A LITTLE GRAY NEST IN THE CAT

Four spotted eggs of pale blue,
Hidden away in the marshes
Out in the sunshine and dew.
Four tiny bills pointing upward!
Fluttering of downy wings.

Four feathered birdlings all fitting.
Perched on a little gray nest.
Red-wing. so troubled and guarding.
Hardly finds time now to rest.
Four tiny heads, looking skyward-
Watching the flight of the bee.

Lonely and still are the marshes
Red-wings are flown-for away!

IMPORTATION OF cRYoLITE.
Mineral Product Comes from Green
land and is Extensively Used
in This Country.

There was a large falling off in The
quantity of cryolita imported into the
United States in 1901. This amounted
to $50 long tons, valued at $13, 70S. as
against 7.70S long tons, val.e ed at S1O2.-
$40, in 1903. This is the smallest
quantity of cryolite Imported into the
United States since 1871. Since 1855
the Importation has, except in 1896
been I'VE 5000 long tons a year, and
in 1887, 1894 ana 1897 the importation
was over 10000 long tons a year,
Cryolite las been found sparingly
at a number Of localities in the United
States, bat none of the deposits has
shown any indication of containing
cryGiIte in commercial quantity. All
the ~cryolite used in this country is
Imported from Greenland. The depos-
it's there are controlled by the Danish
government, which also limits the ex-
portation. The principal use of the
imported cryolite is in the manufac-
ture of aluminium and sodium salts,
and 1t is in these processes that cal
cium iluoride is obtained as a by
product.
The aforementioned facts a~e
taken from 1 report on the production
of lluorspar and cryolite in 1904, which

HOW TUNNEL WAS COOLED
intense Heat of Idaho Bore Mod
Grated by Hydraulic Spray
ing of Walls.

The boring of the Ok Bow tunnel in
IDAHO is INT of the great engineering
foats of the age. The Payette river at
this point makes a loop, and by putting
> tunnel through 1900 feet, the river
bed is left dfy for two and a quarter
niles. ,dt'is the intention to mine the
liver bed for gold, reports the Scientific
- merican.
Ordinarily the putting through of this
tunnel would be a simple matter, but
at 300 feet from the upper end and $50
feet from the lower hot water was
struck. The heat at first was from 50
10 105 degrees. increasing as the work
progressed to 1872 degrees at the hottest
point. Different fans and blowers were
Experimental with to cool the air in
the tunnel. but without success until
the superintendent of the work thought
of spraying the walls Of the tunnel with
water pumped from the river.
Very simple pumping apparatus and
common garden sprays were used with
complete success. The tunnel is 2S feet
wide and nine feet high, and the flow
of hot water amounted to 70 miners
inches. The cold water cooled the hot
water, and it vas pumped out with
common pumps.

EXPENSIVE INSTRUMENTS.
Handsome Los Angeles Home Has
Piano ana Organ Costing
Small Fortune.

A piano that, so far as known, is the
costliest in the world, was lately placed
in the music room of a handsome home
in Los Angeles. Cal. 1t is a concert
grand, the case fashioned in Louis XIV.
style, and heavily enameled in 14-karat
gold leaf.
More than two years elapsed between
placing the order in New York and it's
delivery in Los Angeles. The instru-
ment is so eXquisitely toned that its
bell-like clearness and depth of melody
would distinguish it instantly among
a score of fine pianos. 1t cost 100000.
The case is the work of a noted New
York master of decorative art. The face
of the lid is adorned with an a~llegorieal
scene-Apollo with his harp, surround
ed by goddesses and cupids, central
lmong them being the face of the own
rs son and heir from studies made
When the boy was two years of age.
A local factory has about completed
or the same home a $1,000 organ. the
pipes of which wi. be gold enameled,
ike the piano. An electrical attach
nent will make possible the playing of
both organ and piano from either the
FIRST or second floor of the house. The
attachments will be connected also
with "organ chimes" on the open stair
ease. and with an echo" above the
stairs.

WOULDN'T TAKE LETTER.
Address on One Intended for Police
man Was Too ~Compromis-

One of the policemen who have
been longest on Broadway has ac-
quirod among his associates the pic
t%uresque il inelegant name of Juicy
Bill the CRATER" and even IL they
do not give his full title they call him
by parts of it. Usually it's only Bill,
but the rest sometimes follows, says
the New York Sun.
One of the youngest men on the
squad had more courage the other day
than any of his colleagues. He saw q
letter that stood in the rack of the
house built for the uptown traffic mel.
1t had been observed by all during the
two days it was exhibited, but none
of them had undertaken to deliver it.
The address read Juicy Bill the
CRATER and this was followed by the
address OF the station house. Not a
nan in the squad intimated that he had
seen it. The man to whom it was adj
dressed also ignored it. But the young
est recruit wanted to make himself
over one afternoon.
Say" he began. as he walked over
to the person for whom the letter was
intended, there is a letter for you over
there. It's addressed Juicy Bill the
CRATER"
There was an awful silence after this
kind offer of information. 1t was not
noticed by anybody-even by the man
for whom the letter was intended. He
walked out of the house without his let

that it would create u laugh in one
