PUBLIC BATHHOUsE IS PLANNED.
Mayor Kern Instructs City Engineer
to Prepare Specifications.

mayor hcfn 1uBIruCtD lily GhBlAcCH
to Prepare Specifications.
Belleville in all probability will have q
public bathhouse and natatorium.
Mayor Fred ]. Kern yesterday gave Or
ders to City Engineer Graner to draw plans
and make an estimate for the conversion Of
the old Market House. which Is in the rear
of the police station. into a public bath
house, where the people of the city can en-
Joy bath and a swim without expense to
themselves, other than the towels and soap
which they are supposed to bring with
them.
Mayor Kern believes that the public bath
house Is badly needed in Belleville, and
will be q great success when 1t Is built.
He believes that one man can run it, and 1t
is his idea to 50 arrange 1t that there will
be tub baths for those who desire to wash
and battle, and also a big tank for SWIM
ming.
Every summer several boys and men lose
their lives in ponds In and near Belleville,
and Mayor Kern believes that with q pool
OF nice fresh pure water in the center of the
town the boys will have no desire to go to
the ponds to swim.
AS soon as City Engineer Graner COM
pletes the plans they will be presented to
the City Council. with the Mayors recon-
mendatlon that they be adopted.

Some odd Resemblance.

Odd resemblances to various OBJ.
jects, which can only be regarded as
accidental condolences, are presented
by number of fungi, says the Rev.
A. S. Wilson in Knowledge. There Is
the Jew's-ear fungus, which grows on
stumps Of the elder, and is so named
from its unmistakable likeness to a
human ear. The coasters are curious
ly like star-fish; aserbe has an ex.
traordinary resemblance both In form
and color to sea anemone; equally
remarkable is the likeness to a birds
nest seen in species of crucibulum,
cyathus and nidularia. The most of
these are too small to impose on one;
the resemblance is singularly exact,
and a large specimen might almost
pass for the nest Of some small bird,
the eggs being admirably represented
by the little oval fruits Of the fungus.

And frosty winter never smltes
The smiling earth with gloom,
In all their gay and glowing pride
The languid peoples bloom.
The hills are rich with yellow ore,
And in the wales below
The luscious fruits and fragrant flowers
OF every climate grow;
And by the ruined missions walls
And from the wayside sod
And all along the garden walks
The drowsy peoples nod.
Bright crumpled blossoms, silken pink,
Pure white and crimson deep
And vivid scarlet, everywhere
They tell a tale of sleep,
When purple shadows long and cool
Among the vineyards lie,
And apples rippen into gold
Beneath a turquoise sky.
While Louisiana on her shield
The sweet magnolia shows
And Maine displays the brown pine cone,
New York the queenly rose,
And Delaware prefers the peach
To garland her renown,
The golden state elects to wear
A regal poppy crown.
