In some buildings of a semi-pub lic nature in which revolving doors are installed, as hotels and stores, they keep a man at the entrance to help operate the door for the greater convenience and comfort of persons entering and leaving the building. This man starts the door in motion, thus making it easier for the person entering to push the rest of the way. But the attendant, according to his natural strength or his mood at the moment, may start the door swiftly or slow! , thus hurrying or retarding the incomer. And then on a personally operated door one man in the door, impatient, may push the door fast and bang the leaf in front of himself against the heels of the man in the compartment ahead, making him peevish. All these variations and un certainties in the movements of the door are eliminated by operating it with an electric motor. The electrically operated revolving door has a motor attached to the up per end of the shaft from which the leaves extend. The motor is quite out of sight above the horizontal sheathing at the top of the doorway. From the motor and also quite out of sight wiring extends to a push but ton set in the wall at the side of the doorway within the building, where the door attendant stands. With a door thus equipped there Is no reaching out and grabbing a leaf and pushing or pulling on it to start IL The attendant simply presses the button and so turns the current into the motor, and the motor does the rest, starting the door gently and then keeping it going with a motion that is steady and uniform. WIRELESS TELEPHONE IS OLD Instrument Was Devised and Operated by Inventor Bell Thirty-One Years Ago. In 1879, long before the day of the Hertzian wave and modern wireless telegraphy, Alexander Graham Bell de vised and operated a “wireless tele phone.” Starting with Clerk Max well's electro-magnetic theory of light, he undertook to impress phonetic dis turbances upon the light waves and reproduce them in a telephone re ceiver by means of a bit of selenium, which has the remarkable property of changing its resistance to an electric current when under the* influence of light, says Popular Electricity. A cell made of two narrow strips of annealed selenium attached to a block of brass alters its resistance from 300 to 150 ohms when brought from darkness into the sunlight. A beam of bright light was directed upon the surface of a silvered mica diaphragm which reflected*- it to a parobolic mirror at the receiving sta tion. Here the light was again re flected by the inner surface of the mirror so that it converged through a lens upon a small selenium cell at the focus of the mirror, and in series with a battery and the telephone re ceiver. As the voice waves of the sender impinged upon the silvered diaphragm is vibrated to and fro, altering the amount of re'flected light according as it became convex or concave toward the receiver. With each variation of the intensity of the transmitted light the selenuim cell or “detector” offered a corresponding variation in its resist- f // TT First Wireless Telephone. ance to the receiver current; and since each variation of current causes a sound in the telephone, the voice of the sender , was accurately reproduced. At first the apparatus was called a "photophone,” but it was afterwards found that when a black solution of lodine In carbon blsulphate was placed in the path of the beam of light the In strument would still work, for though the solution is quite opaque to all light visible to the eye the long, in visible infra-red rays pass through un hindered. From this circumstance the name was changed to “radio-phone.” Os course with the old arrangement speech could not be transmitted over any considerable distance, but that is because the wave length used was too short to penetrate many obstacles and too refrangible to maintain its indi viduality in. the presence of inter ference. Electric Automatic Typewriter. The electric automatic typewriter of the Berlin police has added to the strenuousness of the burglars’ profes sion. By means of this instrument a robbery at one station can be followed up within two or three minutes by the printing and posting up at all stations in the city and suburbs of notices de scribing the thieves or giving such in- Jormation as may be available.

HARNESSING FOR WIND POWER English Scientist Lost Energy Blow ing Over London Equal to Half- Million Horsepower. An English scientist estimates that if the wind blowing over London to a height of 500 feet could be harnessed it would do work equivalent to that of a steam engine of half a million horsepower, working day and night. Wind turbines can be used Tor many purposes, are simple to erect, and do not usually require towers more than 50 feet high. In Germany a wind power electric generating equipment has been brought out. No attention is needed except to reduce the sail arena of the wind wheel in storms. A storage battery holds the excess current from the dynamo until need ed, and a special regulator automatic ally keeps at constant pressure the current supplied for house lighting or driving small farm or other machines. ELECTRICAL NOTES. A tiny electric device is now used to test the action of the heart. Carborundum, the product of the electric furnace, is the hardest sub stance known. Germany now leads the world in the number of electric furnaces for smelt ing, refining and casting. The government posts and telegraph administration controls all wireless tel egraph stations in France. Weighing less than fifty pounds, an electrically-driven machine has been invented for scrubbing floors. Ranking next to the sun’s rays in stimulating and germicidal effects are the rays from electric lights. To take up the strain more evenly a Swedish inventor has produced elec tric cables with hempen cores. Coal is so scarce in Siam that gas is not used for illumination, and the only city using electricity is Bangkok. In the canal zone it is the custom to keep electric lights burning inside pi anos to prevent the wires rusting. Ten huge searchlights, to cost $139,- 000, are to be installed on the fortifica tions at the entrance to Manila bay. Wireless telegraphy has driven car rier pigeons from the ships of the French navy after many years of serv ice. English telephone subscribers do not look for any betterment of the service when the government takes possession next year. To guide airships which get above clouds at night It Is planned in Ger many to send up balloons containing electric lights. Two of Brazil’s waterfalls will be utilized to furnish power for a 400-mlle electric railroad that will develop now inaccessible iron ore deposits of much wealth. As the motor of an aeroplane makes too much nbise for an aviator to hear anything else, a French army officer has Invented a telephone for a pas senger to use to talk to him. SUFFERED FIFTEEN YEARS. How Chronic Kidney Trouble Wai Permanently Cured. F. P. Semmel, Sr., 236 N. 6th St., Lehighton, Pa., says: "For over 15 years I suffered from kidney trouble. My kidneys were weak; the secre- tlons contained sedi ment and passed with a smarting sensation. Sharp pains shot through my body and bent me almost double, jl became so bad I could not drive to my work. After doctoring wlthout benefit, I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and soon received relief. Continued use cured me. I believe Doan’s Kidney Pills saved my life.” Remember tbe'name —Doan's.

My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insides for over a year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that I could not sleep and could do but little work. They were so bad that I could not dress myself In the morning. They w'ould bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. About a year ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and In one week from the time I began to use them my hands were all healed up and they have not been a mite sore since. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies. “They also cured a bad sore on the hand of one of my neighbor’s children, and they think very highly of the Cuti cura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So. Ef ingham, N. H., Mar. 5, and Apr. 11, ’09.” May Sell 100,000,000 Red Cross Seals. Twenty-five million Red Cross Christmas seals have been printed and are being distributed by the Amer ican Red Cross, and arrangements nave been made to print 100,000,000 if necessary. It is expected that this number will be needed. While the sticker is perforated like those used last year, It is intended for use only as a seal on the back of letters. The seal is one inch square with the con ventional Red Cross in the center and the words, "Merry Christmas, Happy Ndw Year. American Red Cross” In a circle about it. The col ors are red and green. The design is by Mrs. Guion .Thompson, of Water bury, Conn., who received SIOO as a prize for her sketch. The Place of Honor. Farmer Hodge was of the good, old fashioned school, and he always gave a feast to his hands at harvest time. It was harvest time and the feast was about to commence. Giles was the oldest hand and the hostess, with beaming cordiality, mo tioned him to the seat by her right hand. But Giles remained silently un responsive. "Come,” said the hostess, "don’t be bashful, Mr. Giles’’—he was just Giles on ordinary occasions—-"you’ve a right to the place of honor, you know.” Giles deliberated a moment, then spoke. "Thank you kindly, Mrs. Hodge,” he said, "but if it’s all the same to you, I’d rather sit opposite this pud den’l” Poor Prospects. "Yes,” said Miss Passay, "I found a very nice boarding house today, but the only room they had to offer me had a folding bed in it, and I detest those things.” "Os course,” remarked Miss Pert, "one can never hope to find a man under a folding bed.” —Catholic Stand ard and Times.

No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs, which im pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is week or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man “doesn't feel just right,” when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. ' Such a man should tree Dr. Pierce’a Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.
