but it was supposed to have been from a
defective hue, as the flames were burst

The fireman found 1t difficult to check
the progress of the fire owing to the fact
that they could not get to it easily.

business center, next to the Methodist
Church and within a few feet of some
wooden structures that might have COM

houses.

Yellow snow.

Yellow snow has fallen in the Enga-

March. AS an occasional sungleam
turned it into gold it seemed that in
the expiring century a bona fide mira

ascribe the weather department to
Jupiter, would probably have revived
the scandal OF Danae But the Swiss,
who are nothing, if not practical, col
lected their snow in a bucket and sent
it to the public analyst at st. Moritz
Here the golden snow deposited a sedi-
ment of a light brown color, while a
fine film floated on tSe waters surface.
The microscope revealed that the lat

structureless, and varying in color
from white to yellow, and the sediment
proved to be the finest sand or dust.
Traces of vegetable organism were also
found in the floating scum. But the
gold in the snowfakes was due to the
presence of sand. The winds were
north and northeast about that time,
so the dust is assumed to have come
from North Germany, Russia or Hun
gary; at any rate, from a soil highly
ferruginous, dry and generally Guilt

Directions for Burial.
Lieutenant Yoshibumi Funigawa OF
the l. j. N. left behind curious re-
quest to his family few days prior to
his death. which occurred in his native
district of Hizen. He observed to his
family that as he had never had time to
investigate religious questions deeply
enough to enable him to determine
which faith he should embrace he was
neither prejudiced against nor partial
toward any form OF religion. However
he himself was OF the opinion that his
soul would perish with the cessation Of
his life, while his remains would crum-
BILE to dust. Therefore he did not wish
to have any religious service performed
on his behalf
The funeral also should be as simple
as could be and flowers and similar Of
ferings be strictly declined. No an
nouncement should be made of his
death to friends of his until four or
! FIVE days after the funeral. Two or
three weeks after his death his rela-
tives and friends should be invited to a
banquet and they should be asked TO
enjoy the occasion as heartily as posi-
BILE. A priest might be invited. if the
presence of such a parsonage were
deemed desirable. At the funeral also
nobody should accompany the bier. ex-
cept, if considered necessary, one OF
two representatives on behalf OF the
family ard relatives might follow the
remains TO the grave. The tomb was
to be of the simplest description, only
his name to be inscribed upon it. \

The Girl and Her shoe Lace

An ingenious maid was lacing her
walking shoes recently when the lace
broke. That was not the worst of it
she was in a hurry. and no string was
available. In her drawer, however, was
a piece of elastic tape-not the round
elastic. but a size larger. This, in her
extreme need, she cut into lengths and
laced into a tie. So well did the knots
hold and so elastic and yielding was
the sensation. that she uses the tape
altogether, and cares not a bit for or
binary shoe laces.

A portable X-ray apparatus intended

by Professor Reginald A. Fessenden, of

is stated that the new machine will be
about as large as a Webster's diction-
airy, and will weigh only 25 pounds. 1t
will be operated by a small gasoline
motor or gas turbine which will not
weigh more than 25 pounds. The cleo
trio generator used is said to be the
smallest ever made for practical pur-
poses, yet the outfit will enable sur
geons to see clear Though the body. 1t

photographs in Decoration.

Photographs can now be used for the

long been the custom to display photo

Gently have they been considered pos
sibilities in actual decoration by fash
ionable households. Frames are being
laid aside and the cards are tackled on
the walls as they are.
Everywhere on the walls OF every
room except the parlor and dining
room (and even these apartments are
not exempt nowadays in country
houses) are photographs to be found.
The more the better, and, OF course,
to be quite the thing they must all be
photographs OF people. not photographs
of scenes or amateur efforts, though a
well-taken amateur group OF single
picture is allowable. The fashion.
however. is the lavish displaying of in

the day TO empty each album, each box
and each case and tack up their con
tents.
: The pictures. however. must not be
put on the walls Unfortunately; they
must be arranged in patterns set in

the walls in wheels, stars or some de-
sign of that nature. Brass headed
taclxs Of small size are to be used, and
the varied effects that may be shown
in house are indicative of the de-

of the family who has superintended
