which the Decarie company has ever
built was sold to the city of Atlanta,
Ga, for $31,5O0 and they want $70,S64
for the plant here"
Members of the board Of public
works said the price at which the city
of Atlanta obtained it's plant had been
made known to them recently. Coun-
Gilman Kern read a telegram from At
lanta telling what a good plant the city
had, but containing no price. The
Seventh ward councilman then moved
that the garbage question be taken
from the board of public works and
referred to the committee Of the whole.
Councilman Smith said: 1.-THE citi-
zens of Los Angeles are being wronged
by this garbage contract being rail-
roaded through before firms wishing
to bid have the opportunity of doing
SO. The 12-day advertisement scheme
for question of such Importance is
farcical.

of the famous David he has sent moth
ing to Los Angeles which could excel
in splendor the production which his
brother Frederic. has built here on q
weeks notice.
Beauty of "ParsfaI',
"Parsifal'' is like a golden tapestry
into which has been woven a beautiful
sacred legend of the medieval times.
AS it unrolls the spectator traces in its
woof story of evanescent beauty. Its
knights of the Grail, the Grail itself,
the Sacred Spear, "the Guileless Fool"
the gardens of the magicians, fasten
themselves into the mind with a force
that is peculiar for any dramatic per-
formance. About the entire production
there is cast the spell of Wagner's
charming music.
1t is almost an opera. Many musi-
clans have been added to the regular
orchestra of the Belasco theater and
Mr.. j. N. Laraia has been brought
here from San Francisco to direct it.
also to Mr.. Charles Henley, who di-
rected the vocal music. Harold For

appearing on the stage, renders two
delightful solos.
The degree of reverence which is put
into a theme so nearly sacred by a
stock company using a dramatized ver-
sion of a grand opera and producing
it on only seven days practice is as
tonishing. There is very little which
even the most hypercritical could find
to condemn. The three acts of this
"ParsifaP are continually in harmony
with their subject. By a series of
wonderful stage pictures it rises grand
ly to the final climax. The last scene
is the strongest of them all. The re-
turn of Parsifal, "the guileless fool, "

Gases Penetrate Glass.

With liquid air performing feats and doing jobs for the scientific and in dustrial worlds, gaseous glass is per haps not amazing. Glass, the renown- ed experimentalist, M. Berthelot, has rroved permeable to gases at nigh temperature. At temperatures below its melting point glass has been as- sumed impenetrable by oxygen, nitro gen and carbon monoxide and dioxide, but between $50 and 800 Centigrade glass tubing has shown itself permea ble. This passage of gases through slightly softened glass is compared to the gaseous exchanges taking place at the ordinary temperatures through the walls of India rubber tubing and the importance is emphasized of this prop erty of glass hitherto unsuspected in many chemical and physical investiga- tions at high temperature.

MAN WHO WASHES CLOCKS
One of Few Engaged in This Sim % gular Business in United
 States.

'I'ye been washing the faces of the city clocks nigh on to ten years, guess" said a pleasant Scotch-Irish- American, according to the New York Post, and before that I did 1t in the old country. There aren't many face washers in this land. and the few who know the business do we'll at it." He and derby hat
 'Is your work anything like that of the steeple- climber" he was asked.
 Bless you, no," he replied, with twinkling eyes, much amused. "Only in one thing, and that is that mostly sailors take up with the trade. That's because we're good climbers, you know. I've washed the faces of city and church clocks that were 180 feet from the ground, and it took me two and three weeks to do it. I'm a practical clock repairer, tOo-have to be, you know-and do my work in huge wooden cradle made for the purpose. Some clocks get their faces dirty in Q year or so; others remain clean ten years, and so on. Old Ben, Vest minister's great clock. Is expected to keep clean 15 years.
 "In the old days the trade was more dangerous. We used to work from scaffolds and got many dangerous falls. Now we have the cradles, and all the fxings and comforts. and if a man keeps his head he can work as we'll as on the curb. How is the pay? We'll, that's hard to figure, for we work by the job. We don't clean clock faces in winter, so we make enough in the summer to last the year around. Of course, sometimes the clocks are taken out of their cases and repaired in the shops. Last year I cleaned 2,OO0, and visited only two other cities, Chicago and Boston. This year I'll make more because the building operations have grimed the clocks and given our trade an increased demand

MADE APOLLO COME DOWN

The cook had struck The coach man had struck. The nurse, had struck. The maid had struck Everybody had struck, relates the Chicago Record i Herald. With a sickening fear, the great man heard 9 confused murmur outside. IL become louder, increasing i to horrible din like unto that pro- duced by the Roman mob. He heard his name shouted above the awful roar, and, urged by his wife, he at last yentured to 8 window.
 People he cried. why have you struck What do you want? I have tried to deal fairly with you. What IS your grievance?"
 The coachman, who was acting as leader of the crowd, stepped forward, saying:
 We were ordered out by the head of the Teamsters union."
 What has the Teamsters' union to do with me or the way my house is run?''
 You have statue of Apollo in your hall"
 Yes. It is one Of my choicest pos sessions. It is a great work of art. l am very proud of it."
 You must pull 1t down and have 1t thrown out of your house before we can return to work We have our orders from the president of the Teamsters' union"
 This is preposterous. What has my statue of Apollo to do with you or your duties? And where does the Teamsters' union come in?"
 ''It seems" the coachnan replied, that Apollo and Phoebus were the same party. and it's reported on good authority that Phoebus used to be non-union driver We've got our or ders. We can't work for man who sets up a statue of Phoebus, the scab, ill the hall"
 Realizing the force of the argu- ment, the great man yielded. It was the first time strikers had ever caught him unprepared to go on with a new set of hands.

DETHRONING OF ALCOHOL,
Being Brought About by the Mod ern Spirit of Scientific
 Research

Another potent factor in the dethron- ing of alcohol has been the spirit of scientific research of recent years, says an. Open Letter, in Century Tn the great laboratories scientists have been carefully studying the effects Of aico- holc liquors upon the various organs of the body, and, although they differ in their conclusions upon some points. the result is that those physicians who have most closely followed these inYestiga- tions have, almost or entirely. abjured alcoholics as necessary part of their therapeutic outfit. These elaborate studies of alcohol have convinced many that the nOurishing and strengthening properties formerly ascribed to alcohol ics existed only in the imagination. and belong to the errors of an age which had no facilities for accurate observation. The food qualities of the grains and fruits, it is now believed by many au- thorities, are destroyed in the process of making alcoholic drinks. Even the , stimulating qualities ascribed to alcohol are denied by many. who class it among the narcotics because of it's depressant effect.

RUIN THE PICTURES.
PEOPLE WHO "BUTT IN' WHEN
 CAMERA IS WORKING.
Scenes Carefully Arranged by Nov ing Picture Artists Are Dis turbed and Rendered
 Useless.

Our work is sometimes seriously interfered with by the butttnskis, and then again there are times when their slamming in helps us. said the man. ager of moving picture concern, who himself frames up the incidents and supervises the taking of the pictures.
 1t Is impossible to guard against the folks with the butting-in habit, for when they see anything unusual com ing off on the street or in any public place their natural busybody instinct takes hold of them, and they're bound to nudge up and take ] hand in the proceedings.
 Over In Trenton few weeks ago I fixed up horsewhipping scene. The first part of the set was easy enough to get. It was scene in a restaurant, in which a pretty girl, seated at a table little distance away from another table at which frolic- some man with a homely wife is din- ing, falls to making goo-goo eyes at the man
 "The second scene. in which I ar ranged to have the horsewhtpping take place, took place outside the restau- rant. We'd got police permission to take the pictures, and I had two or three men stationed iu front of the restaurant to keep the crowd back while the phony horsewhipping was in progress,
 When everything was all set and the machine was snapping away at the homely wife laying the lash acrossl the face and shoulders of the fiirta- tious girl-the lash looked like rattan, but it was phony, and didn't hurt at all-our troubles began.
 First a big vannigan of man slammed in and grabbed my homely woman by her Iash-wielding arm, bawling that he didn't believe in see ing no woman stinging another wom. m like that, and that QueeredS one set of Aims. The machine had to be stopped while the big buttinski was being informed that the thing was only a tableau. and that he didn't belong to the picture.
 "He took the gibes of the crowd sour- fly, at that, and looked to be in so much of mind to kick our gear to pieces that had to get cop to walk him down the street.
 When we got all set again and the horsewhipping of the f1irtatious girl was once more going on scrawny hatchet-faced woman, who had just joined the outer circle of the crowd, and who wasn't up to what was com ing off, rushed into the scene with a shriek, grabbed my two acting women by the hair, and started in to rough house them both for their 'indecency In fighting on the street, as she yelled st them The machine had to be stopped again.
 "The incident as I Trad framed 1t up didn't call for anything like that. I had it arranged that after the whip ping had proceeded for a space the guilty husband of the homely wife was to rush in and attempt to sep arate the two women, when his wife was to turn on him with the lash, caus- ing him to skiddoo down the street. The girl with the goo-goo eyes was tG seize the whip from the other wom- ans hands and start in to get hunk for the cutting she'd received, the scene ending up that way"

When Game Was Cheap in Kansas.
 Even as late as 1886 and 1887 veni- son was as cheap as beef in the fall, the choicest cuts selling for 121a cents a pound, while wild turkeys could be had for 75 cents each when tame tur- keys no larger sold for dollar. Brant or wild geese were hard to get rid of, as no one liked their meat. There was little fishing, not nearly so good as now, and the fish were nearly all perch or cat.
