Works Like Spring Curtain Roller.
with the connection to the main cir
cult through wires leading to posts on
the side Of the bracket. These posts
are in direct contact with the plates
on the end Of the roller by means Of
the two spring tongues secured to the
end Of the bracket. The winding de-
vice consists of e coiled spring wound
at the end of the upper shaft, which is
geared to the under roller by the
toothed wheel at the right end Of the
upper shaft. The winding drum has
the usual dogs and notched collar to
maintain the lamp in any position. and
by throwing the dogs out Of action by
centrifugal force the springs will re-
volve the drum and wind up the cord
The device is preferably inclosed in
a protecting cover, with an opening in
the bottom for the passage of the
cord. thus making a neat hanger and
allowing the lamp to be adjusted at
any desired height as easily as a win
dow shade may be raised and lowered.

The Ice supply and the Public Health.

The Ice Supply and the Public Health.
In Prof. Sedgwick's recently pub
lished book on sanitary science. he
summarizes the relations Of the ice
supply to the public health somewhat
as follows: While 1t is true that some
bacteria survive exposure to freezing
temperatures, such conditions. espe-
cially II prolonged, are highly unfav-
orable to bacterial life. Water tends
to purify itself by freezing. but the
publication is usually incomplete. A
few bacteria may survive even after
long exposure to low temperature.
Hence too much reliance must not be
placed on the publication of water by
freezing, especially II the Ice is arti-
ficially made. The practical lesson is
not to mix ice with food or to put 1t In
drinks. A temperature of between so
degrees and 60 degrees Fahrenheit is
suficiently low to be refreshing. and
to obtain this degree OF cooling 1t is
SUFFICIENT to place vessels containing
the food. etc. in ordinary cold stor-
axe.

be termed census of those having min

reserves. All settlers on the reserves
will be visited and report made OF the
liye stock possessed by each, the improve
ments made, character OF Louise, when
settled and the validity of the claims OF
each. All persons holding mining claims
on the reserves will have to tell the char
acter OF the ore on their property, the
time the claim was taken up and show
the ranger the amount of improvement
work done. MIR. Shelter is doing this to
ascertain just who have rights on the re-
serves. All bogus claimants will have

A Riddle MAKING EnOCh.

There have been epOchs at which rid
die making has been more especially in
vogue. and such epOchs would appear
to occur ut seasons of fresh intellectual
awakening. Such an epoch there was
1t the first slimmering of new intel
iectual light in the second half of the
seventh century. This was the age of
Adhelm, bishop of Sherborne, the first
in the roll of Anglo-Latin poets. He
left Il considerable number of enigmas
in Latin heXameters, and they have
been repeatedly printed.
Aldhelm died in 1909. Before his
time there was a collection of Latin
riddles that bore the name of Synpho-
sius. or this work the date is un-
known. We only know that Aldhelm
used it, and we may infer that it was
then Il recent product. The riddles Of
Symphosius were uniform in shape,
consisting each Of three heXameter
lines.-Cornhill Magazine.
