Barbed wire, says the Manchester ( Guardian, the origin of which Sir Ian Hamilton recently attributed with un historical picturestjueness to the devil. 1 j was actually tint invention of an in- 1 genious lad named Latta. Fifty-four | am>. mu noy, in ii aged ten years, saw on u farm at some distance from his home in New York state a novel kind of fence, with a boarding i! at the top and another at the base, two strands of thin wire strung between. On his asking the reason for that peculiar arrangement, he was told that it permitted the free passage of the wind and prevented snowdrifts in win- ; tertlme. On the boy's suggestion, his father adopted that sort of fencing on his own farm. Then a neighbor allowed i his hogs to roam on the highway, and they found Mr. Latta's pasturage at- j tractive. The thought then occurred i to young Latta that small barbs inserti ed in the wire strands at distances of 1 i six inches might discourage them. The I hogs did not mind the scratches much, but the owner of thein objected, and I kept them at home. t The first patent taken out for barbed > | wire was registered in the harmless i name of Smith, in 1867. Painting With Airbrushes. Painting and varnishing of large surfaces is now being successfully ac- 1 3 complished by means of airbrushes. which send the liquid paint in a huge , 3 spray all over the object. At a big furniture factory in New j ' York they place a chair upon a revolv- | 1 ing platform under a galvanized iron | * hood, in the back of which is an elec- | * trie fan drawing the air out into an ex3 haust flue, and in the top of which are ' j electric lamps in front of reflectors. The painter stands with an object that looks like a pistol in his band This is ' the airbrush, which iB attached to a J tube leading from a tank in which the paint is under 70 pounds of pressure 1 | furnished by a dynamo and is kept con" stantly stirred. On pressing the trigi ger the paint is projected like a showI er bath all over the chair. * { Cow's Disguise Washed Off.
