Not a Chinese Word. It's a mistake to suppose that joss' is a Chinese word," says a retired shliis carpenter. I've traveled a good hit in the Orient in my time, and among the odds and ends of Interesting information I picked up was of the genuineness a knock-ouof joss' as a Cninese word. Chinamen t only know joss when they come iu eontart witli Kuropcans. A Chinese priest that I became chummy with in Hankow told nu that there was no such word in Chinese, np explained that the word was a corruption of the Spanish word Dios' and had come into use through the missionaries. Many early missionaries, he said, were Spanish priests, ami their pro- nunciation of Dios was speedily into joss by native tongues and applied to the Ciinese deities. It's only on the Chinese seaboard that the word is understood by Chinamen. In the interior, the priest told me, the celestials had no knowledge of it. ror-mpte- d Jumped Into Engine Stack. dispatch from Joplin, Mo., says: Owen Greelish. of Leavenworth, Has., was killed between Lebanon and Springfield hv jumping into the funnel of the locomotive smoko stack on e west hound St. Louis and San Francisco passenger train.

DIS- Simple Device That Will Be a Boon to Women on Shopping Tripe Elevator for Cinder Pits A Plant Pro- tector. Affords Protection for Plants. As every gardener knows, a scorching sun is liable to wither plants and thus cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage, which might be averted were the plants protected during the hottest hours of the day. To provide this shade In a convenient and cheap form Is the task which Joseph W. picture shows the result of his efforts, it consist of a hood made up of paper Dr thin wood folded to the proper shape, the folds being secured by a double rivet, through which is inserted the wire bail on which tbe guard ;s mounted. In order that the protecting hood may be adjusted in several positions a notched flap is secured to a a spring when held in a gas flame and continues to so act for a considerable time at least as long as our patience has held out to test It. Ol course, as many layers of mica may be superposed as Is necessary to get the desired thickness and for experimental purposes at least we would imagine that such a spring may be quite useful." Elevator for Cinder Pits. Anyone who has ever watched the men shoveling hot ashes out of the cinder pits where the fire boxes of enare dumped after each gines trip of the road can readily understand the importance of the invention by William Robertson of Chicago, illustrated below. The ashes must first be cooled by thoroughly wetting with water, which makes them heavy to handle, and on a hot day In summer the heat In the pit Is sufficient to cause actual suffering among the men who are called upon to perform this disagreeable task. The object of this Invention is to provide an apparatus which can be easily installed and adapted to convey the cinders from the pit and discharge them Into large cars for transportation to the ordinary deposit. The elevator consists of a cable car running on an inclined track, with a hydraulic or compressed air cylinder for hauling In the cable anil pulling the car up the incline. When the car reaches a point directly above the receiving car an automatic trip opens the floor and discharges the contents. The elevator is controlled by a valve, which is turned in one direction to admit compressed air or water back of the piston, driving it downward and pulling on the cable until the car is lifted to the proper height. When the dumping process is completed the valve Is reversed to allow the fluid " the top at right angles to the ball, the flap being folded down flat when it is desired to tilt the guard on the support posts of the hall. The protectors can be folded into small space for shipment, and it requires but a short time to insert the ball in the eyelets and force the ends of the wire Into the earth on either side of the plant. The hood may then he lowered, raised or tilted at will, to shade or protect one side of the plant, or, as may be frequently desired, to allow the sun to strike the plants while protecting them from the wind. At night the hood can lie lowered to the ground to shut out the moths which are In the habit of depositing their Shoveling Hot Ashes a Thing of the Past eggs on the young plants after dark. or air to escape from the cylinder, when the car falls of Its own accord Carrier for the Umbrella.

How the Idea has been carried out is shown in the accompanying drawing, the device consisting of a screen to protect the face, together with a trough to prevent the hair from falling on the clothing. The device Is preferably transparent, in order that the customers view may not be obstructed, and it may be made out of celluloid, gelatin paper, waxed linen or glass.

The device consists of a single piece of leather, cut to form a straight hanger, with two slaps projecting from either side to clasp the umbrella at about its thickest part. The fastening devices or snap buttons, may be either though the latter are preferred. The hanger may be attached to the belt by the eyelet at thp upper end, which Is formed of another snap button secured In tbe proper place to allow the point of the strap to be folded back on itself.
