LIQUID OR SOLID?
Upon This Question Regarding As
phaIt a Trial in n Trinidad
Court Hinged.

Down in Trinidad, where most of the
asphalt used in paving the streets Of
Chicago is produced, opinion is divided
as to whether the substance may be
classed as liquid or a solid. Upon this
issue, says the Chicago Chronicle,
a recent trial in Trinidad turned.
The stratum of pitch in that island is
usually from four to seven feet below
the surface, and, when cut through,
the pitch melts and oozes out. So, if
a man dug down near his neighbours
lot, he would be able to collect pitch
coming from under his neighbours
land. The plan was described by one
of the witnesses as 'the plan adopted
when you want to dig your neighbours
pitch" 1t ''bulges out" he explained,
land you shave it off each morning."
But suit was brought by one outraged
neighbor whose pitch had thus been
shaved off in adjoining land. The de-
Tense was that an underground stratum
of pitch was like so much water, no
mans property until appropriated.
But the court held that pitch was a
and that you had no more
right to abstract ii from a neighbor
by the oozing process than you would
have to tap his deposit of iron or silver.

A FRESH CROP OF HAIR.
Terror at the Danger of His Son
Causes Mans Hair to
Change Color.

Everyone has heard stories of men
and women becoming gray-haired in a
night as the result of grief or terror.
Many of these tales are doubtless the
mere imaginings of the writer's of
sketches, but that such phenomena are
of occasional occurrence has been
fully demonstrated. A Chicago physi-
sian relates this instance in a medical
journal and vouches for its truth: The
subject was a laboring man in the
stockyards district, aged SO, who was
not of a nervous temperament beyond
being slightly emotional. His hair
was abundant and of dark chestnut
color. One evening as he was return
ing home preceded by his horse, on
which was mounted his son, aged eight,
the animal slipped and the child was
thrown off and trampled on several
times. He was only severely bruised,
but the father thought he was killed,
and in trying to save him was terror
stricken. He trembled and had palpi-
tations and feeling of cold and ten
sion in the face and head.
Next day the hairs of the head, beard
and eyebrows began to fall in quanti-
ties, so that after eight days he was alb
solutely bald. At the same time the
skin of the head and face became paler.
Without delay the hairs began to grow
again in the form of a colorless down.
Soon all the affected regions were COW
cred with finer, more silky and a little
more thinly sown, completely white

THE ICEMAN'S LOSS.
According to a Calculating Barber III
Figures Out to Be Con-
siderable.

How'd you like to be the iceman?'
artistically executing a quickstep on
the razor strop when the above little
dirty foated in from the busy thor
oughfare, causing a smile of contempt
to fit across his features, says the Phil
adelphia Record. THAT simply makes
me weary" he remarked, as with a
flourish he daubed the patrons face.
"You hear that latest acquisition in the
way of slang phrases repeated by men
of every station, just as if the iceman's
lot was an earthly paradise. AS mat
ter of fact, the individual who embarks
on a career which involves the market
ing of CONCEALED moisture doesn't have
to run around searching for his trou-
bles. How many people, do you sup
pose, ever think of the amount of
money that drips right out of the ice
mans hands when the sun beats down
on his heavily loaded wagon? Don't
amount to much, Ell? Well, you'll
change your opinion when bring up
few figures for your consideration.
Starting out with ton of ice, esti-
mate that melting alone causes dead
loss of about 100 pounds to the dealer.
This doesn't seem much, but when you
calculate that about 1000 wagons day
right here in town lose that amount the
figures are amazing. One hundred
thousand pounds, at, say, ten cents
per hundred, runs up the tidy sum
of 500. Three hundred and siXty-five
times 800 gives us the annual loss To-
cally as $36,50O. Takes little nerve,
doesn't it, to be an iceman? Then,
if during the summer these drippings
could be collected, l figure that they'd
supply all the hospitals in town with
ice water baths for sunstruck patients.
Frozen into a solid lump, if the entire
of these drippings could be collected,
I figure as ten-story building. Then
again, the waste when the cakes are
cut is enormous, to say nothing of
what vanishes into the air when the
ice is whisked clean with brush
broom. But without going into further
details, I think you'll agree that the
man who peddles ice has enough trou-
BILE to worry him into an early grave.
