 A BABY'S DIET-Outside of os- triches and alligators. there is no ani- ma! so careless about what it eats as baby. A Phoenix physician reports an incident that occurred day or two ago which is little unusual even with babies. The oneyear-old child of family living about three miles west of town swallowed a safety pin about an inch long. the pin at the time being unclasped but fortunately starting on it's journey with the closed end down. The parents sent for the doctor at once, and of course expected the little ones stomach would have to be opened and the pin removed. The baby was the only one in connection with the incl dent that did not worry The doctor thought4t better to let nature take care of the pin in view of the fact that na- ture prompted the baby to eat it. so he refused to operate till there was some evidence of internal disturbance. The chold's mother now has the pin as an interesting souvenir and will keep it out of the little ones reach.

A PERPETUAL ELECTRIC LIGHT

A Chicago inventor. George Magrady, has discovered q process of manufac- turing a 3G-candle power light that will never go out. While experimenting with photographic chemicals four years ago. Magrady's attention was attracted by glow in a small globe The glow was caused by a chemical which the inventor keeps secret. Magrady en- larged the glow and perfected the light by placing it in an air-tight glass. He says there is no reason why the light will not remain brilliant forever if it is not broken. A company has been formed to manufacture the lights in numerous sizes. A patent hood its over the globe and covers it completely when the light is not needed.
