Influence of rrealdent lirnnt and the

WOODEN DRILL PRESS.
Useful and Easily Made Machine For
the Farm Workshop.
The farm workabup aeldom baa
ninny tools, and iecliilly the more
expensive one are naturally mlaalog,
for the coat of a drill press or lathe I
entirely out of proportion to the
amount of work fur whlcb they would
tie needed on a farm. One farmer
solved the problem of drilling bole by
making a device, almost entirely of
wood, whlcb would eerr to drill any
bole that may be required on farm ma
chinery. The Illustration clenrly show It

on tho stirrup will tnnke the drill take
bold ultlclently, but If not the wedge
may be (truck wltb a hammer. A
moll rope provided to hold up tbe
wedge when they are not In nae.
The ipludle aud chuck la made of a
piece of tough wood, the smaller diam
eter being one and three quarter
Incbe and the larger or chuck end
two and three quarter Inches. Tula
allows a hnlf Inch flange, whlcb must
be well lubricated when using the
drill. A quarter lucb bole I bored for
the ahnnk of the bit; then a alot about
three-quarter of an Inch In depth Is
cut on cither aide of the hole. I'lecea
of a broken die are Inserted In the
hIoIh and a metal ferrule shrunk on
the outside of tho wood, ns shown In
A. The hole lu the chuck la either
mi u a ml or left round to lit the drill
that mny be on hand.
An Emergency Routtr.
Sometimes a curpeuter ou a repair
Job runs Into work where he could
use a router to advantage. Should
he have mine In hla tool box a router
la easily devised by taking tbe plnue
bit out of a aniall wood plane nud
using a nnrrow chisel Instead Het
the chisel edge to the right depth and
tighten the wedge Just a when ad
justing u bit, anil the router Is ready
for the work. It takes only a few
minutes to make the change, and this
emergency tool will do lietter work
than could be accomplished by cut
ting tho wood out with u vhlncl and
mullet.
Covering a Stovtpips Hoi.
The stovepipe hole In a chimney can
lie easily covered when the stove la re
moved for the summer by using an as
bestos stove mat lu the following
manner: Tho metal ring on the nint
Is removed nnd the nsbestos cut to tit
the hole. Pimte the asbestos on n
aiionre of muslin and allow both to
dry under a weight. Place the asbes
tos In the chimney hole nnd paste the
muslin tu the wall. Cast wall paper
over this. When It Is necessary to
open the hole cut iirouud the circle
nnd remove the asbestos.
Annual Cost of Panama Canal..
According to the estimates of. Pro
fessor Emory C. Johnson before the
senate committee on Interocennlc
canals, the total nnmiul cost of the
I'tinanm canal will be $:S1,W0.0(X. Of
this total Ill.ri00.000 will represent In.
terest on the money invested In con
struction. Sl3.tHKMHaj will lie Jhe cost
for the defense of the canal, and
$-l.."00,000 will represent the cost of re
pairs mid operation. As against this lie
floes; not expect the revenue from tolls
to exceed $1,000,000 for the Brst year.
Country Lacks Tin Deposits.
Tin Is one of the minerals In work-
Able deposits of which the United
States Is lacking. Our production lu
HUH wna valued at only S'.':t,447, nc
cording to the United States geological
survey, while our importations were

Washington. Nor. 18. - Hiedal.
Thuee person wltb pencil and paper
who are showing bow Tnft would hare
won If be had awcured the Itooaevelt
vote and who are blaming Itooaevelt
for Itepubllcnn defeat, also those who
are pointing out that Wilson la a "uil
uortty president" because be bud only
a plurality of the popular vote, should
tuke a few minute to consider another
phase of the recvot election.
KupHMe Itooaevelt had not been run
ulug and the race bad been between
Tnft and Wllaon, Isn't It more than
likely, lu view of the prevailing coudl
Ions during the campaign, that Wilson
would have received a large portlou of
the vote that went to Itixmevelt and
Hint a large proportion of the reuinlu
der would have stayed .way from the
'
W must remember thnt those who '
voted for itooaevelt were more biteuae
ly opposed to Tart than they were to
Wilson. Tbe Insurgent or progressive
wing of the Republican party was bit
terly hostile to Tart from the begin
ning of the campaign.
It Waa a Domooratio Yaar.
Considering tbe conditions from
every point or view It might aa well
be acknowledged that It wa a Demo
cratic year. There are many Progree
Ive who believe that bad Roosevelt
been nominated at Chicago by tbe Re
publicans be Would have been elected.
Uo might have saved a great many
congressional seats) and several sena
tors, but It is doubtful IT be could bare
defeated Wilson.
It should be remembered that tbe
factions or the Republican party rep
resented at Chicago bad two diverse
and distinct purHises. The men be
hind Tnft intended to defeat Roose
velt at all bainrds even If a Democrat
should be elected. The men Jiehlud
Roosevelt were no less determined to
dt-reat Tart The split In the Repub
lican ranks wa complete.
The Democrat felt assured of vic
tory loug before the conventions. Tbe

Will B Clark Again.
It seema hardly worth Baying, but in
view of the discussion It may be worth
while to any Hint Champ Clark will
continue to serve as sienker of the
houao. Even If the siienkershlp had
not been shorn of Its power and thnt
power transferred to tbe chairman of
the ways and menus committee Clark
would probably be re-elected. As It
now stands there Is not much mora
than tiie honor ami the Increased sal
ary to attract men to tho speaker's
liulr. It is no longer tbe second no-
sltlon of power In tbe government
Pslmsr and tho Cabinst
While cabinet makers are busy they
had better not overlook A. Mitchell
Palmer of Pennsylvania. Had. Penn
sylvania gone Democratic his selection
would have been assured, but even If
Roosevelt did carry the state the work
which Palmer bas done In the cam
paign, his clean record, his rapid rise
to prominence in politics aud, more
than all else, the Important part he
played In bringing about the nomina
tion of Wilson at Baltimore, ought to
mnlte him a member of tho new cabi
net. "Shot to Pieces."
Only three members of the Repub
lican minority on both appropriations
nnd ways nnd menus were left out of
the wreck of the lute election, Glllett
of Massachusetts, Good of Iowa and
Mondcll of Wyoming on appropriations
and Payne of New York, Fordney of
Michigan nnd Necdbnm of California
on wnys and means. These commit
tees seem to have been "shot to pieces."
Wilsons In Evidono.
This Is a Wilson year. Governor
Wilson is elected president "Tama"
Jim Wilson is rounding out a service
ns cnbluet officer of sixteen years, a
record which has never been equaled
and Is not likely to be In the future.
Ambassador Wilson la an Important
figure In the Mexican affair. Then
there wns the defeat of Congressman
Wilson of Pennsylvania, who became
o prominent ns a Inuor lender In the
house. And a snd thing was the death
of former Senator Wilson of Washing
ton.' A Total Loss.
Every Republican member of the
house Judiciary committee was defeat
ed, either in the primaries or at the
election. Whoever Is the minority
lender will have lots of room for law
yers In the Republican party who de
sire to serve on that committee. It Is
quite probable that the Democrats will
Increase their membership on nil the
committees owing to the large majority
they will have in tbe bouse after the
4th of March,
IRON OF THE AfiCIENTS.
Polar In India Ha Stood Rustless For
Conturies.
On the pluhia of I'elhl. In India,
there stands a maiMlve Iron pillar,
nearly sixty feet In length and weigh
ing about nineteen loua. This ancient
column la literally a monument to th
"antiquated" proceaaee and Dietiillur
glsla that produced It. for It has re
sisted the attack of tbe element dur
ing a period of about 2.1)00 years. In
whkh fully a million time lu bulk
of Iron or ateel baa crumbled Into use
less dust No one would auggest tbnt
civilized man return to the primitive
aud laborluiia method by which tbe
Iron of tbla column was mado ao long
ago, aud besides, there are not men
euougb living today to supply our
present demand even If all of them
bonld engage In this type of manu
facture; but. granting that the world
would pay for a limited amount of
Iron a -pnaalve" a till old Kutub
pillar. It la very doubtful wuetber
modern Ironworker know bow to
make It
Probably tbla (iMKlmeo of unusual
iron la the reault of accident rather
than design, aa far aa It resisting
qualities are concerned, and It atand
today the survival of the fittest, not
o much because It wa Intended to
be, us because It proved to be the
most lasting, for It I not likely that a
proces known to give iron of this
kind would ever have been used so
seldom, since the Importance of a rost
resisting Iron and steel waa as much
appreciated In those days a now. No
doubt all the older processes made

Seasoning Wood by Electrioity.
The following Item from a British
technical prper concerns a new pro
cess of Reasoning wood by electricity
In France:
A large tank Is filled with a solution
containing 10 per cent of borax and 5
per cent of resin, with Just a trace of
carbonate of soda. In the bottom of
the tank is a lend plate which ts elec
trically connected to the positive pole
of tho dynamo. The timber to be
trented is stacked on this plate, and
when the tank has been filled another
plate is superimposed nnd connected to
the negative pole of the dynamo.
When the current Is switched on it
passes through the atnek of wood be
tween the two plntes, nnd In Its pas
sage It Is said to drive out the sap In
the timber and deposit borax and resin,
in its place, completely filling up all
pores and Interstices. When the proc
ess 1r completed the timber is re
moved and dried, after which it is
ready for use. It is claimed thnt the
timber submitted to this treatment, no
matter how green It may be, becomes
completely seasoned.
Gaaolin Tool Car For Railways.
The Chicago and Rock Island rail
road Is using a gasoline car to convey
men and tools to any point where re
pairs or construction work are needed.
The car not only transports tools and
men, but supplies the necessary power
for operating electric tools. A thirty
horsepower four cylinder four cycle
gasoline engine drives a generator
which supplies power for operating
ilectric tools. These tools are two
I'octric spike screwing machines, six
electric drills, one electric saw for
rails and portable emery wheels. The
ear can carry eight to ten men and
any reasonable equipment of tools.
Liquid Slag From Producers.
At the experiment station of the
United Stntcs bureau of mines. Pitts
burg. Pa., trial runs have been mnde
with a gas producer using coke as
fuel, with which limestone has been
mixed In varying proportions, the pur
pose being to dux the nsh and form a
liquid sing, thus avoiding clinker and
ash troubles and consequent shut
downs. ,
