A little over year ago Chicago exper-

such an extent that it was impossible to
get leather into the factory or the manu-

about two weeks. This trouble was
barely adjusted when the teamsters went
on a strike. and nothing could be moved
in or out of the factory For neither of
these conditions was Mr. Fargo in any
way responsible, nevertheless he was
compelled to suffer along with hundreds
of other manufacturing concerns.
Then it was that Mr. Fargo really
opened negotiations with Bedding. and

KNOWLEDGE OF CITY
LAWS WORTH $3.50

Although it is against a CITY ordi-
nance to ride wheel on a sidewalk in
Grand Rapids, the custom is being
indHlged in, when the riders know
themselves to be out of the sight of
the police. But it does not always
depend upon the policeman to cause a
pinch for this Offense. This fact is
not generally known, and those who
know il usually have to pay for the
knowledge. The price of learning the
fact is IS so in Grand Rapids.
Friday night as Herman Getzlaff
was returning from work, he was run
into, knocked down, and bruised by a
bicycliSt on the west side. why
don't you get out of the way" shouted
the rider. Getzlaff concluded the
man was Shy some information as to
the city laws, and had a warrant
sworn out for the offender. Saturday
morning before Justice Reyes, George
II. Kordenat, the rider, purchased the
required information for $3.50, his
fine and costs for riding on the side
walk. After all there is no better
teacher than experience.

IS THE SUN LOSING POwER7

The recent appearance Ut immense
groups Of spots upon the sun, taken
in connection with the vagaries OF
the weather during the past winter,
and with the suggestion Of Professor
Samuel p. Langley that the radiation
of the sun has, within the past two or
three years, undergone measurable
variations affecting the general
temperature OF our planet, brings the
subject of the cause and nature of
sunspots, and their possible effect
upon the earth, once more FROM
inently before the public. 1t is
question that concerns all mankind.
II the supposed effect exists, our inter-
est is not diminished by the fact that
it is thing completely beyond
human control or interference. But,
being forewarned, and understanding
the nature of the distributing forces,
we may, conceivabIy, mitigate the
results to ourselves.
Just now the sun is approaching a
state of maximum disturbance. Some
thing is going on in his mighty globe
which produces tremendous upheavalS
on his surface, and these are accom-
panied by the appearance OF black
spots, so large as occasionally to be
visible to the naked eye. although we
are ninety-three-million miles away
from them. Just what these spots
are we do not know, but there are
excellent reasons for believing that
they show the existence of vast
expanses of cooler material floating in
the photosphere of the sun. somewhat
like masses of cooled Stag on the
surface of liquid iron. II they we're
extensive enough to cover all, or
nearly all, of the solar surface, the
sunlight aud the supply of heat
would be practically cut off from the
earth, and it would cease to be a
habitable globe. -Garret P. Serviss

HORSE HEAD In
WHEEL SPOKES

The Appleton Post had the follow.
ing interesting Item in their last
issue:
zone of the strangest accidents to a
horse that has ever been reported in
the city took place last evening on
Second street. George Wettengel
was driving past a street car when
his horse took fright, reared up and
fell over backwards, In some way,
which no one can explain, the animal
was twisted up in such manner that
its head was forced between two of
the Spokes in the front right wheel.
Strange to say that while the horse
lay in this position the harness re-
manned nearly intact, but one strap
being broken and no damage was
done to the carriage except twisting
the shafts.
The horses head was stuck in the
wheel so tightly that it was necessary
to take the wheel off from the axle
before the animal could be freed. It
was then discovered that the horse
had broken tooth in the mixup.
The animal when up, staggered ahead
and came in contact with the iron
step on telephone pole, cutting the
side of it's head.
The horse, harness and carriage
were left in good enough shape SO the
trip to the barn could be made. The
luck some people have in accidents is
remarkable, as in most cases the CARR
age would have been ruined and the
horse severely injured"

what you eat regardless of the

the specifications presented by Mr..

The work has been suspended as
Mr.. Mosher recognized the. right OF
Officer HERS TO stop work which
might be regarded in the nature of

plans are not in accordance with the
suggestions he made when the turn1-

it installed as the superintendent had
