NEBRASKA ANUFACTURERS Where Shall the Next Exposition be Held? MANUFACTURERS WHO NEED MORE ROOM Active Members of the Association Quletly Discussing the Practicability of Organ~ izing an Exposition ¢ Patting Up & Build “Where shall we hold onr next exjposi- tion!" is the question that is going the rounds among the memboers of the Manu- facturers and Cousumers Association of Nebraska. The last exposition was Jargely in the nature of an exporiment, and & good many manufacturers were afraid that it would be a failure, and would take no part init. Many of thoso who did exhibit mado & vory small showing of goods, this occupy- ing little space, as they did not realize the importance of bringing their product to the attention of the consumers. In spite of these ciroumstancos, the coliseumn building where the oxposition was held, was crowded fuil and not a vacant space for oxhibits left. After 1t was seen what a great success had been mado of the exposition, those who re- mained out, vowed that they would be in it next timo Those who made small exhibits of goods declared that next time they would have machinery iv operation and carry on the actual work of manufacture, the same as Wwas done by the manvfacturers of overalis, shirts, snoes, barbed wire, ete, Those who made large exhibits declared that they nad received an immense amount of benefit 1 the way of advertising and that thoy would make u still greater effort next time. "Then too the assoclation has been growing and the prospects are that it will have on its rolls doule the number of mombers by the timo the next exposition is held. This being 10 brief the situation tho ac- tive mewmbers are asking themselves how tkoy aro woing toaccommodate almost double the number of eoxhibitors that they had last tme, ound give each one of them larger space, and still get them all into the Coliseum building, An addition might be built to tho Coliseum building if the owners saw fiv to £O to that expense, but even then it would fall far snortof what is required, In the first place it is claimed that it1s inaccessible, being located to one side and out of reach of all tho street cur lines excepting the cablo. As the street car company does not issue transfers it makes it too expeusive for men of moderate means and large families to at- tend. These and other reasons bave lod to the suggestion that Owmaha can never acquire auy great prominence ns an exposition or convention city until she has a larger build- 1ng located in a moro occessible part of the city and oce that can be used for expositions or large assomblies of any kind. It bas been suggested that that part of the city bounded by Ninth and Seyenteenth and Howard and Davenport streets would be the most desirable location, as it would bring tho building within easy walk- ing distanco of all the car linos of tho city, inoluding the Council Blufts line, Thelr Plans. While no delinite plans_have been formu- lated, tho subject has beon quietly dis- cussed among the members, and some of them have gone so far as to look up tho expo- sition buiding question in otuer cities, It is gencrally agreed that the building should not bo a gift enternrise and that no dona- tions shoula bo asked for from citizens, The usual method is to organizo a_stock com- pany, placing the shares av say £25 each, and then sell cnough stock to put uip the build- ing. Iach share of stock entitlos the boider 08 vote, and bence & share in the mafhee- ment of the exposition builaing. A board of management would be created, and the manu- facturers or others who might have use for the building would leaso 1t from them. Those who have been giving the subject attontion aro of the opinion that $30,000 to #50,000 would put up a suitablo building and that it could be mude to pay the stockholdors a fair profitor their investments. 5o far the talk has been of leasing tbo round for the building iustoad of attompt- ng to raise the money to buy 1t outright.

One of the first effects foted in the early development of this treatment wasa local anwsthesia sat ficiently pronounced to ronder the patient insensible tothe prick ofa needle. That this anwsehosia is not confined w the sur- face is proved by the painless dental ops ations that have been porformod under its influence. M. J. P. Michaols relates that when exporimenting with the electric rod diupason, which involves the principle ot mechanical vibration, he was able to produce local anwsthosia by applying the button of the apparatus to the guins baifway up the Toots of the testh, and to perform one of the most painful of dental operations, that of oxtracting the live nerves (rom the teeth, without the patient feeling any pain. This principle bas now bean further applied in Paris by Prof. Charcot. Findiag that mo chanical vibration had a markea effect in soothing the nerves Prof. Charcot con- structed a new helmot for the transmission of vibrations to the head. This devico ro- sombles an ancient helmet and is made of shoets of steel which permit the top of tho bead to be thoroughly inclosed. Mounted upon this helmet is a small alternating current motor, making about 600 revolutions nor minute, Ateach revolution a uniform vibration is transmitted to metallic sprines ynsido the belmet and thus communicated to the skull against which the springs pross, Tho walls of the skuil are thus vibrated in their entivety, and the vibrations, naturally, arctransmitied to the corobral stricture, Th number and intensity of the vibations can be varied according to tho pationt treated, and tho sensation 18 said to be not disagree’ able, especially as tho machine produces a rumbling sound which tends to benumb the locality.” Attne end of somo minutes the patient experiences general lassitude and_an inclination to reposo and the immediato cffect is 1o Lhrow nervous people and thoso afllicted with insomnia into a poaceful and refreshing siumber. »"s .

This systom does not appoar to have beon prac- tically applied to any exchange, but any now System that promiscs to obviato tho noces- sity for thecostly and_claborate plant uow in use in telophoua exchanges s not likely to remain long untested, A new form of windmill for electrical purposes has boen invented by Prof, J. Blyth. Prof. Biyth, who has devoted much atiention to the subfect of the utilization of wind power for ulectric storage, found that the ordi form of windmill would an- swer very well for this purpose o long as the wind had a moderate spead, but, like all othor windmills, it had_either' to o self- reofing or stopped ultogether whon the hoavy breeze cume. This was obviously very unsatisfactory, as tho best of the wind for storago purposos was thus lost, and the problem that then presented itself was to construct o windmill that would satisfy the following requisitos: Iirst, 1t must always be ready to go. Socond, it fast go without avtoudanco for lengthened feriods. Third, it must go through tho wildest galo and be able to take full advantaze of it. These re- quirements were met by the machine fnally devised by Prof. Blyth, in_woich semi-cyl i L boxes aro attached to four strong each about 26 feet long, the opon- ing 'of ocach box belng 10 feet by G “feet, and the vertical shaft ie along rod of 1ron, fivo inches in diamoter, Avits lower end ‘it carrics a massive pit wheel, which actuates the train of gearing and drives the ly wheel,six feot 1n diamoter. with the requisite specd for driving the dy: uamo, connected with it by a beit in the ordinary way. This machine is found to work most satisfactorily, and with a fair wind speed gave about tiwo electrical horse- power. Prof. Blyth mamtains that oloctrl- cal windmills, at’ least for ‘small installa- tions are likely to assumo this form, us thero is no limit to the size aud strength with which they may be constructed, and, if nee- esmary, several could be placed in ahy waell cxvosed position, cach having its own dynamo and set of accumulators. Windmills are found to present svecial advantages when applicd to the lighting of lighthouses, whic are always in exposed situations where wind is plentiful, and cften in such romoto places that stords aud coal for genor- ating clectric ligh [n_any otbor way could only be sout with diflicuity. To the lighting of country houses tho use of acoumulators in conjunction with windmills is spacially ap- plicable, as tho system is very cleunly and can be adopted without the trouble of muech attendance. i i The "“No. 9" Wheeler & Wilson is the only lock-stiteh machine made that will maintain an even and perfect stitch at differant speeds, Sold by Gieo.

About the Scottish Rite, OxmaRA, Oct. 3.—To the Bditor of Tie Be In Sunday’s Bee of October 2 au_ article ap- peared in the sccret society column giving the faets regaraing a concorted effort amony the rank and file of the Southera jurisdiction Seotlish Rite Masons to bring about a much desired change in form of government in their jurisdiction. It being monarchical tueir desire is to make it conform to the govern- ment in which they live. T'nis is as it should baand cannot fail to re- celve the endorsement of all who beliove that soveroign power should be exercised by rep- resentatives elocted by the veople. I'ree America is not the place to propagate to any cousiderable extent the principles of an aris- tocratic government. 1 take exceptions, however, to the historical part of the articlo in question us ervoncous and misleading. ‘Tho writer, evidently a membsr of the Southern jurisdiction, says: *In the United States there are two jurisdictions of Seottish Rite Masonry, the Northern und the South- ern,” and fails to mention the United States of America, their Territories and Dapenden- cies, a jurisdiction whish has fully threo times the membership of the Southerna juris- diction and is a purcly represontative body, all the officers, from tho highest to the low. est, being elected nnnually. ‘Tnere is at present represented in the goy- ernment of Scottish Rite Masonry in tho United States threo systems of government —monarchical, represented by the Soathern jurisai ; autocratic, represented by the Northera jurisdiction and democratic, ropre. sented by the United States jurisdiotion, "The writer is also in orror rogarding the grana east of the Northern jurisdiction. He says ‘‘the Northern jurisdiction has head. quarters atgNew York.” while Now Yorik is the grand east for tbe United Siates of America, their Territories and Dependencies, and Boston is tho grand east for the North- ern jurisdiction and Washington, D. C,,1s the grand east for tho Southern juvisdiction, ‘The writer's reference to a divlsion of ter- ritory botweon the Northern and Southern jurisdictions in nowise affects ths territorynf the United States of America, their Territo- ries aud Depeudoncios, which s no less taan toeir name indicats nor could they make a division of tervitory if so inclined, a3 they rigidly adhere to tho old original constitu- tion of 1762 for their government in this particular and that document prohibits moro than one central head of Scottish Rite Ma- soury in any oune government, whilo the * Northern and Southern jurisdie- tions are both working under the forged constitution of 1786 which is made for con- venience to allow two central heads in the United Statos and _herein is the cause of Scotuish Rite Masonry in the United States existing in factions at the present time. General Albert Pike, while livine could not recognize the United States juris: diction working under the constitution of 1762, as, using his own language, 1t meant for himabdication, therefors these conditions were made absolute, but it would now seem that there is no longer any necessty for this state of affairs to exist in the Aucient and Accepted Scottish Rite in the United States, and it 15 to bo hoped that for tho ooa of the Rite and Masoury in gencral that such legis- 1ation will be effected in the near future as to bring the factions together under one con- tral head in the United States, according to the original plan and as it'exists in other countries. The adoption of a representative form of government will have a tendency to make rapil striaes in this airection, ALEXANDER ATKINSON, 83, Deputy for Nebraska, U. S, A, AT and A, ML George C. Connor, graud secratary of the grand lodze of Tennesseo, has written o highly interesting account of his European trip and visit to Masonic lodges .n Gireat Britain and on tho coutinent. The article referred to is illustratea by diagrams show- ing the position of ofticers and appointments in tho various lodges visited. Alluding to the diagram of tho Italisn louge, Brother Connor says: It will be observed that an altar lika as in America is usea in Italy. Indeed, the genoral arrangementis quitelike tho American, Thore are slight vaations in tne arrangements of other lodgerooms visitea, but these may bo accepted as the standard.” The rooms are small, fow capable of soating more taan fifty brethren. In England hotels vsually build lodgerooms in their uppor stovies, and sev- eral lodges assemble therein without the payment of reatal, The hotels aro com. peusated by the brethren dining after tho conclusion of business. And this dining, in full evening dress and 1n Masonic clothing and jewels, may bo set down a3 the universai custom of Kaglisn Freemasonry., lo Ger- many the hoter custom does not prevail to any great exteut, and lodges either own or lease their room: Dinner or luncheon 15 always served, as in Kogland, and culefly in halls attached to the lode rooms. 1o Italy the custom does not pravail at all. Loageroolas are loased, as a ralo.and diniog without Masonic clothing ocours at restaurants. Intelligent American Masons find no difiiculty 1n making themselves kuown 1o Europe. But no attempt should visit u loage witliout firat n invitation to do so from the sec- retary. The American way of going to the vecoption room and sending in vour card is unknown 1o Europe. Koglish and coutinen- tal Masons own their own aprons and carry the same along with them when visting. No aprons aro supplied by lodyes except to its officers, The lodges elect their masters, treasurers and tylors. The remaining officers are ap- pointed by the worshipful master-elect. The retiriug past master installs his suceessor and theu presents the remainiug officers for investment by the master. The installation corewony is secrot and is vastly supevior to the ceremony we use in America.

The ritual of the order portravs by form and caremony, symbol and allegory, tho passing of the Christian through the witderness of sin and woe to_the heavenly castle.
