 "I have seen the mayor and many prominent citizens, and they have all as- sisted me in arriving at an understand ing of the conditions. I have no au- thority to act in the matter, but am only an intermediary. as 1t were."
 We discussed every phase of the strike" said Levy Mayer. "No propo- sitions for the settlement of the strike were made by any of the people pres ent. There Is nothing to arbitrate in this matter"

provided on the base, the spot on the
ball which fitted in the die not being
polished. A few years ago C. B. Mer.
chant, a local banker, erected the mon.
ument. In August, 1904, an employe of
the cemetery observed that the unpol,
ished spot of the ball had become Wis.
ible and that the ball had revolved
nearly 20 inches In a %northerly direc-
tlon from its original resting place.
Since that time a regular systematic
inspection Of the phenomenon has been
made, the result being an unquestion-
able establishment Of proof that the
ball is continuously and regularly NOV
Ing. Between August and December
examinations show that the ball has
moved five inches.
An investigation showed that the
ball In no way had been fastened to
its base, the builders expecting that
its weight would hold it in place.
When the matter was reported to them
they replied by saying that they had
never in their experience heard of
such a phenomenon. All sorts of in
quirles were made, bringing a varied
lot Of replies and explanations. But
a satisfactory solution has not vet
been given.

buildings on the outer edge cluster the
State, Territorial and other and minor

Ing, which contains the executive of

Elaborate displays in attractive
buildings held the attention Of ,-e
thousands of opening day visitors. The
European exhibits building, which Is
separated from the agriculture palace
by the Sunken Gardens of Columbia
Court, helps to make the plaza pleas

tower, which contains a roof garden,
where visitors have luncheon while
gazing at the throng in the building,
hundreds of feet below.
The exhibits represent every country
In Europe and embrace art. science

crowds. japan has n fine display, and
China, India, the East Indies, Ceylon

IMPROVED STENCIL SHEET.

number Of guide lines for spacing, etc.
These now come, according to recent
patent publications, with the backing
sheet printed in colors that contrast
sharply with the color Of the superim-
posed stencil sheet. AS n result the
characters stand out in bold relief,
being readily visible to the typist,
who, while cutting the stencil, may
not only distinguish the figure, scales,
or other indicating media more clearly,
but may also more readily scan that
portion of the stencil already cut. It
Is claimed that the covering of print
cr's ink on the backing sheet helps in
the removal of the small superf1uous
particles Of wax which are cut from
the stencil sheet by the type, so that
the stencil furnishes a clear cut, fine
line characteristic of ribbon work. The
stencil sheet is commonly of a very
light color, and. when this is placed
before the hacker, which is printed
black, the ease of reading the cut stem
ell Is apparent.

On the facade are inscribed the pro-

1t Is lot claimed for the Portland
fair that it exceeds all previous eXhi-
billions of a like nature in comprehen-
s%iveness Of design and magnitude of
realization. Its promoters, however,
declare that it is the most complete
and artistic fair ever held on this or
any other continent. First Of all, its
lcation is most attractive. Occupying
as it does an area of 402 acres adjoin-
ing the principal residence section of
Portland, on gentle slopes and verdant
terraces overlooking Guilds Lake and
the Willamette River, with the snow
capped peaks Of Mount Hood and
Mount st. Helens rising like gigantic

man, however, proposes to manufac-
ture rules in which the main joint, or
hinge, carries a stem and loop design
ed to be attached by any Of the COM
mon methods to the ~suspender buttons.
II the mechanics wife doesn't keep
his %suspender buttons up to the regu-
lation number, he, of course, can util-
ize any other button that is con-
venient. The attaching device is much
like that used on the key chains that
had such a vogue several years ago,
and which still constitute a staple arti-
Gle Of trade of the small peddler. The
stem and loop are so designed that
they do not interfere with the opening
Of the rule members to their fullest
extent. In other respects the rule does
not differ from the standard article.
The New York inventor Of this i'm
provement in design claims that its
embodiment does not interfere with
the convenient and ready use of any

ton, yet forming a steam, air and
water tight pan. The illustration sug-
gests the multiple baking pans that
have been brought out for round
loaves. Most, if not all, Of these have
continuous end fianges, which it is
claimed prevent the circulation Of heat
back and forth between the different
sections. which circulation is very de
sirable in order to insure uniform bak-
ing. Despite the square shape Of the
loaves produced by the pan illustrated,
there is 40 difficulty in removing them
without breaking the crust, as the par

of visitors to former expositions that
the vastness and attempt to be ex-
haustive have made a full apprecia-

been influential with the managers Of

to secure for the Portland event a de-
gree of c%ompactness and concentration
of detail which would enable the aver

ed, but that did not discourage Mr..
Ziegler. The latter at once turned to
the reiitting Of another expedition and
that expedition, led by Anthony Fiala,
of Brooklyn, Is now in the Arctic.
Mr.. Ziegler was u native of Penn
s%ylvania, where he was born in 1913.
Early in his career he was a printer,
but in 1870 engaged in the baking pow
der business and rapidly accumulated
millions. For many years he lived In
New York and was a heavy dealer in
real estate.
Mr.. Ziegler's death was due to a
runaway accident in which he was In
jured. He had been an invalid since,
his injuries having been internal and
beyond the reach Of successful medi-
cal treatment. He is survived by his
wife and one son.
