Il Great Rush for Them st the Chi.
caeo Hotels,


cago Hotels.
All the leading Chicago hotels. just
month before the opening day. placed OF
sale tickets Of admission to the Worlo's Co.
lumbar Exposition. and brisk demand at
once manifested itself. Thousands Of them
were bought up by individuals who were de-
sirous OF keeping them as souvenirs or send
ing them away to friends.
The tickets are trifis larger than tho old
fifty-cent pieces which were current 10 the
days of fractional paper money, and are
printed in four designs, each one bearing a
different medallion on its face. The faces OF
the series are all in blue, but the backs
vary, one series being light yellow, another
red, another green, and the other light
blue. One ticket bears the face of Co.um-
bus, another that of Washington. Lincoln
is on the third. while the fourth bears the
portrait Of Pontiac and Is the finest in the
series.
Fifty cents apiece is the price OF the tic.
kets and they are good for one imission to
the grounds on any day from the opening to
the close Of the exposition. Besides the tic
kets placsd on sale at the hotels, Treasurer
Seeberger has received large orders for
them from business houses who desire to
send them out 20 their customers in the
country. The orIers already on file from
this source alone aggregate over 50 COZ.

"Every few days we read about people
being caught in folding beds and stran-
gled or crushed to death or rendered Grip
Piles for life," said u mechanic "It is
easy to prevent this. Every folding bed
can be easily fitted with hooks or bolts
that will fasten into unobtrusive staples
or sockets in the floor, and make it impos-
sible to close the bed without unfastening
them or pulling up the floor. Every one
of them should have some protection of
this nature.
"a friend of mine who travels great
deal and often stops at hotels where fold
ing beds are used carries n strong nickeled
schain, like those used in hanging window
weights, In his valise, and at either end
there In Il good stout screw eye. The chain
Is about @ feet long and takes up scarcely
any room. When he strikes a hotel with
folding beds, he lets the bed down, screws
one Of the screw eyes in the floor on one
side of the bed at tho foot, carries the
chain over the frame and under the mat
tress to the other side, draws the chain
taut and sinks the other screw eye in the
floor This method would not be good
one to use in everyday practice, but my
friend adopted 1t after lie had had an adj
venture with one folding bed that nearly
cost him his life. Nobody should purchase
a folding bed that is not provided with
some attachment that will lock 1t so that
1t cannot be closed by accident. They are
as dangerous as unloaded guns. Utica

So much for the place and what Is done

from this new psychology? "Do you fell

Who, before Galilel, would have prophe-
sled that man should weigh the stars or
know their chemistry Yet there is much
ground for comparison between the posi-
tion of physical science then and that Of
mental science now. The popular opinion
of today is perhaps even less awake to the
fact that the world of mental phenomena
Is world of laws, susceptible to scientific
experimentation, than was the day OF Cali

physical phenomena.
Have the physical sciences changed aught
for man since the sixteenth century, Then
we must not forget how slow was the
growth and how long it took to arrive at
the laws of gravity and OF conservation. not
to mention those Of evolution. Expert

Is almost younger than its youngest stu

Oatmeal. Indian meal and hominy all re

water when put on to boil and long time
for boiling Have about two quarts Of
boiling water in large stewpan and into

wet with cold water. Boil one hour, stir
ring often, and then add half spoonful of
salt and boil an hour longer. If IL should
get too stiff, add more boiling water, or IL

boil it too much. The only trouble in cook
ing oatmeal is that IL takes long time, but
surely this should not stand in the way

Perhaps the majority of the readers have
read and speculated on one or more Of the
various theories respecting the so called
''canals" of the planet Mars. Are they
really the work of intelligent beings or are
they natural watercourses which flow from
their sources into the various lakes and
seas through an earth crust which lacks the
density to offer resistance to the current of
the moving watersp These questions, as
well as the scores Of others which will nat
urally suggest themselves to the reader,
will in all probability remain unanswered
throughout all eternity, but the fact re-
mains that the Marsian streams without
exception flow in straight lines and are of
uniform width from source to mouth.
In the region called Gopher Land" by the
astronomers two of these streams, about 20
kilometers apart throughout their lengths,
are intersected at right angles by third,
the width of which is the same as that of
the two main waterways. Then, again, tie
island of Hellas is provided with two
streams or canals which flow directly across
Il from ocean TO ocean. crossing each other
In the exact geographical center. These
and other facts lead to the belief that these
