UMBRELLA HOLDER IS HANDY
Leaves Both Hands Free to Attend to
Other Things and Is Convenient
for Letter Carriers.
One of the things that has helped
the popularity of the raincoat is the
universal objection to carrying an um
brella. Indeed, people in some occu
pations find it impossible to carry um
brellas, and they will rejoice in the
supporter designed by an Indiana
than. Particularly will letter carriers
find it a convenience, as it will hold
an umbrella over their heads and
leave both hands free to get mail from
their bag and ring the doorbell. The

holder is attached to the user’s coat
and has a groove in it and hooks to
engage whatever enters the groove.
The handle of the umbrella is placed
in the groove and clamped fast, hold
ing the rain protector firmly above
the owner’s head. If the rain stops
the umbrella can be closed and car
ried in the holder ferrule down, thus
preventing it from being an encum
brance even then. Any person who
has bundles to carry would find one
of these devices useful. - :
DEVELOP PLATES IN CAMERA
Missouri Man Invents Contrivance En
abling User to Finish Pictures
Anywhere He Wishes.
In taking photographs while travel
ing or on vacation trips it is usually
‘macessary to bring all the plates or
.ims home for development, owing to
‘ack of darkroom facilities. A Mis
‘ouri man has circumvented this by
‘inventing a camera that is also a
dark room and the owner of which
can develop his plates practically any
where he chooses. The camera prop
er is of the bellows type and is set
in one end of a box much larger than
would be required to hold it. It rests
on a hinged door when extended. The
box has a plateholder in the front end,
but practically all of its interior is
clear and near the rear end is a win

dow of colored glass, covered by a
hinged flap. A flexible sleeve with an
elastic mouth is fitted into the rear
wall and the operator works through
this. With such an apparatus a pic
ture can be develaped outdoors im
mediately after it is taken.
Ventilating Fans Harmful.
. A test of ventilating fans in Brus
sels has shown that in many places
they do more harm than good by stir
ring up germ laden dust. In the res
taurants and cases investigated, the
number of bacteria in each cubic me
ter of air ranged from 10,000 to 22,000
before the ventilators were started,
from 17,000 to 48,000 after they had
been running an hour, and from 27,500
to 85,000 after two hours’ running. In
a laboratory where remedies for tu
berculosis were prepared, the bacteria
increased from 8,500 before the ven
tilator was started to 45,000 after one
hour’s running and 75,000 after two
hours’. In a private parlor the bac
teria numbered 650 before the starting
of the ventilator, 2,500 in one hour and
4,000 in two hours, and then—the ven
tilator being stopped—diminished to
700 in two hours.
Variation of Temperatures.
The variation of the temperature of
the water at the Equator and at the
Poles varies less than 10 degrees in
the course of the year, but between
these points the variation sometimes
reaches 40 degrees.
WONDERS OF MODERN CLOCK
Inventive Minds Shown in Ingenious
Make-Up of Some of Automatic
Timepleces Just Invented.
Grandfather’s clock is outdone. It
had ‘a calendar hand which told the
day of the month, algo the day of the
week. Sometimes a window was cut
in the upper part of the.dial through
which could. be seen a humanized
moon face slowly moving across the
opening and giving the phases of the
moon. In most cases if the calendar
mechanism was not out of order the
moon mechanism certainly was, and
in the evening one could rarely tell
which date it was because the hand
was about half way between.
The first of the month the calendar
hand had to be set for the correct
number of days—thirty or thirty-one
or twenty-eight. The modern calen
dar clock takes care of these matters
automatically. Every four years it
automatically adds another day to
February. It needs winding only once
a year,
Few persons consider the clock as
a plece of machinery, especially when
gotten up in the cheap forms which
are now so universal. But the prin
cipal clock buflders employ skilled en
gineers, electrical and mechanical,
whose inventive minds are shown in
the ingenious makeup of some of the
automatic clock devices which are be
coming more and more commercially
popular in the effort to provide uni
form standard time throughout the
country. If simultaneous actions in
different parts of -a large~ establish
ment are dependent upon the clock,
all the clocks in the different depart
ments must tell exactly the same
time. By the old way there were used
many high grade clocks, each expen
sive and even then liable to vary from
each other. The modern way is to in
stall one high-grade master clock,
which automatically regulates any
number of secondary clocks through
out the establishment, so that aH
exactly agree. !

LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Nowhere in Biblical Lore Can There
Be Found Intimation of Any
g . Other Idea.
We misjudge and distort the mnor
mally human nature of the Saviour
when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his “Inferno,” ‘with the shadows
of perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lord’s
pathway; there is no hint of such
& foreboding until we reach the mid
dle of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread
ful sense of the imevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion, why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
gense of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side of life; and, further
more, why did he produce so many
things and people to laugh at?—

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA
“While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, I became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years, when the affliction assumed the
form of an eczema ©on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be a solid sore. This con
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
“During all this time of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best phy
siclans of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to Try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, tak
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until I was
well again, and have not had a re
currence of the trouble since, which is
over twenty years. I have recom
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases.”

Law, Greenville, 0., Jan. 17, 1911.

Tuberculoisis Patients Neglected.
Out of more than 225 public hos
pitals for the insane, with a popula
tion of fully 150,000, only 70, or less
than one-third, make any provision
for their tuberculous inmates, and
this, too, in spite of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this disease
is very high among this class of peo
ple. Such is the substance of a state
ment made recently by the National
Association for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis. Seventy hos
pitals in 28 states, providing all told
about 3,350 beds for tuberculosis in
sane patients, sums up the provision
made for this class of sufferers, al
though the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among the insane ranges
from 50 to 200 per cent. higher than
among the general population.
