Travelled Under Ground,

A driving horse belonging TO Louis
Hewlett, of East Oakland, took an
underground tri? at East Fourteenth
street and Broadway this afternoon
which few horses would have sur
vived, and which furnished lot of ex'
element for himself and crowd OF
onlookers. While fastened to q post
in front OF the store the horse freed
himself and started TO investigate the
hatchway. Slipping on the cement he
plunged half into the opening, and
when discovered was hanging over the
edge, held back by the harness and
buggy. The sidewalk elevator was
hoistcd ulCer the animal, when he
kicked Himself free and fell onto the
platform, smashing the mechanism.
There he lay without stirring until men
freed him from the ropes and machin-
cry and dragged him out upon the base
mcnt floor. Then lie was taken to the
freight elevator in the rear and holsted
into the store, whence he was led back
T. the street, trembling, but unlnjured.
His owner did rot appear until after
the arimal had been led away to
nearby livery stable.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Making Postnce Stnmrs.

Postage stamps were introduced int
the United States in 1917. The print
ing OF postage stamps is done from
steel plates, on which certain number
of stamps are engraved. and the paper
used is Of peculiar texture, somewhat
resembling that employed in bank
notes. Two persons cover the plates
with the Colorcd inks and pass them
to two others, who print them with
large rolling hand presses. The colors
used in the inks are ultro-marlne blue.
Persian blue, chrome yellow, green,
vermilion and carmlne. After the
sheets of paper on which the stamps

sent into another room and gummed
separately. They are placed back up
ward on a fat wooden support, the
cCgcs being protected by metallic
frame, aad the gum is applied with a
wide brush. The sheets are subse.

Homemade Garden Tools.

Here are some ingenious little home
made contrivances for the garden sent
In by readers who devised them and
used them In their own gardening.
A Simple Lawn Sprinkler-A spadinG
fork stuck securely into the ground and
the nozzle OF the hose put through the
handle of the fork makes good stub
stitute for lawn sprinkler.
An Easy Wedding Device-1f seed
beds are too wide TO be easily weeded
from the sides get an inch board, eight
Inches wide, and long enough TO reach
across the bed from path to path. This
should be set up on end cleats made
high enough to raise 1t above the young
plants. Then saw small box FROM
corner to corner, dlagonally, putting a
three-inch cleat under the bottom front
end. This, placed upon the board
makes a comfortable high-backed chair
from which one can weed on either
side without inJurlng the plants with
ones clothes.
An Oyster Can For Weads-To re
move tiny weeds and loosen the sol
about rose bushes without injury tc
the rootlets, use an oyster can, resting
the bottom against the palm of one
hand and working with the sharp, cir
cular. open mouth OF the can.
A Handy Little Sieve-This Is made
from an ordinary cigar box. The bot
tom is taken out and in its place wire
window screening stretched, the edges
OF which are doubled over and tackled
on to the sides OF the frame close tC
the bottom. For sitting the top soil foI
a small seed bed or box, rs we'll as GOV
ering the seed, It Is Invaluable.
A Pancake Turner For Weeds-Ont
OF the best wedding tools Is a small
stiff pancake turner. 1t slips easily un
der plants and cuts the roots of thu
small. fine weeds.
A Use For Old Bottles-For covering
rose or other cuttings take large bot
ties. Saturate wooden string will
kerosene and tie 1t where you wish thu
small neck of the bottle broken off; ap
ply match and 1t will break OF
smoothly. These are also excellent 70

planted. Hellotropes have been save,
In this way when they were alnos

Automobile whistles,

A European inventor has converted
the spokes OF an automobile into whIs-
ties, which are operated by the C,r &C.
ton. The whistles are controlled by
series Of small rubber balls in con-
nectlon with the seat, their release
opening the valve IN the spokes ard
producing a peculiar whIstlIng noise
easily heard above the sound OF traffic.

To Cover JeIiies OF Jams.

Four melted paratfin directly onto
the jam or jelly, being particular to
have 1t touch the glass on all sides, so
that the air may be perfectly excluded,
then over the top of the glass fit n
paper which has been slashed about
the edges and brushed on the under
side with white of egg; the egg-whlte
will act rs a mucllage and preserva-
tive. This combination covering will
Insure the continued freshness of jam
and Jelly and keep 1t from shrinking.

Modelling Clay Animals.

In natural history museums clay
models of animals over which the skins
are stretched and made to appear en-

radical departure from taxerdermy
threatens to render thai art extinct, az
the carefully modelled figure made by
sculptor and placed in lifellke pose
is deemed far more desirable than
mere stuffed allmal as a natural his

take all of the opposition he makes for himself and all Of
