CONTRACTS TO FURNISH TO
FURNISH SEVERAL HUN
DRED OF THAT NUM-
BER.
NEWNAN’S SCHOOL TO THE
FRONT.
The Southern Is the South’s Foremost
Telegraph School and One of the
Best In the United States.
Professor F. P. Johnson of the
Southern Telegraph School was In At
lanta Thursday to meet several prom
inent railroad officials.
The new law that requires telegraph
companies to put on a man for every
nine hours work will go into effect next
January and it is estimated that 10.-
SOO men will be needed to satisfy the
demand in the south and west.
Professor Johnson agreed to furnish
and get ready 300 of this number. The
salaries will run from fifty to one hun
dred dollars per month. Many of these
positions can be filled by ladies and
it is thought a great many girls will ,
turn their attention to telegraphy in
stead of stenography as the work is
much lighter and the pay much bet- 1
ter. - '
As a result of this unusual contract
to furnish so many operators in so
short a time, Professor Bowden and
Johnson are making a .splendid propo
sition to all who wish to work for a
good salary another year. The regular
fifty-five dollar scholarship that has
never been cut down since the school
was established several years ago la
now being offered at S3O for life schol
arship, Including all books, stationery,
anj positions guaranteed.
New students are coming in nearly
every day and It seems now that Pro
fessors Bowden and Johnson will fill
their contract to furnish the 300 oper
ators to one road. Other roads are
> wanting similar contracts. The rail
roads recognize the splendid equip
ment of this school and want all the
students It turns out. Several students
left this week for good jobs. — New

THE NEW BRITISH PREMIER.
agSitil^
? & $ $ MmMw
. .. ?
RT. HON. HERBERT HENRY ASQUITH.
The new hand at the helm of state in Great Britain is that of a law
yer, the first since the days of Pitt. Mr. Asquith is the twenty-sixth
Premier since the beginning of the nineteenth century. He is a Yorkshire
man by birth, in his fifty-sixth year, an Oxford scholar, of whom Dr. Jowett
once remarked: “I never knew his equal for trenchancy and force.” It
is believed that Mr. Asquith, following the precedent set by Sir Robert Peel
in 1842 and 1845, will introduce the budget, thus superseding the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, as Peel superseded his Chancellor.
Attachment For Pitchers.
A peculiar and unique invention
just patented is shown in the illustra- ;
tion below. This drip cup was de
signed to provide a simple means of
preventing the contents of pitchers :

and similar vessels having a dis- :
charge spout trickling on the table or
on whatever object they happen to be
placed. The drip cup is secured to
the receptacle beneath the spout.
Steel Belting.
Consul Frank S. Hannah, of Mag- ■
deburg, writes that in a recent issue i
of a German technical paper, the use
of steel bands to take the place of
leather belting for the transmission
of power is stated to have proved
practicable after repeated tests by
a firm in Charlottenburg, its advan
tages being given as follows:
The points of superiority claimed
for this new method for the trans
mission of power are the following:
On account of its solidity s. much
narrower band can be used, one
sixth of the width of the use of
leather band being sufficient; as a
result of this the steel band is not
so heavy as the usual band, and, as
it can be very tightly adjusted, the
distance between the engine and the
machine is not a matter of impor
tance, as is the case with the leather
belting, where the transmission of
power is dependent upon the weight
of the hanging belt; by a unique con
tact, the slipping is much reduced,
experiments showing not over one
tenth of one per cent. The entire
loss of power is very small, about one
per cent. By the lightness of weight
of the steel belting, the influence of
the centrifugal force is not so great,
allowing increased velocity.
Americans Fond of Oysters.
According to the United States bu
reau of statistics, it appears that the
production of oysters in the United
States exceeds 16,000,000 bushels
per annum.
Oklahoma, although the youngest
State, has ninety-three Catholic
churches in the care of seventy-six
priests.

From Brooklyn Life,
Amoosin’ Lecture by A. Ward.
“I haven’t distinguished myself as
an artist,” Artemus Ward said, “but
have always been mixed up in art. I
have an uncle who takes photographs
in his sane moments, and I have a
servant who takes everything he can
lay his hands on at any moment.
“At a very tender age I could draw
on wood. When a mere child I once
drew a small cart-load of raw tur
nips over a wooden bridge. It was
a raw morning. The peddle of the
village recognized me. They said it
was a raw-turnip drawing. That
shows how faithfully I had copied
nature. I drew their attention to it,
so you see there was a lot of drawing
in it.
“The villagers, with the wonderful
discernment peculiar to villagers, said
I had a future before me. As I was
walking backward when I made my
drawing, I replied that I thought my
future must be behind me.”—Youth’s
Companion.
