IAN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS"

The autumn season Is coming more
and more to be recognized as a most
suitable time for housepainting. There
Is no frost deep in the wood to make
trouble for even the best job of paint
ing, and the general seasoning Of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather,
moreover, is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length Of time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry, a
very important ~precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money if they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats.
Instead of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is in~convenient, of
but, II one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, 1t would add two
or three years to the life Of the paint"
All this is assuming, of course, that
the paint used is the very best to
be had. The purest of white lead and
the purest of linseed oil unmixed with
any cheaper of the. cheap mixtures,
often known as white Lead" and oil
which has been doctored with fish Oil,
benzine, corn oil or. other Of the
adulterants known to the trade are
used, all the precautions Of the skilled
painter are useless to prevent the
cracking and peeling which make
houses unsightly in a year or so and,
therefore, make painting bills too fire.

NEAR DEATH THROUGH SNAKE
Sleeper AWoke to Find Monster Coiled
Around His Neck:

r. e. Feve, an employee Of the
Northern Electric, had a thrilling e.
perience with a snake Tuesday morn
ing. Feve with two companions occu-
pies a tent made out Of gunny sacks
In the western portion of Oroville.
He was awakened by a feeling OF
strangulation. He attempted to cry
out, but so tightly was his throat
bound that he could make no sound.
As he became fully awake he realized
that something must be done or he
would choke. He grabbed franrically
for his throat and his hand slipped
over the scales of a huge snake which
had coiled itself around his neck. He
frantically pulled the coils loose. the
reptile resisting him and biting him
IN the cheek.
His two companions, awakened by
the noise, came to Feve's rescue. The
two pulled the snake away and threw
It to the floor, where it glided away
while the men attended to Mr.. Feve's
wound. The reptile was a gopher
snake.-Redding Correspondence San

PECULIAR MEANS OF DEFENSE
Small Daggers Of Light Sent Out by
the Centipede.

Among the peculiar powers of AMI
mails there are none harder to explain
than the power OF being self-luminous.
1t Is sometimes termed phosphores-
cence, but 1t is not now supposed to
depend upon phosphorus in the ami
NAL. A correspondent OF Nature de-
scribes her experience with a lumi-
nous centipede which shows the evil
dent purpose of the luminous sub
stance as a Of defense. Atten-
ton was first attracted by a light OF
brilliant bluish-green that moved for
ward yer the gravel, leaving behind
. trail of light, which, gradually sep
arating, became . scattered mass OF
brilliant points. The scattered points
proved to be red ants, which were pur-
suing the centipede. 1t had discharged
this luminous liquid yer them. The
centipede was picked up and put in
q tumbler where 1t flashed out .
mass Of light. When the hand was
placed over the tumbler to prevent
the escape Of the captive, a strange
prickly sensation was felt as from a
slight charge of electricity. The GEN.
tipede would writhe the light out OF its
body in blue-green flashes until 1t had
exhausted it's luminosity and ceased
to shine. Defense seems certainly to
be one of the uses of this secretion.

TIqers Tap Rubber Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
IL a prosperous rubber factory run by
q long-headed S%cotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
Is made it is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district, but there are
an abundance Of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap" the trees, but
the Scotch proprietor hit on a bril-.
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond Of valerian, so he gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stuff. The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark in
the most approved herringbone fash.
ion, after which all that the coolies
had to do was to walk around n q
day and collect the rubber.

WHALES SCRATCH EaCES.
Bilge Keels OF Ocean Steamers Make
Good Barnaclo scrapers for
Them.

When a naval architect plans an ir1.
provement in marine construction he
generally has little thought for it's ef
feet on the denizens Of the sea. The
man who invented bilge keels, how.
ever. says a writer on South America,
provided the whales of the Brazilian
coast just the sort Of back scratcher
they needed.
Insect pests annoy the whale and
barnacles find a home on a large part
Of his body. Sometimes the monsters
may be seen rolling on a shallow
sandy bottom to displace these pests
or rubbing themselves on the rocks
Of the reefs.
On one occasion the mall steamer
Orissa was stopped during a dense fog
a few miles off Santa Maria island in
the Pacific. The coast being danger
Gus an anchor was let down 60 faith
oms or so and the ship allowed to drift
In smooth water.
About six o'clock In the morning
the captain heard some heavy whale
blows" or "spouts" apparently close
at hand. Shortly afterward a con-
tinued tremor of the ship was felt. It
was too gentle for an earthquake and
was varied with bumps. Soon a huge
whale rose slowly out Of the water
and floated alongside. like a bark bot
tom side up. 1t again descended and
the tremors recommended.
Then the crew noticed barnacles and
shell-1sh coming to the surface and
the secret was out. The whale was
scraping himself-currying himself
on the sharp plate which projected as
a steadier from the vessels bilge.
Not caring to have him so near In
case he should smash the boats, the
captain had him pelted with potatoes
a1I coal, but he took no notice of 1t
till a piece Of coal went into his mouth
and was swallowed by mistake. Then
he drenched the vessel thoroughly. and
steamed" away, a last flourish Of his
tail indicating that he was seeking
quiet In the greater depths.

BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
1t Is Dedicated by the w. L. Douglas
Co. at Brockton.

The dedication a short time ago of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the w. l..
Douglas Shoe Co. as a part of it's NAM
moth manufacturing plant at Montello
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the
firm in all it's undertakings.
The d~edicatory program included
open house from II a. m. to s p. M.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence Of a Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded a feast
for the eye, especially the Offices,
which are marvels in many ways
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over IL, 900 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the w. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufacture
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says "the latch string is always out"
All departments Of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and Wis
itors were received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and GUS
sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
jobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 26O feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
Offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry a
complete stock of mems, boys, youths.
misses and children's shoes, slippers.
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bling house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
will be a finely appointed sample room
the second floor, with an office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed, with operators, both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph |
wires to be used. There will also be |
arrangements for the receipt and des- |
patch of mail.
