CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
Han Who Dumped Objectionable
 hatter on the Plank Road.

sanitary Inspector Callahan made a
 DE catch yesterday. For years peo-
 Die have made dumping ground of certain parts of the Plank road and the
 business was carried on so cleveriy that the authorities could not locate the guilty parties. This year several complaints came in that refuse from nsh markets and other places was be- Ing thrown along the roadside and the Inspector made up his mind to find out who was responsible for 1t. He finally landed his man yesterday and after having him clean up the place warned
 him that a second ohense will mean try in the police court This Is serious offense and yet it would seem that public ne cessity and convenience require that the city maintain a dumping ground There is one near the gas house. but whether it is public or not few know and probably nobody take the pains to find out. Most people dump their refuse in the most convenient spot they can find and take their chances of being detected. It is 3 risk just the same and if prosecuted it would cost an offender more to settle than It would to buy an acre or two in the country where he could dispose of rubbish without being afraid of any man. Fish cleanings is about the most offensive stuff that could be left under the sun and it is no wonder people who have occasion to travel along the Plank road have been yak ing quite a noise over the stench.

Shells filled with oil, intended tt calm stormy sea when fired into it have been invented in France. The effect of film of oil in reducing the size of waves is we'll known but iI the case of moving vessel it is diff cult to reach those in front. among which the ships progress will soon bring 1t. At first ordinary explosive shells containing oil were tried. but these. besides being dangerous. did not distribute the oil evenly. At pres ent wooden shells are used. allowing the oil to run evenly over the surface. For night use the shells have an iliil- minating attachment. The results are said to be satisfactory.
 
 The two sides of a persons face are never alike The eyes are out Of line in two cases out of five and one eye is stronger than the other in seven persons out of ten. The right eve is also as rule higher than the left Only one person in fifteen has perfect eyes, the largest percentage Of defects prevailing among fair-haired people. The smallest yibra ton of sound can be distinguished better with one ear than with both The nails Of two fingers never grow with the same ra- pldity, that of the middle finger grow ing the fastest, while that Of the thumb grows slowesr. In iftyfour cases out of one hundred the left leg Is shorter than the right.
 That's nice piece of composition. . remarked a reporter to a man who left an item at the Democrat office this noon. You don't mean it replied the gentleman. winking his off eye. and adding. T never could write a good hand. but when I was at scnool I could spell the devil. I was all right ar grammar and orthography. but for penmanship l never could do well enough to please myself. anyway" Notwithstanding this last admission. the writing was way above the average and the rest of the work showed that he still is capable of spelling the devil and more difficult words, too. Almost anybody can write good enough for business purposes. but some very smart people fall down on spelling and other things that go to make an up to date newspaper or magazine article.
