PNEUMATIC PAINTING',

A ILuiltine Invented Whieh 11111 100 Ten
'rlaupa hull: Werk or mannish.
A special plant, including portable
engine, boiler and oompressor, has been
devised for painting lay pneumatio
pressure. The engine indicates five
horse power at 150 revolutions per min-
ute at -100 pounds steam pressure, and
the,,compressor is capable bf discharg-
ing 29 pubic feat per minute of free
air. The engine and boiler are so ar-
ranged that they can be used for any
other purpose than that of compressing,
such as pumping, driving poke or coal
breaker, working lift to purifier house.
or other operations incident to gas
manufacture, in connection with' which
the plant was. especially designed.tUn-
til recently the pneumatic paiter bad
been used almost . entirely . for light
'band -power work, such as enameling
over mantels, painting and stenciling
walls of residences, etc., in whioh air
pressure of only soma five or six pounds
was required to work the spray; but
a gas superintendent, who wanted to
repaint its gas holder, thought heoould
save money by employing thepneuinatio
paint brush, if he could ouly get an ap-
paratus carrying sufficient pressure.
The construction of the plant already
mentioned followed. After timing the
machine be found that one speny paint-
ed 130 square yards per hour. On put-
ting a good man to work alongside the
machine, he noted that the latter got
over at least 10 times the work done
by the brush' while, of course, le dol -
lowed that with a pressure of 2epounds
the paint was forced into the seams
of the sheeting and around the rivets
very much more efficiently than when
laid en simply with' the hand brush. In
the nine clays that the machine was kept
in operation at the gas works it paint-
ed a sixty -.foot and an eighty -five-foot
holder ; each having two lifts of 25
feet, the horizontal condensers, vertical
washer, tower scrubbers liquor tanks,
etc., without needing the removal of
elm compressor or boiler, and the fin-
ish of the work .was all that could be
desired.

',Oat ills come to humanity from a
disordered liver! Henry Ward Beecher
teas said that it Was impossible for a
man to hold correct spiritual views if
his liver was out of order. The liver
,e so important a part Of the mamma -
Ism of 11111.0 that when it ceases to work
,:9th ease th'' whole man is unable to
do lits work aright. Can we not appeal
to thoirands, nay, tens of thousands,
for a verification of this fact? Cer-
tainly it is, that Mr. David Reid, of
Chesley, Ont„ felt ,that the enjoyment
life had been taken from ham,
through the unhealthy condition of his
liver, P'or ten years he says he was
troubled with liver complaint and dys-
pepsia. Employing his awn language:
"At times my liver was So tender I
could not boar it pressed or touched
from the outside. Had tried a great
many remedies without any benefit.
Was compelled to drop my work, and
beia:g worse than usual, I decided as
a final resort to try South American
\ervine, which had been recommended
to me by friends who had been cured
by it. I got a bottle from A, S. Good -
eve, local druggist, and' commenced
taking according to directions. Before
1' had taken half a bottle I was able
to go to work again, and I have Im-
proved steadily since. I can conscien-
atiously recommend SouthAmerican
Nervine to any suf'ertng from dyspep-
sia or liver complaint." This is lvLr.
Raid's story as hetells it in his own
words. Were 1t thought .necessary it
could be corroborated by a host of wit-
nesses. Mr. Reid has lived a long time
in Chesley, and his case was known to
be a very bad one, But that makes no
difference to Nervine. This great dis-
covery rises equal to the most tryfng
occasions. Let it be indigestion, the
most chronic liver trouble, as with Mr.
Reid, nervous prostration, that makes
life miserable with so many, stole
headaches, that sap all the effort out
of man or woman, Nervine measures to
the necessities of the case. Lt is a
great medicine and thousands to -day in
Canada are happier and healthier sten

There Is 710 great secret about it, and
yet there is an important secret. et
operates on the nerve centers 00 t1Se
system from which emanate all life and
healthfulness, or if disordered, sickness,
even death. Nervine strikes promptly at
the nerve centers, hence, as with Mr -

dicines haddone no good, less titan a
bottle of Nervine brought about en-
couraging results, and a few bottles

FAST CRUISERS.
TIM Trial Trips er the Powerful --The
ventage el' the flitter Tithe I/ollen9 111
Vessels el Large Dispincenlent.
A despatoh from London, says:—The
British cruiser, the Powerful, which has
quite recently completed her steam
trials, lent the present moment the fast-
est shipun,the Royal navy, and has thus
Dully justified the adoption of the water'
tubo bailer in vessels of large displace-
ment. Her trials began in October, and
the maahi,nei'y defect which delayed
their completion until the end of ,No-
vember may be disregarded as having
no connection eviel1 the principle in
which merino engineers have been in-
terested, It was mkt elute the Admir-
alty were 'doing a rash thing in sup-
plying so 'large a cruiser wit'le Belle-
ville boilers on ,Oto strength of only
minor experiments; but the experiment
has succeeded, and marks a, new era
in the history of Maxine engineering.
Ede engines of the Powerful, as also
of the Terrible, were designed to pro-
duce 25,000 horse -power. At the first
trial the, ship was run for thirty hours
at one-fifth of her power. In this tread
only sixteen out of her forty-eight boil -
ars were in use, andthe average speed
was 14.35 knots, whale the coal con-
sumption was 2.0 pounds Dor indicated
horse -power. This Powerful VMS next'
subjeclecl tea thirty hours' run et8,-
000 horse -power, In ,hie case, and4iu
the open sea, the speed of the vessel
was 20.0 knots, end calculations hallow-
ed that the engines are tapable of de-
veloping 15,000 Horse -power at economi-
cal speed,
In the final trial, which was carried
