The Daylight Stcre
From We?nsdays Dally.
All of us, to a greater or lesser ex
tent, cherish the hope that some day
Ave may visit those distant lands which
in our fancy have beckoned us, and as
time passes we long more and more
for the time when, by some happy
break of luck, we may journey to
where the far horizon calls. And so
when months and years pass and still
cur "ship has not come in" we wel
come all the more the splendid oppor
tunity offered semi-annually by
Howe's Tiavel Festival, which comes
to the Parmele theater on Tuesday
:iijjrht, November 20, to gratify our de
sire. Alli'rinpr indeed is the itinerary
which lias been arranged for "Howe
travelers" on this occasion. For it
includes not only a visit to both Cali
fornia expositions through the Pana
ma canal, but after "seeinpr America
first"' pictorial excursions will also be
made to foreign shores to the play
grounds of Paris, the world famous
Bois de Coulogrne, the garden in the
Champ de Mars, the Park Monceau,
etc., also to picturesque Holland and
the isles of Zuyt'.er Zee; to Bruprcs,
Belgium; to a hip: rteel plant in
France; to the Trollhattan Falls.
Sweden. Then too. there will be a
i ide on a U. S. submarine, besides en
tirely new animated cartoons.

There was a larjre number of the
residents of this city present last
even in jt at the concert priven by Geral
tiine Farrar at the Auditorium in
Omaha, and the noted soprano thrill
ed everyone with the beauty of her
voice, and the selections piven em
braced a wide ranjre of music. Among
J those from this city to enjoy the con
cert were: Mrs. J. A. Donelan an!
I daughter, Miss Margaret; Mrs. Annie
Britt, Miss Dora Fricke, Miss Mia
CJeripfr, Miss Barbara Gering, Miss
Julia Hermann. Miss Gretchen Don
nelly, Mrs. A. K. Gass and lautrhter.
Miss Lucille, Miss Vcrna Cole, Miss
Eda Marquardt, Mr. and Mrs. E. H.
Wescott.
"The Birth of a Nation," which, with
its immense symphony orchestra, its
effect, etc., is now in its -second week
i.t the Brandei.s theater, Omaha, where
it will run indt linitely, is a wonderful
niitl spectacular f.lm diama of the
Civil war and of the reconstruction
c'ays which followed. The battle
sceres are marvelous for realism, all
set forth as faithful reprodutcions of
tntrajj-emeiits which took place during
the memorable struggle of half a cjii
lury ago. Of no less importance s:e
the scenes of statecraft, particularly
those which involve the. activities of
Abraham Lincoln, which character is
depicited in a most life-like manner.
Griffith has long been . conceded first
place as the most ingeidus and daring
producer, and in '"The Birth of a Na
tion" he has surpassed all his previous
attempts and sit a standard that will
long be observed.
The story of friend set against
friend by war, of homes wrecked,
hearts biokm and love turned to hate,
is one that is impressive, powerful an 1
beautiful. It has such exceptional ap
peal that many patrons per.d written
testimonials of their appreciation. The
reproduction of Sherman's famous
march to the sea is regarded as a
masterpiece, while the last t.tand a.
Petersburg has been described as tho
greatest battle scene of its kind ever
staged. The rides of the Ku KIux
Glan that figured in the cause of jus
tice in the reconstruction of the souih
after the war, bringing order out of
chaos, are pictured with startling ef
fect. A special symphony orchestra of
foity pieces adds greatly to the en
joyment of the performance.
Two performance are given daily,
matinees at 2:1.) and evenings at :ir,
and the performance lasts two hours
: nd fortv-five minutes.

From Wednesday's lillv
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of
the St. Mary's Guild were entertained
in a very pleasant manner by Mrs. E.
V. Cook and .Airs. J. V. Peters at the
( ook home on Vine street. The after
roon was spent in sewing and the
ladies spent several hours in making
many articles for use at the bazaar
of the Guild, which will be held in this
city on Friday and Saturday, Decem
ber 10 and 11. and the prospects are
that this will be one of the most suc
cessful affairs of its kind that has he on
held here in recent years, as the ladies
are making every effort t; make it a
most complete success. At a suitable
hour dainty and delicious refreshments
were served, which added greatly to
the pleasures of the afternoon.

SCIENCE INVENTION.
Stove Coal In Demand.
Stove and chestnut sizes of .mthra
tU coal are In the greatest demand
and iuake up over -JO I'er cent of the
total shipments from the mines. They
are essentially domestic sizes, and the
relatively large proportion they make
of the shipments serves as an index to
the conditions governing t he aiit lira i;?
trade. Egg coal funis its way princi
pally to the furnaces of residences,
and pea coal is ued in the same way
to some extent. t!rtngli It is also ned
for kitchen ranges, and some of it goes
with the buckwheat and smaller sizes
for use as steam coal. The same sizes
conn? directly into competition with
bituminous coal and are souk tiin-s
lised nixed with bituminous coal for
generating steam, chictly in hotels,
apartment houses and !l-i-e buildings.
Tinted States Geological Snrvv.
Construction Too Permanent.
A very good illustration of the fact
that construction can at times he too
permanent 'an le found in the cac T
ati English railroad between London
ami I.iverj 1. which was built many
years ago ami was laid out with the
intention of tiding only small freight
cars with a ten ton capacity limit, says
the Engineering Magazine. Owing to
the fact that all cuts, tunnels, bridges,
etc. were made so permanent by us
ing masonry and stone con! ruction
throughout the cost of rebuilding the
road later on was so great .'is to make
it I rohi'iitive. Today the freight rates
between these two cities, a distance of
approximately :o miles, is nearly
twice that charged between New York
and Chicago, a distance of alnnt
l.OOt) miles.
Re-enforcing a Loose Steering Post.
A loose steering post on an old auto
mobile truck was re-enforced in tli-
following manner: A piece of flat stool
stock one:iiid one-half indies by three
rlghths inch in cross section was an
nealed arid then forged into the proper
shape and diaieiisions, as shown. says

B II Art: FOR STEERING l'OST.
Popular Mechanics. This was slipped
over the steeling post ami clamped t
it by means of a three eight In inch
screw and nut. The base ia turn was
fa-toned to the steel dash with suit
able screws. This siipixuted the steer
ing po-t at two points and consequent
ly made it very rigid.
Iron Pipe and Steel.
Viewing impartially all of the data
presented so far. there seems to be
little to choose between wrought ir 'U
and sietl pipe, on the whole, as re
gards th. ir resistance to corrosive in
tlcences, but one point may he men
tioned with reference to the niaiaier
in which these materials corrode. With
steel the rusting takes place more or
less uniformly over tho surface, white
wrought iron shows a decided inclina
tion i.i form deep pits. That this is a
dangerous tendency can hardly be
doubted. To paraphrase an old saying,
a pipe wall is no stronger than its
thinnest spot. Then-fere t the exti nt
in which w rought iron exhibits this do
feet in greater measure than steel it
may be considered correspondingly in

Magnet Cranes.
I'efore the advent of the magnet the
handling of steel plates, steel rail
sera i iron, pig iron and other uia-
ieriais proved a tedious and dilhriilt
matter. There was delay in appl.vin:
the hoisting tackle, accidents were fro
pient hecause of the slipping of hooks
or appliances used to hold the material
together, and with small pieces the
cost wa.s very high. Magnets have im
proved these conditions and have add
ed an element of safety to the handling
of iron and steel products. Kegardless
f the shape of the material, the mag
net attaches itself instantly to its load,
holds it an long as necessary and then
releases it, all the operations heitig
completed without having a man ap
proach either the magnet or the load.

A New Cuban Bagging Fiber.
Experiments are being carried on in
Cuba with tho fiber of a plant locally
known as "inalva Idanca," which is
said to produce an ideal fabric for
ugar bags. According to the Havana
i-orrespondent of Sugar, the fiber is
soft and silky, possesses a tensile
strength greater than hemp, is capable
of close wearing and not susceptible to
shrinkage if wet. No special machines
are required for handling the fiber,
those adapted for spinning and weav
ing hemp, jute or henequen being suit
able for inalva blanca.
Steering Wheel That Tilts.
A tiltable steering wheel invented by
two Michigan men saves the driver
much- trouble when entering his car
It tilts up parallel with the steering
post instead of remaining at the usual
rigid position at right angles to th
steering post. The driver t'j'iA has the
use of the entire space between tho
seat cushion and the steering post
when entering the car or leaving it. A
hitch mechanisci is provided by which
the wheel I at ol her times locked In i.s
normal position for steering the car.
