Miss Fern Tilton, of Rensselaer, is the teacher. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Welsh will leave tomorrow for a trip to the PanAmerican exposition at San Francisco. They will go over the Canadian Pacific and return by way of Salt Lake City. They will be gone six weeks or two months. They will visit relatives in Oregon and California while away. Judge Hanley, of the juvenile court, today made an order that the Fross children, of Hanging Grove township, should remain in the custody of their father until their mother is discharged from Longcliff. There had been some talk of placing the oldest daughter, aged 13, in some other home, but this order of the court will allow the child to remain at home with her father. Ike Stevenson, of Parr, who lost an ear in an accident near DeMotte a few weeks ago, had another narrow escape two miles north of DeMotte Sunday. With two others he was in an automobile, which left the road and overturned, pinning the occupants under the car in a ditch. Stevenson was badly bruised but the other two occupants escaped injury. A neighbor of Mrs. Millard Fross, of Hanging Grove township, who was recently declared insane and committed to the asylum, was in The Republican office yesterday and said that she wished to correct the statement that the neighbors considered Mrs Fross unsafe. She said that she was one of their nearest neighbors and that Mrs. Fross never gave them any trouble, but that she remained at home most of the time and that she considered her a good neighbor, a* did all those living near her. A. Halleck and family finished a delightful automobile trip Saturday night During the trip they visited South Bend, Ind., and Grand F\'pids, Mich, and from there went to North Paris, where the fish hatcheries are.

Penal Farm Sentence is Suspended By Court.

Monticello Journal. Walter Archer was brought before Judge Wasson this morning charged with stealing zinc from the Monon railway. He had pleaded guilty to the charge before E. G. Smith, in the justice court, and was bound over,to the circuit court for trial. Judge Wasson sentenced the boy to the state penal farm and fined him $1 and costs. He was ordered to pay back to the railroad the money obtained from .the sale of the zinc, and promised to attend church and Sunday school every Sunday. Owing to Archer’s good reputation and the fact that this was his first offense, the sentence to the penal farm was suspended.

A Few Scraps. It is significant that in the matter of tempering steel we are no further advanced than our ancertors of some 5,000 years ago. Recent experiments have shown that it is possible for the X-ray to find flaws within metal that appears on the surface to be sound. Camphor production from leaves having passed the experimental stage in Formosa, government has planted large areas in trees. (Berlin scientists have invented a nourishing yeast, containing more than 50 per cent albumen, prepared from sugar and ammonium sulphate. When his employers forced a vacation on Martin Vredenburgh, of New York, who for 20 years had refused that privilege, he jumped overboard ftom a pleasure steamer. The charge of rape sensationally made against Wesley Chatham, of Oxford, by Gladys Nichols, 14 years old, was dismissed by Justice Stephenson on motion of the prosecutor.

Closely related bo yeart, fungi discovered in breweries by a Japanese scientist have been found to dye silk a beautiful rose color, but to be harmless when used in the manufacture of beer. The report of the first census is contained in an octavo volume of 56 pages. Nowadays, in a decade, the census bureau issues 100 or more quarto volumes, with more than 40,000 pages. A watch crystal of celluloid which has just been patented can be made at a cost greatly below that of glass, and is also cheaper in the respect that it will lart much longer. It gives the same protection to the timepiece. Peter the Great, founder of modern Russia in 1698, himself cut off the beards of all the great men of his court. That marked the introduction in his emfpire of western progress. It is analogous to the recent abolition of the queue in China. , The flag of the United Kingdom, commonly known as the British flag, is the official flag of the whole empire, though, of course, the various provinces have their ftaglets, jurt as some States of the American Union have theirs, while Old Glory flies over all. Although there is no written history of the earliest bulk oil earner, the Chinese Newchang junk, originally built for the carriage of water in bulk, and afterward used for oil, must be among the earliest examples of this class of vessel. Vanillin is the active principle whidh makes vanilla ice cream so popular. Tt occurs in the roots of oats and the leaves and roots of a number of plants. It has been found to be poisonous to clover, wheat, cowpeas and other plants. Engineers say that among the things that will never be settled are the following: Whether a long screwdriver is better than a short one of the same family; whether water wheels run faster at night than they do in the daytime; the best way to harden steel; which side of the belt dhouM run next to the pulley, and the right way to lace belts.

MENTAL SPECULATOR INSPIRES A GENIUS

Something That May Revolutionize the Pie Service—Electric Pio Counter “Why is it?* asked the man who likes to speculate on things, “that people in eating pie Invariably begin at the point of the piece of pie—at the apex of the triangle, bo to speak—and then work back to the crust? Tvo never yet seen a person that did not eat pie in this way, and everyone appears to dd it instinctively. “Just pause for a moment and consider the Innumerable pieces of pie that are eaten in the United States, in the world, in the course of a year. That means an innumerable number of useless motions of arms, hands and Angara, not to mention unconscious brain effort, in turning those pieces bow on. If statistics were gathered I have no doubt that the world’s annual pie-turning motion would foot up into thousands of horse power. ‘Tn these days of efficiency, why, I ■nV, should that immense amount of energy be thrown aways It shouldn’t and won’t be, says an Inventive genius. This handy gentleman is already at work on plans for a restaurant lunch counter that blds fair to revolutionize the various systems now in vogue in the pie emporiums of our country. He proposes to have the cuts of pies served on special plates, or discs, which are a part of the to-be-patented lunch counter. By a system of electric wires connected with a large cloiklike register on the wall of the restaurant the Inventor proposes to impart a small amount of electric force to this receptive clock, and form it Into a storage dynamo that forms a large part of the wall apparatus. Now, while the genius admits that the amount of elctrlclty produced by a few turns of a pie plate Is infinitesimally small, still, he argues, and he generally knows whrt he is talking about if others do not, the thousands of revolutions and partial revolutions evolved as many thousands nil turning and eating pie at the same tim-, during the same hour, and, as in crowded cities, three times a day, the combined result must be eno-gh electric force to light, heat, operate the kitchen utensils and record the num ber of pie orders delivered in the res taur-mt during the entire twenty-four hours of business, if the place Is run on the “open all night” plan. Besides, the revolutions of the stools may be utilized if necessary, says the same inventor.

INVENTS BUTTONLESS SHIRT

Merely Pulling a String Secures the Garment In Place. What some laundries do to the masculine shirt is not always good, but in many cases it is plenty, and, as the German states it, “a blenty is somedimes too much already." One might be led to think that the mangling machine was designed exclusively for the attack of the buttons which it has so successfully vanquished. It was probably an ingenious bach elor who Invented the buttonless shirt Such has been recently Invented and patented. It has the additional advantage that It Is very easy of divesting oneself of the garment as well as to get Into it The means of fastening consists of a cord which is passed in and out many eyelet holes in the neckband and front opening. After one’s head has been passed through the opening, the mere pulling of a string secures the garment in place, and the mere tying of a knot in front holds it secure until It is desired to cut loose from it. The string is then released and the shirt is easily passed over the head.

NEW LOCK FOR AUTOMOBILES

Shuts Off Flow of Gasol Ins and Makes Theft Impossible. ' A “gasoline lock,” which shuts off the flow of gasoline into the carbu reter of an automobile and makes the stealing of a car practically an impossibility, has been invented. It is a small and simple contraption that fits any car. When locked, the only gasoline that can be used is that which happens to be left in the carbureter.

Clerks on Roller Skates

One of the latest ideas for saving, time is being tried out by a big merchandise house of Dallas, Texas. Clerks who fill orders in the shipping department are equipped with roller skates. The managers say that the skates are proving very satisfactory, as a clerk can do twice as much work when on them and the work is much, easier, since the clerk is not walking all the time. John A and James M. Harvey of Junction City, Kan., have invented a hay and grain stacker that is a great labor saver. The machine is d riven by a gasoline engine and is so constructed that it deposits the material at any desired place on the stack. The stack is built easily and settles so evenly that it sheds water better than when stacked by old methods. The old belief that the age of a rattlesnake can be told by the number of his rattles is wrong, as also Is the belief that a deer's span of life is accurately recounted by the number of points on his antlers. Scientists have found that the largest rattler may have few rattles and a small snake twice the number of the big one. Careful study has shown that the points of a deer's antlers have no bearing what ever on his age. To prevent shoe laces from becoming untied a New York inventor has patented small metal clasps to be fastened to the tops of shoes to hold thalr

War Spectacle Draws 20,000 AV Speedway.

“War in Indiana” was fought before a crowd estimated at 20,000 at the speedway in Indianapolis Monday afternoon. M company, of Rensselaer, was part of the Red Army which was on the defensive behind the trenches. They were on the losing side and were forced to fall back when the fire became too heavy. To the thousands who attended the spectacle was a revelation, something that had never been their fortune to witness before. Spectators were unanimous in their praise of the '♦war” and of the splendid management of details. Members of the general committee of the Indianapolis armory building association looked with favor upon the idea of making the spectacle an annual affair in Indianapolis, probably to be given July 4th.' The grand parade opened the eyes of many persons to the character, personnel and equipment of the Indiana National Guard.
