Ptof. Fredrich Hirth of Munich has
invented an Ingenious bedside appar-
atna by which a person In an eleo-
trically-llghted bedroom can tell the
time with hardly any movement. The
invention consists of a lamp, which
oa a button being pressed throws
upon the ceiling an optical represen-
tation of a small watch lighted by
electricity. The figure is sharp and
distinct, and is enlarged to the site

to be worked off. Other mills have, no doubt, been equally active In their ship-

The bay is a great source of riches;

try from the whales and porpoises and
walruses, until it Is navigated and is

New Ballot Bex.
W. J. Wilkinson of Baltimore has
invented a new form of ballot box
which, the inventor claims, is worked
accumtely and recretly. It is not un-
like the form now in use in many re-
spects, the main departure being that
the voter initiates hlf aclititltm of
candidates by means of dropping bails
in holes marked with the name of the
candidates. Mr. Wilkinson thinks by
using his device the practice of bal-
lot box stuffing can be eliminated.

There has been a good demand here from the Northwest for the pas*
week, and sales for two big blocks of yard stock and dimension were closed.
Dealers are disposed to take more where manufacturers will bold and ship as
directed, and at mills np in the woods they claim to get this accommodation,
but mills in this vicinity close no deals unless the buyer Is prepared to
move the goods promptly. There is no money distress, present or prospective;
collections are ideal, and mills to this vicinity are all easy financially. They
are not cutting prices, but on lines that they find piling up too fast on the mill
yard they are forced to meet prices made at other manufacturing centers.
There Is not a week that they do not let offers pass, from the fact that the
buyer claims to be able to secure the specification wanted, at other mills, tor
leaa money than mills at Orange will sell
As mentioned last week, 1x2 has at no time been over-plentiful at any
mill here, and mills have found no delay In cashing out all they mage at top
pqjcea. In several other lines stocks sre only moderately full, and unless s
purchaser takes the buk of his requirement from that portion of the yard that
is topheavy he must not expect all of his wants to be met with bargain coun-
ter figures. There are several big blocks at each of the mills, but they do not

always ran to the same sizes and lengths, and that has much to do with the
unevenness hi quotations often noted by buyers, though some of them attrib-
ute it to ulterior motives, growing out of preconcerted agreements among
manufacturers. No surmise could be more completely without base. There
is little or no concert of action among the men who make and sell lumber.
Mach Is trying to get some profit out of his Investment and to do It is forced
to work alone when trade is light. They realize that buyers are not getting
rid of the stuff they are hauling away, and they further know that were all
of the mills to put prices up the effect would be to effectually throttle bual-
nosa at the mills for a few weeks, at best; hut they deem it wiser to mm
stocks down so that when the fall trade does come Increased values can be
easily sustained.
North Texas line yards are beginning to stock up on a larger scale, and
shippers think small grain that is now being harvested will, whm» sold, put

what is to be expected from it in Texas, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
