RECITES A RECORD
JUDGE DENNIsoN REVIEWS WORK
OF THE APPELLATE COURT.

We're 24O0 Cases In the Supreme Court
at the Organization of the Kan
sas Court of Appeals Of Which Number
Nine Hundred We're Apportioned to the
Southern Dep.rtment-Of This Number
Six Hundred and Sixty-Four Have Beon
Disposed OF, Not Including the Dismis-
saIs-Decisions Handed Down.
The October term Of the appellate court
closed here yesterday and the judges
will go to their homes today. AT the
close of the work Judge Dennison made
an interesting address. He stated that
there were 2,400 cases in the supreme
court. Under the divisions fixed by the
legislature 900 cases were apportioned 10
the southern department. OF these 664
have been finally disposed Of, not includ-
ing the dismissals. Seven hundred cases
were apportioned to the northern depart
ment, leaving about 800 in the supreme
court. In docketing the cases OF the
southern department 113 cases had been
called and disposed in the western divis-
ion, 266 in the central and 30 IN the
eastern division.
Judge Dennison's remarks would indi-
cate that the southern department mas
been very busy. II the northern depart
ment has disposed Of as many cases, 1928
or more than half the cases in the SUI
preme court at the organization OF the
appellate court have been disposed Of. At
this rate the dockets of the higher courts
ought to De cleared with two or three
years more.

driving wheel several feet in diameter,
and operated by u treadie or u crank.
Run belt from the fan-wheel, over a
ruler attached to the side of the box, to
your motor, and have an arrangements
that will cause the fan to reyolve at an
extremely rapid rate.
At the bottom Of the box place pan
of heated water and start your mill.
Soon the water will become greatly agi-
tated and form itself into spirals az
little by little the surface is sucked
up, producing liquid cone several
inches in height, above which number
CT small drops will accumulate and fall
back in series of spiral showers.
Gradually there will appear vapory
hollow tube from the apex OF the cone;
this will gyrate upward toward the
fan and lose itself in the upper part
an exact reproduction of real water
spout. So strong is the current Of air
about this tube of vapor that twill cause
light objects such as straws and pieces
of paper which may be floating on the
surface of the water to be drawn up al
most to the top Of the box.
A little soap in the water will add to
the interest Of the experiment, as the
soap bubbles will be seen in violent
agitation Mt the foot of the cone.
You will notice that your waterspout
Is spiral tube of vapor which twists
its way upward after the manner of a
corkscrew. Now at the center OF this
nebulous spiral, forming it's cone, is q
current OF cool air shooting downward.
This current of cool air serves to con-
dense or thicken the vapor to some de-
gree, and il you blow puff of smoke
across the mouth Of your waterspout
you will see it at once go to the interior
Of che tube, gracefully roll itself into
slender cone, and make it's way down
TO che surface Of the water, represent
ing exactly what takes place when in n
real waterspout the clouds are sucked
down and mingle with the cone Of vapor
that rises from the surface of the agi-
tatcd sea.
The spiral column is the harmless
part OF waterspout, though we hear
tales Of ships being wrecked and even
Of small boats being drawn up into the
air by them. But this is done not by
the column of vapor, but by the invisi-
bic and terrific whirlwind that RACES
round (which, in your miniature re-
production, causes the straws and
pieces Of paper 70 mount into the air.
1t has been held by many that the
course of the waterspout is downward
and not upward, but this simple cxperi-
ment disproves this theory by showing
the formation of the column upon the
surface Of the water, the direction
taken by light objects and the descent
Of the smoke through the center.

When asked about teaching parrots

bicycle Racing L. Profitable

1t pays to be speedy bicycle rider.
Less than four years ago two Welsh
lads, the Linton brothers, worked in a
colliery near northern Wales, earning
less than so cents a day each. One of
them was taken up by shrewd cycle
trainer and broke all records for a
period of two years, at the end of which
time he died, leaving fortune of $780,
600. His younger brother. Tom Linton,
is now the greatest long distance rider
in the world. He has ridden 31E13
miles in single hour-that is to ~,
in each of the 800 seconds he trat led
over 90 feet of space. This mustnave
been done, of course, with a wheel Of
abnormally high gear, probably 100.
He has been riding only about two
years, but his earnings are estimated
at 100000.

THE HOTEL CHILD.

The hotel child who clatters through the
And shouts weary shout Of empty
Until some guest sends down an angered
call
And bellboys tell him he must stop it all
Oh, what a Life this life of his must be!
He goes to shows. But no tramp dog is his
To play with him in shed or field or wood:
He looks from windows-sees the white
steam fizz;
A forestry of blackened smokestacks is
The sum and substance of his "neighbor-
hood"
HIS wealthy father buys him pretty clothes:
HIS mother garbs him out all trig and
trim;
But. in all glory decked, do you suppose
That hungry hearted little magnate knows
One-half the blessings that accrue to him?
He looks sometimes from out his window
Across the intervening roof and sees
The watchmans child. who shouts greet
ing cry
To some young neighbor of loft near by
He wishes well he might be one of these
With uncombed hair and patches at his
knees
The hotel child, unloved but by his own,
Has plays and toys. The watchman's
boy has none.
But OF all dreams the rich mans heir has
known
The tondest is to be the watchman's son.

MINIATURE WATERsPOuT.
Experiment. which ANY Boy Can Try with
Apparatus Made by Himself

npPhH"suS uAauo W lAihAScAAs
We often hear Of the natural phenom-
enon Of the waterspout-that great
column of water ascending from the
ocean to the clouds in seeming defiance
of the law of gravitation. For the bene-
fit of those who would like to have
waterspout of their own this article will
slow how one may be made artificially,
in miniature, by means of very neat
and interesting experiment.
First, however, it will be well for the
experimenter to consider Che necessary
conditions of the original. He must
have water heated to degree that will
just allow vapor to arise, and he must
provide some mechanical means to pro-
duce that gyratory motion of the mir
which will whip the ascending vapor
into shape.
First secure strong oblong box open
at the top; this should be fastened firm
~ to table. This box should be about
three feet in height and two feet square
at the bottom, with one of it's sides OF
glass, so as to give view of the expert
ment; and the whole must be perfectly
water tight. Over the top construct a
sort of bridge or frame of wood about
one inch thick and four inches in width,
connecting the two opposite sides of
the box three or four inches above the
level of the top. Then, directly in the
center of your frame and beneath il,
fix small paddle wheel with four
flanges about four inches long; bring
the axle up through the frame, and at
tuch it to the other end of a very small
grooved wheel.
You must then provide n highly
geared motive power in the shape OF

French ThIers Clever Game.

A short time back a well-dressed
stranger called at a fashionable Jew
eler's shop in Paris and selected gold
watch and chain, value Els. Placing
on the counter his apparently we'll
lined purse, the customer tried on"
the watch and chain in order to Judge
OF the effect, when, suddenly CHANGING
out of the door, he shouted: Punch!
Punch. come here-come here, you
brute!" AS the dog did not obey he
ran out after it. Punch was clever
acconlplice, and ran all the faster the
louder his master called. When the
jeweler at last awoke to the fact that
he had been victimized, both dog and
master had disappeared.

Such good fortune, however, rarely
happens; it is the providential care of
fools. Only too often does the true
hunter, the man of nerve--who de-
serves success-meet with the fate Of
the young Englishman, who, though
scion of nobility, showed his Anglo
Saxon ancestry in his love of adventure.
His quest for big game had led him into
rough country which white men had
never before penetrated. Accompanied
by friend, also an Englishman, he was
riding merrily along, when he was sur
rrised to see very giant of rhipoceros
right ahead of him. Here was big game
and no mistake.
'By Heaven!" he called out to his
friend, "that fellow has big horn! 1
must get him, sure!" and Immediately
fired at the brute. He might just as
well have fired at stone wall, for the
ball had no effect on the rhinoceros
whatever other than to startle it. On
the second shot the rhinoceros con-
cluded it was time for disappearing, and
forthwith plunged into dense tangle
OF underground. In vain did the men
urge their horses through the tall brush
in search of the giant beast, but no.
where was he to be seen. They secured
the country round about in all direc-
tons, but to no purpose-the monster
had evidently vacated the neighbour
hood. Finally the young nobleman,
having lost all hope of ever seeing the
animal again, gave up the chase, and
was quietly sitting in the saddle wait
ing for his friend to come up, when
crash through the bushes came the big
rhinoceros at terrific speed. Instantly
the hunter saw his peril; quickly he
spurred his horse to fight, but too late,
for ere the faithful animal could fairly
start, the rhinoceros had disemboweled
him. The force of the charge was so
great as to cause the horse to make
complete somersault. The rider was
violently thrown to the ground, and be-
fore the dazed man could even attempt
to rise, the beast had gored him to
death.
All this happened 50 unexpectedly

could not realize what was taking place;

senses, it was only to zee the mangled
remains of his friend, over which stood
the rhinoceros in savage guard. No
bullet ever sped its vergeful way more
surely than the one now aimed at the
fendish murderer, and none with more
fatal effect. AS the sharp crack of the
rifle split the sultry air. the great brute
fell dead, right in his tracks and par

Chanres in bicycle Costumes.

An old cyclist observes that the style
of garments for wheelmen has changed
considerably in recent years. Five
years ago." says he, when great many
ordinary wheels were in use, the riders
were content to pin their trousers at
the bottom and let it go at that. But
gradually the wheelmen nave become
fastidious. The hobby golf suits were
apparently invented for bicycle riding,
and then the flowing boomers that
could not bag at the knee were intro
duced. To-day every rider takes pride
in his appearance. No matter how
poor he may be, he insists upon saving
enough money to buy a golf suit and
sweater, and usually gets around to
bicycle shoes and golfings. Thus fitted
cut he is off to the boulevards, where
fair damsels admire wheelman who is
properly dressed"

Look to the Bail Bearings.

One who has had much experience on
the road declaren that it is one of the
most foolish things a bicycle rider can
do to use his machine ii any of the
ball bearings are broken. This occurs
frequently and may easily be detected
by the hard running of the machine and
the grating noise which comes from
that part of the machine in which the
break occurs. AS soon as the break is
discovered the best method to pursue
is to remove the broken part at once,
as if left in it will destroy the cones by
wearing groove in them. 1t is SIM
pie matter to take the bearings apart
and the absence of bali or two will
rot materially affect the running of the
machine. The balls, when taken cut,
should be replaced as soon as practic-
able.

sene oil will do it, and, by tie way, kero-
sene will be used almost exclusively in
the new designs. Riders are told that
the wick should be turned low for two
or three minutes after it is first lighted,
until the flame is regulated.

dreamed Of. This style has, sixteen
lenses to one inch and sends little lights
shooting out in all directions. 1t is

proved upon. Give us sort OF cleo
trical contrivance," the cyclists say,
''and let us tell our troubles to each
other along the boulevards." Some
flashes might betray the presence of a
sparrow cop or tell man his wife was
on his trail.
Larger lenses and rejecting surfaces
are seen in all the '97 lamps, Even the
wind is fooled by one model. A novelty
match gun makes it an easy thing to
light the wick in the locomotive head

match is introduced inside of the lamp
before lighting. A gentle pressure Of

Gle show. These included those which
have proved faithful in the past and
others for which still better things are
expected. OF course it does not make
much difference what kind of a lamp
the wheel possesses. yet novelties are
the most earnestly sought after. The
pedestrian, however, asks nothing, save
that it be trimmed and burning so as to

A Black Rascal.

The raven is a "black rascal" He is
sinister, sly, melancholy and grim
visaged," although mischievous. Yet
there are people who keep ravens as
pets. Dickens had one, from whom
Grip, the famous raven in "Barnaby
Rudge," was drawn, and who died
from eating white paint, anything even
so distantly approaching purity neces-
sarily disagreeing with him. Unde-
tered from raven keeping the novel

ancholy bird, who came to an untimely
end through indulging too freely in
GLACIERS putty.
