WHERE ASTORIAN'S EAT.

Quick service, combined with cleanli.
ness, and high quality, is what the ma
jority of people desire when they eat,
and the restaurant where all these ac-
commodations can be obtained is where
they go. The Palace Catering Company
on Commercial street, just opposite the
Page building, is known by every AS
toriOn as the place to obtain what they
want. Here they all go and having
gone, no other restaurant will satisfy.
A speciality is made by the Palace res
taurant for bonquets, and party service.

CORE OF THE EARTH METAL
Great Density Of Formation Suggests
the Probability Of Such
Condition.

Is the middle Of the earth made Of
metal? Experiments on the gravita-
tional attraction between small masses
give us the means Of determining the
average density Of the earth, and It
has always been considered remark
able that the density thus found, ave
and a half times that of water, is far
higher than the mean density Of the
rocks which constitute those parts Of
the earth accessible to us. These lat
ter have not more than two and half
or three times the density of water.
1t does not seem probable that any
pressure in the interior, however
great, could explain SO great differ
ence. 1t must be assumed that the In
terror is made Of totally different
material from the outside. The great
density Of the earth suggests that In
all probability its core is of metallic
nature. 1t is significant that the me-
teorite, the only planatry bodies Z Of
which we can examine the interior,
are composed for the most part Of
nickel iron. The inference becomes al-
most irresistible that the iron bearing
rocks are samples of the deep interior,
which by rare and exceptional chance
have been extruded to the surface by
volcanic agency.

just showed me to these rooms, but
I've been wondering If they realized

wIND-MADE ELECTRICITY.
Indiana Man Works Out Practical
Method of Accomplish

Wind-made electricity holds out the
promise of becoming a great boon to
rural districts; and the day is near ct
hand when every farmer who has
windmill on his grounds can enjoy
electric lights and the many other
services which electric power h
capable of,yielding. For many years.
men have been trying to convert wind
power into electricity. r. w. Wilson,

practicable method of accomplishing
It, states the Technical World Maga-

In producing wind-made electricity,
Wilson calls upon the windmill to per-
form its customary function Of pump
ing water. He leads the water into .
hydraulic regulator built on the prin-
cipie Of water-lift. in which the pres
sure is controlled by weights, and
from which 1t Is released by means OF

by residents living near the corner

ing stopped up at this place and the

by and also stagnant water remain
ing in the catch basins. A thorough
investigation was made by the offic-

ling discovery was made. I
AS this place has no sanitary sew

carry the water from the cutters on
this side of the gutter at Station and
