writes as follows:
The Platinum process is decidedly
the most perfect process OF photo
graphic printing, as the metal 10 not
affected by any sulphurous fumes or
compounds such as are found In the At
mosphere. whereas other processes are
easily attacked by them.
THE impression is indeed unalter-
able and were it possible to hold q
platinotype print in the hand for say
eral hundreds Of years the paper would
crumble and rot away. but the photo-
graphic platinic image would remain
intact.

The following communication will ex-
plain itself:
Editor of The Spy
We do not feel that the contract for the
work of establishing the grade ana re-
locating Waite street was awarded fairly,
and we wish to correct the StatehSis
made in a Worcester paper that the plQ
received from us was 81 higher than thaI
of Messrs. jeremiah Barry and Mlchael
j. Rice.
No paper printed the total sum of the
bids or the separate bids on each speclll-
cation. and we wish them to be puollshea
that the public may see how the contract
was awarded and which bid was the
highest Wien bids are opened publicly II
is usually the case that each side gets
fair and impartial treatment, but In TINS
case favorites ruled.
The specifications called for bids on
1900 cubic yards of earth; 45Q CUBIC yardis s
of gravel 500 linear feet of railing, ~ CUBIC
yards of rock excavation, and for the con-
struction of one culvert complete.
We bid 29c. per yard for the eartn eX-
| cavation, or S522: SIPS per yard for the
gravel, or 1882 80; zoe. per foot on the
| railing or $3.50; $2.75 per yard Tor tne
rock Excavation, or $27 so, and $50 on the
culvert, total of 1892.
| Messrs. Rice and Barry bid SS3 per yara
| for Garth excavation, or S594 Tor the
whole; 81. 25 per yard for the gravel, or
s5sS, 50; 1Sc. Der foot for the railing, or
| S144; $1.75 per yard for the rock, or
| $17 so and S. for the culvert a total OF
Thus it will be seen that the contract
was rewarded regardless of the amount.
! and that any one except the right per-
| sons will be thrown down on any town
contract. c. D. Howe, G. e. Perry.

BIG GRASS FIRE RACED.
Leicester Had a Hard Fght-cock Fight
Held by Worcester and Leicester Sports.

Leicester April 2S.-An alarm of fire
was sounded at Cherry Valley about l
o'clock this afternoon on account OF a
grass fire in the field on the knoll back OF
Eli Golfers residence. The blaze started
at the upper end of the field from some
unknown source, and when discovered by
Jerry Mclaughlin was spreading rapidly
towards the Collier buildings, McLaugh-
lin went to Olney's mill, where the fire
bell is located, and the members OF Hose
2 soon had the hose cart out and speed
ing towards Golfers corner in a jiffy.
Several lengths of hose were coupled on
to the hydrant in front of Collier house
and the flames effectually checked Al
most all of the field was burned over, anu
the flames came within about 81 feet Oh
the buildings.
cester met in a field near a farm shorI
distance over the Paxton line this morn

RirRhIz Music,

One of the Kirghiz came into my
tent, and, squatting down, began to play
the kaumuss, three stringed instru-
ment played with the fingers. The
music was monotonous and of a melan-
choly cadence, but it harmonized well
with the surroundings and the moods
they inspired. In word, it was typic-
ally Asiatic. ! sat and listened to il
with pleasure, giving any imagination
captive to the music, the soft moaning
of the night wind, the gentle crackle OF
the fire. How many and many a night
did not spend thus during the long
years that followed listening to the
dreamy sounds of that primitive Klr.
ghiz instrument
How many dark, solitary winter
afternoon did | not while away in this
foolish fashion In course of time !
grew accustomed to the kaumuss and
derived as much pleasure from it as the
Kirghiz did themselves. In fact. | grew
fond of it. Its soothing music carried
my mind away into the fairy realms of
day dreams. My thoughts few far away

The FIYinK Eox.

The flying fox is very curious in
habitant of the forest near Moreton bay,
in east Australia 1t lives in fooks and
moves generally toward the dusk of the
evening, an the noise produced by the
heavy f1appi q of the SO called wings il
very singul r. The f1ocks like quiet
places, where there are large araucarian
pine trees, with an underwood of scrub
and creepers. The foxes hang in vast
numbers from horizontal branches of
the pine trees.
When there is a clear space among
the trees, all enormous number of the
animals ma be seen, and their noise
can be heart for directly they see any
thing unusual they utter a short bark,
something like the sound made by young
rocks. Often every branch is crowded,
and the young foxes are seen either flap
ping their wings and holding on with
their hind feet and with their heads
downward or snarling and fighting for
places,
Suddenly the whole take to flight
and flap their furry, winglike sides and
wheel around like heavy birds. Many
fly with their young holding on to them.
The creature is not true fox, aud
there is fold of skin which reaches
from the fore to the hind legs This is
called the wing, and it enables the
pteropus, as the animal is called to
float and turn in the air. -Philadelphia

An Indian Bridal Pair.

Once | saw a pretty thing, a young
bride of the kickapoos, on sort of Il
wedding trip. She was tall and slight.
and-so closely DO the members of a
tribe resemble one another-she looked
like the twin sister of her young hus-
band. At first they were accompanied
by stout old chief. but he left after
circus day. 1t is odd TO see an Indian
Ciief patroniZe the peanut and lemon
ade stands, and sit unmoved at the per
Torrance, and yet stand enthralled be
fore the cages of animals unknown on
his native prairies.
The bride and bridegroom spent
three or four days in the town, wander
Ing about as unconsciously as Adam
aud Eve IL Nhe garden. The man was
already masterful and protecting the
girl shy and subservient. Day after
day they walked hand In hand. looking
at everything people. shops. cattle
but never speaking to any one, never
even to each other yet deeply content
in the consciousness of cOmpanionShip.
They were living example of the hap
piness of simplicity, and while they
staid In the huStling town, made many
a civilized man and woman think of
how far their own conduct as wives
and husbands fell short of the standard
of this unconscious Indian pair.-Ains-

Women Teachers outnumber Men.

The advance of women as educators
is startlIngly and pleasantly set forth in
a recent issue of the London Times.
A writer in the official organ of the
association of school boards has com
piled some interesting statistics show
ing how vastly now women teachers
outnumber men. 1t says:
"In 1875 there were 10,S16 men, GER
tiflcated and uncertitcated, as against
1880 women. Last year these num-
bers had reached total of 27,504 in
the one case and of 74242 in the other.
That Is to say. within the same period
the increase of women teachers has n
good deal more than doubled that of
the men. Concerning the numbers of
pupil teachers-that system of appren-
ticeship which Matthew Arnold yigor-
ously defended after it had stood the
test of 40 years-the comparison is still
more striking. For while in 1919 there
were 10.S42 boys and 1S,4O3 girls In
the ranks of the pupil teachers. in 1898
the former class had diminished by
1860 to 6,977, and the latter had in
creased by S.02S TO no fewer than DC
431. Al this rate the ladies' will soon
have complete control of the educa-
tional problem"

These butterfly bedclothes are often
arranged with an intricacy that Is
quite curious and perplexing. Some
times a bed Is made so that each sep

attention to these means for the rescue

boat service is a voluntary one The
Royal National Lifeboat institution,
which controls the bulk Of British life
boats, was founded in 1924. 1t now has
over 300 ifeboats ON the shores of the
kingdom, and has been instrumental in
saving nearly 30, 900 lives The French
lifeboat service was established in 1868,
and has So stations, while it has been
the means of saving over 800 vessels
and 1000 lives.
The French service has one great ad
vantage over ours 1t is that the public
board of works always builds the first
lifeboat house at each station as it is
established, consequently relieving the
service Of great outlay The German
service was established in 1860, and

They MAY Ride,

Korea has finally decided to permit
her womankind TO ride on the street
cars at all hours of the day. This is
probably the greatest concession to
modern civilization ever made in the
Hermit Kingdom. Up to the time of
this spasm of enlightenment women in
Korea were not allowed upon the street
in the daytime. But at s o'clock in the
evening, at the ringing of a curfew
bell, men retired within doors and wo-
men sailed forth for exercise or pleas
ure, finding both streets and street cars
vacated for them. At the present time
that but few women have awaited
themselves of their new found liberty
