the picture have been designed for use
where the light can not be placed
within easy reach of the hand to oper-
ate the sparkling wires which light the
gas. With this apparatus it is only
necessary to open the valve in the
pipe, permitting the gas to flow into
the burner. The latter comprises a
seal chamber and a diaphragm, togeth-
er with an electric igniter of the ordi-
nary pattern. A little study Of the
drawing will show that when the gas
pressure is turned on the diaphragm
must expand in the seal chamber, and
this expansion is utilized to manipu-
late the igniter, by connecting the dia.
phragm to the pivoted arm which car
ries the sparkling wire. Upon closing
the valve the diaphragm falls of it's
own weight and the igniter once more
adjusts itself ready to produce the
spark when the pressure is applied
again. The inventor is Charles T..
Wilson of Armenia, N. Y.

Marvellous LIQUID.

An engineer of Munich, Max Eber|
hardt, gave recently demonstration
of the effectiveness of new prepare
ton for extinguishing fires. The trials,
it is reported, were successful. The
preparation is liquid of milky color
The first experiment showed that the
skin, when painted with the liquid.
becomes insensible to heat.
Rags saturated with petroleum can
be burned upon the hand after it has
been immersed in the liquid. Small
fires can be extinguished with the
hands, and with one pailful of the
liquid a fire in a pit Of tar was put
out in one second. The tar, even after
petroleum had been poured over it,
could not again be ignited, as the
liquid formed a thin, unreliable crust
which completely extinguished in
twelve seconds with little more than
twelve gallons of the liquid. Small
quantities of the preparation are suf1i.
cient for extinguishing purposes, so
that the damages produced by water
are avoided. The price of the liquid
is about Is cents per quart.

PRODUCING Arsenic by the Ton,

When the statement is made that
during last year Canada produced 725
tons of arsenic one is apt to wonder
where it all comes from. A mining
journal is authority for the statement
that it was all extracted from gold
ores with the bromocyanogen process.
After the concentrates have been freed
of their gold contents, the remaining
matter is passed through cylindrical
washer, and the arsenical fumes are
condensed in suitable chambers. A.
ter passing through a refining process
and being again condensed and COL
lected in second set of chambers, the
resulting product is stated to be over
SO per cent Of arsenic of pure white
color.

Abundant Underground Waters.


The earth contains an abundance Of
water, even in places like some of our
great western plateaus, where the sur
face is comparatively arid, says the
Mining World. The greatest depth
at which underground water can exist
il; estimated to be about six miles. Be-
low that, it is believed, the cavities
and pores Of the rock are completely
closed. The amount Of water in the
earth's crust is reckoned at nearly one
third Of that contained In the oceans
so that it would cover the whole sur
face Of the globe to a depth of from
5000 to $500 feet. The waters I'M
foreground flow horizontally after sink
ing below the unsaturated zone of the
rocks, but in the sands Of the Dakota
formation, which supply remarkable
artesian wells, the motion. does not ex-
coed one or two miles a year. The

MilIiner's Hat Holder.

Men have for some years past had
the temerity to hang out their signs as
makers OF ladies' suits and costumes,
but the man mllliner is as yet scarce
article, and liable to be so for some
time to come. Possibly the invention
we show here might have been de-
signed by man milliner, if theirs had
been more of them in the business, but
as it is, the idea originated with a
woman, and is likely to be used almost
exclusively by women. The invention
comprises number of clamps and a
pair of telescoping rods, with TRAN
gular support for the hat at one end
and screw clamp at the opposite end,
which can be attached to a table, shelf
Or chair. The hat support consists of
three projecting wires, and by sliding

A New Method Of Making Casts OF
Fish.

One of tho latest outgrowths of the
wonderful art Of electroplating is the
use Of the ''galvano-electrical method"

Smithsonian taxidermists were among
the first to adopt this new method.
It has been; the experience in send

WILD CATS MUST GO
Insurance Commissioner Host Starts a
Crusade to Rid State of Wild Cat
Insurance Companies.
KENOSHA COMPANIES ON THE LIST

Insurance Commissioner Host has
the unauthorized (wi1dcat) FIRE insur.
ance companies that are said to in
tentionally refuse to comply with the
laws of Wisconsin and thereby en-
croach upon the rights of other COM
panies. To recover claim against
one Of these unauthorized companies
the assured, 1t is claimed, would have
to bring suit in the state in which the
company IS organized.
The Campaign is now assuming a
federal significance. Mr.. Host pro-
poses to have bill introduced during
the present session of congress to

sion of lottery traffic through national

service, subject to the laws of jurisdic-
ton of the United Estates.
These amendments are so framed as
to apply the provisions of existing
laws to letters, postal cards, circulars,
pamphlets and publications concerning
any business of, and contracts and
policies of life, FIRE or other insurance
transmitted into any state, district or
territory by concerns or spersons not
authorized to transact such Sbusiness
in the state from which the same are
transmitted. The amendment pro-
vides that the penalty for,.the first
violation shall be imprisonment for
not more than two years, or fine not
more than 1000, or both, and for the
second and after offenses by such i'm
prisonment only.
Commissioner Host has also an ad-
dress that will be presented to con-
gress, on behalf of the people of the

ulent insurance companies. This ad.
dress is submitted by la committee ap-

WITH VOWS OF BABI.
Dell OIds and Miss Eta Frances Hay
wood MarriedlWith Unique Cere-
mony Sunday Afternoon.
WEDDING WITHOUT A PRAYER.

With the ceremony ordained by Beha
Ul1ah, the famous leader of the Bella
lists, Miss Eta Frances Haywood, of
Porter, Mich, and Dell Olds, of Kala-
mazoo, Mich, were united in marriage
athigh noon Sunday at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Kidney on Gar
den street. The marriage was prob
ably the most unique ever celebrated
in the city. The ceremony was per-
formed by Frederick A. Slack, the
spiritual guide of the local Assembly
of Behaists and it followed the ideas of
the Eastern religion in every point.
Neither the bride nor the groom were
believers in the Eastern religion but
both of them had been, studying the
lessons and had decided to be married
in the faith.
The Behaist assembly in this city
was one of the first founded in this
country and it is said that this is the
second wedding to take place in which
the ceremony of the faith was used.
AS yet the ceremonials of the church
have not been translated into English
and for this reason Spiritual Guide
Slack was forced to form up cere.
mony for the wedding from those used
in other churches. The ceremony was
a strange interming1ing of the Metho
dist ceremony and the teachings OF
Beha Ullah. AS the Behaists do not
believe in public PRAYER there was nc
prayer during the ceremony, even the
benediction being omitted. Again the
Behaists do not believe in the Trinity
and all portions of the wedding cere.
mony in which Christ was mentioned
were carefully eliminated by the min.
lister and in their place some of the
teachings Of the Manifestation were
supplied. The ceremony was filled
with dialogue for the bride and groom
but the final wedding contract was
made with ring similar to the cere.
mony used in the authorized churches
ct the country.
The y7sdding was quite social event
and fully twenty-five of the Behaists
of The city were in attendance. After
the wedding ceremony the bride and
groom entertained at an informal re.
ception and wedding dinner was
served. Late last night Mr.. and Mrs.
Olds left for Chicago to spend short
honeymoon after which they will go tc
Kalamazoo to make their home. The
groom is we'll known liveryman al

County and City Members Of the
Board OF Supervisors in Fierce
Battle Over AppOrtionment
CITY REFUSES TO PAY BIG TAX.
County Members Attempt to Saddle the
Burden of Taxation Onto the City
Long Fight is On.

The big fight between the represen-
tatives of the city and county is on at
the Court House, and the two factions
of the County Board are in seemingly
endless wrangle over the annual APP
portionment of the taxes. The county
has placed its ultimatum before the
city, and the city has just as firmly in
formed the members from the towns
that the proposition will not be accept
ed, and it is possible that the Board
will be kept in session for the remain
der of the week.
It is the same old story. The county
members are insisting that the burden
of taxation be shifted to the people of
the city. The city members of the
Board declare that the cry of "equa1i-
zation'' is farce, and that the report
which the county members are attempt
ing to foist down upon the city is one
of the most unequal reports ever pre-
scented to the city.
The original slogan for equalization
included the taking of the figures of
the Assessors and knocking off twenty
FIVE per cent, but this is not satisfac
tory to either the county or the city
members. The county members are
dema nding that the county towns be
cut twenty-five per cent and the city
fifteen per cent, while the city mem
bers are just as loyal to their constit-
uents and declare that the only fair
assessment would be by reducing the
county twenty-five per cent and the
city forty per cent. The increase as
planned for the city is $444 ,618, and the
increase for all the other towns in the
county is only 1928, 500.
Chairman McKesson of the Assess
ment committee is at home today
husking corn, and for this reason there
is little chance for any agreement
to be made. The Randall man has
signed the report and his colleagues
from the county have declared that
they will hang out for his figures.
To show the unfairness of the COM
mittee in making the apportionment
the following figures which are the re-
port of the committee and which have
been declared fair by the county mem
berS are submitted:

Character in walking.

Steps that are quick are indicative
Of energy and agitation.
Turned in toes are often found with
preoccupied, absent MINDED persons.
Slow steps, whether long or short,
suggest a gentle or reflective state of
mind, as the case may be.
The proud step is slow and measured.
The toes are conspicuously turned out,
the legs Strengthened.
Where a revengeful purpose is hid
den under feigned smile the step
will be Sinking and noiseless.
Obstinate people who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on in
tellectual power rest the feet fatty and
firmly on the ground, walk heavily and
slowly and stand with the legs firmly
planted and far apart.
