A WATER COOLER has been patented
which does not require ice. 1t is a
covered receptacle of cellular brick
ware, manufactured clay, sawdust and
asbestos fiber. In the process the saw
dust is burned out, leaving the prod
uct porous. The receptacle, with the
water to be kept cool within, stands in
a tray of galvanized iron, which holds
water to depth. of two or three
inches BY reason of the porosity of
the cooler and the forces of capillary
attraction the water in the tray con-
stantly rises through the cellular walls
and evaporates, thereby keeping the
water inside cool.

THE ORIGIN OF TATTOOING.
IT Dates So Far Back That 1t IL Lost In

0AGAAuAtys
Tattooing dates back so far that it is
impossible to discover when 1t was first
practiced, but it was one Of the prac-
tices that were prohibited to the Jews,
for in Leviticus 1928, is the follow
ing: "Ye shall not make any cuttings
In your flesh for the dead, nor print
any marks upon you." From this it
may be inferred that tattooing was
prevalent in the days of Moses. It is
custom that prevails among the savage
nations of the earth and tattooing is
practiced to this day, except where
Christianity and civilization have put
q stop to it. It was at one time years
ago, and Is yet, but not to such q
marked degree, a fad among sailors to
have various designs placed on the
body. It was also q fad among GER
tain class Of silly women to have their
lovers name tattooed on the arm or
breast. There are sailors in almost
every seaport at this time who are will
ing for consideration to place figures
on the flesh Of any who are foolish
enough to have disfguring marks
driven beneath the surface of the skin
with needle points dipped into coloring
matter.
