Aluminium Safe Pencils.

New uses for aluminium are being
noted every day Perhaps the most
novel of recent applications Of this
metal is that for the construction of
aluminium slate pencils. Malon Won
S llich of Meinengen found that al
minimum gives a stroke on the slate
and a German company has under
taken the manufacture of pencils
based upon that fact. They are
about one-ffth of an inch in diameter
and need no pointing, while they ale
at the same time unbreakable and
well.nigh indestructible. The writing
is clear, but requires more pressure
than slate pencils demand A wet

Not long ago the Geographic dis
patches gave brief description of a
remarkable sect of people in Kansas,
whose code ofmorals is phenomenally
strict and who wear masks continu-
ally lest the sexes should see each
others faces. These extraordinary
people are occupying a homestead on
the Cheyenne reservation, and now
number about $50. Their belief is
exceedingly simple. They worship
an unknown god as represented by
life and deem it a mortal sin to look
upon the face of a human being.
Men and women wear masks day and
night, and never by any chance do
they gaze upon the face of one
another They teach morality in the
severest projection, not permitting
the two sexes even to dwell in the
same valley, their homes being about
two miles apart There is daily
religious service, when all come to a
central point, for such services are
in the open air, regardless of the

When Jaokson,s Nose Was Pull ed.

Mr.. James Carrigan, venerable
Baltimorean was living in Alexandria,
Va, on the memorable occasion when
Lieut.. Randolph pulled President
Jackson's nose. "Lieut. Randolph"
said Mr.. Carrigan recently, "who was
at sea in the service of the govern
ment, was, at the death of the purser
of the vessel, appointed purser, and he
was charged with appropriating $10,-
600 from the funds. He was tried and
found guilty, and President jackson
said to him, You are not fit to asso-
ciate with the chiYalry of America
Some time after that it happened that
the President and number of other
persons left Washington to attend the
laying of the cornerstone of the monu-
nent to Martha Washington. Their
boat stopped at Alexandria, and Lieut..
Randolph boarded her and walked up
to the President and began to take off
his glove. / wasn't there at that mo-
ment. but was told that the President
made some remark about there being
no need to remove his gloves. Lieut..
Randolph suddenly stretched out his
hand and pulled the Presidents nose.
/ saw Randolph running from the
wharf as | was about to go on the boat
to learn the cause of the commotion.
1 climbed up above the crowd to get a
look at the Presidents nose. for every
one of us felt that the whole country
had had its nose pulled. just then a
man named Thomas said to Jackson,
Mr.. President of the United States,

villain, to which heard Jackson say,

lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona fide cost basis.
"There is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall

Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in

1t will pay you to anticipate your
purchases in the line of Carpets.

marked on them will meet your ap-
proval and cause you to willingly part

of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet at

Our Moquettes, Art Squares, Rugs,
Mattings, Oil Cloths and Linoleums
are all dumped in the cost hopper.
These prices necessitate strictly cash
sales. Respectfully.

There is negro church in Somer-
vile and some funny things happen
there. Tt seems that there was little
recess behind the pulpit which was
used for the pastors dressing-room.
One day in heavy rain the fresco fell
with a crash upon the floor. Prepara-
tions were made to repair the damage
with the customary African prompt
ness. The pastor, however. soon got
disgusted, and one morning, after get
ting his feet covered with the dusty
mortar, he assembled the pulpit. CAST
ing his eye upon the dusky deacons of
the church he announced with dignity:
@Bredren and sistern, it gibs yo'
pastor great pain to call attention to
the state of affairs in dis yere church,
but, bredren, de gospel in dis yere
church must cease to be dispensed
with till de abcess in de rear OBJ de

Dining-Room Table Reform Needed.

There are a few more uncomfortable
and unwieldy things than the ordinary
extension dining table. The rack to
hold the leaves is a nisance, the joints
are always coming apart, and the en-
tire article is likely to grow shaky and
unmanageable.
1t is suggested that the leaves of the
table be arranged somewhat after the
fashion of the sliding shutters to
stores. They could be wound on a
cylinder and run in like the roll-top
desk. A very little extremely simple
mechanism would suffice to control
these leaves, which could be in narrow
sections or bars If accurately fitted
and adjusted there would be no diff
Guilty in managing table made in this
way, and the saving of labor and the
convenience of the new arrangement
would be great indeed.
Who has not taxed the arms almost
beyond endurance by pulling and tug
ging to lift the leaves into the average
tableP Such device would allow of
leaves having far less weight, and
these could be so adjusted that the
ugly space at the side of table when
partly extended could be done away
with. 1t is quite time that some inn
provement was made in this article of
furniture, for surely PROCESS in this
line for the last half century has been
very little to speak of.
By all means give US dining table
with an arrangement on the general
principle of the roll-top cylinder desk.

DIVING NINETY.FNE FEET.
Straight Downward Header OF Th omas
Burns at the London Aquarium.


London's latest thrill is derived from
the feat of a man who dives down
ninety-five feet from the roof OF the
Westminster Aquarium into narrow
and comparatively shallow tank OF
water, set in the floor of the building
The exploit calls for an astounding
combination of nerve and skill, and
is far more noteworthy than any OF
the bridge-jumping acts which have
been SO tiresomely frequent of late
years.
The diver is Thomas Burns, who has
acquired considerable notoriety as q
diver from bridges and as an expert
swimmer, and not little fame from
his having saved no fewer than thirty
two lives during his career. He is a
sturdily built man, some 20 years OF
age. He has frequently dived from
bridges over hundred feet high into
rivers, but his dive at the Aquarium
is very different affair. He stands
on tiny platform suspended among
the iron girders of the roof, ninety five
feet above the floor. and sees below
him, instead of broad, deep river, a
mass of flaring, bewildering lights, a
sea of upturned faces, and in the
wooden floor of the stage what seems
from that height to be a mere slot, the
tank which he must surely land in.
The tank is eighteen feet long, eight
feet wide, and seven feet deep. The
diver actually dives, takes header,
and does not drop feet foremost, after
the manner of the bridge jumpers.
The marvellous precision required to
land in the tank is easily appreciable,
as is also the fate that would befall
him should he miss his mark.
Burns is hoisted up to his aerial
perch by means of rope and pulley.
The spectators can barely discern him
through that distance of perpendicular
space. They see him peer over the
platform edge, then they see his toes
project over, he crouches down, and
then he glides off the platform head
foremost, and. comes plunging down
with stiff1y outstretched arms, and
hands meeting in front of him in
regular "header' fashion. But when
little more than half way down his
feet fall over his back toward his head,
he turns almost completely over, and
before the murmur of excitement and
horror that is the usual accompani-
ment to the dive has voiced itself he
strikes the water with his shoulders
and back with a prodigious thud. He
skins just under the surface of the
water, seeming barely TO enter it, and
comes up face upward. He scarcely
breathes hard after the tremendous
exploit, and goes off Immediately to
give an exhibition of fancy swimming
in another part of the building. The
wonderful skill, the superb pluck, and
the unmistakable element of danger
involved in the feat, together with the
not remote prospect of horrible
catastrophe, bring crowds to behold
this latest sensation.

Escape of Natural Gas.

On the farms of Charles Rowe and
Daniel Pensinger, in Green township,
near Portland, Ind, there is claimed
to be peculiar natural phenomenon.
For nearly six months past natural
gas has, it is said, been coming up in
various places on these two farms.
The gas escapes over tract of land
which covers about forty acres, and,
when lighted, will burn to the height
of three or four feet. A number OF
drillers state that at least 5000, 600
feet of gas finds its way through the
ground and goes to waste every day.
They also say that it is not shale gas,
or the supply would be exhausted, but
that it comes direct from the Trenton
rock, through assures caused by inter.
nal explosions.
