Birds are commonly credited with an
extraordinary range of vision. Circum-
stances lend aid to the development Of
the mental factors in their case. The
usual distance at which terrestrial
species use their eyes is limited by the
ground horizon. But in the case of the
soaring birds, such as vultures and
eagles, the horizon, the natural limit Of
sight, is enormously extended.
Macgillivray early noted that though
birds of prey have orbits of great size
the eyeball of the common buzzard be-
ing ! IN inches in diameter-they do
not, as a rule, soar when seeking their
prey.
The eagle when hunting flies low,
just as do the sparrow hawk and the
henharrier Yet the vultures and con
dors, birds which admittedly do soar
when seeking food, have been proved to
find carrion by sight. A carcass was
covered with canvas and some offal
placed upon it. The vultnres saw this,
descended and ate it and then sat On the
covered portion within few inches Of
a putrid carcass. When hole was made
in the covering they saw and attacked
the food below But the rapid congre

His Palmv Days Arc Gone.

The juggling fakir, having been driv-
en- from more lucrative schemes, has
been reduced to a very common level.
One of the class who was recognized as
having worn diamonds five years ago,
and who was known as one Of the most
skillful shell workers in the country,
was the center Of an eager group Of boys
in the rear Of big store at dinner hour
Saturday. He was seedy and run down,
and wreck Of bis former days, indicat-
ing that the she'll swindle is too well
known nowadays to be successfully
worked.
He had basket in front Of him, con
tanning a number Of small paper bags.
In one hand he held pretty gold ring,
and this be pretended to put into one Of
the bags Then he shook the pile up.
tPick it out for q cent, boys NJ be
cried many times.
''It's in that one, cried one. There
it is, shouted another. and SO the boys
vigorously guessed, but they didn't pro
duce the pennies.
When the observer left, the decayed
thimble rigger was still monotonously
and despairingly calling out:
''Pick it out for a cent, boysl There s
no deception. and the lucky boy gets a
gold ring worth $50 Pick it out for a

MINERAL MoOL-
The Process by Which the Useful snicate
Cotton Is Produced.

The Process by Which the Useful snIcate
Cotton IL Produced.
Of those who know what mineral
wool is, OF silicate cotton, az it il some
times called, probably only a small
number are familiar with the simple
process by which it is made. The wool
itself, serving a variety Of useful pur-
poses, as nonconducting covering
against heat and cold alike, for steam
pipes and cold storage room walls, as a
sound "deadener' in floors Of buildings
and as means Of fireprOofng, among
many others, IS, as its name implies, a
soft and woolly substance, consisting of
a mass of very fine mineral fbers inter
lacing one another in every direction,
and thus forming an endless number Of
minute air cells.
The wool appears on the market in a
variety Of colors, principally white, but
often yellow or gray and occasionally
quite dark and il made BY converting
scorial and certain rocks while in a
molten state into a fibrous condition BY
steam blast directed against the liquid
material Blast furnace Stag forms the
raw material for one variety of the wool
and sandstone for another, yielding re-
spectively Stag wool and rock wool, the
latter being preferable for pipe covering
because Of the absence from it Of sui
phur, which, with moisture present, be-
comes an active corroding agent.
The furnace Stag OF the rock, as the
case may be, is melted in a large cupo-
La, and as it trickles out at the tap hole
i'll a somewhat sluggish stream it meets
a high pressure steam jet which atom
ICES the woolen mineral, if it may be so
termed, blowing it in fleecy clouds into
the storage room provided for it. Soft
and downy, the stuff settles wherever a
resting place affords itself, the heavier
and easier wool coming down first, while
the lighter portions are blown farther
along by the force Of the steam and set
tie in the more distant parts Of the
room, the material thus naturally grad
ing itself into varieties Of different
quality
a thousand pounds Of wool per hour
are turned out by one Of the cupOlas,
and after the storage room has been
blown full the tiocculent mass il pushed
into bags, ready for the market The
whole process affords an admirable and
interesting illustration Of the utilization
of an utterly waste product. -Cassieri s

Brooch and Chatelaine.

The day Of the brooch and chatelaine
for watches il over. The watch chain
again asserts itself. Watches DO longer
swing from enameled flowers or jew
eled bars. Instead they are hidden
away in watch pocket, and q black
silk cord or a narrow ribbon is their
main support. Old fashioned broad gold
watch chains are not yet the vogue, but
as time goes ON they probably will be.
At present silk cords in black and dark
shades are considered the proper thing.
Summer girls. however, are substitut-
ing for the gold watch chain a narrow
satin ribbon which matches in color the
gown with which it is worn. A few ex-
ceedipgly fine gold chains are seen.

LITTLE DANES AND MEN.


We must all remember when
We were little danes and men,
Ehen each sorrow tugged away with all it,
might
At our little hearts and eyo~
Till the air was full Of sighs
end the brightest day was turned 70 darkest
night
How we'd weep,
How we'd creep
To our little beds to sleep,
With wet lashes on flushed faces; even then
Not soul wonld ever know
Half our agony, and 80
We should sympathize with little danes and
men.
We must all remember when
We were little danes and men
When we meet the little ones from day TO day
kind word is just as cheap,
And it sinks TO depths as deep
AS the harsh one you were sending down their
way.
If you knew
How a few
Gracious acts and words from you
Were planted in their souls, to blossom when
Golden days Of childhood seem
To be shadows OF a dream,
You would love and cherish Htlle danes and
men.

Rev. Paul Met2enthin, pastor Of the
Reynoldsville Trinity Lutheran church,
and Miss Elizabeth, eldest daughter OF
Henry Priester the furniture dealer,
were united in marriage in the Luther
an church at ll.0O a. NJ. yesterday. A
half hour before the time set for the
services the church was packed by peo-
pie who were anxious to see the cere-
mony. The bridal party arrived at tho
church in carriages on time and Us the
procession moved up the aisle Mrs.
Henry Herpel played Billman's march
on the organ. The church was hand
somely decorated. Rev. Il. Metzenthin,
of Steelton, Pa, father Of the groom,
dressed In his clerical robe, conducted
the services in the church and per-
formed the marriage ceremony, which
was the ring service. Rev. +. Metzen-
thin read the l2lst Psalm; choir sang
an anthem and the officiating minister
delivered twenty minutes address in
the German language in fact the Ger
man was used in all the service. After
the ceremony, which was concluded
with the benediction, the choir sang
"Jesus still leads on" and congratula-
tions were in order by the bridal party,
and then they passed out of church.
After the bridal party got out many of
those inside were so anxious to see the
newly welded pair drive away from the
church they overlooked politeness and
crowded out as if life depended on a
hasty exit from the church.

Chas. Milliren, of this place, and Ed.

the mountains of Clearfield county last
week for huckleberries, and succeeded
in bringing three bushels of the blue
berries home with them, but had an
extra trip to the neighborhood of Clear
field on account of their horse. They
camped out Thursday night and some
time during the ''snoozing" hours the
beast got loose and left camp. The only
alternative for the "Strawberry blonde"
and his. companion in the predicament
to do was to borrow "wild west" pony
from mountaineer and by that means
get their tired frames and huckleberries
to their respective homes. They ar
rived home all o. X. but the horse had
failed to materialize at its accustomed
oats trough. The young men started on
the back track and found their animal
receiving good care at West Liberty.
The pony was returned TO its owner and
the berry pickers got back to their
homes in time to ''turn in" at q reason
