An amusing incident occurred recently
at the Paris exposition, before the auto
matte machine in the grounds which sup
niles a photographic portrait of some
celebrity or other to anyone who puts n
coiu in the slot. An elderly and very
matroniy lady. being under the impress,
sion that this was the new contrivance
for taking photographs of which she had
heard so much. duly inserted the coin in
the aperture: then. posing herself before
the machine. and. assuming her most

the result After IN interval Of few
seconds the result came but, alas. when
the lady opened the drawer the photo
graph she extracted displayed the figure

On the grounds selected as the site q

says the Boston Transcript, contains
more OF these relics than South Carolina,
and some of these are not only notable
as antiques, but have the added value Of

Unique among the industries Of The,
great Southwest stands the capture, sale
and expectation of that remarkable sau-
rian. the ella monster. This creature.
who finds its habitat on the dry and
sandy mesas of southern Arizona, has
been for years accorded chief place in
the quartette Of Arizona horrors-which
also includes the RATHER, the tarantula
aud the scorpion. Contrary TO his eStab-
lished reputation. however. the ella
monster Is, as a rule. a comparatively in
offensive member OF society, contenting
himself with basking in the sun, pulling
like n steam engine and sending forth a
grccnish, frothy slime from his mouth.
According to the Chicago American,
there is at present boom in the ella
monster industry; museums. natural his.

the vacancy caused by the requested res

ent principal Of the school, after Il brief
visit in the city, during which he called
on the members Of the Indignation COM
mlttee and had a conference with the
school board, finally decided to with
dtaw from the contest Asked as to his
reason for taking the action he did, he
said: Il do not feel justified. in open de-
fance of the expressed will of the north
side people, in accepting the position to
which | have been elected by the school
board. | appreciate the situation and
while realizing that there is always more
or less Of reaction. still / feel that
can better serve the interests OF educa-
ton by remaining away. If it is true
that the residents Of the north side do
not want me'to take charge of the school
then | have too much interest in educa-
tlonal affairs to go into a community
and disorganize its school system" The
decision of Prof Hyer was Il surprise
to the members Of the school board
Prof Evans has withdrawn his rcsigna-
ton and sent in an application for reap
p0iEtment to the position for next year.
The application has not yet been acted
upon by the school board. A meeting of
the board will be called as soon as O. A.
Alter, clerk of the board, RECEIVERS from
his illness. Prof. Hyer does not ex-
pect to seek his former position as prin-
cipal OF Rhinelander high school.
