British Titles Claimed by Foreigner
An Interesting parallel in the
peerage of Scotland to the Barony
of Fairfax, the claim to which has
Just been decided, is the Newburgb
earldom, the holders of which have
for more than a century been Italian
nobles. In 1757 Cecilia, grand
daughter of Charlotte Maria, Coun
tess of Newburgh, became the wife
of Benedict, Prince GlustinlanI, and
In 1793 her son Vincent became de
jure the sixth Earl, although he did
not claim the title. Since that time
the Scottish peerage which was con
firmed by the House of Lords to Vin
cent's daughter has been distinctly
foreign and quite dissociated from
this country. On the death of the
third Baron Gardner the claimant to
the title was one Alan Hyde Gardner,
the son of a Mohammedan Princess
and the husband of an Indian wife.

Long Distance Piano Record.
The world's record for continuous
piano-playing has been broken by C.
W. Healy, who commenced playing a
piano at Prince's Court, Melbourne,
one evening at eight o'clock. Healy
played continuously until 10.30 at
night on the following Saturday even
ing a period of fifty and a half hours
and he has thus constituted a new
record, the longest time before this
having been forty-eight and a half
hours. During the performance Healy
sustained himself on beef tea and cho
colate. Antiquity of Bows and Arrows.
One curious result of the recent
study of the mural paintings and en
gravings on the walls of caverns in the
Pyrenees anciently occupied as dwell
ings by men, is the evidence which It
has afforded that bows and arrows
were already In use at that very early
period-.'" In a grotto at NIaux, bisons,
horses, deer and wild goats are repre
sented, and arrows are shown striking
Into many of the animals. Some of
the arrow-heads thus placed are col
ored red.
Transcendentalism.
Transcendentalism is the philoso
phy which finds all reality, not in tho
observation of external and objective
fact, but In the mind and its processes.
The word was first applied to the
teachings of Kant, but more specifical
ly and accurately afterward to those
of Schelllng and his followers, and In
America to the school of Emerson.

MACHINE TAKES
MINERS
Owners Wonder if New Epoch
in the Industry Mas
Arrived.
DEVICE
IS
"FOOL PROOF"
Invention of H. A. Kuhn Will Mean
a Saving of 50 Per Cent,
It Is Said.
Pittsburg, Pa. Has a .new epoch
come to the coal-mining Industry?
This was tho questiun in the minds
of numerous coal operators and olhers
Interested In coal mining na a day or
two since they watched tho operation
of the first practical coal-mining ma
chino a machine that has stood tho
test of months, being quietly operated
in one of the larger mines of the
Pittsburg district turning out, thou
sands of tons of commercial coal di
rect from the face of the coal seam,
placing the coal In pit cars and keep
ing men on the jump to get the load
ed cars out of the way when loaded.
For years such a machine has been
the dream of coal-mining companies.
It has been needed to solve the In
creasing problem of coal mining such
as mine disasters, increasing cost of
labor, the growing expenditures for
mine equipment, miners' homes at the
mines and countless other outlays, of
which the average citizen has little
realization.
The new mining machine Is the de
velopment of entirely new principles
in mechanical mining. It Is the pro
duct of H. A. Kuhn of Pittsburg, one
of the foremost mining and mechani
cal engineers of the Pittsburg district,
who has spent more than ten years
in clote application to the task which
he has at last completed, and in the
perfection of which he has expended
a fortune in development work. In
the early years of his experiments he
spent his time discovering fundamen
tals He sought a principle upon
whlcii a machine would work. He
mads this a success, and from it built
an economical, practical, cheap and
"foolproof" machine that does all the
work of the human miner only it does
this twenty times as fast and 50 per
cent, cheaper.
As the machine stands, it is a struc
tural steel frame, oblong in form,
which rents on a steering truck which
rides on the floor of the mine. It
carries motors for operating the cut
ting tools and the tools themselves,
and It attacks the coal seams In any
position, moving up and down, side
wise or in any direction the coal seam
leads. It also removes the roof, slate
when necessary. Electricity and com
pressed air can be used In operating
the motors, and so little powjr is re
quired that the cost for this, item is
less than 1 cent per ton of coal mined.
One peculiar feature of the machine
that impressed the spectator is that
it seems to be fully as flexible as the
human coal miner. It is estimated
that the machine will cut the cost of
mining in half. , ,
From the time the machine takes
the coal from the seam, cuts it, places
it on a conveyor and loads it in a pit
car, no human hand touches it. With
twenty ordinary laborers ten of the
machines will produce 1,000 tons of
coal a day, as but two men are needed
to operate a machine. Moro than this,
the machine cuts the coal cleanly from
the roof to the floor of the mine, leav
ing both as even as a billiard table,
and it takes out in excess of 90 per
cent, of the coal in tne ground; while
the best practice of to-day seldom goes
better than 75 per cent, of the coal,
the rest being lost because of the too
great effort to extract it.
Mr. Kuhn takes exception to the
idea that any miners will be thrown
out of, or, rather, left without em
ployment by the introduction of the
machines. He says that 40,000 addi
tional miners are required each year
in the United States to keep pace with
the growing demand for coal, due to
the increase In population, while 20,
000 miners, it is estimated, leave the
mines annually for other occupations,
thus making a demand for about GO,
000 new miners each year. It Is be
coming more and more difficult each
year to obtain the increase mine labor
required The Inventor believes that
his machine will replace this labor,
but only in the way of reducing the
number of new men, called upon to
enter the mines each year.
