To treat shines. and also to hasten

employed was the vacuum filter.
This was arranged by building false

resulted in successful treatment Of
some kinds of material. but with
shines the layer on the filter gene
rally became too thick and dense to
permit long continued passage Of

reduced to thin sheets to hasten the

greatly reduce capacity.

offended at something the preacher
said, gravely rose and stalked toward
the door, with their heads held high in
assertive disdain. The wife followed
the husband ak.
Unfortunately when they were half
way down the aisle the husband drop
ped his glove and stopped to pick 1t up.
Fate, the humorist, determined that
the wife should keep her head so high
that she did not see her husband stoop.
She went sailing ON and doubled over
him in riotous confusion.
The congregation held its breath and
kept it's composure. The two recovered
themselves and went on. Hoping to
escape quickly, they turned to what
looked like a side door. The husband
pulled 1t open with an impressive
swing. Before he could close it out
tumbled the window pole, long buster
and a stepladder. The congregation
could hold its mirth no longer, and
man and wife fed to the real exit in
undignifed haste amid a general and
