POINTERS FOR THE PEOPLE
WHO ANSWER ARGUS ADS

Here's pointer to people who an

pointer that seems to be badly need
ed in Rock Island.
When an advertisement reads Gin
quire at Argus ONCE" for instance,
then the office has IA memorandum
telling who the advertiser is and where
he can be found, or how reached.
When the advertisement reads. ZAP
ply at 472 Sixth avenue" it means
that. and the newspaper probably
knows no more about it.
And when the advertisement reads
Address ", Argus Office" it also
means just that, and the newspaper
has no particulars. Your only way to
do is to write letter or postal card.
address il as directed i'm the adver-
tisement and send or bring it to The
Argus office. Then the advertiser
when he calls for replies will GET
yours and any others that there are.
If you write early yours will proba bly,
get his attention first.
There is not a day passing that
The Argus hasen't inquiries by tele-
phone, like this:
who has those furnished rooms
for rent?''
What does the advertisement say?"
the clerk will ask in return.
1.-TWO furnished rooms, modern con
veniences,'
Then in The Argus Office will begin
a fruitless search over the memoran-
da covering short advertisements.
Next will come an examination of the
files, and when the inquirer at the
other end of the telephone wire is
about tired waiting, he will be asked
if the advertisement did not read
Address Argus office?' well, maybe
it did" he'll say, and in return he is
is told, We'll. that's the thing to do;
we do not know any more about it."

Kant's ~RelaxatiOns.

The only relaxation Kant, the cele
brated German philosopher. allowed
himself was a walk. which he invaria-
bly, took during his life at Konigsberg
at about the same hour every afternoon.
His usual stroll was along the banks of
the Pregel toward the Friedrich's fort,
and in these walks he was always a
careful observer of the phenomena of
nature. He told his friends one day
how, as he passed a certain building in
his daily walk. he had noticed several
young swallows lying dead upon the
ground.
On looking up he discovered, as be
fancied. that the old birds were actual.
ly throwing their young ones out OF the
nests. 1t was Il season remarkable fol
the scarcity of insects, and the birds
were apparently sacrificing some OF
their progeny 10 save the rest. All
this" added Kant, "my intellect was
hushed. The only thing TO do here was
to fall down and worship."-Chambers

How LightnIng Kills.

The cause of death by lightning Is
the sudden absorption Of the electric
current. When n thundercloud which
is highly charged with positive cleo
tricity hangs over any certain place,
the earth beneath it becomes abnor-
mally charged with the negative cleo
trio current. and a man, animal or 9TH
er object standing or lying directly be-
meath also partakes Of the last men,
toned influence. If, while the man,
animal or other object is in this condi-
ton, n discharge takes place from the
cloud above. the restoration Of the
equilibrium will be sudden 70 violent,
or, in language that we can all under
stand, the negative current from the
earth will rush up to join the positive
cloud current. and in passing through
the object which separates the two
currents. If ii be an animate thing,
will do SO with such force as to almost
invariably produce instant death.
According TO the above, which seems
a tenable hypothesis, TO say the least,
q person Is really struck" by the
ground current and not by the forked
fury from above at all.
