Joining building Her friends rushed to
the window. A group of skeletons was

upon the roof to bleach out in the sun.
The authorities, however, can find no law
to interfere with the enterprise; it being
on a scientific basis. This firm buys
bodies from medical colleges and other
sources and after cleaning the bones puts
them upon the roof to bleach in the sun.

of great consolidation Of the Gould
roads into one big system has been gal
vanized into activity and it is again doing
active duty. The street" knows that at
some time In the future the Gould prop

two big systems But the time scarcely
seems ripe yet, and a score of items must
