NO CHANCE FOR MISTAKE
Slot Machines Viii SellWOrld's
Fair Tickets

Slot machines to sell admission
tickets to the worlds fair are under
going a test al the administration
building. Mistakes cannot be made.
and the charge that a worlds fair
ticket seller short changes" a visi-
tor cannot be consistently made, with
this machine in use.
Sample machines are on exhibition
in the Office of the admissions depart
ment at the administration building.
The simple manner in which they OPP
crate commends them and when the
exposition opens a battery of these
machines may be installed at each
gate. The first requisite will be a
silver half dollar, for no other coin
or substance will cause the machine
to disgorge the coveted bit of paste
board that will give entry to the
grounds. Money changers booths viii
be provided and as many half dol
lars as are wanted may be obtained
With his half dollar betwixt his
fingers, the visitor may approach the
machine that stands about five feet
tall. About four feet from the ground
is a slot and a legend calling atten-
tion tt it. The buyer drops in his
coin, gives a crank a turn and out
comes a properly stamped and num-
bered ticket.
Should the mechanism of the slot
machine fail, or should the supply
of tickets give out, the slot is auto
matically closed, and it will be impos-
sible to drop in a coin.
The visitor then enters the gate,
passing a turnstile, which registers
his entrance. Electric wires are at
tached to the turnstile and terminate
in the office of the director of admis-
sion. A separate wire runs from each
turnstile and connects with a series of
dials in the admission headquarters,
and it is possible for the exposition
management to know at any moment
the exact number of admissions to
the exposition.
All holders of passes will need TO
be identified. This will be done BY
means of photographs. Plans are
now under way to provide each person
entitled to a season pass with a cou-
pom book good for each day of the
fair. his photograph appearing on each
coupon.

The first record concerning mirrors
dates back to the days of the venerable
Moses, and they were made of brass.
When the Spaniards landed in South
America they found mirrors of polished
black stone in use among the natives.
In the fifteenth century the first glass
mirrors were made in Germany by a
blowpipe, and were convex. The first
mandatory of glass mirrors for sale
was established in Venice early in the
sixteenth century. In the reign of
James /. men, women and children
wore looking glasses publicly, the men
as brooches or ornaments in their hats
and the women at their girdles or on
their bosoms.

Thirsty Plants.

Plants have thirst. like men. some
more than others. and they drink in wa

eminence OF authority, says that rye dur
ing its growth and development absorbs
334 tons OF water per acre. oats require
$40 tons and wheat 489 The water.
sucked or pumped up by the roots from
the soil traverses the tissues OF the
plant, depositing nutriment therein. and
finally is evaporsted by the leaves This
process IS called Transportation As the
soil furnishes the supply OF water that
supply, IN order that the plant can de-
velop itself normally, ought TO equal az
least the volume OF water given of bv
the leaves. Should this equilibrium -
broken the leaves drOop. become dried
and fall Not only does the plant Ian
guish during an insufficient supply OF
water, but the energy Of its green matter
cells decreases. The assimilation Of
carbon ceases. and the growth OF the
plant Is stopped. II is the same in rear
ing stock
n badly fed, the animal will be stunt
ed. The Transportation OF the plant IS ten
times greater in presence OF full light
than in obscurity. and during dull
cloudy weather the transportation is one
half less than under the direct action
OF the solar, rays. Judge then Of the
sent and the sky clear and the sunlight
continuous. The only resource the plan;
has. IN the absence OF an artificial sup
ply OF water by irrigation. is TO send its
roots tapering deep into the soil.
Deherain has traced the rOOtlets of
wheat 90 a depth OF eighty inches in the
soil
Plants whose height above the surface
OF the soil never exceeds the length OF a
hand have the root at the neck as thick
al the thumb tapering TO the volume OF

A 2OO-FOot Pudding

Think OF a pudding 200 feet long aud
so heavy that 100 sturdy men and boys
may just carry it. This is quite stupen-
dous even in this day OF gigantic things.
bat the fact that the making did not
take place in New York or Chicago may
be bit disappointing at first fash It
was on a Pacific island, however, and
the man who stands for the story tells
! IL in this fashion:
Il had been ten years on Savage ISL
and and meant 10 come 10 England on
visit but before leaving went to each
village TO say 'good-by' 10 the people
We had heen three weeks from home
when we got 10 a little village called

there was a terrible commotiOa-meu

began digging 4 long. shallow trench
with their sharp pointed sticks
The boys brought big stones and fire

one side OF the trench The wood was
then set fire TO, and was soon blazing
while the stones on the top were get

pudding was TO be made
There were no -four. suet. eggs. milk
plums or Currants in it. IT was the
paste OF native vegetable called taro
and old cOcoanut. both grated very
fine and mixed together. A long pud-
ding cloth Was laid along the side Of
I the trench. and in II the pudding was
carefully wrapped. II was not calico
or linen. but nice clean banana leaves
over this long cocOanut leaves were
plated. When the stones were hot
enough some were quickly laid along the
bottom OF the trench. then the long pud-
ding LAID on top OF them, and theu
some more stones at tbs sides and on
the top.
Some girls had brought heaps Of
leaves to lay over the top TO keep the
heat and steam in. and the earth whicn
had been dug out of the trench was
thrown over the top The cooks and
pudding makers all went 10 sleep and
left the stars 20 watch their cookery.
Next morning at eight the whole WI

Needs No Winding.

alleges. as il has no handspring and its
works consist OF only three wheels. The
clock. which is in the form OF a pendu-

from the top by thiIs piece OF steel two
inches long and half an inch wide. The
pendulum rods are made from different
metals. 70 compensate for contraction
and expansion. The whole affair is ad-
justed TO beat actual seconds.
All that was necessary 10 set the clock
going was TO start it swinging. when, :"

Crabs Earthquakes

For some time previous to the day upon
which the great Chilean earthquake Of
August. 1851, occurred great swarms OF
crabs Of an unknown variety were seen
in the Bay OF Payta. They ali appeared
20 be greatly excited. and were literally
climbing over each other in their efforts
TO escape the impending calamity.
How they knew that the earthquake
was collecting its strength to desolate
the coast Is more than man can say. but
that they knew something unusual was
about 10 happen there is no doubt what
ever.
