ST. Christopher.

The belief was that any one who
looked at a representation Of st. Chris
TOPPER was safe for that day from an
evil death. The saint was always por
trayed of colossal size and is so paint
ed at the entrance of most Spanish ca
thedrals that all may see him. None Of
the many carved figures of this saint
approaches in size one which was re-
moved from Notre Dame at Paris in
17S5.
1t was said that st. Christopher's
original occupation was to carry people
across stream, and the legend is that
once a child presented himself to be
conveyed over. At first his weight was
what might be expected from his in
FAINT years, but presently 1t began to
increase and so went on till the ferry
man was like to sink under his burden.
The child then said: wonder not, my
friend. am Jesus, and you have the
weight of the sins of the whole world
on your back" Hence st. Christopher
is represented carrying the infant Saw
Jour across river with the globe in his
hand.
st. Christopher has an interesting
place in the history of typography in
consequence of a wood engraving Of
his figure, supposed to be of date about
1923, being the earliest known example
of that art.

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH
1t IL Dnhrein, on the Southwestern
Coast of Persia.

The hottest region on the earths sur
face is on the southwestern coast of
Persia, on the border of the Persian
gulf. For 40 consecutive DAYS in the
months Of July and August the mer-
curry has been known to stand above
100 degrees in the shade night and day
and to run up as high as 100 degrees
In the middle of the afternoon.
At Bahrein, in the center of the most
torrid belt, as though it were natures
intention to make the place as unbear-
able as possible, water from wells Is
something unknown. Great shafts have
been sunk to a depth of 100, 200 300
and even 500 feet, but always with the
same reSult-no water. This serious
drawback Notwithstanding compare
lively numerous population contrves
to live there, thanks to copious springs
which burst forth from the bottom of
the gulf more than a mile from the
shore.
The water from these springs is OBJ
tanned in a most curious and novel
manner. "Machadores' divers, whose
sole occupation is that of furnishing
the people Of Bahrein with the life CIV
ing fluid, repair to that portion of the
gulf where the springs are situated and
bring away with them hundreds of
bags full of the water each day. The
water of the gulf where the springs
burst forth is nearly 200 feet deep, but
these machadores manage to fill their
goatskin sacks by diving to the bottom
and holding the mouths of the bags
over the fountain jets-this, too, with
out allowing the salt water of the gulf
to mix with it
The source of these submarine foun-
talns is thought to be in the hills of
Osmond 400 and 500 miles away. Be
ing situated at the bottom of the gulf,
1t is a mystery how they were ever
discovered, but the fact remains that
they have been known since the dawn
Of history.

ANIMAL LIFE.

The army worm is essentially a
grass eating insect, though it often
feeds upon other plants, and is said to
prefer oats to corn.
The malaptecurus, fish only eight
inches long, can develop a shock of 200
volts of electricity In the two-thou
sandth part of a second.
Several pairs Of pigeons which a sci
enlist has observed in Paris have rails
ed their young in nests made entirely
Of hairpins collected on the paths Of
the Luxembourg.
The largest nest in the world Is built
by the mound bird, q sort of Austria
liam fowl 1t makes mounds some
times $50 feet in circumference, in
which it buries its eggs five feet deep
The heaviest bird that flies is the
great bustard. In size it exceeds the
Norwegian blackjack. The old males
weigh about 35 pounds, but when food
is plentiful the young males may
weigh 40 pounds. Great bustards were
formerly as plentiful In western
Europe as cartridges. Now they are
rarely found.

THE HANDBILL NUISANCE.
Carried to Extremes In the City of
Philadelphia.

The handful and dodger method for
wasting advertising appropriations is
perhaps more popular in Philadelphia
than anywhere else, and 1t is so be-
cause the newspapers of that city seem
to consider it little undignified to get
out and hustle to persuade people such
advertising does not pay. One phase
of the nuisance such advertisements
may become is adverted to by City and
State a weekly Of that city, in these
words:
I'm some parts Of town, and espe-
cially in the residential portions, what
has been commonly called the waste
paper nuisance has been worse during
the last few weeks than 1t was before
the ordinance which was intended to
abolish it was put into operation sew
eral months ago.
Formerly the streets were mostly lit
tered with small handbills. Now they
are made unsightly by large sheets.
in order to evade the provisions of
the ordinance storekeepers and others
who used to distribute the smaller
dodgers have resorted to the plan of
either getting up advertising sheets to
simulate newspapers or to use one or
.wo periodicals which have the sem.
blance Of newspapers"

Are There Such Folkf

Running a newspaper is just like
running hotel. only different, thinks
the Falls City (Neb) Journal. When q
man goes into hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not get up and raise hades
with the landlord and tell him to stop
his darned old hotel. Well. hardly. He
sets that dish TO one side and wades
into some of the many dishes that do
suit him. 1t is different with some
newspaper readers. They find an ar
ticle occasionally that does not suit
them exactly, and, without stopping to
think it may please hundreds OF other
readers, make grand stand play OF
their supreme asininity and hasten
over to stop their paper"

PEACE EFFORTS FAIL
Amalgamated Committee Adj
journs Without Date.
STRIKE MUST co ON As BEFORE.


PlTTSBCRG, Sept. 1O.-The last eff
fort to settle the steel strike has failed.
The general executive board of the Anal
gamated association has adjourned with
out date and without either accepting any
OF the peace propositions which have
come indirectly from the United States
steel corporation or making any counter
propositions, according to the official
statement.
The semiofCial report is that the propo-
sitlon secured for the Amalgamated asso-
cation through the Intervention of the
representatives of the National Civic fed
GRAFTON was unsatisfactory and that the
entire matter of arranging for a settle
ment was left with President Theodore
j. Shaifer. The board in its session of
three days has been clamoring for a set
tlement, but satisfactory terms and means
were not at hand, and the sessions resolv-
ed themselves into an informal discussion
of the situation
At the close of the meeting of the ma
tional executive board last evening Pres
ident Shaffcr declared that he had no
statement to make. but subsequently said:
The board has adjourned, and the out
of town members will probably leave for
their homes. No pcTe proposition has
been received and none made
The meeting of the board did not ad-
journ in high good feeling, yet the mem
bers of the board were averse to making
statements supplemental to that of Presi-
dent Shaffer.
1t was stated by some of the members
of the board that the adjournment had
left matters practically as they were be-
fore the meeting had been called and that
the strike must 20 on as before, leaving
arrangements for a possible settlement
through coveted direct conference with
the representatives of the United States
Steel corporation with President Shaffer.
Yesterday completed the first thirty
days since the American Sheet Steel COM
pany, the American Tin Plate company
and the American Steel Hoop company
began their attempt to start the union
plants of the country in the face of the
Amalgamated association strike. Aside
from the Clark plant of the steel hoop
company and the Upper and Lower Union
mills of the Carnegie company, where the
attempt to render the strike effective was
never success, the three companies have
during the month succeeded in placing in
operation seventy-six mills in the union
plants. single turn. Indications are that
the number will be doubled within the
next ten days if the strike is not settled
| before that time

st. Peter sits at the heavenly gates,
his hands on the strings of the Tyre,

He hears in the distance a chorus Of

"There Is room in this region for
millions of souls who by sorrow and
woe were bereft; tits for those who
have suffered the melody rolls, but the
kickers must turn to the left.
There is room for the people who,
when they were young, persisted in
sowing wild oats, yet doomed up their
town with sinew and tongue, but the
kicker must 60 with the goats.
There's room for the people who
pointed with pride to the beauty and
growth of their town, who kept sing

but the kickers will please amble down,
They'd say that the music was all out
of time and the angelic gown hand me
down. and they'd send TO the moon for
a jeweler to sample the gold in their
crown. So, while there is room for a
million Of souls who by sorrow and woe
We're bereft, we want no complaint of
the music that rolls, so the kickers

One-third of the area of Canada is
practically unknown. There are more
than 100000 square miles of unex-
plored lands in Canada. The entire
area of the Dominion is computed at
3,450,257 square miles; consequently
one-third of this country has yet been
untraveled by the explorer. Exclusive
of the inhospitable detached arctic por
tons, $4,000 square miles are for all
practical purposes entirely unknown.
Most of this unknown area is dis
tributed in the western half of the Do

WIDTH OF STREETS.
Needless Expense Caused by Unnec.
essnri1y broad Rondwnys.

Wide streets are generally supposed
to be good things, whether in big towns
or little ones, but when it comes to lay.
ing pavements highways unnecessarily
broad require an expenditure that may
delay or entirely prevent the making
of the Improvement.
The president of the Michigan Engi.
neering society in his recent annual
address had lQuch to say on this sub
ject, and he Cautioned the officials of
small towns not to be too ambitious in
laying out their roads, since it was
better to have narrow ones well paveo
than wide ones not paved at all or al
an expense the community cannot af.
ford.
He instanced the case of Wauseon,
o., where the main street is ~ feet
between curbS and contains no cal
tracks. Il advocated 60 foot pave.
ment," said the speaker, that being
moro than ample for the needs Of a vii
lage of $500 or 5000 Inhabitants. The
~ foot pavement, however, was nut in.
a light fall of snow shortly after the
pavement was finished showed the
width of pavement they really reQuir.
ed. Three days after that snowfall |
took the council over that street. and
all of the traffic that had passed over
it could have been handled on a 30 foot
street AT the sides the snow was un-
broken excepting where pedestrian
or Il dog had walled across it.
"At Delta, a small village of perhaps
1000 Inhabitants, IS miles west Of To.
ledo, the main street is 80 feet wide
They have something like a mile of
street paving under contract, and the
width settled upon is IS feet for streets
which have little travel and no teams
hitched on them and "a feet and 80 feet
on the business street. Thus far it has
been found that these widths are am.
pie, and the paving has been put in at
very low cost to the property owners.
"The mistake is very often made by
property owners of paving n street for
80, 40 or so feet width where a "a foot
or 80 foot street would do just as WELL"
All this, however, is rather an argu-
ment against unduly wide roadways
than against the wide streets, the latter
term meaning the space between the
private land on each side. Every vii
lage should prepare for future growth
and avoid the troubles imposed upon
New York by the narrowness of many
of its down town canyons.
