Dippers of liquid sir will be passed around for the audience to see, touch. and feel. The marvellous powers of liquid air will be shown by experiments such as the freezing of water, flowers, various kinds of fruit. meat, carbonic acid gas. alcohol and mercury. Ice placed in liquid air will be seen to act like red hot iron in water Beef, butter and many other substances become so brittle that they can be broken by 8 hammer like marble.

CARRIER REGISTRATION
BIG SAVING IN TIME

The public seems rather slow to
avail itself of the use of the new sys-
tenn of registration of letters and
packages by mail carriers, Consid-
cradle pains have been taken by the
postoffice department to inform the
people of the posi- bilities of the sys-
ten. but the results have not been
satisfactory. 1t is suggested that in
the sending of Christmas presents
registration by carriers will afford eX-
ceptional opportunity for economy of
time.
Figures have been received at the
Rock Island postoffice showing the
remarkable growth of the money
order business of the department
during the past year. For the year
ending June 80, 1900, $4,000. 9S3
domestic orders were issued, an in
crease of 3,053,11 over the previous
year. International orders to the
number of 1.1O2. 067 were issued, an
increase of 1873 500 The aggreg4 ate
amount of the orders was S23S, 921,-
009 81. being an increase of $30,711,-
664.77. The receipts from fees was
81, 765, 936.S6, or 1878. 1923 greater
than those of the previous year.

has 100 members. While some of the
OF her orders of fraternaI Insurance
societies of this city have deteriorated,
the Maccabees have had a phenome-

pairing to initiate a uniform rank,
which will add materially to the en-
features of the tent.

of the Cincinnati team.
McPhee is one of the oldest men in

was not very successful last year.

And Rock Islanders Are Obliged
to Wait Several Hours
at AnnaWan.

The officers and forester team of
Camp 20, NJ. w. a of this city, were
placed in rather bad light early this
morning at Annawan, whittier they
had gone to exemplify the secret work
of the order before the local camp last
evening. If the light had not been so
bad perhaps the party would not have
failed to get the proper train and
would have reached Rock Island be-
fore the average citizen was out of
bed.
The first train west from Annawan
after midnight passes through the
town about 2:30 a. IN. 1t is through
train and does not stop unless tagged.
When it slowed down at Annawan
this morning the Rock Island party
was waiting in the gloomy SHADES of
the depot. The conductor was stand
ing on the step with his lantern, look
ing for passengers. when he spied the
bristling beard AID determined visage
of NJ. Il. Stevens emerging from the
shadows. Back of him stalked sturdy
forms armed with glittering axes.

This was too strong for the knight of
the punch. With wonderful pres
cnce of mind he swung his lantern in
one desperate signal, bolted into the
car and licked the vestibule. So the
train rolled on and the ''Hold-up" party
was left at its own disposal till the
next train arrived at > O'CLOCK.

Jealousy Among Monkcy..

When monkey gives way to jeal-

the animal that has innOcently aroused
its malice that makes it for the time a
monster of cruelty.

tours in tropical lands was a monkey
which became n great friend of the
stcwardesS. One day she fed another
monkey, a pretty, gentle creature. This
trifiing attention enraged the other
monkey, which cOaxed the little thing
TO its side and then, before the stew
ardess had time to realize that mis-
chief was meant. took it by the neck
and flung it overheard.
OF another monkey the same person
tells that while preparing dinner for a
grand party the cook was absent from
the kitchen for a minute. No sooner
had her back been turned than the
monkey slipped a kitten of which it
had always been jealous into the soup
