Veteran Fireman Gives Good Advice
Chief SwneIey of St Louis Points out How Many Lives
Might Be Saved People Would Keep Their Presence

Were you ever caught in fire?
Pray that you never may be, but if
you ever are one of the unfortunates,

Chief Swingley of the st. Louis fire
department, who says that in forty

persons jump from burning buildings
and are killed or injured they would
be rescued if they waited until the ar

What persons should do if cut off
from escape is to shut the door of the
room in which they are and make for
the nearest window. The best way is
to crawl There is always a space
next the floor where the air is good.
Smoke always rises. don't care If
a building is filled with dense smoke.

and keeping the head close to the

Wrapplna Paper Mannet.

Here is an experiment which can
be done quickly and without pro
viding yourself with lot of chemi-
Gals that you will never want again.
Take q piece of ordinary wrapping
paper and wet 1t all over Then put
1t near the stove and let it dry. When
1t is dry put 1t on wooden cloth or
a vanished table and rub it briskly
with a piece of India rubber. In a
few moments 1t will become charged
with electricity, and If thrown against
the wall or any smooth surface it will
stick to 1t for some time.

not bigger than an eighth of an inch
square, and toss them in the air near
the sheet. The wrapping paper will
draw them to it just as a magnet will
attract needle.
Take a tea tray and place on it
two or three glasses Put the electri-
ned paper on the tops of the glasses
and then touch the tray with your
ringer. You will be surprised to find
that you receive a slight electric
shock by so doing. Now put the
wrapping paper on the tray itself and
on touching the tray you will get an
other shock of electricity, but this
time of different kind Replace the
paper on the glasses and you will get
the trst little ingling again.

His Friends Ate the Ducks
While the Doctor and His Invited Guests Had to Eat Came
Goods-But the Physician Had Not Altogether the
Worst of the Joke.

A doctor who lives in Highland
Park has his Office in the Venetian
building, says the Chicago Record
Herald. One day last fall he informed
the other occupants of the suite that
one of his patients had just presented
him with half a dozen mallard ducks,
and he was going to telephone to his
wife to invite couple of his friends
and their wives to come down and
spend the evening and help to eat
them.
When he went out to luncheon the
other doctors determined to play a
joke on him. They undid the package,
took out the ducks, and in place put
some medicine bottles filled with
water to make up weight, and then
stuffed crumpled paper and cloths
round them SO as to get the proper
soft feeling to the package, and then
restored the original wrapper. The
ducks were taken to a restaurant and
ordered to be ready at o'clock.
The doctor started for home on the
$40 train and at his medical friends
in the city started in on the feast.
Next morning to their surprise he
never said one word, but went about
his business in the ordinary way. BY
3 o'clock the silence became intoler-
able to the jokers, and at last one of
them said; by the way, doctor, how
