A MODERN LUMBER MILL
Methods Have Changed Since the Days of
the Oid-Time Sawmill.
I wanted to see a fin de siecle lum- ber mill. When I was a boy in the Pine woods on tie Aliegheny hills they had saw mills on the creeks and river? that used to do business with the logs in a way that seemed to be amazing. They used to have buzz saws in those days about as big around as the full rroon, and the way that a little Gypsy engine of three or four horse power could make them revolve was a WOn- der. But they told me here that I was out of date, and that the Alie- eheny pine woods were not in it.
So then I went down to a real lum- bill mill—a Minneapolis lumber mill— yesterday. The show is worth the price of admission. A Minneapolis lumber mill is a place where they feed a forest into one end and draw a frame house out of the other. A Minneapolis lumber mill is the Kellar of the me- chanic art. lit swallows a kg and vomits a wagon load of toothpicks, There is prestidigitation for you. The modern lumber mill is a place where the men are machinery and the ma- 2hinery seems to do the thinking. Seems isn’t really the word. It does think. Or, if you can prove that it doesn't you can’t make me believe it. I saw it think. I saw a great big leviathan ofa thing, a jagged hooked, long-toott- sd monster, reach over and pick up a leg, a log that was half as big as teh steel arch bridge, and pat it and ca- ress it and turn it over as a woman would a baby, tuck it in, and then— rip! It was all over with Mr. Log. It made me think of when the wolf un- masked himself to Little Red Riding tiood. He had been good and kind nd loving, and all that, you know, but tinally he showed his cruel teeth. That is the way this human monster, this machine that thought did with the log, the poor log that it had pretended to be so fond of, and had coddled and made love to.
Down in this mill where I was _ there were three saws running. This isn't tethnical, and I don’t know for sure what they call them, but one was a buzz saw—I know a buzz saw when I see it—and another was a saw like a leather belt, a piece of leather belting, I mean. It must have been 25 or 30 feet long, and it ran over a big wheel that went around a million times a second. Four or five feet of the saw came down vertically, just at the edge of @ little railroad about 50 or 60 feet long, inside the mill. There was a fat @ar on the railroad and a big pis- ton rod was its motive power. The car Was fastened to the rod. Ruth wes half as surely tangled up. ‘Whither thou goest?’’ Well, when the rod went you may be sure the car went, right away, A man pulled the string, and the car did the rest.
It Was on to this car that the thing with the wolf teeth dumped the logs one by one. When they were in po- stition, all tucked in and feeling pretty comfortable, I thank you, all at once that string was pulled and in about a second the poor, unsuspecting log had its nose up against that leather beit saw and was being sliced and trim- med into a stick of square timber. in about two minutes it had lost all its self-respect. It was nude, shameface.d, pitable.
Then someone pulled another string, or touched a button, I don’t know which, and what was left of the log was ignominiously thrown overboard. It fell upon a moving sidewalk, some- thing like that thing they had down by the steamer pier at the World’s Fair, and the sidewalk carried it off, first scuth, then east. I think this side- walk thought, too. It seemed to. It did just the right thing at the right time. It never made anything that looked to me like a mistake. It took this big timber and ran i over to the middle of the mill and laid it on another sidewalk that was at rest. The brother of the moving sidewalk was very busy on the other side of the mill, taking care of the timbers the buzz saw was turning out, turning them into the same centre. Every few minutes six or eight squared timbers would be piled up on the sidewalk that was at rest. Then some one pulled another string. The sidewalk that was at rest got a move on itself; not very fast, but about as fast as a fat man with $160 in his pocket would walk after taking dinner at the West.
Down the pike a little way was a cider press, Or something. Maybe it wasn’t a cider press, for I am not a mechanical expert, but it looked like it. It was about as big as a ton of hay, and inside of it twenty-four saws were going up and down, not around. but straight up and down like a type- writer girl’s jaws when she chews gum and thinks she is thinking. The side- walk in the middle of the mill walked right into the mouths of these twenty- four devils that were doing this ver- tical dance. .
And it was all off. You have seen. possibly, a colored gentleman, an a‘- tache of your favorite free lunch count- ar, cut up a cheese, haven’t you? Well, his work was hard compared to that of the cider mill. It seemed to have 2 positive relish for timber. It went through that stack of lumber—about half a carload—like a tramp through a hand-out; and when, in about seven seconds, the sidewalk had pushed them entirely through the mill, there was a vile of inch planks ready for market
This sidewalk business seems to be a sort of main push—a_ sort of floor walker (that’s not half bad)—around a tumber mill. When the cider mill gets through with the inch planks they travel right along on to another mov- ing sidewalk, It receives them cour-
teously to its bed and bears them away as a bridegroom. Most any obi place around the mill yard is good
enough for the moving sidewalk tc go to. The new-made lumber is car ried along east, west, or south until a good easy place to dump it shows up, and then the sidewalk lets go of
its load, stops, piles it up, and goes pack after more. That’s the honest truth.
I stood on the bridge and saw two men with pike poles steering the logs that came down the boom. An endless cable road came out of the water and ran up a sharp incline into the miil. It had great hooked teeth in it every ten feet. The men with the pike poles would push the nose of a log on to the cable, and in half a second the big teeth would seize it by the throat, then by the belly, then by the feet, and it was gone. It was as a python carry- ing off a crocodile.—Minneapolis Presa

Science Triumphant at Last.
Miller’s Emulsion. of Cod Liver Qii is the outcome of the latest scientific re- searches, There was always a prejudice agaiust taking Cod Liver Oil on account of its disagreeable taste, but Miller’s Emul- sion is agreeable to the palate, and that is one reason why it has become so popular with the medical fraternity, the hospitals of the country and the households wher- ever consumption or lung troubles pre- vail. Milier’s Emulsion is the great nerve strengthener and biood maker, and cures Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis. Scrofula and all Lung affections. In Big Bottles, 50c. and $1, atall Drug Stores.

BEHIND THE SCENES AT FAMOUS MONTE CARLO.
GAMBLING
Meducing the Piayers Show to Nearly
Nothing—A Man Whe “Goes Broke”
Can Kecover 16 Per Ceut of His Losses aud Get Kailway Fare Liome.
The police of Monte Carlo are & admirably organized that a tew hours after anybouy’s arrival the nuime oi the visitor is already reported to th administration of the cercle, with, oa course, the address and various de- tails, such as the amount of luggage, the appearance, the price of the room or pension taken, etc. These details are all important to the inspecior du Vatique—a venerable looking old scoun- drets whose duty it is to repatriate broken down gamblers. Anybody whe has lost every penny he has brought with him can on application either recover 10 per cent. of his losses, or ii the sum is small, his railway fare io the extent of from i4 to i6 is paid. This last is called the vatique, and is given dgainst a regular I. O. U., which has to be refunded before the recipient cau be admitted again to,the gambling house. We may merifion, en passant, that no less than £40,000 is distributed im this guise every year, and that no less than £30,000 is actually paid back.
The information of the police in and outside of the building is so precise that it is no use for anybody to pre- tend to have lost £1,000 if he has lost only £50. The statement is accepted with great politeness, only he is ask- ed to walk along the rooms with an inspector, and then to wait awhile. Ere long the inspector will return and tell you not only how much, more or jess, you have lost, but he will tell you what your game wzas—single or multiple chances, a “martingale” or at random—and if you protest he will add yet some more information, such as “You have no luggage; you dine at cheap places,” or “you live at a cheap pension,” ete. The above only foes to show how carefully everything and everybody is watched. The wait- ers, the hotel proprietors, the railway officials and the croupiers living at boarding houses all send in the results of their observations every day.
Now, as to the precautions against obstinate good luck for punters. The first is in the fact that the gambling house is a cercle—a club—to which adnrittance is gained on presenting & card issued by the administration for cne day only. This card has to be personally renewed every day, and nothing is easier than to refuse this to a too persistent winner. No reason is vouched for the refusal, and the staff of “chuckers-out” within easy reach Icok too convincing to attempt intrusion or arguments. Should the objection- able punter be too big game for such a summary proceeding there is quite an army of agents provocateurs, both men and women, around each table, and they, according to instructions, pick a quarrel with the lucky player— generally over a stake—a row ensues, both parties are chucked out, and then the inspector explains that the rule of ihe cercle ts not to admit again those who make a disturbance and spoil the partie. Recriminations are useless, and as whatever law or justice there is at Monte Carlo is In the hands of the “Societie des Bains de Mer,” just a= is the police, there is neither protection nor appeal.
It must, however, be explained here that these extreme measurs apply on- ly to succssful “martingalists’’—system players—or to “lightning” punters— gamblers who come every day for a few minutes, stake three times some maximums, win by some remarkable fluke and go away. These are the most hated, if only because of the supersti- tion as to playing sur la tete du ponte —that is, following en masse the stakes of a lucky player. There have been cases where successive banks have been broken thus. A roulette bank gen- erally starts with from £2,000 to £3,000, according to season, and the bank is considered broken when this sum is lost. Very often when the bank has been broken twice in succession the play is stopped at this particular ta- ble and the roulette taken away—an- other proof of the precautions referred to, and as a patent instance that the administration does not believe in the possibility of pure chance. It is either the roulette or the croupier that must be out of gear.
As a matter of fact( a crounier does get out of gear, because after a certain time—15 to 30 minutes—he sets the disk moving and the ball rolling with the same swing, so to say, and the result that the ball will fall time after time into the same section of the disk. The consequences of this phenomenon have been more than once disastrous on the bank in years past. Hence croupiers are changed every half hour, or each 3¢ coups are made by a fresh hand, Some 800 coups are played daily at each table. As a further proof that the hand can acquire a certain dynamic monotony, if one may use the expres- sion, and a high evenness of impulse may be cited the fact that at the croupiers’ school at the Condamnine there is a daily practice of “aiming at zero.” It is well known that zero is the bank’s chance of winning all other stakes, except, of course, its own, and the single ones which are put “en pris- en,” tied over until the next coup. Viser au zero is the croupier’s con- stant preoccupation, and we find in this practice another instance of what was said in the beginning about the chances of the punter,
Rows happen mostly in the summer season, wher. small players and sy5- tem players swarm around the tables. This is also the busy time for those appointed to watch over the various “martingalistes,” for, although the founder of the house, old Blanc, used to say that he would give a million to anybody who could prove that it ts possible to win 5 francs at roulette with absolute certainty, still the present ad- ministration will not even leave this loophole to chance.
