stream 700 feet a powerful search1ight

Milwaukee beat will surpass it--havinS
all of it's good points, but none of it's de-

The plans of both boats were drawn by
the same architect, who has been able to
see the defects in the Illinois and profit
by them. Aside from this. members u
the board of public works have visited
Chicago and in company with the archi-
tect have discussed the shortcomings of
that vessel with the firemen and en-
gineers that operate IL. and have in this
way gained valuable hints which have
been incorporated in the plans for the

Ohi Charity DOles.

In no other city in the world are so
many solemn jokes cracked annually
in the name ol charity, and without
the least intention OF humor, as in the
city of London. 1t all comes from the
eccentricitics of persons long dead
several centuries in one or two IN
stances-as expressed in queer chart
table requests and fulfilled religiously
to this day. providing the funds have
held out and the rites commanded by
the tcstator were not too ridiculous.
Best known of all the "doles' to the
poor of London is the one given out
every Good Friday at historic ana
picturesque ST. Bartholomew church.
in Smithfield, established in 1928, for
it is still embellished with the quaint
old ceremony that seems to have been
thought necessary in the l4oO ana
1500s, but of which icOnoclastic Lon
do noflicials have stripped most OF the
charitable requests that date back to
those days. Just after the morning
service on Good Friday any visitor
to the old churchyard hidden away
behind great gaunt st. Bartholomew S
hospital will find exactly 81 shabby
clad, faded old women watching with
intense interest as the vicar of st.
Bartholomew lays on one of the an
cient tombstones in the chnrchyard
exactly 81 new siXpences When he
has deposited them all the old women,
who are now letter-perfect in their
parts, trudge forward, one by one,
and when all the coins have been
taken each of the old creatures has
"hot cross bun" bestowed upon her.

While China Is as autocratlc ms Is

This may seem n paradox, but, at the
worst, the Chinese Government Is

rule family. Lawsuits are abhorred.

in which there was finding for the
plaintiff, but because his conduct had
not been perfectly just the amount
assessed in his favor was ordered to

If magistrate fails OF his duty he
is set upon by mob and dragged
from his chair, and the insignia of his
office are removed, especially his otii-

may see for themselves the inconve-

Three Pounds OF OH Makes Thirty Gal

AS fonr-fifths of the oil extracted
from lavender is concealed in the
bloom the harvest takes place just be-
fore the flower begins to fade at the
end of August. The oil is distilled
by means of steam, which is compelled
to penetrate the closely packed law
ender, afterward being drawn off in
pipes that run through cold water. In
this manner the steam is recOnverted
into water. but the process Of passing
through the lavender has extracted the
oil, which floats on the surface of the
water as it runs into glass jars down
below. These jars have spouts in the
center, thus enabling the water to run
out while the oil collects above the
level Of the exit. In this the first
stage the oil is of brownish- blue
tint and it now has to be refined by
passing once more through water
Thus all impurities are removed and
the oil runs out white save for a very
pale blue color similar to that OBJ
served in paraffin. The oil Is put into
bottles for expectation or made up
into lavender water for home use.
Three pounds of oil will make thirty
gallons of the perfume. The major
ity of ladies would be surprised II they
were informed that bottle of laven-
der water contains but about thin
bleful of pure OIL for larger proper
ton would not only render the water
too strong for use but would burn

Prof. w. j. MCGEE of the Ethnologi-

ity for the statement that no such
thing as human petrifaction has ever
been discovered. He does not claim
that it cannot exist, but simply states
that all cases of petritied human be-

Recently letter forwarded to the
bureau stated that the head of man.
reported to BE- petritied, had been dis
covered somewhere in the wilds Of
New Jersey. Later came the mystic
rious head, and a convocation of learn
ed scientists gravely held council over
it. They We're disappointed. The head
turned out to be limestone boulder,
curiOusly fashioned, it is true, into
features very like human beings. but

Another case which at the time
looked as though it would explode all
of the old theories and prove to be the
real things, was that Of a body Of Il
woman. which Il company had been
exhibiting throughout the West as the
only petrilied woman. She excited
much attention and the notice Of the
scientists at the chronological Bureau
was drawn to the case. THE only
petritied woman" was forwarded to
Washington and an investigation was
held. The scene of the inquest was
a gruesome affair. 1t was late on a

The cats of Maine have been max
ing new records for queer doings
lately. A Portland woman owns a
striped tabby that cries for hot water,
and is not appeased until a saucer of
water as hot as any one could drink
is poured out for her. The cat has
been drinking hot water for six
weeks, and seems to thrive upon it.
How she acquired the habit no one
knows.
A Biddeford man has a two-lcggcd
cat that he raised from a kitten. Tom
is big and has beautiful black coat,

the right shoulder a small bone pro

goes about with ease, not seeming to
mind his deformity.-I.ewiston Jour,
