Identified by Pigeons.

"One of the queerest ways in which
the identification of dead man was
ever established said a prominent po-
lice official of Kansas City, the other
day, was that of man named Davis,
who was carrier pigeon fancier. He
had gone out to fly his birds and fell
dead of heart disease. Nobody knew
him and not line was on his person
as to who he was. He had two birds with
him. tied slip to ones tail on which
I wrote: Come, to the police station
and turned it loose. In an hour after
his son had appeared and identified his
father"

AN UNHEALTHY JOB.
Door Openers In Big stores Do Their
Work Between Hot and
Cold Air.

Door openers have the most I'M
healthy job on the list of occupations.
During the holiday rush all the big
stores have from two to dozen such
employees. They run principally to
boys. In the great office buildings men
do the work. Door openers are on
their feet from seven O'Clock in the
morning till business closes at six in
the evening, and it is pull and push
on the heavy doors all day long, al
lowing persons to enter or leave the
stores and buildings, without physical
effort or without coming into contact
with the cold latch handles. The work
is poorly paid for. The wages are
lower than those given to the ordi-
nary laborer, and the men and boys
engaged in it are supposed to keep
themselves neatly clad and immaculate
in linen. In some places uniforms are
provided for them.
Door openers are frequently miss
ing from their posts. New faces smile
on the regular frequenters or tenants
of buildings, who, passing in, inquire:
where's john or .Tim?" or what
ever the missing door openers name
may have been.
Pneumonia" is the general an
swer, and sufficient explanation.
For the door opener is exposed to the
coolest blasts of winter and the COM
Portable heat that comes from within.
Fills temperature is subject to such
constant changes that he cannot "dress
against" his conditions and sickness
comes inevitably.

INSIGNIA ON oVERCoATs.
Naval Uniforms on Shore Duty SURF
prise Some National Guard
officers.

During the recent convention of the
national guard officers at the Palmer
house several officers appeared wear
ing uniform overcoats with the hood
hanging down the back and bright new
shoulder straps glazing on the Shout
ders. These officers seemed to be un-
conscious of the unusual display, says
q Chicago exchange. Landsmen wear
insignia on the sleeves of their over
coats, narrow festoons of black silk
braid being all that is needed to tell
the grade. So as these officers entered
the clubrc ON with shoulder straps out
side their overcoats considerable COM
ment followed.
Whats the meaning CT that, do you
think?" was the question of one
grizzled colonel, who has participated
in two wars.
"Give it up his companion an
swered. Guess they are afraid we
won't know they are officers. First
thing you know some of these militia
men will wear shoulder straps on their
undershirts."
~ CLOSER inspection Ie'edleu tAe iacI
that the officers under discussion We're
naval militiamen. The uniform pre-
scribed for naval officers on shore duty
calls for shoulder straps On the over
coat, and they We're simply complying
with regulations. One of them ex-
pressed his disgust because of the en-
forced display and consequent ridicule
from those acquainted with the law,
but he was powerless.

IRON Giving Place to Steel.

Steel has almost superseded iron in
the manufacture of pipe and tubing I'M
til it is estimated that almost rs per
cent. of the entire product of the coun-
try is now made of steel. Up to a few
years ago wrought iron was used al
most exclusively. The lap-weld joint
proved serious objection, and the
change to steel has been rapid and COM
plete. Steel pipe is stronger, has long
err life and is less liable to corrosion.
Steel tubing has enabled the bicycle
industry to become revolutionized, and
pipe forms leading article in tonnage
of the steel industry in this country
and FOREIGN markets.

LADDER ON THE CHIMNEY.
The Various Purposes That 1t Is De-
signed to Serve on Tall
Smokestncks.

Slender iron ladders are often seen
attachedto great smolestacks, and espe-
cially to big lofty firebrick-lined stacks
of iron. Sometimes in the case of twin
iron chimneys standing close together
a light spiral stairway is run up be-
tween them to the top, serving the pur-
pose of ladder and being more con-
venient, says the New York Sun.
1t doesn't cost very much to build in
ladder as the chimney goes up, and
there is then in place permanent and
convenient means of getting at any
part of the chimney, inside or out, for
any purpose. Brick chimneys are
sometimes lined with fire brick, and
they are also sometimes built with
space between the hue and the outer
structure. If for any reason it should
be desired to get at the interior of Il
chimney the ladder affords ready and
convenient means of access to the top,
from which man can be lowered in a
bo'sun's chair. In the case of chimney
caps, built perhaps of number of
pieces, the ladder gives convenient
means, already in place, for getting at
the top of the chimney for any repairs
that may be necessary.
The more common uses of the lad
der, however, are those to which it is
primarily devoted on iron chimneys,
upon which it is most commonly found
to make more convenient the period
ical inspection of the chimney, and to
make the chimney easier of access for
its regular painting.
