Senator J. Ralph Burton of Kansas.

replied: mo. 1 shall ignore it. But then
do not care to talk on that subject"
win you ignore the top story?" was
asked.

BUSY PHONE CENTRALS.
Topeka Subscribers Keep SO "Hello
Girls" Answering Calls.

Sixty-three hello girls" are kept
busy throughout the day by the two
peka for the accommodation of local
subscribers. Nine do the work at night.
The busiest days in the week are
Monday and Saturday at the Independ-
ent exchange, and Monday, Tuesday
and Friday at the Bell office.
The extra business on Mondays, Fri
days and Saturdays may be accounted
for by the calls of the commission men.
who use the telephones a great deal on
these days. Then there is a good dean
of business on Saturdays and Mondays
because they Immediately precede and
follow day when almost all business
is suspended The closing of the banks
and offices on Saturday afternoon
makes the business at that time some
what lighter than the rest of the day.
The operators begin to get very busy
at the central offices as early as
o'clock in the morning as then is
when the commission men commence
to use the phones. Extra help has to
go on at this time to relieve the night
operators, and by o'clock the full day
force is in service. AS many as twenty
or thirty calls from one commission
house are given in from twenty minutes
to half an hour The commission men
who have a number of calls to make
give their operator their first number
and add, More to follow" so that as
soon as they have rung off on the first
call central will be ready to give them
connection with their next customer.
From 8 to 10 o'clock all the other
early morning business is added to
that of the commission men and at this
period the central offices are as busy as
gas meters. After 10 o'clock there is
lull until about 80, when the calls be-
gin to come rapidly for two hours or
such a matter, and from to o'clock
in the afternoon there is another
strenuous hour.
The full force is retained until half
past 10 o'clock at night, when thu
smaller night force goes on. Business
from 1890 at night to 6 o'clock in the
morning is light, except from about 2
o'clock until 4, when it picks up again
, ard sometimes keeps the operators
jumping to answer the calls. This in
crease in business is caused by police
and hackmen's calls and the arrival of
the morning trains.
Monday is the busiest day in the
week for the toll line, and this is caused
by the business of the commission
houses.
Both the telephone companies worked
overtime during the flood and were
obliged to put on extra help to accom-
modate their subscribers. The COM
panies have a list of substitutes besides
their regular operators, and this re-
serve force was exhausted for the first
week or two after the flood.

FOUND IN THE WATER.
Results of Investigation in Bay of
San Diego.

San Diego. Gala, July 23.-The inves-
dgation of marine life of the waters of
San Diego bay by Professor Ritter and
his assistants of the University of Cali
fornia have resulted in valuable addi-
tons to the knowledge of marine BIZ
ology of the Pacific. Among the protocol
and cOelenterata, a number of new
forms have been discovered within the
last few days. One of these is the peri
dinium' the animalculae that cause
the water to assume the reddish hue
that at times has been noted in the wa
ter and that is said to give the charac
teriStic hue to the Red sea. Other rare
specimens discovered are the radiolaria,
with skeletons of silica and of marvel
Ously elaborate patterns, which hither-
to have been reported only by the fam
Gus Challenger expedition to the tropical
Atlantic in 1872. The most remarkable
discovery perhaps, is that of the sap
phirina" whose irridescence vies with
the plumage of the peacock. showing IN
turn violet, purple. green, copper and
bronze and at night becoming phos-
phorescent. Numbers of new specimens
of jellyfish have been found and new
ones of the order of cruStaceauS.

THURSTON FELL IN.
Tried to Walk a Dam Only a Foot
Wide.

New York July 23-Ex- Senator John
M. Thurston of Nebraska, has taken the
temperature of sea water at Coney Is
land, but his enjoyment of the expert
ence was curtailed by the fact that he
had his clothes on. The Nebraskan ana
his wife visited the island as the guests
of an old acquaintance who is now pro-
prietOr of an amusement resort there.
They were taken on board an electric
launch for a trip down the lagoon. They
made a circuit of the grounds, and then
passed out through a small lock into
Gravesend bay. After a pleasant trip
the launch was headed back to the park.
Owing to a change in the tide the lock
had been closed. The visitors were con-
fronted with a walk over the dam, a
foot wide, or climbing the fence They
chose the former and Mrs. Thurstou
negotiated the distance without diff
Guilty. Her husband ventured across
next and when half way over he lost
his balance. The creek is only four feet
deep but there was plenty of mud and
the former senator was not presenta BILE
when he finally reached shore A change
of clothing was found for him and the
party came back to town declaring they
had a good time despite the accident.

SUMMER FOOD"

Many people have tried the food
Grape-Nuts simply with the idea of
avoiding the trouble of cooking food in

All of these have found something be-

Grape-Nuts is scientific food that
tones up and restores a sick stomach
as well as repairs the waste tissue in
brain and nerve centers.
For two years 1 had been a sufferer
from catarrh of the stomach due to i'm
proper food and to relieve this condi-
ton l had tried nearly every prepared
food on the market without any success
until six months ago my wife purchased
