Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor (Ml, Paregoric,
props and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has

Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
the assimilation of Food; giving healthy and natural sleep.

DRIVING RIVETS SLOW WORK
Not Only That, but Enormous Number
of Them Are Needed in ?
Steel Ship.
The largest single Hem 111 the IhIh>P

rlv?jtlHg of her hull; therefore the
driving of rivet? I* 'taken as a standard
of slxe and of progress by mO*t of. the
? ill plullldci To build U 10.00O loll
?hip a week meths the driving of
about 650,000 rivet* In that tlu ?e. The
Union shipyards of Sun Francisco, as
at present equipped and freed from la
bor troubles, cau drive afcoui 800.000
rivets, although In a record week It
^fov^ 411,000 rivets; the four ifxt
tartest yard* in America? rat Fore Klv

Oamden, and at Philadelphia upon the
Dels ware ? can drive 200,000 to 275,000
rivets a week each. | A half dozen
smaller steel shlpyarda *111 drive from
50,000 to 150.000 each, seven days.
Riveting, despite all tha Inventions
devised to speed It up, remalas hand
work and slow work. A riveting gang
consists of two men and two boys?
the riveter, his "holder-on,M the passer
boy and the heater boy. |The gaug
drives from 900 to 875 rlvejts In the
course of a ten-hour day and Is tired
at the end of It. | But when you know
that It takes four men all of a working
duy to drive an average of a Mttle less
than 850 rivets, you can begin to see
the full sl*e of the labor problem of
driving at least 650,600 rivets a week
necessary to turn out , a 10. 000-ton
ship at the end of that length of time.
In other words, you need 1,200 inon^for
the riveting gangs alone.

our five greatest yards? with a total

of 1917? was but 1,850,000 rivets ?

about 20 per cent In the construction

RAISE MISCHIEF WITH WIRES
Remarkable Effect of Aurora Boreal!*
on the Telegraph Wlrea Of
the Country.
When the aurora borealls, or ??north-'
ern lights," pay us a visit there' Is
trouble on all the telegraph and tele
phone lines. The reason for this
seems to be that the aurora borealts,
which Is really an unusual electric
emanation from the sun, sets up ab
normal earth currents. The- strength
of these currents has been measured
many times and found to have a poten
tial varying between 425 voltfc positive
and 225 volts negative and a resist
ance of about 2,000 ohms.
Donald McNlcol, assistant electrical
engineer of the Postal Telegraph com
pany, who has given much study to
this subject, made an official report in
1892, quoted in the Electrical Experi
menter, Jn which he described the ef
fects of earth currents on the ten At
lantic cables then In existence. Most
affected was that from Brest to Mique
lon Island, and the disturbances weife
greater at the western than at the
eastern end, so that often St. Pierre
could send messages to Brest but could
not receive any.
Long cables were more affected than
short ones, southerly ones more than
northerly ones, and the abnormal cur
rents seemed to travel mostly from
east to west. Sometimes the earth cur
rents are so strong that they Injure tl\e
condensers;* But they are most erratic
In their nature and behavior.
The First Romanoff.
Romanoff Is the name of the Bus
sfep Imperial dynasty regnant In the
Male line from 1613 to 1780, and
thenceforward In the female line. Con
stant Intermarriages with German
princely hrfuses, however, have made
the Bom an off strain of today more
German than Russian. Nay ; the old'
est ancestor of house of Roman
off. Andrew KotUi.ls said to have
come to Moscow from Prussia K1341>.
The name Romanoff was given to the
family by the boyar Roman Yurle
vltch, the fifth of direct descent from
Andrew, who succeeded In getting a
female member of his family on the
throne of the czars by marrying his
daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In
February, 1618, Mikhael Feodorvltch
Romanoff, a boy of seventeen, was pro
claimed czar, grand duke and futocrat
of all the Russlas In the Red square
of Moscow. With this accession to
the throne of the famous, or rather 111
famed, dynasty begin a 304 years'
misrule that ? let us hope ? has ended
forever with the forced abdication of
Oxar Nicholas, In March, 1917.
