A Simple Fire Extincuisher.

It is the opinion of experts that much
of the money which is spent by factories,
mills and stores on the introduction of
pipes and valves for fire extinction might
be saved by the adoption of much SIM
pier and more efficient method. Both
sulphur and ammonia are well adapted
for extinguishing fire. Sulphur absorbs
oxygen and forms sulphuric acid, the
fumes of which are much heavier than
air. The quantity required would be
small, since seventy grammes Of sulphur
can make one hundred cubic meters of
air inimical to combustion. An effective
sulphur extinguishing apparatus can be
made of large iron box of moderate
depth and open at the top.
1t should be hinged at one end or side
to protected ceiling, and kept close
thereto by cord or wire connected with
a wire or strap formed chiefly of cad
MUM fusible at IA degs. Fahrenheit.
Inside the box is placed considerable
quantity of cotton wadding, well satur-
ated with powdered sulphur. On the
heat of an incipient fire melting the wire
or strip, the box drops short distance;
by simple device the cotton wadding
is ignited at the same moment, and a
strong cloud of sulphurous acid gas is
instantly evolved, which extinguishes
the fire by rendering the air unfit for
combustion.-New York Telegram.

Cunning Siberian Natives.

When compelled to travel all night,
the Siberian natives always make prac-
tice Of stopping 1just before sunrise and
allowing their dogs to go to sleep. They
argue that if the dog goes to sleep while
it is yet dark and wakes up in an hou1
and finds the sun shining, he will suppose
that he has had full nights rest, and will
travel all day without thinking Of being
tired One or even two hours stop at
any other time is perfectly useless, as
the dogs will be uncomfortable from
that time forward until they are per
mitted to take what they think full al
lowance of sleep. Louis Republic.

California League Games - The Inde-
pendence Meeting to Begin
Today-Nancy Hawks
or Ellerton?

On the 30th day OF July, 1885. Maud
s. made the worlds trotting record. On
that day the speedy daughter of Harold
and Miss Russell negotiated the Cleve-
land track in 208A. That is over six
years ago. yet 2:1Ola by Sunol is the
nearest approach to that time made in
regular trip against the scythe HEAVIER.
Jay Eye See has record of 2:10, but
that was year before Maud S. estab-
lished the record of 2:08A.
If the conditions are favora-
BILE this week at Independence something
will drop when Nelson is sent on his
journey against the watch. The writer
thinks that Nelson has it in him to take
a reef out Of the long standing record.
We shall see. The Salisbury stable will
be at Independence this week.
Margaret S., Allerton and Nancy
Hanks are to come together. The Cali
fornia mare is clearly off and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if she will round to in
time for this very much anticipated
event. 1t will be remembered that
Margaret S. beat Allerton last year, but
judging by the form displayed by the
California mare at Chicago, Allerton
should turn the tables. But how about
Nancy Hanks? To my thinking she
will beat Allerton. Such result would
have tendency to reduce the swelled
= heads of the Iowa horsemen.
The mile paced by Direct at Chicago
on Saturday is the second fastest on
record for stallion. If my memory is
not at fault, the only PAGERS with faster
records than Direct are Johnston, Hal
Pointer and Roy Wilkes. Roy Wilkes
is under the ban, otherwise match
would doubtless be arranged between
Direct and Roy Wilkes to decide which
ID the champion stallion of the world at
the pacing gait. By the way, while dis.
cussing PAGERS, it might not be out OF
place to state that the five fastest PAGERS
in the world are Johnston, Hal Pointer,
Roy Wilkes, Direct and Yolo Maid.
California contributes two out of the
five. Kentucky, can you see that hand?

Strawberries.

Why are they called "straw"berriesi
Smart men differ on that. Some say it
is on account of their hollow, strawlike
stems. Others think it is because they
have to be covered with straw or similar
protecting material in winter. The most
classical explanation that our Anglo
Saxon forefathers used to raise them and
they gave them this name because the
berries are generally on the ground, that
is, ''strewed" or 'sstrawed" around.-Ex-

The Irrepressible Boy.

:. He worried the cat, -.
He played rat-tat-tat
On the window panes, fully an hour by the
clock:
He tried roller skates
Where dishes and plates
In jeopardy lay, till some fell with shock.
With an Indiap yell
On the dolls house he isll,
And added that poor dolly's scalp to his belt;
Then knocked off its toes,
And its fair Grecian nose
Which same WAS of wax-he proceeded to melt.
Two tubs he upset,
Without one regret;
He stood on his head till his face turned sky
blue;
A curtain he tore,
And then sighed for more
Inventively mischievous things he might do.
He hid granny's "specs"- a
But that didn't vex; .-
Her face frightened up with his fun and his
Zone sweet kiss repaid a.
For allr' so she said,
Resignedly adding that "boys will be boysl"
But strangest OF all,
At nights quiet fall,
How meekly, how placidly this rogue would
say:
Good night, mamma dear!
Good night, papa, dearl
I've tried hard to be such good boy today!"

ladies who have been quietly doing a
great deal of effective work the past
three years in this city. The sick and

ladies have successfully engineered the
chrysanthemum fair for two years past,
and are now preparing foI their third
annual festival. These displays have
become prime attractions to Los An

with delight. As previously announced
in these columns the display this year
will be given on the grounds adjoining

during the last week in October and
continuing during the first week in

everything brilliantly illuminated with

on Milk Diaries for the supply of

this industry, so important to the
we'll being Of city dwellers and
their little ones. The article is
abundantly illustrated, with truly
beautiful pictures of cattle and
dairy appliances. A continuation
on Butter and Cheese making is
promised next month. How we
gave name to Tennessee Cove, is
the title of a readable account of
that famous wreck Of one OF the
great Pacific Mail steamers, in the

Another Crank Bill.

Some crank in the Illinois legls-
lature proposes to increase the in
efficiency aud scandal of the jury sys
TEN, says the Salt Lake City Herald
which has been steadily growing
worse for many years. 1t is by rare
chance that an intelligent man sits
on jury if he have anything else
to do. The laws and the way the
average judge interprets and applies
them tend directly to the keeping
of the best men out of the box, and
turning The trial Of cases over to
the nincompoops and the corrup-
tonists. The forming Of an opin-
ion is a disqualification, and the
reading of a Newspaper disqualifies a
man. All intelligent men neces-
sarily form opinions, and the man
who doesn't read the newspapers
and isn't familiar with current
events. and especially of those mat
tiers which get into the courts, is as
near an ignoramus as humans get
TO be.
The Illinois solon referred to has
introduced a bill which provides
that registered voters who do not
vote shall be called exclusively for
jury duty before other citizens are
drawn. The bill is wrong in prin-
cipal. 1t makes jury service legal
punishment for new offense,
whereas that service should be rec
ognized and treated as a duty de-
volying upon every honorable cit
izen. Failure to vote is made an
offense to be punished by the i'm
position of Objectionable service up
on the delinquent. 1t would be
just as consistent to compel the
man who neglects to vote TO "do
time'' in prison or labor with the
road gang. The proposed law
would degrade the jury to an even
lower standard than at present.
The more Intelligent men, those
who make the best jurors, ara those
who register and vote as a duty
which they owe to society, as we'll
as to themselves. 1t would be bet
ter to keep of the jury the men who
do not vote, for one who hasn't
enough interest in the government
to perform the duty ought not be
permitted to enter the jury box.
